In modern China, with the atmosphere of open thinking, many intellectual women bravely broke through the barriers of feudal ethics, resolutely broke with their families, and bravely pursued love, freedom and happiness.
Some of them are favored by the goddess of fate and gain lifelong stability and happiness. However, many women have chosen the wrong person, taken the wrong path, suffered from life, and died miserably.
Gao Junman belongs to the latter.
When it comes to her name, many people don’t know her now, but when it comes to her husband, it is a big name: Chen Duxiu .
The love story between Gao Junman and Chen Duxiu is actually a complete tragedy if judged by the current people's "personal supremacy" view.
1886, Gao Junman was born in Huaining, Anhui Province. His father, Gao Dengke, was the deputy general of the Qing army in Anqing Prefecture, and his family was from a wealthy family.
She is naturally beautiful, lively and cute, and is loved by her father. She made an exception and did not bind her feet, and asked a famous teacher to teach her studies.
Gao Junman is smart, has a strong personality, and makes rapid progress in learning. Later, her father sent her to Beijing Women's Higher Normal School to continue her further studies, further energizing her thinking and enriching her insights.
Because of a relative, Gao Junman often goes to his sister (half-father ) Gao Xiaolan 's house, and gradually becomes familiar with his brother-in-law Chen Duxiu.
Gao Xiaolan is Chen Duxiu's original wife, a completely old-fashioned woman: foot binding, illiterate, and abide by the traditional woman's morality. She has no knowledge and can only serve her husband and parents-in-law.
Gao Xiaolan is gentle and kind. At the beginning, 17-year-old Chen Duxiu liked her very much. In four years, Gao Xiaolan gave birth to three sons and one daughter for him ( The eldest son Yannian, the second son Qiao Nian, the eldest daughter Yu Ying, and the third son Song Nian ).
However, after Chen Duxiu witnessed the corruption of the Qing court and decided to save the country and the nation, the two had rifts.
Chen Duxiu was wanted by the Qing court and went into exile everywhere. After studying in Japan, he became more determined to fight the Qing Dynasty.
But how easy is the anti-Qing Dynasty? Life will be lost at any time, but Gao Xiaolan, a traditional woman, believes that the people should be at peace and listen to the court.
The huge ideological gap can no longer be bridged. In addition, Chen Duxiu has a stubborn personality, conceited and irritable personality, so the two quarreled when they met and had a big fight.
This is what happens in the world: some people regard you as an alien, and some people regard you as an idol.
wife sister Gao Junman especially admires this brother-in-law who "dreams day and night, has new ideas, advocates making decisions, criticisms are left to fate, and opposes feudal system." She also appreciates his extensive knowledge and likes to read his articles.
Two people get closer and closer in their spirit, and their hearts get tighter and tighter, like wild horses breaking away from their reins, falling in love uncontrollably.
Love awakens a heart that is tired of the relationship between men and women; love also conceals a girl's heart that is about to be in love and "looks back on the door, but smells the green plums."
Two equally stubborn and brave men and women left everything behind to get married.
After marriage, Chen Duxiu and his wife followed each other and soon had a love crystallization: Daughter Chen Zimei and son Chen Henian.
At this time, Gao Junman loved her passionately and darkly. At the age of 23, she fell in love with Chen Duxiu.
At this time, Gao Junman was the gentlest, sharpest, the stupidest, and the bravest.
She faced her lover Chen Duxiu with softness and perseverance, and also faced all the people who blocked their love with courage and harshness.
She followed Chen Duxiu and ran around, wholeheartedly supporting her husband to realize his great ideal.
First Chen Duxiu was appointed Secretary-General of the Anqing Governor's Office, and later resigned against Yuan Shikai, running around to fight against Yuan, Anqing, Nanjing, Shanghai, and running everywhere, Gao Junman followed him without regrets.
In July 1914, Chen Duxiu went to Japan to promote the Chinese revolution with a group of fellow people. Gao Junman was alone in Shanghai, doing housework alone, overworked, and even pleating hem. Even so, Gao Junman still has no regrets.
After Chen Duxiu returned to China, he founded the magazine "New Youth" and launched the new culture movement. Gao Junman came to Beijing with his husband. At this time, due to the bumpy life, the hard work of housework and the entanglement of illness, Gao Junman was not very strong and thinner. Even so, Gao Junman still has no regrets.
As her husband Chen Duxiu's career becomes more and more developed, Gao Junman drags his weak body to see him off and takes care of his four children (Yannian, Qiao Nian, Zimei, Henian). She handles housework, supports their home, shares Chen Duxiu's achievements, and shares his dangers.
In 1919, Chen Duxiu was arrested and released from prison on bail three months later. In order to avoid pursuit, Chen Duxiu returned to Shanghai again with his wife and children and "New Youth" magazine. But as Chen Duxiu became more and more revolutionary, their danger became greater and greater. Even so, Gao Junman still has no regrets.
On October 4, 1921, the French Concession Police suddenly arrested Chen Duxiu's family and went to prison. Although Gao Junman followed his husband through storms, it was the first time he was in jail. She overcomes her fear and tries her best to protect her husband Chen Duxiu.
After this year, Chen Duxiu has become busier and has no time and energy to take care of his family.
At this time, Gao Junman was already 35 years old. The woman's character and the hardships of life made her extremely haggard. She began to reflect on her actions back then: Is it really worth following Chen Duxiu desperately? After all, this man belongs to the country and the nation, not to himself.
The two began to quarrel, which has never happened since marriage. With the first time, there will be the second time, the third time...the relationship between the two people is in crisis.
Gao Junman's last little support collapsed. She came to Nanjing with her two children and found a thatched hut in the suburbs to settle down.
The time like water, letting the flow, it thins Chen Duxiu's endless affection for Gao Junman, but how can you forget the past togetherness and the warmth of the fireworks in your memory?
After all, I am ashamed of my wife and children. Chen Duxiu used his savings and royalties to buy two houses and ten acres of land for Gao Junman’s three sons outside the Dongmen of Nanjing to compensate. "A couple has a hundred days of kindness", the marriage has ended, and the flesh and blood are connected!
But as a woman of that era, it was really not easy for Gao Junman to raise two young children. She does odd jobs for others, grows vegetables and raises chickens by herself, and then takes them out for sale. She doesn't want to let go of every copper coins.
Whenever the night is late, loneliness and loneliness surge into my heart, and the hard but beautiful past of the past appears before me again.
1927, China was in turmoil and changing. Chen Duxiu is at the forefront of the storm and will lose his life at any time and implicate his family. In July of the same year, in June 1928, Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian were killed one after another. The death of the two sons was a heavy blow to Gao Junman.
Although they are not biological children, they are their sister's children after all. Gao Junman has always regarded them as their own children, loved them very much, and regarded them as close relatives.
Their death made Gao Junman, who was already worried, lose weight day by day. At this time, because her health was getting worse, she could no longer work and earn money, so she had to rely on the monthly royalties sent by Chen Duxiu.
Even for this little money, it is getting less and less. Under multiple stresses, Gao Junman's original hemoptysis is even more serious, and he also suffers from uterine cancer.
"Cold and deserted, miserable and miserable", unfortunately one after another, at this moment, in a tragic situation, the tragic Gao Junman hoped that Chen Duxiu could return to her side.
, this kind of thought can only be a luxury.
11931, Gao Junman, who was in poverty and illness, died between hope and disappointment, and closed her beautiful eyes forever at the age of 46.
Flowers fade and fly all over the sky, and who can pity them if you lose the red fragrance?
