who seem serious at ordinary times, but are very funny in private. In current popular words, they are comedians. For example, the writer Yu Hua often tells various jokes and the entertainment effect is very good. Some people joke that if he becomes a talk show actor, he will definitely be more successful than writing books. There is also the famous geology dean Zhu Kezhen . His marriage is as hilarious as a sketch show.
Zhu Kezhen was born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang in 1890. He was educated at the age of 2 and entered a Western-style school at the age of 7. In 1908, he transferred to Fudan Public School, the predecessor of Fudan University. In 1910, he traveled across the ocean to the United States to study meteorology . During this period, he joined a scientific group and published several articles in the journals founded by the group. From this, he became famous and became a member of the group of students studying in the United States. of leading figures.
In 1918, when Zhu Kezhen was preparing to pack his bags and return to China to pursue his ambitions, a woman named Zhang Mojun suddenly came to his door. Zhang Mojun is from Hunan, his father was a high-ranking official in the former Qing Dynasty, and his family background is prominent. Zhang Mojun received Western education since she was a child and has outstanding talents and learning. She once fell in love with her friend Jiang Zuobin at first sight, but the other party fell in love with Zhang Mojun's third sister. This devastated Zhang Mojun, and he vowed never to talk about the relationship between men and women again, and to concentrate on studying academics.
In 1918, Zhang Mojun went to the United States to study. In correspondence with her family, she learned that her eighth sister Zhang Xiahun was not yet married, so she decided to choose a good son-in-law for her. By chance, Zhang Mojun learned about Zhu Kezhen from others. She felt that Zhu Kezhen was young and promising and was someone worthy of entrustment, so she rushed to Zhu Kezhen's residence. Zhang Mojun blocked Zhu Kezhen in the house and asked him to marry Zhang Mojun. The heroic spirit is his wife.
Zhu Kezhen didn’t know Zhang Xiahun at all, but he did not reject Zhang Mojun immediately. After carefully observing Zhang Mojun for a while, he felt that Zhang Mojun was well-spoken and knowledgeable. His sister must also be a knowledgeable person who matched him, so he agreed. made this seemingly absurd request. In the summer of that year, Zhu Kezhen set out to return to China. He made a special trip to the Zhang family to fulfill his contract. The Zhang family warmly received him and finalized the wedding date with him.
I have to say that Zhu Kezhen is very discerning, and Zhang Xiahun is indeed excellent. She studied with the master since she was a child, and has very high attainments in literature and painting. She started working in a newspaper when she was 14 years old. In addition, Zhang Xiahun was also a leader of the women's liberation movement. When she was 16 years old, she published many articles about women in left-wing newspapers and periodicals, criticizing the oppression of women in feudal society and advocating gender equality .
When she was 19 years old, Zhang Xiahun visited an airplane flight show with her brother-in-law, who was a military officer in the Beiyang Government. In the middle of the show, she suddenly became interested and actually boarded the co-pilot position of the airplane. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she "flyed on." Heaven." Unfortunately, the plane malfunctioned not long after and crashed to the ground. Zhang Xiahun was seriously injured. When she was sent to the hospital for treatment, she never complained a word even if it hurt again. After hearing the news, the media praised Zhang Xiahun's heroic spirit and called her: "a hero among women, just like a man."
In 1919, Zhu Kezhen married Zhang Xiahun. After the marriage, the two came to Wuhan together. Zhu Kezhen taught at the university and Zhang Xiahun took care of the housework. The couple lived a happy life. In 1936, Zhu Kezhen was hired as the president of Zhejiang University. Zhang Xiahun followed her husband to the southeast. While taking care of their five children, she also assisted her husband in school affairs. She would not hesitate to meet students with financial difficulties. She would lend a helping hand and take special care of female students in faraway places.
In 1938, the Japanese invaded Zhejiang. In order to protect the students from harm, Zhu Kezhen decided to move the school to the relatively safe southwest. He first went to Guilin for inspection, leaving Zhang Xiahun and his children to stay temporarily in Tai'an, Jiangxi. In July of that year, Zhu Kezhen suddenly received a telegram saying that Zhang Xiahun was suffering from malaria and his condition was very bad.
By the time Zhu Kezhen rushed to Zhang Xiahun's side, she was already dying of illness.Zhu Kezhen tried every means to save his wife from hell, but at that time the war was in turmoil and China's medical system was on the verge of collapse. Zhu Kezhen ran for a long time but could not find a specific drug to treat malaria. He could only watch Zhang Xiahun weaken day by day. A month later, Zhang Xiahun came to the end of his life. Zhu Kezhen was extremely sad. He buried his wife on Yuhua Mountain, and then continued to lead the teachers and students to move westward with tears. In 1939, Zhu Kezhen specially established the "Zhang Xiahun Award" at Zhejiang University to commemorate this gentle and great woman.
The marriage of Zhu Kezhen and Zhang Xiahun is enviable. Their fate began with a "gamble" and their relationship began in a troubled generation. Their marriage merged into a university. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. A turmoil will The happy life of the two was shattered, and Zhang Xiahun's death should be the most painful thing in Zhu Kezhen's life! If there is an afterlife, I believe Zhu Kezhen will still unswervingly choose Zhang Xiahun, renew their relationship with her, and accomplish their unfinished business!
