In the past years, Sima Xiang was like a phoenix to win Zhuo Wenjun's heart, so Zhuo Wenjun did not hesitate to fall out with his family, preferring to show his face and go to the street to sell things for a living, just to be with Sima Xiang. Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for talented people to fall in love with each other, and there are not a few parents who oppose it.
However, if it is really two people who love each other, then these external influences cannot be stopped after all. For example, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai gave up their lives for love, and both of them turned into butterflies. Not only in ancient times, although modern people advocate free love, there are still many parents who are very dissatisfied with the other half chosen by their children and do not agree with the marriage of the two.
An 18-year-old Austrian girl fell in love with a Chinese policeman, but her parents were very opposed and blocked, and the Austrian girl resolutely married to China, so was her married life happy?
With the development of science and technology, especially transportation, exchanges between countries have become more and more frequent, even if they are thousands of miles apart, with the help of high-speed rail, airplanes and other means of transportation, which have greatly shortened the time for travel. It is precisely because of the convenience of transportation that the mutual exchanges between people of various countries have become much closer, and a relatively common phenomenon caused by this intimate connection is Chinese and foreign marriage.
Men and women are no longer limited to their own countries, foreign objects have become common. This kind of thing is very common and normal in the eyes of modern people, but in the last century, people's thinking has not changed, and the situation of Chinese and foreign marriage is an unimaginable thing for people at that time.
In the last century, when the world's great powers were eyeing each other, the warlords at home were confused about the right to war, and the people were ignorant in their thinking, many people in China chose to take refuge abroad and wait for the domestic situation to stabilize. And if these young people who go abroad have a favorite person in a foreign country and harvest love, then most of them choose to settle directly abroad, and will not risk returning to the dangerous and chaotic country with their other half.
However, it is precisely because there is only one in ten thousand that it seems how precious the individual "one" is. A love affair that began with Austria eventually blossomed in Zhejiang, China. In those chaotic times, it was so special, as well as dazzling.
If you ask where the capital of Austria is, you may not know, but if you mention which city the music is referred to, many people will blurt out the name "Vienna". As a sacred place in the hearts of musicians, Vienna is not only a musical city, from the beginning of the Roman Empire to the present, Vienna has played a pivotal role in Europe, it has always been the political and cultural center of Europe's focus.
In modern times, many international organizations have chosen to have their headquarters in Vienna. Compared with Vienna, the city of Dongyang, Zhejiang, China, regardless of the fame in the world, in our country it does not have much fame, except for a Hengdian Film and Television City, Dongyang has no other more brilliant places.
Especially in 1931, when the country was still weak and lagging behind the rest of the world, and Dongyang, Zhejiang Province, was even more unknown, and the gap between the two was vastly different from that of Vienna. Europe was in a period of peace between the two wars, and peace and stability abroad attracted a large number of Chinese people to take refuge in Europe, and although our country was nominally ruled by chiang kai-shek's nationalist government, in fact there was still civil war and chaos.
In 1931, China sent some Chinese police officers to Vienna for study and training, and the local residents saw that the Chinese team members were psychologically arrogant and contemptuous. Looked at with contempt by these foreigners, for these Chinese police officers who came to be trained, the taste of bitterness and resignation in their hearts was indescribable.
Du Chengrong, one of the Chinese police officers trained, quickly came out of this state of psychological depression and turned his grief and humiliation into a driving force for training. He studied desperately to digest advanced knowledge from European military powers, and his hard work shocked his Austrian instructors.
For Du Chengrong, this is his only chance to change his destiny. He comes from a village in Dongyang, Zhejiang Province, China, where his hometown is poor and backward, and the best houses there are not even as good as the newsstands on the side of vienna.
And he comes from a poor family, the reason why he got this opportunity to study abroad is that he got a place to study abroad at public expense with his daily efforts and his excellent results, and came to the peaceful and prosperous Vienna.
From a backward small village to the world famous city of Vienna, this bustling everything shocked Du Chengrong and his partners, everything here made them incredible, and what attracted them most was the peace and prosperity here.
