On March 8, 1992, a woman named Wang Xiaotun got up early in the morning to prepare for the most important day of her life, putting on makeup, twiping her hair, and putting on a carefully prepared wedding dress, and her heart fluttered unceasingly.
No one could have imagined that this seemingly unremarkable woman would marry Li Ao, a well-known writer.
Despite experiencing several periods of love, Li Ao couldn't help but become nervous in the face of such a moment.
After dressing up a little, he took his friends and witnesses to the home of his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, constantly writing on the way, thinking of making a good impression on the future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
However, when he really saw Wang Xiaotun's parents, the words prepared in advance were blocked in an instant, facing the young parents in front of him, his father-in-law and mother-in-law could not shout out, and they did not know what to call.
In the end, I had to bow deeply to them, and all words of gratitude and shame were free: "Thank you, I married Wang Xiaotun away, and I will definitely treat her well from now on." ”
It was also in this wedding that Li Ao left the most sincere testimony of his life: "The witness is from old age, and the certificate is from the custom." Positive shuo from pseudo, three from baking. "It became a good story for a while.
It is such a person that the world tolerated him for 83 years and admired him for 83 years.
A lifetime of indulgence in the literary world, the article is deaf and deaf, never vulgar, often surprising to give people thoughts; at the same time, laughing and angry and scolding, debauchery, starting to scold people with a pen pole, and the words are sharp and enjoyable.
Wan Jingbo, the editor-in-chief of the Southern People Weekly, once commented on him: "Li Ao is multi-faceted: those who love him see him as a master; supporters see him as a warrior; those who have received his help see him as a righteous and loose money; those who despise him see him as green skin; those who fear him see him as a rogue." ”
He is both a spontaneous and unruly talent, but also a prodigal son who is obsessed with the love scene.
Li Ao's life has experienced countless women, the talented Luo Ruoyun, xiaolei in the tribulation of life and death, Hu Yinmeng, the first beautiful woman in Taiwan...
But at the end of his life, Li Ao stayed by the side of the unknown Wang Xiaotun, what kind of love did they experience?
01 First acquaintance at first sight
Spring 1985, Renai Road, Taipei.
It was an ordinary afternoon, and Wang Xiaotun was waiting for the bus in front of the bus stop, holding a copy of Li Ao's "Qianqiu Review" and looking at it intently.
At that time, Wang Xiaotun had just turned 19 years old, with a beautiful face, a long hair, a short skirt, standing in the crowd, slender and plump, very eye-catching.
Li Ao happened to be on the side, and unconsciously attracted to this girl.
Most importantly, at this time, Wang Xiaotun's expression when reading the book was very similar to the woman that Li Ao had missed, Xiao Lei.
More than a decade ago, Li Ao met Xiao Lei, who had just graduated from Kaohsiung Girls' High School, and the two quickly fell in love, like glue.
However, at this time, Li Ao paid the price for his uninhibited style, angered the Taiwan authorities, and was arrested and imprisoned.
Five years later, Li Ao finally got out of prison and regained his freedom, but by this time XiaoLei had already married a wife and a mother. Since then, Xiaolei has become an unforgettable regret in Li Ao's life.
The figure of his former lover gradually coincided with the girl reading in front of him, and Li Ao's heart gradually shook, and his thoughts and admiration for Xiaolei suddenly shifted to this strange girl.
He couldn't help but step forward and say to Wang Xiaotun, "Hello, my name is Li Ao, and I would love to make a friend with you." ”
At this time, Li Ao was exactly 50 years old, his appearance was no longer handsome when he was young, and his figure had already been quietly deformed under the erosion of the years.
Although Li Ao is no longer debauched and wandering, he can't help but have some nervousness and worry at this time, how will this girl respond to herself?
Wang Xiaotun looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, so shocked that he could not speak.
Of course she knew him and admired him. It's just that she really can't believe that the university she admires and admires is actually standing in front of her at this moment, and she also takes the initiative to say that she wants to make friends with herself.
Li Ao saw that Wang Xiaotun did not speak, and hurriedly asked, "What, you have not heard of me?" ”
Wang Xiaotun woke up and said, "I already knew your name, but I didn't expect to know you on the road, so I'm very happy!" ”
The two then began to talk, but unfortunately the bus arrived soon, in order not to delay Wang Xiaotun's time, the two left each other's phone numbers and hurriedly said goodbye.
At this time, Li Ao may not have thought that this childish-looking girl will become his final destination in the days to come.
