Lushan Life and Death Love of the Republic of China: "Pen Talk" for six years, see a flash marriage, the God of Love only gave them three months. There is a kind of love in the Republic of China called "pen talk": "pen love" for six years, one side flash marriage, three months after marriage tragedy.
No matter what era, love is an eternal subject for young people to seek. In the era without telephone and the Internet, communication between people mainly relies on paper and pencil, and "pen talk" is carried out through letters. During the Republic of China period, there were not a few lovers who became dependents because of "pen talks". The love between modern writer and poet Jiang Guangci and progressive young woman Song Ruoyu is the most classic scene.
Jiang Guangci was born in 1901 at the age of 7, and entered Gushi County, Henan Province, at the age of 11, Chen Linzi Zhicheng High School in Gushi County, Henan Province, and was admitted to Gushi Middle School after graduation. During his studies at Gushi Middle School, he was extremely dissatisfied with the principal's bullying of poor students, and beat the principal fiercely, so he was expelled and transferred to Wuhu No. 5 Middle School in Anhui Province to continue his studies. Jiang Guangci has excellent academic performance and outstanding extracurricular organizational skills, and was elected as the vice president of the student government association of the school. In addition to studying and organizing activities, he began to write literature.
At this time, at the Henan Provincial No. 2 Middle School in Kaifeng, Henan, the progressive young students headed by Cao Jinghua formed the Youth Society and founded the journal "Youth". After Jiang Guangci learned of this news, he actively submitted articles to Youth, and after his "On Li Chao's Biography" and "My Opinion on Suicide" were published in Youth magazine, they deeply attracted the only female member of the association, Song Ruoyu. In the early summer of 1920, full of reverence, she wrote a long letter to Jiang Guangci, who was far away in Wuhu, Anhui Province, expressing her admiration for Jiang Guangci's talent. Unexpectedly, she quickly received a reply from Jiang Guangci, which opened up a six-year correspondence between the two.
Song Ruoyu was two years younger than Jiang Guangci, born in the countryside of Ru County, Henan Province, and because of his poor family, he went to Kaifeng with his parents when he was a teenager. Song Ruoyu was originally nine brothers and sisters, but eight of them died first. In order to take good care of Song Ruoyu, the "only adopted daughter", her parents worked hard to provide her with hard work, hoping that she could have a good life in the future. Song Ruoyu studied at the First Women's Normal School in Henan Province, and she had a teacher, Ding Mingde, who was a close friend of Qiu Jin and had a progressive mind, which had a great influence on Song Ruoyu. Therefore, Song Ruoyu later actively participated in the Youth Association of the Provincial No. 2 Middle School and became the only woman in the Association, and the secret contact point of the Youth Association was located in her home. Therefore, she had the opportunity to contact the journal of the association, "Youth", and it was precisely because of "Youth" magazine that she got acquainted with Jiang Guangci, a young writer who was far away in Anhui.
Shortly after receiving Song Ruoyu's letter, Jiang Guangci and Cao Jinghua met in Shanghai, and he asked Cao Jinghua in detail about Song Ruoyu's situation. Since then, his heart has left an important role for Song Ruoyu. Subsequently, he and Cao entered the "Foreign Chinese Society" to learn Russian, and soon after, they were sent to Moscow to study
Song Ruoyu actively participated in student activities when she was a female teacher, organized the "Women's Comrades Association", published the semi-monthly magazine "Feminist Rights", so she was expelled from the school, and then admitted to the Department of Education of Nanjing Southeast University, because of the poverty of the family, the tuition fee was not settled, coupled with the poor life, contracted lung disease, and only read for two years before taking a break from school. Through the introduction of a friend, she found a teaching position in Xinyang No. 2 Middle School and began her career as a teacher.
In 1924, Jiang Guangci returned to China from studying and teaching at Shanghai University. As soon as he returned to China, he inquired about Song Ruoyu's recent situation. Finally, he sent the interrupted letter to Song Ruoyu in Xinyang. With frequent correspondence, their feelings became increasingly intense.
In mid-April 1925, Jiang Guangci went to work in the Northern Bureau, often traveling between Beijing and Zhangjiakou. Jiang Guangci took Song Ruoyu's photo with him and took it out to see it as soon as he had time, and his desire to meet became stronger and stronger. He wanted to end this kind of suffering that was difficult to meet between the two places, so after that, almost every letter urged Song Ruoyu to enter Beijing, and the love between the two places became stronger day by day.
In the summer of 1925, Song Ruoyu decided to go to Beijing to meet her lover of six years. A suit straight, a cheongsam plus body, on the platform, they recognized each other almost at the same time... They only met once for a short time, because Jiang Guangci was on official business, he had to rush to Zhangjiakou, and he was in a hurry to meet for six years, and he was in a hurry to go, how could he not lose his soul!
On July 28, Song Ruoyu, who was sick with longing, sent a text message to Jiang Guangci, who had already gone to Zhangjiakou: "The hotel is holding goodbye, and it is like losing!" ...... Confused for days, I don't know why! ”
Just when the two were talking about marriage, they killed a mother-in-law halfway. Song Ruoyu's mother was satisfied with Jiang Guangci herself, but opposed them to marry in a hurry, because she had heard that Jiang Guangci had been engaged in her hometown, and this matter was not clear, and she was unwilling to marry her daughter casually.
