In China, people pay great attention to filial piety. Slapping an elder is a rebellious act. And such a scene actually occurred in the shuxiang mendi, which pays the most attention to filial piety.
The protagonist of the story is Liang Sicheng's daughter Liang Zaibing. She slapped her stepmother, Lin Su, hard. What's going on here?
It turned out that Liang Sicheng was lonely after Lin Huiyin's death, and because of his old age and illness, he also needed a person to take care of him, so he chose Lin Su as his partner for the rest of his life.
Although Lin Su's education level is far inferior to that of Lin Huiyin, a talented woman in the Republic of China, she takes care of people meticulously, and at the beginning, Liang Sicheng's children also approved of this marriage. After all, they couldn't bear to see their father standing tall and hanging on top of each other.
But after Lin Su passed the door, he was trying to eliminate Lin Huiyin's shadow, which made Liang Zaibing, who respected his mother, very disgusted. Because of his father's face, Liang Zaibing was unwilling to completely tear his face with her. But the next incident touched Mr. Liang Zaibing's bottom line.
Liang Zaibing went to visit his old couple, only to find that the portrait of his mother hanging in the living room was missing. The painting skills of that portrait were very skilled, and he was loved by Lin Huiyin. Liang Zaibing asked others, and only then did he know that the culprit was not someone else, it was Lin Su.
When Liang Zaibing heard the beginning and end of the matter, he couldn't help but get angry. Liang Zaibing has a straight personality, and he admires his mother very much, and when he sees Lin Su's face, he really can't hold back, and a slap is directly slapped on Lin Su's face. For the next 10 years, the two were like strangers.
Until Liang Sicheng's death, Liang Zaibing's personality was no longer as hot as when he was young, and Lin Su could be regarded as a meritorious person in taking care of Liang Sicheng. So the relationship between the two of them eased somewhat. But the mustard in the heart has not been completely eliminated.
Liang Sicheng also had a son, named Liang Congjie, who was a high-ranking intellectual. He had a pair of children, but none of their surnames were Liang. Why? You know, the traditional Chinese family, the most important thing is nothing more than four characters passed down from generation to generation, and they are very concerned about surnames.
It turned out that Liang Congjie had been married twice, and in the first marriage, his wife was Zhou Rumei, the woman who was the president of Peking University. After marriage they had a son named Liang Jian.
As the old saying goes: the seven-year itch. That is to say, no matter how respectful the couple is, it is difficult to spend seven years. Liang Congjie and his wife divorced because of some things.
From then on, Liang Congjie did not have any sons. And Liang Jian became Liang Sicheng's only grandson. For this grandson, Liang Sicheng can be said to like it very much.
But there are no boys in the Zhou family, which is a difficult thing for a traditional family to accept. Therefore, after obtaining the consent of the Liang family, the Zhou family changed Liang Jian to Zhou Zhibing.
As a person born in Shuxiang Mendi, Zhou Zhibing's life can also be regarded as smooth sailing. Today, he is a famous collector of bronze mirrors in China, and his collection is second to none even in the world.
After Liang Congjie's divorce, another woman came into his life, she was Fang Jing. She and Liang Congjie are green plum bamboo horses.
After getting married, the two had a daughter, and Liang Congjie was overjoyed and named liang fan. From this name, it is not difficult for us to see Mr. Liang Congjie's ardent expectations for his daughter. But later Liang Fan changed his name from his mother's surname to Fang Fan.
The reason is that although there is no official response, according to public speculation, it is likely that because his grandparents are famous literati who moved the Republic of China, Fang Fan's every move will be discussed.
When people talk about Fang Fan, the first thing they mention is not Fang Fan herself, but her grandparents. Fang Fan, who bore such an aura, was overwhelmed, so he simply changed his surname to make his life easier. It can be seen that being born into a famous family is not entirely a good thing.
Fang Fan later became a teacher at Tsinghua university and has rarely appeared in the public eye recently, and some say she went abroad to study. But whether this rumor is true or not, it is not known.
The change of surnames of Fang Fan and Zhou Zhibing may be a rebellious act in the eyes of the traditional feudal scholars, which is an insult to the ancestors' Qingde. But is that really the case?
We know from the above that both Zhou Zhibing and Fang Fan have achieved great achievements and are high-ranking intellectuals who are famous for a while. And they did indeed inherit the bloodlines of Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin. Their achievements are enough to add luster to their grandparents, so why stick to their surnames?
The excessive emphasis on the word surname is, in fact, a remnant of feudal society. Today, when ideas have been popularized, we should adopt an open attitude towards this. As Shakespeare said, roses are not called roses, they are still fragrant.
