Once you enter marriage, you face the chai rice oil and salt in real life, it is inevitable to bump and bump, and many people's marriages are even chicken feathers. So much so that some people say that marriage is the "graveyard" of love. Qian Zhongshu likened marriage to a "siege of the city": people outside the city wanted to come in, but people in the city wanted to go out.
Barkin's famous work "Cold Night" presents us with a small couple, how to go from the initial happiness to the tragic end of the final family destruction. It also tells us the heartfelt truth behind a woman's disappointment in marriage and family!

Once two people are married, marriage is no longer a matter of two people, but a matter of two families. Behind the marriage involves parents, children, relatives and other relationships, the most headache is the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Wang Wenxuan, his mother and wife Shusheng live under one roof. Although the mother-in-law is also a person who reads and reads, her and daughter-in-law Shusheng's concept of life are very different. The daughter-in-law was forced to work in the bank under the pressure of life, but she was not accustomed to her daughter-in-law dressing up every day and going to the social dance. Often did not give the daughter-in-law a good face, but also said ugly things in front of the daughter-in-law, said that the tree was a vase, said that she dated the lover of the bank, said that she had not held a marriage ceremony with her son, but was just the son's concubine.
Wang Wenxuan loved her wife very much, and her mother looked at her. The son loves his daughter-in-law more than he loves her, and Wang Wenxuan's mother is very unhappy. He often said in front of his son that some daughters-in-law's were not, saying that a woman like Shusheng could not suffer with her son for a lifetime. Wang Wenxuan was sandwiched between two women who loved her and the woman he loved, and he was in a dilemma, very hard.
When Shusheng told Wang Wenxuan that she and her mother-in-law were inseparable, living under the same roof was very embarrassing and painful, and she wanted to divorce him. Wang Wenxuan's mood fell to the freezing point, and he was extremely sad, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Wang Wenxuan and Shusheng have both received higher education, and after graduating from college, they are also full of ideals, hoping that they can start an education and do a career. However, after the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the politics of the Kuomintang region was dark. Wang Wenxuan had to work as a small clerk of a publishing house. He was cowardly by nature, timid and afraid of things, and only promised. In the unit encountered unfair treatment, will not argue on the basis of reason.
Shusheng is a woman, and he does not want to hide in the harbor of marriage and lean on the shoulder of a man. She still has feelings for Wang Wenxuan, and in the face of the temptation of the young, rich and physically able-bodied owner of the bank, her heart is also full of contradictions and struggles. It was not a pain for her to leave her sick husband, her young children. However, she saw no hope in her husband at all, let alone a future. In the end, that choice had to be made.

As a small clerk, Wang Wenxuan's salary was already pitifully low. Under the pressure of living and children's education, his wife Shusheng had to go to work in the bank and become a vase. Shusheng is young and beautiful, has a relaxed job, and has a high salary. More unfortunately, Wang Wenxuan suffered from lung disease, was physically weak, was laid off by the owner of the publishing house, and lost his source of livelihood. It was all on his wife's money to support the family.
Later, in order to get a higher salary, but also because of the disappointment of marriage and family. Shusheng abandoned his husband and son and followed Director Chen of the bank to Lanzhou. But she still sent money to Wang Wenxuan on a monthly basis and often wrote to him. Finally, she told him in the letter that she was going to find her own happiness and no longer be his wife.
When a few months later, Shusheng returned from Lanzhou and went to the place where their family used to live. Only to know that Wang Wenxuan is no longer alive, and the mother-in-law and her son do not know where to move...
The story of "Cold Night" takes place in a different historical context than today. However, the writer's thinking on marriage and family is also of practical significance to people today.
