In 1975, Ye Qianyu's "ten years of absurd dreams" finally came to an end, and he walked out of Qincheng Prison, but heard a shocking news from his daughter Ye Mingming.
Ye Mingming said: My mother took an overdose of sleeping pills and left the world 5 years ago.
Shocked, Ye Qianyu asked her daughter what she had to say before she died.
"You Ye family have hurt me so much!" This was Luo Caiyun's last words, addressed to his son.
Hearing this, Ye Qianyu felt remorse in his heart, Luo Caiyun's resentment was reasonable, but in this marriage, he struggled so hard.
Looking back at Ye Qianyu's life, although there is no name for the wind, he has also had a relationship with 5 women, some of whom are truly in love with Ye Qianyu, and some of whom are very compatible with Ye Qianyu.
Only his wife Luo Caiyun, they neither loved nor matched each other, Ye Qianyu said in his later years:
"Between me and her, there is no emotion to speak of except having children, and I abandoned her."
Without false repentance, Ye Qianyu was undisguised, and people couldn't help but ask: Since you don't love her, why marry her?
In this regard, Ye Qianyu only said: I am a freak who is hovering between feudalism and openness, and Luo Caiyun was finally abandoned and became a victim of feudal marriage, which is the evil result of my rebellious psychology.
In 1931, Ye Qianyu and Luo Caiyun
The tragedy of Ye Qianyu's marriage with Luo Caiyun was, in the final analysis, the result of feudal moral persecution, and the double squeeze of the new and old societies forced him to embark on a selfish and selfish path.
But while condemning feudal morality, it cannot but be said that it was Ye Qianyu's blindness and impulsiveness that harmed each other.
This unfortunate story still dates back to the summer of 1929, when Ye Qianyu, who was working on a painting, suddenly received a telegram from his home, and his grandmother died of illness, please return quickly.
Ye Qianyu immediately packed his bags and returned to his hometown of Tonglu, Zhejiang Province, to mourn, in that era, at the age of 22, it was the time when the family was worried about marriage, Ye Qianyu returned home this time, although it was a funeral, but he could not escape this file.

After the funeral, the second uncle called Ye Qianyu's name to his father and said, "Ah Yang is in his early 20s, and it is time to help him talk about kissing." Caiyun, a girl of the Luo family, is about the same age and has not yet married, so she can talk about it. ”
At that time, Ye Qianyu had already accepted the baptism of the new idea of "May Fourth", and had even talked about a relationship with a female classmate named Wang Wenying before, so it was reasonable that he did not look like a person who would accept the "order of his parents".
But arranged marriages do not necessarily become resentful couples, and those who love freely may not be happy, at least Ye Qianyu thinks so.
Moreover, it is said that the girl introduced by the second uncle and his own family are "door to door", the girl's father is a secretary in the Zhejiang provincial government, and the brother is a local primary school teacher.
Such a family, presumably the daughter cultivated should also be a lady of zhishu Dali, thinking of this, Ye Qianyu not only did not have a lot of resistance to this bride who had never met, but even had some expectations.

But the things of the world often do not go according to people's wishes, what you expect is what disappoints you, and in the next fifteen years of marriage, Ye Qianyu's most unforgivable thing is Luo Caiyun's "illiterate" status.
Ye Qianyu was impressed that Luo Caiyun was the most literate, and wrote "Where there are wild flowers in the family flowers, wild flowers will not grow long" to him, at that time he was in love with Liang Baibo, how ironic!
However, these were all later events, and at this time, Ye Qianyu was extremely interested in the pomp and circumstance of the traditional wedding, and this family affair was unexpectedly and smoothly settled.
In fact, in the eyes of others, at that time, Ye Qianyu's choice was somewhat of a young impulsive factor in it, but the consequences of impulsiveness had to be borne by himself, and later he did taste the bitter fruit.
