Hu Shi and Jiang Dongxiu
Hu Shi's great name fell into the universe, and Mrs. Xiao's feet followed.
During the Republic of China period, wars were raging, and countless stories of talented people emerged, many of which were the words of parents in that era, resulting in the love of many celebrities being tragic. For example, Lu Xun's original partner Zhu An, Guo Moruo's original partner Zhang Qionghua and others all watched their husband's life in the barren years, but they shook the years, and did not shake their own husband.
However, the love between Hu Shi and his wife Jiang Dongxiu ended well, and the two of them were not well matched in any way: one was a personable literary master with 35 doctorates, and the other was a small-footed woman with a short temper who did not know a few words.
Hu Shi and Jiang Dongxiu were engaged by the elderly of both sides, and did not even meet before marriage, but the two people stayed together for 45 years, and this small-footed woman from the countryside, Jiang Dongxiu, created one of the "Seven Wonders" in the history of the Republic of China, which has to be said to be a miracle.
It is said that the literati are sentimental, Hu Shi is such a big talent, and of course there is not only one woman around him.
On Hu Shi's side are Wei Liansi, who has never been married for him for life, Chen Hengzhe, who has been in love with Hongyan, Cao Chengying, who is ambiguous with him, Xu Fang, a talented daughter of the Republic of China who has a crush on him, Luo Deqian Lovetz, his teacher's secretary, and Lu Xiaoman, but these women are all short-lived, brilliant and withered, and only the original wife, Jiang Dongxiu, has become the ultimate winner of this relationship.
Many people say that Jiang Dongxiu, who holds a kitchen knife to defend love, is fierce, but few people know that she also has feelings and righteousness, and after Hu Shi's death, she personally put the photo of Hu Shi's first love, Wei Liansi, into the grave and let her continue to accompany her husband.
Because the best love is to give and fulfill, Wei Liansi was too good to Hu Shi, and Jiang Dongxiu was also moved.
Hu Shi's first love, Wei Liansi
First, in 1904, Hu Shi and Jiang Dongxiu became engaged.
In 1904, Hu Shi and Jiang Dongxiu got engaged, which was completely a matter of fate from their parents.
Jiang Dongxiu is a rude man in the countryside in the eyes of the world, with a mediocre appearance and a year old Hu Shi. Jiang Dongxiu's zodiac sign is a tiger, and Hu Shi, whose zodiac sign is a rabbit, is a big murderer and is not suitable for marriage. It is said that the tiger rabbit will not last long, but there is always a special, Hu Shi and Jiang Dongxiu's yin and yang relationship has gone through a lifetime hand in hand, but there are countless twists and turns in the middle, but Hu Shi is still picked up by the tigress in the eyes of the world.
After Hu Shi got engaged, he went to study, and also traveled far away to study in Chongyang, became a personable talent who drank foreign ink, and began to have warblers and swallows around him, it is said that Hu Shi met Wei Liansi at Cornell University in the United States is his first love, and Hu Shi have a good feeling for each other, but Hu Shi, the child raised by his widowed mother, is a big filial piety.
Although Jiang Dongxiu has never met Hu Shi, but she has identified Hu Shi, waited for him for more than ten years, and also moved to live with Hu Shi's mother, which is deeply liked by her mother-in-law, when she heard that Hu Shi had other women outside, Jiang Dongxiu was not angry, Hu Shi's mother was angry, not only refused Hu Shi's dissolution of the marriage contract, but also forced to die.
Hu Shi was a great filial piety, and seeing his mother's attitude so resolute, his heart was disheveled, and he had no choice but to bid farewell to his beloved Wei Liansi
"My mother urged me to go back to complete the marriage, and I could only return to China to fulfill the marriage contract." ”
Second, in 1917, Hu Shi and Jiang Dongxiu married.
In 1917, Hu Shi returned to China to serve as a professor at Peking University, and then rushed back to his hometown of Jixi, Anhui Province, to marry Jiang Dongxiu.
The two people are completely arranged marriages, and they have not even met each other before marriage, but this wedding is still very solemn and inclined to the Western-style civilized wedding, both people are smiling very brightly, but how to see Hu Shi is a polite and elegant beautiful man, but how to look at Jiang Dongxiu she is not a beauty, the appearance is still very fierce.
After the marriage, Hu Shi immediately returned to Beijing to work, and Jiang Dongxiu only went to Beijing to meet him a year later, but since then, Jiang Dongxiu has been accompanying Hu Shi's side and staged what the world sees:
"Hu Shi's name is heavy on the universe, and Mrs. LittleFoot is also with him."
Hu Shi was a great scholar who stayed in the West, but Jiang Dongxiu, who came from the countryside, was not cowardly, and was also very decisive and spicy, and his ability to do things was extremely strong, and after arriving in Beijing, he was impressed.
