In this world, there are two things that we can't resist: one is the body's instinctive reaction - coughing, and the other is deep emotion. No matter what era it is, there are always people who pursue the romance of "wishing to win the hearts of one person, and the white heads are not separated".
In that war-torn period, there were also countless love stories that were inseparable and unswerving.
The stories of these talented and beautiful women always stir up ripples in people's hearts, however, do their stories always end happily? He is graceful, talented, and humorous; She is rich, dignified and beautiful, gentle and graceful; Can their stories be consistently beautiful?
In that era, they met, knew each other, and fell in love, and the seeds of love quietly sprouted in their hearts. However, wind and rain are impermanent, and love can't resist the cruelty of reality after all, and finally comes to naught.
This kind of unforgettable grief actually befell the humorist Lin Yutang. Lin Yutang, born in 1895 in an ordinary family in Fujian Province, although his family was not wealthy, he still moved forward bravely and started his own life.
His father is the pastor of the church, and the whole family believes in ** religion, and Lin Yutang is no exception. Since he was a child, he not only believed in ** religion, but also received a new education, which laid a solid foundation for his life.
He began his academic career at St. John's University, where he met his first love, Chen Jinrui. Chen Jinrui came from a wealthy background, and his father ran a business, a large local family, and paid attention to his daughter's education, so that she was influenced by new ideas.
Their love story is full of romantic beginnings and they met through the introduction of a friend. The first time Lin Yutang saw Chen Jinrui, he knew that he was deeply in love with her.
Under the impetus of the heart, Lin Yutang began to have frequent contact with Chen Jinrui, pretending to be natural when they met by chance, and bravely invited her, the relationship between the two became closer and closer, and the emotional temperature also rose rapidly.
In St. John's University's study room, tree-lined paths, and playground lawns, you will always find the sweet figure of the two. Just when everyone thought it was a natural and natural thing, suddenly one of the biggest obstacles appeared.
In that era of alternation of the old and the new, everyone's thinking was in the stage of enlightenment, and many things were still influenced by feudal thinking.
The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker" are still deeply ingrained in the minds of many feudal parents, and Chen Jinrui's father is such a typical representative. Although he advocated for his daughter's new education, he insisted that his daughter's marriage should be arranged by him.
In Chen Tianen's view, Lin Yutang's family background is too ordinary, and it can even be said that he is poor, and he thinks that his daughter should not live a hard life with Lin Yutang.
In the face of his parents' opposition, Chen Jinrui chose to bear it silently and did not express more resistance to Lin Yutang. Lin Yutang, whose heart is like ashes, understands that it is useless to force it, and it will only hurt the people he once loved deeply.
So, he chose to leave. During this painful period, Lin Yutang met the person who was always by his side and took him out of the darkness, that is, his wife Liao Cuifeng.
Liao Cuifeng is a good friend of Chen Jinrui and an introducer of Lin Yutang.
When she saw Lin Yutang for the first time, she was attracted by his humorous and extraordinary temperament. However, because Lin Yutang was in love with her close friends, she chose to bury her feelings in her heart and silently bless them.
However, she was shocked when she learned that Chen Jinrui's father was adamantly opposed to the relationship between the two and even shattered their dream of marriage, and even went to Chen's house to try to convince them.
However, since Chen Jinrui had no will to resist, she could not do anything more. In an unexpected encounter, she saw that Lin Yutang was no longer as radiant as before, which made her feel very heartbroken.
Liao Cuifang has a wish in her heart, that is, to let Lin Yutang return to his previous humor and grace. This determination made her decide to often ask Lin Yutang to read books and discuss national affairs together, so as to give Lin Yutang more company during his lost period.
During this time together, the two deepened their understanding of each other and eventually fell in love. However, Liao Cuifang and Chen Jinrui also face the love obstacle brought about by their wealthy families - the opposition of their parents.
Unlike Chen Jinrui, Liao Cuifang firmly believes that the control of love is in her own hands, after all, only she knows best whether she is happy or not. Liao Cuifang's persistence made her parents see the determination of the two, and finally agreed to their marriage, allowing the two to establish their own small family.
After marriage, Lin Yutang wanted to go to Harvard University for further study, and Liao Cuifang decided to follow him without hesitation. Despite leaving her homeland and wealthy family, Liao Cuifang did not hesitate to follow him to the United States.
During this time, they lived a poor life, but Liao Cuifang did not complain, but took care of Lin Yutang's life carefully, allowing him to devote himself to academic research.
Lin Yutang's deep affection for Liao Cuifang, Liao Cuifang knows it. He suddenly took out their marriage certificate, burned it in front of her, and swore to her: "I will never be separated in this life."
This move undoubtedly showed her the determination in his heart, and she also understood that Lin Yutang was expressing to her that the marriage certificate was to dissolve the marriage, but he burned the marriage certificate just to let her know that he would use the rest of his life to prove his love and never separate.
Everyone has an unforgettable memory in their hearts, just like "on the stalk of memory, who doesn't have two or three flowers of grace and emotion".
Liao Cuifang knows the history of Lin Yutang and Chen Jinrui, but she never bothered about it, because she felt that Lin Yutang gave her enough security. At the same time, she also gave a full understanding of Lin Yutang's past.
She never asked Lin Yutang to avoid meeting Chen Jinrui, and even often invited old friends to her home to drink tea, and the three of them got along harmoniously. At a party, the children asked curiously, "Why does Dad blush every time he sees Aunt Chen?" ”
Because my dad used to like Aunt Chen. Liao Cuifang's words were like a spring breeze, neither embarrassing anyone nor causing any unnecessary speculation.
She knows very well that in Lin Yutang's heart, Chen Jinrui and his "love but can't" have become a thing of the past, and now he loves only her, Liao Cuifang. Conclusion: Lin Yutang and Liao Cuifang have walked hand in hand for 57 years, fearless of gossip, bravely resisting the shackles of the world, and finally got the happiness they deserve.
Even though the gray hair was gray, the hands of the two were always tightly clasped and never separated.
In love, the key is trust and understanding between each other. The tribulations of the past will eventually dissipate with the wind, and only by cherishing the present can we reap deeper happiness.
