In the old era, people's ideas and expectations for women made women live a difficult life under the shackles of foot binding and three obedience and four virtues. Even in today's era, when these problems are no longer a problem, there are still some women who have been influenced by this perception and even suffered tragedy.
In "White Deer Plain", there is a woman named Leng Qiuyue, who was born in a scholarly family, has learned three obedience and four virtues since she was a child, and is a well-read lady. It stands to reason that she should have a happy life, but her ending is lamentable and sympathetic.
Leng Qiuyue's life began to deteriorate in people's "silence" about her marriage matching. Her father, a highly skilled and benevolent Mr. Leng, although he is highly respected, has too many expectations for his eldest daughter Leng Qiuyue. Leng Qiuyue has been carefully cultivated by her father since she was a child, and in addition to housework, she also made her literate. However, what Leng Qiuyue learned after becoming literate was only about the traditional "women's way", and what she learned was "three obedience and four virtues". The reason why her father spent his time cultivating his daughter was just to make her a good wife and mother in the future, which was in line with the requirements of the times at that time.
Leng Qiuyue, who grew up under the control of her father, almost never went out before marriage, and she was only exposed to the "male power" ideas given by the times. Her marriage was decided by her father and she chose Lu Zilin's son Lu Zhaopeng. This choice led her fate to an abyss of tragedy.
When the day of the winter solstice arrived, Leng Qiuyue's physical condition deteriorated and she finally passed away. Her body was filthy, and pus and blood were flowing everywhere, which made people sigh. And behind all this is the oppression and exploitation of women by the concepts and customs of that era.
Leng Qiuyue's story is an unfortunate beginning, but also a profound reflection on the fate of women in that era. Mr. Leng is a well-respected doctor, but his expectations and nurturing methods for his daughter led to tragedy. It also makes us think about whether we should pay more attention to the rights and status of women in today's society and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.
Overall, Leng Qiuyue's story is a typical tragic case of a woman in the old days. Her experience reminds us that women's status and rights need to be given more attention and protection. Only in an equal and just social environment can women truly realize their own value and live a happy life. I know that emotions and fates between people are often intertwined, and these stories often contain deep philosophical implications. Therefore, I would like to retell the marriage story of Mr. Leng's eldest daughter Leng Qiuyue and Lu Zhaopeng in my own language and structure.
At that time, for the happiness of his two daughters, Mr. Leng considered marrying his eldest daughter Leng Qiuyue to Lu Zhaopeng, and at the same time marrying his younger daughter to Bai Xiaowen. The reason for choosing Lu Zhaopeng is not just because of the status of the Lu family in the White Deer Plain and his friendship with the Lu family. The most important thing is that Mr. Leng has witnessed two things about Lu Zhaopeng, which made him look up to him with admiration and feel that he is a man who will feel sorry for women.
The first thing is that when Bai Ling was forced to bind his feet by his grandmother, Bai Xiaowen, who was an older brother, treated him indifferently and even persuaded his sister to accept this custom. However, Lu Zhaopeng stood up against it and shouted: "Women want to be educated and have their own future, why should they bind their feet, what is the difference between this and treating animals?" Through this incident, Mr. Leng saw Lu Zhaopeng's love for women and his recognition of new ideas.
Another incident was that there was a pregnant woman in the village who had a difficult birth, and Mr. Leng refused to deliver the baby because of the difference between men and women. At the moment of crisis, Lu Zhaopeng advocated that doctors should take it as their responsibility to treat diseases and save people, and get rid of the shackles of feudal concepts. This made Mr. Leng see Lu Zhaopeng's maturity, stability, assertiveness, and foresight, so he hoped to marry his youngest daughter to Lu Zhaopeng.
However, these advantages of Lu Zhaopeng also became the cause of his marital tragedy. He was opposed to the marriage arranged by his parents and hated feudal customs. The day before his wedding, he fled to the city, but ultimately failed to escape his father's control. Lu Zilin's slap made him succumb to reality and marry Leng Qiuyue. Although Leng Qiuyue rarely goes out, she also learned something about Lu Zhaopeng from others.
In this way, Leng Qiuyue's heart was full of joy and hope when she visited the church. However, Lu Zhaopeng did not marry voluntarily. In the initial stage of married life, Leng Qiuyue and Lu Zhaopeng didn't really know each other. And Lu Zhaopeng's appearance and talent failed to bring true happiness to Leng Qiuyue. This arranged marriage is destined to be full of tribulations and tragedies.
In this way, the story reveals the fate of the characters under the collision of old and new ideas, and also reflects the impact of the social environment and family arranged marriages on women's lives. While we can't change the history of the past, we can tell these stories to draw attention and reflection on women's rights and social equity.
Please understand that this rewriting maintains the theme and core meaning of the original text, while adding more details and emotional depictions to make the story more vivid and moving. On cold nights, we packed up our bedding and moved to sleep in the long-term worker's room. Leng Qiuyue is disappointed in her future life, and she feels helpless about the hardships of the unknown. However, fortunately, Lu Zilin's slap sent Lu Zhaopeng back to the cave room, giving me hope. She rekindled her anticipation of life. After all, he came into my room and spent the night with me.
