Preface
#头条创作挑战赛#
Qiong Yao, a name, a legend. In her 50-year career, she is known for her delicate writing and sincere feelings, and has written a whopping 64 novels, each of which has sold hundreds of thousands of copies.
What's even more amazing is that her novels have been adapted into more than 50 film and television dramas, among which the record for the highest rating of a single episode of a TV series has been set, and it is still standing today, and no one can shake it.
Qiong Yao, with her persistent pursuit and profound depiction of pure love, has been regarded as the "spokesperson of pure love" and "godmother of love" by countless boys and girls. Her novels and film and television dramas have built a beautiful and moving love world, which makes readers and audiences fascinated and immersed in that pure and flawless feeling.
However, the path of this creative genius has not been easy. The educational community once regarded her as a "poisonous weed" and a "public nuisance", and tried their best to boycott her works, and even for a long time, the literary critics also sneered at her and criticized her one-sidedly. But Qiong Yao did not give in, she faced the doubts and attacks of the outside world with tenacity and courage, always adhered to her creative concept, and responded to all doubts with her works.
It is worth mentioning that Qiong Yao's emotional experience is more tortuous and "Qiong Yao" than any of her novels. Her life, as if it were an extension of the story she created, was full of drama and deeply emotional entanglements. This real-life experience has undoubtedly provided a steady stream of inspiration for her creations, making her stories more engaging and touching.
A teenage girl who experiences her first suicide with her family
In the vicissitudes of the last century, Qiong Yao's family set out from Hunan, with haste and hope, and embarked on the road to Chongqing.
It was a long and arduous journey, full of unknowns and uncertainties.
Unfortunately, on the way, Qiong Yao's two young brothers go missing unexpectedly, a blow that makes the already tormented family even worse.
The social turmoil and chaos caused Qiong Yao's parents to fall into deep despair, and they once lost their confidence in life, and even had thoughts of suicide.
It was a stormy night, and her parents took Qiong Yao to a deep river, ready to end this endless suffering.
However, at the moment of life and death, Xiao Qiongyao's cry broke the silence of the night, and her tears and fear awakened the deep love in her parents' hearts.
They gave up that extreme idea and chose to move on.
In the subsequent escape process, Qiong Yao's family went through a lot of hardships and finally found their two lost brothers in unexpected places.
At that moment, the joy and excitement of the whole family were beyond words, and they hugged each other tightly and thanked God for His favor.
As time passed, a little sister was added to the family, and the four children made the love of their parents seem more precious and limited.
As the eldest daughter in the family, Qiong Yao has shown bravery and strength beyond her years since she was a child.
She understands that she needs to take on more responsibility and set an example for her younger siblings.
The second suicide of the girl Qiong Yao
This little girl, who later went by the pen name Qiong Yao, has a pair of deep and melancholy eyes, and her heart is full of unique emotions and imagination.
Qiong Yao has loved reading since she was a child, and books are not only an ocean of knowledge for her, but also a harbor for escapism.
Every time she opens a book, it is as if she has entered a whole new world, full of romance and passion that she yearns for.
Qiong Yao is a lonely child in real life.
Her classmates at school seem unable to comprehend her deep emotions and love of literature, and she is always alone on campus.
In class, she always sits alone in the corner, silently looking at the scenery outside the window, or immersing herself in the world of books.
Teachers and classmates were puzzled by her withdrawal, and even alienated her.
Qiong Yao's parents are intellectuals, and they are worried about their daughter's psychological state, but they don't know what to do.
They tried to communicate with their daughter, but they couldn't always understand her inner struggle.
Qiong Yao felt as if she was trapped in a dream from which she could not escape, and she began to lose hope in life.
Once, Qiong Yao read a sad story in literature in which the protagonist chose to leave this world because he couldn't bear the cruelty of reality.
This story deeply touched Qiong Yao, who felt that she had too many similarities with the protagonist, and began to have suicidal thoughts.
Luckily, her parents caught and stopped her in time.
