Speaking of Xu Zhimo , people always think of his talent and passion, and his love poems, as well as Lin Huiyin , Lu Xiaoman . Zhang Youyi Although Xu Zhimo's first wife, she seems to be so overshadowed in front of Lin Huiyin and Lu Xiaoman that she forgets her existence.

In fact, Zhang Youyi is also a strange woman. She is not only beautiful and virtuous, but also talented. After being abandoned by Xu Zhimo, she did not recover, but wrote her own brilliant chapter. Only when Xu Zhimo died, Zhang Youyi's approach was even more amazing.

What kind of woman is Zhang Youyi? How was Xu Zhimo's life after her death? For more information, please see below.

1900, Zhang Youyi was born in the Zhang family in , Baoshan, Jiangsu. The Zhang family was well-off and had no worries about food and clothing. Although they were conservative as a feudal family, they were also influenced by new ideas. Especially her second brother Zhang Junmai (famous philosopher) and fourth brother Zhang Jiayu (famous banker), are even more open-minded people.

Mother bound Zhang Youyi's feet, which made Zhang Youyi scream and cry. Zhang Junmai didn't want his sister to suffer, so he asked his mother not to bind Zhang Youyi's feet. But my mother said: I am soft-hearted now, and she will not be able to get married in the future with her big feet. Zhang Junmai said loudly: If no one marrys her, I will take care of her. In the end, Zhang Youyi escaped.

In July 1912, Jiangsu Governor Cheng Dequan founded Jiangsu Provincial Second Women's Normal School in in Suzhou . After Zhang Junmai saw the admission notice on " application for ", he helped Zhang Youyi go there to study. At Jiangsu Provincial Second Women's Normal School, Zhang Youyi received advanced education.

Unfortunately, when he was about to get his graduation certificate, Zhang Youyi had to drop out of school because of early marriage. At that time, Zhang Youyi was only 15 years old and her marriage was arranged by her brothers. At that time, Zhang Youyi's second and fourth brothers had already made their mark in society.

When the fourth brother Zhang Jiayu was appointed as the secretary of the Zhejiang Governor, he was moved by the talent of Xu Zhimo who was still in school, so he suggested betrothing his sister to him. After Xu Zhimo's father learned the news, he immediately agreed to the marriage. Later, Zhang Junmai took Xu Zhi, the giant in Mobike's ideological circle, Liang Qichao, as his teacher. Zhang Junmai and Liang Qichao are both teachers and friends, and have a very close relationship.

Zhang Youyi admires and trusts her brother, and of course she completely trusts her future husband she chose for herself. She naively thought that Xu Zhimo would fall in love with herself because of her gentleness and peace. Later she learned that when Xu Zhimo first saw her photo, she said in a disgusting tone: Countryside buns. However, Xu Zhimo did not dare to be independent in marriage, and finally married Zhang Youyi according to his parents' orders. This also directly led to Zhang Youyi's later misfortune marriage.

1915, 15-year-old Zhang Youyi married Xu Zhimo. Their bridal night was not gentle or romance. Later, Zhang Youyi said: The silence between us began from that night. However, Zhang Youyi did not make a little mean because of her husband's indifference. Before getting married, my mother gave her two tips: 1. When you enter the Xu family, you must not say no; 2. No matter what the relationship between husband and wife is, you must be respectful to your parents-in-law.

Shortly after the wedding, Xu Zhimo left home and went to study in another place. First I went to Beiyang University in Tianjin, then transferred to , Peking University, and finally went to the UK. Zhang Youyi could only see Xu Zhimo during the winter and summer vacations, and Xu Zhimo ignored her at other times except for occasionally sleeping with Zhang Youyi. Even though Zhang Youyi gave birth to a son for Xu Zhimo, Xu Zhimo's attitude towards his wife did not improve.

On the contrary, Xu Zhimo thought that he had completed the task of inheriting the family line, so he proposed to study abroad, but his parents did not stop him. After Xu Zhimo went abroad, he seemed to have completely forgotten Zhang Youyi, and he did not mention Zhang Youyi every time he wrote.

