There is an old saying: "Since ancient times, there has been a lot of love and empty hatred, and this hatred has no end." "Since ancient times, talents have all been popular, most of them have countless confidants with red faces, and they have finally become thin feelings." He is an amorous talent in the eyes of the world; he is a master of sinology, as one of the founders of tsinghua university's school of chinese studies, he is known to the world as the father of Chinese comparative literature; he is a master of red studies who is intoxicated with the world of "", and he is a "master of love" - Wu Mi.

"And now listen to the rain monks, the sideburns have been stars also." Wu Mi's character "Rain Monk" is taken from this verse, and his real name Wu Yuheng is taken from the Book of Books, which means one of the seven stars of the Big Dipper, and the familiar "Mi" is what he took for himself when he was studying, which has the meaning of "quiet".
Wu Mi was endowed with an amazing talent and an outstanding memory at a young age, and it is said that his "instant recitation into chapters" is a talent that will never be forgotten. As an adult, Wu Mi can blurt out the literary knowledge or literary events she has been involved in, from the content to the writer's life.
In 1911, at the age of seventeen, Wu Mi was admitted to the preparatory class of the Beijing Tsinghua School for studying in the United States, and six years later she was able to travel across the ocean to study in the United States, where she studied journalism and Western literature successively, and after obtaining a bachelor's degree, Wu Mi transferred to the Harvard University Research Institute to study comparative literature, philosophy and other professional disciplines, so together with Tang Yongtong and Chen Yinke, they were known as the "Three Masters of Harvard". During the ten years of studying in the United States, Wu Mi not only accumulated a lot of knowledge, but also wrote a lot of papers during his very hard work.
After returning to China, Wu Mi went to National Southeast University as a professor at the Faculty of Literature, and Chinese comparative literature set a precedent under Wu Mi's efforts. Later, during his teaching period, he also founded xueheng magazine with several colleagues at national southeast university, strongly advocating Chinese cultural heritage and classicism, and wrote "Wu Mi's Poetry Collection" and other works.
In the years since, Wu Mi has been teaching in many domestic colleges and universities, and in 1941, as a professor hired by the Ministry of Education in batches, he used what he had learned to teach and educate People, Qian Zhongshu and other proud protégés.

Such a talented and beautiful person is a complete "merry" figure in the eyes of the world, and even some people think that he is an authentic "lustful person". His life can not escape a "love" word, Wu Mi and his wife Chen Xinyi through the introduction of their classmate Chen Liexun, Chen Xinyi is Chen Liexun's sister once saw a photo of Wu Mi published in a weekly magazine and fell in love at first sight, willing to marry him.
After returning to China, Wu Mi, who met Chen Xinyi, soon married him, and after marriage, the two had three lovely daughters, just when everyone thought that the couple would be happy and happy to the point of whiteheading, Wu Mi fell in love with another woman, and this woman was Chen Xinyi's close friend - Mao Yanwen.
Wu Mi, who was occupied by true love, did not hesitate to file a divorce request to her wife, so that this seven-year-long marriage could not survive the "seven-year itch" after all. After the divorce, Wu Mi immediately launched a passionate pursuit of her "true love" Mao Yanwen, and when the world was talking about this love, Wu Mi did not care and even publicly published a love poem: "Wu Mi loves Mao Yanwen bitterly, and people in three continents are shocked. Divorce is not afraid of sage ridicule, money and reputation. "
Such a shocking act caused a public uproar for a time, even his father was angry and openly reprimanded him for his "ruthlessness", but Wu Mi, who had already fallen in love, did not care at all, no matter how the outside world criticized him for still struggling to pursue the cinnabar mole in his mind.
As the saying goes, the more he didn't get it, the more he couldn't put it down, but in the face of Wu Mi's pursuit, Mao Yanwen was not at all moved, and soon after Mao Yanwen married Xiong Xiling, who had served as the premier of the Beiyang government at that time, and became the "prime minister's wife". Wu Mi, who learned of this "bad news", was cut off for a while, and wrote thirty-eight poems in a row, each of which expressed the pain and sorrow that he could not love.
His love for Mao Yanwen can be said to be "paranoid", until his death, he still harbored bitter love and longing for Mao Yanwen, and perhaps what he did not get was the best. If Mao Yanwen is a lifelong desire for Wu Mi, then Xu Guangping is the candidate for a virtuous wife in Wu Mi's heart.
Xu Guangping was Lu Xun's wife, and Wu Mi was once very envious of Lu Xun's ability to have such a virtuous wife. He once publicly praised Xu Guangping as a very intelligent and careful woman, and spontaneously lamented why he was better than Lu Xun and why he had not been able to marry a wife like Xu Guangping.
In that era when everyone was ashamed to express their feelings, Wu Mi was able to "spy" on a human wife so rationally, which was also commendable. After Wu Mi grew old, his brave heart of pursuing love was still active, and under the enthusiastic pursuit of his student Zou Lanfang, he and the other party began the second marriage of their lives.
Although this teacher-student relationship was not optimistic at that time, Wu Mi not only did not dislike Zou Lanfang's poor family situation at that time, but also did her best to help her relatives financially after Zou Lanfang's death.

Wu Mi's life was remarkable in literature, and he undoubtedly made great contributions to Chinese literature. Even though he has indulged in the word "love" all his life, and loved every time in the eyes of the world, who can deny his "dare" and "truth"? Who can obliterate his academic rigor to the extreme?
In his nearly half-life coaching career, his meticulous academic style can be described as a vivid play. According to Qian Mu's recollection, when he was in Nanyue with Wu Mi, he would prepare a summary of notes for the next day's class one day in advance, draw them up one by one, review and add them repeatedly, and outline the key points with red pen.
He gets up early in the morning before the daily class, and recites the prepared lesson materials in his hand outside; he is never late, and the class is free to use English, Chinese bilingual teaching, and some obscure knowledge is much easier to understand under his explanation.
During the special period, Wu Mi entered the trough of her life, and she was labeled as a counter-revolutionary and became a "great sinner" who everyone rushed to criticize. Wu Mi, who had been charged with various crimes, squatted in a cowshed, participated in labor camps, swept toilets, was cut off from water and food, and even broke her legs, and experienced suffering; what was even more terrible than physical torture was mental pain, and Wu Mi, who was nearly eighty years old, was dragged to a high platform to "show the public" and was insulted.
In his later years, Wu Mi suffered a lot, and in 1971, his physical condition deteriorated as his eye disease became more and more serious, and when he died, he muttered in his mouth: "Give me water to drink, I am Professor Wu Mi." Give me food to eat, I am Professor Wu Mi! At that time, Wu Mi still obsessively remembered her identity as a professor, and perhaps she wanted to remember not only a former title, but also the dignity she was forced to lose in a special period.