Forbidden teacher-student love
In Taipei in 1957, it was early autumn, and there was a faint fragrance of osmanthus in the wind.
Qiong Yao, this name is not well-known on the campus of Taipei No. 2 Middle School, but she is always alone, silently shuttling around the corners of the campus.
On that day, the atmosphere in the Chinese class was different than usual.
Jiang Ren, the new Chinese teacher, was gentle and elegant with a pair of metal-rimmed glasses, and the moment he walked into the classroom, Qiong Yao felt an unprecedented heartbeat.
Mr. Jiang's lectures are vivid and interesting, and his words seem to have a kind of magic that can explain boring ancient texts vividly.
After class, Teacher Jiang noticed that Qiong Yao always sat alone in the corner, looking lonely.
He felt pity and decided to take more care of the lonely girl.
So, after class, he would always talk to Qiong Yao and ask her about her study and trivial matters.
This warm care is unprecedented for Qiong Yao.
As time passed, Qiong Yao developed a special affection for Teacher Jiang.
In her heart, Ms. Jiang is not only a good teacher, but also a good friend.
She longed for more care and warmth from Teacher Jiang, and Teacher Jiang was unconsciously attracted to this innocent and sentimental girl.
However, this forbidden teacher-student relationship was finally discovered by Qiong Yao's mother.
She angrily reported the matter to the school, and Ms. Jiang was expelled from the school.
Qiong Yao's high school life has also fallen into an unprecedented predicament, and she has become the object of discussion and ridicule by her classmates.
Faced with such pressure, Qiong Yao's academic performance plummeted. She took the college entrance examination twice, but both ended in failure.
During that time, she fell into deep self-blame and confusion.
However, it was during this most difficult time that Qiong Yao found her true interest in writing.
She began to pour out her emotions and encounters with the tip of the pen, turning her inner joys, sorrows, and sorrows into lines.
Her work is full of genuine feelings and quickly became loved by readers.
In her youth, Qiong Yao met him, her Chinese teacher.
He not only taught her the mysteries of language and writing, but also led her into the palace of literature.
Every word and every look he made in Qiong Yao's young heart stirred up a thousand waves.
That short first love, although it only lasted for a year, carved an eternal mark on Qiong Yao's life.
In Qiong Yao's heart, the Chinese teacher is so gentle and elegant, and his every action and every sentence reveals a profound cultural heritage.
Under his influence, Qiong Yao began to try to write, using words to express her inner emotions.
She found that only in the world of words could she have a deeper communication and empathy with her Chinese teacher.
That forbidden but wonderful relationship, like a brilliant meteor, pierced the night sky but will eventually fall.
Xiao Qiongyao and her Chinese teacher, that innocent past, like a dusty memory, with the passage of time, can only helplessly draw an eternal end, leaving behind a touch of affection that cannot be forgotten in the youth.
Three years later, Qiong Yao decided to write a novel about her and her Chinese teacher to commemorate that beautiful first love.
The creative process of "Outside the Window" is both a kind of healing and a kind of remembrance for Qiong Yao.
She integrated the affectionate past and the bits and pieces of getting along with the teacher into the words of the novel.
Whenever she felt tired or confused, she remembered the encouragement and support given to her by her Chinese teacher, which helped her regain her motivation to create.
The novel "Outside the Window" caused a sensation as soon as it was published.
People were moved by Qiong Yao's love story, and even more shocked by her delicate brushstrokes.
Qiong Yao became famous in one fell swoop and has since stepped into the ranks of professional writers.
And the Chinese teacher, after learning that Qiong Yao's novel was published, also had mixed feelings in his heart.
He recalled the days he spent with Qiong Yao, those exchanges about literature and dreams.
He knew that Qiong Yao had embarked on her literary path, and he chose to stay in the countryside and continue his teaching career.
Qiong Yao tried to get in touch with the teacher, but neither of them had the courage to meet again.
Perhaps, they all understand that that beautiful first love has become a thing of the past, and now, they each have their own life trajectories.
