In 1960, at a banquet, Jiang Menglin, the president of Peking University, who was already in his old age, fell in love with Xu Xianle, who was more than half a hundred years old.
At this time, The wife of General Menglin has been dead for 2 years, and her heart is inevitably lonely and lonely, and at this time, Xu Xianle's charm still exists, and her appearance is like a bright light, which suddenly lights up Jiang Menglin's bleak heart. Jiang Menglin desperately wants to pursue Xu Xianle, only thinking of throwing herself into her "gentle township" as soon as possible.
However, what Jiang Menglin did not know was that the woman he insisted on marrying was not a good kind. Xu Xianle's bad life style has long been known, but the old principal is still in the dark, she was once the chief of staff of the Northern Expedition and the wife of Yang Jie, the former "ambassador of the National Government to the Soviet Union".
Before getting married, they were very much in love, the two were like glue, respected each other like guests, and were once recognized as model husband and wife representatives in everyone's minds. Who knows that after a few months of marriage, Xu Xianle's true face of greed for money and worship of gold was finally revealed, and he immediately swept away half of his husband's property, and then ruthlessly left his husband.
However, Jiang Menglin was fascinated by such an unbearable woman and was bent on marrying her.
Born in Yurao, Zhejiang Province, Jiang Menglin has been gifted and intelligent since childhood, and with excellent grades in high school, he is an envied person in the locals. Later, he also naturally became a well-known educator in the modern history of our country.
But the world is unpredictable! In his later years, he took the wrong path of life, and he could have spent his old age in peace and enjoyed the happiness of heaven, but he wanted to be involved with this infamous red-faced disaster water Xu Xianle. Despite the world's vision and the opposition of everyone, he resolutely developed a twilight love affair with Xu Xianle and married her into the family without hesitation.
It was this choice that changed his life in his later years dramatically. After marriage, Xu Xianle revealed the true face of a vampire and swept away the old principal's money, resulting in the tragic end of Jiang Menglin in his later years, when he was deprived of money and wealth and had no food!
In 1961, Jiang Menglin, the old president of Peking University, was about to hold a wedding with Xu Xianle, a gold-worshiping woman, without anyone's knowledge. Xu Xianle's reputation for bad manners has long been known, and after learning the news, Hu Shi immediately wrote to him to prevent this from happening.
It was just that the old headmaster had already made up his mind, and he could not listen to anyone's opinion, and he was intoxicated by his twilight love and could not extricate himself. In order to express his feelings for Xu Xianle, Jiang Menglin did not look at Hu Shi's letter and immediately tore it up.
Relatives and friends around him have also repeatedly persuaded to block this marriage, but Jiang Menglin is paranoid and obsessed. At that time, this incident caused a great reaction around Jiang Menglin, and Jiang Menglin's decision was strongly opposed by Song Meiling, Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Cheng, and other cadres.
Even though so many people intervened, he still married Xu Xianle shortly after and held a formal wedding. Everyone was dumbfounded by his decision.
But this marriage that Jiang Menglin insisted on lasted only one year, and a year later, Jiang Menglin took the initiative to propose a divorce, and bluntly criticized Xu Xianle for "being vicious in heart, insulting his children, needing to be gathered, and being disgusted with labor and poverty" What happened to make Jiang Menglin's attitude toward Xu Xianle undergo such a big change?
Xu Xianle, who was born in 1908 in Wuxi to a prominent family, has an enviable family background, and the family is full of high-level intellectuals.
The famous scientist and naval architect of the late Qing Dynasty was Xu Xianle's grandfather, who once devoted himself to science due to an accidental explosion in the process of doing experiments, and her father Xu Jiabao was employed by the Two Lakes Academy in the late Qing Dynasty and served as a technician in the War Department of the Beiyang Government during the Republic of China.
The rich and wealthy family environment enabled Xu Xianle to receive a good education from an early age and was admitted to the Department of Economics of Shanghai Guanghua University with excellent results. Her three brothers and sisters are all high-level intellectuals, because she is ranked in the family, so Xu Xianle has been pampered since childhood, and she is also a pearl in the palm of her parents' eyes.
But excessive coddling may not really be a good thing, and her personality from a pampered child is very different from other siblings, and even very different. Xu Xianle showed his obsession with money and material pleasures from an early age, and at a young age, he revealed his nature of greed for money and pursuit of pleasure.
As she grew older, Xu Xianle grew into a jade-like figure, and her appearance in the crowd always stood out. During the university period, she was even more beautiful and gorgeous, and with her outstanding appearance, she once became a school flower-level figure sought after by male students.
In an interview with reporters once, she herself recalled that she had countless suitors during her time at school.
Later, when she worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she was still recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and later worked in the Central Trust Bureau and was still a "bureau flower". Xu Xianle's beauty is also well known, otherwise it would not have made the old principal who was already over the age feel moved by love at first sight.
After graduating from college, she had a relationship with a man named Shen Daoming, and for Xu Xianle, if there was no way to meet her material needs, the end result was a breakup. Also with her boyfriend Shen Daoming, he eventually parted ways because of money problems.
