While the eldest brother, Lu Xun (Zhou Shuren), and the second brother, Zhou Zuoren, have been thoroughly studied by scholars, the third brother, Zhou Jianren, remains little known-and there are even cases of mistaken identity and the spread of false information about him.This book draws on diaries, letters, memoirs, newspapers, periodicals, and archival materials to uncover and organize the life and vocation of Zhou Jianren. It traces his thirty years of life within the enclosed family compound in Shaoxing, and focuses on his editorial career at the Commercial Press from 1921 to 1944. During this period, as co-editor of Women's Magazine and editor-in-chief of Nature, he engaged in fierce written debates with Peking University professors Chen Bainian and Zhang Jingsheng-with his two elder brothers joining the fray. He joined Zou Taofen in setting up a "Love and Chastity" debate platform in Life magazine. Following Du Yaquan's call to "Sinicize science," he wrote numerous "scientific essays" and edited and published a series of natural science textbooks for different educational levels. These experiences rapidly transformed the Shaoxing native "Qiaofeng" (Zhou Jianren), who had only a primary school education, into a well-known "women's issues expert," "botanist," and "popular science writer" in Shanghai.The book also explores the glory and helplessness of Zhou Jianren's "scholar-turned-politician" path. Zhou Jianren made fruitful explorations in women's liberation, the Sinicization of science, and the editing of new-style textbooks, establishing himself as a historical figure distinct from his two elder brothers.¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿1921-1944¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿""¿¿¿¿"¿"¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿"¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿
