If you have a little understanding of the literati and scholars of the Republic of China period, you will find that the Talents of the Republic of China in that period were all sentimental people, and the feelings of most of the talents were tortuous and bumpy, and there were also many people who would cheat after marriage, and Meiyan only pursued true love. However, so many literary works in the Republic of China period may also be related to this, perhaps the rich emotional life makes writers pay more attention to life, write life into words, and let people feel the beauty of words.
Speaking of the talents of the Republic of China, we certainly cannot ignore Shen Congwen, the author of the literary work "Border City". Who is Shen Congwen? Shen Congwen, whose original name was Shen Yuehuan, was born in 1902 and is recognized as a literary genius, but he has been ridiculed for coming from a rural area and only having a primary school diploma.
In his early years, he taught at a public school in China, and on the first day of teaching, everyone heard that a well-known writer came to class, so they came to see the liveliness. It is also fate, on this day, Shen Congwen met the love of his life - Zhang Zhaohe. Zhang Zhaohe's birth was noble, was a famous family at that time, the four sisters in their family were known as the "Four Sisters of Hefei", at that time, this sister group and the three sisters of the Song clan were equally famous, in short, Zhang Zhaohe at that time was both noble and talented.
At the first sight of Zhang Zhaohe, Shen Congwen fell deeply in love with this beautiful female student. Shen Congwen is a man who falls in love and will immediately put into action. He is also a man with high emotional intelligence, and he knows that his life is not worthy of Zhang Zhaohe, and Zhang Zhaohe will not look at him so easily. So he did a lot of things that girls would be touched by, and wrote a love letter to Zhang Zhaohe every day.
Such a romantic thing, even if Zhang Zhaohe did not like Shen Congwen at first, but under the fierce pursuit of three years of continuous fierce pursuit, Zhang Zhaohe's heart began to sway a little. What made Zhang Zhaohe completely like Shen Congwen?
Once, Shen Congwen wrote to her that made girls move. The letter reads: "I have walked on bridges in many places, seen clouds many times, and drunk many kinds of wine, but I have loved only one person of the right and best age." Shen Congwen told Zhang Zhaohe that I have experienced a lot, but I am my beloved, and I will always love you. In this way, Shen Congwen married his own goddess Zhang Zhaohe as he wished.
But such a beautiful scenery is not long, not long after marriage, Shen Congwen did not feel love in his wife Zhang Zhaohe's body, felt that his wife did not love him, nor did he worship him, he felt that he was useless in his wife's eyes. He began to waver, and he also began to resist the temptation of the outside world, and he did something that women could not stand, that is, cheating.
Shen Congwen's affair was with the female writer Gao Yunxiu, whose pen name was Gao Qingzi. This woman is very infatuated with Shen Congwen and also admires him, and at this time, Shen Congwen feels the self-esteem of being a man in this woman. Naïve, he thought that his wife would forgive, and asked himself how anyone could forgive the infidelity. Zhang Zhaohe, who was high-spirited, decided to divorce, and even though Shen Congwen later spent a long time chasing his wife back, there was still a deep gap between them.
Shen Congwen's last words in the human world: "Third sister (that is, Zhang Zhaohe), I am sorry for you." ”
What am I sorry for? I think, I'm sorry, I let this beautiful and loving relationship appear cracked, sorry I can no longer express strong love to the beautiful you. But as a woman, I can't forgive the cheating thing. Sorry is the most powerless word, not every sorry can be exchanged for a sentence that does not matter.