02 The two loves are criticized
In the following days, Wang Xiaotun did not pay attention to this matter anymore, and the encounter with the big celebrity Li Ao was more like a surprising episode in her ordinary life.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Li Ao really called the phone, and Wang Xiaotun answered it with surprise and joy, and the familiar and unfamiliar voice on the other side of the phone filled her whole mind in an instant.
Li Ao talked about their first encounter in front of the bus stop on the phone, and the tone was full of sweetness: "I came out of my friend's house that day and walked to the bus stop, and I saw a girl with long hair and shorts standing there waiting for the bus; the closer I got, the more I thought this girl was so beautiful." When I approached you, I thought to myself: Such a beautiful girl, don't miss it! I plucked up the courage and patted you. ”
After Wang Xiaotun listened, he hurriedly said, "I have what you said so well!" ”
Li Ao continued his sugar-coated attack: "It is indeed beautiful, beautiful like a landscape." ”
Since then, Li Ao has often called her, sometimes two or three times a day. The content of the two people's calls ranged from daily trivia to the starry universe, from philosophy to art, as if there were endless words.
Where can the young girl who has just opened her heart withstand such a straightforward admiration, and soon Wang Xiaotun was defeated under Li Ao's "telephone attack", and the two began to fall in love.
Due to Li Ao's reputation and the huge age gap between them, this relationship was not made public.
Both Wang Xiaotun and Li Ao silently silenced the others, enjoying the happiness that belonged only to two people.
During the love period, Wang Xiaotun was also influenced by Li Ao and decided to go from the original nursing school examination to the Chinese department of the Cultural University.
Li Ao accompanied Wang Xiaotun to review and guide her homework, and finally Wang Xiaotun really completed the transfer.
One day, Wang Xiaotun was taking a course on the history of Chinese thought, but the teacher on the podium suddenly talked about Li Ao and quoted Li Ao many times.
Wang Xiaotun was suddenly sweet and proud in his heart.
Day after day of dialogue and companionship made the relationship between the two more and more deep, just like this, Wang Xiaotun secretly fell in love with Li Ao while going to school, and was very dependent on Li Ao.
However, paper can not contain the fire after all. The teachers and classmates in the school gradually learned the fact that Wang Xiaotun and Li Ao were in love.
Imaginary blessings do not appear, and people always speak ill of each other and make comments without knowing the truth.
Verbal attacks on Wang Xiaotun gradually arose in the school, saying that she "admired vanity" and "did not respect herself" abounded.
But Wang Xiaotun did not put all this in her heart, because her heart told herself that this was not the truth.
The constant excessive rumors finally attracted the attention of the school, and Wang Yaping, the head of the Chinese Department, immediately brought Wang Xiaotun to talk after learning about this matter.
"Li Ao is a person who has a wrong position, and he is a master of playing with beautiful female college students." You should immediately sever ties with him and not damage the image and reputation of the Cultural University. Wang Yaping bitterly admonished Wang Xiaotun.
On the one hand, this remark was out of concern for Wang Xiaotun, and on the other hand, he was worried that the reputation of the school would be damaged.
Wang Xiaotun was completely angered by these words, and she indignantly retorted: "I don't agree with your statements!" I think there is a prejudice against Li Ao in society. In terms of personal relationship life, I know he did find a few female college students, but he wasn't the one with two boats on his feet. ”
In Wang Xiaotun's heart, Li Ao loved himself, and he also loved Li Ao deeply. This is a fact that cannot be shaken in any way, and it is also the biggest psychological pillar of her at this time.
And these, she did not say a word to Li Ao, but chose a person to bear silently.
Soon after, Wang Yaping saw that Wang Xiaotun did not have the slightest remorse and continued to associate with Li Ao. He called Wang Xiaotun's parents and asked them to come to the school to intervene and discipline them.
Wang Xiaotun's parents were very surprised when they heard the news, their family were all "Li Ao fans", but they could not accept that their daughter was in love with so many people who were older than themselves.
So the two rush to school without stopping, trying to stop this unusual love.
In the face of the obstruction of teachers and parents, the estrangement and sneering of classmates, Wang Xiaotun fell into a deep confusion, did I really do wrong?
After some thought, Wang Xiaotun finally decided to temporarily break off contact with Li Ao, handing over the answer to time and the choice to the heart.
She wrote a letter and sent it to Li Ao's residence, saying that she would concentrate on studying, no longer go to his place, have free time to see him again, and then transfer to another university and disappear into Li Ao's world.
