There is an old Chinese saying: "When the husband and wife are old partners", it is said that those who know each other and love each other and love each other, and go through most of their lives hand in hand, their love can only be defeated by time.
In the Republic of China, there is such a pair of Bi people, Rong Yiren and Yang Jianqing, their fate began at first sight, loyal to each other for half a lifetime, Rong Yiren is a "red capitalist" born with a golden spoon, and Yang Jianqing is a "Oriental Lady" who is gentle and elegant.
The "Oriental Lady" behind this successful man not only has to go up to the hall and the kitchen, but also Rong Yiren's diet and living she has to take care of herself, and she has been married for many years, and her husband's shoes are personally polished by her.
In the seventy years of married life, Yang Jianqing accompanied Rong Yiren to witness the rise and fall of honor and disgrace, and the woman who stood behind Rong Yiren can be said to be an obscure "hero" of the Rong family.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > love at first sight</h1>
In December 1917, with the cold rain in the fog of Jiangnan, the second daughter of the Yang family in Wuxi was born in such an ambiguous weather, the Yang family was a famous family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the ancestors were Li Hongzhang's staff, the male owner Yang Ganqing was a Wuxi gentry, he was like Qin Xiaolu who was in the alliance at that time, he had great influence in Wuxi.
Yang Ganqing named the newborn daughter Yang Jianqing, because the family is prominent and pays attention to education, so although Yang Jianqing is a girl, she has received a good education since she was a child.
The female doll who fell to the ground grew into a big girl in the blink of an eye, and the place where she studied was originally The Shanghai St. Mary's Girls' School, and later because her family did not trust a girl to leave home, the Yang family transferred Yang Jianqing's school registration back to Wuxi and continued to study junior high school in the provincial Wuxi Middle School.
At that time, Rong Yiren was also fourteen or fifteen years old, and was arranged by his family to study in Wuxi Middle School, and he would not have thought that here, he would meet this lifelong partner, Yang Jianqing.
That day, Rong Yiren and his good friend just finished eating together in Wuxi Shenxin Third Factory back to school, the two of them had a ride on the school playground walking, suddenly saw a chartered car parked in front, to know that this is a car that can only be used by rich people, the same as the current special car.
Only to see a handsome little girl coming down from the charter car, she was dressed in a plain dress, with short black hair, a smile and a smile showed ChuChu moving, and that extraordinary temperament, at a glance is a big family of Miss Qianjin.
This girl who coexisted with temperament and beauty looked rong Yiren's eyes straight, if it weren't for the friend next to him knocking him a few times, he would still be stunned there.
Rong Yiren, who returned home, has always been obsessed with the girl he met on the playground, but in fact, as "Young Master Rong", he had doll kisses when he was very young, and the girl's father was the director of flour, and he was the head of the Rong family, but because this girl died of illness when she was not long ago, so the family affair was not over.
But as Rong Yiren grew up, the people who came to the door to propose relatives over the years were about to break the threshold of the Rong family, and the matchmaker took the calculated birthday eight characters to run to the Rong family one by one, although Rong Yiren knew that the marriage of the big family must pay attention to the door to the door, but he also had to pick a person he liked within this range.
Rong Yiren's heart was loaded with the girl he met on the playground, so anyone who came back to mention the kiss was "I don't" two words, until one day, principal Shi of Jinghua Primary School next to Rong house came to Rong House with a girl's birthday eight characters to say that the media.
At first, Rong Yiren still had a resolute attitude of "I don't", but after some inquiry, he learned that the original owner of the eight characters was the girl he met on the playground that day, and it turned out that her name was Yang Jianqing, and she was the second daughter of the Yang family in Wuxi.
Prominent family, extraordinary birth, handsome appearance, or love at first sight that he met by chance, or the object that the matchmaker wanted to introduce to himself, Rong Yiren was simply happy to go crazy, such a lucky love, as if it was a kind of fate, everyone was for the two of them to meet.
Before Principal Shi left, Rong Yiren's mother's eyes signaled to him, and Rong Yiren instantly lowered his head and said to his mother in embarrassment: "Niangniang, I like this young lady."
Beautiful love even God is helping, love at first sight and the words of the matchmaker actually got the same person, two door-to-door families, a pair of handsome men and beautiful women's love, the combination of Rong Yang and the two families, at that time was once rumored to be a romantic story.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > "Lady Rong" in Xiu Waihui</h1>
In 1932, the Rong yang family settled the affair of the two children, when Rong Yiren was sixteen years old and Yang Jianqing was fifteen years old.
Rong Yiren came to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the yang family and the old couple looked at this child's appearance, Yu Xuanang, so he was also very satisfied, and the most important thing was that he and his beloved daughter were very compatible.
In the 1930s, when traditional concepts were still dominant, although Rong Yiren and Yang Jianqing had been betrothed, they could not have too much contact, so long thoughts could only be transmitted by letters.
