There is a book jun said
Bing Xin and Wu Wenzao's love affair began with a cruise ship bound for the United States.
Although it is not as thrilling as the love in "Titanic", it is also a different kind of romance.
The ships are loaded with heavyweights who have influenced the development of China's modern and contemporary history.
In addition to Bingxin, there are Xu Dishan, Liang Shiqiu, Gu Yiqiao and others, of course, there is also the male protagonist of this love story - Mr. Wu Wenzao.
Today, let's take a look at the love story of Bing Xin and Wu Wenzao.
Literary shop splendid embroidery, encounter strange fate
In September 1918, a young girl named Xie Wanying published her first novel, "Two Families," in the Beijing Morning Post.
Since then, people have gradually forgotten "Xie Wanying" and remembered the name "Ice Heart" forever.
With years of accumulation and talent, Bingxin's growth is extremely rapid, and before long, she is already a prominent figure in Yenching University.
Bing Xin, who was in his early twenties, not only served as the deputy director of the editorial department of the "Yanda Quarterly Magazine", but also published his own poetry collection and novel collection, at that time, the petite and handsome Bing Xin was a well-deserved beautiful writer.
That summer in 1923 was a season of harvest for Bingxin that she would never forget.
That year, she graduated with honors, won the "Golden Key" honorary award, and was given the opportunity to go to the other side of the ocean to study.
The most romantic thing is that she met her love on the mail ship to the other side of the ocean.
It turned out that Bingxin had a classmate's younger brother named Wu Zhuo, who was also on this ship, and Bingxin was entrusted by his classmates to take care of him, and soon after getting on the ship, Bingxin asked acquaintances to find Wu Zhuo.
Maybe it was because of the accent problem, or maybe it was providence in the darkness, but the person who was found was a strange young man named Wu Wenzao.
At that time, the ice heart, which had been famous at a young age, was surrounded by people who flattered themselves.
Unlike everyone else, Wu Wenzao saw Bingxin, who was both talented and beautiful, without half a compliment, and even after chatting with Bingxin for a while, boldly criticized her for reading too little:
"If you don't take advantage of your time abroad and read more extracurricular books, then this time to the United States will be in vain!"
We don't know whether Wu Wenzao really had no mouth at that time, or whether he did the opposite in order to impress Bingxin, but it was this relentless "lesson" that made Bingxin completely remember this tall, thick-eyebrowed and big-eyed young man.
Decades later, Bing Xin can still recall how he felt at that time:
His words stung me deeply! The first time I met him like this, I was willing to speak so frankly, which made me feel terrified to take him as my first detractor and fearful friend! ”
In this way, Wu Wenzao broke into the world of Bingxin.
After disembarking, Bingxin received many letters, and she only replied with a few words of entertainment, except for Wu Wenzao, she seriously wrote a reply letter.
In this way, two people came and went, exchanging letters with the spiritual world, and the two hearts got closer and closer, and the seeds of love quietly sprouted between them.
A misunderstanding of acquaintance, the achievement of two people's wonderful fate, these unexpected small beauty in life, enough to make people rejoice for a lifetime.
(Ice Heart)
Deep in love, happy to marry
Many people think that Wu Wenzao is a typical straight man of science and engineering, but in fact, he gave Bing Xin a lot of unexpected romance.
In 1925, in order to promote traditional Chinese culture, international students in Boston decided to perform the classical Chinese opera "Pipa Ji", in which Bing Xin played Miss Niu, the daughter of the prime minister.
This was her first stage performance, and Bing Xin wanted Wu Wenzao to come to watch, so she specially mailed an admission ticket to Wu Wenzao.
Without thinking, Wu Wenzao wrote back that he was too busy with his studies and the road was also very far away, and he could not come to participate and apologized.
After receiving the letter, although Bing Xin understood, he could not help but feel a little lost and regretful in his heart.
Unexpectedly, on the second day of the performance, Bingxin, who was resting at a friend's house, suddenly heard a knock at the door, opened the door and looked at it, it was Wu Wenzao.
Seeing Bingxin, he smiled shyly, and it turned out that he wanted to surprise her.
Wu Wenzao's smile was like the spring breeze of March, blowing warm the soft heart of bingxin.
Knowing that Bing Xin was obsessed with literature, Every time Wu Wenzao found a good book, he immediately mailed it to Bing Xin, and he carefully added annotations to the book, and even deliberately drew lines for those sentences that could secretly express his heart.
