Fifteen years ago, Shudi, a 23-year-old queen of Hebei, fell in love with Li Guisheng, who was 63 years old. This love, which many people are destined to be short-lived, has come together because of the like-mindedness of both sides. After marriage, they brought poetry and paintings into the spring, swept away the long winter, and the art sublimated their love: she risked her life to give birth to a child for her husband, and he painstakingly stored his love for his wife in another world...
In the spring full of art, "forgetting the year" opened the "Weng Yang Love"
In March 1998, Li Guisheng received a love poem that surprised and frightened him immensely: If I were a flower / I would be destined to open only for you / If I were a bright moon / I would be sure to shine for you / If I were a god / I would rather change a butterfly to fly around you / If I were a white cloud / I would stop and cover the sun for you with poisonous flowers / If I were a breeze / I would definitely send shade to you in the summer / If I were a piano / I would compose a beautiful chapter for you / But I am nothing / So please forgive me.
At the age of 63, Li Guisheng, whose family lived in Qiu County, Hebei Province, was a member of the Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Association and the Chinese Poetry Society. In December 1995, he retired from the position of general affairs director of Qiu County No. 1 Middle School. In January 1997, she divorced due to the discord between the husband and wife.
The poet was the Queen Shudi. Wang Shudi was born in 1974 with a bachelor's degree and is an engineer at China Coal First Construction Machinery General Factory. Li Guisheng knew Wang Shudi in Qiu County. In 1992, Li Guisheng led Wang Shudi and other students to participate in the poetry recitation competition held in Handan City, and Wang Shudi stood out among many contestants and won the gold medal in one fell swoop. Since then, he has paid more attention to Wang Shudi, and in addition to his normal teaching and puzzle solving, he has often guided her to write according to the spirituality of her literary creation. With his help, Wang Shudi published a number of literary works on different topics during his school years. Wang Shudi's artistic cells are very extensive, and she also learned the art of paper-cutting with her grandmother, and her works are colorful and exquisite.
In July 1993, Wang Shudi failed the college entrance examination for the first time. At that time, she gave up the revision due to family poverty and other reasons. After Li Guisheng learned of the situation, he went to the school leader and stated Wang Shudi's artistic expertise and family situation, and suggested that her review fee be exempted. Just when Wang Shudi was depressed about not being able to return to school, she received a letter from Li Guisheng that the school exempted her from review fees.
In July 1994, Wang Shudi lived up to Li Guisheng's expectations and was admitted to the Hebei Mining Institute. In August 1998, after graduating from university, Wang Shudi entered the General Factory of China Coal First Construction Machinery. In the meantime, every time Wang Shudi wrote a poem and prose, he had to send it to Li Guisheng for revision, and Li Guisheng did not tire of repeatedly revising it word by word until he was satisfied.
Holding this love poem, Li Guisheng did not know how to be good for a while. In the past, he received Wang Shudi's revised articles, all of which were accompanied by text messages from his creation and requests for revision, but this time he did not, which was obviously a love confession poem. In the face of love, he hesitated and remained silent. It is not that the love poem did not pluck his silent love strings, in his eyes, Wang Shudi is a kind-hearted, gentle personality, very cute girl, and her extraordinary talent makes him move. But he did not dare and could not accept this feeling, because he was already an old man with a flower armour, and Wang Shudi was in the cardamom age, and he was 39 years older than the other party. Besides, when he divorced, in addition to calligraphy and painting, he left the house and all the property to his ex-wife, and now that he has no fixed home and lives on a pension, how can he give Wang Shudi a comfortable and safe home?