Jiang Dongxiu is a hero and righteous, peking university professor Liang Zongdai wants to divorce his arranged wife He Shi, Jiang Dongxiu takes He Shi to his home, and also drags Hu Shi to the court to defend He Shi personally. Although the marriage was not divorced, but the scumbag was still a scumbag, Liang Zongdai and the favorite woman Shen Ying ran away, but within a few years, Liang Zongdai abandoned Shen Ying and fell in love with others.
Hu Shi's lover Cao Chengying
Third, Jiang Dongxiu drove away Hu Shi's lover with a kitchen knife.
Hu Shi is personable, the women around him will naturally not be less, as mentioned earlier, when studying in the United States, there was a mutual love of Wei Liansi, but forced by the mother's fate and had to come back to complete the marriage, but after the marriage, there are still many people who love Hu Shi, including Cao Chengying.
The first time the two people met was at the wedding of Hu Shi, Cao Chengying was the sister of Hu Shi's third sister-in-law, which was considered a small cousin, although Cao Chengying, who had just opened his heart, had a good feeling for Hu Shi, but he had no choice but Hu Shi already had a wife, and had to honor his mother's order and marry Hu Guanying, but this marriage without feelings still ended in divorce.
Cao Chengying found an excuse to bravely write a letter to Hu Shi, asking him to write a preface for the "Anhui Travel-Hangzhou Association Newspaper", and the two people have been in love with each other since then.
On April 29, 1923, the two men who met again lived together at the Zhai She of Qingxiu Temple in Yanxiadong, Hangzhou.
They spent three months together, these three months should be Cao Chengying's happiest time, but also paid a heavy price, I believe Hu Shi is really touched by her, only after learning that Cao Chengying is pregnant, go home to Jiang Dongxiu for divorce.
Hu Shi proposed a divorce to Jiang Dongxiu, but Jiang Dongxiu did not say a word, and took a kitchen knife from the kitchen and angrily said:
"If you want a divorce, you can kill two children first, and then you will commit suicide, and you will live your good life."
Hu Shi was stupid on the spot, where he was a face-loving Confucian scholar who had seen this situation, he immediately softened, and from then on, even if he had a little good feeling with other women, he did not dare to say anything about divorce.
Jiang Dongxiu defended his love with a kitchen knife, and Cao Chengying had to beat off the child and did not get happiness in his life.
Later, when Cao Chengying wanted to marry someone, she was also destroyed by Jiang Dongxiu, Who really hated her, but Jiang Dongxiu was not a ruthless and unjust person, and she was very good to Hu Shi's first love, Wei Liansi, and she said that Hu Shi's life must be complete with Wei Liansi.
Fourth, Hu Shi later fell in love with Jiang Dongxiu.
Many people say that Hu Shi is also mercurial, and Wei Liansi, Chen Hengzhe, Cao Chengying, Xu Fang, Loewitz, Lu Xiaoman and other people are ambiguous, but they have not divorced their wives Jiang Dongxiu, because Jiang Dongxiu is a tigress, and Hu Shi does not dare to divorce.
I don't see it that way, I believe that Hu Shi later gradually liked Jiang Dongxiu, and he was unwilling to give up this family, otherwise there were so many divorced masters during the Republic of China, and when Xu Zhimo abandoned Zhang Youyi, he did not care about Zhang's life and death.
Xu Zhimo wanted Zhang Youyi to beat up the child for divorce, Zhang Youyi said that he heard that the fetus would die, Xu Zhimo satirized that she would die in the car, and then left her resolutely, but Xu Zhimo estimated that he did not think that there would be an accident on the plane.
Although Jiang Dongxiu did not know a few big characters, and there were many typos in writing letters to Hu Shi reluctantly, she was really kind to Hu Shi.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Jiang Dongxiu fled all the way, she abandoned a lot of things, but did not abandon Hu Shi's seventy boxes of books, she knew that these were the lifeblood of Mr. Hu, Hu Shi was moved:
"The teacher who fled from Peiping did not bring books. Only my seventy boxes of books came out. It's all a big credit to you alone. ”
Can't always stare at Jiang Dongxiu's small-footed woman, don't know a few words, to know that Jiang Dongxiu has not yet seen Hu Shi when she put her foot wrap, she identified Hu Shi, a lifetime without complaint and no regrets to follow Behind Hu Shi, she can make delicious meals, take care of Hu Shi's family.
Jiang Dongxiu is still indifferent to fame and fortune, and many women hope that their husband will be a high-ranking official, but she knows the deceit of the officialdom and has always advised Hu Shi not to get involved in the officialdom, and Hu Shi has no choice but to be an ambassador for a period of time and still feel ashamed of Jiang Dongxiu.
After Hu Shi became the US ambassador, Jiang Dongxiu still made various maneuvers, while persuading Hu Shi to resign on the pretext of illness, he asked his old friend Zhang Weici to come forward to help, so that the government allowed Hu Shi to resign, and Jiang Dongxiu wanted a peaceful and stable life, not those false names.