In addition to his daily training, Mr. Du was exposed to a sport of recreation that is rare in China: ice skating. For the inhabitants of Vienna, ice skating has become a part of their lives, with a large number of residents dancing on the ice rink every day.
After Du Chengrong was exposed to the sport, he quickly became obsessed with it, and whenever he had time, he would go to the ice rink. Among the many Viennese residents, the yellow-skinned Du Chengrong was particularly special, and all the residents were curiously looking at this skilled Chinese policeman, including a young Austrian girl.
The Austrian girl named Wagner was very curious about the yellow-skinned Du Chengrong, and she could not imagine that a big boy was even more shy than a girl, and she was particularly prone to blushing. Although Wagner's family conditions are not superior, but it is also a medium level, whether it is her family conditions or her own appearance, she is eligible to find a partner with a superior birth and excellent herself, but in the end she likes Du Chengrong.
There is an old saying in our country called "a thousand miles of marriage and a line of ties", fate is often wonderful, Wagner's father is also a policeman, and what is even more wonderful is that Wagner's father is one of the instructors who trained Du Chengyong, and Wagner's home is also near the house where Du Chengrong lives.
Perhaps because he is accustomed to seeing too many white men, Wagner is full of good feelings for the yellow-skinned and shy Du Chengrong, and in the exchange between the two, Wagner also boldly expresses his liking to Du Chengrong. For Du Chengrong, the Austrian girl's liking flattered him, and likewise, for this straightforward Western girl, his heart was also moved.
However, after considering the families, ethnicities and other factors of both sides, Du Chengrong hesitated in his heart. Under the fierce pursuit of Wagner, Du Chengrong's heart chose to respond after countless struggles and entanglements. Under the agreement of both sides, the result is obvious, and the two are together.
As the time of acquaintance becomes longer and longer, the two sides communicate more and more, and both are completely infatuated with each other. In this way, a couple of different countries and different nationalities has completely abandoned the gap between Chinese and Western cultures, and the feelings between the two have become deeper and deeper. However, the road of feelings is definitely not smooth for Du Chengrong and the two.
At that time, the austrian residents looked at Chinese with pride in their hearts. There is a "door-to-door" saying in our country, which is actually common in Austria. For Wagner's parents, they did not want their daughter to marry a boy from a weak country.
They simply did not understand why their precious daughter had taken a fancy to this country boy from a poor village in China, so they desperately tried to prevent Wagner from meeting Du Chengrong.
Wagner's choice in Vienna is very "shocking". In addition to her parents, her relatives and friends also dissuaded her together: even if this Chinese police officer has a gentle personality and a handsome appearance, but so what, after completing his training, he is definitely going to return to China, are you willing to leave the peaceful and prosperous Austria and return to backward and poor China with him?
In fact, Wagner had thought about what her friend had said, but after thinking about it, Wagner still chose the love in her heart, and she told her girlfriends that even if her parents objected, she would marry the Chinese.
In the face of Wagner's insistence, Du Chengrong's heart was very moved. Although he also liked Wagner very much, he did not want her to follow him back to China to suffer, so he chose to persuade Wagner, hoping that she would think carefully about it. In the face of Du Chengrong's persuasion, Wagner did not hesitate to tell Du Chengrong that he believed that everything would be better and that love could overcome everything.
Seeing that his object was so determined, Du Chengrong was very touched in his heart, so the two began to consider how to persuade Wagner's parents. Under Wagner's soft and hard bubble, her mother finally relaxed, but as an old father, Wagner's father was very reluctant to let his daughter marry Far away from China, and it would not help to let Wagner's soft and hard bubble.
According to Austrian law, children must marry with the signature of a guardian, but Wagner's father's work has never been possible. His reason is very simple, that is, for the sake of his daughter's future, he believes that Du Chengrong can not bring happiness to his daughter at all, coupled with the influence of our country in the world at that time, Wagner's father still has some prejudices against Chinese. Du Chengrong knew that if he could not ask for the consent of Wagner's father, then when his return date arrived, this exotic love would come to an end.
