As a name that cannot be ignored in the history of modern Chinese romance, Qiong Yao's real name is Chen Zhe, and since the tenth century of the last century, she has been active among readers and TV audiences.
Qiong Yao's ** has been adapted into a number of emotional dramas that are deeply loved by people, especially the must-have summer viewing masterpieces such as "Huanzhu Gege" and the well-known "Deep Love and Rain", which has influenced the youth of several generations and made her a representative of contemporary romance.
According to preliminary statistics, Qiong Yao's literary works and the TV works she participated in have reached nearly 100 in total.
First published in 1963, the novel was titled "Outside the Window", which was his earliest work, and the story tells the story of a lingering love between a teacher and a student.
It wasn't until many years later that Qiong Yao's autobiography "My Story" came out, and people learned that the prototype of the "teacher-student love" story in "Outside the Window" turned out to be Qiong Yao herself.
At that time, no one had used the pen name "Qiong Yao", and the pen name used by the author "Outside the Window" was "Xinru", which seemed to have the atmosphere of a young author, but in fact there was an extremely important woman hidden behind it, that is, Qiong Yao's mother Yuan Xingshu.
The name Yuan Xingshu may not be familiar to many people, but in the ** period, she was a real daughter of a wealthy family.
Yuan Xingshu's father was the famous banker Yuan Liheng, who is known as the "father of China's banking industry", and his second uncle, Yuan Liheng, served as a teacher to Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Yuan Xingshu was born in a prominent family environment, but she is a new woman who pursues the freedom of love, and also experiences a romantic story of "teacher-student love".
As we all know, Qiong Yao's personal emotional experience is not inferior to her many romances**, but her mother Yuan Xingshu's love life is consistent and desirable.
Although Qiong Yao and her mother, Yuan Xingshu, have completely different emotional trajectories, perhaps it is this interplay that has led to many of Qiong Yao's popular works.
Let's now feel the fragment of Yuan Xingshu's life, and experience the emotional world of this mother and daughter who have the same path.
Yuan Xingshu was born in **4 years, and the Yuan family at that time was a veritable wealthy family.
Yuan Liheng's father served as an envoy to Hunan Province, and his grandmother, Zeng Yi, was a famous female Chinese medicine doctor in the Qing Dynasty. In addition, his uncle Yuan Lizhun served as the emperor's teacher, and his father was the first president of the Bank of Communications. It is worth mentioning that the words on the plaque of "Xinhua Gate" in Zhongnanhai, Beijing are from the hand of Yuan Lizhun.
Yuan Xingshu was born in a famous family and a cultural family, received a good education since he was a child, coupled with the talent of intelligence and wit, it can be said that he is a living example of the modern version of "Xue Baochai".
Born in a feudal society, Yuan Xingshu must be a knowledgeable, elegant and demure lady, but unfortunately she was born in the ** period, influenced by new ideas and new cultures, which planted the seeds for her future choices.
13-year-old Yuan Xingshu entered Beijing Liangji Girls' High School in 1929. This school is a new-style institution that has cultivated many legendary women in the ** period, and it has also become the starting point of the personal emotional life of the young girl Yuan Xingshu.
Soon after, Yuan Xingshu met Chen Zhiping, who was his history teacher and the first love object in his heart.
Chen Zhiping, a well-known scholar, dedicated his life to historical research, was just a middle school teacher from a poor background and a poor family at that time.
Since childhood, Chen Zhiping has loved to delve into historical research and is full of enthusiasm for studying Xi. In addition to teaching, he also worked part-time to save enough money to study abroad.
Yuan Xingshu was deeply attracted to a hard-working, scholarly man who had just turned fourteen.
For this kind of ignorant feelings, Yuan Xingshu did not hide it in his heart like others, on the contrary, this young lady from a famous family actually chose to take the initiative to show her love to the other party.
At that time, Chen Zhiping was not only more than 7 years older than her, but also her history teacher.
In China's traditional culture, the relationship between "teacher-student love" has always been taboo, and it will even cause criticism. And at that time, Yuan Xingshu was just an underage, ignorant and ignorant girl, for Chen Zhiping, who was already a teacher, this was a gap that could never be crossed.
After careful consideration, Chen Zhiping finally made the decision to refuse.
