I was not born, I was born and I am old.
Ancient men paid attention to three wives and four concubines, and many men even entered the old age and took concubines, and this bad habit was not abolished until the Republic of China period. Of course, it is not that the old husband and wife or the old wife and the young husband are not good, even if the age gap is large, there will be love. For example, the current wife of contemporary physicist Yang Zhenning is his student, and the age gap between the two is very large, and they have been much discussed by the outside world from the beginning, and everyone is not optimistic about this marriage. However, after so many years, the performance of the two in public is still very loving, so the age gap is not a gulf between love.
There was once a woman who married a 54-year-old general at the age of 17 and became pregnant with 16 children in 33 years after their marriage, both of whom were buried in Babaoshan Cemetery after their deaths.
The couple were General Cheng Qian and his wife Guo Yiqing. Cheng Qian studied at Yuelu Private School when he was a teenager, and later he threw himself into the pen to save the country and save the people. In the early days, he participated in the League, and served as the head of the Hunan Military Department during the Republic of China. In foreign wars, he has also made outstanding achievements.
On the eve of the founding of New China, it played a positive role in the construction of New China by the Communist Party of China, and in 1952 he became the chairman of the Hunan People's Government. In the 1960s, China was in a special period, and the premier personally named and protected Cheng Qian, which showed that Cheng potentially had the status of the new Chinese government.
Cheng had three wives during the war years, but for various reasons, some died or were separated. When he reached the age of Hua Jia, he met his fourth wife, Guo Yiqing.
Guo Yiqing and Cheng Qian were only 17 years old when they married, and Cheng Qian was already 54 years old at this time, if this marriage occurred in modern times, it would definitely cause heated discussion. At that time, although everyone could accept this kind of thing, they were not optimistic that the relationship between the two could last. Maybe as I just said, the age gap is not a love gap, and Cheng Qianguo Yiqing's marriage is very happy.
Guo Yi's adolescence was in the Republic of China period, and although the feudal system had been abolished in that era, people's marriage customs were still the practice of the feudal period - arranged marriages. At that time, the 17-year-old Guo Yiqing was already in the stage of marrying a female university, so her parents arranged an arranged marriage for Guo Yiqing.
At that time, Guo Yiqing had already accepted new ideas, and did not agree with his parents' arrangements at the beginning, but the female friends around him were helpless to follow their parents' arrangements to get married, and if they insisted on going their own way, they might be regarded as outliers. Coupled with his young age, he relied on his parents for food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and there was no other choice if he did not obey, and finally agreed to his parents to arrange family affairs.
Guo Yiqing was still looking forward to her future husband being a young talent, but when she saw the object arranged by her parents, she was immediately discouraged, because her future husband was 54 years old, more than 30 years older than herself, and she could be her father. However, Mu Chengzhou regretted that it was too late, so he had to admit his fate and marry Cheng Qian
Cheng Qian was a general at the time, and Guo Yiqing's parents were of course very optimistic about this marriage, and also taught their daughter Guo Yiqing to marry and teach her children well after she became a relative, and not to mess with her little sex as at home. Guo Yiqing is beautiful in age, it is the flower season, and he is also quite talented, so at first he felt that he had lost money, and he was often lukewarm to Cheng Qian.
Two people live under the same roof and share a bed, slowly Guo Yiqing learned about Cheng Qian, and found that Cheng Qian was not only loved, but also dedicated to the country, so Guo Yiqing began to be attracted by Cheng Qian's charm and began to learn to be a qualified wife.
Cheng Qian knows that he has not only been married 3 times, but he is much older than his new wife, so he takes good care of Guo Yiqing, even if his wife sometimes loses her temper but is still very tolerant.
Cheng Qian knows that Guo Yiqing likes sweets, and every time he travels, he has to bring her famous local pastries, usually taking care of Guo Yiqing like a child. Over time, Guo Yiqing also knows enough about Cheng Qian, coupled with Cheng Qian's meticulous care for himself, the relationship between the two is getting better and better. Cheng Qian was also very pleased with Guo Yiqing's change, and cherished this wife who was much younger than himself.
The two lived a life of mutual affection since then, and later in the period of Cheng Qian's career, they were often sullen and unhappy, and lost their previous vigor. Whenever this time came, Guo Yiqing would make a table of good wine and good dishes for Cheng Qian, advise him not to care too much, and comfort him that he would live a good life no matter what, and that fame and wealth could not be worthy of his children and grandchildren.
Every time Cheng Qian heard his wife's encouragement to himself, he secretly vowed in his heart to cherish the lover in front of him. Guo Yiqing not only fulfilled the duty of a wife, but also gave birth to 16 children in her 33-year marriage with Cheng Qian. However, most of the children either died prematurely or later died of illness, leaving only 6 daughters.
This marriage, which was not optimistic, spent 33 spring and summer happily. In 1968, Cheng Qian accidentally fell into a fracture at home due to his advanced age, so his family sent him to Beijing Hospital for treatment. After a few months, Cheng Qian died of bleeding due to pneumonia and died at the age of 87 after ineffective medical treatment.
At that time, after the premier learned of the news, he personally went to Cheng's home to mourn, and a few days later, Cheng Qian's memorial service was held in Babaoshan in Beijing. When Cheng Qian died, Guo Yiqing was only in the year of Hua Jia, which was also the age of Cheng Qian when the two were married. If the age difference between the two is not so much, they can still live happily for decades, which is really in response to the sentence "Junsheng I was not born, I was born Junjun is old."
Guo Yiqing was immersed in grief long after the death of her husband, but she still had 6 children to raise, so she made herself strong to take on the responsibility of raising children. Not only that, Guo Yiqing also inherited the legacy of her husband Cheng Qian's dedication to the country, and actively devoted herself to the development of the motherland, she served as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference for many consecutive years, and dedicated the rest of her life to the country.
In 1996, Guo Yiqing also died of illness at the age of 76. Before his death, Guo Yiqing left a last word, hoping that he could also be buried in Babaoshan and accompany his husband Cheng Qian, who had been sleeping for many years. Later, the children fulfilled Guo Yiqing's last wish and placed her ashes in the Babaoshan Cemetery in Beijing. This couple, who love each other on earth, can finally continue their beautiful marriage in heaven.

In his later years, Guo Yiqing once said that their love was as light as water, but it was tasteful. They have not had a vigorous love, but they can understand and love each other under the huge age gap, even after death, Guo Yiqing still wants to accompany Cheng Qian. Love does not have to be a vow, it can also be like a melodious nursery rhyme, simple and quiet, but it can be sung forever in the world.
