author:Depth speaks of history

Liang Shiqiu, a titan of the literary world, has been with his wife for 47 years, during which they have been close to each other and have a strong relationship. This relationship once made the children of the Liang family extremely envious, but less than a year after the original partner died, Liang Shiqiu frantically pursued young actresses and wrote more than 90 love letters for her in two months.

Liang Shiqiu's wife was named Cheng Jishu, and the two were united by the orders of their parents and the words of a matchmaker. Liang Shiqiu, full of new ideas, did not like arranged marriages, which he considered to be a feudal remnant.

But in the introduction of his family, he learned that Cheng Jishu had a bumpy life, but he still insisted on studying, and he couldn't help but admire and pity him a little more.

Liang Shiqiu, who prides himself on being a new youth, is still unwilling to follow the old path of feudal marriage even if he has changed his opinion of Cheng Jishu, so he thought of a way - take the initiative to understand Cheng Jishu, and if possible, let the two fall in love freely!

In this way, they slowly got to know each other through telephone calls and letters, gradually got acquainted and got along slowly, to walk together, and then to appreciate the lotus together. They did not pursue all the things that "love" should have, but their feelings quietly grew in such company.

The relationship deepened with time, but the parting came. In June 1932, Liang Shiqiu graduated from Tsinghua University, and he decided to go to the United States for further study. The two agreed to get married when Liang Shiqiu returned from school.

Three years later, Liang Shiqiu returned. He rented a small house, cleaned up and decorated it for a long time, and when everything was arranged, he wrote a letter to Cheng Jishu: "The new house is fully furnished, only the bride is owed." And just like that, they got married.

Ten years later, in 1937, the Lugou Bridge Incident occurred, and Beiping fell.

Because of his patriotic reputation, Liang Shiqiu was on the blacklist of the Japanese army, and if he did not leave quickly, his life would soon be in danger. However, his parents were old and his children were young, and it was impossible for his family to move, so in desperation, Liang Shiqiu went to Sichuan alone to take refuge. That's six whole years.

There are old and young, the situation is turbulent, and the lover is separated, but for six years, Cheng Jishu has always protected this family well. In 1944, Cheng Jishu took the child to find Liang Shiqiu, and the family was finally reunited again.

Four years later, the couple wanted to take refuge in Tianjin, but because the railway was blown up, the two separated again. Eventually, the family moved to Taiwan to settle down.

In these partings and reunions, Cheng Jishu all showed tenacity and strong heart. When he went to Tianjin for refuge, Liang Shiqiu took the child to go first, and Cheng Jishu could not leave at the same time because of family affairs. As a result, the railway was later destroyed, and Cheng Jishu could not leave Beiping at all, and Liang Shiqiu hesitated at this time, not knowing whether to go home or continue to Tianjin. Cheng Jishu firmly urged him to leave, it was his wife's love, firmness and support that allowed him to take care of his children with this affection and strong spirit.

When translating The Complete Works of Shakespeare, Liang Shiqiu earned a meagre income for decades, and no one appreciated or encouraged him, but it was Cheng Jishu who supported him materially and spiritually, and when his first reader, he bound the translation for him and recognized his dedication.

Writer Bingxin once said: "The translation of Shakespeare's Complete Works should be half attributed to Mrs. Liang!"

Liang Shiqiu himself also sighed countless times: "If it weren't for Ji Shu's determination and support, I wouldn't dare to accept this job easily." "A large part of a person's success in his career is because he has a good wife in his family."

After spending most of their lives together, Liang Shiqiu and Cheng Jishu went to the United States to raise their lives together. The two often walk hand in hand, and this picture is warm and beautiful. Even their children couldn't help but write in the book that they were "jealous" of these two elders.

However, an accident took away Cheng Jishu, leaving life and death between the two.

Liang Shiqiu, who lost his partner, wrote a long memoir "Dream of Huaiyuan" to remember his wife who has been with him for decades.

"I was like a tree, and suddenly there was a thunderclap, and the electric fire destroyed half of the split trunk, and there were still half of the trees, branches and leaves, or, or, but the business was over."

It is estimated that no one expected that Liang Shiqiu, who had a deep love for his deceased wife and intended to be in the same cave after death, fell in love at first sight with a female star 28 years younger than himself because of the publication of "Huaiyuan Dream Memories", and launched a crazy pursuit.

He expressed his heart bluntly, and the gushing emotions appealed to the end of the pen, and he wrote a love letter of more than 200,000 words. The affection contained in the words is no less than "Huaiyuan Dream Memory".

At this time, it was less than a year since Cheng Jishu's death.

Liang Shiqiu's move was fiercely opposed by students and his family, and newspapers published daily articles attacking the relationship between the two. But Liang Shiqiu, who is in his 70s, still forges ahead and insists on coming according to his own wishes.

The woman Liang Shiqiu likes is Han Jingqing, a Taiwanese movie star. Han Jingqing was born in a wealthy merchant family, and although she is in the entertainment industry, she has a good understanding of literature, is proficient in English and drama, writes her own lyrics, and has her own column in the newspaper.

As a literati, Liang Shiqiu saw Han Jingqing, like seeing a life confidant, and since then he has frequently confessed to the other party.

Liang Shiqiu, who had always insisted on writing in the morning, simply gave up the habit of writing in the morning in order to see Han Jingqing, and waited downstairs to Han Jingqing every day until Han Jingqing opened the curtains and saw him, and the two went to the house to talk.

Han Jingqing experienced two marriage changes at that time, and his attitude towards love and marriage became more pessimistic, and he was concerned about the huge gap between their age, status, fame, etc., so he rejected Liang Shiqiu. She said, "If I can, I'll be a matchmaker for you!" Liang Shiqiu replied to her: "I love the red lady!" ”

Then Liang Shiqiu insisted on writing a letter to Han Jingqing and must deliver it to her personally. After a long time, Han Jingqing wrote his first reply, to the effect that he should understand his personality as soon as possible and break off his thoughts as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, Liang Shiqiu, who received a reply, continued to write love letters every day, and in about two months, he actually wrote more than 90 letters.

These letters and actions finally moved Han Jingqing, and under the attack of public opinion, the two were together. In 1975, they married without anyone witnessing, when Liang Shiqiu was 72 years old and Han Jingqing was 43 years old.

Bingxin and Liang Shiqiu met in the early years, and they exchanged ideas with each other in literature, but when she learned the happy news of Liang Shiqiu and Han Jingqing's marriage, she did not evaluate it too much, although her heart was conservative and unacceptable, she still chose to respect, and only said: "He still failed to pass this level."

Han Liang's marriage lasted 12 years until Liang Shiqiu died at the age of 84. After that, Han Jingqing never remarried. After her death, she left all her property to Liang Shiqiu and the children of her ex-wife.

Ex-wife Cheng Jishu gave a lot in the relationship between the two, when people were still there, Liang Shiqiu and her supported each other, people left, mourned, Liang Shiqiu quickly fell in love with others. Such actions attracted a lot of abuse, and in the face of these voices, Liang Shiqiu once responded: "I am just a mortal, I want feelings, I don't want to become a Buddha, I don't want to become a saint." ”

A word of love, should it be light or heavy? Should I not forget it, or should I love each other when we are together, and live my life well after separation? Who can say which of these ideas is right and wrong?
