Wu Mi is a well-known master of Chinese studies in my country. He not only founded Tsinghua University's National College, but also made great achievements in education. For example, Qian Zhongshu is his proud pupil. However, this knowledgeable and talented man has been criticized emotionally. In particular, his entanglement with Mao Yanwen, the first returned female doctor, was talked about by later generations. So what kind of love and hatred is this?
Before he met Mao Yanwen, Wu Mi had read a lot of her letters through Mao Yanwen's fiance Zhu Junyi.
Of course, the letter is written to Zhu Junyi.
Speaking of which, Zhu Junyi is Mao Yanwen's cousin who has not yet appeared in the fifth service. The two are 4 years old, and they are childhood sweethearts.
Actually, Mao Yanwen had a marriage contract in his early years.
When she was 9 years old, her father booked her a marriage.
This marriage finally ended with Mao Yanwen's escaped marriage.
It was Zhu Junyi who encouraged Mao Yanwen to escape the marriage. It turns out that before this, Zhu Junyi and Mao Yanwen privately booked for life.
After the incident, Mao Yanwen's father had to lose some money to the other party, which calmed the turmoil.
When Mao Yanjun was 18 years old, thanks to Zhu Junyi's efforts, his family was persuaded and engaged for them.
At that time, Zhu Junyi was studying at Tsinghua University, and his deskmate was Wu Mi.
During his studies, Zhu Junyi, who is in love, often showed Wu Mi the letters written by Mao Yanwen to him.
Wu Mi got to know Mao Yanwen from these letters, and Mao Yanwen's literary talent left a deep impression on him.
After graduating from University, Mi Wu and Junyi Zhu went to Harvard University and Columbia University to study. Mao Yanwen was also admitted to the Beijing Higher Women's Normal College to study foreign languages with his excellent results.
In 1918, Chen Liexun, a former classmate of Tsinghua University, wrote a letter to Wu Mi.
It turned out that Chen Liexun wanted to introduce his sister Chen Xinyi to Wu Mi.
Chen Xinyi graduated from Zhejiang Women's Normal School and has been a primary school teacher after graduation.
Because of the high spirits, the average man looks down on him, so he dragged it until he was 24 and was not married.
Chen Liexun said, Chen Xinyi admires Wu Mi's talent very much and has always wanted to associate with him.
After reading Chen Liexun's letter, Wu Mi couldn't help but feel relieved when he thought of a woman admiring him. He decided to return to China to meet Chen Xinyi.
Coincidentally, Wu Mi heard Zhu Junyi say that Chen Xinyi is a good friend of Mao Yanwen. Out of caution, he asked Mao Yanwen about Chen Xinyi's hobbies.
Mao Yanwen wrote to Wu Mi, telling him earnestly that Chen Xinyi's role as a good internal helper is quite appropriate. But if you want to marry a modern wife who is sociable, social, and proficient in English, you'd better make another plan.
However, Wu Mi doesn't seem to have thought about this issue seriously. He just thinks that she must go and see this woman who admires herself.
So, he hurried back to China and visited Chen Xinyi in Hangzhou.
Unexpectedly, at Chen Xinyi's place, he saw Mao Yanwen.
Chen Xinyi is a gentle and well-behaved woman, and Wu Mi does not seem to be dissatisfied with her.
However, when he was in Chen Xin's family, Mao Yanwen had to bid farewell to Chen Xin because he was going back to Beijing to study. Her appearance left a deep impression on Wu Mi again.
It turns out that Mao Yanwen is not only better-looking than Chen Xin in her life, but also she is generous and easy to communicate.
Although she was impressed, she was the fiancee of a good friend after all, so Wu Mi had to suppress his affection for Mao Yanwen, and soon had a wedding with Chen Xinyi.
In 1924, Wu Mi and Zhu Junyi both returned to China and served as professors at Nanjing University.
At this time, Mao Yanwen is 26 years old. At the time, thisI'm an old girl at this age, so if I don't get married, I can't afford it anymore.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Junyi wrote a letter to Mao Yanwen, stating that the two of them are close relatives, and for the sake of future generations, the marriage contract must be dissolved.
Now, Mao Yanwen was dumbfounded. You must know that they came together after several struggles, so you can talk about marriage and get married. The other party actually ruined the marriage.
In desperation, Mao Yanwen finds Wu Mi and his wife, hoping that they can mediate.
It is a pity that Wu Mi's mouth is worn out, but Zhu Junyi's decision still cannot be changed.
Although very sad, Mao Yanwen had to agree to dissolve the marriage contract.
Mao Yanwen is lost in love, and Wu Mi feels duty-bound to comfort her. In this process, Mao Yanwen also learned more about Wu Mi.
Soon after, Wu Mi was employed by Tsinghua University. There, he attended the wedding of his colleagues Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman.
The combination of Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman caused a storm in the city at that time. The accusations and obstructions received are even more numerous. Although their union was regarded as a treason, they still withstood the ridicule and ridicule of them in the society and finally came together.
