The late British princess has a famous saying: The marriage of three people is too crowded.
During the Republic of China, whenever a marriage of three people appeared, the original wife was always the one who was hurt.
But in Xu Beihong and Jiang Biwei , the one who squeezed in was a little sad. She wasted twelve years of her life, but she failed to achieve the right result in her life, leaving only her regret and disappointment...
01
Her name is Sun Duoci, her original name is Yunjun, and she was born in Anqing, Anhui in April 1913. The Sun Mansion is a famous family with a long family background and has produced many Jinshi, top scholars or Tanhua. Grandfather, Sun Jianai, was the top scholar in Xianfeng. He was once the teacher of Emperor Guangxu. He was the Minister of Personnel and founded the Peking University. His father, Sun Chuanyuan, was a famous scholar in the late Qing Dynasty and was once the secretary of Sun Chuanfang. My mother, Tang, was also a talented girl from a noble family and founded the girls' school alone as the principal.
Sun Yunjun is their eldest daughter and has two younger brothers. He lived in the big house of Fangjiatang, Anqing for the rest of his life. Sun Yunjun grew up slowly in the fragrance of books. When he graduated from elementary school, he had become a famous young talented woman from far and wide.
After studying in middle school, she is even more famous. She is at Liuyi Middle School and has always been the school beauty.
Sun Yunjun's beauty has a sense of calmness, not dazzling, not ostentatious, clear and gentle. If Jiang Biwei, who fought with her a few years later, was a " out of beauty, cool and noble " crabapple flower , then Sun Yunjun is more like a fragrant maple tree nestled under the white wall, black tiles and horse head wall, but it is still tender before late autumn, with green green leaves hanging.
1929, 17-year-old Sun Yunjun applied to the School of Literature at Nanjing Central University at that time. With her talent, she should have been on the list. But the luck is not good, and Chiang Kai-shek is pursuing dissidents. As Sun Chuanfang's fellow clan and Sun Chuanfang's clan, Sun Chuanfang has been in Tiger Bridge Prison for almost three months.
This big thing happened to the family, and Sun Yunjun naturally failed in the exam and failed. She said:
0 The beginning of 1930 was the most sad time for her. "My father participated in Anhui politics, and was suspicious of the rule of law with political relations, and was in the capital of prison."
Later, the Sun family found his father's friend and opened a back door, allowing her to enter the Department of Art of Central University as an auditor.
That year, Xu Beihong was the director of the art department and also taught painting. When he first met Sun Yunjun sitting silently in the corner, he was attracted by this beautiful and quiet girl. She was wearing green shoes, black pants, blue top, short hair with bangs... Although she was a typical image of a young female student at that time, Xu Beihong got her gentle and lovely beauty and her ethereal and clear soul.

After my father was released from prison, Sun Yunjun's eldest brother went to Nanjing Middle School to study, but unexpectedly got appendicitis and was not treated in time. Unfortunately, he died. His family was extremely sad, especially his mother, who couldn't get sick at once. Her other brother was born with intellectual defects. In an instant, this seemingly weak woman became the only hope for her parents.
Sun Yunjun entered school and worked hard to learn painting. In just three months, she has gone from an unqualified auditor to the student with the best grades in the art department.
She was praised by her teacher Xu Beihong: She learned to paint for three months, and her wisdom is extremely smart and smart, which is rare for me. ”
When encountering such a talented student, as a teacher, he must value favoritism and changed her name to Duoci.
But Xu Beihong is beyond the friendship between teachers and students. At home, he is Jiang Biwei, a wife born in 1899, is already in her 30s and a mother of two children. At the age of 18, he elopes with him to Japan. After spending all his money, he returned to China to seek refuge in his parents. Then he studied in France with him. As a rich lady, he went to work as a maid to help others and save money on his money. Help him complete his studies.