After marriage, Ye Qianyu wanted to return to Shanghai to work as usual, his original intention was to let the bride stay in his hometown to serve his in-laws, but his bride was not a "soft persimmon", Ye Qianyu should have realized it at this time.
Luo Caiyun thought to himself: I am married to you Ye Qianyu, naturally I want to be with you, stay and live with my in-laws, what does it mean? Therefore, she insisted on following Ye Qianyu to Shanghai.
In order to avoid unnecessary contradictions with her daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law also supports the two children to go to Shanghai to work together, and by the way, they can also cultivate feelings.
Who would have thought that this step was wrong again, and when they went to Shanghai, they completely became a pair of "resentful couples".

The prosperity of greater Shanghai will be dazzling, some people's blood is boiling, and some people are addicted to it and degenerate.
Ye Qianyu and Luo Caiyun are such two extremes, Ye Qianyu worked hard to survive, but Luo Caiyun unconsciously learned the life style of the young grandmother in Shanghai.
The family all rely on Ye Qianyu to create comics to live, which is not rich, but also hired servants, Luo Caiyun is light, playing cards and shopping is all her life.
Ye Qianyu is a very romantic artist, after a long time together, he realized that he and Luo Caiyun are not a person of the same world at all, because Luo Caiyun's world view is: men earn money to support women.
One of her most common phrases is: "When the money runs out, take the money!" ”
Ye Qianyu always said: "Hard money is not easy to come by, save a little!" ”
1936, Liang Hakuba Gakyo
There are obviously so many things to do in the marriage, but here in Luo Caiyun, there is only money left, and Ye Qianyu did not expect that he had actually played the role of a "cash machine".
But such a tragedy was not caused by one person, because in Ye Qianyu's view, Luo Caiyun, the illiterate lady, was just a "fertility machine".
Obviously, he couldn't stand the marriage for a long time, and if a like-minded woman happened to appear at this time, then cheating was inevitable.
Liang Baibo
Liang Baibo appeared at the same time, and more coincidentally, she appeared at the same time as a comic called "Mother Flowers and Branches, Children Waiting to Be Fed".
After Luo Caiyun gave birth to the child, he insisted on not feeding breast milk, saying that he had no breast milk when he was young.
Ye Qianyu was somewhat macho, and he thought that Luo Caiyun was contaminated with the arrogant habits of the young grandmother in Shanghai, and she could not refute it.
As the saying goes, "Love The House and Wu", but once she doesn't love, then what she does is wrong, Ye Qianyu is always like this, looking at Luo Caiyun with colored glasses.
And Liang Baibo's painting just satirizes such a "young grandmother", and it is also in line with Ye Qianyu's mood, because the painting is good, and it is love at first sight, so Ye Qianyu and Liang Baibo began to communicate privately.
Two people with comic cells, who think it is a match made in heaven in each other's hearts, this Ms. Liang Baibo has the romantic feelings of the 30s, she knows that Ye Qianyu has a wife, but she does not care.
Luo Caiyun cared, she was Ye Qianyu's wife, in her heart, no woman could shake her orthodox status, and liang Baibo's appearance threatened her position.
In 1990, Ye Mingming accompanied Dai Ailian to the China Academy of Painting to visit Ye Qianyu, who was painting
A woman always has a variety of ways to deal with her cheating husband, not to mention that she also has a number of card friends to advise her.
However, this Ms. Luo's education level is not high, and her methods are not very clever, so she actually adopted the method of encircling and blocking each other, which cannot come to Taiwan and lose both sides.
Because of Luo Caiyun's desperate pursuit, the couple began to play the game of "you chase me and hide".
From 1935 to 1937, Ye Qianyu and Bai Bo lived together, and because of Luo Caiyun's tracking, they were always in a turbulent displacement.
She had sent her wet nurse to track down the adulteress, and she had also taken her father with her to force Ye Qianyu to give her an orthodox name.