Du Chengrong has only been training in Vienna for two years, the time is getting more and more urgent, and the psychological pressure of the couple is also increasing, no matter what they do, they can't impress Wagner's father. However, "all the worlds and the earth are working together", Du Chengrong could not imagine, because of his performance in training, he received help from an Austrian instructor.
The instructor was very appreciative of Du Chengrong, who worked hard, and when he learned about Du Chengrong, he deliberately found Wagner's father, fiercely "reprimanded" Wagner's father, and said that Du Chengrong was very good, if he had a daughter, he would definitely agree to this matter. Faced with comments from colleagues, Wagner's father fell into thought, and eventually he agreed to it. Wagner and Du Chengrong, who finally obtained their parents' consent, were ecstatic, and the two finally had hope of being together.
Du Chengrong returned home after completing his studies, and Wagner temporarily stayed in Austria, waiting for Du Chengrong to settle down. After returning to China, Du Chengrong found a job as a police academy coach in his hometown, and after stabilizing, Du Chengrong quickly contacted Wagner and remitted a ticket from Italy to Shanghai.
After receiving the ticket, Wagner packed his bags under the reluctant eyes of his parents. For the departure of their daughter, her parents are full of worry, they can no longer take care of their daughter, do not know whether the daughter can adapt to the backward environment, for the future of their daughter, they are full of worry, but Wagner is full of hope for the future.
Sitting on a passenger ship from Italy, Wagner traveled through the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean to Shanghai. And Du Chengrong has already calculated the date of his girlfriend's arrival, taking a good leave of absence in advance and waiting quietly in the port, in order to let his girlfriend see himself at a glance, he deliberately put on a white suit.
After the ship arrived at the station, Wagner disembarked with the same excitement and nervousness, and after two years of separation, the two met again, and when he saw his boyfriend nervously waiting for him at the dock, Wagner's heart was particularly satisfied. At this moment, she was satisfied with her decision to come to China in spite of her family's opposition.
In February 1935, Wagner and Du Chengrong officially held a wedding ceremony at the famous Xinxin Hotel on Beishan Road in Hangzhou, and on the marriage certificate, the woman's name was called "Hua Zhiping", which was the name Du Chengrong specially gave for his wife, implying that the two met in Pingshui, but became a confidant.
Although there is a certain gap between life in Hangzhou and life in Wigna, Wagner has not complained in the slightest. She combed the Bun of the Chinese woman's hair, put on the Chinese woman's cheongsam, and walked hand in hand with her husband on the edge of the West Lake. For Wagner, it was the happiest time of her life.
However, in Asia, Japan's ambitions were no longer hidden, the situation in Shanghai was very dangerous, Du Chengrong had to relocate to Fuzhou, and Nazi Germany ruled by Hitler in Europe was also eyeing Austria. With the outbreak of World War II, Japan's full-scale invasion of China, the Nazi occupation of Austria, Wagner has been following her husband away from the country, and she and her parents on the other side of the ocean have also cut off communication.
After the end of the Second World War, it was not until 1946 that our country resumed communications with Austria. In a state of nervousness, Wagner finally contacted his sister, who had been missing for more than a decade, only to learn that his father had died a year earlier. The news left Wagner devastated, and she failed to fulfill her promise to her father when she left home, nor was she able to see him again.
After the founding of New China, because of her husband's identity and her overseas background, Wagner had to return to her hometown in Dongyang with her husband to work as a farmer. In more than thirty years in our country, Wagner never returned to Austria. It was not until the death of her husband that in 1990, Wagner, with the help of the Austrian-Chinese Friendship Association, took the child back to his hometown where he had been away for more than fifty years. However, after only staying in Austria for more than three months, Wagner decided to return to his hometown in Dongyang with his children.
Wagner told the reporter who came to interview her: She married her husband, she did not regret marrying in China, she had her home in China, her husband and children, so she wanted to come back.
In 2003, Wagner died of illness. For Wag, her life was happy, she had parents and husband who loved her, and despite her poor life, she has always lived happily with her husband. Although it has also been displaced and suffered from war, it is precisely because of this that this love is precious.