You are still young and have a shallow understanding of love and adoration, so you should not rush to express your feelings, but should put your studies first.
Chen Zhiping's words and deeds show that he is an honest gentleman, although he clearly understands that Yuan Xingshu's family background is extraordinary, and also understands that befriending Yuan Xingshu will be of great help to his future development, but as a middle school teacher from a poor family, he defends his dignity with practical actions.
However, for Yuan Xingshu, an ignorant girl trapped by love, the more Chen Zhiping rejects people thousands of miles away, the more he looks like a righteous gentleman with a unique charm.
Maybe it's because Yuan Xingshu has lived in the environment of a famous family since he was a child, and he is used to seeing people who are hypocritical and clinging to the dragon and the phoenix, so he is even more sympathetic to Chen Zhiping, a self-controlled, poor but determined personality. All in all, Yuan Xingshu began a bolder pursuit.
The youthful girl expresses a passionate affection for him, and the school is full of gossip about the two. Faced with this situation, Chen Zhiping had no choice but to apply for a transfer, but what gave him a headache was that whether he was transferred to the auxiliary girls' middle school or the Huiwen girls' high school, this female student who was carried away by love followed suitably and transferred to another school.
Eventually, Chen Zhiping realized that escaping would never solve the problem, and he decided to maintain a pen pal relationship with Yuan Xingshu, and asked her to focus on her studies first, and then consider the further development of their relationship after graduation.
The two maintained a relationship of teacher and friend for the next three years, although Yuan Xingshu's letters to Chen Zhiping were always full of love for him and yearning for a better life in the future, Chen Zhiping always adhered to his bottom line as a teacher, did not respond, and did not cross the line. And just like that, they kept it that way.
Three years have passed, Yuan Xingshu successfully graduated and grew from an ignorant girl to a slim girl. When she stood in front of Chen Zhiping again, she expressed her love unreservedly, and then Chen Zhiping unexpectedly found that he had accepted her.
Chen Zhiping gradually realized that he had become Xi to getting along with this warm and sincere girl, and in his heart, Yuan Xingshu's image had gradually changed from a "female student" to a "girlfriend".
They finally reached the decision to fall in love, and it was at that moment that moment.
When Yuan Xingshu was just starting to fall in love, he took Chen Zhiping back to Liangji Girls' Middle School, and took his arm to walk generously on campus in the early morning. Doing so is undoubtedly the most beautiful response to the voice that doubted her in the first place.
Yuan Xingshu later named his daughter Chen Zhe, which is worth emphasizing, because the name comes from the "Liangji" girls' middle school where she and Chen Zhiping first met. Of course, future generations are more familiar with Chen Zhe's pen name - Qiong Yao.
Yuan Xingshu finally got the love she had been looking forward to, but the outside world's speculation about the "teacher-student love" between her and Chen Zhiping, as well as the strong opposition from the original family, made the talented and beautiful couple fall into deep confusion.
Although in the context of the emancipation of the mind and the prevalence of new wave culture in the ** period, the society still has a cautious and strict attitude towards the issue of "talking about marriage" involving the bottom line of traditional life Xi.
Especially for the "teacher-student love" between men and women, the moral shadow of "disrespecting teachers" and "corrupting morality" will always be shrouded in it. Because of this, when Yuan Xingshu made his relationship with Chen Zhiping public, he was extremely strongly stopped by his family.
Even if you don't care about the quality of your life in the future, you need to consider what the outside world says about you. Our Yuan family has been knowledgeable people for generations, and this kind of behavior that violates moral norms should not happen again in the future!
Although Yuan Xingshu's parents were mainly opposed to the teacher-student relationship between them, Yuan Xingshu knew in his heart that what they were most concerned about was Chen Zhiping's poor family background, which was not commensurate with their status.
Of course, Yuan Xingshu's parents should not be blamed, because they lived in the social class of the time, and it was natural that they should abide by the traditional marriage rules of the family. And in the context of social turmoil at that time, they naturally hoped that their daughter would marry a powerful person.
However, as the description of Yuan Xingshu's character mentioned above, she is a modern woman who has the courage to try and is self-reliant, and she confessed her feelings with Chen Zhiping to her parents, not for the purpose of soliciting opinions, but as a kind of intellectual and emotional inform.
