In 1942, Henan suffered a great famine that affected 30 million people and killed 3 million people.
In 1942, the most numerous battles to annihilate the Japanese army were basically fought in Hunan.
In 1942, the Sichuan Basin was an important strategic backup area for the mainland.
In 1942, in lanzhitang, an ancestral house in Zhajiang Town, Hengyang County, Hunan Province, an old man living alone recalled the family of Chen Zhiping, a Chinese language teacher who had settled in Beijing, to Hunan in the name of missing his son.
Chen Zhiping was a high-minded and lonely reader, quite a bit of learning, but the situation was confusing, and his life was sloppy and poor.
Chen Zhiping's wife, Yuan Xingshu, was born into a famous family in Beijing, a wealthy family with strict rules.
Yuan Xingshu grew up living the life of a lady who does not come out of the door and does not move out of the second door, and her only hobby is reading.
While studying at Liangji Girls' High School, Yuan Xingshu fell in love with Chen Zhiping, a talented Chinese language teacher who was seven years older than himself.
Yuan Xingshu's family has great respect for the readers, and they also approve of this marriage.
When the two married, one was 20 years old, the other was 27 years old, the situation was turbulent and unstable, but Yuan Xingshu became pregnant immediately after marriage, and she refused to give up her studies for marriage, but lost to the fetus in her belly.
Yuan Xingshu had to take a leave of absence from school to give birth, and she was very unhappy about this, and she quarreled with Chen Zhiping at home every day.
When the fetus was 5 months old, after a fierce quarrel, Yuan Xingshu moved the tire, and her and Chen Zhiping's first child was stillborn.
After losing her child, Yuan Xingshu was given the opportunity to continue her studies, when she was young and did not have long to grieve before returning to the school she liked and was familiar with.
However, the good times did not last long, the "July 7 Incident" occurred, and Yuan Xingshu's studies were forced to be interrupted, at this time, she found herself pregnant again.
Yuan Xingshu sadly found that fate could not be in her own hands at all, and she was pessimistic about the arrival of the child, but she could not control it.
Nine months later, Yuan Xingshu gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, she gave the baby girl a nickname "Phoenix", the baby boy named "Qilin", Chen Zhiping smiled and said, "Oh, the name is not so big!" ”
Yuan Xingshu was willful, "They are the phoenix and the qilin in my life." ”
In order to balance it out, Chen Zhiping gave Fenghuang a very mediocre name, called Chen Zhe.
He thought, auspicious, at this time auspicious is the most important.
This girl named Phoenix, when she was a child, was most often read by people, that is, her name was too big to suppress people, and she didn't look very good.
They did not expect that the Phoenix Chief Conference would become the godmother of the romance drama "Grandma Qiongyao", who wrote more than 60 novels in her lifetime, which were adapted into 55 movies and 34 TV series.
This number continues to reach new highs, for example, recently, Qiong Yao's grandmother wrote "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" at the age of 60 and has to be remade.
After writing so many love stories, Qiong Yao's own life is also ups and downs, twists and turns, the most important thing is that the reality is excessive, there is no trace of romance.
Now, let's follow the memory of the times and see what kind of current events, parents and families have created today's QiongYao Grandmother.
After Chen Zhiping and Yuan Xingshu received the letter from their old father, they took their three children and left for their hometown of Hunan.
In Hunan, Chen Zhiping and Yuan Xingshu went to teach at Nanhua Middle School, and the children followed their grandfather to make games, recognize words, and spend a happy and peaceful time.
However, the good times did not last long, the war burned to Hunan, and the short period of peaceful life was forced to end.
Chen Zhiping, who was the pillar of the family, began to flee with his family to the rear of Sichuan.
The way is truly thrilling.
Along the way, Chen Zhiping was repeatedly questioned by the Japanese with a gun to the head, and Yuan Xingshu was almost taken away by the Japanese, full of dangers, and never knew what situation he would face next.
One day, the two younger brothers who were picked up by the porter suddenly separated from their families, and Qiong Yao's parents, who had been sleeping in the wind for several months, had a complete mental breakdown.
Chen Zhiping took his wife and daughter into the waist-deep river, buried his head in the water, and stretched out a hand to press the wife next to him into the water.
Little Qiong Yao followed alongside, she could only cry, and she didn't know how to despair.
When his mother, Yuan Xingshu, was about to drown, she suddenly cried and asked Chen Zhiping, what if we were all dead and the children were still alive?
Chen Zhiping suddenly woke up, and the family hugged and cried.
"At that time, I was too young, but I had already experienced a lot of deaths.
I know that when I die, I can't move, I can't talk, I can't stand up...
As for the true meaning of death, I still don't understand it.
However, since I have followed my parents and my parents are going to die, I have a reason not to die.