Xu Beihong portrays Jiang Biwei
Once comparable to a crabapple flower, he gave his extremely stunning wife, but now he has lost the charm of attracting souls. Most artists have a sensitive and active heart, and are in agitation everywhere, and they urgently need to find a place to put them in. This is exactly the case at this time, Sun Yunjun, who does not have a stunning appearance, but has gentle and lovely beauty.
In the autumn of 1931, Jiang Biwei's aunt passed away. Jiang Biwei, who was still breastfeeding, took her daughter back to Yixing to attend the funeral. After that, she lived with her old sick mother for some days, but did not return to Nanjing.
While the hostess was not at home, Xu Beihong invited Sun Yunjun to her studio to draw portraits for her, took her to the park to sketch, and sketched her.
One day in November, his good friend Shu Xincheng came to visit and returned to the hotel to write a letter to his girlfriend and said:
"Yesterday Xu Beihong asked me to go to his house to chat. I saw him portraying a portrait of a certain woman. Seeing his actions, he seemed to be walking into the path of love."
Xu Beihong's portrait of Sun Duoci
This woman is naturally Sun Yunjun. Even friends saw the clues, and colleagues and students in the art department were even more rumored. They did not shy away from each other and went out on campus and in the family studio. Even in the girls' dormitory where boys are prohibited from entering, Xu Beihong was free to enter and exit as a teacher, and an extramarital affair was born vigorously.

Received a letter from Xu Beihong "If you don't come back, I will fall in love with others" , and Jiang Biwei quickly returned to Nanjing from Yixing. He broke straight into his studio and saw the portraits of the characters in the room, but they were all the same woman with a little sad look. A woman's intuition does not require a man to admit, and she concluded that the girl was the third party who squeezed into the marriage between the two.
"Although Mr. Xu kept explaining to me that he only loved his great-grandson Yunjun's talent and wanted to cultivate her to become a useful talent. But in my feeling, what exists between them is definitely not a pure teacher-student relationship." - Jiang Biwei's memoirs
Jiang Biwei ordered all her portraits to be taken down, and she was not allowed to stay in the studio. Xu Beihong, who was worried, had to do so. When she saw the proud work "Night Moon in Taicheng", she was painted on a plywood and couldn't be rolled up and it was difficult to collect it. Jiang Biwei simply hung it in the most conspicuous position in the living room, allowing her husband to look at her masterpiece every day. Forced Xu Beihong to no avail, he had to use a blade to scrape the painting off one by one, and there was no "Taicheng Night Moon" in the world.
Xu Beihong felt depressed. On the one hand, he was his wife who had given up her wealth and life for him, and on the other hand, he was a new love that was obsessed with. The powerful Jiang Biwei was by his side. He didn't dare to meet Sun Yunjun alone again, so he wrote his thoughts into a poem:
Yanzi sighed at the head of the rock, and the beauty of Qinhuai was depressed. The desolate and cold roads are left, and the water and moon are clear forever.
was handed over to a friend Shu Xincheng and handed over to Sun Yunjun on his behalf.
Shu Xincheng is a crucial figure in the love between Sun Duoci and Xu Beihong. Not only did he deliver letters and objects to them, Xu Beihong also introduced Sun Duoci, and went to Shu Xincheng Zhonghua Bookstore to print paintings and actively contributed to her.
All this was done under Jiang Biwei's nose. She was not unaware of it, but she wanted to win back her husband's wishes with tolerance. However, it is not easy to talk about. Sun Yunjun was in her freshman year, and Xu Beihong went to Europe and other countries to hold art exhibitions, and was often not in Nanjing. But as long as he comes back, he will definitely give Sun Yunjun a small meal and tutor her alone. He cares for her very much, and even arouses the jealousy of her classmates at that time:
"Mr. Xu saw Sun Duoci's paintings because he liked her. Sun Duoci's paintings are like this."
Once Xu Beihong came back on a business trip to Tianmu Mountain for three months, and immediately took the students in his class to Tianmu Mountain for a long time to go out for a long time to show off. The two people who were not seen each other in a secluded place in the rockery were unable to control their love. This scene was taken by the student who was taking a camera, causing a serious storm.
