Tagore gave Lin Huiyin three lines of poetry, telling Xu Zhimo's ending
At 10 a.m. on April 12, 1924, a steamer slowly sailed into the Huishan Wharf in Shanghai, where the people who waited finally met the first Asian Nobel laureate in literature, the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore.
Tagore was warmly invited by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and the Chinese academic circles paid great attention to it and gave him a high-standard reception. Xu Zhimo, who is hot in the literary world, and Lin Huiyin, who is known as the first talented woman, are responsible for receiving Tagore and serving as his translator.
Tagore was very pleased with their talent for translating Tagore's beautiful poems in English perfectly, as well as skillfully translating the essence of Chinese culture into English.
When Tagore was about to leave China, he left Lin Huiyin a poem of only three lines, and many years later, it was discovered that this poem actually revealed the tragic fate of Xu Zhimo.
The story of Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin is not just a love tragedy, but an expression of deep love and appreciation. Xu Zhimo met Lin Huiyin, who was only 16 years old, in 1920 and was deeply attracted by her outstanding beauty and profound cultivation.
However, due to their age gap and Lin Huiyin's understanding of Xu Zhimo's father's friend, this relationship did not come to fruition in the end. Despite this, Xu Zhimo's love and appreciation for Lin Huiyin has not diminished, which has also become a precious memory in his life.
Lin Huiyin and Xu Zhimo's friendship began with a trip to the United Kingdom, where they shared literary and artistic insights and spent quality time together on a stroll along the River Cam. However, when they separated, Xu Zhimo always missed every day with Lin Huiyin, and their conversations, laughter, and anecdotes left a deep impression on his heart.
Although he couldn't see Lin Huiyin often, he still kept every moment with her by writing letters. However, their lives were not always so harmonious, and Xu Zhimo's original wife, Zhang Youyi, also played an important role in their lives.
Zhang Youyi's hard work made Xu Zhimo feel pressure, but her dedication to the family is also worthy of respect. Although life is somewhat complicated, Lin Huiyin and Xu Zhimo's friendship has always been the same.
With his wife by his side, he can no longer get together with Lin Huiyin as often as he did when he was alone. In order to get Lin Huiyin's letter in time, Xu Zhimo lied to Zhang Youyi every day, saying that he was going to a nearby barber shop for a haircut.
However, he didn't go to the barbershop, Xu Zhimo's real purpose was actually to go to the grocery store opposite the barbershop to pick up Lin Huiyin's letter. In getting along with Lin Huiyin, Xu Zhimo had deep feelings for her, and he turned all his tenderness for Lin Huiyin into gorgeous poems.
Lin Changmin soon noticed Xu Zhimo's special feelings for his daughter, and he reminded his daughter to pay attention to the fact that Xu Zhimo was married and could not be confused by his romantic offensive.
Although Lin Huiyin was only sixteen years old, she had a momentary throbbing for Xu Zhimo's romantic pursuit, but she still maintained her sanity and firmness. In order to be with Lin Huiyin, and in order to resist the arranged marriage that her father forced on her, Xu Zhimo officially filed for divorce from Zhang Youyi in 1921, although Zhang Youyi was pregnant.
He had expectations for Lin Huiyin, and even though she had returned to China in October 1921, he firmly believed that the two could be together. Soon after Lin Huiyin's departure, Xu Zhimo completed his studies in the UK, and before leaving Cambridge, he poured his thoughts about her into "Farewell to Cambridge".
That poem reveals his belief in being with Lin Huiyin. However, after Xu Zhimo returned to Beijing, he learned about Lin Huiyin's relationship with Liang Sicheng, and although he asked to meet Lin Huiyin many times, Lin Huiyin was deeply attracted by Liang Sicheng's love.
Xu Zhimo could only accept this reality, he didn't understand why his true feelings couldn't move Lin Huiyin, but Lin Huiyin already knew the reason.
Please understand the following copywriting content and generate a new copy, and ask the core idea of the new copywriting to remain the same: Xu Zhimo's concept of love is mainly romantic, he once pursued Lin Huiyin regardless of ethics and morality, but in fact, what he loves is only Lin Huiyin imagined by the poet's romantic emotions.
Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman's marriage also reflects his ultimate pursuit of romantic love. At the Beijing Ball in 1922, Xu Zhimo met Lu Xiaoman, who was equally talented and beautiful, and he was quickly filled with the emptiness in his heart by her.
However, Lu Xiaoman is a married woman, and her husband, Wang Geng, is an army colonel who is often busy with official duties. Xu Zhimo's appearance made Wang Geng breathe a sigh of relief, because both of them were former students and friends of Liang Qichao.
Wang Geng, who has received a new type of education, is open-minded and can see love and marriage openly. He invited Xu Zhimo, who shared his literary hobby with his wife, to take care of his wife, and Xu readily accepted.
They traveled to places of interest together, and the relationship between Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman quickly warmed up and fell in love. Lu Xiaoman ignored the fact of pregnancy and insisted on divorce and **, which led to infertility after that.
Wang Geng was a gentleman and chose to divorce after knowing about it. In 1926, Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman held a wedding in Beihai Park, but because both of them were married for the second time, and Lu Xiaoman fell in love with Xu Zhimo during marriage, their wedding was not blessed by the world.
The witness, Liang Qichao, severely criticized them at the wedding, believing that they were not emotionally stable enough, and at the same time suffered ridicule from others and their own inner troubles.
Although Liang Qichao criticized Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman, in the end he was still unwilling to give up his expectations for **. After the criticism, he painstakingly advised Xu Zhimo not to waste the rest of his life on feelings, but to realize the meaning of life in cultural and other things.
At the same time, he also advised Lu Xiaoman to actively encourage Xu Zhimo after marriage and help him realize his career.
Although at the wedding, they readily agreed to the marriage because of the majesty of their elders, but after the marriage, they left Liang Qichao's admonition behind. They firmly believe that their own happiness is the most important thing, and that fidelity to marriage is just an outdated feudal idea.
In order to pursue romantic love, they will not hesitate to suffer criticism from others. After Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman got married, they had a good time, they had common interests and hobbies, and they performed romance to the fullest.
Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman's love is full of poetry, they chant poems all day long, and enjoy a romantic life. However, the good life is complicated by the pressures of reality.
Lu Xiaoman's extravagance brought huge economic pressure to Xu Zhimo. Coupled with the influence of **, Lu Xiaoman's body has been in pain for a long time, and in order to relieve the pain, she became addicted to the habit of smoking opium, which greatly increased her expenses.
In addition, Lu Xiaoman's daily consumption is also very luxurious, she comes from a wealthy background and has never felt material deprivation. Although Xu Zhimo had a good income and was known as a "literary capitalist", he was still unable to satisfy Lu Xiaoman's luxurious life.
In the end, Xu Zhimo had to borrow money from everywhere to maintain Lu Xiaoman's life. Their quarrels also became more and more frequent, and every time they quarreled, Lu Xiaoman would bring out the reason why he was addicted to opium - that is, to be with Xu Zhimo.
Although Xu Zhimo had all kinds of reasons, in the face of Lu Xiaoman's insistence, he could only compromise. In November 1931, Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman had another fierce quarrel, and he wanted to escape from reality and return to Beiping for a few quiet days.
However, it was this boarding that made Xu Zhimo lose his precious life. This poetic love is finally shattered by the pressure of reality.
On November 19, 1931, in order not to miss Lin Huiyin's lecture on Chinese architectural art in Beiping, Xu Zhimo rushed to Nanjing Airport early and successfully boarded the plane to Beiping.
However, the ruthlessness of fate was revealed in this flight. When the plane flew over Jinan, it suddenly encountered heavy fog and could not find the correct course, and the pilot was forced to land, as a result, the plane hit the mountain, the fuselage **, and all the people on board were killed.
Hearing the news of Xu Zhimo's death, the Chinese literary circles were saddened, and they lamented the sudden death of this young genius who was in the limelight in the new literature, and also sighed for the fate of this merry talent.
