One day in December 1915, Xu Shen, the richest man in Haining, Zhejiang Province, was in full bloom. This day was the day of the big wedding of the grand duke of the Xu family, after three rounds of drinking, relatives and friends were rushing to the cave room, at this time a subordinate person ran to Xu Shenru with a panicked face and said: "No, the big young master is running!" ”
This young master was Xu Zhimo, the great poet of the Republic of China, who later became famous, and the reason for the escape was simple, he was not satisfied with this marriage.
All this has to start two years ago, when Xu Zhimo was studying at Hangzhou Middle School. Once, Zhang Jiazhang, secretary general of the Zhejiang Governor's Office, came to the school to inspect the work, and accidentally saw an article in the board newspaper, which was brilliant in literature and had the demeanor of everyone.
The head of the school told him that the author of this article was still a student, and Zhang Jiaxuan was even more admiring and couldn't help but meet this talented teenager.
When the 16-year-old Xu Zhimo was called over, Zhang Jiaxuan looked at it, and the young man looked handsome, which could be described as beautiful and talented, and he could not help but have a heart of love for talent.
Remembering that there was a 13-year-old sister in the family, Zhang Jiaxuan transformed into a moon elder and directly matched her sister xu to the talented teenager in front of her. What he didn't know was that the tragedy of his sister Zhang Youyi's life began at this moment.

As soon as he returned home, Zhang Jiaxuan sent someone to the Xu family in Haining to propose to him. Xu Shenru inquired, this Zhang family is also a famous and prestigious family, Zhang Jiaxuan brothers and sisters 12 people, several of whom have reached adulthood have a very large influence in both political and business circles, and the Zhang family has formed a family, the Xu family is a high climb, Xu Shenru can not ask for it.
When Xu Zhimo was told that he had already been married, he was very unhappy, the Republic of China, and even the talk of arranged marriage?
However, Xu Zhimo was not too excited, just asked the family for the woman's photo, after seeing the photo, he suddenly changed his face and blurted out a sentence: "Rural buns." ”
It can be seen that Xu Zhimo's opposition is not to arranged marriages, but as a Yan control, he cannot accept that his wife is an ordinary-looking woman.
Even if Xu Zhimo is dissatisfied, two years later, 15-year-old Zhang Youyi still married. On the day of the big wedding, Xu Zhimo used "disappearance" to resist, making Zhang Youyi lose face.
His arms could not twist his thighs, and it was not long before Xu Zhimo was found by his family and forcibly escorted into the cave.
Although she was snubbed by her husband, Zhang Youyi did not complain, she was filial and obedient to her in-laws, and kept the Xu family up and down in an orderly manner, and others could not find a single fault, and when it came to the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, she was always full of praise.
Xu Zhimo and Zhang Youyi took a group photo
Everyone in the Xu family was very satisfied with Zhang Youyi, but Xu Zhimo could not accept her. In order to escape this life, Xu Zhimo immersed himself in hard study, and was admitted to Peking University the next year, and went to Beijing alone to study.
In 1918, Zhang Youyi gave birth to Xu Zhimo's first child, and soon after Xu Zhimo got the opportunity to study in the United States, he went to the United States without looking back, and after getting a master's degree, he went to the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom to continue his studies.
Xu Zhimo has been studying outside for many years, ignoring his wife and children, his parents can't look at it, what is the perennial separation of the two children? Xu Zhimo was strongly requested to take Zhang Youyi to the United Kingdom to accompany him to study in order to cultivate the feelings of husband and wife.
However, when Zhang Youyi traveled thousands of miles to England, she found that Xu Zhimo had already fallen in love with another woman, this woman was called Lin Huiyin.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="70">2</h1>
In 1920, the 17-year-old Lin Huiyin followed his father Lin Changmin to England. Lin Changmin is a good friend of Liang Qichao, and Xu Zhimo is a student of Liang Qichao, who is also in a foreign country, and has this relationship, Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin soon became acquainted.
As one of the four beauties of the Republic of China, Lin Huiyin looks like a flower and a moon, and Xu Zhimo, president of the "Appearance Association", fell in love with her at first sight, but Lin Huiyin was more cold there, after all, Xu Zhimo is a person with a family, even if Lin Huiyin is interested in him, he does not want to become a third party.
