He said she was the virtuous wife and the most talented daughter. He was Qian Zhongshu . He loved Yang Jiang all his life.
Qian Zhongshu was born in 1910 in the family of scholarly families in Wuxi . When he was a child, he grabbed a book from a bunch of objects and named him Qian Zhongshu. Yang Jiang is also a family of aristocratic families. His father was a senior official of the Republic of China. Later, he resigned to teach and educate people. In 1932, 22-year-old Qian Zhongshu met 21-year-old Yang Jiang on Tsinghua . The two fell in love at first sight. Qian Zhongshu said straight to the point that I was not engaged yet, and Yang Jiang said that I don’t have a boyfriend yet. Yang Jiang wrote a love letter to Qian Zhongshu, with only one word "coward", which means how many people are there in your heart? Qian Zhongshu's reply also had only one word "you", which means that I only have you in my heart Qian Zhongshu.
At that time, many people were waiting for Qian Zhongshu to reply to Yang Jiang's love letter. "后" but unexpectedly, Qian Zhongshu replied with the word "you". Witness their lifelong love.
Qian Zhongshu said that Yang Jiang is uniquely combining three different things, wife, lover and friend. Yang Jiang was actually famous earlier than Qian Zhongshu. As early as 1942, 31-year-old Yang Jiang created her first drama, which was a great success as soon as it was staged. Since then, she has created many scripts one after another. At that time, Qian Zhongshu was even introduced to him as Yang Jiang's husband. Seeing that his wife had achieved great achievements, Qian Zhongshu was not willing to fall behind. He told Yang Jiang that I wanted to write a novel. Yang Jiang was very happy in the future and asked him to write quickly. On the other hand, he silently took care of all the housework and had no complaints. It took a full two years to finally come out by Qian Zhongshu's "Siege of the City".
Forever, sometimes it ends, and this love lasts forever. They wrote a magnificent chapter of their lives with their outstanding achievements. As Tagore said, life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet as autumn leaves.
Later, the two went abroad to study together. Qian Zhongshu has been a nerd since he was a child and lacks basic life skills. Yang Jiang rented a house with a kitchen to take care of her lover's daily life and diet. Yang Jiang always goes to bed late every day, and Qian Zhongshu, who goes to bed early and gets up early, cooks eggs, soaks milk, and bakes bread. He delivers it to Yang Jiang's bed on a tray and calls her to get up and have breakfast. Qian Zhongshu insisted on making breakfast until he was old.
1938 The couple chose to return to China when the country was at its most difficult time. Yang Jiang became the principal of Shanghai Women's School of Political Science and Law, and her father-in-law, Dr. Qian Ji, is an old-fashioned literati, and she disagreed with this. She said that what should women do in their families? It is better to do housework at home. Yang Jiang's father was very angry when he heard this. Is my daughter who I have worked hard for so many years to be a mother who doesn't have any wages for your whole family? Qian Zhongshu, who has always been filial, stood firmly on the side of his father-in-law and his wife. He heard that his wife's school lacked teachers and also recommended two friends to be teachers.
The love between Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang can be regarded as a model and role model for Chinese intellectuals! Love at first sight, end up together, appreciate each other, achieve each other, care for each other, and understand each other.
With the support of Qian Zhongshu, 47-year-old Yang Jiang began to learn Spanish by himself and translated the world famous book "Don Quixote". In 1978, Spanish King visited China. Comrade Deng Xiaoping gave them the "Don Quixote" translated by Yang Jiang as a state gift. Yang Jiang was calm and composed throughout her life. She said that she would not fight with anyone, and she would not bother with anyone. In 1997, their daughter Qian Yuan passed away when she was 59 years old. Before her death, Qian Yuan held her mother Yang Jiang's hand and said, "Mom, I'm tired and want to sleep." Yang Jiang nodded and tucked her quilt, and said softly, then you can rest well. This is the final farewell between mother and daughter.
I didn’t expect that in the second year of his daughter’s departure, in 1998, the 88-year-old Qian Zhongshu also passed away. Tsinghua students stacked tens of thousands of white paper cranes to see Qian Zhongshu off. Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang have been together for 63 years. Before Qian Zhongshu passed away, he once commented on Yang Jiang. I never thought of getting married before when I saw her. I never regretted marrying her for decades, nor did I think of marrying her. He also made an even more absolute confession to Yang Jiang. From now on, we will only be separated from death and will never be separated from life.
Two lucky and noble souls, regard everything prosperity as dust, come cleanly, and go cleanly, it’s great!
86-year-old foreign general lost his daughter and husband, and could only live the rest of his life by relying on memories. Yang Jiang fell seriously ill at the age of 100 and was in critical condition. She felt that she had the chance to go to heaven to see Qian Zhongshu and her daughter Qian Yuan, but she was also very scared. What kind of way should I use to meet them? What Qian Zhongshu remembers is definitely not what I look like when I was 100 years old. What he remembers may be the girl with braids when we were just dating, or the lover who was accompanying him at the desk. If I go to see him now, will he still recognize me? Death is not sad. Perhaps the greatest sorrow is that even if we meet, we are ignorant, and our faces are covered with frost, so Yang Jiang said that I miss the three of us alone.
in the book Yang Jiang wrote that I have reached the edge of the edge of life. I know very well that I am about to go home. I have to wash away the filth that has been stained for 100 years and go home. My heart is as calm as water. I should welcome every day peacefully and prepare to go home. On May 25, 2016, Yang Jiang returned home at the age of 105. Tens of thousands of paper cranes flew up on the Tsinghua campus to see her off. Yang Jiang and Qian Zhongshu once donated all the royalties to poor students at Tsinghua University during their lifetime. The two of them lived an extremely simple life themselves. Their homes were plain white walls and concrete floors, and there was still a handprint on the ceiling, which was left by Yang Jiang when she was climbing a ladder to change the light bulb. Yang Jiang said that everyone will have an extremely difficult time, including the pressure of life, the frustration of work, the pressure of academic studies, the love is in panic, and if you survive through it all day long, your life will be suddenly enlightened. If you can't survive, time will teach you how to shake hands with them. The love between Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang can be regarded as a model and role model for Chinese intellectuals! Love at first sight, end up together, appreciate each other, achieve each other, care for each other, and understand each other.