I just felt sour in my heart, choked in my throat, and filled my eyes with tears.
I think of the unicorn, I think of the little brother, I know they are lost, we will never see each other again. So I replied, 'Good'.
After saying that, I cried.
The mother cried too, and so did the father. ”
The turbulent and displaced childhood left Qiong Yao's memories, in addition to poverty or poverty.
When he arrived in Sichuan, Yuan Xingshu gave birth to a fourth child, and his life became more and more difficult.
A family of six lives in a room, a table that is Chen Zhiping's desk during the day and becomes a bed at night.
Yuan Xingshu's younger brother is a lawyer, and the basic quality of life can be guaranteed, and he advises Chen Zhiping to change his career for his family, but Chen Zhiping is very angry and stubborn, and he has to teach when he is poor and starving.
Soon, civil war began, and the rear was no longer stable.
In 1949, Chen Zhiping and Yuan Xingshu ran to Taiwan with their children.
When she arrived in Taiwan, Qiong Yao was 11 years old, and she began to face another kind of suffering after spending her childhood in wandering, death, and fleeing into adolescence.
One day, Qiong Yao had been wandering outside after school, and she did not dare to go home because her bag contained a 20-minute roll.
It was dark, and Qiong Yao finally plucked up her courage, "She thought that she would come back to the end", but to her surprise, when she stepped into the house, no one asked her where she was after school.
Because the little sister was crying in the living room, Qiong Yao leaned up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The mother said, "This child is so good and strong, he scored 98 points on the test and cried." ”
Qiong Yao did not dare to mention the 20-point math paper in her bag.
It wasn't until late at night, when the family was asleep, that she took the roll to her mother.
Yuan Xingshu saw the 20-point test paper and inhaled a cold breath, but thinking that there were two other children with very good grades at home, she did not ask a word and directly signed her name.
Qiong Yao's neglect made Qiong Yao extremely sad, and she was also her mother's phoenix!
"Life is so realistic. When you have four children, you will never love that cowardly and incompetent, you will love that radiant one!
Day after day, the mother loves the little sister more and more, and the father loves the little brother more and more.
And they no longer bother to cover up this fact. ”
The next morning, Yuan Xingshu got up as usual to take care of the young children washing up and going to school, and she suddenly found that Qiong Yao did not get up.
She pushed open the door and went into Qiong Yao's room, where everything went as usual in the dim light.
Her eldest daughter lay motionless on the bed, and Yuan Xingshu tried to shout a few times, "Chen Zhe, why don't you get up yet?" ”
The child did not respond, Yuan Xingshu rushed over to see her own sleeping pills scattered on the bed, she was momentarily stunned.
This time, Qiong Yao woke up a full week later.
Maybe that's how writers are, their personalities are too sensitive, and their desperate feelings about life are particularly strong.
At that time, the only light in Qiong Yao's life was a Chinese language teacher who was 25 years older than her.
Her math, physics and chemistry are a mess, and only the Chinese language teacher appreciates her talent and understands everything about her.
The story of Qiong Yao and teacher Guowen was widely spread in the school.
At that time, it was close to the college entrance examination, and my mother read to Qiong Yao every day: "You can't fail to enter the university, your father is a university professor, and if you can't pass the examination, it will be the failure of the whole family." ”
Teacher Guowen also said to Qiong Yao, "You must be admitted!" Four years later, I'm waiting for you! ”
Under tremendous pressure, Qiong Yao fell off the list.
She lay in bed for three days and three nights, not eating or drinking.
Yuan Xingshu herself was a competitive and studious person, and she did not understand why Qiong Yao was so serious.
She felt that it was right to let her suffer for a while.
Yuan Xingshu is bent on collecting re-reading materials, and she must let her daughter take the exam again.
That night, Qiong Yao once again swallowed sleeping pills to commit suicide.
After committing suicide twice in three years, the father, Chen Zhiping, decided to personally inquire about his daughter.5
His grief turned to crazy anger and he pointed the finger at the Mandarin teacher.
Chen Zhiping, call the police!
Yuan Xingshu always remembers his life of falling in love with his teacher Chen Zhiping and being displaced after an unexpected pregnancy.
She vented all her dissatisfaction with life on the teacher.
Chen Zhiping has not forgotten how much suffering he has suffered in order to support this family over the years, teacher-student love! Great rebellion!
The fainting parents ran through all the institutions that could sue, ignoring Qiong Yao, who was kneeling on the ground crying and begging for them, and their purpose was to make the teacher discredited!
The data is accompanied by pictures, and the graphics and text are irrelevant
The teacher was expelled and chose to leave the country, on the day of the farewell, Qiong Yao cried to the point of collapse, the teacher said, "I want to find a place to lick my wounds", Qiong Yao said, "It turns out that my heart will really be broken." ”
This dialogue was later used by Qiong Yao countless times in the novel.
