Tell the truth, how to judge Xu Zhimo's character, "love rat" or "everyone's friend"?

Unfortunately, in people's eyes today, Xu Zhimo is almost as simple and thin as leaving an extremely evil image of Wen Chou for love rat. I have always felt that this is neither objective nor fair. Most critical friends don't read Xu's books at all. They are also very divorced from the society at that time, observing people and observing the world. They were purely impulsive. The joy of justice is beyond words, but they can't ignore it. My overall view of Xu Zhimo can be summarized in one sentence: indeed, he is gentle and has problems in dealing with feelings, but his personality is not bad, even good.

Frankly speaking, the only thing he did wrong was to deal with personal feelings improperly. He is a little frivolous and promiscuous. He did love two women before and after, and the story that the emotional bond with these three women was torn has always been regarded as a laughing stock and a negative example, which has been criticized by future generations.

But he also has real feelings, not the kind that pursues lust, but the kind that loves at will. In all his romantic history, he still respected women. The two emotions he devoted in his life, namely his love with Lin and Lu Xiaoman, were sincere, and Zhang Youyi didn't blame him. In all fairness, Xu Zhimo's handling of feelings is careless, but he never gave up from the beginning, nor did he have a bad idea of playing with women.

Just imagine, if Xu Zhimo is just a simple love rat, can he really make all the women who have had emotional entanglements with him have no regrets according to the standards of judging people on the Internet today? More subtly, Xu Zhimo was not condemned for these things at that time, but actually seemed to enjoy a higher reputation. For example, Lu Xiaoman's ex-husband was killed in marriage. He didn't blame Xu for a word.

Zhang Youyi's brothers are not easy to bully. The three giants of politics and business are very kind to him, and there is no bad blood. Liang Sicheng knows the history of the relationship between Xu Zhimo and Lin like the back of his hand. He has no bad feelings towards Xu and has always respected him.