After the love poem was sent, Wang Shudi counted the days with her fingers, but the emotional ark full of sails could never get the signal to start. When sending this love poem to Li Guisheng, Wang Shudi was also hesitant. When her feelings are stirred, it is Li Guisheng who comes into view, not only grateful to Li Guisheng for helping her study, but also Li Guisheng's versatility, enthusiasm for helping others, willing to dedicate, and courageous and responsible personality charm. She has liked Li Guisheng for many years, but she knows that Li Guisheng is a family person, and she does not dare to think otherwise, but can only be regarded as the most beautiful scenery in her heart, turning it out in the middle of the night to reminisce, and then entering sleep with a sweet smile. Last year, when she was at a gathering with her high school classmates, she learned that Li Guisheng was divorced, and now she lives alone, and her long-suppressed feelings suddenly erupted like a volcano, and at that time, she had the desire to find Li Guisheng and confess her obsession with him for so many years. Suddenly a thought like a cold wind blew her sanity, and she couldn't help but secretly think, she likes Li Guisheng, but does he like himself? After several times of tossing and turning, she poured out her deep love for Li Guisheng into the text and sent it to Li Guisheng as a stepping stone for love.
Wang Shudi in the anxious torment, half a month, January passed, but never received a reply from Li Guisheng, she gave up the shyness of the woman, plucked up the courage to write a love letter directly to Li Guisheng, expressing her most sincere love.
During this time, although Li Guisheng remained silent about Wang Shudi's love poems, his heart was churning like a sea, and Wang Shudi's voice and smile, radiant words and exquisite paper-cutting art always hit his concentration. Prior to this, Li Guisheng experienced two marriages, and the main reason for the breakdown of the marriage was that he was obsessed with calligraphy, painting and poetry creation, and ignored the existence of the other party, making the feelings increasingly cold. After the dissolution of his second marriage, there were also many people who introduced the object, but after asking the other party about their interests and hobbies, they politely refused, and he was afraid of repeating the same mistakes. But rejection is not not a desire for marriage, he hopes that in the vast sea of people can meet a like-minded confidant, and just when he is discouraged, Wang Shudi's love poems fly in, he and Wang Shudi are not just a pair of like-minded people who are painstakingly pursuing and looking for?
Wang Shudi's love letter completely stirred Li Guisheng's emotional heart lake, and she thought, since Wang Shudi truly loves herself and she has similar interests, why not accept this feeling? However, Li Guisheng hesitated at the thought of it, and he wrote a letter to Wang Shudi: "It is impossible for us to achieve a marriage at a very different age, and even if we get married, we will face many problems that plague life, such as opposition from both families and worldly resistance." Besides, I'm a poor and homeless person, you don't want to be impulsive on a whim, you have to be calm and calm again..."
Soon, Li Guilin received a reply from Wang Shudi: "This decision was not formed by me in one and a half days, but after repeated thinking, please accept my unrepentant, unrepentant, heartfelt love..." Wang Shudi also brought out Sun Yat-sen and Song Qingling, Lu Xun and Xu Guangping, Xu Beihong and Liao Jingwen and other characters who had forgotten their love for many years to persuade, and she also attached a self-written poem "Remembering Jiangnan" at the end of the letter:
Little Confidant / The Most Difficult to Find in the World / Fortunately a Confidant in this Dynasty / Two Hearts Can't Bear to Be Separated Again / Companion Jun Yong This Heart.
In the face of such a woman who dares to love and dare to do, full of talent, Li Guilin put away all her worries and restraints, and the love in her heart spilled out:
"Searching / Foraging / Going through twists and turns / Walking all over the north and south / Tasting enough sour, sweet and bitter / Weathering the wind and rain / In the vast sea of people / Finding a close confidant / Only because of similar tastes / Forget the age difference / Only because of the heart / Breaking through the feudal barrier / You are like a flower in the sky / Deeply embedded in my heart / Frost never withers / The wind can blow away."
Once the prelude to love is opened, the feast of feelings is colorful. The love poems of the two have sprung up like mushrooms, and the love words of the two are like waves. Love brings two hearts of different ages closer together, and sparks splash from time to time.
Risking death to give birth to a child, the crystallization of love shines a lifetime of feelings
One day in early September 1998, Wang Shudi took advantage of the weekend to visit Li Guisheng, just as Li Guisheng rolled up his sleeves to wash his clothes, looking at her lover's clumsy and tired sweaty look, and her painful tears rolled around in her eyes. Without saying a word, she put down her belongings and grabbed the laundry basin, complaining: "Your hands are used to create art, and washing and cooking will not waste these hands?" ”
On this day, Wang Shudi mentioned the marriage again, but he was still gently postponed by Li Guisheng, for a simple and realistic reason: vigorously loving a scene is already satisfied, he is a lot older, can he live in the world for a few days? Shudi cannot be brought into the limited marriage ring.
