Personal life

With Wang Geng

In 1922, at the age of 19, Lu Xiaoman left school and married Wang Geng at the order of his parents. But she was totally passive in this marriage. When the excitement of honeymoon gradually calmed down, she gradually found that she was not happy. In the third year of her marriage, Wang Geng was appointed director of Harbin police station. Wang Geng asked Xiaoman to go with her, and Lu Xiaoman lived in Harbin for a while. But Lu Xiaoman was not used to living in Harbin. After a short time, he separated from Wang Geng, so he became more indifferent to his husband. Because Wang Geng is focused on his work and future, when Lu Xiaoman wants to play, he says, "I don't have time. Ask Zhimo to play with you." Wang Geng would never have thought that such treatment would lead to a marriage crisis. In this way, Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman play together under the favorable situation approved by Wang Geng. Get along with each other day and night. After Wang Geng was transferred to Harbin police chief, Xu Zhimo had more opportunities to contact with Xiaoman, which made them fall deeper and deeper in love. However, "we know each other when we shouldn't know each other", Lu Xiaoman fell into infinite sadness. Before long, Lu Xiaoman and Wang Geng had another big dispute. Lu Xiaoman was insulted by Wang Geng in front of the public, claiming that he would never return to Wang's house in the future. After hearing this, Lu Ding was also very angry and expressed his support for his daughter's action. Finally, he divorced Wang Geng in 1925 and married Xu Zhimo in 1926. However, her remarriage with Xu Zhimo is under strong pressure from two aspects. One is Lu Xiaoman's mother's opposition, the other is to sign a divorce agreement with Wang Geng. Afterwards, Wu Manhua was very angry. At that time, it was quite difficult to accomplish these two things, but Hu Shi finally completed them. Xu shenru, Xu Zhimo's father, is a rich gentry in Xiashi Town, Haining County, Zhejiang Province. He thinks that it is a great treason for his son to divorce, and it is a disgrace to marry a married woman. Soon after, Xu Zhimo had to go south in person to discuss his second marriage with his father. Xu shenru said that if Xu Zhimo wants to remarry, he must obtain Zhang Youyi's consent. However, after his wife Zhang Youyi agreed, his father Xu shenru refused to agree. After Hu Shi, Liu Haisu and others came forward, Xu shenru finally reluctantly agreed, and Xu Zhimo also agreed to his father's three conditions. the witness at the wedding was Liang Qichao, who reprimanded Xu and Lu. Although Liang Qichao's "marriage testimony" is famous, it also reflects his concern and love for Xu Zhimo to a certain extent. But it is clear that Liang Qichao is selfish and unfair to Xu and Lu. Liang Qichao scolded the couple at the wedding ceremony, at least for their bad luck. Zhao Qingge expressed his strong dissatisfaction in the article: in order to win strong support, they invited Liang Qichao, a famous reformer, to be their witness. Originally, he wanted to use a shield to fight against the feudal forces, but Liang Qichao was also an authoritative figure who used feudalism to fight against feudalism. He sympathized with Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman hypocritically, and criticized their anti feudalism practice in public on the day of great joy, which made the two newlyweds laugh and cry for a while, so they had to bear the criticism wrongly.

With Xu Zhimo

After Xu Zhimo's death, even Yu Dafu found it difficult to describe how sad Lu Xiaoman was at this time. When Lu Xiaoman was sober, he insisted on going to Dangjiazhuang in Shandong Province to pick up Zhimo's body, and was persuaded by his friends and family. Finally, he decided to send Xu Zhimo's son Xu Jikai (born to Zhang Youyi) to Shandong to pick him up. after Xu Zhimo's body was transported back to Shanghai from Jinan, Lu Xiaoman saw the only relic at the scene, a long scroll of landscape painting. This painting was created by Lu Xiaoman in the spring of 1931. It can be called Lu Xiaoman's early masterpiece. What's more precious is its inscription and postscript. Xu Zhimo took this scroll with him to invite someone to add the title again in Beijing. Because the scroll was put in an iron suitcase, it didn't die. Lu Xiaoman looked at the painting and thought of Xu Zhimo's various advantages. Since then, she has been cherishing the painting. after Xu Zhimo died, Lu Xiaoman no longer went out to socialize. She silently endured the criticism and criticism from the outside world. As she said in the elegiac couplet to Zhimo, "how many previous lives have become nightmares, five years of joys and sorrows, a hasty eternal formula, and the way of heaven has been discussed again. If you want to die, you can't die because of your mother's old age. Don't hate to tell anyone. You are worried and sick, and you have to leave your soul. The world should be soon, and the posthumous will answer you." She cherished the memory of Zhimo and devoted herself to sorting out and publishing Xu Zhimo's posthumous works. It took her several decades, but the bitterness, bitterness, sweetness and bitterness were beyond words. Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman's marriage is a free combination breaking through the feudal shackles. Although they have hurt each other, they also love each other deeply.

With Weng ruiwu

According to Chen Dingshan's "old news of Chunshen", Lu Xiaoman was weak. After singing for two days, his old illness recurred and he got fainting. Weng ruiwu has a unique skill of massage. He is Ding Fengshan's direct descendant. He is Lu Xiaoman's massage. He can get rid of the illness easily. As a result, between Weng and Lu, there was often a chance for Luo Ru to have a half understanding and a wonderful hand to touch. " Lu Xiaoman once asked Weng ruiwu when he was treating her with massage: "ruiwu, it's really effective for you to give me massage, but you can't always be by my side. If I get sick when you're away, what can I do?" Weng ruiwu thought about it for a moment and said to Lu Xiaoman, "there is a way, but there is no way. It is not easy to adopt this method unless it is absolutely necessary." Lu Xiaoman even asked what method, Weng ruiwu said: "opium." When Lu Xiaoman heard that it was such a bad idea, he scolded ruiwu for harming others. But later, I saw that Weng ruiwu had been smoking all the time, and he had a good taste. He was always sick and couldn't control himself for a moment, so he slowly sucked on. She knows it's a bad habit, but once she's addicted, she can't control herself. She and Weng ruiwu used to sleep together on the couch in the living room. although Lu Xiaoman has deep feelings for Xu Zhimo, she still can't do without Weng ruiwu and Furong. After Xu Zhimo's death, in order to anesthetize herself, she became more and more conscious