Wu Mi admired Xu Zhimo's courage. At the same time, he also felt that since his favorite is Mao Yanwen, why not imitate Xu Zhimo!
After this, Wu Mi began to approach Mao Yanwen for various reasons. Even after Mao Yanwen returned to Hangzhou, he deceived his wife on the pretext of "going to Guangzhou to do business" and hurried to Hangzhou to meet Mao Yanwen.
For Wu Mi, although Mao Yanwen was indifferent to his pursuit, he fell in love with Mao Yanwen even more.
For Mao Yanwen, Wu Mi is brilliant, personable, and a professor at a university, which is really a good target. The fly in the ointment, however, is that he is a married man.
Just when Wu Mi was passionately in love with Mao Yanwen, his wife Chen Xinyi peeked into his diary and discovered the secret.
Chen Xinyi was already the mother of three daughters at the time, and she did not want to lose the family that she managed. So when Wu Mi came back, she directly said to Wu Mi that as long as Wu Mi and Mao Yanwen did not have intimate behavior, she could assume that none of this happened, as long as Wu Mi never interacted with Mao Yanwen.
However, Wu Mi believes that his love with Mao Yanwen is a spiritual love, and this precious feeling cannot be defeated by reality.
In order to defend the family, Chen Xinyi wrote a letter to Mao Yanwen behind Wu Mi, hoping that she would not interfere in her family.
Mao Yanwen vowed to say that she and Wu Mi are just friends, not lovers. And she also said that she never thought about having a relationship with Wu Mi.
Mao Yanwen's reply, Chen Xinyi did not show Wu Mi. Wu Mi was also tortured by that Plato's love affair, and wanted to find a job for Mao Yanwen in Peking so that she could get closer to herself.
However, after finding a job, Mao Yanwen rejected his kindness and prepared to study at the University of Michigan.
Wu Mi, who was rejected, couldn't help but blame herself, thinking that he failed to give Mao Yanwen a sense of security. Therefore, after thinking about it, he and Chen Xin went through the divorce procedure despite the persuasion of everyone.
After finishing the divorce procedures, Wu Mi went to Hangzhou to meet Mao Yanwen and expressed her fanatical love again.
However, Mao Yanwen calmly told him that even if he must be forced by the situation and must get married, he can only find a first-married man.
Just when Mao Yanwen was studying abroad, Wu Mi also began to travel around Europe.
During this period, Wu Mi wrote many letters to Mao Yanwen. When he traveled to Paris, he took a telegram to Mao Yanwen, stating that if Mao Yanwen did not come to get married, he would break up with Mao Yanwen.
At this time, Mao Yanwen is 32 years old, and because Wu Mi has been pursuing her hard, her heart has also changed a lot. So she hugged her marriedPurpose, travel to Paris.
However, when the two met, Wu Mi hesitated. In a hurry, he promised Mao Yanwen to wait another 4 months to get married after returning home.
After the two returned to China, Wu Mi not only stopped marrying Mao Yanwen, but also moved to Hangzhou and wooed the talented woman Lu Baohua.
Mao Yanwen was angry and accepted the marriage proposal of Xiong Xiling, the former prime minister of the Beiyang government.
At this time, Mao Yanwen is 37 years old and Xiong Xiling is 66 years old.
Where is Wu Mi at this time? Since Lu Baohua rejected his courtship, he was about to go back and discuss marriage with Mao Yanwen. Unexpectedly, he received Mao Yanwen's wedding invitation.
Apart from regret, Wu Mi had to write his feelings for Mao Yanwen in a poem. It is said that he wrote more than 30 poems. Not only did they get them published in newspapers, but they also read them to students in class. All the teachers and students laughed at him.
Wu Mi’s friends felt that his doing so was really detrimental to the dignity of intellectuals, so they appointed Jin Yuelin to persuade.
Jin Yuelin gave him an analogy, saying that he had no problem writing poems, but the involvement of Mao Yanwen in the poem became a private matter, and it would be difficult to get a private matter to be advertised in the newspaper. It's like going to the toilet every day, who would make a big publicity about it!
Wu Mi was furious after listening, patted the table and yelled: "My love is not going to the bathroom!"
Jin Yuelin also felt that his analogy seemed inappropriate, so she stood there quietly and listened to Wu Mi scolded him for nothing.
Mao Yanwen and Xiong Xiling's marriage lasted only two years, and Xiong Xiling died of illness.
After Wu Mi heard that, with mixed feelings, he pursued Mao Yanwen again. But in the face of Wu Mi's courtship, Mao Yanwen was indifferent and never gave him a chance ever since.
Then, when Mao Yanwen agreed to come and marry Wu Mi, why did he refuse? Some people think that Wu Mi's so-called love is actually just a kind of spiritual love. This kind of spiritual love is very beautiful only if you don't get it. Once it came time to talk about the actual issue of marriage, Wu Mi couldn't accept it, so he was afraid to escape.
Maybe this statement has some truth, who knows!
