If you have not heard of Gu Cheng, then you must have heard such a poem: The night gives me black eyes, but I use it to find the light!
Yes, the author of the poem is the protagonist of this article- Gu Cheng.
His hat, cut from old jeans, later became his distinctive icon.
Gu Cheng was born in Beijing in 1956 to an intellectual family.
His father, Gu Gong, wrote many novels, plays, and poems when he was young.
Under the influence of his father, 6-year-old Gu Cheng began to show talent.
At the same time, the family also found that he often squatted alone in the corner to play with ants, he did not like to play with his companions, and even in the case of outsiders, he would secretly hide aside.
But at that time, his parents did not take his unsociable too seriously, and his father even thought that Gu Cheng, who should have reached the age of school, could also cultivate this son into a talent without going to school.
Sure enough, when the 13-year-old Gu Cheng officially published poetry for the first time, his literary talent, especially in poetry, showed amazing talent.
As Gu Cheng's poems were published more and more, their influence grew, and his father began to feel proud of his son.
But gradually he found that Gu Cheng, who was already an adult at this time, still revealed a strong childishness in his poems, and even very negative.
At this time, Gu Chengqing was high and pretentious, he could no longer listen to his father's advice, and Gu Gong knew very well in his heart that he could no longer influence Gu Cheng.
In 1979, at the age of 23, Gu Cheng met the love of his life, Xie Ye, who was three years older than her. Since then, this relationship has been both a fate and a robbery.
In fact, when Xie Ye's parents first met Gu Cheng, they had suspected that he had a mental problem. Helpless to check the results came out: he was all right!
In 1983, Xie Ye brought his admiration and love for Gu Cheng, and the two entered the palace of marriage.
Although life was very poor at the beginning, both of them felt extremely happy, and they were hand in hand, like glue.
At that time, Xie Ye was also immersed in the honeypot of marriage, and she often told her friends that her love with Gu Cheng was unique, and she would constantly tell her friends about her happiness.
Even at that time, friends around her once regarded her marriage with Gu Cheng as the noblest ideal of love.
However, two people have been together for a long time, and even the best feelings cannot withstand one party's long-term dependence and control over the other party.
Gu Cheng's self-care ability is very poor, so all the big and small affairs after marriage are taken care of by Xie Ye.
Not only that, Gu Cheng, who has a strong dependence on Xie Ye, did not allow Xie Ye to leave his sight when writing, because he wanted to "see her smiling face as soon as he looked up." ”
At first, Xie Ye, who loves Gu Cheng deeply, also enjoyed this life in particular, and she thought that this was a manifestation of her husband's deep love for herself. She quit her job and has since become the "nanny" behind him.
This life lasted until the early 1980s, when Gu Cheng's fame grew louder as a large number of poems were published.
In 1985, The 29-year-old young writer Gu Cheng was officially recognized as a member of the Chinese Writers Association.
Subsequently, he began to be invited to Western Europe and Northern Europe for cultural exchanges and lectures, during which Time Xie Ye accompanied him.
When they arrived at New Zealand's Whitewater Island, they were instantly captivated by the stunning scenery and slow-paced life, and the couple decided to settle here.
However, this isolated pastoral life soon underwent earth-shaking changes with the crystallization of their love.
At first, Gu Cheng did not want this son. He thought that his son's nightly cries disturbed his writing and made him restless.
In the end, there was no way, forcing Xie Ye to send his son who was not born long ago to a local family for foster care.
For this matter, Xie Ye has always felt guilty about his son in his heart. At this time, she began to discover that there was a rift in the marriage between them.
Gu Cheng is not only a "giant baby" who needs to be done for him in everything, but he also has no sense of family responsibility.
Xie Ye, who was exhausted by his heart, thought of Li Ying at this time. A woman who had cried in front of her and expressed her admiration for Gu Cheng.
Although they have now settled in New Zealand, gu cheng and Li Ying have always had correspondence, and she knows it.
After some thought, she made a crazy decision to do everything for Li Ying, buy a plane ticket, and invite her to come to New Zealand to live with them.
Originally, Xie Ye thought that Li Ying came to their lives to share some pressure for her, who knew that he had become a superfluous person for a while.
Li Ying would flirt with Gu Cheng in front of her, and even ask Gu Cheng to hand her a towel when she was taking a bath, this kind of naked temptation in the open and in the dark, soon made Gu Cheng physically and mentally obsessed.
At this time, Xie Ye began to wonder if he had made a wrong decision.
However, it didn't take long for an incident to officially push Gu Xie and the two into the abyss.
In early 1992, Gu Cheng and Xie Ye were invited to Germany for a visit and exchange, and this time they left Li Ying at home in New Zealand.
Unexpectedly, when they returned to New Zealand, they found that Li Ying was married to someone else.
Originally, Xie Ye thought that they could finally return to a normal couple life, but to her surprise, her husband Gu Cheng had a mental breakdown, and he could not accept this fact.
Just as Xie Ye was struggling to help her husband get out, another man appeared. His name was Big Fish, Xie Ye's suitor.
This man is completely different from Gu Cheng, he understands life and has fun.
And when the two are together, he will arrange everything in an orderly manner, and there is no need for Xie Ye to worry about it at all.
In this tired love run, Xie Ye was completely tired at this time, and she decided to run into the arms of the big fish.
Soon, Xie Ye's abnormality was discovered by Gu Cheng.
He had not yet come out of the reality that Li Ying had left, and this time he was even more violent in the face of Xie Ye's betrayal.
Gu Cheng hit her for the first time, during which he also strangled Xie Ye's neck with his hand.
After this incident, Xie Ye's heart was even firmer when he decided to leave Gu Cheng with his son.
In early October 1993, they began divorce negotiations, and on the other side, Big Fish was ready to fly to New Zealand to pick up Xie Ye.
At this point, the tragedy has quietly staged. On the 8th, it was the day that Xie Ye was about to leave Gu Cheng, but before she could leave, she collapsed in a pool of blood.
And her husband, Gu Cheng, after marrying his wife, also chose to marry his own life at the age of 37 on a nearby tree.
No one could have predicted that this initially enviable marriage would end in such a tragic end.
If the Gu family could have noticed his mental illness when they first focused on cultivating their genius son, then there would certainly be no tragedy.
And Xie Ye, if she hadn't been suppressed all along, how could she have made the ridiculous thing of personally arranging for a woman to share her husband with her?
In this tragedy, they are both victims and they are all the initiators. Unfortunately, everything is not if!
