One day in 1911, Guo Moruo , who was studying abroad, received a letter from home. The letter said that his mother had made a marriage appointment for him. The woman's name was Zhang Qionghua. She was the daughter of the Zhang family in Suxi Town.
These seem to meet Guo Moruo's requirements, so without his consent, the mother decided the marriage. In that era, even a man studying abroad could not get rid of the marriage of "parents and matchmakers", so Guo Moruo agreed.
Guo Moruo has expectations of his fiancee, especially in terms of appearance, hoping that she is as beautiful as a flower, quiet and elegant, but the reality finally disappointed him.
Guo Moruo
On the wedding night, Guo Moruo was full of anticipation. He held his breath and lifted the hijab on Zhang Qionghua's head. What greeted us was "a pair of gorilla nostrils with sky-rising" ” .
At that moment, Guo Moruo's heart was broken. In extreme disappointment, he turned back and walked out of the bridal chamber. He drank alone in the bridal chamber. Finally, after repeated persuasion from his mother, he returned to the new house. Looking at the bride, she fell asleep.
Guo Moruo and Zhang Qionghua are the only ones who are lost.
Zhang Qionghua and her mother-in-law
knowing she is not liked by her newlyweds, she only feels that her heart is empty, as if she has no hope in her life.Listening to the snoring sound from her husband, she stayed up all night, and the sadness lingered in her heart.
From the first day of entry, Zhang Qionghua has tasted the difficulty of "no husband is no owner". On the fifth day after marriage, Guo Moruo, who was depressed and unhappy, took a boat to Chengdu on the grounds of studying.
On that day, Zhang Qionghua and his in-laws took her husband to the ferry. Everyone came and went, Zhang Qionghua tearfully said goodbye to her husband. Her tears did not arouse Guo Moruo's distress at all, and he walked very decisively.
After that, Guo Moruo went to Japan in the name of "struggle". He was like a kite with a broken line, going farther and farther, even out of Zhang Qionghua's sight.
Guo Moruo
Feudal marriage is so cruel. After marriage, men can continue to pursue their ideals and go far away, but women can only stay at home, guarding the empty room, and even spend a lifetime. .
Ever since Guo Moruo flew so far, Zhang Qionghua's life is nothing but loneliness and loneliness. Although she felt miserable in her heart, she still abides by the ancient motto of "marry a chicken and follow a chicken" and perform the duties of a daughter-in-law in Guo's family, taking care of her in-laws and housework.
Zhang Qionghua was a victim of a feudal marriage, but she retaliated with virtue. On weekdays, she doesn't speak much, is kind to others, gets along with her in-laws and her family in harmony, and uses her labor and filial piety to win the respect and love of the Guo family.
Guo Moruo
At first, Zhang Qionghua and Guo Moruo passed several letters. However, in the face of Zhang Qionghua's longing for him and the plea for him to go home, Guo Moruo's response was indifferent.
When he arrived, Guo Mo Xingkui broke up with Zhang Qionghua, and only asked for one sentence in his letter to his family. After that, I asked my brother to tell Zhang Qionghua that he was busy on weekdays and had no time to write letters, hoping that she could take good care of my parents for me.
If a person does not love you, your worries and thoughts are superfluous. Zhang Qionghua feels bitter in his heart. Marriage is a widowhood. Such a life is like swallowing coptis and suffering to the bone.
Although she is a victim of feudal marriage, Zhang Qionghua has the most genuine kindness of Chinese women. She did not live up to Guo Moruo's request. She took care of her in-laws as always and kept thinking of her husband far away in her free time.
Guo Moruo
However, when Zhang Qionghua worked tirelessly for the Guo family, Guo Moruo, who was far away in Japan, had a new love. The other was a Japanese woman named Tomoko Sato_ span3span.
Sato Tomoko has fair skin and plump body. The first time they met was in the hospital, Guo Moruo was not in a clear mood at that time, but when Sato Tomoko appeared in front of him, he suddenly felt full of joy.
Guo Moruo fell in love with Sato Tomiko at first sight. Although he is married, Guo Moruo did not suppress his emotions and took the initiative to write to Sato Tomiko to confess.