Despite being obstructed by his parents, Yuan Xingshu resolutely moved out of the wealthy mansion and chose to live with Chen Zhiping in a dormitory of less than 20 square meters outside the school.
In the social circle of the two, this undoubtedly caused a huge sensation, although at that time the "teacher-student love" had gradually been recognized as a "trend" to break the traditional etiquette, but there were very few people who really dared to take this move.
What's more, Yuan Xingshu, who is recognized as a beautiful girl, actually chose to live in the staff dormitory with Chen Zhiping, an ordinary teacher who is seven years older than him, which has caused people to speculate about their love story.
However, what is even more unexpected is that after two years of cohabitation, Yuan Xingshu was pregnant unmarried, and this news caused an uproar.
At that time, it was the period of the All-out War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and Yuan Xingshu and Chen Zhiping were in the center of the vortex, and they were not prepared for this unexpected pregnancy at all. Moreover, the Yuan family had a clear attitude towards their daughter's situation, and asked Yuan Xingshu to immediately beat the child out.
In the turbulent times, they felt pressured and realized that they could not afford to raise their children at the moment, so Chen Zhiping took Yuan Xingshu to a nearby maternity hospital.
Yuan Xingshu had already done a good ideological struggle and decided to undergo abortion surgery, but the results of the preoperative examination made the two in a dilemma.
After the doctor's confirmation, they learned that Yuan Xing was actually pregnant with twins.
What surprised them even more was that after further examination, they learned that the twins were not ordinary, but extremely rare "dragon and phoenix fetuses".
This situation undoubtedly shook the determination of the two of them to **. When Yuan Xingshu's parents learned the news, they also felt pity, as if this pair of men and women was a precious gift from God to the Yuan family. In the end, the "dragon and phoenix fetus" was preserved, and Yuan Xingshu gradually won the understanding of his parents.
Yes, that's right, this daughter is the later Qiong Yao, she is a member of the "Dragon and Phoenix Fetus".
Yuan Xingshu named the pair of children Chen Jue and Chen Zhe at that time, with nicknames "Qilin" and "Phoenix" respectively, placing good expectations and expressing deep affection.
The love story of Yuan Xingshu and Chen Zhiping did not end there, and a few years later they ushered in a pair of "dragon and phoenix fetuses".
Yuan Xingshu may have been gifted or had a "dragon and phoenix" physique, but in short, the couple had four children in their lifetime, two of which were precious "dragon and phoenix fetuses".
In 1963, Chen Zhe wrote the story of the two into her first novel** "Outside the Window" under the pen name "Xinru", which together with the "teacher-student love" of the two was rumored to be a good story in the society.
* They are so familiar with the story of my parents that they naturally mistakenly think that the heroes and heroines of "Outside the Window" are based on my parents, of course, this view is both reasonable and far-fetched.
Years have passed, and Qiong Yao revealed this for the first time in her autobiography "My Story".
This statement is both justified and inadequate. The archetype in Outside the Window does reflect my mother in part, but more of it is my own personal experience. After all, the story didn't end happily, and my parents lived happily ever after.
As Qiong Yao said, during my study period, I also experienced the same "teacher-student love" emotion as in ** "Outside the Window", which makes people feel the mystery of fate.
Yuan Xingshu and her daughter Qiong Yao suffered the same fate, but presented a completely different ending.
Yuan Xingshu finally insisted on his pursuit, made a choice in that chaotic and uneasy era, chose the love of his heart, he did not flinch in the face of family and social pressure, but firmly guarded his inner belief, and finally steered the rudder of life to the other side of happiness.
Yuan Xingshu's daughter, Qiong Yao, was faced with the same choice, but ultimately failed to hold out to the end. Although it is difficult for her to explain the reason clearly, judging from the fact that this failed relationship is written into **, it is enough to prove that she has not been able to get rid of this knot in her heart.
Her love life later went through a series of twists and turns, which can also be traced back to the situation at that time.
may be seen in this way, it was that initial emotional trauma that inspired Qiong Yao's creative inspiration and enthusiasm, and at the same time spurred her to devote more attention to creation, thus bringing many classic film and television dramas to future generations.
"Forgiveness" is the realm of the heart, just as the heart is like "foolishness".
In personal emotional life, whether it is infatuation or tolerance, you should insist on pursuing a better life and actively embrace your wonderful life.
