In 1932, Jiang Menglin, the 47-year-old president of Peking University, filed for divorce. His wife, Sun Yushu, did not cry or make trouble, and said to him calmly: "Divorce me, you will regret it." Unexpectedly, Jiang Menglin said coldly: "I can marry true love in this life, why do I regret it?"”
Seeing that his wife was so happy, he also moved his compassion and took the initiative to bear the cost of raising the children, and did not ask her to move out of the Jiang family, they divorced and did not leave home. In order to take care of the four children, Sun Yushu put down his dignity and accepted the arrangement with tears.
A month later, Jiang Menglin solemnly invited Hu Shi to be a witness for him and his friend's widow Tao Zenggu. And when Hu Shi's little foot wife Jiang Dongxiu heard about it, she hated this kind of person who liked the new and hated the old, so she locked Hu Shi up.
But how could Hu Shi give up so easily to promote his ideal of freedom in life, he bought the maid to escape through the window, so angry that Jiang Dongxiu almost made a big fuss at the wedding scene.
On the day of the wedding, Jiang Menglin said to the guests: "Gao Renshan is my brother for life, because I respect him, I respect the woman he loves even more, and after marrying her, I feel worthy of my deceased friend." ”
The guests in the audience whispered and discussed. Someone said, "A brother's wife should not be deceived, what is this?"Some people also said: "Principal Jiang is a good person, and he can also take care of the widows of deceased friends." So, what's the untold story behind this?
Jiang Menglin, born in Yuyao, Zhejiang, he has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he is a good child in the eyes of others. He studied at Columbia University in the United States, obtained a doctorate, and after returning to China, his career was smooth, and at the age of 42, he became the first Minister of Education of the People's Republic of China.
In 1906, at the age of 20, he followed the orders of his parents and married Sun Yushu, the daughter of a well-connected family. After marriage, although they can't say that they are raising their eyebrows and respecting each other, they can still barely get by. Sun Yushu was also very competitive, giving birth to 3 boys and 2 girls for him, the only regret was the early death of the eldest daughter.
I thought that when people reached middle age, they had children and daughters, and they had a successful career, so they could hold the hand of their son and grow old with their son. Unexpectedly, an unexpected event broke the tranquility of their lives.
In 1928, the warlord Zhang Zuolin entered Beijing, and Gao Renshan, the founder of the Department of Education of Peking University, was unfortunately killed. Leaving behind his widow Tao Zenggu and two children, Jiang Menglin, who already had a good impression of Tao Zenggu, took the initiative to help, cared for her, and specially hired her to be his secretary.
It turned out that they were alumni at Columbia University, and Tao Zenggu was as beautiful as a flower and read poetry and books, so he was the favorite object of male classmates. Jiang Menglin is no exception, but he is embarrassed to confess because he already has a wife and children at home. Now, Sun Yushu has become a yellow-faced woman, and it is not pleasing to the eye when he looks horizontally and vertically, and his heart has begun to change.
After seeing each other, they helped each other and gradually became affectionate, but when he confessed, Tao Zenggu disagreed. The reason is that he already has a family and doesn't want to get involved in other people's families, so Tao Zenggu can't get over the hurdle in his heart.
In May 1932, Jiang Menglin thought about it again and again, and finally mustered up the courage to file for divorce. originally thought that Sun Yushu would cry, make trouble, and hang herself, but she never thought that she would be so backbone, and there was the scene at the beginning.
At that time, the eldest child asked Sun Yushu: "Mom, Dad doesn't want you anymore, aren't you sad?"She said: "Your father is talented, I can't read big words, we are not a good match, let it all be fate." So you have to study Xi hard!”
After getting married, they lived happily and did not go as their wives wished. As a result, Jiang Menglin often felt good about himself, felt that he was full of charm, and began to float.
In 1958, Tao Zenggu died of a serious illness, and at the age of 72, he was overwhelmed with grief for two years. During this period, he often boasted that he would not remarry and spend the rest of his life with his children. However, what happened next was something he didn't expect.
At a drinking party, Jiang Menglin met the 52-year-old socialite Xu Xianle, although she was a, she still had charm, and her charming face fascinated him. At first, Xu Xianle used the age gap as an excuse to treat him with falsehood, but after investigating the property situation, he gladly accepted it.
After the relationship between the two, Hu Shi was the first to stand up against it, and then a large group of relatives and friends did not support it, and even Song Meiling advised him to stay away from Xu Xianle.
It turned out that Xu Xianle was born in a wealthy family, and since his great-grandfather's generation, the family has always been a famous scientist in the Qing Dynasty, and it can be described as a rich country. She is the ninth in line and has been pampered by her parents since she was a child.
Born in finance, she is not good at poetry and songs, and regards money as the first. Although she entered *** after graduating from college, she enjoyed the stars of her son's buddies holding the moon, often going in and out of luxurious places, and living a drunken life.
It is said that her first husband was swept away by him because he couldn't get used to her extravagance and said a few words to her. Later, after marrying the famous General Yang Jie, she still went her own way, and in her 7-month marriage, she defrauded Yang Jie of all her property. As a result, her fame spread far and wide, and people avoided it.
In 1961, 75-year-old Jiang Menglin didn't believe in evil and quietly married her behind her back. On the second day of marriage, she asked Jiang Menglin for a huge amount of living expenses. Under the sweet words of love, Jiang Menglin also drew up a list of properties and handed it to her. I really know that there are tigers in the mountains, and I prefer to go to the tiger mountains.
Not long after she got married, she took control of the financial power, which made Jiang Menglin cut back on food and clothing, and often went to a friend's house to eat and drink, which became the talk of others after dinner.
Later, Jiang Menglin accidentally broke his leg, not only did she not accompany and take care of him, but also borrowed money from others on the grounds that he had no money, and transferred him from a large hospital to a small clinic. And she took the opportunity to transfer her husband's property on a large scale, and even did not let go of her stepdaughter's money.
Jiang Menglin saw through her and tried every possible means to divorce her, but he paid her 500,000 yuan, made himself disgraced, and almost lost his life.
In 1964, Jiang Menglin unfortunately died of liver cancer, while Xu Xianle lived in a dashing manner until 2006 at the age of 98, which is embarrassing.
Love is not a simple combination, but mutual tolerance and appreciation, many seemingly incompatible places, perhaps each other's shortcomings, need to make up for together.
And many people who seem to be a good match, as long as the husband and wife do not have the same heart, it is also in vain. Therefore, learning from each other's strengths and cherishing each other can last forever.
