Love is a smoke blown by sighs; there are the purified Mars in the eyes of lovers, and the tears of lovers are the waves that they startle. It is the wisest madness, is the bitter taste of choking throat, and it is the honey that cannot be eaten. Waiting for the right love is like rain waiting for an umbrella, and betting is its lifelong destiny. It doesn't have to be vigorous, but it must make people happy. Different people have different pursuits for the correct love, so the definitions are naturally different.
As the president of Peking University, Jiang Menglin is an unavailable talent in the education industry in China. Under his guidance, Peking University has cultivated batches of national pillars . He selflessly dedicated his youth to Peking University. While he became famous, his life experiences were praised by future generations.
Educational Talent
1886, Jiang Menglin was born in Yuyao Village, Zhejiang Province. His parents were not very educated, and his family situation was only to maintain a level of life. Even his name was chosen casually: when he was born, his father dreamed of a big bear, so when he was a child, he called Jiang Mengxiong .
Although the family situation is average, their parents still want Jiang Menglin to read and recognize words and receive education, so they made the most important decision in their lives: to raise money to send Jiang Menglin to a private school. Although Jiang Menglin's family is poor, he is very talented in studying. He loves writing and often finds his teacher and classmates to borrow books to read in private schools. While his peers are laughing and chasing and fighting, Jiang Menglin can't put it down. He holds the book and looks at it all day long.
He was very serious in class and cherished the learning opportunities of that were hard to get. In class, Jiang Menglin was always meticulous, and after class he also studied his homework desperately in his spare time, so that Jiang Menglin could answer all the questions raised by the Master, which surprised the students and the Master, and believed that Jiang Menglin was a rare and capable material.
In 1898, Jiang Menglin entered the Shaoxing Chinese and Western School. At this time, Cai Yuanpei, who later became the president of Peking University, was serving as the president there. In a brand new environment, his love for learning has not diminished at all, and he has even become more fanatical. When he saw that many children from poor families could not receive a complete education, Jiang Menglin felt very heartbroken. He secretly vowed that he would change this situation in the future and allow more people to receive corresponding education. The dream of education took root in his heart.
1900, Jiang Menglin came to a church school in Hangzhou to teach English. In order to improve his educational level, in 1908, Jiang Menglin went abroad to study. During his study abroad, he had always been concerned about the education industry he wanted to engage in. In 1917, he obtained a doctorate degree from Columbia University, which was a very rare thing at that time. After becoming famous in , he gave up his high salary and generous treatment abroad, and resolutely decided to return to China to realize his educational dream.
After returning to China, Jiang Menglin first served as the editor-in-chief of " Education Magazine " in Commercial Press. In 1919, Jiang Menglin became a professor in the Department of Education of Peking University and was promoted to the general affairs director in the same year. Due to his outstanding teaching achievements, Jiang Menglin's ability was very favored by the then president Cai Yuanpei. In 1930, he was hired as the president of Peking University. Since then, he has worked in this position for twenty-five years, providing great help to the growth of Peking University.
The marriage is bumpy
In Jiang Menglin's life, he had three marriages in total. The private life of this educator who was willing to pursue love was also talked about at that time. Jiang Menglin's first wife was Sun Yushu . Sun Yushu was the wife arranged by Jiang Menglin's parents. Jiang Menglin was still young and did not understand the love affairs of men and women in the world, so he accepted this wife in a confused manner.
Sun Yushu is undoubtedly a very decent wife. She is very virtuous and very dull, so dull that she is even a little slow. Her and Jiang Menglin's thoughts are never on the same dimension .Jiang Menglin always answered questions when asked by her. Jiang Menglin's communication with her was very troublesome and difficult. This passionless marriage made Jiang Menglin feel depressed. He originally planned to just go on like this, and he met Tao Zenggu.
Tao Zenggu was very young at the time and was serving as Jiang Menglin's secretary. Before this, Tao Zenggu also had a marriage. His ex-husband was Jiang Menglin's friend Gao Renshan. Later, Gao Renshan passed away and entrusted Tao Zenggu to Jiang Menglin to take care of him before his death. He was willing to give his friends. In addition, Tao Zenggu was young, beautiful and understanding. Jiang Menglin fell in love with her soon. Jiang Menglin's friend Hu Shi also supported this marriage very much and blessed them.
Good times didn't last long. After marriage, Tao Zenggu's nature was soon exposed. she spent money and tied up Jiang Menglin more . In front of Tao Zenggu, Jiang Menglin had almost no freedom in life, which made him very upset. Soon after, Tao Zenggu passed away, and so, Jiang Menglin returned to his life as a bachelor.
Jiang Menglin decided to execute his pursuit of love for the rest of his life. At the age of 74, Jiang Menglin met his third wife, Xu Xianle, . Although Xu Xianle was 52 years old, she was elegant and intellectual, and could speak wisely. She took advantage of Jiang Menglin's money and used all her sweet words to capture the heart of this educator and succeeded. However, Xu Xianle's reputation in the outside world is not good. In order to prevent his friend Hu Shi from being opposed by him, Jiang Menglin secretly married Xu Xianle.
I thought it was a happy marriage, but unexpectedly, after Xu Xianle married Jiang Menglin, he almost controlled all his money, which made Jiang Menglin even a problem with eating. There was no way, so Jiang Menglin had to appeal for a divorce in the court, which caused a lot of sensation at that time. . In order to successfully divorce, Jiang Menglin paid a full 500,000 yuan in support, and was regained freedom. As the president of Peking University and a famous educator, he still went to court at the age of 70, which also became a topic of discussion for all walks of life after dinner.
In fact, pursuing love is a barbarian right or wrong, but blind pursuit is not desirable. Only when you meet the right person can you walk through this long life together. Life is barbarian for many years. You should focus on enjoying a real love rather than trying the wrong love. true love is dedicated.
The private area of love is very small, so small that it can only accommodate two people to survive. If you are just looking for passers-by in your life, then this cannot be called love. Compared with the true vows, it is just a game of life .