Xu Zhimo knew the crux of the matter, so he planned to file for divorce with Zhang Youyi, but Zhang Youyi told him: "I am pregnant." ”
This sentence upset Xu Zhimo, and he blurted out: "Don't give birth, the child should be killed quickly." ”
Zhang Youyi never expected such words to come out of Xu Zhimo's mouth, and she bit her lip: "I heard people say that beating a fetus will kill people." ”
Xu Zhimo was a little impatient, and said coldly: "There will be dead people by taking the train, don't everyone take the train?" ”
Then Xu Zhimo proposed divorce, Zhang Youyi naturally did not agree, in a foreign country, she was pregnant again, once Xu Zhimo left her, she was unaccompanied.
Xu Zhimo did not get the answer he wanted, he chose to run away easily, hid in London, and left Zhang Youyi alone in Shaston, until she gave birth to a child, Xu Zhimo did not appear.
Zhang Youyi and the child
Zhang Youyi knew that Xu Zhimo's heart had already flown away, and after giving birth to the child, she signed a divorce agreement. Xu Zhimo, who had regained his free body, was extremely excited, and he could finally legitimately pursue the "goddess" Lin Huiyin.
However, he was happy too soon.
Lin Changmin is very angry when he finds his precious daughter entangled with Xu Zhimo, he admires Xu Zhimo's talent, but he cannot accept letting his daughter be a stepmother for other children. With a fierce heart, Lin Changmin returned to Beijing with Lin Huiyin.
Lin Huiyin was gone, and Xu Zhimo's heart also followed, and he missed Lin Huiyin day and night. In 1922, Xu Zhimo gave up his upcoming doctorate and went to Beijing.
When Xu Zhimo returned to Beijing, he learned a news that made him despair, Lin Huiyin had established a relationship with Liang Sicheng, the son of his mentor Liang Qichao, and no matter how xu Zhimo was stalked, Lin Huiyin was not moved.
Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng
In the face of the insult of abandoning his wife and abandoning his son, but in exchange for such a result, Xu Zhimo wanted to cry without tears. Fortunately, this painful day did not last long, and two years later, Xu Zhimo met another of the four beautiful women of the Republic of China, Lu Xiaoman.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="71">3</h1>
In the spring of 1924, the Indian literary giant Tagore visited China, accompanied by Xu Zhimo, during which tagore's 60th birthday coincided with Tagore's 60th birthday, and the Chinese side attached great importance to it and held a grand birthday party for him.
Tagore visits China
Xu Zhimo met Lu Xiaoman at this birthday party, Lu Xiaoman was a famous social flower at that time, dancing was her best skill, and some important dance parties in China were indispensable to her figure.
Xu Zhimo fell in love again, and fortunately, Lu Xiaoman also had a good feeling for Xu Zhimo. It is reasonable to say that the talented and beautiful people are interested in each other, and this time Xu Zhimo should be able to hug the beauty back.
Lu Xiaoman
But the problem is that Lu Xiaoman already has a master, her husband is The Army Major General Wang Geng, and more importantly, Wang Geng and Xu Zhimo have a good relationship.
This time Xu Zhimo is in trouble, he has already been a scumbag who "abandons his wife and abandons his son", and then robs his friend's wife, and it seems that it is not very good to pass it out, and this friend has a gun in his hand, and if he is not good, he will be killed!
To Xu Zhimo's surprise, Wang Geng was really his good friend, and in the process of pursuing Lu Xiaoman, Wang Geng actually sent him a "god assist".
Wang Geng
Coincidentally, Lu Xiaoman and Wang Geng are also victims of arranged marriages, and their interests and living habits are completely different, and their married lives are not harmonious. Lu Xiaoman likes to hang out in various social occasions and sing and dance all day, while Wang Geng prefers a quiet life, so most of the time, Lu Xiaoman attends various dances alone.
Since knowing Xu Zhimo, Lu Xiaoman seems to have found a confidant, they are all fans and ticket friends, the two joined the ticket friends association, often watched plays and acted together, and the relationship between them is getting better and better.
Wang Geng this person does not understand the fun, he has been busy with the career, every day is thinking about how to promote, whenever Lu Xiaoman wants to let Wang Geng take her out to play, Wang Geng directly refused: "Let Shima accompany you to play." ”
Wang Geng did not know that the two of them had already had feelings for each other, only when they were friends with common topics, so they were assured and bold to let Lu Xiaoman and Xu Zhimo play together.
Of course, Xu Zhimo would not be polite, Wang Geng had spoken, how could he refuse the kindness of his friends, so he fought with Lu Xiaoman even more fiercely.
