Mentioning the four words of arranged marriage, a demonic wind of feudal remnants swept over the face. As part of the worst part of the feudal idea of marriage and love, arranged marriage can be described as a feudal era that lasted for the entire 2000 years. Even after the fall of the qing dynasty, the last feudal dynasty, in 1912, and even with the influx of various new ideas of love in the West, it was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese people.
However, the new intellectuals and young people at that time were very resistant to arranged marriages. Lu Xun was one, and his first wife, Juan, was the product of an arranged marriage. However, Lu Xun and her only had the name of husband and wife in their lives, and there was no fact of husband and wife, and it also became an indelible scar in Lu Xun's life. Another was Hu Shi, who was in a slightly better condition than Lu Xun.
Hu Shi's original match was named Jiang Dongxiu, which was also arranged by Hu Shi's parents without consent, although Hu Shi was also resistant to everything, but in the end the two actually sparked a spark, which can also be regarded as a white head to old age, and love has lived a lifetime. And today I want to tell you another one, his arranged marriage is more legendary than Lu Xun and Hu Shi, what is the matter, you readers and continue to look down.
First of all, I would like to introduce this protagonist, whose name is Liu Bannong, a pioneer in the new cultural movement, one of the important forces that promoted the reform of the literary language to the vernacular language, and also a famous linguist and literary scholar in modern China. Such an intellectual, of course, would not accept any arranged marriage.
However, fate played a joke on him. When he was 17 years old, his mother arranged a family affair for him, the woman's name was Zhu Hui, from Liu Bannong's mother's mother's side, which was a fairly conservative traditional woman, or the kind of small foot. Liu Bannong, of course, did not want to hear it, and did not even see anyone, so he righteously rejected the marriage.
I thought I could escape, but I didn't expect that 2 years later, Liu Bannong's mother was critically ill, and according to the tradition of Liu Bannong's hometown in Jiangsu, he had to marry immediately for his mother ChongXi. Therefore, he went to see Zhu Hui with a hard scalp.
On this day, Liu Bannong came to his grandmother's house very early, and from her grandmother's mouth, Liu Bannong learned that Zhu Hui would go to the well in front of the nunnery every day to fetch water. Out of curiosity, he went early and secretly ambushed zhu Hui to observe Zhu Hui's appearance. After a while, Zhu Hui walked over with a flat shoulder and swayed, Liu Bannong didn't care if he didn't look at it, he almost saw his eyeballs popping up. The woman in front of me is simply like a beautiful flower.
Liu Bannong was deeply fascinated by Zhu Hui's beauty, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he fell in love at first sight. He hurriedly came out of the hiding place and pulled Zhu Hui to talk, and the first time the two met, it was quite pleasant.
After returning home, Liu Bannong immediately began to prepare for the marriage and decided to marry Zhu Hui, at the same time, in order to let Zhu Hui out of the traditional feudalism, he directly said to his parents-in-law, "The second elder will not wrap my fiancée's feet in the future." He also said affectionately to Zhu Hui, "Anyway, in the future, you will be my wife, and don't wrap your little feet and worry about not being able to marry out, in my place, you will spread your feet generously and leave." ”
Liu Bannong's words made Zhu Hui feel a warm feeling in his heart. Prove that he cares about himself, and he is glad that although he was arranged for marriage, he met a good man.
Unfortunately, Liu Bannong's rush to happiness this time did not save his mother's life. Not long after, his mother died, but Liu Bannong harvested the love of his life, perhaps this is also his mother's arrangement.
After marriage, the two lived quite lovingly and harmoniously, Zhu Hui also gave birth to 3 daughters to Liu Bannong, for a new young man like Liu Bannong, giving birth to a boy and a girl will not affect his love for Zhu Hui. Such a feudal arranged marriage actually lived out the style of free love, which is unique in the Republic of China, and also makes Liu Bannong's marriage more legendary.
Unfortunately, in 1934, Liu Bannong went to Mongolia to investigate the homestay, was bitten by lice on the way, infected with return fever, and finally died in July of the same year, after all, he failed to grow old with Zhu Huibai, which is also a major regret in the love of the Republic of China.