One of the most interesting things is that Yang Jianqing's first love letter to Rong Yiren was actually written by his father-in-law Yang Ganqing, and after receiving the letter, Rong Yiren saw the full eyes of the literary text, and the pen was not bad, and then replied to a letter in the form of a literary text, Yang Ganqing saw that this young man's literary style was good, so he was relieved.
In 1936, a year before Rong Yiren graduated from St. John's University in Shanghai, Yang Jianqing just graduated from high school, and they ushered in a grand wedding.
The door is right, the man and the woman are shown, or love at first sight, such a matching love who is not envious, at this point, the naïve Miss Yang Jia'er has become Rong Yiren's "Lady Rong".
After marriage, the two lived happily and sweetly, "the male lord outside, the female inside", Rong Yiren and Yang Jianqing inherited the traditional Chinese marriage and family model, Rong Yiren inherited the family industry to work hard, and Yang Jianqing stayed in the "big rear", doing all the security work for Rong Yiren, becoming a well-known sage.
Although the Rong family has several servants in charge, as long as everything touches rong Yiren's side, Yang Jianqing will personally do it himself, so after many years of marriage, Rong Yiren's diet and living have always been personally taken care of by Yang Jianqing.
Yang Jianqing always arranges the clothes that Rong Yiren will wear the next day properly, and she is worried that the aunt at home will not be able to polish her shoes, so every night before going to bed, Yang Jianqing will do her own hands to polish Rong Yiren's shoes.
She said: "The oil for polishing shoes cannot be applied too much, nor can it be unevenly wiped, I am thin and evenly wiped a layer, so that it will not stain the trouser tube."
This Kennaisuke not only does everything about Rong Yiren herself, but as a rich lady, she is also very diligent and frugal in running the family, and she is very good at calculation.
Yang Jianqing said: "After his leather shoes are worn, he has to use the lasts every night to change and wash them, iron them, and the clothes are well maintained, so they are not wasted, so his clothes and shoes are like new, and it is enough to add one or two more pairs of shoes a year."
Born in a rich family, And married to a rich family, Yang Jianqing did not have the delicacy and luxury of Miss Qianjin, but cherished everything, helped her husband well, and ran the family, even if she was in the rich and noble Rong family, Yang Jianqing was always the woman who paid silently behind Rong Yiren.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > "Kennaisuke"</h1>
After Yang Jianqing and Rong Yiren married, it was the time when Rong Yiren inherited the family business to show his skills, so Rong Yiren fought the world outside, and everything in the family was handed over to Yang Jianqing, in the glorious business map of the Rong family, the status of women was hidden, but Yang Jianqing was the most important person in Rong Yiren's life.
In 1949, after the founding of New China, the Rong family's friends in the mall, or their opponents, all left Shanghai and moved to other places, at this time Yang Jianqing also entrusted people to rent a house in Hong Kong and planned to move, but Rong Yiren did not agree, so the matter of moving to Hong Kong was finally abandoned.
Although he did not go to Hong Kong, Rong Yiren eventually took this gentle Jiangnan woman to the cold and slaughtered north, the capital Beijing.
In 1956, Rong Yiren donated the Rong family's business empire to the state, so he was named "Red Capitalist", and in August 1959, the State Council passed a resolution appointing Rong Yiren as the vice minister of the Textile Industry Department.
After Rong Yiren and his wife settled in Beijing, Marshal Ye Jianying specifically instructed Wang Zhen to arrange for them to live in a Chinese-style courtyard in Dongcheng District, which was once Fu Zuoyi's residence.
It was in this courtyard that Yang Jianqing and Rong Yiren spent their fifty years of golden marriage and sixty years of diamond marriage, the rise and fall of the Rong family's favor, the great changes of the country, and the mutual love of half a life, all changed in the witness of the years, yang Jianqing and her husband wrote the best appearance of love together.
Once, the two met Premier Zhou Enlai at a ball at the Beijing Hotel, and Premier Zhou couldn't help but praise the Rong family and his wife, and said to Yang Jianqing:
"Your thoughts must also keep up, otherwise there should be a distance between husband and wife, you are still at home, shall I arrange a job for you?"
Soon after, someone from the United Front Work Department came to seek Yang Jianqing's opinion, and finally arranged for her to serve as the deputy director of the Family Committee of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce.
No matter how busy he is at work, Yang Jianqing who returned home is always the person who takes good care of Rong Yiren, and Rong Yiren is a "busy person" no matter what position he is in.
Yang Jianqing said: "I will arrange and deal with these trivial matters of family visits and visitors, do not let him be distracted, and follow him as much as possible in everything, so that he can be happy when he returns home." ”
To this end, Yang Jianqing also specially invited a big belly Maitreya Buddha with a smile on his mouth, placed in the living room door, Rong Yiren went home and opened the door, you can see it, in order to ease the tense work mood.
Because of Rong Yiren's work, Yang Jianqing sometimes needed to accompany him abroad, and Rong Yiren repeatedly told her to "hide clumsiness", so this elegant "Oriental Lady" often smiled at everyone, but privately she would increase her knowledge by reading books and newspapers.
