Foreword:
Speaking of Xu Beihong , the first thing everyone thinks of is horses. Because whether it is in elementary school textbooks or in our previous cognition, the most outstanding representative work Xu Beihong has shown us is horses.
However, in fact, apart from painting horses, Xu Beihong has made a huge contribution to the field of painting in my country in an era when reforms and innovations were pursued in various fields in China.
However, Xu Beihong, who has such a superb artistic attainment, has a life-long pain buried in his heart, that is, he believes that his eldest son died because of him. . And the source of all this is because I gave my child a bad name, because I transferred my dissatisfaction with feudal thinking to the child.
was tricked into going home to get married
"Let’s go home and have a look, your father is about to die!"
Xu Beihong, who received the news, embarked on the journey back to his hometown, but he felt very heavy.
Xu Beihong's family is relatively poor. His father is a teacher and he is good at calligraphy and painting. For a while, his father even specialized in painting for a living, to support the family.
Thinking of the days of learning painting and calligraphy with his father, and remembering the encouragement when he was looked down upon, Xu Beihong hoped that he could be faster.
However, the scene after arriving home was beyond his expectation. Although the father who had thought that he was going to be dying could not be alive and well, he did not seem to be in a state of letting go. Before Xu Beihong could figure out the situation, another bad news dragged Xu Beihong into the ice cellar.
"We found you a good girl, this time we called you back to make you two get married."
Xu Beihong at this time is already a 17-year-old young boy.If you are in your hometown, you can already get married at this age, and you may even become a father.
However, Xu Beihong didn't want to accept the arrangement of his parents like other people, and had surrendered his marriage to an unknown woman early on. What he wants is love, not living together like the parents of his generation.
Especially Xu Beihong came into contact with many progressive ideas outside. In Xu Beihong's view, feudal marriage is the greatest confinement to a person. After many explanations were invalid, Xu Beihong could only suppress his dissatisfaction and wait for a good opportunity.
Who knows that the family on the other side has already started preparing for the marriage, which caught Xu Beihong off guard. Seeing that this marriage could not be stopped, Xu Beihong had the idea of running away. It was just that he was caught back when he was escaping, and his father directly forced him to the point where he had to get married.
Xu Beihong knew that he could not escape the "coercion" of his family anyway, so he could only stay at home and befriend a stranger.
named the child "Jisheng", and his son died unexpectedly.
After staying at home and getting married, Xu Beihong was assigned a new task by his family-inheriting the family line.
Xu Beihong did not find a way to escape this time, but actively prepared for the next generation of Xu's family by following the arrangement of the family. One year later Xu Beihong's son was born.
The birth of this child did not bring any joy to Xu Beihong, on the contrary, it aggravated all the dissatisfaction of feudal marriage on the innocent pillow, even this son is guilty in his opinion.
"Jisheng" is Xu Beihong's name for this child, because this is Xu Beihong's child who suffered marital and feudal disasters. The meaning of this name is extremely bad, but Xu Beihong's wife is unable to change anything, so she can only decide on this.
After Xu Beihong had a child, the family did not stop him from continuing to pursue his own artistic path.So Xu Beihong left home without looking back, leaving his wife and son in his hometown, and went to Shanghai by himself.
Xu Beihong's wife received traditional feudal education since she was a child. As long as she married someone, she must regard her husband as the heaven and follow her loyally. What she didn't know was that even if she gave birth to a son, even if she did nothing wrong, she would never be able to get her husband's sincere treatment for the rest of her life.
The letter written by his wife to Xu Beihong about the family and children, Xu Beihong tore it up without even reading it. While pursuing art in Shanghai, he tried to separate himself from his wife. Unfortunately, within a few years, Xu Beihong's father was seriously ill, and Xu Beihong could only return to his hometown to take care of his father until his death.
By chance, Xu Beihong discovered that his son really has a talent for drawing. He obviously never taught him to draw. But after seeing his father draw, Jie Sheng picked up a pen and started to imitate. Looks good.
Perhaps the act of Jiesheng reminds Xu Beihong of his childhood, perhaps Xu Beihong loves painting, so he also looks at Jiesheng differently. After that, Xu Beihong began to teach Jiesheng painting skills like a real father, and his The name was changed to "Jisheng".
It is a pity that Jisheng did not enjoy his father's love for too long before he contracted smallpox. Given the medical conditions at the time, the smallpox virus was also a problem. After all, Ji Sheng did not escape the fate of "jumping the life" and passed away.
Xu Beihong was deeply saddened by the unexpected death of this son, and at the same time he began to think: Did his own name lead to his son's death?
Not long after the death of his son, Xu Beihong's first wife missed her son too much, and died of the disease.
However, Xu Beihong was not too uncomfortable with the death of his wife, because he found the love he longed for.
The other two wives
When Xu Beihong’s eldest son died of illness,Xu Beihong has already eloped abroad with his second wife Jiang Biwei . At that time, the two people were both victims of feudal marriages. Xu Beihong was already married and had children, but Jiang Biwei escaped this fate when he eloped in time.
The first two people really fell in love, but this love is gradually consumed by the trivialities of life. Xu Beihong only cares about his paintings, and never considers whether Jiang Biwei, who is unable to speak the language, will have any emotions.
Xu Beihong doesn't like Jiang Biwei's foreign ladies. Jiang Biwei blames Xu Beihong for not knowing how to care for women. Eight years later, this marriage came to an end.
Xu Beihong Another woman is her own student, named Liao Jingwen . This female student admired Xu Beihong very much, and accompanied Xu Beihong in her last life, so that Xu Beihong still had spiritual comfort when she was ill in bed.
Summary :
Xu Beihong’s career has achieved great success, but his emotional path is just the opposite, from being forced to marry to being defeated by reality, and finally to spending the rest of his life with his students. Xu Beihong has experienced Perhaps only he knows whether there is true love in these three marriages. The unexpected death of his son has also become a pain point in his life, which makes people sigh.