After the completion of the film "Outside the Window", to everyone's surprise, Qiong Yao suddenly came forward to block the release of the film due to copyright issues, and resolutely demanded that the Taiwan authorities ban the film from being released in Taiwan.
A staggering intricate litigation ensued, which lasted a year and lasted for a year.
After repeated setbacks in attempts to reconcile, the film was judged to have been filmed illegally, and the production staff were sentenced to prison, which can be said to have suffered extremely severe punishment.
For Lin Qingxia, her film debut "Outside the Window" was not able to meet Taiwanese audiences from the beginning, which was undoubtedly a big blow to her, a newcomer actor who was new to film.
Although the Taiwan authorities have banned the film from being screened in Taiwan, it has been difficult for the ban to reach markets outside the island.
As a result, Golden Harvest acted as an agent for the distribution of the film, which premiered in Hong Kong and subsequently distributed throughout Southeast Asia.
Lin Qingxia rose to fame for playing the heroine Jiang Yanrong and became the focus of attention overnight.
It is rumored that when the teacher died of illness in 1979, Qiong Yao was immersed in grief and washed her face with tears for several days.
And the turmoil caused by Qiong Yao and her first husband because of "Outside the Window" eventually led to the breakup of the two, and the love with her second husband on the premiere night of the movie "Outside the Window" is another touching story.
First marriage to a gambler
After failing the college entrance examination, the untimely death of her first love, her suicide attempt, and being forced to marry by her mother, Qiong Yao, who graduated from high school, once fell into the abyss of despair, and her life seemed to have lost all color.
However, fate always seems to like to play some unexpected jokes. When she was at her most vulnerable and helpless, 26-year-old Qingyun broke into her life like a spring breeze.
Qingyun originally came to ask Qiong Yao's father, Mr. Chen Zhiping, for advice on literary creation, but unexpectedly sparked with Qiong Yao.
Two hearts that love literature find resonance in the sea of words, they attract each other and quickly fall in love.
Although Qiong Yao's mother strongly opposed, the power of love brought them together bravely and entered the palace of marriage hand in hand in 1959.
However, the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny.
The literary and artistic youth were soon caught off guard by the trivialities and hardships of life.
Qiong Yao's contributions were quickly published in the magazine and widely loved by readers, and her novels also sold well.
However, all this caused an imbalance in Qingyun's heart. Originally noble and arrogant, he began to indulge in alcohol and gambling, and gradually lost himself.
Qiong Yao's life has fallen into a trough again, and her novel writing also reflects her inner pessimism and despair.
Works such as "On the Water Side", "Smoke and Rain", "Clover Grass", and "The Whip of Life" all reveal her helplessness in life and confusion about love.
The lover in the work is tired by life, and the heroine encounters the plight of a gambler, all of which reflect her true state of mind at that time.
The marriage finally came to an end after five years. In the meantime, the publication of "Outside the Window" became the fuse for the breakdown of their marriage.
Qingyun felt embarrassed before his wife's first love was made public, and in anger, he wrote an article in the newspaper to demean Qiong Yao.
This move completely destroyed the last emotional bond between them, and Qiong Yao made up her mind to file for divorce.
Later, when Qiong Yao talked about this failed marriage, she confessed: "It was a mistake from the beginning. Because the two people do not have a deep emotional foundation, and the time they have known each other is too short.
What's more, they are all too obsessed with writing and ignore the cruelty and complexity of real life.
Although this experience was painful, it also gave Qiong Yao a deeper understanding of the true meaning of life and love.
The most apostate second relationship
(The beginning of the second relationship is an episode of the first relationship)
In July 1961, the talented Qiong Yao bravely published her debut novel, "Lover's Valley", in the magazine "Crown".
This novel is like a bright star, shining in the sky of literature, and therefore, .
Ping Xintao greatly appreciated Qiong Yao's talent and always encouraged her to continue to use the pen as a sword to write the story in her heart.
Qiong Yao, this name, like the story she writes, is full of tenacity and independence. She is not only a talented writer, but also a woman who dares to face the challenges of life.