The literati is romantic. There are several women who can resist it. In the end, he successfully captured the heart of Sato Tomoko. The infinite shortcomings in his heart over the years were finally made up. Guo Moruo gave her a holy name_ span3span : Anna Guo.
Guo Anna
But when Guo Moruo wrote to tell his parents that he was in a free love and cohabitation with a woman in Japan, he was strongly opposed by conservative-minded parents. They told him about the photos. Qiong is what the Guo family did, but Guo Moruo has made a decision and married Sato Tomiko.
For this reason, his parents were extremely angry and even interrupted communication with him for a while. Later, his father strongly asked him to write to Zhang Qionghua to say "I'm sorry", but Guo Moruo never took up a pen because he felt that Zhang Qionghua was pitiful, but he was also a victim of an arranged marriage.
In 1923, Guo Moruo, who had bid farewell to his homeland for six years, was about to return to China, but unlike other people who returned home, he did not return to his hometown. The biggest reason was that he did not want to face Zhang Qionghua, so he decided to join the family. Alienate.
Guo Moruo
Zhang Qionghua missed her husband day and night, but never thought that she had no place in the other's heart. When there is no one on weekdays, what she does the most is to take out the books Guo Moruo has read and used pens and wipe them carefully.
The struggling Zhang Qionghua eventually became an abandoned woman. The only thing she can do is "see things and think about people", and incorporate all her misses for her husband into those subtle movements.
Here, Zhang Qionghua stays alone and lives lonely. There, Guo Moruo, after giving birth to five children with Anna, once again empathize with each other. This time he fell in love with Yu Liqun, who is more than 20 years younger than himself. , Is also the last wife in her life.
Guo Moruo's family portrait
1938,Guo Moruo and Yu Liqun married and began a new love life. The following year, Guo Moruo received a letter from his family in which he stated that his father was seriously ill and hoped that he would go home to visit. This time Guo Moruo did not refuse.
At this time, it has been 26 years since Guo Moruo left home. He has been promoted from a student to Chongqing's third hall for a long time. This time this party can be described as honoring his hometown.
On that day, when he learned that Guo Mo was coming back, the tribesmen lined up to welcome Zhang Qionghua. Zhang Qionghua was also standing in the crowd. At this time, she was over forty years old and had changed from a newlywed daughter-in-law to a young woman.
Tension, excitement.... Several complex emotions spread in Zhang Qionghua's heart. However, when Guo Moruo in a suit and leather shoes walked into the crowd, she gave her a very strange idea.
Guo Moruo
At that moment, Zhang Qionghua's heart sank to the bottom. Although worshipped heaven and earth, even though she had waited for 26 years, she was after all his outsider.
In the following time, Guo Moruo learned from his father and family members that when Zhang Qionghua had done everything the Guo family had done in the past 26 years, there was still a wave of turbulence in his heart.
It is impossible to give her a normal marriage. In the end, in order to express her gratitude to Zhang Qionghua for serving her parents in the past 26 years, she gave Zhang Qionghua the biggest bowing ceremony in her hometown.
But this kneeling cannot make up for Zhang Qionghua’s dedication and sad fate. However, Zhang Qionghua has not complained about her own experience and Guo Moruo’s choice. She only said: " all this is fate_ span3span !"
Guo Moruo
In July,Guo Moruo's father died of illness. He took Yu Liqun and his son home for the funeral. Zhang Qionghua welcomed the arrival of "Yu Liqun".
Not only that, Zhang Qionghua also surrendered the "new house" he had when he married Guo Moruo, allowing Guo Moruo and Yu Liqun to live, and he moved to another small room.
At that time, when Yu Liqun had just given birth, Zhang Qionghua took care of her very considerately. She bought and cooked according to Guo Moruo and Yu Liqun’s living habits. She also bought and made the fresh food that Yu Liqun liked to eat. fish.
Zhang Qionghua also regards Liqunsheng's son as her own, and likes it very much. She likes seeing children in her life, and her eyes will show infinite compassion, but it is a pity that she has no children of her own.