By the time Wang Geng reacted, it was already too late, and Lu Xiaoman was determined to divorce, and even if her mother strongly opposed it, she could not stop her determination. In order to divorce, Lu Xiaoman and Wang Geng's lives were only quarrelsome, and in September 1925, Wang Geng finally signed the divorce agreement.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="72">4</h1>
Lu Xiaoman and Xu Zhimo are both people who have been divorced once, and none of them are optimistic about their union, and Xu Zhimo's parents are angry. Abandoning one's wife and abandoning one's son is already a deviant thing, and now it is really insulting to step into someone else's marriage and marry a social flower.
Xu Shenru clearly told Xu Zhimo that if he married this social flower home, he would not want to get a copper plate inheritance, and all the money of the Xu family would be left to Zhang Youyi and her children.
All this did not stop Xu Zhimo's determination to be with Lu Xiaoman, in 1927, they held a wedding in Beijing, and invited Liang Qichao to be a witness, but Liang Qichao scolded Xu and Lu when he read the testimony, Xu Zhimo was even more scolded by the dog bloody head, the whole wedding scene was extremely embarrassing.
Liang Qichao
After the marriage, Xu Zhimo took Xiao Man back to his hometown in Haining, and this trip made the entire Xu family jump. The Xu family is an old-fashioned big family, there are many rules, and Lu Xiaoman, who is my own way, does not care about this set at all, and even dares to call out to his in-laws.
Xu Zhimo's mother was angry when she saw Lu Xiaoman, and in her heart, there was only one daughter-in-law, that is, Zhang Youyi of Zhishu Dali. She repeatedly complained to Zhang Youyi that Lu Xiaoman spent a lot of money, such as ink must be Beijing's ink, handkerchiefs must be foreign handkerchiefs, eating and wearing, all kinds of luxury.
Since Lu Xiaoman passed through the door, Xu Shenru's two sons were tortured to death, and Xu Zhimo, who was sandwiched in the middle, really had no choice but to take Lu Xiaoman to Shanghai.
In Shanghai, Xu Zhimo's ear roots are clean, but new troubles have come, Xu Shenru said that if he does not give money, he really will not give money, and all the expenses in Shanghai must be thought of by Xu Zhimo.
Lu Xiaoman never refused to aggrieved herself, even when she arrived in Shanghai, she lived in a small detached house, and the family also hired a driver, a cook, and a maid, and the cost was like flowing water. In order to support his wife, Xu Zhimo had to work hard, taking classes at five or six universities at the same time, even going to schools in Beijing.
Once busy, Xu Zhimo has no time to accompany Lu Xiaoman, Lu Xiaoman is not a person who can withstand loneliness, Xu Zhimo is not at home, she will go out to play. Every day, I get up at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, freshen up and go out for a big meal, attend various dance parties or theaters in the evening, and sometimes go to the casino to play all night.
After a long time, something has happened. At a ticket friend activity, Lu Xiaoman met another ticket friend, Weng Ruiwu, who was a big player, and since Lu Xiaoman knew him, he had played even crazier.
Xu Zhimo did not expect that what happened to Wang Geng in those years would actually be staged on his own body.
At that time, Wang Geng was busy with his career and did not have time to accompany Lu Xiaoman, so Xu Zhimo took advantage of the loophole. Now Xu Zhimo is busy with work, so that Weng Ruiwu has exploited the loophole, and what is worse, Weng Ruiwu is still an addict, and under his influence, Lu Xiaoman also smoked opium.
Weng Ruiwu and Lu Xiaoman
Infected with this thing, it is a bottomless pit, and even the most solid family cannot afford to build it. Soon Xu Zhimo was in debt, because the two of them were quarreling as soon as they met.
In November 1931, Xu Zhimo returned to Shanghai from Beijing, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Lu Xiaoman lying on the bed swallowing clouds and vomiting fog, Xu Zhimo once again tried to persuade her to quit smoking, followed by a quarrel, and at the end, Lu Xiaoman directly smashed the smoking gun, and Xu Zhimo's lenses were smashed.
In a fit of anger, Xu Zhimo went out with his suitcase and returned to Beijing, and he never came back.
On November 19, Xu Zhimo's plane crashed in Jinan, the plane was destroyed and killed, and the talented poet Xu Zhimo completed his life at the age of 36.
In order to pursue the so-called true love, Xu Zhimo disregarded the opposition of his family and the public opinion of society and abandoned his wife and children. However, after going through twists and turns, he did not find true happiness, and even paid for his young life.
Marriage without love is certainly not happy, but only love does not have the wisdom to run a marriage, and there is no happiness at all.