After Zhang Junmai knew about this situation, he suggested that Zhang Youyi go to the UK to find Xu Zhimo.Zhang Youyi's parents-in-law finally agreed to let his daughter-in-law go abroad, one could take care of Xu Zhimo and the other could tie Xu Zhimo's wandering heart.

In the winter of 1920, 20-year-old Zhang Youyi came to London, England alone. The child Ah Huan ( Xu Jiaqi ) was raised by her parents-in-law in China. When the mail ship was about to dock, Zhang Youyi recognized Xu Zhimo in the crowd on the dock at a glance. However, Xu Zhimo had only disgust and unhappiness on his face, and he was not half happy or excited. Later, when Zhang Youyi recalled the scene at that time, he said: he always was like that, and he didn't look at me directly, as if I didn't exist, and looked at me above my head .

At that time, 16-year-old Lin Huiyin happened to travel in London with her father Lin Changmin . Lin Huiyin was young and beautiful and loved literature. After she met Xu Zhimo, her relationship quickly heated up. After Lin Changmin discovered that something was wrong, he decisively asked Lin Huiyin to leave London. At that time, Lin Huiyin had been engaged to Liang Sicheng , and Xu Zhimo even had a wife and children.

But Xu Zhimo seemed to have met his first love and did not realize Lin Changmin's intention at all. He was just thinking about how to stay with Lin Huiyin forever. This destined that Zhang Youyi's situation would be extremely sad. Although Zhang Youyi was docile, she was not a silly woman. She soon discovered her husband's love for Lin Huiyin.

Zhang Youyi became pregnant shortly after she arrived in London. Although Xu Zhimo did not love her, she did not reject her beauty and young body. But when Zhang Youyi told Xu Zhimo about her pregnancy, Xu Zhimo said without hesitation: Abortion!

At that moment, Zhang Youyi's heart was simply hurt. Zhang Youyi said to Xu Zhimo: Didn’t you hear that abortion is dangerous ? Xu Zhimo replied ruthlessly: also heard that the train will overturn. Don’t you take the train? ?

Immediately afterwards, Xu Zhimo proposed a long-awaited idea, asking to divorce Zhang Youyi so that he could be with Lin Huiyin. Abortion and divorce are a huge blow to Zhang Youyi, who has just become pregnant, or to any woman. She never expected that Xu Zhimo, a talented man who was usually gentle, would be so ruthless.

Zhang Youyi did not agree to Xu Zhimo's request, but Xu Zhimo left and left Zhang Youyi, who was pregnant, in London alone. Until the birth period approached, Xu Zhimo still did not appear. Zhang Youyi had to ask for help from her second brother Zhang Junmai, and came to Germany alone to give birth to the child in Germany.

Shortly after Zhang Youyi gave birth to her second child, Xu Zhimo suddenly appeared. However, Xu Zhimo did not come to visit or take care of Zhang Youyi, but came to Zhang Youyi to divorce with documents about the divorce. Zhang Youyi's heart was completely broken. She didn't cry or make a fuss. She agreed to divorce Xu Zhimo and took care of her newborn child alone.

and Lin Huiyin did not choose to get together with Xu Zhimo in the end. Before parting, Lin Huiyin wrote a famous letter to Xu Zhimo:

Zhimo, I left, with the box of memory, our affection and our friendship, have already been said and what has not been said yet... Forgive my cowardice, I am still an immature girl... Last time you and Youyi went to Germany, when I, Dad, and Brother Xiying bid farewell to you, the moment the train started, you and Youyi stuck their heads out the window, beside your face, she looked at me with a pair of sad, despair, prayer and jealous eyes...

Xu Zhimo could not get together with Lin Huiyin, but met the socialite Lu Xiaoman in the Crescent Club. Although Lu Xiaoman is not as beautiful as a fairy, she is charming. Even Hu Shi also calls her "a landscape that must be seen in Beijing City ." At that time, Lu Xiaoman had married and her husband, Wang Geng, was Xu Zhimo's friend. Wang Geng is a soldier and is very busy on weekdays, so he entrusted his friend Xu Zhimo to accompany Lu Xiaoman more.

Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman get closer and closer, and gradually develop feelings for each other. This relationship is contrary to morality and cannot be tolerated by society and family.Xu Zhimo then asked his friend to do the job of Wang Geng and Lu Xiaoman's mother, and asked Wang Geng to divorce Lu Xiaoman, and asked Hu Shi to come forward to persuade his father, Xu Shenru, to agree to the marriage. Xu Shenru took this opportunity to split the family and gave Zhang Youyi and her son some of the property.

In October 1926, Lu Xiaoman and Xu Zhimo got married. In his speech at the marriage testimony, Liang Qichao criticized Xu Zhimo's indecent affection and Lu Xiaoman's disobedience, warning the two of them to get married only for the last time. Zhang Youyi returned to China with her youngest son's ashes, buried her youngest son in the west mountain of Kuangshi and returned to Shanghai, starting another new life. Zhang Youyi's second son was congenital inadequate and extremely weak, and died at the age of three.

Zhang Youyi ended her unfortunate marriage and lost her husband, but did not lose herself. She began to realize that she could not always be a housewife and could not always rely on others. So, Zhang Youyi entered the Pestarozzi Academy in Germany, and while taking care of her young son, she studied education, gradually becoming a knowledge woman in the new era.

Although Zhang Youyi was abandoned by Xu Zhimo, she still interpreted the traditional virtues of the East to the extreme - arranged the daily life of her parents-in-law until she died for her parents-in-law; raised her son to adulthood, helped her son marry a wife, and sent them to study abroad; raised four grandchildren...

1931, Xu Zhimo learned that Lin Huiyin was going to hold a lecture at the Peking Union Medical College Hall, and quickly flew north from Nanjing, but the plane accidentally crashed into the mountains. After Xu Zhimo was killed, Lu Xiaoman refused to go to Shandong to collect the body. Zhang Youyi asked his younger brother Zhang Yujiu to take his 13-year-old son Ah Huan to collect the body. Afterwards, Zhang Youyi went to attend the funeral as the adopted daughter of the Xu family.

Xu Zhimo said that Zhang Youyi was a rural bun, which definitely despised Zhang Youyi. After Xu Zhimo's death, Zhang Youyi not only sent off Xu Zhimo's parents, but also raised his children and grandchildren and cultivated them into talents. He also became the vice president of China's first women's commercial bank and successfully ran the famous Yunshang Women's Fashion Company.

Although Zhang Youyi was able to share some of the property, she understood that all the gold and silver mountains would be eaten up. Therefore, Zhang Youyi first made a living by relying on her ability in society, and then started her own business. She studied pedagogy in Germany, so she first went to Soviet University to teach German. Afterwards, people from Shanghai Women's Commercial Bank came to her and asked her to serve as president. At that time, banks were facing a major crisis and the loaned funds were always unable to be collected.

people from the bank originally planned to solve the problem by suing, but they were so poor that they couldn't afford to hire a lawyer. Zhang Youyi believes that those who owe money are friends? They should work with them to find ways to raise money and repay the money instead of spending money to sue. After all, even if the lawsuit is won, the others still can't pay it back without money. In the end, Zhang Youyi helped the bank through the crisis with her connections and abilities.

In addition, Zhang Youyi also opened a fashion company on Nanjing Road . This fashion company not only sells ready-made clothes, but also asks people to design some fashionable styles to display them in the window for customers to refer to. Zhang Youyi's fashion styles and fine workmanship quickly became the favorite of fashionable girls on Nanjing Road.

has a successful career and a family of children and grandchildren. Zhang Youyi, who was abandoned by Xu Zhimo, eventually became a winner in life through her own efforts. In 1953, Zhang Youyi married a doctor named Su, and the two spent twenty years of loving life together.

Zhang Youyi did two very intriguing things in her later years: one was the first to publish a complete collection of Xu Zhimo's poems and essays on Baodao, and the other was to revisit Cambridge, England in 1967, and even went to see the small house where she lived with Xu Zhimo. It is not difficult to see that Zhang Youyi always has Xu Zhimo's place in her heart, although Xu Zhimo has never had her in her heart.
