In 1913, Zhu Meifu was born in Shanghai. The day

was born happened to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. When the wintersweet was in full bloom, his father named his daughter "Meifu" after the flower.

14 years old, Zhu Meifu and Fu Lei got engaged. Soon after the engagement, Fu Lei went to study abroad.

France is a famous romantic country. While studying abroad, Fu Lei met Madeleine, a charming blonde girl, and quickly fell in love. He asked his friend Liu Haisu to send back a letter and wanted to break off the engagement with his fiancée.

Not long after, Fu Lei discovered that the enthusiastic Madeleine also maintained romantic relationships with other men. He became furious, broke up with Madeleine, and attempted suicide.

At this time, my friend Liu Haisu arrived in time, took out a letter and said, don't be like this, your fiancée is still waiting for you at home.

It turns out that he didn't send the letter at all. Fu Lei changed his mind and returned to China to marry Zhu Meifu.

After getting married, Fu Lei felt that the name "Meifu" was too tacky, so he changed her name to "Meifu" and gave her a foreign name "Margaret".

Although it is a traditional marriage, Zhu Meifu is not a traditional woman who believes that "a woman's lack of talent is a virtue". She has received a modern education, knows English, understands music, and is good at painting.

She can actually be a career woman, but after entering into marriage, Zhu Meifu completely placed herself in a subordinate role, truly "taking care of her husband and raising her children", taking care of the family and raising children, while assisting Fu Lei and serving her husband. Let’s start with the work.

Yang Jiang once said, "Zhu Meifu is a gentle wife, a loving mother, and a beautiful lady in the salon. Not only is she a very capable housewife, she is also Fu Lei's secretary, making cards and copying manuscripts for him. If Fu Lei had not been so good Logistics, good assistant, his job is to You have to give me a 30% or 40% discount, right?"

Fu Lei has a violent temper and hates evil. In the words of a friend, "His character is as stiff and dry as a grain of rice; softness and cowardice are not his virtues, and he gives them all to Mei. So delicious." Because of his outrightness and bad temper, he often conflicts with others.

Once, Yang Jiang translated a short article, and Fu Lei praised her for her good translation. Yang Jiang humbly said as usual, but Fu Lei endured it for a minute, and then said with a stern face: "Yang Jiang, do you know? My praise is not easy." Yang Jiang stood there awkwardly, not daring to laugh. , and I don’t know how to answer.

In 1954, a translation work conference was held in Beijing. Fu Lei discussed translation issues and cited many fallacious examples in published books and periodicals. He had no idea that these examples had owners, and these owners were present at the meeting.

Many people suddenly became livid with anger and cursed Fu Lei for being too arrogant. An old translator was so angry that he cried on the spot.

At home, Fu Lei often got angry. Zhu Meifu also said: "After marriage, because of his short temper, torture of all sizes was inevitable." However, Zhu Meifu still tolerated Fu Lei with his gentleness and patience.

Fu Lei's son was lazy when he was practicing piano when he was a child. Fu Lei was so angry that he picked up a plate and threw it at it. He immediately cut his son's face, bleeding profusely, and left a scar on his face.

Another time, also because the child was lazy, Fu Lei got angry again and tied his son in front of the house. The neighbors looked at it and pointed.

Whenever Fu Lei gets angry, Zhu Meifu is always there to buffer him. It seems like she is always the first to scold her son, but in fact she stands in front of him, faces Fu Lei's anger, and remains patient and gentle in persuading him.

Zhu Meifu once wrote in a letter to her son, "I have a principled attitude towards your father's temperament and temper, and I have to accept it, because I know him very well. His usual temperament is surly and hates evil, which has its roots. At that time you My grandfather was bullied and oppressed by the local tyrants and evil gentry, and he died of depression at the age of twenty-four. He lived a miserable and desolate life as a widowed mother and an orphan, and his monastery-like childhood was really unbearable... I love him, and I forgive him, for the sake of the happiness of my family. The happiness of his children, as well as the achievements of his tireless career, give up the ego and take care of the overall situation."

Maybe writers are born with romantic characteristics. At that time, Fu Lei was already the father of two children, but he suddenly fell in love with a famous musician, Cheng Jialiu. He believed that Cheng Jialiu was his "muse" and his inspiration. html source of creation. 3

Later, Cheng Jialiu went to Yunnan, and Fu Lei was devastated and fell into love.

At this time, Zhu Meifu made a shocking move. She called Cheng Jialiu personally and said, "Come back. If you are not here, he will." Can't even work. "

Then the married woman came back, her confidante was in the study, and the housewife took care of her two sons and prepared three meals a day for the family.

However, something unexpected happened in this happy story. The turning point mentioned above is Fu Lei’s straightforwardness. Angles always irritate people without knowing it. This time, he provoked Zhang Ailing.

Fu Lei wrote an article in which he commented on Zhang Ailing's works, "It's like the parallel body of the Six Dynasties, although it is jeweled, it is empty on the inside." It is empty, with neither real joy nor deep sorrow. "

Zhang Ailing kept silent at the time, but soon wrote a novel, "Yin Baoyan Sends Flowers to the House". Although she did not name her by name, those familiar with the matter knew at a glance that it was about Fu Lei and Cheng Jialiu.

Cheng Jialiu felt guilty and went to Hong Kong and hastily married an air force officer.

Years later, Cheng Jialiu once said to Fu Lei’s son, “Your father loves me very much, but your mother is too kind. In the end, I had to leave. "

But Zhang Ailing's novel is a bit more harsh. The heroine said, "You don't know, he is divorced. How can someone with such a mental illness marry him? "Some people also say that this is what Cheng Jialiu said to others at that time.

Zhu Meifu did not mind this. She wrote to her son many years later, "You were 5 years old at that time and my brother was 2 years old. The struggle was fierce. I could just leave, but I thought about it again and again. My children would have to suffer if I left. I shouldn't be so heartless and selfish, sacrificing your happiness for me. I finally endured it with humiliation. "

After Fu Lei turned 40, his temper gradually became gentler, and he began to be more considerate and caring towards Zhu Meifu. However, not long after his happy life, he encountered changes in the times.

In 1966, Fu Lei was criticized and he couldn't bear the humiliation, so he decided to Suicide.

Zhu Meifu couldn't persuade him and chose to go with him that night. Fu Lei committed suicide by taking poison. Zhu Meifu dressed him up and hung himself. Before he died, he was afraid that the sound of kicking a stool would disturb the neighbors, so he carefully put a quilt under the chair.

Many years later, Fu Lei's son talked about this. "According to my father's character, his death is an inevitable outcome, but this outcome should not belong to my mother. I know, in fact, my mother can endure it under any circumstances..."

Think about it, it is true. She has endured the violent husband known as "Thunderbolt" for so many years, and endured her husband's confidante openly entering the house. from the poverty and monotony of life, After enduring the arduous work and the fear during the war, why could I suddenly not survive at this time? It was only because I loved Fu Lei so much that I finally chose to stay with him through life and death.

In "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain", Miao. Renfeng this I have always envied Hu Yidao all my life because he has a good wife, "For such a woman, if her husband is in the fire, she must also be in the fire; if her husband is in the water, she must also be in the water..." The novel is fictional, But such women do exist, Zhu Meifu is like this

Some people once said that Zhu Meifu's name is not good, and "Meifu" is a homonym for "not blessed". She does not have much blessing in her life, but her existence is Fu Lei's blessing. She has given all her blessings in this life to her family and family. child.