It turned out that when Jiang Guangci was studying, the Wang family of the neighboring village took a fancy to him and proposed to him, and Jiang Guangci's parents agreed, but Jiang Guangci was not satisfied, and he never returned home to avoid marriage. Later, the Jiang family had to marry the betrothed unmarried daughter-in-law as a daughter, and paid a huge dowry for this.
After Song Ruoyu and her mother returned to Kaifeng, rumors about them spread everywhere, Song Ruoyu did not care, but her parents blindly accused her, and she was even more sad. The bitterness in her heart could only be confided in her lover in the distance, and soon, she received a reply from Jiang Guangci——
Yu Mei ru hold:
My sister has suffered from many rumors and pains for the sake of loving me, which really disturbs me deeply! Although my sister has suffered from many rumors and pains, she still does not reduce her love for me, and Si Cheng has made me extremely happy, and I am grateful for it.
The Beijing meeting, recounting the feelings of lovesickness for several years, and consolidating the love of the spirit, is sincerely a happy event in this life. I know that the storm is easy to rise, rumors are coming out, until my sister feels the pain of the nameless, ask myself, I really bear the blame, When I am in the north of Saibei, I hate that I can't immediately give birth to wings to my sister, please forgive my sister for my sins, and I give my sister spiritual comfort.
…… ……
My sister's suffering is all for me, and Si Cheng is the saddest thing for me! How will I comfort my sister? Lately, when I think about what happened to us, I am overwhelmed by sighs. I was a wandering poet who had long ignored my family; But what about my sister? What's so fun about life? There are also people interfering in love, the so-called personal freedom, the so-called human rights? My sister! I will never succumb to the environment!
treasure! treasure!
Chivalrous
August 13 at 10 p.m
[Author's Note: Jiang Guangci, formerly known as Jiang Ruheng), also known as Jiang Guangchi, Jiang Xiasheng, the name of the chivalrous monk. 】
After receiving a reply from Jiang Guangci, Song Ruoyu left Kaifeng for Xinyang, and then transferred to Nanjing to resume his studies. At this time, Jiang Guangci had returned to Shanghai University to teach, and the distance between Shanghai and Nanjing was not too far away, so Jiang Guangci often found an opportunity to go to Nanjing to meet with [Song Ruoyu], and the feelings between the two continued to heat up.
In January 1926, Song Ruoyu returned to Kaifeng from Nanjing for the New Year, and once he fell ill, Jiang immediately went to visit, and after treatment, he had made a preliminary recovery. Jiang Guangci, however, tried to persuade Song to retire to Shanghai to recuperate, and he would have time to take care of her. At that time, Song Ruoyu's mother asked him: "Lung disease can be contagious, aren't you afraid?" Jiang Guangci replied: "Husband and wife are one, and it is also a kind of happiness to be able to 'suffer the same disease'." With such a promise, Mother Song no longer insisted, only to let go of her daughter to Jiang Guangci.
That time in Shanghai was the happiest time in Song Ruoyu's life, and it was also the most nostalgic day in Jiang Guangci's life. However, the good days did not last long, and only a month after the two married, Song Ruoyu's condition worsened. Jiang Guangci sought medical treatment everywhere, and a famous doctor pointed out: "The lung disease has reached the third stage, and There is no way in Shanghai, only to go to Lushan for recuperation." So the couple rushed to Lushan in the middle of the night.
The quietness of Lushan brought hope to Song Ruoyu, and her condition and mood improved. In order to work and live, Jiang Guangci had to travel back and forth between Shanghai and Lushan, fortunately, at that time, an acquaintance was also hospitalized in Lushan for lung disease, and there was a mutual care.
On August 22, Song Ruoyu wrote a letter to her husband, who had returned to Shanghai, saying that he had no fever in recent days, that he could eat food, that he was ready to go down the mountain until October, that he would find a house with fresh air and a kitchen, that he would prepare to make his own meal after returning to Shanghai, and that he hoped that Jiang Guangci would send a photo to Lushan.
After the time entered October, Song Ruoyu's condition deteriorated again, and she had been feverish, her spirit was very bad, and she could no longer write with a pen.
On November 6, when Jiang Guangci rushed to Lushan Muling Hospital like a spark, Song Ruoyu, who was only 23 years old, had stopped breathing, with too many regrets, and left this world forever.
In the face of the sudden death of his beloved wife, Jiang Guang was overwhelmed with compassion, and in order to commemorate it forever, he named the correspondence between him and Song Ruoyu "Monument" and published it into a book.
On November 6, 1928, the second anniversary of Song Ruoyu's death, Jiang Guangci wrote his bloody and tearful work "The Hatred of Muling":
At the misty peak of Lushan Mountain,
There is a lonely grave,
There lay my her forever
- My unfortunate lover who died early.
Extreme longing and heavy work made Jiang Guangci's illness worse day by day, and finally, on August 31, 1931, only four years after Song Ruoyu's death, Jiang Guangci died of illness due to anxiety and overwork, at the age of 30.