Luo Caiyun was twice caught in the open and upright manner, and the underground mistress Liang Baibo could not stand it, so the result was that Ye Qianyu and Luo Caiyun signed a separation treaty.
Ye Qianyu sketched a portrait of Dai Ailian
The skin between the husband and wife had been torn, and the thin love of the day was not left at all, but even if it was to this point, Luo Caiyun still refused to divorce.
As for the reason, it is ridiculous to say, because for so many years, Luo Caiyun is proud of her status of "Ming Media Is Marrying", as long as she does not agree to divorce, anyone who is with Ye Qianyu can only be an aunt.
The title of "Aunt Wife" in the old era could not be accepted by Ye Qianyu and Liang Baibo, but it was hindered by traditional etiquette and could not be divorced, because in the old custom, unless the family rules and family laws were violated, they could not be divorced.
Moreover, Ye Qianyu always felt in his heart that Luo Caiyun had children for the Ye family, and he had the responsibility to protect them.

The girl who was looking forward to the "right door" was now only a little bit of grace for having children, Luo Caiyun was pitiful and sad in this marriage, although she did not do anything wrong, it was not all Ye Qianyu's fault.
Under the dual consideration of old and new ideas, they came up with a workaround, which was called "disguised divorce" at that time, that is, the man promised to pay a certain amount of living expenses every month, maintaining the woman's wife status, but the two separated.
This yin-yang strange situation lasted for 15 years, during which she watched Ye Qianyu and Liang Baibo go in and out of pairs, and watched him being abandoned and having a new love, but never saw him turn back.
Until 1954, under the persuasion of his son, Luo Caiyun was finally willing to go through the divorce procedures, and Ye Qianyu believed that since he and Luo Caiyun had gone through the divorce procedures, they no longer owed her anything.
Ye Qianyu sketches Dai Ailian
Ye Qianyu thought that he had taken money to raise Luo Caiyun all his life, and he was not ashamed, such a romantic artist, but he had such a vulgar idea, it was indeed unexpected.
He should understand that Luo Caiyun was dragged down by her for a lifetime, and under the shackles of feudal morality, often women were the biggest victims.
Moreover, even after many years of divorce, the harm caused by Ye Qianyu to Luo Caiyun never stopped, and during that absurd period, Ye Qianyu was hit, and Luo Caiyun was still implicated by it and was driven back to Nanjing.
When a man is about to die, his words are good, but Luo Caiyun is resenting him when he is dying, so how can he say that he does not owe it?
Luo Caiyun's marriage was unfortunate, but Ye Qianyu's marriage was not much better.
Even his daughter Ye Mingming said: The father's life is successful in his career, bumpy in life, and unhappy in marriage.
Dai Ailian's "Xinjiang Dance Music" stills
Ye Qianyu betrayed Luo Caiyun once, but was betrayed by other women many times.
At first, he and Liang Baibo were together, and the two cartoonists flew in two wings, which was envied by people at the time, but romance was vulnerable in the face of reality.
Even if Liang Baibo didn't mind that he had a family, he couldn't bear Luo Caiyun's harassment, and she couldn't wait for Luo Caiyun to agree to divorce, so she empathized and didn't fall in love.
However, Ye Qianyu's bumpy married life is not over, because there are more women who fall in love with him and then abandon him, making him sad.
In his later years, Ye Qianyu said when reflecting on his married life: Perhaps it was the "chaos and abandonment" of Luo Caiyun that led to today's "karma".
However, in the unfortunate marriage, he did find true love, although he once fell in love with Liang Baibo at first sight, but the love of the second half of his life was actually a woman named Dai Ailian.
Perhaps Ye Qianyu himself did not realize that in the sketches he left behind, Dai Ailian was the protagonist who appeared most frequently, and love often made people involuntarily think of her and depict her.
In 1933, Ye Mingming accompanied Ye Qianyu and Dai Ailian back to Tonglu, Zhejiang
Dai Ailian was an artist who knew how to dance, and Ye Qianyu did not like to be as illiterate as Luo Caiyun, so he later married artists.
