"How can my parents' life be pleasing to me?" just because he was too handsome, he was chased by Bai Fumei's daughter, he and his wife were deeply in love, but they died and went crazy.
In 1911, the Chen family in Nanjing gave birth to a beautiful boy, because the mother dreamed of pigs, so they added a treasure cover to the "pig" and named it Chen Mengjia. This was revealed by himself when he became an adult, and his younger brother's name is Chen Mengxiong.
He has been a tsundere since he was a child, and his father and brother have a headache. He was admitted to the Law Department of Central University at the age of 16, and his lawyer's license was obtained, but he fell in love with new poetry all of a sudden, and despite the strong opposition of his old father, he became a student of Xu Zhimo and Wen Yiduo.
He began to publish new poems at the age of 18, and published a best-selling poetry collection at the age of 20, and since then he has written many excellent works, and a few years later, he was called the "Four Great Poets of the Crescent School" along with Wen Yiduo, Xu Zhimo, and Zhu Xiang.
In 1932, under the influence of his teacher Wen Yiduo, he began to study oracle bone inscriptions, and together with his interest, he went to Yenching University to study ancient characters, and soon published a number of academic treatises, which everyone was amazed.
Zhao Luorui, the famous school flower of Yenching University, combines the beauty and talent of her family, and looks down on Qian Zhongshu and other suitors, but she has a blue eye for Chen Mengjia, who has an outstanding temperament.
You must know that Zhao Luorui is a well-known talented woman, she is familiar with ancient poetry, good at playing the piano, is a bachelor of Yan University, a master of Tsinghua, and translated Eliot's "Waste Land" in beautiful Chinese and became famous overnight.
The elder brother was puzzled: "Why don't you look down on the young talents I introduced? Not much worse than him? Daddy and mother are not very satisfied with the surname Chen." ”
Zhao Luorui glanced at her brother and smiled proudly: "I, I just like him to look better than Pan An, and he has the style of Wei and Jin, which is in line with all my imagination of ancient celebrities, how can my parents' orders compare to my heart!"
got the love of the beauties, and the three families of A were surprised and surprised. The two talked about everything when they met, and each of them decided that the other was their soul-compatible partner.
Chen Mengjia said to her affectionately: "The crowd is looking for her thousands of times, but the Yiren are in the dim light. Zhao Luorui laughed: "The so-called Yiren's surname is Sun Duoci, and someone can't ask for it, so he suddenly looks back." ”
Chen Mengjia was shocked: "What's the matter, don't listen to other people's nonsense, I, Chen Mengjia, are the only ones in my life! I swear to the sky, the sky is falling apart, and I am unswerving!"
Zhao Luorui looked at him panicked, swearing and swearing, she was already laughing and trembling, but her heart was very sweet, and she deliberately put on a straight face and said seriously: "Then you have to always remember today's oath." ”
In January 1936, 25-year-old Chen Mengjia and Zhao Luorui got married. But because the woman's family was unhappy, the marriage was done very simply.
After marriage, Zhao Luorui taught in the Department of Spanish at Tsinghua University, and Chen Mengjia stayed in the Department of Chinese at Yanjing. Husband and wife are affectionate, I and I, I can't stop saying thoughtful words every day, and my parents slowly accepted this marriage when they saw this.
After the Lugou Bridge Incident, the two also moved south with the university. According to the school rules, only one husband and wife can stay, Zhao Luorui had to go home to wash her hands and make soup, and also worshiped Mrs. Feng Youlan as a teacher, learned cooking hard, planted vegetables and fed chickens.
In 1944, the University of Chicago hired Chen Mengjia to teach paleography, and he said to Zhao Luorui: "You just happened to go to the United States to study for a doctorate, I can't let you work so hard anymore!"
Zhao Luorui asked: "I heard you say that this time I went to the United States, mainly for bronzes?"
Chen Mengjia said: "There are many bronzes in China scattered overseas, and there are many treasures, so I want to take this opportunity to collect information about those bronzes, let the world know their existence, and let the Chinese civilization not be buried." ”
Zhao Luorui straightened her husband's clothes and said with a smile: "Let it go, I love to see you do things seriously!"
Chen Mengjia did what he said, and he visited all the private collections, museum management displays, and antique dealers that he could inquire, carefully observed, took photos and records one by one, traveled back and forth to hundreds of European and American cities, and personally inspected more than 3,000 pieces of various bronzes.
Later, it was compiled into the book "Collection of Chinese Bronzes Collected in the United States", which included 845 pieces of exquisite bronze ritual vessels, and is still a reference book for domestic cultural relics scholars.
In 1947, he couldn't wait to return to China and continued to work around for the preservation of cultural relics. Zhao Luorui did not finish her studies, and under the persuasion of her husband, she stayed in the United States to continue her doctoral studies in English and American literature.
At the end of 1948, Zhao Luorui returned to China after completing her studies, coinciding with the liberation of Beiping, many friends persuaded them to return to the United States, but the couple chose to contribute their talents to the construction of New China.
However, in 1951, Zhao Luorui's elderly father was criticized for religious issues, and Chen Mengjia and his wife were also seriously criticized for going to the United States.
In 1957, Chen Mengjia was jealous and hated because of his opposition to the simplification and Latinization of Chinese characters, his opposition to the archaeological institute's "layman leading insider", and the completion of the oracle bone masterpiece "Yin Xu's Divination Summary" and many treatises on Chinese simplified Chinese.
In 1966, the doom came, the house was raided, the husband and wife were expelled from the house and lived in the warehouse, Zhao Luorui fell ill but was not allowed to be admitted to the hospital for treatment, and the family looked at his delirious wife, desperate and heartbroken, hating himself for affecting her.
In the constant criticism, beatings, and insults every day, he had the will to die. But thinking of his wife, who had no one to take care of, he took advantage of the gap to find his old friend's widow and wanted to entrust her to take care of him, but he was caught by someone who was secretly following him and said that he had broken his shoes.
Chen Mengjia committed suicide by taking medicine that night, but the amount of medicine was not enough, and he was sent to the hospital for rescue, and Chen Mengjia, who had just been discharged from the hospital 10 days later, suffered inhuman torture again, hanged himself that night, only 55 years old, and his relatives did not even get the ashes.
They had no children in their lives, and later, under the care of her parents and younger brother, Zhao Luorui gradually improved and became a famous translator. In 1998, Zhao Luorui died at the age of 86.
She was lonely all her life, and she never remarried until she died, because the man who looked better than Pan An had always lived in her heart.
Death and life are broad, and the son is old, the Si people have passed away, and they will always be in my heart. He went decisively, he never said goodbye well, and on the day of parting, he remembered the oath he had made.
This period of the past has passed away like smoke, and looking back has become history, and examining history can alert the future and make the world better.
It is said that the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the historical sites are beautiful, the cultural relics are beautiful, and the faces are beautiful, but the beauty in this world is not as beautiful as people with pure souls.
They are patriotic, like a duty engraved in their bones, no one asked him to do it, but he did it without hesitation.
They treat others well, do not envy, do not hate, only improve themselves, pay silently, and wait until the end of life, you can see his greatness.
Chen Mengjia and his wife are such people, their souls are compatible, they love each other, so they have this affectionate love!
