The Fall of a Great Writing Manga
On September 15, 1942, a simple wedding ceremony was being held in a "Rongsheng Hotel" in a small town in Badong, western Sumatra.
The groom’s surname is Zhao, his name is Lian, a Fujian native of China. He is about forty-five years old, with thick and short eyebrows, small eyes, single eyelids, high cheekbones, deep and concave cheeks, making his chin look very sharp, his appearance is not high, but his whole body exudes a strong bookish atmosphere.
The bride's surname is He and her name is Lianyou. She was born in Sumatra. She is from Guangdong, China. She is only twenty years old. She has a round face and a white skin. She is very young. Unfortunately, she looks plain, with high eyebrows, a flat nose, square mouth, and her facial features are incomparable.
Originally, on the wedding night of an old couple, the elderly husband married a young wife, so he should be happy. However, the old groom did not feel any joy. Instead, the young bride kept grinning, and the red glow on her round face was shy or surprised.
Speaking of which, it is really a surprise to this little bride.
The young bride's grandfather was treated as a laborer during the Opium War and came to Sumatra. Her ancestors had no culture and even her own motherland was almost forgotten. She only spoke Malay, had a low social status and a difficult life. Although the groom is not a rich man, he has a wide range of friendship and is born with an attractive charm. No matter where he goes, he will receive help from many people. He came to Badong only in 1941, and in just a few months he gained a foothold. Not only was he a shareholder of this "Rongsheng Hotel", he also operated a "Zhao Yuji Winery" alone, and his business was still booming. Marrying such a husband will probably not suffer any more in the rest of your life.
So, at the wedding, the little bride was always smiling.
Seeing the little bride's silly look, the groom told the guest to congratulate her bluntly that she was "Po Tao".
"Potao" is Malay, meaning "fool".
Call your beloved "fool", and often it is a nickname or a love name. However, when the groom said this, he did not express much pity, but instead revealed a kind of disdain and disgust.
A wedding night, the wine is gone, and it’s time to enter the bridal chamber.
The groom called the guests to shout and started playing mahjong.
played for more than ten times in a row. The guests couldn't bear to see the bride staying alone in the empty room, so they urged the groom to enter the bridal chamber.
Although the groom opened a winery, he rarely drank on weekdays. He was annoyed by his friends, so he drank several glasses before he was ready to go back to his room.
However, he turned around and came back, and someone took the pen and ink, took the pen and took the pleasure, and wrote four seven-character poems in one breath to commemorate the wedding. The title is "Four Untitled Poems" (using the original rhymes of the four character poems in the poem).
One of the poems is written like this:
The red candle in the bridal chamber is Zhang Xian, the jade style is better than the little pity;
Farewell Wentong still has hatred, how can Yu Xin forget his years when he is sad?
Why do you have to ask for makeup? The compilation should also be listed in the outer chapter;
One from Su Qing is on the sea, the collagen is easy to continue the heartstrings.
Another song is:
Laughing at the jade mirror platform, when will I go to Changxi Lake?
are all floating in the world because of the chaos, so how can I walk late and partridges?
The home country is three thousand and a thousand years old, and the melon period is two or eight years old.
From now on, I will try to write a picture of the butterfly of the King of Teng.
This groom is indeed a scholar who is well-read in poetry and books. He is extraordinary and has a great literary spirit.
Just think about it, just such a seven-character poem, ordinary poets have to recite it for more than a day before they can write one. He picked up his pen and wrote four poems in a row!
However, since ancient times to the present, no one will use "Untitled" in all the "Poems for Encouraging Makeup" written on the evening of marriage. Moreover, the line in the poem, "The compilation should also be included in the outer chapters" clearly means that my marriage is just a play.
What's the matter with this?
Fortunately, the bride is not educated and illiterate, so she will not understand it if others explain it to her. Otherwise, with this poem, the quality of her marriage will be greatly affected in the future.
