Liang Shiqiu is a famous modern and contemporary Chinese essayist, scholar, literary critic, and translator, and the first authority in China to study Shakespeare. He translated The Complete Works of Shakespeare, which is his masterpiece of fame, and behind the success of this translation is the support of this woman, her name is Cheng Jishu.
Since ancient times, talented people have matched beautiful people, but Liang Shiqiu loves talented women more. It is said that talents are sentimental, but Liang Shiqiu is amorous but not abusive.
During the Republic of China, many celebrity marriages were arranged, but Liang Shiqiu was no exception.
In 1921, one day, when Liang Shiqiu was returning home on the weekend, he accidentally read a red note with his birthday written on it, so he thought that this was the family's guarantee for him. The person who draws the red line is a classmate of the woman's side named Huang Shuzhen.
Huang Shuzhen and Liang Shiqiu's family know each other, and she feels that Cheng Jishu and Liang Shiqiu are a special match, so she goes to Liang's family to propose to Liang Shiqiu, and the Liang family also visits Cheng Jishu's house in order to understand what her future daughter-in-law is like.
Cheng Jishu was born into a famous family, her grandfather was a former official to the prefect of the Daimyo Province, she was still a well-educated person, knowledgeable and good-looking. The Liang family is very satisfied with this future daughter-in-law, Cheng Jishu. Simply asked her to generate eight characters back.
Liang Shiqiu, a young man with a new love sinus, is full of expectations for love. He was not disgusted by this arranged marriage, and coupled with the family's satisfaction with Cheng Jishu, he couldn't wait to know what his fiancée looked like, so he asked her out to meet. I didn't expect that the two would have a good feeling for each other as soon as they met. Cheng Jishu looks fresh and handsome, which is the ideal appearance of Liang Shiqiu, although Cheng Jishu is two years older than Liang Shiqiu, it does not affect the love between the two. In the following days, the two began a romantic date. Originally, it was an arranged marriage, but it forced the two to talk about free love. But the relationship lasted two years and then faced a long-distance relationship.
In 1923, after graduating from Tsinghua University, Liang Shiqiu was sent to the United States for a three-year study abroad career. Couples in love are inseparable, Liang Shiqiu and Cheng Jishu agreed to get married after Liang Shiqiu returned from studying abroad three years later, and liang Shiqiu gave Cheng Jishu a watch when he was parting, and Cheng Jishu personally embroidered a silk handkerchief for Liang Shiqiu, which is a promise of love between the two.
When Liang Shiqiu was in the United States, he often saw things and thought about people, and he loved Cheng Jishu to the bone. Unexpectedly, Liang Shiqiu had not waited for three years, and he could not help but miss his fiancée, and he returned to China in the summer of 1926 before he could get a master's degree.
On February 11, 1927, Liang Shiqiu and Cheng Jishu held a wedding in Beijing. After marriage, Cheng Jishu gave up her job to start the life of a husband and a godson, and also became her husband's right-hand man at work.
Behind a successful man is a woman who silently supports him. When Liang Shiqiu went to Qingdao University as the head of the Department of Foreign Languages and the director of the library, she also had more activities, so in order to make her husband less involved in politics, she disguised herself to propose to her husband that he translate Shakespeare's works, which took nearly 30 years of painstaking efforts until 1967 to translate the finished draft. When translating books, Cheng Jishu has been acting as Liang Shiqiu's assistant, assisting him in sorting out and binding book manuscripts. Therefore, Liang Shiqiu said: "Translating Shakespeare's works is a huge project, and ji Shu is the only one who accompanies me on this long journey. "Love is mutual companionship, love is a long stream."
After the fall of Peiping in July 1937, Liang Shiqiu learned that he had been blacklisted by the Japanese and had to go first in order to take refuge. Because several children were still young at that time and the mother-in-law was too old to travel long distances, the two decided to let Liang Shiqiu go first after weighing and waiting for the situation to stabilize before making plans, and this was a few years.
Cheng Jishu is responsible for taking care of several children as well as her elderly mother. It was not until the death of her mother in 1943 that Cheng Jishu took her child to reunite with Liang Shiqiu. A few years of life and labor on the face of the two people a little more vicissitudes of the years, looking heart-wrenching, the two have not been separated since then.
After the couple married, they have always loved each other as before, and Cheng Jishu is also working hard to take care of Liang Shiqiu and the children, and has never complained half a word. In this past, the husband and wife have spent more than forty years hand in hand.
In 1972, Liang Shiqiu and his wife defected to their daughter to settle in the United States, unfortunately, on April 30, 1974, when Liang Shiqiu and his wife went to the market to shop, Cheng Jishu was unfortunately hit by a ladder and died. The departure of his wife made Liang Shiqiu feel very sad in his heart, and he could not come out for a while. In order to mourn his late wife Cheng Jishu, Liang Shiqiu later wrote a book called "Dream Memories of Huaiyuan".
Not long after his wife's death, 71-year-old Liang Shiqiu decided to go to Taiwan, where he met Han Jingqing, who was 28 years younger than him, which was also his future second wife.
Han Jingqing is a singer and movie star in Taiwan, she has an elegant temperament, although she is more than forty years old, but it can be seen from her bone appearance that she must have been a stunning beauty when she was young. She is also a rich man, and her father Han Hui'an is a local rich man. Although Han Jingqing is a star, she loves literature and has the same hobbies as Liang Shiqiu, and the two soon began a vigorous year-old love. However, this relationship was opposed by Liang Shiqiu's students and friends around him, because a person in the show business circle married a "national treasure" master, which was a blasphemy against Liang Shiqiu. And many of the spearheads pointed at Han Jingqing. But all opposition could not change their determination to be together.
On May 9, 1975, 72-year-old Liang Shiqiu married Han Jingqing, 44. After marriage, the two have been settled in Taiwan. When they got married, Liang Shiqiu actually had severe diabetes, and Han Jingqing still chose to be with him and take care of his life without scruples. Whenever he wrote, she was by his side, just like the original Cheng Jishu.
The marriage lasted for 12 years until November 3, 1987, when Liang Shiqiu died of illness in Taipei at the age of 84. Han Jingqing also used 12 years to prove his affection for Liang Shiqiu.
Some people may say that Liang Shiqiu remarried not long after his wife's death, because he did not love his first wife enough, but love and non-love can not be measured by remarriage, at least Liang Shiqiu is very serious about the two relationships, he did not cheat in marriage, but after the death of his wife he began the next relationship. We can say that Liang Shiqiu is amorous, but he is not indiscriminate. What do you think?
