Ask the world, what is love, teach life and death? -"Fishing and Qiu Yan's Ci"
Since ancient times, many infatuated men and women's love stories have made people cry. Liang Zhu, Cowherd and Weaver Girl are all heroines in China's ancient love stories, and they all paid a huge price for their love. In addition, there are many modern people named love rat, Chen Shimei who abandoned his wife and children, and Xue Pinggui who came from Wang Baochuan and stayed in the cold kiln, who also became families. The beautiful love in peacetime is plain and warm, while the love in wartime is hard to come by after hardships. Su Shi's dream of the twentieth day of the first month in Jiangchengzi Mao Yi expressed his thoughts for his dead wife: "I can't forget it for ten years." In ancient times, when men were respected, Su Shi was also a very emotional man, who could put his wife in such an important position. In feudal China, there were too many restrictions on marriage, most of which were matchmakers' words. Parents' life also made them understand each other, but there were too few long-term love.
It was not until the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China that the western open thought was gradually introduced into China. Many China students living abroad have brought back advanced and open ideas. They pursue free love and equal and democratic marriage. And many domestic literary circles are leading this trend, but the pursuit of freedom of love does not mean that you can trample on love at will.
Xu Zhimo even forced his parents to arrange an abortion for his wife, Zhang Youyi, in order to express his dislike of arranged marriage. Hu Lian's first wife tried her best to help him go to Whampoa Military Academy, but what she was waiting for was betrayal and ridicule. Love can be regardless of age, national boundaries and times, but it is necessary to distinguish right from wrong. People like Xu Zhimo and Hu Lian are absolutely untrustworthy.
The protagonist we want to talk about this time is Guo Moruo, a Japanese wife who was abandoned by him. She raised five children by herself, but insisted on being buried in China after her death. As an outstanding writer and historian in China, Guo Moruo occupies a high position in China literary world with his excellent cultural quality. He met three women in his life, and the first wife 1 was arranged by his parents. As an intellectual in the new era, he is unwilling to accept arranged marriage. He left home shortly after he married his first wife, but the first wife insisted on serving Guo Moruo's parents until their death. Guo Moruo's second wife is Fukuko Sato from Japan. At that time, Guo Moruo studied in Japan, with a rich family, good family education and solid background, and became a nurse after graduation. Their love began with Guo Moruo's initiative, and their ending also began with Guo Moruo's initiative to leave.
The two were deeply in love, and Fukuko Sato was also caught up in it because of Guo Moruo's literary talent. In fact, the road to love between them is also very bumpy. Because Fukuko Sato was born in a famous Japanese family, his parents naturally don't want his daughter to marry a poor boy from China. Moreover, Sino-Japanese relations were extremely tense at that time, but the woman involved in the whirlpool of love could not be pulled out. She gave up everything in Japan and lived a poor life with Guo Moruo.
Although her family was well-off, Fukuko Sato was able to put herself down and become a full-time housewife of Guo Moruo, and even ran between China and Japan with her husband in order to support Guo Moruo's career. Two people spent that difficult time together, and Fukuko Sato changed Guo Moruo's name to Guo Anna. She once thought that her happy life had just begun, but she didn't know that the darkest moment of life was coming. When the Sino-Japanese War broke out, Guo Moruo left his wife and children and returned to China alone. Even so, Guo Anna didn't forget and give up this person. She raised five children by herself. When she took them to China to find Guo Moruo, she found that Guo Moruo had re-established his family in China. The two men looked at each other, but couldn't say anything. At this time, Guo Anna's inner grievances welled up, but she held back. She doesn't want to expose her weakness in front of this man.
Because of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Guo Moruo became a famous scholar. He said he couldn't accept their children and didn't say much. Guo Anna quietly returned to Japan. After learning the situation, the children felt sorry for their mother's experience and scolded their irresponsible father and husband. But Guo Anna is as affectionate as ever. She didn't change her name, didn't publicly accuse Guo Moruo, and even went to see Guo Moruo when he was ill. Before his death, he asked his son and daughter to bury him in China, and donated all his property to contribute to Sino-Japanese friendship.