In her novel "Outside the Window", she skillfully weaves her own experiences into stories, allowing readers to feel the waves and tenacity of her heart.
In 1963, this novel swept the literary and artistic circles like a fresh wind, making people remember the name "Qiong Yao".
However, just when Qiong Yao's career was in full swing, her married life encountered huge challenges.
Her husband, Qingyun, was originally also an aspiring young man, but in the face of his wife's success, his self-esteem was greatly challenged.
He couldn't accept that his wife was better than him, and he couldn't accept that her reputation in the literary world far surpassed his own.
This psychological imbalance makes Qingyun gradually lose himself, and he tries to find his value in gambling, but falls into an endless abyss.
Qiong Yao and Qingyun's marriage became precarious because of this. The contradictions and conflicts between the two intensified until 1964, when the five-year marriage finally came to an end. Although Qiong Yao suffered setbacks in her marriage, she was not defeated.
Qiong Yao's last relationship is particularly shocking, because when the two have a heart-to-heart connection, they are still in the shackles of marriage, that is, the complex state of "making the king have a wife and Luo Fu has a husband".
However, once the spark of love is ignited, it is difficult to contain.
Qiong Yao has published a number of fascinating short and medium stories in the "Crown" magazine, and her talent has deeply attracted the attention of President Ping Xintao.
Ping Xintao was full of praise for Qiong Yao's work, and personally sent a letter to ask for a manuscript, encouraging her to write the story in more depth and longer.
It is with such encouragement and expectation that the touching work "Outside the Window" came into being.
With the deepening of cooperation, Ping Xintao not only cleared the obstacles for Qiong Yao's creative path with his own ability and connections, so that she could fly freely in the palace of literature, but he was also gradually attracted by Qiong Yao's gentleness and kindness.
In Ping Xintao's eyes, Qiong Yao is like the heroine of her pen, full of charm and tenderness.
As time passed, Qiong Yao gradually became attracted by this man's deep eyes and meticulous care.
Although she knew that Ping Xintao already had a family, the spark of love in her heart burned more and more.
In the love stories that flow through her pen, reason is often overwhelmed by emotion, and at this moment, she herself is deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate herself.
Ping Xintao, for Qiong Yao, is not only a discerning Bole, but also a rare confidant.
When Qiong Yao suffered marital frustration and was mentally exhausted, it was Ping Xintao who reached out to her and pulled her out of the emotional quagmire.
With his unique vision, Ping Xintao had insight into Qiong Yao's literary talent and potential value, and spoke highly of and affirmed her talent.
The relationship between the two gradually warms up, and a secret romance unfolds quietly without realizing it.
Qiong Yao, a talented female writer, is willing to bear the reputation of a "third party" for the love of her heart, even if it means that she may become a saboteur in other people's mouths.
However, deep down in Qiong Yao's heart, she firmly believes that the power of love can surpass everything. She bravely pursued her own happiness, defying the eyes of the world and the constraints of morality.
In her world, love is the supreme faith, which transcends heaven and earth, and even her own life.
However, the relationship was not all smooth sailing. Since both of them already have families, their relationship has inevitably sparked controversy and questions from the outside world.
Qiong Yao began a ten-year career as a "junior" in the entanglement of morality and emotion, which was undoubtedly the most difficult and struggling period in her life.
Many people believe that it was this experience that profoundly influenced Qiong Yao's creative concept, making her novels full of compassion and tolerance for third parties. In works such as "Deep Courtyard", "Blue Cloud Sky", "Waves", and "Crescent Moon Gege", it is not difficult for us to find the plot of extramarital affairs, as well as examples of the junior and the cheating man finally coming together.
The third suicide was for the love in her heart
Qiong Yao, the talented female writer, was willing to make shocking choices for the love of her heart. She even put forward a shocking idea: she was willing to serve this man together with Ping Xintao's original wife Lin Wanzhen.
However, Lin Wanzhen, a woman who adheres to traditional ideas, cannot accept or understand this deviant proposal.
In the face of Lin Wanzhen's refusal, Qiong Yao did not flinch.
