Preface
In the emotional world of ancient literati and writers, who would never have looked forward to encountering an encounter of "mountains and rivers meet bosom friends".
Since ancient times, there have been many talents, just like the Northern Song Dynasty poet Zhang Xian married an 18-year-old concubine when he was 80 years old, and was ridiculed by his friend Su Shi when he wrote poems, and the famous painter Zhang Daqian also married an 18-year-old wife when he was 90 years old.
There have been old husbands and young wives like this since ancient times, although there is an age gap between the two people who love each other, but love is regardless of age.
Just recently, another "grandson love" was staged in reality.
The 86-year-old well-known artist Fan Zeng posted that he wanted to enter the palace of marriage again, and his new wife was 50 years apart from his age.
Everyone has infinite curiosity about this old husband and young wife, who is this Fan Zeng, who can still hold a beauty at the age of 86?
posted a post late at night announcing the fourth marriage
Fan once called himself "the first great master of 500 years", because every painting he made was often in the tens of millions, and every auction he founded was full of people, and he was already worth hundreds of millions.
He is also known as China's contemporary Confucianism, a master of Chinese studies, and a master of calligraphy and painting, at the age of 86, he has already had a bumper harvest of money, fame and fortune.
But he didn't choose to enjoy his old age in peace, and on April 10, he pushed himself to the forefront.
It can be seen from the copywriting that Fan Zeng's wife Nan Li passed away in November 2021, and it has been three years since then.
The death of his wife made Fan Zeng very painful, causing him to lose even the interest in painting during that time, and once fell into a low period of life.
Fortunately, Ms. Xu Meng cared for him, often encouraged and explained him, and accompanied him through that dark period, and the two also had a friendship with each other in this long-term companionship, and wanted to work together for the rest of their lives.
It's just that Mr. Fan Zeng didn't reveal too much information about his wife, we only know that her name is Xu Meng, and she is a very elegant, young, beautiful and temperamental person.
Since Fan Zeng said in the copywriting that Xu Meng has given him a lot of help in his career, Xu Meng must also be a very talented person, two people have the same three views, the same hobbies, and a common topic, and it is only natural that they can finally come together.
The loss of his wife in old age was a big blow to him, and Mr. Fan Zeng could meet his life partner who took care of him again in his later years, and we should bless him.
It's just that there are still some gossips about their love, and many netizens speculate that the woman has other plans.
These public opinions have a nose and eyes, and we can't help but worry about whether Fan Zeng really met love again?
Because his first three marriages were not very successful, this will inevitably make us suspicious of his fourth marriage.
Three marriages
In 1938, Fan Zeng was born in Nantong, Jiangsu, during the Japanese invasion of China, the family's property was sold, only a few thousand books remained, Fan Zeng's childhood only had books, and all he could do every day was to swim in the ocean of books.
Influenced by his father, he developed a strong interest in art, and when he was young, he liked to "smudge" in the vast world, and after going to middle school, he won the title of "Nantong Little Painter", so that he has been persisting on the road of painting.
When he was 19 years old, Fan Zeng found that he was extremely fast at memorizing, even to the extent that he could memorize things, and his mentor was unwilling to waste his talent and let him study the history of various countries, which made him take a keen interest in history.
In order to better develop these two talents, he made a lifelong decision to transfer to the Department of Art History of the Academy of Fine Arts.
In this regard, his mentor Wu Tingying regretted that "China may have one less excellent historian and one more excellent painter." ”
It was there that he met his first first love, Lin Xiu, a famous poet, scholar and calligrapher, who soon married through a shared hobby.
It's just that Lin Xiu has a solid family background since he was a child, has a strong temperament, and has a strong independence in life, which also leads to cracks in the lives of the two, and the relationship gradually fades, and when they are about to graduate, they finally choose to leave each other.
Fan Zeng was not disappointed for too long, because a classmate who had been secretly in love with him for a long time appeared by his side, Bian Baohua is also an excellent painter of fine brushwork, she admired Fan Zeng very much, Fan Zeng was also moved by his affection, and entered the marriage hall with her.
Unfortunately, their marriage did not last forever, and Fan Zeng met a woman who haunted him, which also hurt his second love and friendship at the same time, because he fell in love with his friend Xu Zunde's wife Zhang Guiyun.
In order to win Zhang Guiyun's heart as soon as possible, Fan Zeng began to go in and out of his friends' houses frequently, and the two started an underground relationship.
At the same time, Fan Zeng also ushered in his unstoppable career upward period, which can really be described as a double harvest of career and love.
In order to give his favorite woman a name, Fan Zeng decided to end their twenty-year love run with Bian Baohua, and at the same time married his third wife Zhang Guiyun.
After marriage, the two lived a sweet life and lived a good life of mixing oil in honey, and Zhang Guiyun even changed his name to Nanli.
Such a happy life came to an abrupt end three years ago, when 82-year-old Nan Li died, and Fan Zeng's three loves came to an end.
A controversial fourth marriage
It took three years for Fan to get out of the grief of losing Nan Li, and Xu Meng must have put in a lot of effort during this period.
They must have gone through a lot of hardships to finally determine each other's hearts, after all, true love is against all odds.
Many netizens feel that their twilight couple cannot go long at all, and they are simply irresponsible to each other.
In fact, we can also look at this problem from another angle.
When Mr. Fan Zeng posted, he only said her name Xu Meng, and no other news was leaked, which is not a kind of protection for her, because Mr. Fan Zeng knows how many rumors will be caused once this matter ferments on the Internet.
He could have avoided making this matter public, but he didn't do it, but chose to post a high-profile article, just because he was a person who valued love and righteousness, and he didn't want Xu Meng to be wronged with him.
Things turned out to be as he expected, and the comment area had mixed reputations, but fortunately, he didn't reveal too much news, so that Xu Meng could still find a clean place.
He chose to remarry three years after losing his wife, neither damaging the interests of others nor occupying the country's resources.
I don't know if you still remember the theoretical physicist Yang Zhenning, who can be compared with Newton and Einstein?
It is no exaggeration to say that among the scientists who are still alive, his talent has allowed him to make great contributions to the world.
And Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan are 50 years old, and they came together without hesitation with a disapproving vision, and now the husband and wife have been married for more than 20 years, and they have already achieved a good story.
Today's Yang Zhenning is 102 years old, still energetic and living a happy life.
We have to believe that their love will be the same as Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan, go to the end together, and become a pair of beauties that everyone praises and envies.
epilogue
We should pay more attention to their good side, rather than staring at their emotional life.
I hope that Mr. Fan Zeng can bring us more and better works, and what do you think about this?