However, Xu Zhimo's body was not properly disposed of. The news of Xu Zhimo's death reached Lu Xiaoman's ears, although she showed the grief of losing her husband, she did not collect Xu Zhimo's body for various reasons; The news of Xu Zhimo's death reached Lin Huiyin's ears, and she sent people to find the fragments of the plane, but did not collect Xu Zhimo's body.
Although Xu Zhimo's body was not properly disposed of, the works and spirit he left behind will forever be remembered in people's hearts.
When Zhang Youyi learned the news of Xu Zhimo's death, she immediately put down everything at hand and devoted herself to preparing for Xu Zhimo's funeral. Compared with Lin Huiyin and Lu Xiaoman, Zhang Youyi is overshadowed in Xu Zhimo's life, because as early as 1915, her brother Zhang Jiaxuan had married her to Xu Zhimo.
However, their marriage was not as happy as expected. Xu Zhimo often spoke coldly to Zhang Youyi, regarded her as air, always found various excuses to avoid her, and even ran to the UK.
Zhang Youyi, on the other hand, stayed in China, taking care of the housework and serving her in-laws. Although she knew that Xu Zhimo was cold to her, she was still willing to pay for him. When she realized that Xu Zhimo might be in love with other women, she was even ready to take a concubine for her husband.
However, in Xu Zhimo's eyes, this kind of behavior, which is considered to be virtuous in feudal society, will not only not be respected by him, but will cause him to be disgusted.
Soon after Zhang Youyi went to the UK to follow Xu Zhimo, she received his resolute request for divorce. At that time, Zhang Youyi was already pregnant, but she still couldn't resist the fate of being abandoned by her husband.
Despite being abandoned by Xu Zhimo, Zhang Youyi, with the assistance of relatives and friends, went to Germany to live alone, studying hard and finding self-worth. She persisted in this life for five years, until she received the news that Xu Zhimo was going to marry Lu Xiaoman, and then returned to China again.
Although Zhang Youyi was not favored by Xu Zhimo, her efforts won the respect of the rest of the Xu family. The elders of the Xu family said that if Xu Zhimo remarried, he must get Zhang Youyi's consent.
Zhang Youyi clearly knew that she would not be able to win Xu Zhimo's heart no matter what, so she accepted this reality calmly. In the end, Zhang Youyi returned to Xu's house and agreed to this request.
After Xu Zhimo's plane crash, Zhang Youyi took on the aftermath, but the two women he once loved had completely different reactions. He had a wedding with his current wife, but he had no sympathy for fear of witnessing the tragedy of the plane crash.
Lin Hui, who was married, only picked up a piece of plane debris as a memorial because of friendship and etiquette. Lin Huiyin represents the romance that Xu Zhimo pursued all his life, but this romance is unrealistic.
She saw through this illusory romance, so she has always kept her distance from Xu Zhimo, only as a friend and a literary confidant. Lu Xiaoman was intoxicated with romance, although his married life with Xu Zhimo was sweet, but after the sweetness, there were only hardships and quarrels in life.
And Zhang Youyi is different from them, she has never been affected by Xu Zhimo's romance, but what binds her is traditional etiquette. When Xu Zhimo abandoned her in the UK, she clearly realized the reality, broke the traditional etiquette, and finally achieved independence and freedom.
Later, when someone asked her if she loved Xu Zhimo, her answer was: "If taking care of Xu Zhimo and his family is called **, then I probably love him." Of the few women he has met in his life, I probably love him the most. ”
Xu Zhimo's emotional path, Tagore has long been insightful. This famous master, on the occasion of parting from China, gave Lin Huiyin a poem, just three sentences. The blue and green of the sky and the earth fall in love with each other, and the breeze sighs lightly, and their story ends.
Although Tagore did not clarify the meaning of the poem, Lin Huiyin's wisdom and talent made her understand the deep meaning of the poem. Soon after Tagore left China, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng went to the United States to study architecture.
And whether Xu Zhimo really understood what Tagore meant, we have no way of knowing. After bidding farewell to Tagore and returning to China, Xu Zhimo still maintained the essence of pursuing romance, and soon fell in love with Lu Xiaoman, which led to a regrettable ending.