Jiang Biwei rushed into the classroom angrily, stabbed Sun Yunjun's painting in the classroom with a knife, and threatened her, "I will deal with you like this painting!"
This is not the first time Jiang Biwei took action. She had rushed to Sun Yunjun's dormitory before and scolded her, "Please respect yourself!"
She also wrote to Sun Yunjun's father, informing her daughter of the scandal, and invited Sun Chuanyuan to visit her home, specially showing her Mrs. Xu's demeanor and demeanor. Sun Chuanyuan was so angry that she was trembling about her daughter and strictly controlled her. If there was any adverse effect, she would be ordered to drop out of school and go home.
Sun Yunjun, who is also only 18 years old, does not have the courage to escape from marriage and elope, but she was overwhelmed by her father's scolding and wrote a letter to her cousin to complain:
"I am getting older and I am intimate and intimate, and I feel the hypocrisy, private, sinister, suspicious, mean, cruel, and cruel, and I am filled with the coldness of the world. I almost want to doubt the goodness of Mencius's nature... I swear to be hypocritical, private, cruel, dangerous, suspicious, and mean, seek goodness, truth and beauty in the midst of hypocrisy, private, cruel, dangerous, suspicious, and mean."
This is about being private, insidious, mean, and cruel, which means that Jiang Biwei, who adopts a regular marriage defense battle to prevent her from having a relationship with Xu Beihong?

She is seeking goodness, truth and beauty, and she fights back for the first time.
1932, Xu Beihong's family moved to a new home and moved to No. 6 Fuhougang, Nanjing. It was a two-story building with a yard. Sun Yunjun specially asked his father to transport 100 maple seedlings from his hometown in Anqing and planted them in the Xu family yard, which means " ten years of planting trees, and a hundred years of educating people " to show that he is a teacher-student relationship with him.
Then half a year later, Jiang Biwei saw Sun Yunjun's handwriting from a letter that she had opened unintentionally: Xiangfeng was completed in ten years, and I made a "ten-year agreement" with my husband . The general idea is to give him ten years to deal with family problems, and she also needs to spend ten years to practice.
Jiang Biwei's approach was to order people to cut all the hundreds of maple seedlings in half and burn them clean. Xu Beihong vented his feelings in the form of a scholar, calling the mansion "Wufengtang" and the studio "Wufengtang Studio".
She is seeking goodness, truth and beauty, and she counterattacks for the second time.
In 1935, Sun Yunjun graduated from university and Jiang Biwei intervened, it was impossible for her to stay in school. So he told Xu Beihong that he really wanted to study abroad. Xu Beihong secretly used the Boxer Indemnity to send Sun Yunjun to France to study.
After Jiang Biwei learned about it, she used all her relationships and looked for people everywhere, and she must let Sun Yunjun's name disappear from the list.
She found many people but failed to get what she wanted. Finally, she found Zhang Daofan - she confessed to her in 1926 but was rejected. Now she is an important member of the National Government .
On the same day, he was the deputy director of the Central Cultural Planning Committee and had long heard of the relationship between Xu Beihong and Sun Yunjun. Since Jiang Biwei came to ask him for help, he naturally responded to his requests. With a big stroke, Sun Yunjun's dream of going abroad was instantly vain. After graduation, he returned to his hometown in Anqing and worked as a drawing teacher in middle school.

Although forced to separate, Sun Yunjun and Xu Beihong did not lose contact. They kept spreading love to him and sent him paintings to express their love.
Sun Duoci's paintings
Xu Beihong was not idle either. He actively ran around, published albums for her, planned art exhibitions for her, and used his private money to entrust friends to purchase her paintings anonymously, encouraged her, supported her, and took care of her wholeheartedly.
According to Jiang Biwei's recollection
"Mr. Xu had never sold paintings before, nor had he held art exhibitions in China. This time, he changed his style and did not hesitate to go to the door of powerful and wealthy people to sell paintings... But I don't know at all whether the money was sent to Sun Yunjun."
