"You go, I also go, we break up here..." This is the last poem published by Xu Zhimo before he died, everyone knows who "you" and "I" are, but the rolling red dust has long pushed them to the banks of the Kang River, even though Xu Zhimo wants to be the water and grass in the river, but Lin Huiyin is more yearning for the April day in the world, this time the trick in the poem is only Xu Zhimo's unilateral trick, and Lin Huiyin has already excluded him early.
The root of everything is naturally still in Xu Zhimo, of course, people who pity him will feel that he is also a victim of arranged marriage, at first in 1915, he and Zhang Youyi's marriage, is not willing, because Zhang Youyi is a countryman, not the strange woman in his heart, after marriage he did not fulfill his obligations, but immediately went out to study, and then was forced to obey his parents' wish to hold their grandchildren.
In 1918, Zhang Youyi gave birth to Xu Jikai for him, Xu Zhimo did not care to go abroad, and later at the urging of Zhang Youyi's brother, he took Zhang Youyi to his side, but at that time he was very impatient in order to pursue Lin Huiyin, Zhang Youyi was pregnant with the second child and let her beat it, Zhang Youyi did not give up, hid in Berlin to give birth to little Peter, but was also forced by Xu Zhimo to sign a divorce agreement, and later because of more than one tortuous time to give birth, Peter died early in 1925.
In June 1924, lin Huiyin decided to go to the United States with Liang Sicheng to study architecture after opening the Crescent Poetry Club with him, it is difficult to say that Xu Zhimo did not feel surprised, because he may have always thought that Lin Huiyin would develop in literature, Lin Huiyin did show a love for new poetry, but in fact, before she met Xu Zhimo, she had already had the idea of learning architecture.
So in 1928, it was really normal to choose to marry Liang Sicheng, the two young plum bamboo horses, from childhood to know the roots, and Liang Sicheng did not have any affair, gentle and patient with her, during the period of study in the United States, they were dependent on each other, the relationship was close, after marriage for many years, they were also as loving as ever, and for the common ideal, it can be said that no matter in which aspect, they have carved each other in their bones, and later gave birth to a pair of children, and will retain such deep love.
Although the lives of these two people have many twists and turns, but in the end there are still people who will continue their thoughts and spirits, so that they will not evaporate in the vast world, of course, in fact, later Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin and his wife still have contacts, Xu Zhimo also saw Lin Huiyin the day before his death, so at that time their relationship is still normal, but in the end it is not enough to resist time, so gradually the two families have no intersection, but they can never imagine that they can still see the day when their descendants are in the same frame.
It was an interview with CCTV's CGTN English channel, and the interview specifically found Lin Huiyin's great-granddaughter Liang Zhouyang, and Xu Zhimo's great-granddaughter Xu Wenci, which was an unprecedented sight, never before, and no longer in the future, so it is rare.
Liang Zhouyang was born in 1983, is the daughter of Liang Congzhi's son Liang Jian, in fact, it is accurately called Zhou Yang, because after Liang Congjie and Zhou Rumei divorced, Liang Jian changed his name to Zhou Zhibing, so Zhou Yang naturally has the surname Zhou, but this is not important, the important thing is to see that Liang Zhouyang also has the same as his great-grandmother Lin Huiyin, a beautiful and beautiful face, when laughing at a certain angle there is still a bit like Lin Huiyin.
And her life is not ordinary, she moved to the United States from a young age, so she became an ambassador for cultural exchanges between China and the West, and she is also committed to Chinese rural education, once stationed in Shanxi in 2008, because of her father's relationship, she also dabbled in cultural relics protection, and because of the university study of international trade, she also dabbled in the financial world, assisted the Secretary-General of the United Nations in 2011 to conduct a series of trainings, or is now a famous celebrity in Shanghai, and now she is the female president of the Liang family.
Xu Wenci is the daughter of Xu Jikai's son Xu Shanzeng, her appearance is more atmospheric, in some ways like Zhang Youyi, really the power of genes, and she is also a high-achieving student, Yale University's doctor of engineering, but later became a filmmaker, engaged in some behind-the-scenes work, did not have any achievements in literature like great-grandfather Xu Zhimo, but at least in aesthetics or a little side.
However, she is relatively low-key and mysterious, this is because Xu Zhimo's only son Xu Jikai did not mention much about his father in his life, and he stayed in the United States after 1947, reading economics and civil engineering, and his father was not at all on the side, if it were not for the American Chinese newspaper "World Weekly" to interview him, many people may not know where he is, and then his son Xu Shan zeng also inherited the mantle of industry and commerce, and this family has no trace in the literary world.
This interview is mainly to understand their situation, but more to remember that heavy years, and when asked about the poems they want to read, the choice between the two of them is surprising, Liang Zhouyang chose Xu Zhimo's "I don't know in which direction the wind blows", which is his poem created in 1928, when he was already with Lu Xiaoman, and Lin Liang had just married.
Xu Wenci chose Lin Huiyin's "Don't Lose", which is her poem written in 1932, when Xu Zhimo died young in 1931, Lin Huiyin was deeply touched and shocked, not only wrote a long eulogy, the next year it was unforgettable, wrote this long poem to remember and mourn him, a sentence "You still have to believe, there is that echo in the valley" is very subtle, but also beautiful and clever, it seems to tell Xu Zhimo thousands of people who choose to forget, and she remembers him.
And their descendants choose to cross-read in this way, as if to recreate that period of time in front of their eyes, as if it is some kind of "ice release".
In addition to the appearance of Liang Zhouyang and Xu Wenci, a beautiful atmosphere, the style is very different, the two people's text temperament is also completely different, Liang Zhouyang's words and appearance are as delicate and clean and flowing, Xu Wenci's words are very real at a glance, it can be seen that the two have different directions of emphasis on culture and education. But no matter what, this is a special gift for people who like Lin Huiyin and Xu Zhimo.
