To love from work is to penetrate the deepest secret - Gibran
preface
In people's inherent thinking, marriage and life and death are the destination, but when people come to the world, marriage and family are not the most important. To live the same life as ordinary people is a disgrace to life.

First, the birth is noble
As a celebrity in the archaeological community, many people know her deeds. There are 243 famous descendants of Zeng Guofan, among whom there is Zeng Zhaoyi, whose reputation was once greater than zeng guofan.
When Zeng Zhaoyi went out to study, China just caught up with the turmoil, and what touched Zeng Zhaoyi was a picture.
A mother was crying on her stomach, surrounded by rubble. Although Zeng Zhaoyi was abroad, he also knew what the situation was in China, but he did not know that China was so tragic. After seeing this picture, Zeng Zhaoyi decided to return to China and give up his studies.
Forty million chinese people are suffering, so what reason can they have to spend their days abroad and not suffer with them?! Under this thought, Zeng Zhaoyi decided to return to China to develop his career.
Because he loves archaeology, plus his major is archaeology, Zeng Zhaoyi continued to develop his archaeology major after returning to China.

Second, marry a career
At that time, China was experiencing Japanese aggression, their iron horses trampled all over China's territory, and Chinese cultural relics and tombs were destroyed, China endured war, people were good sons and daughters to defend their families and defend the country, but in the restoration of cultural relics, there was still something lacking.
In this case, the destruction of cultural relics has been insignificant, Zeng Zhaoyi is a female stream, she can not learn to fight on the battlefield, can only rescue Chinese cultural relics in the rear.
▲ Zeng Zhaoyi rescued cultural relics
After returning to China, Zeng Zhaoyi was heartbroken to see the trampled tombs and the cultural relics that had been treated roughly, and she served as a member of the Central Museum in order to repair cultural relics and protect Chinese culture.
On the battlefield, soldiers fought bloodily to protect Chinese territory; in the rear, Zeng Zhaoyi repaired Chinese cultural relics every minute and every second. When it may be decided that the country is living or dying, it should pay attention to the safety of the country, not the insignificant dead. But in Zeng Zhaoyi's eyes, this is the transmission of China's thousand-year-old culture.
Protecting cultural relics is another way to protect China, and then Zeng Zhaoyi began to travel to Yunnan and other regions to repair tombs and save cultural relics through the knowledge he learned abroad.
▲ Simu Pengding
Among them, the most famous Simu Pengding was rescued by Zeng Zhaoyi before he saw the light of day and brought light to the study of Chinese history.
In addition, sites like Longquan And Malong were excavated by Zeng Zhaoyi, which not only protected and discovered a large number of Chinese tombs, but also protected the cultural relics in them, which is convenient for future research on China's thousand-year history.
During the war, coupled with the aggression of the Western powers, China's cultural relics were either lost in the war, or robbed by Western countries, or stolen and sold by tomb thieves. Because people at that time did not attach importance to cultural relics, the rescue work was also very difficult to do.

Fortunately, China has survived, the war era is gone, and everything in China is on the right track.
However, when Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan, he actually wanted to take away all the Cultural Relics of China, which made Zeng Zhaoyi the first to disagree, wander around, and finally retain a lot of cultural relics, not only that, but also let the cultural relics already in Taiwan return to Chinese mainland.

Third, jump the tower to end life
Zeng Zhaoyi has made great contributions to the protection of cultural relics, and it is Zeng Zhaoyi's efforts that let us see the once beautiful cultural relics and also let us see the history of a thousand years ago.
However, Zeng Zhaoyi, who once said that he endured loneliness and married his career, found that the people around him had changed, Zeng Zhaoyi's family was huge, and he had 13 brothers and sisters, so even if there was no marriage, he also had relatives to accompany him.
However, as her friends and relatives were divided into rightists, one after another was criticized, and even some of their lives and deaths were unknown, which made Zeng Zhaoyi feel lonely, and this loneliness made her have to open the window when she went home, because only in this way could she hear the laughter of others.

There are no friends and relatives, no lovers, no people to talk to, once everyone gathered together is happy, but now there are fewer and fewer people in the world, and the time to get together is getting shorter and shorter.
Through the window, happiness is always there, perhaps in the children's play, in the wife's rebuke, in the parents' education, close the window, loneliness only Zeng Zhaoyi bears, under this blow, Zeng Zhaoyi suffered from depression.
In 1964, Zeng Zhaoyi came out of the sanatorium, looked at the Linggu Temple of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing, decided to climb it alone, and left the coat to the driver, and then jumped off the tower himself and died, and left the driver's clothes, saying "death has nothing to do with the driver."

epilogue
It is difficult to imagine how Zeng Zhaoyi, who had left the relationship with the driver before his death, decided to die, but it is also clear that the feeling of loneliness is torturous, especially watching the lights of wanjia flickering, but none of the lights stay for you.
