For the history of our country, we basically only know what major events have happened and what important people have made outstanding contributions.
But few of us know what the lives of these illustrious people were like.
Is it the same as us ordinary people or is there something else?
In fact, in the living conditions of most people, they are not very smooth, after all, they live in a period of ups and downs in China, domestic social chaos, ideological instability.
In our China, there is a female writer Nie Hualing, whose life can be described as very bumpy and tortuous.
Even what her mother said to Nie Hualing on her deathbed was to divorce her and leave this unhappy marriage that had made her suffer for many years.
Her mother's marriage was unhappy, and she wanted her daughter to be able to suffer all her life because of her marriage like herself, but she failed to do so.
So what happened to make her mother beg her for a divorce on her deathbed.
Today, let's walk into this article together and learn about the life of our female writer Nie Hualing.
1. Nie Hualing's mother's unhappy marriage
In 1925, China's four major warlords were divided and fought, and the country was in turmoil and full of danger.
And our famous female writer Nie Hualing was born during this period.
During this period, it was all kinds of ideas that collided with each other, and Nie Hualing's mother was a woman who received education in new ideas.
But having an unhappy marriage, only to know that your husband already has a wife after getting married, is unacceptable to someone who accepts new ideas.
And in this marriage, Nie Hualing's mother was very painful and often wanted to die, but because of Nie Hualing's young age, her mother had to give up this idea again and again.
Her mother had no way or could bear to leave the young Nie Hualing like this, so she had to live like this until Nie Hualing's father died, and all this changed.
Those who know history know that in that feudal China, it has always been the eldest lady who is in charge, and in every family, several ladies will quarrel and compete for status because of these trivial things.
The eldest lady originally had a great opinion about Nie Hualing's mother marrying in, and after Nie Hualing's father died, this was even more obvious.
Nie Hualing and her mother were often abused by the eldest lady, and her mother was unwilling to quarrel with her about anything, so after Nie Hualing grew up a little, her mother left here with her and her younger siblings and went to live in Yichang, Hubei.
Since arriving here, Nie Hualing's mother has been encouraging Nie Hualing to learn new ideas and receive new education.
Nie Hualing also knew that her mother didn't want her to have an unhappy marriage like her, and hoped that her daughter could change her life through education.
After saying goodbye to her mother, Nie Hualing went to Hubei Shengli United Girls' Middle School to study alone.
Nie Hualing was only 14 years old when she left, how much courage it takes to leave home to study at this age,
After Nie Hualing came to school, she worked very hard, but the society at that time was not stable, and we also know it. So Nie Hualing followed the school and fled around during her studies.
In such a harsh learning environment, Nie Hualing was escorted to Southwest Associated University, and was admitted to the Department of Foreign Languages of Central University with her own efforts.
At this time, our country's liberation war is coming to an end, and the life of learning on the go is finally over. Nie Hualing's unhappy marriage is about to begin, that is, in college
Nie Hualing met the man who would marry her in the future, Wang Zhenglu, and thought that she would be happy, but in fact she was not.
2. Unhappy marriage
The main reason why Nie Hualing and Wang Zhenglu met was because their thoughts and knowledge were the same.
So after the outbreak of the Pingjin Campaign, Nie Hualing gave up her job in Nanjing and came to Beiping to marry Wang Zhenglu.
Just after Nie Hualing told her mother about this, her mother expressed a little opposition, after all, Wang Zhenglu's family ideology is relatively feudal, and most of the feudal forms still exist in his family.
Nie Hualing's mother was worried that her daughter would suffer in the past and be unhappy in her marriage like herself.
But Nie Hualing's description of the process between the two of them was quite good, and although her mother was very worried, she still agreed.
After the two of them got married, Beiping had been surrounded, and Nie Hualing found out at this time that Wang Zhenglu's family was a very traditional feudal family and was fundamentally different from what he thought.
The feudal idea is very heavy, which makes Nie Hualing, who accepts the new idea, acceptable, but the two of them are married, so she has to accept it.
Here Nie Hualing has to get up to serve her mother-in-law, learn how to take better care of the family and husband, the idea of inequality between men and women is constantly instilled every day, and the mother-in-law often expresses her dissatisfaction with her, thinking that Nie Hualing's thinking is too free, and she thinks about how to get out of here every day, which is of course inappropriate for feudal thought.