Hu Shi was gradually moved by Jiang Dongxiu, and when repairing the ancestral tomb, he wrote these words on the inscription:
Two generations of Ying, from now on. Whoever makes it work, my wife Dongxiu.
After Hu Shi arrived in Taiwan, he knew that his wife did not have any hobbies, he liked to play mahjong, and he also bought a house for his wife to play mahjong, Hu Shi wrote a lot of articles, but also wrote a new three from four virtues:
The wife must follow when she goes out, the wife must obey the order, the wife must blindly obey when she says wrong; the wife must wait for makeup, the wife must endure scolding, the wife must remember the birthday, and the wife should spend money to give up.
Many people say that Hu Shi is afraid of his wife, but I believe that there is still a deep love behind this.
Fifth, Jiang Dongxiu put a photo of Hu Shi's first love into his tomb.
Many people say that Jiang Dongxiu is too cruel to Cao Chengying, but this person has threatened Jiang Dongxiu's family, why is it wrong for her to defend her family? Jiang Dongxiu also forbade Hu Shi from communicating with Xu Fang, a talented daughter who admired him, and Hu Shi also assured him that he would not do anything to be sorry for her, in fact, Jiang Dongxiu was by no means a person who did not know cold and warm, ruthless and unjust, and she was very good to Hu Shi's first love, Wei Liansi.
Wei Liansi liked Hu Shi, but Hu Shi went home and got married, she knew that it was impossible to be with Hu Shi again, but she still silently loved Hu Shi all her life.
This love still does not require anything in return, because the best love is to give and fulfill.
Wei Liansi is the daughter of a professor at Cornell University, a person of high character, rich knowledge, and purity, she has been Hu Shi's confidant for 48 years, and Hu Shi has staged a Plato love that has lasted for half a century, and has given everything for Hu Shi.
The noble Wei Liansi was unwilling to go against his own heart, gave up the pursuit of others, and was willing to live his life for Hu Shi to be unmarried.
Wei Liansi liked Hu Shi and liked everything Hu Shi had, including the people around Hu Shi, so she warmly welcomed Cao Chengying, and was even more very kind to Hu Shi's wife, Jiang Dongxiu, who bought her a ring on her birthday.
In 1959, at the age of 74, Wei Liansi did something that shocked everyone, she moved to the garage, sold her house, and gave all her savings to Hu Shi in order to let him publish books:"
I want to do a modest job in the publication and English translation of your important work. ”
Hu Shi and Wei Liansi
This was the last thing Wei Liansi did for Hu Shi, because she was old and could no longer do it, and there were very few relics at the time of her death, but all the letters and manuscripts of Hu Shi were completely preserved, such a love was too heavy, but it touched countless people.
In 1962, Hu Shi died, and Jiang Dongxiu, who has been scolded by many people as a humble woman, also did something that shocked countless people, she put a photo of Wei Liansi into Hu Shi's grave, so that Wei Liansi could continue to accompany Hu Shi.
In 1965, Jiang Dongxiu sorted out Hu Shi's manuscript and specially asked Wei Liansi for a handwritten autobiography.
Jiang Dongxiu was also touched by Wei Liansi, believing that Hu Shi's life should have Wei Liansi to be complete.
Wei Liansi liked Hu Shi, in her heart, she and Hu Shi had already been spiritually married, she loved Wu and Wu, loved all the people around Hu Shi, including his wife and lover, such a love made countless people sigh.
People are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless, Wei Liansi touched all people, but also touched Jiang Dongxiu, Jiang Dongxiu is no longer a little woman in love, but willingly accepted Wei Liansi, will let her accompany her deceased husband.
Hu Shi Cemetery
Sixth, Jiang Dongxiu and Hu are suitable for burial.
In 1962, Hu Shi died of a sudden heart attack, and it is said that 300,000 people were sent to the funeral, and his influence is evident. Hu Shi's tomb is located on the hill of Hu Shi Park opposite the Academia Sinica in Taipei's Nangang Academia, and the environment is quiet and elegant, which is very suitable for such a literati.
After Hu Shi's death, Jiang Dongxiu, who wrote letters with countless typos, began to sort out the "Complete Works of Hu Shi", she loved her husband deeply, and she was also defending her husband with her life.
In 1975, Jiang Dongxiu died, and Hu was buried, the tombstone was uprightly written "The tomb of Mr. Hu Shi, president of the Academia Sinica and Mrs. Jiang Dongxiu of Debei", and the back of the tombstone is written with four big characters of "Zhide and Long", these four words are Hu Shi's epitaph, and it is also a portrayal of his life.
Hu Shi and Jiang Dongxiu, the lovers who walked together because of arranged marriages during the Republic of China period, have been together for 45 years, and they can continue to be together after death, and I believe that their lives are happy.
What is love? It's safe and secure.