Wang Shudi punctured Li Guisheng's mind, she said: "Love must have a perfect ending, if it goes on like this, in the future you are gone, leaving me with only lifelong regrets." “
Under the urging of Wang Shudi' step by step, Li Guisheng agreed to get married, but marriage is an insurmountable threshold for them.
Wang Shudi's parents and brother had long heard that she and Li Guisheng had contacts, but they thought it was an exchange of knowledge, and they never thought about who would fall in love with whom. When they suddenly heard Wang Shudi say that they wanted to marry Li Guisheng, they were immediately confused, and then they strongly opposed it. Wang Shudi's parents saw that they could not persuade their daughters, so they asked people everywhere to propose relatives, and soon, the matchmaker introduced a "Diamond King Old Fifth" with a villa and savings to Wang Shudi, who fell in love with Wang Shudi at first sight, paved the way with money, and launched a fanatical pursuit. In fact, Wang Shudi, who is both talented and has superior conditions, has no shortage of suitors around her, but the love she is looking forward to is not prince charming who has a prominent position, a lot of money and comes out of the romantic jungle, she wants a confidant who can be like-minded, touch the heart, and have a heart to heart. Therefore, Li Guisheng was the only choice she wanted to love, and she wrote a poem to express her wish for the "Diamond King Lao Wu" and said: "If you are right for this poem, come after me again." The other party tore her poem to pieces, leaving a "neurotic" to leave.
After forbidding her daughter to communicate with Li Guisheng and other means, seeing that she still could not stop her daughter's "confused" love, Wang Shudi's parents directly found Li Guisheng, and when they met, they said "big brother", and then mocked and sarcastically said: "You are already a person who has entered the loess soil, don't waste our daughter, accumulate virtue before death!" Finally, he forced Li Guisheng to withdraw from this unrequited love.
When Li Guisheng's "would-be parents-in-law" interfered in their marriage at the beginning, he also thought of giving up this relationship, so he deliberately went out to hide, and Tried to let time consume his relationship with Wang Shudi. But since his "disappearance", Wang Shudi has been haunted all day, looking for him everywhere, and almost lost his job for this reason. He couldn't bear to watch Wang Shudi suffer emotional torture, plus he also endured the pain of cone-like renunciation, so he secretly thought to himself: Everything is left to fate.
After Wang Shudi found him, he complained that he did not have the demeanor of an elder, was timid and cowardly, and did not dare to love or hate. Wang Shudi's courage to chase love and his unswerving spirit infected him, and he and his beloved made a vow: "This life and this life will never be separated." ”
Therefore, despite wang shudi's parents' threats and Wang Shudi's brother even wanted to beat him, he did not withdraw from the agreement with Wang Shudi.
It seems that it is not possible for Ming Media to marry, and Wang Shudi secretly took out the household registration book from home. On January 8, 1999, the two went to the Qiu County Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the marriage registration procedures, and the staff saw that the age difference between the two was too large, afraid that Wang Shudi would be lured by the man, and out of a kind heart, she let her inform her parents. The parents did not dare to let them come, wang Shudi and Li Guisheng had to go back and open the unit introduction letter, which went through the marriage registration procedures. A few days later, Li Guisheng invited colleagues from the school to set up several tables of banquets, and although the wedding was absent from Wang Shudi's mother's family, the lively atmosphere did not diminish at all. On the night of the cave room, although the window of the rented house was not sheltered from the wind, the window flowers cut by Wang Shudi with happy characters and Mandarin duck patterns reflected the room red, and the two exchanged love poems. Lying on the bed, Li Guisheng had a long talk of love, and he said to his beloved wife: "I will go a day before you, but I insist on staying with you for one more day and making every day wonderful." ”
The news of their registered marriage was soon known to Wang Shudi's family, who went to the door to ask questions and forced the two to go through divorce procedures. Li Guisheng knows what he is rational and moves with affection. Wang Shudi's family saw that the rice had been cooked for the two people, and it would not help to continue to make trouble, so they had to acquiesce to their marriage, but declared that they would cut off contact with Wang Shudi.
