In the 40s of the 20th century, China was in the final stage of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the people's minds of the whole country changed, and the dawn of the imminent victory of the War of Resistance gradually appeared. In such a historical background, the romance of Shi Jingyi, the daughter of Shi Fengxiang, the richest man in the northwest, and Jiang Weiguo, an important member of the national government, began to sprout. Shi Jingyi is not only the inheritor of wealth, but also a woman with deep education and enthusiasm for public welfare. Her family background and personal charm stood out in those turbulent times. And Jiang Weiguo, as the son of Jiang Zhongzheng's cronies, his personal fate is closely linked to the country's political direction. The encounter between the two is not only the intersection of personal emotions, but also the interweaving of the fates of the two families.
On a spring evening in 1944, in an elegant manor in Tongguan, Shaanxi Province, the Shi Fengxiang family was preparing a banquet to celebrate a small victory in the recent War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and to boost morale. The main organizer of the banquet was Shi Jingyi, whose father wanted to take the opportunity to increase the family's influence in the local area.
Shi Jingyi was wearing a simple long dress, standing in front of the window, the breeze blowing her hair, and her eyes fell on the pear blossoms blooming in the courtyard. Her mind was on the upcoming banquet, and she had some expectations in her heart.
On the night of the banquet, the stars were shining brightly, and the lights of Shi Fengxiang Manor were bright. Jiang Weiguo was invited to the banquet as an officer. Dressed in a military uniform, he was heroic and stood out from a group of officers. His eyes inadvertently met Shi Jingyi, and at that moment, it was as if two stars collided, stirring up countless sparks.
At the dance after the dinner, Jiang Weiguo walked up to Shi Jingyi and invited her to dance with a smile: "Miss Shi, can you give me this dance?" Shi Jingyi nodded lightly and followed him onto the dance floor. During the dance steps, their conversation was natural and fluid, and Jiang Weiguo admired Shi Jingyi's intelligence and independent character.
"I have heard that Ms. Shi has made great achievements in the student movement, and her enthusiasm and courage are really admirable." Jiang Weiguo said sincerely.
Shi Jingyi responded a little shyly: "These are trivial things, the real heroes are the soldiers on the front line." ”
Their conversation was interrupted by the whispers of those around them, but there was a glint of understanding and appreciation in the eyes of both men. That night, on the way home, Jiang Weiguo had already decided in his heart that he wanted to mention this marriage to his father.
Soon after, Jiang Weiguo sent a telegram to his father in Nanjing, and Jiang Zhongzheng also affirmed the matter. Subsequently, the two families began to negotiate a marriage, and the relationship between Shi Jingyi and Jiang Weiguo gradually deepened.
In 1945, the war ended, and Jiang Weiguo and Shi Jingyi held a grand wedding. After marriage, their life was full of sweetness and harmony, and Shi Jingyi became the soul mate in Jiang Weiguo's heart. The good times did not last long, and in 1950, Shi Jingyi died of illness, which brought a huge blow to Jiang Weiguo's life.
As the years passed, Jiang Weiguo remarried, and the new wife Qiu Ailun was a gentle and considerate lady, she tried her best to fill the vacancy in Jiang Weiguo's heart, but Shi Jingyi's shadow never left. Although Jiang Weiguo was grateful to Qiu Ailun in his later years, in the depths of his heart, he always pretended to be Shi Jingyi who cooked for him in the ruined temple.
Before Jiang Weiguo died of illness in 1997, his last words were that he hoped to be buried with Shi Jingyi in Liuzhangli Mountain, Taipei. Although Ellen Qiu was a little reluctant in her heart, she finally complied with his last wish. Next to the joint burial of Jiang Weiguo and Shi Jingyi, there is also his adoptive mother, Mrs. Yao Yecheng, as if to tell the world that Shi Jingyi has always been his deepest love in his life.
At Jiang Weiguo's funeral, Qiu Ailun stood quietly aside, with tears in her eyes, but with a relieved smile on her face. She knew that Jiang Weiguo's heart had finally found a home, and he would be with his beloved Shi Jingyi forever. In this moment, all love, regret and forgiveness are intertwined to form a poignant and soulful story.
Love is the test of time and an ode to life. Although the love story of Jiang Weiguo and Shi Jingyi is full of tragedy, their love spans life and death and transcends the shackles of time. In this story, we see the power of love, and people's pursuit and waiting for beautiful emotions. Their stories tell us that true love is not only a companion, but also a deep echo of the heart. In the long river of history, this love that spans life and death is like an eternal elegy, allowing us to still find solace for our souls in the hustle and bustle of reality.
