The first time I read "The Funeral of a Muslim", when I was in elementary school, probably because I was young and sad about the new moon, I only lamented that creation was making people. But after twenty years of reading, I found that the tragedy of the two women and the misfortune of the children were caused by the male protagonist Han Ziqi.
Liang Yiqing is a master jade carver with first-class craftsmanship, but he is not good at business, so he has to earn some hard money. He only had two daughters, Liang Jun bi Liang Bingyu, under his knees, and in that era, the craft was passed on to men and not to women. Before Liang Yiqing waited for his son to inherit the craft, God sent him a very talented apprentice Han Ziqi, and the two were also teachers and fathers. The hard work of years of fatigue led to Liang Yi's early death, leaving the orphan girl and widow mother not to mention, the former customer also took advantage of the fire and robbery, taking away the Guy Shi who ate in the Liang family.
Fortunately, Han Ziqi was paid to taste courage, and finally soon after, he revived his master's Qi Zhen Zhai and married Liang Junbi. Han Ziqi has a talent for jade, and he is more talented in doing business, and the business experience he learned from his opponents and his friendship with the British who love jade, Han Ziqi quickly made the jade business bigger and stronger. Unexpectedly, there was a war. Han Ziqi, who loved jade as much as his life, could not bear the suffering of his treasures, so he went to England with the British, along with Liang Bingyu. Originally thought that I would come back in a few years, but I didn't think that it would be ten years after I left. When he returned, Qi Zhenzhai was gone, and his love affair with his wife was gone, because he was with his sister-in-law Liang Bingyu and had a daughter Crescent Moon.
Don't say that Liang Junbi can't accept it, it can't be accepted by any woman. Betrayal is okay, but the two people who betrayed are the closest relatives in her life, and the blows she suffered are double. We can't understand Han Ziqi's thoughts at that time, he brought home Yu'er, did he want Bi'er to accept it? If it were him, he wouldn't accept it. Since this is the case, then according to Yu'er's idea, divorce Bi'er and be with Yu'er, but he also refuses, he feels that he is responsible for his wife, and he feels that a man is responsible for marriage. Did he think it was a little ridiculous, why didn't he want to do this when he was with Yu'er in the first place?
Liang Bingyu couldn't believe that the weak and incompetent man in front of him was the man he loved when talking to people about business. She decided to leave with her daughter, but he knelt down and begged him to leave her with him. She did as he wished, but he did not seem to protect his daughter and allowed her to not receive maternal love in this family. Not only the daughter, but also the son did not get happiness.
We don't know the significance of Han Ziqi's stay, but Liang Bingyu's departure took away his heart, leaving only the shell of a walking dead. He turned a blind eye to his son's misfortune, and his wife's attitude toward his daughter, and he couldn't do anything, so that his daughter always felt that it was his own bad that his mother didn't love her.
Liang Bingyu never remarried in her life, and Liang Junbi treated the crescent moon coldly because of the betrayal of her husband and sister, so that the new moon could not feel the warmth of home. Even later, even the happiness of his own son, Liang Junbi had to be torn apart, and in the face of the pain of his children, Han Ziqi did nothing, to be precise, he felt that he could not do anything, only lived in his own world. The first time I read it, I felt sorry for him, and when I read it the second time, I found that this man was the root of all tragedies.
People who can't be happy on their own can't give happiness to anyone. To be a person, or to be decisive, to follow their own hearts, may be difficult at first, but a difficult period of time is better than a lifetime, and if you are not careful, you will harm your descendants.