Walking into marriage, you have entered real life, can you extend the romance and passion before marriage? Wang Shudi pursues the romance of art, and stepping into marriage is equivalent to her stepping into the temple of art. During the day, she laid out paper and ink for her husband, and then sat on the side, watching Mr. Writing and Painting, Mr. Dragon Flying Phoenix Dance, Wind and Bone Calligraphy and Magnificent Paintings with Magnificent, Flowing and Free, which fascinated her, especially the paintings of Loofahs and poultry hanging under the shed painted by Mr. Wang, which often made her love it. At night, in the clean courtyard, under the gentle breeze, the two brew a cup of tea, admire each other's poetry works, or use the objects in front of them as the title of poetry, and when good words emerge, they often laugh in the moonlight.
They are husband and wife, but also mentors and friends. Wang Shudi was not willing to be a guest of Mr. Wang's calligraphy and painting art, she also lifted the pen, let Mr. Hold his hand and splash ink, when idle, she also stood by the window, repeatedly copying Mr. Wang's font. Under the guidance of Li Guisheng, Wang Shudi's art of calligraphy and painting has made great progress. For some time, Li Guisheng's clumsy hand also held the scissors, shouting for his wife to teach him to cut paper. In June 1999, Wang Shudi's birthday, Li Guisheng got up early in the morning, sat in the courtyard and quietly cut paper, and after a while, he cut out a realistic portrait of Wang Shudi.
Holding this special birthday gift from his lover, Wang Shudi was overjoyed and drooling.
Wang Shudi also wants to give a gift to his beloved, to give birth to a white and fat child for him, so that love is perfect. But it was too difficult to get this gift, because Li Guisheng was already a 65-year-old man. Wang Shudi did not give up the ethereal hope, as focused and persistent as Mr. Cut His Birthday Present. She asked the doctor how couples like them could conceive a child. Doctors are blunt: scientific research shows that a man's ability to make his wife conceive declines with age, a man around 40 years old will reduce his wife's ability to conceive by 70%, and your husband's ability to conceive at this age has been reduced to very little, which depends on your creation.
Wang Shudi was not discouraged, and according to the doctor's instructions and the introduction of the recipe, he decocted the medicine and boiled the soup to enhance Mr. Wang's physique. At the same time, she also took her husband to beautiful scenery and other places to sketch, so that the body and mind can be relaxed and intoxicated.
Temperature melts ice, and love can touch the sky. In June 2000, Wang Shudi went to the hospital due to ill health, and after a diagnosis and detailed examination, the doctor said that she was pregnant.
This surprise came too suddenly, leaving Wang Shudi helpless. When Li Guisheng heard the news, he burst into tears and grew old, which was something he had never even thought about. After the joy, Li Guisheng had more responsibility to take care of his wife. Since then, he began to take care of his wife meticulously, although sometimes he was unable to do so, and the lovely warmth was like a trickle, nourishing Wang Shudi's heart.
Maybe this happiness came too extravagantly, and the disease of jealousy crept in. When Wang Shudi was 20 weeks pregnant, she had malignant symptoms such as increased blood pressure, headache and dizziness, vomiting, lower extremity edema, proteinuria, etc., and was urgently sent to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Handan People's Hospital. Doctors recommend immediate induction of labour, as if the pregnancy continues, it is easy to cause heavy bleeding in the womb and endanger the life of the pregnant woman.
Just when Li Guisheng was about to sign the operation notice, Wang Shudi refused, and she tightly guarded her stomach and said: "This may be our only child, I will give birth to him even if I take a life." ”
Li Guisheng dissuaded: "At this point, your life is greater than everything, don't think about it so much." ”
"No, children are the bond of our feelings, can sublimate our love, we can not live without children, otherwise we will leave regrets." 」
Wang Shudi's colleagues and friends heard that she was going to risk death to give birth to a child, so they rushed to the hospital and tried to persuade her to listen to the doctor's words and do induction surgery, but despite their exhausted tongue, Wang Shudi still insisted on her own opinion.