Actually, Lu Zhaopeng didn't dislike me. He rebelled against the marriage system arranged by his parents, and since we had already visited the church and been sent to this room, he was naturally married to me.
Then, we came to the ancestor worship link. After worshipping his ancestors, Lu Zhaopeng refused to go to the ancestral hall to accept the ceremony presided over by the team leader Bai Jiaxuan. He knew that once the ceremony was complete, he would completely succumb to the arranged marriage system that he had always hated. As I expected, Lu Zhaopeng received another slap from my father. He compromised with me again, bowed to the system of arranged marriages, and compromised to his own heart. Since then, Leng Qiuyue and I have become a real husband and wife.
However, just when Leng Qiuyue wanted to be a good wife and mother, Lu Zhaopeng's heart had already drifted into the distance. He was still thinking about escaping from this life and living the life he wanted. Our married life is full of suffering.
Lu Zilin thought that as long as Lu Zhaopeng tasted the sweetness of married life, he would be satisfied with the status quo and live with Leng Qiuyue with peace of mind. However, what Leng Qiuyue and I didn't expect was that a few days after getting married, Lu Zhaopeng ran away from home and did not appear on Bailuyuan for a long time after that.
Leng Qiuyue, who was full of longing for married life, began to be widowed as soon as she got married. She began to suspect that the reason why Lu Zhaopeng did not go home was not because of his busy career, but because he married her. It made me feel bad too. However, Leng Qiuyue began to be depressed and sad all day long.
When Lu Zilin saw all this, he felt uncomfortable. He tried to comfort Leng Qiuyue and told her that Lu Zhaopeng was forced not to go home, not because he didn't want to come back. Leng Qiuyue, who is deeply influenced by the ideas of male power and three obedience and four virtues, believes in Lu Zilin's words, and she is also willing to be a good daughter-in-law in the Lu family.
Time passed, and Leng Qiuyue began to face reality. She realized that Lu Zhaopeng didn't care about her, and he didn't come home probably because he was busy with work, but because he married me. This period was undoubtedly difficult for Leng Qiuyue, but she chose to face it bravely. She is willing to try to understand Lu Zhaopeng's choice and adapt to such a life. And as her husband, I will try my best to support her and understand her. As an expert who is well versed in the art of writing, I must admit that Leng Qiuyue's situation is indeed sympathetic. For her, it is undoubtedly a cruel reality that she can only be comforted with lies over and over again. Although Lu Zilin tried to find his son several times, the result was nothing. For Lu Zhaopeng's decision, he doesn't seem to be able to do anything.
If it were another family, Lu Zilin might allow Lu Zhaopeng to take a break from Leng Qiuyue. However, Mr. Leng's position in the White Deer Plains is very important, and the Lu family cannot afford to offend. At the same time, Lu Zilin must also take into account the face of the Leng family and the Lu family. In this predicament, he could only appease Leng Qiuyue while concealing the truth from Mr. Leng. Leng Qiuyue's pain, Mr. Leng is not unaware, but he is still willing to let his daughter continue to stay in the Lu family, which undoubtedly reflects his father's love.
When Leng Qiuyue sought comfort from her mother's family, Mr. Leng not only did not give comfort, but reprimanded her. This treatment undoubtedly exacerbated Leng Qiuyue's pain. As a woman who has been completely corrupted by the feudal system, Leng Qiuyue will not have any sense of resistance. Although she understands her situation, she is powerless to change it.
Despite this, Mr. Leng also tried to help his daughter. When he learned that Lu Zhaopeng was captured by Tian Fuxian, he went bankrupt to save him, and hoped that Lu Zhaopeng could leave a child for Leng Qiuyue. He did this not out of gratitude, but out of love for his daughter. However, Lu Zhaopeng was bent on rebelling against the marriage system arranged by his parents, and never cared about Leng Qiuyue's feelings. After learning what Mr. Leng meant, he even angrily said that he didn't want to be rescued.
In such an environment, Leng Qiuyue can only survive day after day. Deep in her heart, she envies those prodigal women who are regarded as "fox spirits", such as Tian Xiao'e, who is accompanied by a black baby. And he can only stay alone in the empty room every day, with no one to accompany him. Under this extreme repression, she even began to envy those women who dared to pursue happiness.
However, for women, it seems to be their destiny to start from the beginning. Even if they are widowed, they dare not have other ideas. However, as time passed, Leng Qiuyue began to realize the boredom and boredom of this life, and she began to think about her future and the value of life.
This is Leng Qiuyue's inner world, a woman who has been completely corrupted by the feudal system, facing an unchangeable reality, she can only silently bear the pain and helplessness. On that cold autumn night, Leng Qiuyue's heart was as if it was cut by the cold wind, and pain came like a tide. In the long night, she could only recall the short period of warmth again and again, which was the love that Lu Zhaopeng gave her, but now it was like a phantom, gradually dissipating. As time passed, Lu Zhaopeng finally returned to Bailuyuan, but this time his return was not for her, but as the principal of Bailuyuan Primary School. Leng Qiuyue understands that this is undoubtedly the best explanation for her widowhood in the past few years.