The small romance in these details made Bingxin feel Wu Wenzao's sincerity, and in that day of longing and suffering, Bingxin wrote the small poem "Lovesickness":
Avoid acacia
Put on Joel
Walk out of the quietly lit room
The bright moon in the path is peeping
Dead branches in the snow
And Wrote about acacia all over again
The paper is short and long, and the words tell the thoughts of Bingxin.
Their love begins with a beautiful misunderstanding, sublimated by the fact that they find beauty in their own way, and together they freeze the short encounter as eternity.
On June 15, 1929, Bing Xin and Wu Wenzao held a wedding ceremony at The Lake Xuan of Yenching University.
On that day, Bingxin, wearing a white dress and a flower crown, was simple and atmospheric, while Wu Wenzao was dressed in a straight suit, Yushu Linfeng, and there were not many guests present, only their beloved relatives and friends.
The total cost of entertaining guests on that day was only 34 yuan, which can be said that this is a wedding that cannot be simpler, but Bing Xin never cares.
She said: "True marriage is not pomp and circumstance, but in spiritual communication, and nothing else matters." ”
There is no grand wedding, but a lifelong commitment.
Their love, like a moving tune, is melodious and lingering.
After marriage, the two people are kind and loving, Qinse and Ming, Bingxin often jokes about Wu Wenzao, and Wu Wenzao is also happy to play with Bingxin.
In ordinary days, in addition to chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea, as well as qinqi calligraphy and painting poetry hops, the two people really turned a place of chicken feathers into a poem.
(Wu Wenzao)
Ten years of catastrophe, half a life for you and me
True love is not only the blandness of the years, but also the inseparability of the adversity.
A catastrophe approached them unconsciously.
In 1957, Wu Wenzao was inexplicably branded as a "rightist", such a heavy "hat" that made Wu Wenzao miserable.
Once a tireless scholar of style and elegance, now being criticized and insulted day by day, sweeping toilets, living in cowsheds, unable to argue with each other, without dignity, Wu Wenzao at that time has begun to express his despair about life in his diary.
It is said that "husband and wife are originally the same forest bird, and the big trouble is about to fly separately", but Bingxin did not shrink back more than half a minute, even if there was a risk of being implicated, she did not stop supporting, encouraging and helping her husband for a moment.
Her companionship, like a bright lamp illuminating Wu Wenzao's heart, gave him hope for life.
In 1979, Wu Wenzao's "rightist" problem was finally corrected.
In the past 22 years, they have fought side by side, faced together, survived one difficulty after another, and relied on each other in the ups and downs of life.
Looking back, the two are already white-haired old men, the vicissitudes of the years have changed, and what has not changed is two hot hearts and that deep affection.
This love is sublimated in suffering and nirvana in setbacks.
On September 24, 1985, Wu Wenzao died, and Bingxin was surprisingly calm.
When people are gone, love lives on, and Bing Xin once said, "With love there is everything." ”
Wu Wenzao encountered adversity in life, and Bing Xin and him comforted and encouraged each other.
And Wu Wenzao also gave his wife a lifetime of love and care, giving Bingxin an ordinary, warm and happy home.
It is this kind of love that makes Bingxin insist on writing for 75 years, with the vicissitudes of the century, running various emotions through his life's works, writing out the vast and eternal love of human beings.
Their warmth in this life, like a kite and a line, is always closely linked no matter where they are.
The longest confession of affection in the world is companionship; the deepest love is also companionship.
In 1999, after Bingxin was over 100 years old, he passed away.
Following Bingxin's will, the family buried her with her husband Wu Wenzao in Babaoshan, Beijing, with the words on their urns:
Changle Xie Bingxin
Jiangyin Wu Wenzao
Born and sleep together, die in the same cave, this life is not over, the next life will be together.
Bing Xin once said:
"Love is on the right, compassion is on the left, walking on both sides of the road of life, sowing seeds at any time, blossoming at any time."
The long-distance embellishment of this road is full of fragrant flowers, so that pedestrians who wear branches and leaves do not feel pain when they step on thorns, and there are tears to fall and it is not sad. ”
Because of Wu Wenzao's love and companionship, Bing Xin's life, what he sees in his eyes is a landscape.