At the moment of fate, Lucky once again patronized Wang Shudi. After a period of treatment, her pregnancy reaction was controlled and her condition gradually improved.
On January 5, 2000, Wang Shudi gave birth to a daughter and named her Li Kerong.
Bloody storage of love, true love for an indefinite period
His wife risked his life to give birth to a child for him, and this true feeling deeply touched Li Guisheng, and he loved his wife even more. After his daughter fell asleep, he stood at the head of his wife's bed and recited the poem written to her over and over again: Cloaked in dew / Greeted by a piece of light / Stepping through the vast sea of flowers / Picking up a wisp of fragrance / Instantly this wisp of flower soul / Transformed into a thousand lines of poetry / How much love is condensed in the sentence / How much true feelings flow between the lines / Read a wonderful poem / Like drinking a cup of jade liquid Jelly / The verse melts the beauty of the flowers / The poetry line floats with the fragrance of the flower / Ah / Picked / Not just a flower / Not just a fragrance / Took a piece of the poet's true feelings / took the poet's fiery heart..." The husband's affection, He swept away the pain of Wang Shudi's son, and a sweet smile rippled on his face.
Although Wang Shudi's parents were dissatisfied with her forcibly marrying Li Guisheng and once cut off contact, blood was thicker than water, and family affection was difficult to give up, and they were worried about their daughter. In fact, when they first interfered in their daughter's marriage, it was also so that their daughter could have a good home and live a happy life, and now they learn that their daughter and son-in-law have never had a red face after marriage, always respect and love each other, fly with wings, live happier than anyone, and all resentment is relieved.
On the third day that Wang Shudi gave birth to her daughter, her parents bought a lot of mother and baby products to visit. Li Guisheng personally cooked a sumptuous meal, and the family gathered together, and the warm words washed away the prejudices of the past.
The mother-in-law is the son-in-law who hurts the most. After Wang Shudi's maternity leave expired, his mother was afraid that her son-in-law would take care of Li Kerong overwork and exhaust his body, so she stayed in the Li family to help, and she raised Xiao Kerong to be white and fat, and Li Guisheng was very grateful.
After the marriage of Li Guisheng and Wang Shudi after the "seven-year itch", the emotions are not tired and tired, and the unremitting pursuit of art makes their daily life fresh. In addition to poetry, they also diligently discuss the art of calligraphy and painting. Under the cultivation of Mr. Wang, Wang Shudi's calligraphy and painting have also made great progress, and his calligraphy has the wind and bone of Li Guisheng's font, and has its own dexterity. Handsome, the image of the peony she painted is realistic and rich. In addition to learning the art of paper-cutting from his wife, Li Guisheng also taught his wife to use the computer. Wang Shudi took some of her husband's calligraphy and painting works into pictures and posted them in his QQ space, which attracted many netizens to appreciate and evaluate.
In September 2009, after his 74th birthday, Li Guisheng felt that although his spirit was strong, after all, his age was not spared, and his strength was getting worse and worse than before. One afternoon, he sat in the warm sun, listening to the laughter of his wife and daughter, thinking that sooner or later he would have to take his wife's step first, and the responsibility he should fulfill for the family would not be completed, and when his daughter went to school and started a family, his wife was also white-haired, and how heavy the burden she was bearing was. Li Guisheng thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a pang of bitterness, he wanted to do something for his wife and daughter in his lifetime, and suddenly a thought came to his mind, why didn't he leave a batch of calligraphy and painting works for his wife and daughter, although his own calligraphy and painting works were as valuable as those of famous artists, they also had a market.
