Zhang Mojun was a famous democratic revolutionary, pioneer and educator of the women's movement during the Republic of China period, she was also a calligrapher (especially good at Zhangcao) and a talented female writer (author of the "Collection of Great Condensation Halls", etc.), and one of the "Four Great Female Poets of the Republic of China" with the same name as Lü Bicheng, and was known as "the strongest brain of the Republic of China".
What is less known is that Zhang Mojun's marriage is also full of legends, leaving three husbands and wives to achieve the good story of "the most cattle sister-brother love in the Republic of China".
Born in 1884 in Xiangxiang, Hunan Province, Zhang Mojun was able to write poetry and good writing, and at the age of 8 she wrote "Tianzu Yin", which was praised by the locals as a "prodigy".
In 1901, zhang Mojun, who was studying at the age of 18, entered the Jinling Yangzheng Girls' School, and interestingly, she was not only a student, but also served as a teacher of literature and history in the school's small class. The provost of the school was her mother, He Yisheng, that is, she and her mother became colleagues.
More interestingly, a few years later she became a revolutionary comrade with her father, Zhang Tongdian, who joined the League at the same time in 1906. Since then, Zhang Mojun and Qiu Jin have become close friends.
In 1912, Zhang Mojun served as the director of the Clerical Department of the Shanghai Communications Department of the League. At this time, she was 28 years old, even if she was now an elderly young woman, her parents repeatedly urged her to marry, but she was not in a hurry, in fact, she already had a heart, and her sweetheart was her close friend Jiang Zuobin, but she did not confess for a long time.
One day, she took Jiang Zuobin home and asked her mother to see the "future son-in-law" as well. Unexpectedly, Jiang Zuobin and her third sister Zhang Shujia fell in love with each other at first sight. Zhang Mu did not know the inside story, strongly supported, and later really married. In this way, Zhang Mojun "self-defeated", and her sweetheart actually became a brother-in-law, this experience made her miserable, and she vowed not to marry for life in a huff.
Interestingly, zhang Mojun's one officer named Shao Yuanchong, although he was 6 years younger than Zhang, was very happy to learn that Zhang Mojun had lost love, because he had a crush on this beautiful and talented female boss for a long time.
Shao Yuanchong immediately made various hints to Zhang, but Zhang Mojun did not say anything at all. Shao Yuanchong was anxious, simply confessed directly, Zhang Moqun was still unmoved, in order to let Shao Yuanchong cut off this thought, he said: "I am not a general who does not marry, you are not suitable!" ”
Her original intention was to make this little brother retreat, but she did not expect to stimulate Shao Yuanchong's ambition. He resolutely resigned from the civilian job of the League and became a soldier, aiming to become a general at an early date.
The so-called aspirants, things can be accomplished. In 1915, Shao Yuanchong joined Ju Zheng and became his secretary general, and later he was appointed as the commander of the garrison of the Northeast Army of the "Yuan Army", and indeed became a general on the Weizhen side.
The following year, after the end of the war against Yuan, Shao Yuanchong felt that the time was right, so he asked someone to propose to Zhang Mojun. Zhang Mojun was also taken aback at that time, she couldn't imagine that Shao Yuanchong was so obsessed with herself, naturally she was very moved, and then... Again, Shao Xiaodi was rejected. This time, her reason was: times have changed, and now I only marry international students.
Shao Yuanchong was very disappointed after hearing this, but he was already on a mission at this time, and it was impossible to really unload his military uniform and go abroad to study according to the standards set by Zhang Moqun, so he had to give up for the time being.
At that time, there were already many international students returning from overseas in Beijing and Shanghai, and many international students were eager to try it when they heard Zhang Mojun's saying that "non-international students do not marry". This made Zhang Mojun overwhelmed. Overwhelmed, she simply reported a higher standard for choosing a son-in-law: "I must be a scholar who has already written, and it is my confidant, before I am willing to marry!" ”
At this time, although Zhang Mojun is already a 32-year-old "leftover woman", she is undoubtedly a career-oriented woman and does not yearn for married life. After she announced the criteria for choosing a son-in-law for the third time, she really scared away many admirers, and she was happy and quiet, and devoted herself to her work.
So did Shao Yuanchong really stop thinking about Zhang Mojun? Never.
After proposing to Zhang, Shao Yuanchong followed Sun Yat-sen to concentrate on the revolution, became his confidential secretary in 1917, and two years later was sent abroad by Sun Yat-sen. Taking this opportunity, Shao Yuanchong traveled widely in Europe and the United States, opened his eyes, and urgently felt the need to improve himself. As a result, he successively entered two well-known universities in the United States for further study.
In January 1924, Shao Yuanchong returned to China and met his friend Huang Jilu, who told him: "Miss Zhang Mojun, whom you were pursuing so hard, is still alone, do you still have that meaning for her now?" ”
Shao Yuanchong said: "Didn't Miss Zhang have the idea of becoming a celibacy?" She also said that non-scholars and confidants do not marry, and I am still far from her standards! Besides, she and I haven't been in touch for over 8 years. ”
Huang Jilu said, "You have confessed to her twice, is it still worse than this time?" ”
Shao Yuanchong suddenly realized, and immediately, in accordance with Huang Jilu's suggestion, sent a book he had written to Zhang Mojun, attaching a letter to the book, only talking about old friendships and not mentioning private feelings, so as to "throw stones and ask for directions."
After Zhang Mojun received Shao Yuanchong's letters and letters, she was greatly shocked, she could not imagine that this little brother who had been rejected by herself many times was not only famous in the world, but also full of concern for herself between the lines. Coupled with the fact that she was already an "elderly leftover woman" at this time, and often had a sense of loss that was sad and sad, and her red face had passed away, Shao's letter really made her feel very emotional.
Shao Yuanchong's infatuation thus melted the iceberg in Zhang Mojun's heart, and the two of them continued to write letters and letters from then on, and later became each other's vows and mountain alliances, and they were extremely entangled.
In September 1925, Shao and Zhang held a grand wedding ceremony at the Cangzhou Hotel in Shanghai, which attracted everyone's attention and even became the headline of major newspapers in Shanghai that day.
There are two reasons why their wedding is widely concerned: first, because Shao and Zhang both held important positions in the Kuomintang government, especially Shao Yuanchong was one of the witnesses of Sun Yat-sen's will at the time of sun yat-sen's death, and Zhang Mojun was already a well-known educator in China at that time; The second reason is that the couple is a typical pair of "sister-brother love", and although Zhang Mojun, the bride, is newly married, she is already 41 years old.
However, their marriage lasted only 11 years. After the outbreak of the "Xi'an Incident" in 1936, Shao Yuanchong jumped out of the window of the Xijing Hotel where he was staying to hide, but unfortunately was shot and killed by soldiers. After Zhang Mojun heard this bad news, he was in pain and fainted on the spot.
After losing her beloved husband, she vowed not to marry again. In 1949, Zhang Mojun was coerced to go to Taiwan, and has been alone, living in simplicity, and entertaining himself only with poetry. In 1965, the legendary woman died of stomach cancer in Taipei at the age of 81.
