Reveal the family background of Mrs. Tian Jiaying and the situation of her children's descendants.
The long river of history has rolled forward, and in an instant through countless springs and autumns, in this long and memorable time, some great names have been known and passed down by the world, while the people around them have gradually forgotten.
Their names may be forgotten, but their images are forever engraved in people's hearts. When we talk about Tian Jiaying, people will marvel at his talent, and when he passes, it will also trigger countless silences, but what is less well known is that his family story is just as thought-provoking.
In 1922, in Shuangliu County, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, a baby boy was born, and his parents named him Zeng Zhengchang, placing expectations on him to be honest and resolute. Yes, this baby boy named Zeng Zhengchang is an outstanding talent who later took "Tian Jiaying" as his pen name.
Although Tian Jiaying was born in a sensible family, his life was full of twists and turns. When he was three years old, his loving father died, leaving only his mother and brother at home.
Fortunately, his mother adhered to his father's legacy and strongly supported Tian Jiaying's reading and literacy. When he was six years old, he was sent to a private school for enlightenment. Perhaps, as the ancients said, "the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds", when he was nine years old, Tian Jiaying lost his mother.
However, he was not so lucky. His elder brother thought it was a waste to send Tian Jiaying to school, forced him to drop out of school despite his wishes, and forced him to go out to earn money.
When Tian Jiaying was nine years old, he was forced to work as an apprentice in a pharmacy, which almost cut off his writing career. However, when he was a child, he was deeply influenced by his parents and never forgot his Xi school.
Fortunately, God opened a window for him - his apprentice companion's father was a keen reader, and Tian Jiaying often borrowed books from him to read. The companion's father sympathized with Tian Jiaying's fate and happily agreed to his request to borrow books.
So, during the short time of rest in the pharmacy, Tian Jiaying was able to read by the faint corner light. He recalled that "Zizhi Tongjian", "Water Margin" and "Three Kingdoms" were all secretly read at that time.
As a child, Tian Jiaying was busy shuttling between pharmacies and books. Despite his busy work during the day, when his friends were asleep, he still studied hard by the light in the room.
No amount of busy work can stop his thirst for knowledge. As he read more, he began to try his hand at submission, pursuing his dream of becoming a writer. In addition to his part-time job, he repeatedly polishes his works and strives for perfection.
Finally, at the age of 12, his manuscript was selected for publication in the newspaper. This gave Tian Jiaying great confidence, and he decided to continue to move forward in the literary world. However, the good times did not last long, and a war that shook the hearts of the descendants of Yan and Huang suddenly broke out, and this war to defend his homeland completely disrupted his original career as a writer.
After the outbreak of the war, the young Tian Jiaying resolutely joined the army. Tian Jiaying's physique is not strong, and he also knows that he participates in the war and his life may be at great risk, but he has always cherished the dream of holding a pen in his hand.
Therefore, he chose to enlist in the army to defend the dignity of the country, but he never forgot his original intention and has been contributing articles to newspapers and magazines. On the one hand, he did this to realize his long-held dream, and on the other hand, he hoped to awaken the sleeping will of the Chinese people through his name.
His articles quickly attracted people's attention, and were published in the press one after another, and were widely circulated. Eventually, his article was *** seen.
** Tian Jiaying, who is good at using talents, is very appreciative and curious about his talent, so he met him personally. During the conversation, Tian Jiaying's words deeply touched ***, thinking that he was a rare talent.
Enthusiastically, he said, "You are one of the few outstanding talents, and I very much hope that my son will become your student and learn Xi from you." Therefore, Tian Jiaying was appreciated by *** and became Mao Anying's teacher.
During the time he worked beside ***, Tian Jiaying taught Mao Anying without reservation, and he wrote many talented articles in a better writing environment.
Soon, many newspapers came to visit, and Tian Jiaying's works were in short supply.
Tian Jiaying's childhood dream has finally come true, he can get rid of the hustle and bustle of working in the pharmacy and immerse himself in the bright and clean room to create freely. Despite his great success, he still maintains his childhood Xi and reads every day.
For more than a decade from 1948 to 1966, he served as the secretary of *** and drafted many widely circulated speeches for ***. These speeches made him famous in the literary world.
Fourteen years later, the case of Tian Jiaying's unjust death was revealed, but the deceased was gone, and people began to pay attention to his family situation. In fact, Tian Jiaying has had two marriages.
Tian Jiaying's first wife was Liu Chengzhi, they met when they were teenagers, they were both progressive youths, like-minded, and participated in many anti-Japanese activities together, so they attracted each other.
In 1940, they entered the palace of marriage, but their married life was not all smooth sailing. Liu Chengzhi is a cheerful person who is keen on social activities, and he always pulls Tian Jiaying to various parties together, but Tian Jiaying is an introvert and feels very uncomfortable with social activities.
Tian Jiaying prefers to write alone in his study, and his pen flows out of beautiful words, often writing all day. Despite some small frictions in their lives, they eventually chose each other, supported each other, and became important partners in each other's lives.
Although the two have entered the palace of marriage, they get along like strangers, and their completely different personalities often bother Liu Chengzhi, who feels that they are more like roommates and can only see each other at night.
Day after day, this kind of life made Liu Chengzhi feel very dissatisfied, so in 1941, only a year after they got married, Liu Chengzhi took the initiative to file for divorce.
For Tian Jiaying, the news of his wife's divorce was like a bolt from the blue, he loved Liu Chengzhi deeply and didn't want to see this relationship end like this, so he went to Liu Chengzhi many times in the hope of changing her mind.
However, in the face of Tian Jiaying's bitter pleading, Liu Chengzhi behaved very resolutely, and she said that she must divorce.
Because of relationship problems, Tian Jiaying and his spouse went through divorce procedures, which made him very painful, lost interest in work, and even suffered severe insomnia and loss of appetite.
For the sake of Tian Jiaying's health, colleagues have enlightened him, among them, the female colleague Dong Bian cares about him the most, often visits him and accompanies him. With Dong Bian's care and help, Tian Jiaying gradually came out of the shadows and gradually fell in love with Dong Bian.
So in 1942, they got married.
Compared with the previous relationship, the combination of the two of them is undoubtedly more suitable. Dong Bian's personality tends to be introverted, and like Tian Jiaying, she likes to be quiet, and she fully understands and supports Tian Jiaying's writing career, and the family atmosphere is very harmonious.
On the other hand, Dong Bian is also a progressive woman, they have similar interests and love each other, and this marriage is happy. Dong Bian and Tian Jiaying had four sons, the eldest son was born and gave it to a friend, and the younger son Zeng Yi grew up under their care, talented and fluent in the three Chinese languages.
Tian Jiaying's two daughters also inherited their father's good qualities. The eldest daughter, Zeng Li, studied at the High School Affiliated to Normal University, and although her father died when she was 16 years old, her longing for her father has never waned.
In order to commemorate her father, she wrote a memoir to record the details of her father's life. The youngest daughter's longing for her father became deeper and deeper with the passage of time, and she and her husband wrote many articles commemorating Tian Jiaying, so that most future generations could understand Tian Jiaying's character and life Xi habits from her articles, and made a significant contribution to future generations to understand her father.
Although Tian Jiaying is gone, he is still alive in people's hearts, his words will forever be recorded in history, and his wife and descendants have always been proud of him.
