Zhu Xiang, a gifted scholar in Tsinghua, wrote 90 love letters for his beloved wife. He was so proud that his children starved to death. What is the end of his life?

Zhu Xiang, one of the "Four Childes of Tsinghua", was called "China Keats" by Lu Xun. In the 20th century, when talented people came forth in large numbers, Zhu Xiang was a genius who knew this well.

At the age of 20, he wanted to marry the person he loved. He wrote 90 love letters to tell the truth, but at the age of 29, he committed suicide and his wife had her hair cut.

Zhu Xiang, a literary genius

1904, Zhu Xiang, from Yuanling City, Hunan Province. He was brought up by his cousin because his parents died young. Zhu Xiang, who was smart and eager to learn since childhood, was successfully admitted to Tsinghua University, an institution of higher learning in China.

Because of his outstanding performance in the New Literature Movement and his unique attainments in poetry creation, he was later called "the four sons of Tsinghua" with Rao Mengkan, Sun Dayu and Yang Shien, and was an important poet in the history of modern China poetry.

Perhaps because of family reasons, Zhu Xiang is very self-reliant and strives to do his best in everything. This was originally a positive and beneficial character, but excessive self-reliance led Zhu Xiang to become very conceited and arrogant.

I won't let go of what I have decided, and I often don't listen to other people's suggestions, because I have done a lot of things impulsively without considering the consequences.

Zhu Xiang, with a strong figure and tall posture, has attracted the hearts of many girls because of her literary genius, but Zhu Xiang is already engaged.

At first, Zhu Xiang, who received a new education, was unwilling to accept an arranged marriage, but after meeting his fiancee Liu Nijun, she fell in love with her.

This may be fate. Compared with many arranged marriages in the same period, the combination of Zhu Xiang and Liu Nijun is lucky.

The shortcomings of stubborn character

1924, the wedding was held as scheduled. The wedding was held in Chinese style, but at the time of "two worships to Gaotang", my cousin thought that Zhu Xiang's parents died young and raised him by himself, not Zhu Xiang's biological parents. His eldest brother should give himself a big gift as a father.

But the stubborn Zhu Xiang firmly believes that parents are parents and no one can replace anyone. Moreover, bowing as a gift is a serious conformism, and it is a degradation of oneself.

The two immediately quarreled at the wedding, which delayed the auspicious time of the wedding and the two brothers broke up in discord.

Stubborn in character, he has also done many impulsive things in honesty and frankness. Just because Zhu Xiang suspected that Wen Yiduo, a literary genius, was jealous of himself, he wrote thousands of words to insult Wen Yiduo.

Because he was angry with himself, he implicated innocent Xu Zhimo. Just because he unilaterally thought that Xu Zhimo's eyes were disrespectful and that the other party was insulting himself, he began to abuse.

From 65438 to 0927, Zhu Xiang went to study in the United States. At that time, the opportunity to study abroad was not easy to get. Most people will study hard abroad, thinking of returning to China to serve their motherland one day.

But Zhu Xiang was no ordinary person-he was angry that the professor compared monkeys to China people. He immediately dropped out of school and left Lawrence for Chicago.

If Professor Lawrence's comparison of monkeys to China people is an insult to the country and Zhu Xiang is a patriotic impulse, then what Zhu Xiang did in Chicago is really an "impulse".

First, because the professor suspected that he borrowed books, his self-esteem was greatly hurt. Before he recovered, a beautiful classmate left Chicago again because she didn't want to sit at the same table with herself and felt humiliated.

Spiritual sustenance of romantic talents

Zhu Xiang is studying abroad, and Liu Nijun lives alone at home. As they couldn't meet, they exchanged letters.

During the two years of studying in the United States, Zhu Xiang wrote more than 90 true love letters to Liu Nijun, and even numbered them one by one.

Most of them are narratives of life, which will tell about Liu Nijun's suffering in studying in a different place, her depressed mood, and her thoughts and concerns about her wife.

Being here with his beloved wife Liu Nijun, Zhu Xiang is no longer so sensitive to dignity and face. On the contrary, to a certain extent, Liu Nijun was regarded as a heart-to-heart table, and she told her beloved wife without reservation what she usually said because of her inconvenient face.

Stubborn personality ruined life.

1September, 929, Zhu Xiang, who returned to China three years earlier, was hired as the head of the English Department by Anhui University with a monthly salary as high as 300 yuan. Zhu Xiang, who has been coveted by many people for public office, is still on pins and needles-because the school changed the "English Literature Department" to "English Department" and resigned angrily.

Angry Zhu Xiang couldn't help cursing-teachers selling information, coolies selling strength, prostitutes selling flesh, are actually the same thing: selling themselves!

Zhu Xiang once compared a foreign country to a death row. He should be strict in everything and have a strong sense of safeguarding the dignity of the individual and the motherland.

Anything that denigrates the motherland will make him furious. He is not only a proud man, but also a proud China man.

No matter how strong a person is, he still has to give in to reality. After that, no one dared to ask Zhu Xiang to handle affairs. Although Zhu Xiang is a gifted scholar, he is more like a time bomb.

If I'm wrong, Zhu Xiang will explode, and no one can stand living so hard every day. Zhu Xiang, who lost her source of life, changed the life of a family.

From Poetry to Melancholy

From the high-class families who didn't worry about food and clothing at the beginning, to the declining families who still can't eat and wear.

Zhu Xiang, who completely ignored livelihood and only considered dignity, not only made his beloved wife Liu Nijun suffer with herself, but even brought trouble to her newborn son. Because he had no money to drink milk, the proud Zhu Xiang refused to accept charity from others. The child cried for seven days and finally died young.

Although Liu Nijun is a wife, she is a mother. Before that, she unconditionally supported all Zhu Xiang's decisions and accompanied him through thick and thin.

However, due to Zhu Xiang's stubbornness, Liu Nijun lost her child and became the fuse of marital discord. In the past, loving couples often quarreled.

Zhu Xiang, who has lost her emotional sustenance, can no longer write poems as before, and her style of writing that has lost her interest in life is gradually becoming sad: "I abandoned the world, and the world abandoned me ... to cheer me up and relieve my troubles."

The impassioned young man gradually became a compassionate old man, and the old Zhu Xiang is gone forever.

The fall of literary genius

Zhu Xiang's extraordinary emotional intelligence is really worrying. I could have praised everyone and admired foreigners with my literary talent, but I just chose a targeted direct counterattack, and many times it was entirely my own imagination and my own wrong speculation.

In the end, Zhu Xiang's persistence ended in failure to fight against the world.

1933 In the early morning of winter, Zhu Xiang was drinking wine bought with the money earned by Liu Nijun on a boat that could only rely on relatives to help buy tickets. He took two books and sang poetry with Heine.

Drinking and singing in this way, when the cruise ship was about to enter Nanjing, he jumped into the river at the age of 29. After learning about it, Liu Nijun chose to cut her hair for Nepal and never asked about the world of mortals again.

Because of his dignity, Zhu Xiang abandoned all the auras such as "Four Sons of Tsinghua", "Famous Returnee" and "University Professor", and only needed others to give him titles such as "self-improvement", "self-respect" and "self-love".

In the end, he lived worse than a tramp. Because of his willfulness, he lost his wife and children, and finally ruined his life.
