After the death of the original match, Feng Guozhang promised not to continue the string, why did he regret it again, and it was still the old and young match
The term "continuation of the string" was first derived from Yu Boya. His wife admired his piano skills and often listened to him play the piano. Once, when he was seriously ill, Yu Boya suddenly broke the strings while playing the piano, and his wife died at the same time. A year later, someone said kiss to Yu Boya, the woman proposed to listen to Yu Boya's request to play the piano, and was deeply moved by the sound of the piano, Yu Boya felt that he met a confidant, and agreed to this family affair, from then on, people will call the wife's remarriage after death as "continuation of the string".
There is a lot of debate about the continuation of the string, some people think that remarrying is unfaithful to the original wife, and some people feel that it is a good thing to make their lives happy. But then again, dealing with this problem still varies from person to person, so let's take a look at how the great warlord Feng Guozhang handled this problem?
Feng Guozhang had three main rooms and four such wives in his lifetime. In fact, he originally only had two rooms, that is, the original wife Wu Feng and the step-matching wife Zhou Zhen, and the successor wife, Feng Guozhang, died, and the eldest aunt Peng was helped to be the step-room, which became a three-room main room.
Feng Guozhang's original wife, Lady Wu, was married when he was studying at Maogong Academy in Hejian. At Mao Gong Academy, Wu Guozhang met a good teacher named Wu Zhen, who taught the history of the scriptures, and he especially liked Feng Guozhang, who knew the book and had great ambitions, and took the initiative to invite someone to go to the Feng family to talk about the media, and to give his sister Wu Fengxu to Feng Guozhang. In the first year of Qing Guangxu (1875), the 16-year-old Feng Guozhang married Wu Feng, who was Feng Guozhang's original wife Wu, and achieved a good story.
Lady Wu had three sons and a daughter, the eldest son Feng Jiasui, the second son Feng Jiadi, the third son Feng Jiayu, and the eldest daughter Feng Jiaxun. In June of the second year of the Qing Dynasty (1910), Lady Wu died of illness in Baoding, while Feng Guozhang was serving as the chief envoy of the Military Advisory Office of the War Department. Lady Wu and Feng Guozhang spent many years of hardship together. In order to thank the original wife for running the family, Feng Guozhang set up a Wu ancestral hall in the Feng Family Ancestral Hall for his children and grandchildren to sacrifice.
After Feng Guozhang's original wife Wu died in the second year of the Qing Dynasty (1910), he did not renew the string, and only had a few aunts and wives to accompany him. Yuan Shikai saw that Feng Guozhang lacked help, so he used his set of means to win people's hearts, and wanted to hang up some relatives with Feng Guozhang, just in the house there was a tutor who was not out of the cabinet, named Zhou Zhen, Yuan Shikai threaded the needle from it, and soon the merit was completed.
Zhou Zhen, characters such as, Jiangsu Yixing people. Her father was a former Qing cabinet scholar with only one son and one daughter under his knees. Because Zhou Li liked to read, her father taught her all the knowledge of his life. Later, Zhou Li followed his father to Beijing and enrolled in the Tianjin Girls' Normal School, and his knowledge was even more advanced. Through the introduction of the female principal Fu Zengxiang, she entered Yuan Shikai's home as a tutor, and the people in Yuan's mansion were in awe of Zhou Zhen.
Zhou Li once told Yuan Shikai's third wife the standard of marriage, and the original words were as follows: I will do my lifelong affairs, and I will not marry unless I am a high-ranking officer who holds great power. The Third Lady told Yuan Shikai this, and Yuan Shikai had the intention to match Zhou Zhen and Feng Guozhang, and cleverly arranged for the two to meet. Feng Guozhang was amazed after seeing Zhou Zhen's appearance, and Yuan Shikai said, "If you want to glue it, you should match it for the sake of cutting." Feng Guozhang had no intention of continuing the string, but because he was president Yuan Shikai as a matchmaker, and Zhou Ling was highly educated, he could be his own xiannei helper, so he agreed. When the two were married, the bride was only in her thirties, while the groom was already fifty-five years old, and the old man and young wife were unhappy.
When Lady Wu died, Feng Guozhang had made a promise to her not to remarry, so why did she later repent?
There are several reasons: first, after Lady Wu's death, she was replaced by the housekeeper of the great aunt Mrs. Peng, but she was only twenty-six or seven years old at the time, younger than the sons born to Lady Wu; second, Feng Guozhang was already a local official, and the social contacts of the internal relatives also needed a lady of the main room. Therefore, Feng Guozhang married Zhou Zhen as his wife.
Then again, this Mrs. Zhou is really not simple, she is particularly enthusiastic about holding girls' education, not only often visiting girls' schools, but also helping some girls' schools solve the problem of shortage of funds. Under the influence of Madame Zhou, in December 1916, Feng Guozhang proposed the establishment of the National Education Association, taking the lead in setting up a preparatory office in Nanjing, and gradually spread to the whole country. With such a sage, Feng Guozhang was happy, and he also narrowed the distance with Yuan Shikai.
However, Zhou And Feng Guozhang died less than four years after living without children. When she died, Feng Guozhang had already served as the acting president, so her funeral was very solemn, and it can be said that Lady Zhou was born at the right time and died at the same time.
