"To read a book, you must have four arrivals: one is to the eye, the second is the mouth, the third is the heart, and the fourth is the hand." Such familiar words are no stranger to the people who say them, and this is hu shi, as a famous writer, thinker and educator in modern China, who has given people many precious spiritual wealth and occupies a certain position in people's hearts.
It can be said that Hu Shi's life is still full of various colors, creating a number of masterpieces, and is still read by people today.
However, although Hu Shi's body shines with light, he does not know that behind him is a desolate situation, a daughter died early, a son killed himself, the 65-year-old grandson wandered in the United States, and he has not yet married, which is really miserable and miserable.
In all kinds of worlds, in a long life, no one knows what the next chocolate will taste like. Whether it is himself or others, just like the famous Hu Shi, he cannot influence the lives and destinies of his descendants, even his children can only be arranged by time.
In fact, no one expected that the story of Hu Shi's descendants would be so lamentable and emotional, as if the dawn of fate was circling around them. The most traditional Chinese concept of "good has good rewards, evil has evil rewards" and "accumulation of good deeds", Hu Shi has made great contributions to the progress of Chinese society, promoted the new cultural movement, served as the president of Peking University, and promoted a series of teaching reforms at Peking University.
Academically, he also proposed a method of "bold hypothesis and careful verification". According to common sense, he still accumulated a lot of virtue, but his children and even grandchildren never lived their own lives.
The birth of two sons and a daughter
Hu Shi was born in the seventeenth year of Guangxu, and from an early age, he entered a private school, began to learn yaya language, and also began his reading career. Entering a new public school in China, studying in the United States, studying at Cornell University, and then studying philosophy in the Philosophy Department of Columbia University, this is the trajectory of Hu Shi's life in his youth. Next, when he was making great plans, with a "Discussion on Literary Reform", he appeared brilliant in "New Youth" and entered the public's field of vision.
In 1917, Hu Shi passed the final examination for a doctorate in philosophy and chose to return to China to work as a professor at Peking University. At this time, he still had one thing in mind, he was engaged to Jiang Dongxiu of a famous and prestigious family in the early years, and one of the reasons for returning to China was to fulfill the agreement, and the two completed the marriage event.
For this marriage, it became a part of the anecdotes of the Republic of China, after all, it was only the so-called doll parents, which was an agreement between adults, and if the younger generations did not want to, they could also dissolve it and choose another party.
However, Hu Shi ignored the persuasion of everyone and resolutely married Jiang Dongxiu. There is a basis for why this is done. On the one hand, he is hindered by traditional ideas, which is the moral self-discipline that should be observed, and he is also a high-level intellectual in people's eyes.
The other side is the main reason, Hu Shi studied abroad, but there is still an old mother at home to take care of, Jiang Dongxiu played the role of supporting his mother, for many years, has been doing his best to serve his mother, this kindness is Hu Shi is very grateful. Therefore, he insisted on marrying Jiang Dongxiu, to a greater extent, for the sake of filial piety, and after marriage, he also loved her, and was obedient.
Many years later, Jiang Dongxiu gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Hu Shi, who melted and dissipated for a while and enjoyed the joy of heaven. At this time, Hu Shi was immersed in a state of happiness, his reputation on the outside soared, and his wife and children were obedient inside, and it can be said that his life had no shortcomings at this time.
The unsafe affairs of children
Sure enough, happiness has a time limit, although it is when people cherish it, it will not last long. Hu Shi was very satisfied with his family, and the lively and interesting children were his greatest comfort, and he developed strong feelings with his children.
Hu Shi was even more fond of his daughter, and from her birth she was Hu Shi's heart, but in the fifth year, the god of death snatched his daughter from Hu Shi's hands - a premature death. For a while, Hu Shi was difficult to accept, his life was shrouded in gloom, and he felt deeply remorseful, believing that it was his fault. This incident had left a scar on his heart, but fortunately he still had a lovely son, which may be the pillar of his spirit.
In the eyes of us ordinary people, it is a matter of high probability that there must be a father and a son, whether it is in ability or in the trajectory of life. Hu Shi is undoubtedly particularly excellent, this is a fact that the world has tested, and it is also an indisputable fact, but his son appeared to be talented when he was born.
For example, his eldest son, called Hu Zuwang, is exquisite behind the name, and the word "Zuwang" is intended to mourn the death of his parents, which shows that Hu Shi is full of expectations for his son.
However, contrary to his wishes, in the process of growing up, Hu Zuwang first did not have the poetry and books in his belly like his father Hu Shi, and his literary style was remarkable; second, he did not have the boldness and self-confidence of Hu Shi, and did not have the responsibility of "a soldier cannot fail to carry out his perseverance, and the task is heavy and the road is long". From Jiang Dongxiu's point of view, this may be a normal trend, because Jiang Dongxiu is not a high cultural accomplishment that we think, and she is just an ordinary "village girl".
Although Hu Shi was an excellent talent, he was busy with official duties, academics, and neglect to teach his children for a long time. Although Hu Zuwang later became an engineer, the high expectations given to him by the world were far from the same, and the people around him also regretted his development.
Hu Shi's second son is named Hu Sishe, the name is also from his mentor in Columbia University - John Dewey's name, compared to the eldest son, the growth of the second son Hu Sishe is more surprising, his wayward arrogance is better than his eldest brother, since childhood there is a mood of disgust with school, but also developed a rebellious, not disciplined by others personality, even if it is the family persuasion, he is also oil and salt, soft and hard do not eat, will not consider the feelings of the family.
Although after adulthood, I also go my own way and do not think of making progress. Unfortunately, when Hu Sishe was thirty-six years old, he chose to take his own life, end his living life with a rope, bid farewell to the world, and bid farewell to Hu Shi. Undoubtedly, such an unsafe thing was also a great blow to anyone, and Hu Shi's soul was severely damaged.
A grandson with a disability
In the eyes of the world, in addition to his two sons and one daughter, Hu Shi also has a grandson, the only bloodline of his eldest son, named Hu Fu. Since none of his children could meet his expectations, Hu Shi pinned his hopes on Hu Fu's body.
However, fate is to like to tease people, Hu Fu was born shortly after suffering from polio, which is another mental beating for Hu Shi, Hu Shi no longer does a high demand for his only grandson, because for Hu Fu is a kind of harsh and torture, he can only play a benevolent grandfather image, let Hu Fu grow and develop freely.
Unfortunately, when Hu Fu was seven years old, Hu Shi passed away, and Hu Fu could only say goodbye to his grandfather who loved him.
Later, Hu Fu went to live in the United States and became a project leader in a company in the United States, but he did not learn much from Hu Shi, let alone from Literature.
So far, Hu Fu is 65 years old, but he is still single, no children, but with his mother wandering in the United States, Hu Fu has deep feelings for his grandfather, but this feeling is buried in the heart and does not want to talk about it.
brief summary:
Hu Shi's descendants have not been able to "die a good death", which may be something that many people have not thought of. Whether it is Hu Shi's daughter, daughter, or even grandson, the rope of his fate seems to be tightly strangling them, which is really "desolate without words".
Behind Hu Shi is the desolation in the eyes of the world, and the throat of fate is not something that anyone can hold. In our view, we need to enjoy the current time well, no matter what wind and rain, we are walking on the road of life, not to escape, face the reality, cherish the present.