In desperation, she, a seemingly weak woman, bravely sat on the speeding train engine, trying to gamble her life to prove her deep affection for Ping Xintao.
If this scene were to be replaced by other scenes, it might resonate and move countless people.
However, Qiong Yao's resolute action as a "third party" is undoubtedly forcing Lin Wanzhen to submit and accept the seemingly absurd marriage arrangement of "two women serving one husband".
This triangular entanglement eventually ended with Lin Wanzhen's gloomy withdrawal. It is not so much that she lost in the game of love, but that she chose to maintain her dignity and was unwilling to sacrifice her bottom line to save this unloving man.
On May 9, 1979, Qiong Yao finally got her wish and entered the palace of marriage with Ping Xintao.
This marriage, which took her ten years of youth and hard work, is undoubtedly the sweet fruit of hardship for her.
However, behind this relationship is full of controversy and sacrifice, which has become an unforgettable past in Qiong Yao's life.
The last madness of this marriage
Once, Qiong Yao weaved the love dreams of many boys and girls with her romantic and beautiful words. However, when the cruelty of real life strikes, even the "godmother of love" is difficult to resist.
That year, Ping Xintao was suddenly hospitalized with a stroke, and Qiong Yao, a female writer who used pen and ink to depict emotions, was forced to fall back to reality from the romantic clouds.
She never gave up and began the arduous journey of taking care of her husband for a long time, interpreting the deep feelings between husband and wife with practical actions.
But life's tribulations are much more than that.
Because she once intervened in other people's families, Qiong Yao was once pushed to the forefront by public opinion and carried a heavy moral shackle.
Nearly three decades have passed, but the accusations and invincibility still seem to be ringing in my ears.
At this moment, the children born to Ping Xintao and his ex-wife suddenly stood up and accused her of disliking the dementia Ping Xintao, implying that she thought Ping Xintao was no longer worth living.
In the face of such groundless accusations, Qiong Yao's heart was full of pain and struggle.
She retorted firmly: "This is a groundless accusation against me, a fabrication of facts. ”
There was an unyielding steadfastness in her voice, as if to say, "I've been taking care of your father for more than ten years, doesn't that prove my sincerity?" ”
However, the attacks of the stepchildren did not stop, which made Qiong Yao's heart gradually cool.
She wrote on her personal Facebook: "I have all thoughts now, where is the true love in the world? The relationship between me and your father for more than 50 years has become so pale and weak under your unprovoked attacks! ”
Between the lines, her disappointment in the true love of the world, as well as her deep attachment and reluctance to her husband.
Originally, Qiong Yao had the idea of pouring out this unforgettable experience of her later years between pen and ink, and wanted to record her inner turmoil in the form of words.
However, after careful consideration, she finally buried this idea deep in her heart.
Now, she has entrusted her beloved husband Ping Xintao to their children, hoping that they can replace her and give him the most thoughtful care.
Qiong Yao said frankly that she didn't dare to visit Ping Xintao again, for fear that her emotions would be like a flood and out of control.
Her words revealed a deep sense of helplessness and determination: "I was awakened by reality, and the guilt for them came like a tide, sorry for them, sorry for their mother. My life seems to have lost in this game. And I no longer have the courage to put this experience into words. ”
The emotional bond between Ping Xintao and his children is like a long stream of water, warm and eternal.
Qiong Yao knew that they would be the best companion for Ping Xintao in his later years. And she chooses to pay attention silently from afar, and give them the greatest support in her way.
Qiong Yao, a talented female writer, has been telling other people's stories with pen and ink all her life, but at this moment, she chooses to hide her story deep in her heart.
Her love and respect for her characters is not only reflected in her work, but also in her life.
She understands the emotions and struggles behind each character, just as she understands the pain and helplessness in her own heart.
This text seems to be a sad elegy, telling the deep relationship between Qiong Yao and Ping Xintao, as well as her helplessness and determination in the face of reality.
It is vivid and touching, allowing readers to deeply feel Qiong Yao's inner turmoil and struggle, causing endless resonance and sympathy.