After the teacher left, Qiong Yao still had no intention of learning.
All this was seen by Yuan Xingshu.
Qiong Yao's birthday is approaching, and Yuan Xingshu decides to throw a birthday party for her.
At the birthday party, Yuan Xingshu suddenly asked Qiong Yao: "Do you remember the song "Double Flying Swallows on the Beam" that you carried when you were seven years old? ”
Before the words fell, the mother and daughter cried, and it turned out that Qiong Yao wanted to elope to find the Guowen teacher and was discovered by Yuan Xingshu, and she used this way to keep her daughter.
Yuan Xingshu said with tears in his eyes: "Once the wings are formed, lead to the branches of the court, raise the wings without looking back, and fly around with the wind." ”
She looked at her daughter in front of her, "Phoenix, if you want to fly, you can fly away!" ”
Qiong Yao knelt down, "Mom, Mom, I don't go, I don't go." ”
It turns out that art comes from life.
Qiong Yao has never been a reading material, but she is emotionally rich, and the materials in her life have become stories of bitter love under her pen.
She never went to college and married early with a yearning for love.
Qiong Yao's first husband, Qingjun, was an arrogant student in the Department of Literature at National Taiwan University.
When Yuan Xingshu heard about this, his first words were: "You will suffer if you follow him!" Girls are finished as soon as they get married, why don't you study when you are so young? ”
Qiong Yao ran out of the house and lived with Qingjun and gave birth to a child, Yuan Xingshu learned of it and immediately said:
"I have four children in my life, it is very hard, you have children don't bother me."
Qiong Yao can only write while taking children.
She wrote her first love story as "Outside the Window," published by Crown Press, her first work.
Greatly acclaimed, crown boss Ping Xintao also knew Qiong Yao, and the two began to entangle for decades.
However, for Qiong Yao's popularity, his father Chen Zhiping said:
Do you think people bought this book because they liked this work? People just want to see your autobiography.
Yuan Xingshu used more harsh words: "It turns out that your writing talent is to sell your parents to make money." ”
Later, "Outside the Window" became a film debut that made Lin Qingxia a hit.
Yuan Xingshu and Chen Zhiping also went to the theater to watch the movie "Outside the Window", and after watching it, they were furious.
"It's not enough to write books, but also to make movies to scold, you are so capable, why don't you kill me?!"
Yuan Xingshu began a hunger strike, and when Qiong Yao and Ping Xintao rushed home with their little sister, there was another car accident.
You guess why Qiong Yao dared to make up stories later, all because her own experience was too dramatic, and the stories she wrote were simply unremarkable in front of her experience.
After Qiong Yao and Ping Xintao fell in love, they became the little three in the eyes of the world.
She was not afraid to scold, because her mother scolded them in the most brutal tone,
"In the future, when I die, I will become a ghost and pinch your neck with my cold hands."
After Qiong Yao became famous, she hired a maid for her parents.
The maid was scolded out of the house by his parents at both ends of the three days, and the parents' favorite thing was to run away from home.
In her later years, Yuan Xingshu suffered from persecutory paranoia, believing that all the children in the family were her enemies, and she suffered from cataracts and her vision slowly disappeared.
Miserable.
In his later years, Yuan Xingshu was finally diagnosed with depression and several diseases of dementia.
Much of her paranoia about her children stemmed from her illness.
And Qiong Yao herself, because of her childhood experience, she is narcissistic and inferior, tenacious and strong, rebellious but pragmatic.
She is a synthesis of contradictions in herself.
She glorifies her experience as love, and emphasizes this view several times in her works, also for self-consistency;
In Qiong Yao's works, the core sense of rebellion is the portrayal of her own experience.
Regarding her relationship with her parents, the story is told by Qiong Yao, on the one hand, the more unreasonable she describes her parents, the more reasonable her behavior is.
In 1990, Yuan Xingshu died of sepsis, and in the last year of her life, she no longer knew anyone, but she relied on her husband and children, including Qiong Yao, as never before.
When Chen Zhiping died in 2002, he devoted his life to the creation of several works such as the General History of China, and was not deeply involved in family life.
Qiong Yao continued to work hard in her later years, and at the age of 60, she wrote the blockbuster "Huan Zhu Gege", and at the age of 70, she also fought a lawsuit with Yu Zheng.
At the age of 80, because of Ping Xintao's illness, Qiong Yao disagreed with the children of the Ping family, and there was a storm in the city.
On her 83rd birthday, Qiong Yao posted her life photos of raising flowers and fish in a small villa worth 560 million yuan left by Ping Xintao, and then announced her withdrawal from the net.
I have to say that this is really a family with extremely strong vitality!