Shortly after marriage, He Lian became pregnant.He Lian has a husband who loves her very much, but she hates her husband two things:
1. Her husband likes to read books. Her house is full of books, and she is full of books, and she can be seen everywhere on the table, chairs, floors, and even on the bed. It is really annoying to pack it up every day. Even if she packed up and put it on the bookshelf, she felt that it was inappropriate and she couldn't understand why her husband liked reading so much!
2. For some reason, many girls always come to find their husbands. When they meet, they chat endlessly. They don’t understand them. I wonder what they are messing with? It's so annoying!
Seeing his wife angry, Boss Zhao didn't explain to her, but sometimes he couldn't help but said to his friends happily: "This fool is so jealous. Whenever a beautiful woman comes, she doesn't care whether she is forced to stay in the door or not, and it's useless to explain to her."
The real name of his wife is He Lianyou. When Boss Zhao saw that she was mediocre, he joked with her and changed her name to He Liyou. What does it mean to be Lizhiyou?
He Lianyou has never read a book for a day, but how could he know the difference between He Lianyou and He Liyou? She loved her husband and happily accepted all her husband's arrangements. From then on, she happily claimed to be He Liyoulai.
A year later, He Liyou gave birth to a boy, and Boss Zhao named it University.
Boss Zhao loves college very much and gradually develops deep feelings for He Liyou, whom she calls "Potao". Boss Zhao named his son a university, which is actually a satirizing the "Greater East Asian University Co-prosperity Circle" promoted by Japanese militarism.
At this time, the Japanese forces had swept across Southeast Asia. In Bukit Tinggi, not far from Patong, there is a Japanese military police force stationed.
This gendarmerie heard that Boss Zhao is a Chinese who is proficient in Japanese and once forced Boss Zhao to serve as the translator of the gendarmerie.
Boss Zhao is very reluctant, but under the enemy's tyranny, he had to reluctantly agree. He declared to the Japanese that he only had to interpret the interpretation voluntarily and did not accept the salary of the military police.
He Li doesn't understand why her husband hates Japanese so much.
On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender, and Boss Zhao was so happy that he was a little disobedient.
That day, he drank a lot of wine. It was the first time that He Li knew that her husband’s alcohol tolerance was so high!
It turns out that under the Japanese rule, Boss Zhao has been careful to quit drinking, because he is worried that he will make a mistake after drinking, so he will stop trying it casually. From this day on, Boss Zhao gave up his guard and started drinking wildly.
In fact, at this time, the coalition forces in many areas of Nanyang had not yet been accepted and were still stationed by the Japanese. However, many underground staff came out, and many anti-diary men also appeared in the "Zhao Yuji Winery".
Boss Zhao, his wife He Liyou and his son took several photos in college to commemorate the arduous eight-year war of resistance.
However, on August 29, something happened.
That night, Boss Zhao was discussing with several friends at home about ending the factory and returning home. A young man named him and said he wanted to find Boss Zhao Lian and Zhao.
So Boss Zhao went out with him, and he never came back after he went there.
The next morning, He Liyou gave birth to another daughter.
This girl was born, her father has been missing for twelve hours, and friends went out to inquire about it but there was no news.
Someone found a piece of paper in Boss Zhao's cabinet.
That is a will, which says:
is over 54 years old, and he dies now and enjoys his middle life. There are unexpected changes in the world. Every year, I will write my last words in case.
Since changing business, it has been planned to be eight years old, and the surplus of income has been given to the poor people of friends and relatives, so there is not much storage. According to statistics, the cash deposit is about 20,000 shield; the property in the family is worth about 30,000 shield; the Danjiebao is located in a house with a grass house, and the land is about 125 meters long and 25 meters wide, with a total of more than 14,000 shields; all such industries and cash deposits should be divided by his wife He Liyou and his son-in-law and his younger brother or sister (not yet born). The paper mill and Qijiapo share capital have not been included because it has not been determined.