Zhang Qionghua’s kindness is always distressing. Since she married into Guo’s family at the age of 22, she has lost her ego and has completely become a "daughter-in-law" for Guo Moruo's filial piety. This is the same as Zhuan How similar.
Guo Mouruo and Yu Liqun
After the funeral, Guo Moruo and Yu Liqun returned to Chongqing with their children, and the Guo family returned to the deserted days of the past. In the past, the parents-in-law had things on their own. Do, now that his in-laws have passed away one after another, Zhang Qionghua's life is full of loneliness.
People of the same age in the village, at the age of Zhang Qionghua, have long lived the life of children and grandchildren around their knees, enjoying the happiness of family, only Zhang Qionghua, from young to woman, is a person.
Many times, she sits alone at the door of her house, watching the sunrise and sunset, watching people coming and going,Occasionally, memories will pull her back to the day when she married Guo Moruo.
That day, she wore a wedding gown and sat in a sedan chair. She was full of tension and joy, but she couldn't think of it. This marriage did not give her the slightest surprise. Her husband left home on the fifth day of the marriage.
After he had a Japanese wife, and then Yu Liqun, his world was big, but he couldn't tolerate her, and he was so stingy that he wouldn't give her a child.
Guo Moruo
In 1963, Zhang Qionghua came to Beijing to visit Guo Moruo in his twilight years. There are two opinions about this trip to Beijing. One said that Guo Moruo treated her like an elder sister, and asked the Sichuan nanny to take care of her, and let Yu Liqun go shopping with her and buy some souvenirs.
However, some comrades said that she did not see Guo Moruo or get the company of Yu Liqun when she came to Beijing this time. Only after staying for a while, she went back lonely.
Although Guo Moruo didn't give her any warmth, Zhang Qionghua always missed her "husband" and always mailed him some hometown specialties, such as his favorite dried radish and pickles.
Guo Moruo has never given Zhang Qionghua a bit of tenderness and happiness, but she keeps her "husband" in her heart. Although this marriage is loveless and unsubstantiated, it is the whole life of Zhang Qionghua.
Guo Moruo
In addition, Zhang Qionghua’s bedroom has been hanging pictures of Guo Moruo, and Guo Moruo’s letters from Japan,She cherished the books she had read when she was a teenager, the pens, inks, papers and inkstones she had used in her childhood. These old objects were never stained with dust.
Those old things entrust all Zhang Qionghua's thoughts. Although Guo Moruo does not admit that she is his wife, in Zhang Qionghua's heart, he will always be his husband.
For life, it will never change.
Guo Moruo
In marriage, Zhang Qionghua adhered to the old-fashioned woman's character, and in life, she also lived a very strong life. In her later years, someone persuaded her to ask Guo Moruo for living expenses, but she insisted on paying for herself. Self-sufficient, live by selling some small foods and handmade products.
At that time, many people passed by her small stall. No one would think that this gray-haired grandmother was special, let alone that she was the wife of the famous Guo Moruo.
Later, due to physical reasons, she could not afford to pay the stall, so she accepted Guo Moruo's living expenses and the care of the local government, but she never made any harsh demands.
Guo Moruo
Guo Moruo died of illness in 1978. The family considered Zhang Qionghua to be very old, so they concealed the terrible news from her. The following year, the first Guo Moruo academic seminar was held in Leshan City. Guo Moruo's two daughters Guo Shuying and Guo Pingying were invited to the meeting.
After the event, the two sisters specially visited Zhang Qionghua. After they met, they kindly called her: "Mom, mother !" When Zhang Qionghua was childless in her life,After hearing this address, the old man was moved to tears.
On June 14, 1980, Zhang Qionghua died of illness at the age of 90.
I don't know what Zhang Qionghua's mood was when looking back at her life before she died, she probably couldn't figure out how she was so kind, why didn't she be liked by her husband!
This year, sixty-eight years have passed since she married Guo Moruo. She also kept the vacant room alone for sixty-eight years. After all, that promising and well-established husband gave her only a miserable period. Married life.
Zhang Qionghua's life is a tragic life. She was fettered by feudal ethics. For a "nominal" identity, she sacrificed her life's marriage and happiness.
Sad, sigh! ! !