After Li Ao received the letter, his heart also understood that Wang Xiaotun was under tremendous pressure. Although helpless, he still respected Wang Xiaotun's wishes and did not bother her again.
However, a few months passed, there was no Wang Xiaotun to cook tea in autumn, and no one hugged each other for warmth on snowy days in winter, and Li Ao finally panicked.
He went to Wang Xiaotun's school, but the news he got was that she had transferred schools and her mood was suddenly dimmed.
It has always been like this, people only understand the preciousness of what they have gained when they lose it, and regret that they did not cherish it before.
Although he was sad in his heart, Li Ao still believed in the feelings between the two and believed that Wang Xiaotun loved him.
So he waited day by day with this feeling. And secretly swore: If she does not change her heart, I will treat her kindly in the future and marry her for a hundred years.
03 The prodigal son turns back to meet the truth
Wang Xiaotun at the other end was not an iron heart, and in the months of separation from Li Ao, she actually did not think about Li Ao for a moment.
Finally, after the final exam, she decided to go back to find Li Ao and continue her secret love affair with Li Ao, no longer paying attention to the surprise or disdainful eyes of her classmates at school, and no longer paying attention to the insults and objections of her parents.
In 1987, Wang Xiaotun graduated from university. Under the arrangement of his parents, Wang Xiaotun returned to Nangang to officially become a Chinese teacher.
The work in the school is very busy, and Wang Xiaotun runs between students and textbooks all day.
But even so, Wang Xiaotun would still take time to go to Li Ao to help him clean, proofread manuscripts, cut newspapers, and even if he only did a little thing, it would make her happy for a long time.
Sometimes it was too busy to have time, and the two of them would make a phone call to report to each other that they were safe and greeted with goodnight.
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like shuttles.
In 1992, Li Ao deeply felt the deep feelings between the two, and he did reach an age, so he formally made a marriage request to Wang Xiaotun and prepared to go down single-mindedly.
Although Wang Xiaotun was happy, there was still a big mountain pressing down on her heart -- that is, her parents, who had previously disagreed with her relationship with Li Ao, would agree to the marriage between the two?
Wang Xiaotun launched a worry: "How can my parents' work be done?" ”
Unsurprisingly, his parents' attitude towards Li Ao was the same as it was then. When my father heard that the marriage partner was Li Ao, he stared at her deadly; his mother even shouted excitedly: "If you marry Li Ao, I will go diving and drown!" ”
And Wang Xiaotun's heart was already decided, and after hearing this, she turned her head and prepared to leave, and before leaving the door, she said to her mother: "Mom, don't you cry." If you don't agree to me marrying Li Ao, I can agree, but I won't marry anyone for the rest of my life. ”
The situation turned out to be like this, no one wanted to see it, even if it was wild like Li Ao, he could not resist it, and he hurriedly advised Wang Xiaotun not to be impulsive, while discussing with Wang Xiaotun how to deal with it.
In the end, Li Ao found Wang Xiaotun's brother and asked him to help the two intercede. This persuasion really worked, and Wang Xiaotun's parents finally breathed a sigh of relief and stopped opposing it so fiercely.
Li Ao and Wang Xiaotun then quickly lit a fire while it was hot, began to prepare for the wedding, and officially became a couple who could support each other for a lifetime.
After getting married, the relationship between the two became stronger, and Wang Xiaotun single-mindedly raised the children after giving birth to two children for Li Ao, and by the way helped Li Ao proofread the new book;
Li Ao is equally caring for his newlywed wife, never wanting his wife and children to appear in public, nor allowing media to report on them.
Li Ao, who had previously been mercurial, seemed to have changed into a person, and began to worry about Wang Xiaotun's love for him.
He always asked Wang Xiaotun, "I'm worried that you won't take care of me in the future, and everything will have to come by myself." ”
Wang Xiaotun always responded to Li Ao's worries seriously, and every time he replied categorically: "Rest assured, I will definitely grow old with you, and I will never abandon you!" ”
In this way, after half a lifetime of bumpy love, this former wanderer finally found the other shore worth stopping and lived the rest of his life like a child.
In his autobiography, "My 67 Years of Debauchery", Li Ao emotionally recalled: "After getting married, Xiao tun gave me a solid rear and made my heart feel warm..."
If Li Ao is a wild eagle, then Wang Xiaotun is a mountain where he docks, don't care whether the eyes are sharp or not, whether the wings are powerful, the mountain is always here, waiting for him to come home.