Around 1937, Xu Xianle met Lieutenant General Yang Jie in Shanghai, and the two got along very happily. Yang Jie became ambassador to the Soviet Union in 1938, and in 1940 Chiang Kai-shek dismissed him from his post and finally came to Chongqing.
Frustrated in the official field, Yang Jie thought that he and Xu Xianle, the lover of Shanmeng Hai oath, were waiting for him, and after coming to Chongqing to settle down, Yang Jie got in touch with Xu Xianle.
At this time, Xu Xianle did not know anything about Yang Jie's dismissal, still thought that he was the big man who was in the limelight, and did not hesitate to go to Chongqing to marry Yang Jie. Soon after getting married, Xu Xianle quickly discovered that Yang Jie at this time was different from before, and he did not have enough money for her to enjoy and squander.
In the end, her marriage with Yang Jie lasted only a short period of 7 months, and the two were separated by Money.
Later, Lao Jiang assassinated Yang Jie, and all his remaining property was swept away by Xu Xianle, who took the money and squandered it everywhere and lived a life of debauchery.
After divorcing Yang Jie, he frequently changed boyfriends, her emotional life is very chaotic, there is no moral bottom line to speak of, living with different men but will not easily marry, because her marriage and conditions and standards are measured by money and fame.
With her outstanding appearance, she wandered among different men and cheated them out of their money, and these men were fascinated by her and willingly fell under her pomegranate skirt. When these men wanted to live with her, Xu Xianle used a cohabitation fee of 200,000 yuan as a condition, even if he did not marry, he had to control the financial power of the other party.
In that era, Xu Xianle obviously became the most popular aristocratic single woman among men, and with her magnificent appearance, he was able to live a rich and luxurious life without effort. In the end, even the president of Peking University was willing to fall under her pomegranate skirt, even though she was 52 years old, her style was still undiminished.
When Jiang Menglin, who was more than half a hundred years old, first met Xu Xianle, who was more than half a hundred years old, he fell in love with him at first sight and was determined to marry her, so he wrote the first love letter to Xu Xianle, the content of the love letter was full of praise, Jiang Menglin confessed to Xu Xianle affectionately in the love letter: "You are the most heartwarming one of the many women I have ever seen..."
Jiang Menglin's second wife, Tao Zenggu, is also very unpopular at Peking University, with a short temper and a strange personality, often contradicting others because of a small matter, and arguing with teachers at Peking University is already the norm. Fortunately, Tao Zenggu died early, which enabled Jiang Menglin to live a peaceful and stable life.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Menglin did not learn a lesson, and insisted on marrying Xu Xianle, a gold-worshiping woman who was spurned by everyone. When the teachers of Peking University learned of Xu Xianle's decision, everyone did their best to hinder the marriage, and even Hu Shi, known as "Elder Yue", made his resolute opposition.
In the "Conversation of Mr. Hu Shizhi in His Later Years", it is recorded that Chen Cheng once had a serious conversation with Jiang Menglin on this matter, and clarified his position: "My wife received a call from the first lady, Mrs. Jiang, and she was firmly opposed to the marriage between you and Miss Xu, and my wife was also very opposed to this matter. They told me to tell you that if we had to marry him, we wouldn't have to see each other again, at least we wouldn't see your wife. Jiang Menglin promised Chen Cheng in person that he would not marry her, but as soon as he turned around, he forgot all about it.
As the president of Peking University, Jiang Menglin naturally did not dare to marry Xu Xianle in a bright and upright manner, and in order not to be scolded, they secretly held a small Chinese wedding at home.
This marriage without the blessing of no one went on quietly, without the blessing of relatives and friends, without the support of his family, Jiang Menglin was like being deceived on this doomed road.
After the new marriage, Jiang Menglin thought that he had overcome all difficulties and finally married his dream lover, and from then on he would live a life of deep love and envy of everyone.
In an interview with the JoongAng Daily: Jiang Menglin said: "I believe Ms. Xu is the most suitable person for me. And Xu Xianle said in literary and artistic words: "I feel the affection of Jiang Menglin's style, and revel in the spiritual talent of this old educator." ”
When Hu Shi and peking university teachers, who opposed the marriage, saw the news, they were indignant and despised Jiang Menglin's behavior. Hu Shi was also deeply disappointed in the president of Peking University.
After marrying Xu Xianle, Jiang Menglin was complacent and thought that he had married a talented woman with great style, so he came to Hu Shi to show off to prove how correct his choice was.
He also confessed to Hu Shi that his wife Xianhui would come to see Hu Shi in a few days. Hu Shi could only shut up when he heard these words, and Jiang Menglin also said: "Xu Xianle has money, so she did not marry me for money." ”
Later, Hu Shi died of illness and did not have the opportunity to see Jiang Menglin's tragic end. Not long after Jiang Menglin and Xu Xianle got married, Xu Xianle's greed for money was exposed.