The dancing of women and the drumming of men are the portrayal of the lives of Ye Qianyu and Dai Ailian.
Dai Ailian is a very good person, at least Luo Caiyun's daughter Ye Mingming thinks so, after marrying Ye Qianyu, she only raised Ye Mingming for four years, but Ye Mingming was willing to take care of her all her life, and even inherited Dai Ailian's career.
But when it comes to feelings, who can say for sure?
In 1950, Dai fell in love with the male lead of a large dance drama she was involved in directing.
"I don't love you anymore, we're divorced", when Ye Qianyu heard such words again, it was like five thunderbolts.
Wang Renmei
The results that Ye Qianyu could not accept were expected in the eyes of others.
Because he never knew how to be considerate of his wife, in order to take care of his creation, the sick Ailian Dai returned to Hong Kong alone in the chaos of the war.
He can ignore love for artistic creation, but not art for love, and since this is the case, the misfortune of marriage is doomed.
After divorcing Dai Ailian, Ye Qianyu could not come out for a long time, and this ten-year relationship, daughter Ye Mingming saw it in her eyes, she said:
"Only Dai Ailian and Ye Qianyu can truly understand each other's truest emotions."
Perhaps this is the most helpless thing in the world, the person you love deeply, but deeply love others, even if there is no helplessness, but you can only complete her.
After 6 years of divorce, Ye Qianyu walked out of this relationship and was introduced to marry the big star Wang Renmei.
At that time, Wang Renmei and Jin Yan had been separated for 10 years, and the purpose of their marriage was clear - to form a family and relieve loneliness.
Wang Renmei plays Rui Jue in "Home"
Speaking of which, Ye Qianyu and Wang Renmei spent the longest time together, but also the most bumpy, because when they were only one month after marriage, Wang Renmei proposed a divorce.
Wang Renmei said: You have machismo, I can't stand it.
Ye Qianyu said bluntly: If you don't have feminism in your mind, how can you feel that I have machismo?
Arguing with women, Ye Qianyu never wanted to show weakness, he blamed the other party's shortcomings more than himself, but unfortunately, when he realized this, it was too late.
But on the whole, at this time, Ye Qianyu is different from the past, many times in his life in love and marriage, and the people of Zaimu ne should also know how to get along, not to mention that their union has no love to speak of.
He wrote to Wang Renmei: "They are all forty or fifty years old, let each other tolerate each other instead of being wary of each other!" ”
Golden Flame
If you can get along with Luo Caiyun with such a mentality at that time, I think there will be a good result, maybe people will always know how to cherish after losing, today's Ye Qianyu is created by yesterday's tragedy.
In fact, Wang Renmei is in love with The Golden Flame, Ye Qianyu is deeply in love with Dai Ailian, each has a white moonlight in his heart, and they all have some guilt for each other, so they have spent 30 years together in peace.
After Wang Renmei's death, her daughter Ye Mingming thought that Ye Qianyu and Dai Ailian could continue the frontier, and she tried to match Dai's mother and father.
But Dai Ailian said: "I can't remarry your father, because I can't forget my first love in my heart." ”
Ye Qianyu suddenly realized that in those ten years, their Qinser and Ming were all illusions, and Dai Ailian always had a person in his heart who could not be loved.
In 1981, Ye Qianyu pushed a wheelchair for Wang Renmei
Ye Qianyu had loved Liang Baibo in this life, loved Dai Ailian, and had been with Wang Renmei for thirty years, but they were all in love with others, except for his wife Luo Caiyun, and how much they loved him hated him.
In his later years, he said that this was his retribution, but he was always unaware of his mistakes, until Wang Renmei boldly accused him of machismo and accused him of not being a good husband.
He understood that he didn't know anything but painting.
Married many times, but always play a bad role of a "husband", in the marriage love, Ye Qianyu is also an "illiterate".