In the winter of 1935, Xu Beihong painted "Swallows and Swallows in Flying Pictures" and gave it to Sun Duoci. The next year, she sent back an red bean . Xu Beihong received the red beans, created a ring to inlaid it on it, engraved the word "Ce" and put it between her fingers. This move intensified family conflicts. Jiang Biwei, who had lost all dignity, began to hysterically torture. Xu Beihong ran away from home and went to Guangxi Guilin .
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Jiang Biwei and his son who remained in Nanjing were faced with enemy plane bombing and had to seek help from Zhang Daofan and received a shelter from the air raid shelter. Before the fall of Nanjing, he had the help of Zhang Daofan and boarded a merchant ship fleeing to Chongqing.
At this time, Sun Duoci's family took refuge in Changsha and "accidentally met" Xu Beihong. With his mediation, he moved her family to Guilin and found a position for her in the Guangxi Provincial Government.
Xu Beihong ignored his home in Chongqing and lived in Guilin for a long time, staying with Sun Duoci day and night.In 1938, Sun Duoci was 26 years old. In order to get his father to agree to the marriage, Xu Beihong published a notice in the Guangxi Daily about his cohabitation relationship with Jiang Biwei, so that Sun Duoci could have a place.
Unexpectedly, Sun's father firmly opposed it, scolded Xu Beihong, who came to propose marriage, and moved his family to Lishui, Zhejiang, and left Guilin.
Although Jiang Biwei, who blocked the road, his father's strong opposition made Sun Duoci and Xu Beihong fall in love with each other from then on.
They can only use letters to express their gratitude, disappointment, and loneliness...

Sun Duoci teaches in a school in Lishui and meets middle school classmate Li Jiaying. In 1939, the Li family asked his friend Wang Yingxia to introduce Sun Duoci to her boyfriend. Wang Yingxia introduced her to her wife's death two years ago and her three daughters.
Xu Shaodi is over 20 years older than Sun Duoci. He is not good-looking and is not as tall as hers, but he loves Sun Duoci and is gentle. As the director of Zhejiang Education, he arranged work for Sun Duoci's father and cared for his family in the war. Sun Duoci finally felt the respect and love he had never had before. Compared with Xu Beihong, her husband is used to rely on, not to endure humiliation.
Xu Shaodi and his family
In 1941, before Sun Duoci and Xu Shaodi got married, they wrote a letter to Xu Beihong that way, saying "I regret not having the courage to marry you because of my parents' opposition that day. But I believe that I will see my Beihong again in this life."
He wrote three sentences at the end of the letter "I don't believe that she is fake, but I don't believe that she is sincere. In short, I have written a book to the book."
and sent this letter to Jiang Biwei, who was "divorced" by him in the newspaper. He deliberately turned around, but was rejected. After Sun Duoci got married, Xu Beihong once again published a newspaper to terminate his relationship with Jiang Biwei in order to marry his student Liao Jingwen . Their 28-year marriage came to an end.
Conclusion:
Sun Duoci met Xu Beihong from the age of 17 to getting married at the age of 28. He spent 12 years of his life entangled in a marriage that should not belong to her. Such a smart and intelligent woman was burdened by love all her life, as if she had suffered special grievances and injustice, as if she had lost Xu Beihong, which was a great regret, but who would you blame? It was just your own fault.
Until before his death, he told his friend Wu Jianxiong that his favorite love in this life is Beihong.
However, what she entrusts is not human, Xu Shaodi gave her marriage and family, lived a peaceful life, fulfilled her long-cherished wish to go abroad for further studies, and helped her reach the peak of her career.
Xu Beihong and his wife Liao Jingwen
Xu Beihong's wife Liao Jingwen once sighed:
"People who have come into contact with Sun Duoci said that she has good character. Later, she wore filial piety for her teacher Beihong for three years. This is a tragic story, which means that lovers have not got married."
Well, a tragic story, but it is not worthy of sympathy!