The next day, Li Guisheng began to sort out his paintings, and he knew that because he usually did not refuse to come to the door to ask for calligraphy and painting, only a dozen works were left. After a moment of loss, Li Guisheng decided to take advantage of the pen in his hand and clear thinking, to create 500 works of calligraphy and painting for his wife and daughter, Quan Dang stored his love for his wife and daughter, and released them after a hundred years to fulfill the responsibility of the head of his family.
Li Guisheng said that he would do it, and soon bought back the pen and ink paper. Wang Shudi asked him: "Haven't you not created for two or three years because of the pain in your arm, and why did you start writing again?" ”
Li Guisheng told his wife what he thought. Wang Shudi listened and complained: "Don't think about it, you will not leave us, you said that we will live and die together." ”
"Although I am reluctant to leave you, it is the common sentiment of people to live, grow old, sick and die, and sooner or later I will have this day..."
Wang Shudi stepped forward and covered her husband's mouth: "Stop gambling on yourself, heaven will bless us with white heads and old age." ”
Li Guisheng did not listen to his wife's advice and began to create works of calligraphy and painting. He spread out a small piece of rice paper, wanted to paint a small picture of the loofah-themed melon shed that he was best at, but just after drawing a few leaves, his hand began to shake, he had to stop and stabilize his mind, but after lifting the pen again, his hand was still shaking, he held the right hand bowl with his left hand, his hand was not shaking, and the lines he could draw were not smooth and dull. "It's really old and useless!" In a fit of rage, he dropped his pen and tore the paper. After turning around the courtyard a few times, he remembered the fearlessness and sacrifice spirit of his wife who sacrificed her life to give birth to a child for him, secretly ashamed, and returned to the front of the book case one by one, picked up the pen from the ground, spread out the paper, and began to bury his head in creation, his hands were still shaking, but his heart was firm, and the thick love burst from his heart, pouring along the tip of the pen to the paper, forming a landscape of love.
More than half a month later, under the dual action of will and perseverance, the interval between his hands trembling gradually lengthened, and he could splash ink at will, and under the influence of creative passion and love, his works were more reasonable than before, the artistic conception was more far-reaching, and the layers were more distinct.
Passion is unlimited, but energy is limited. Li Guisheng has been creating for a long time, and his body is sore, especially his legs, numb and difficult to support. One day, Li Guisheng selflessly created the Tiger Howling Diagram, and after the work was completed, because he had been standing for a long time, his legs were not controlled by himself due to numbness, and as soon as he turned around, his entire body fell heavily to the ground. Wang Shudi rushed to hear the news and helped her husband up, she was so distressed that she shed tears, seeing that her husband did not fall, this was relieved. In order to prevent her husband from giving up her life to create again, she simply locked the door of the study.
Li Guisheng's paintings
Wang Shudi's kindness could not stop her husband's love, and Li Guisheng raced against time with all his heart, but despite this, the progress of creation was slow. He is a perfectionist, does not allow the slightest flaw in his work, and if there is even the slightest dissatisfaction, it will be torn up and restarted. It often takes many days to create a work.
After Shao Fuliang, chairman of the Qiu County Federation of Literature and Literature, learned of the news that Li Guisheng had worked hard for his wife and daughter to create, in order to carry forward his spirit, let more people appreciate his works, and promote the climax of the county's calligraphy and painting creation, he decided to hold a special exhibition of calligraphy and painting for him. After the citizens and netizens learned that Li Guisheng had worked hard for his wife and daughter to create, to store the love of this life and release it to the spirit of another time, they were deeply moved, and in order to fulfill his love, they began to order his calligraphy and painting works.
Insisting on creation, storing love, will and passion have activated Li Guisheng's youth, his body and mind have been well exercised and baptized, and now he is in good spirits and high morale, and the vertigo disease that he used to suffer from is gradually improving. Up to now, Elder Li Guisheng has created more than 150 works, of which he has completed the birthday celebration works left to his wife within a hundred years, and each work is accompanied by a poem of his own creation.
In today's society, "money marriage" is infiltrating people's brains like a virus, resulting in "spiritual marriage" being embattled. The legendary love story of Li Guisheng and Wang Shudi tells us that true love marriage is not based on money, but on spirit.