But the life Nie Hualing wants is not such a feudal life, she wants to be free, she wants to be able to do her own things, instead of being stuck at home every day because of trivial things at home, for which Nie Hualing also tried to talk to Wang Zhenglu.
But Wang Zhenglu and before they got married, they thought that the two of them were very consistent in thought and spirit, but Wang Zhenglu directly became a pedantic husband in a feudal family, and his ideological realm instantly decreased a lot.
He rejected Nie Hualing's idea of going out to work. It is enough to just let her stay at home and do the housework at home, women are born to serve men, which makes Nie Hualing very disappointed.
This kind of life for a long time makes Nie Hualing very painful, and a person who wants to pursue freedom is imprisoned, which is very painful to think about.
And in the situation at that time, Nie Hualing had no chance to resist, so she had to endure it year after year.
After the peaceful liberation of Beiping, Wang Zhenglu decided to go to Taiwan to live, and Nie Hualing brought his mother with him before leaving.
After arriving in Taiwan, Nie Hualing's life can be said to have really changed, and she began to engage in some work, although this job appeared by accident but not too late.
Nie Hualing had the attitude of giving it a try, but she didn't expect to be admitted directly, so she started her literary career.
However, after all, New China had just been founded, and after the defeat of the Kuomintang, it fled to Taiwan, so the thinking here in Taiwan is still inclined to the Kuomintang.
Because the magazines of several of them were mainly about democracy, the editor-in-chief Lei Zhen was soon arrested, and Nie Hualing was not arrested for other reasons, but the Taiwan authorities sent people to monitor her and strictly banned the republication of the magazine.
3. Life begins to change
We all know that our lives will only take a turn after experiencing a big setback, and we will only wake up in the true sense.
Nie Hualing's mother passed away in 1963, and when she was dying, she was begging Nie Hualing to leave Wang Zhenglu and find the life she really wanted.
Nie Hualing also decided that she should choose her life from the moment her mother left.
And Wang Zhenglu has already left Taiwan for a long time and went to the United States, why didn't Nie Hualing choose her own life?
Just when Nie Hualing started her real life, she met a like-minded person with her, and that was Paul Angell.
Nie Hualing and Paul traveled to the United States together, and her new life really began at this moment.
With Paul's support, Nie Hualing started a bold idea of her own, which was to invite writers from all over the world to invite her to write at home.
Although Paul felt that he might not succeed, he respected Nie Hualing's choice very much, and he respected all of Nie Hualing's pursuit of freedom, so the "International Writing Project" was implemented.
As expected, there are a lot of people who come here to write, and everyone here is able to pursue what they want to write, and there is no interference or accusation.
The impact of their project was huge, and eventually more and more writers began to come to them.
Under such circumstances, Nie Hualing and his wife were jointly recommended by many countries as candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize, after all, under the circumstances at that time, there were many contradictions between many countries.
It is a miracle that Nie Hualing was able to bring them together, so it is not surprising that she and Paul were finally nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Nie Hualing's life is very bumpy and tortuous, like her mother, because her unhappy marriage has kept her in pain, unable to do what she likes, and unable to pursue the freedom she wants in her heart.
But fortunately, she later made up her mind to leave the feudal family that made her miserable, and on the way to pursue her dreams, she met a person who could really support her, so that Nie Hualing could get back on the path she wanted to take, and supported her to do what she wanted to do, bold and successful ideas.
Nie Hualing also wrote her life into a book.
It is possible for each of us to encounter things like Nie Hualing, but these things require us to make up our own minds to escape.
Pursuing our own things really makes us happy.
epilogue
After Nie Hualing's mother's unhappy marriage ended, Nie Hualing also embarked on this road because she saw the wrong person, but her free mind was in a feudal family until her mother died and advised her to leave Wang Zhenglu.
Nie Hualing's life has really begun, and she is very happy to meet someone who really understands her on the road later.
And Nie Hualing's bold idea has also been supported by many people, and it is very successful, under the influence of her own project, Nie Hualing won the award that really belongs to her, that is, the Nobel Peace Prize, which is very hard-won.