Domestic property, there is a residential building in Hangzhou officialdom, with a collection of 500,000 books. After this chaos, I don’t know if it exists? There are three sons in China, Fei, Yun and Jun. Although they have no inheritance, they are expected to have grown up and become a man. The land is thousands of miles apart. If you want to ask for information, you will not be able to reach it. I have written more than dozens of works under my pen name, and so far. If a royalty is not taken, if someone negotiates with the "Shanghai Beixin Bookstore" that publishes the book, then the three sons who are in China can earn tens of thousands of yuan. However, this is an unknown number, not a certain property, so there is no need to write. On the New Year's Day of Yiyou, Zhao Lian.
After hearing that others read this will, He Liyou stared at her and didn’t believe it, and couldn’t understand why her husband Zhao Lian lived so tiring? Do you have to make a will every year?
Friends couldn't bear it and told her: "Your husband is Yu Dafu!"
Who is Yu Dafu? Who is Yu Dafu!
He Liyou, who doesn’t scold a lot of big words, certainly wouldn’t know who Yu Dafu is.
Yu Dafu is a literary master who is as famous as Lu Xun, Guo Moruo and others. After his marriage with a famous beauties Wang Yingxia, he resolutely "destroyed his family" and traveled to Hainan. He first served as the editor-in-chief of Sin Chew Daily. When the Pacific War broke out, he was promoted to the executive member of the "Singapore Overseas Chinese Anti-Enemy Mobilization Committee" and the chairman of the "Singapore Cultural Anti-Japanese Federation". He also presided over the "Singapore Cultural Wartime Service Team" and the "Wartime Work Cadre Training Class".
After the Japanese invaders extended their claws into the South China Sea, the British Navy's "Pacific Fleet" was destroyed. The British and Indian troops guarding Malaysia were defeated step by step. In January 1942, the Japanese army arrived at Johor's New Shantou Bridge, and Singapore refused to defend, and Yu Dafu also lived his life again.
After wandering to Badong in Sumatra, Yu Dafu's pseudonym was Zhao Lian, and his hometown was also changed to Fujian. He rented a house named Cai from the local overseas Chinese, and got a few patriotic overseas Chinese businessmen and cultural figures. He secretly collected a considerable amount of funds and opened the "Zhao Yuji Winery" to operate the local winemaking method to supply his life and maintain the necessary expenses of several wandering cultural people.
The Japanese coerced him to serve as the translator of the military police. He reluctantly dealt with the Japanese, but he also protected and rescued many overseas Chinese in Sumatra and arrested people from Indonesians.
Yu Dafu's winery is well run, the house is elegant and beautiful, and there are constant customers at home, but there is no family, which aroused the Japanese's alertness. It was in this situation that Yu Dafu unconditionally married He Liyou in order to avoid the enemy's suspicion and cover up his identity.
However, even if He Liyou is married, he still cannot escape the Japanese's pursuit. The Japanese detective methods were really good. In November 1944, the Japanese investigated Yu Dafu's identity clearly.
After the Japanese military police asked his superiors for instructions, he asked Yu Dafu to come to the headquarters. The military police leader pointed to a bunch of novels written by Yu Dafu and asked, who wrote these books?
Yu Dafu is calm and says that Zhao Lian is his name and Yu Dafu is his pseudonym. The military police leader did not delve further and sent him back politely.
In fact, Yu Dafu's fame is more famous in Japan than in China. In the Japanese "Dictionary of People's Names", Yu Dafu has been introduced in a very detailed manner.
Because Yu Dafu visited Japan before the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese always believed that Yu Dafu was the number one spy and did not kill him immediately. First, he did not catch any handle on Yu Dafu; second, Yu Dafu was a cultural person who enjoyed a famous name, and the killing would cause adverse effects.
From this day on, the Japanese surveillance of Yu Dafu has become as strict as one day.
Yu Dafu's identity was exposed, and he knew it was difficult to escape, so he simply refused to escape, so he also had the idea of writing a will every year.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese had clearly announced their surrender, but they still secretly lured him to kill him.
Yu Dafu thus became the last cultural celebrity to die in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