Lu Zilin was overjoyed when he saw Lu Zhaopeng's achievements, he not only won glory for the Lu family, but also got rid of the days of being a widow for Leng Qiuyue. However, Lu Zhaopeng did not give up the fight against this marriage, and in order to avoid Leng Qiuyue, he moved to the school to live. He has no feelings for Leng Qiuyue, in the days outside, he met his true love Bai Ling, the two have made a private agreement for life, and Bai Ling is also pregnant with his child. So even if he returned to Bailuyuan, he still couldn't accept Leng Qiuyue and live a normal life.
Such an attitude not only hurt Leng Qiuyue, but also hurt the face of the Lu family and the Leng family. In desperation, Lu Zhaopeng's grandfather personally came forward and called him home. However, even after returning home, Leng Qiuyue still couldn't get a trace of warmth. Her hopes are completely dashed, and life becomes even harder.
Leng Qiuyue is a woman who keeps to herself, and she has always abided by the rules and morals of that era. She knew that if she survived like this, even if she couldn't see hope for the future, she would not do anything that would damage the face of the Lu family and the Leng family. However, some of the words and deeds of the male deer Zilin made her completely collapse. While being treated indifferently by her husband Lu Zhaopeng, her suppressed desires made her unbearable anymore. She began to hallucinate, often fantasizing that her husband had come back and cared for her.
But fantasy is fantasy after all, and reason tells her that she has lost her dignity and purity. So, she made up her mind to kill herself. But every time she hung up the ropes, she thought of her father. For the sake of her father's reputation, she finally gave up the decision to commit suicide.
Leng Qiuyue's plight is sympathetic, and her story reveals the plight and helplessness of women in that era. She is a woman who conforms to the requirements of the times, but she is not in control of her own destiny. Her story reminds us that respecting women and caring for their rights and dignity is an important sign of progress in our society. I witnessed the tragic fate of Leng Qiuyue. She always closed herself off and became more withdrawn and lonely. After that, she rarely went out of the house, rarely spoke, and after doing the work arranged by her mother-in-law, she locked herself in the house. After a few days, she finally couldn't take it anymore and went completely crazy. She ran out of the deer's house, "babbling" on the street, driven crazy by her own desires.
After learning about his daughter's situation, Mr. Leng immediately rushed to Lu's house to check the situation. He didn't say a bad word about Lu Zhaopeng, nor did he ask Lu Zilin why his daughter was talking nonsense, but asked the Lu family to give her a letter of resignation. Lu Zilin felt sorry for Mr. Leng, and promised to cure Leng Qiuyue's illness first, and then talk about the resignation. However, Mr. Leng realized the seriousness of the problem, and he would never allow his daughter to ruin his reputation and that of the Lu family.
Mr. Leng didn't walk into Leng Qiuyue's door, but just beckoned Lu Zilin to go with him to get the medicine. He personally gave Leng Qiuyue a pair of "heavy medicine", so that she would no longer talk nonsense, but he could only see her mouth moving, and he couldn't hear her voice. Once, Leng Qiuyue was Mr. Leng's most proud work, but now because of his face and dignity, he poisoned her with his own hands. Leng Qiuyue lost her voice and lost the hope of living, and finally died in the cold sky with unwillingness and humiliation. With long-suppressed desires and hygiene problems, her death was tragic.
Compared with Leng Qiuyue, Tian Xiao'e's fate is even more sad. Tian Xiao'e has at least fought and enjoyed herself, but Leng Qiuyue has been suppressing the torture of the times. In the end, when he was about to resist, he was directly "killed" by "male power". The three men, Mr. Leng, Lu Zhaopeng and Lu Zilin, directly led to Leng Qiuyue's short and bleak life. However, that era of oppression of women was the culprit who killed Leng Qiuyue.
This story deeply saddens me. Women endured too much oppression and injustice in that era, and their fate was often controlled by men. We should reflect on the social environment of that era and strive to create a more equal and just environment for women today and in the future. Only in this way can every woman truly be able to bravely face her destiny and live her own wonderful life. In that slightly cool autumn season, Leng Qiuyue was born in a scholarly family, she had learned three from the four virtues, abide by her duties, and keep herself. However, fate played a joke on her. She was snubbed by her husband, despised by her father-in-law, and even poisoned by her father. She has never done anything wrong, but as a daughter, she was born in an era when feudal etiquette was prevalent. She had to endure all this alone.
Leng Qiuyue was a woman who was deeply poisoned by feudal etiquette in that era. If she had had had been exposed to new ideas, or had dared to rebel against injustice, perhaps her life would have been different. However, in that era, she could only endure in silence, allowing the feudal yoke to restrict her freedom. If we were living in this era, perhaps such a tragedy would not have happened. We need to think deeply about how to respect tradition while also emancipating our minds, fighting for the rights and interests of more women, and breaking the feudal shackles.