She took sole control of the family's financial power, repeatedly reduced her husband's expenses, and Jiang Menglin, who was already more than a year old, finally fell to the point where he could not even eat enough, and long-term malnutrition led to his deterioration.
Only then did he realize how stupid he was to act willfully, and although he regretted it, it was too late.
In 1962, General Menglin accidentally broke his leg because he was walking in old age. For the elderly who are already over the age of ancient, it takes a long time to recover from a broken leg, and most of them have limited mobility for most of the year.
Jiang Menglin thought that his wife, who was sick now, would probably care for her and show affection and compassion. However, his wife's cold and desperate attitude made Jiang Menglin feel cold.
In the face of her husband who was lying on the bed leg and was broken, Xu Xianle did not show any concern or concern at all, and ignored her injured husband. At this time, Xu Xianle thought about how to take advantage of her husband's illness to make a little more money for himself.
Before marriage, Xu Xianle had already manipulated and planned everything, and completely controlled the financial power of the family in his own hands.
Xu Xianle thought that Jiang Menglin should die soon, in order to reduce the cost of Jiang Menglin's treatment, she let Jiang Menglin live in the worst ward, and when Jiang Menglin was about to undergo surgery, she secretly transferred all the property under his name to his own name, even the property of Jiang Menglin's children.
And he borrowed 10,000 yuan from Jiang Menglin through his name without him during his hospitalization. At the same time, because of a small contradiction, the wife of Jiang Menglin's good friend Shen Zonghan was driven out of the Peking University dormitory.
Jiang Menglin, who was hospitalized in the hospital, was ashamed and embarrassed when he learned of what his wife had done outside, and felt that he had lost face. In order to stop the loss in time, he separated from Xu Xianle immediately after being discharged from the hospital.
At that time, Jiang Menglin was tortured by his wife to the extreme, could not sleep at night, and the long-term painful life once made his pain unbearable, described as withered.
Later, a friend saw him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
The pain in Jiang Menglin's heart gushed out in an instant, and he couldn't cry, as if his life had fallen into the abyss of eternal doom because of this wife.
He had forgotten how many nights he had been sleepless, how many times he had tossed and turned, and Xu Xianle, a vicious woman, had destroyed him in every way and trapped him in a lonely swamp where he would never be reborn.
At this time, he finally understood why everyone had done so much to prevent him from marrying Xu Xianle. But it was too late to make amends, and he could do nothing but regret it.
Overwhelmed and disheartened, Jiang Menglin finally wrote a divorce agreement with the help of her friends in order to get rid of Xu Xianle's clutches as soon as possible, and promised Xu Xianle that she would give her 3,000 yuan per month for living expenses, hoping that the two would break up peacefully.
In that era when the economy was not yet developed, 3,000 yuan per month was enough to allow Xu Xianle to live a worry-free life, but out of his greed for money, Xu Xianle wanted far more than that.
When Xu Xianle learned that Jiang Menglin was going to divorce her, she herself would not give up, in order to protect her own interests, Xu Xianle began to make a gesture in front of the media, pretending that she had no affection for her husband, and posing as a deep love for Mijian.
He also claimed in public that he still loved his husband deeply, and also exposed the love letters that the couple had exchanged before in front of the public to prove their feelings. She said that her husband was only temporarily seduced by villains, and someone deliberately wanted to sabotage their marriage, and such a shameless act was really disgusting.
Knowing that his wife was so affectionate, Jiang Menglin's heart was like ashes, and he directly exposed all the bitter water in his stomach to the public, and he told all the shameful and ugly acts that his wife had done to her: Xu Xianle often abused her family, did not allow condolences to his deceased wife, and even did not allow his daughter to live at home.
Before that, Xu Xianle had transferred Jiang Menglin's 530,000 yuan to his account, and Jiang Menglin asked Xu Xianle to return the 530,000 yuan, but how could Xu Xianle, who loved money like life, easily let go of the duck.
She just wanted to squeeze out all of Jiang Menglin's savings, and she didn't even leave him a cent for the pension money. The elderly and exhausted Jiang Menglin could not compete with xu Xianle, who was old and vicious.
After a year of divorce, the divorce lawsuit finally ended in the failure of Jiang Menglin, who compensated Xu Xianle with 500,000 yuan according to the judgment. In just two years and the 200,000 yuan given earlier, Xu Xianle defrauded 700,000 yuan from Jiang Menglin.
Love is shattered, family wealth is lost, trust is broken, and Jiang Menglin, who is full of pain and shame, has entered the time of death. In an interview with reporters, he said: "How can it be long to eat less and do a lot of work?" ”
Soon after, Jiang Menglin suffered from liver cancer and died. Xu Xianle lived to the age of 98 with the 700,000 she cheated, living a carefree life.
Who doesn't crave good love? But there are very few people who really have good love. The topic of marriage must be carefully chosen, the right person will be happy and happy in life, and the wrong person will fall into the abyss of disaster. Principal Jiang's life experience may make people feel sympathetic, and at the same time feel that he is to blame for himself.
