Hello, everyone, Xiaobian and everyone have met again, today is another day full of vitality, what have you done? After a hard day, it is also time to take a break and see what Xiaobian will share with you today?
When it comes to the love of the Republic of China, almost everyone can tell the story of Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin, Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng. But few people have noticed that Lu Xiaoman also had an ex-husband, and this ex-husband also had a lamentable relationship with her. Just because this ex-husband is not a person in the cultural circle, his story sinks under the legend of Xu Lu.
Lu Xiaoman's ex-husband was named Wang Geng and was a soldier. Lu Xiaoman is also a well-known family, her father Lu Ding graduated from Waseda University in Japan, and is a senior disciple of The Famous Japanese Minister Ito Hirobumi. After returning to China, he became the director of taxation and founded the China Savings Bank. The Lu family has given birth to 9 children, only one lu Xiaoman survived, so he was pampered from an early age.
When Lu Xiaoman was 20 years old, Lu Ding picked a dragon-riding son-in-law for his daughter. This person was Wang Geng, who was known as the "first marshal, the first talented, and the first to have the means" among the Chinese soldiers at that time. Wang Geng graduated from Tsinghua University, studied at the United States Military Academy at West Point, and was a classmate of Eisenhower. At this time, he was already a major in the army, and his future was immeasurable. Lu Xiaoman had known Wang Geng for less than a month, and he flashed his marriage. In 1922, Lu Xiaoman and Wang Geng held a lavish wedding, "the ceremony was so great that it caused a sensation in Beijing". Among the nine female concubines were Cao Rulin's daughter, Zhang Zongxiang's daughter, Ye Gongqiu's daughter, and several British ladies. However, the life of Lu Xiaoman and Wang Geng after marriage is very disharmonious, and the personality difference between the two people is too great.
Wang Geng is a workaholic, determined to get up early and go to bed early, working six days a week. I don't like to go to parties. Lu Xiaoman slept late and got up late every day, and every day he ate, drank, played cards, and danced with the ladies and ladies until he came home late. Wang Geng said that she said one or two sentences, and the wayward little Man lost his temper and said a lot of harsh and ugly words. After such a long time, the relationship between husband and wife is naturally not good. Like Xu Zhimo, Wang Geng was a disciple of Liang Qichao and both joined the Crescent Moon Society. At that time, there were many activities in the Crescent Moon Society, and Xu Zhimo, Hu Shi, Wang Geng and his wife often played together, and soon became very familiar with each other.
Xu Zhimo became a regular visitor to the Wang family, and as long as he was happy, he would come to the door anytime and anywhere. Workaholic Wang Geng didn't even have time to spend time with his wife, where there was time to accompany him. The nervous husband grinned and said, "Shima, I'm busy, ask Xiao Man to accompany you to play!" Or say to Xiao Man, who wants to go out and play, "I don't have time, let Shima accompany you to play!" In this way, Lu Xiaoman and Xu Zhimo had a lot of opportunities to get along alone. They toured the Great Wall and the overpass together, went to the True Light Theater To watch the play, went to the Yuxuan to drink tea, went to the West Mountain to see the autumn leaves... Soon a romance took place. During that time, Xu Lu and Xu Lu wrote a large number of passionate love letters to each other.
The dull Wang Geng found out about this from the love letter. One day, Xu Zhimo's father came to see Xu Zhimo with Wang Geng. At that time, Xu Gang received a letter from Ling Shuhua, and Xu's father also knew Ling. Xu showed him Ling Shuhua's letter, and Wang Geng also smiled and giggled next to him, and his face changed as he looked at it. Xu Zhimo felt that it was not right, and when he looked at it, he found that he had taken the wrong letter and handed over the letter written by Lu Xiaoman to himself as Ling Shuhua's. Wang Geng, who learned of the private affair, was angry, and he publicly rebuked Lu Xiaoman, and the two had a big fight.
Wang Geng sent Lu Xiaoman back to his mother's house in Beijing and let her mother take care of her. He went to Nanjing to take up a post. After that, he wrote a letter to Lu Xiaoman: "If you remember the love of husband and wife, immediately go south to reunite, and if you belong elsewhere, you will never stop it." This tough attitude simply pushed Lu Xiaoman to Xu Zhimo's side. Soon after, under the entrustment of Xu Zhimo, Liu Haisu, as an intermediary, set up a table for Wang Geng to set up a "Hongmen Banquet", and he invited Xu Zhimo, Lu Xiaoman's mother and daughter, Wang Geng and Hu Shi, and Lu Xiaoman's girlfriend Tang Ying to talk about their views on marriage freedom at the table. Wang Geng was a wise man, and he heard the meaning of his words. Two months later, he agreed to divorce Lu Xiaoman, and he said to Lu Xiaoman: "I love you, but I usually don't care enough about you, this is determined by my personality, you and Shima are artistic figures, I wish you and Shima happiness in the future."
After completing the divorce procedures, he said to Xu Zhimo: "We are all intellectuals, even though I divorced Xiao Man, I did not have any prejudices in my heart; but you must be consistent with her after that, if you are half-hearted and give me, I will definitely use fierce means to oppose." When Xu Lu got married, Wang Geng also gave a congratulatory gift with great grace. Wang Geng never remarried for the rest of his life, and in 1942, at the age of 47, he died of illness in Cairo, Egypt, while abroad with a military delegation.
