In that era of the Republic of China, which was full of cultural heritage, the literati were as bright as the stars, and if the talented and beautiful women were compared to a gorgeous giant ship, Hu Shi was undoubtedly the leader who led the coquettish. He was a pioneer who actively promoted the reform of classical Chinese and advocated vernacular writing, and he was also a versatile cultural giant who covered a wide range of fields, whether it was culture, history, art or music.
Although he is not a top student in his field, he is very knowledgeable and knowledgeable, both ancient and modern. As an outstanding scholar, he also served as the president of Peking University, cultivated countless talents, and was even nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
As the saying goes, heroes are with BMWs, and beauties are with them. With such an outstanding scholar, people may think that his wife must be a beautiful lady and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that she can match him. However, fate seems to have played a joke, his original wife is neither a famous lady, nor is she good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, let alone a lady, she is good at singing and dancing. She is an illiterate woman with small feet, named Jiang Dongxiu.
Jiang Dongxiu, from Anhui, although her family was once prominent, her education level is not high. She is short in stature, plump in body, and ordinary in appearance, and is by no means a beauty in the eyes of the world. Their marriage is a typical parent's order, the words of a matchmaker, and a lack of love and romance. After all, romance requires the collision of ideas and the resonance of knowledge, and these seem to be difficult to find between them.
If their marriage were placed in modern times, they might have already parted ways. However, although their early years were full of ups and downs, they lived happily in their later years. Jiang Dongxiu's unique way of governing the family is indeed amazing. Such a woman is by no means controllable by ordinary people, unless she is willing to be controlled by it.
Although Xu Zhimo and Hu Shi are close friends, their behavior and attitude towards their wives are very different. Xu Zhimo is extremely romantic and pursues to build a dream life with his wife. In order to pursue Lin Huiyin, he did not hesitate to abandon Zhang Youyi, and even chased him to Cambridge. Although Zhang Youyi is gentle and virtuous, she finally understands that she can't ask for it, so she lets it go. And Jiang Dongxiu, although she doesn't know a few big characters, she sticks to her own worldview: my husband should love me and love me, but he can only love me alone. Divorce is impossible, cheating is no way!
As a model for the people, Hu Shi is suave and suave, and always maintains the image of a saint who teaches and educates people in front of the world. He knows that his reputation cannot be tarnished, so when faced with temptation, he always subconsciously weighs the pros and cons. Is the fate of man predetermined or man-made? This may not give a definite answer. But one thing is certain: what belongs to you should strive for it, and what does not belong to you does not need to be forced. The result of forcing it often only makes you look ugly.
During Hu Shi's study in the United States, he was at the peak of his appearance, handsome and chic, elegant and elegant, coupled with his profound knowledge, which naturally attracted the favor of many women. Among them, there is an American girl named Willis, blonde and blue-eyed, beautiful and moving. The two fell in love, however, this relationship was strongly opposed by Jiang Dongxiu and Hu Shi's mother. Jiang Dongxiu was anxious and helpless, and finally could only ask Hu Shi's mother to intervene. Hu Shi was filial and soon returned to China. Soon after returning to China, he married Jiang Dongxiu on the orders of his mother, and Jiang Dongxiu finally became the wife of the Hu family.
After marriage, Hu Shi continued to teach and educate people at Peking University in Beijing, while Jiang Dongxiu took care of his mother at home, and the two lived in harmony. Although Jiang Dongxiu is illiterate, he is very courageous, spicy and capable. She once helped Shen Ying and showed her virtuous side. A year later, Hu Shi's mother died, and he brought Jiang Dongxiu to Beijing. Jiang Dongxiu entered Beijing for the first time, just like Grandma Liu in "Dream of Red Mansions" entered the Grand View Garden, and felt fresh and curious about everything. Hu Shi took her to visit celebrity friends, listen to music and drink tea, and go out to listen to lectures, this kind of life Jiang Dongxiu had never experienced before.
However, the good times are always short-lived. Hu Shi has a new love, and it is actually Cao Chengying, the bridesmaid when Jiang Dongxiu got married. The two live together in Yanxia Cave in Hangzhou, walk together on the broken bridge of the West Lake, see the lotus flowers full of leaves, red and green reflect each other, listen to the legend of the Fahai does not let go of Xu Xian, the story of the white lady's angry water flooding the golden mountain, walk into the famous mountain ancient temple, and see the Lingyin Temple under the legend of Jigong. Their lives are as enviable as fairy couples. However, this secret love affair was finally discovered by Xu Zhimo, who visited Hu Shi, and soon spread throughout Beijing. Hu Shi wanted a divorce, but Jiang Dongxiu threatened him with fierce means to make him succumb. Armed with a knife, she threatened to kill his two children first, then kill him, and then kill herself. Faced with such a threat, Hu Shi cherished his reputation and finally chose to give in.
For a cultural person like Hu Shi, the spicy method is often more effective than convincing people with virtue. One thing drops one thing, and the brine points to the tofu. Although Hu Shi's life has experienced glory and downfall, no matter how the circumstances change, Jiang Dongxiu has always been with him and always by his side. Companionship is the most affectionate confession, and the love between them may not be a good match, but it is the most affectionate.
Many people know that Jiang Dongxiu has a hobby, that is, playing mahjong. She rubbed mahjong just like Hu Shi wrote, and accompanied her throughout her life. Hu Shi was deeply distressed by this, but there was nothing he could do. Moreover, he greeted each other with a smile, and said to Jiang Dongxiu with a smile every time, it's okay, it's okay to play, and even, he plays with Jiang Dongxiu! Each of us is a complete individual, if a person is willing to change for you, it is really love you, because no one will change for a person for no reason. That's the embodiment of love to the depths.
Like is presumptuous, but love is restraint. Hu Shi cheated on Wei Liansi, Jiang Dongxiu restrained himself and tolerated Hu Shi. Jiang Dongxiu played mahjong every day, Hu Shi restrained himself and tolerated Jiang Dongxiu. Therefore, two people are not born with a suit, and the real fit is the acquired run-in with each other.
In 1962, Hu Shih died of a heart attack in Taiwan. Jiang Dongxiu was very sad and tried his best to sort out Hu Shi's cultural collection, so that future generations could see a more real Hu Shi. Thirteen years later, Jiang Dongxiu followed Hu Shi. Who is more important than love or marriage?
Love loses to marriage after all, because love is only a momentary romantic episode, and marriage is the end of a lifelong romance. After many years, I understood why those who always said they wanted to marry and marry those who were in love. Because she thinks that the love she doesn't like is not a good match, but they don't know that often those that are not a good match are the most affectionate.