In October 1979, when Rong Yiren established the China International Trust and Investment Corporation with the support of Deng Xiaoping, Yang Jianqing became Rong Yiren's personal secretary, responsible for codifying Rong Yiren's ideas and handling the company's daily affairs.
At that time, the funds of the Ministry of Finance were not in place, Rong Yiren could only raise his own funds, and after consulting with Yang Jianqing, Yang Jianqing first took out 10 million yuan from his home, and then paid 1,000 yuan out of his own pocket to buy office supplies.
During this period, Yang Jianqing not only took care of Rong Yiren in his life as usual, ironing suits, polishing shoes, and buying clothes, but also did his best to share some of rong Yiren's burden at work.
Yang Jianqing once told outsiders: "He only has the state in his heart, only the company, and he doesn't care about everything at home, he really drilled into the tip of the bull's horn, so naturally I have to share more for him, and don't let him be distracted by trivial matters." ”
At the beginning of the establishment of China International Trust Company, some people in the company were original Shanghai business colleagues to help Rong Yiren do things, most of these colleagues are more than half a hundred years old, leaving their families and businesses alone in the north to work.
So Yang Jianqing will make some southern dishes for them from time to time, and also ask someone to help them wash their clothes and clean up the house, and invite everyone to eat at home to reminisce about the past every New Year's Festival, Yang Jianqing feels that although these are some small trifles, to a certain extent, it is also supporting her husband's work.
In daily family life, Yang Jianqing is also a family leader, never because the Rong family is a big business, or Rong Yiren is in a high position and rich and luxurious, Yang Jianqing often instructs his aunt to try to be as simple as possible in diet, and the sofa cushion in the living room of the family will only wear a decent "coat" when entertaining guests, usually covered with coarse cloth.
For dress, Yang Jianqing also has his own unique set of principles, due to identity and status, yang Jianqing and Rong Yiren go abroad, the two will go to the brand-name store to buy clothing, and the clothes of the two are never worn for two consecutive days.
Yang Jianqing said: "This is not a splurge, but to show the identity of Chinese, and we spend our own money."
But those high-end costumes made from Hong Kong or abroad, Yang Jianqing, only wear them when attending major occasions, and other times they are simply reluctant to wear them.
But Yang Jianqing thought of a good idea, that is, imitation, Yang Jianqing's eldest daughter Rong Zhi and spiritual craftsmanship, mother and daughter are often doing needlework, playing sweaters, clothes as long as they look at a look can be "copy", so the children often make Yang Jianqing jokes: "Niangniang, your dress is still copied or the original." ”
This reclusive and simple "Lady of the East" in Xiu Waihui used her gentleness and wisdom to coordinate the rear of the Rong family, and behind Rong Yiren, a successful man, Yang Jianqing must be the woman who is the greatest contribution.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > born and buried together</h1>
In the living room of the Rong family, a group photo of the half-body of the Rong couple when they were young hung on the wall, Rong Yiren was not wearing glasses at that time, wearing a suit, handsome and handsome, Yang Jianqing wore a short-sleeved cheongsam, and the hair on his forehead was rolled up like a banana, which was a popular hairstyle in the 30s and 40s, which looked beautiful and moving.
Yang Jianqing said: "Over the years, many photos have been inexplicably lost, and this photo was sent by relatives and then taken
When I went to Hong Kong to enlarge it, I was left with this one when I was young. ”
The photos on the wall retain the best years of Rong Yang and the two, and with the passage of time, the two immortal couples have unconsciously spent sixty years of diamond marriage in the courtyard of Beijing, half a life of wind and frost passed, fortunately there is still each other around.
On October 26, 2005, Rong Yiren completed his legendary life before Yang Jianqing, at the age of 89, and his descendants buried him in the Shanghai Overseas Chinese Cemetery, after the death of Rong Yiren, Yang Jianqing moved to Hong Kong, and in the ninth year after Rong Yiren's death, 96-year-old Yang Jianqing died of illness in Hong Kong.
After Yang Jianqing's death, her children buried her with Rong Yiren in the Overseas Chinese Cemetery in Shanghai, and she buried her next to Rong Yiren's cemetery, just as before the two of them were born.
Yang Jianqing closely clings to Rong Yiren, and Rong Yiren always regards her as his "back", this obscure woman who has dedicated half her life to the Rong family will live with the people she was excited about when she was young, and will never be separated.
When he was a young husband and wife, Yang Jianqing accompanied Rong Yiren for most of his life, whether it was rich or bumpy, she always silently guarded behind Rong Yiren, clearing all possible obstacles for him, only for him to fight without any worries.
This kind of knowing and keeping, clinging to each other, may be the best way to love, because the entanglement is too deep, so make a wish, be born with the same, die and bury, she is in his place close to him, is the warmth that he can touch as soon as he reaches out.
