Mao Yisheng, a well-known expert in the field of bridge construction, is now widely known for a relationship entanglement that amazes the world. At the age of 93, he walked the last journey of his life, and before he died, he had a small wish: to see his children for the last time. Unfortunately, none of the six children showed up, and the funeral scene was deserted, with only outsiders present. As a "national hero", how could he fall into such a situation? Let's find out why.
Life is always difficult to control, and a happy marriage is often accidentally intervened and turned sour. Mao Yisheng and Dai Chuanhui, who are the "right people", had a good time in the first few years of marriage. Dai Chuanhui is not only a beauty, but also a famous lady, familiar with poetry and etiquette, and has a well-behaved temperament that makes her husband love like a treasure.
Who knew that the good times would not last long, and for the sake of career development, Mao Yisheng had to go to the United States to study. The wife shouldered the burden of the family alone, and was stressed year after year, and finally suffered from mental illness. After returning to China, Mao Yisheng experienced his wife's illness and hoped that she could get better in the company of her family, but how could she shirk her job? He had to take his wife and children to rely on each other, but he couldn't stay with him for a long time.
As fate would have it, in 1933 he was given command of the Qiantang River Bridge project. The outside world questioned this, who would have thought that a bridge could be erected on the Qiantang River, where huge waves are raging? There are many dangers, and Dai Chuanhui is very opposed. However, the husband has made up his mind, and the wife can only hope for Mei to quench her thirst, fearing that if something happens, it will be a catastrophe. Unexpectedly, her worries were realized, and as soon as the bridge was completed, it was breached by the Japanese army, and her husband's hard work for several years was blown up with her own hands. In addition to grief, the couple fled Hangzhou with their children and lived in Nanjing temporarily.
In the years that followed, they lived a poor and ordinary life. Just when everyone thought that this stability could last forever, a new girl, Quan Guiyun, disrupted the original arrangement. Compared with his wife, who has more experience but is in her prime, Miss Kwon is lively and cute, showy, and the pursuit of new ideas, how can she not make her husband in the prime of life fascinated? In a moment of madness, the husband lives with his lover, and his wife and six children are abandoned.
While young people are open to the trendy relationship, traditional women can't understand cheating. Dai Chuanhui almost collapsed, and the children hated their father so much that they never saw him until the last moment. After Mao Yisheng died, only his lover and illegitimate daughter were by his side, and the door was deserted and miserable.
It's a pity that this once majestic bridge building expert has been in a situation where he was once displaced and his wife was separated. The collision of tradition and modernity is vividly reflected in him. Even if we take a risk out of curiosity to try something new, we should think twice before we go too far. Otherwise, they will still repeat the mistakes of the past, lift a stone to shoot themselves in the foot, and sigh again and again. May the deceased rest in peace and have a good journey.
