On the wedding night, Wen Yiduo deliberately did not take a bath for a few days in order not to be with his wife, and his whole body was sloppy and hid in the study.
However, all this resistance failed, and he was eventually forcibly taken into the cave by his family. Not long after getting married, Wen Yiduo found that he couldn't do without his wife Gao Xiaozhen.
Recalling the first meeting, Gao Xiaozhen nervously hid behind her mother, for fear that she would be despised by Wen Yiduo.
Wen Yiduo is talented, and is deeply respected and respected by his fathers.
Although she was born in a scholarly family and had a good relationship with the Wen family, she still felt inferior in her heart, especially her big feet, which made her even more uneasy.
However, talking to Wen Yiduo made her feel relaxed, and her good impression of him also grew.
After the two families got engaged, Gao Xiaozhen gladly accepted and began to look forward to married life.
On the wedding night, when she sat on the bed and waited for Wen Yiduo, she learned that he was missing.
The whole family anxiously searched for him and finally found him in the study.
Seeing his sloppy appearance, Gao Xiaozhen had mixed feelings in her heart, both uncomfortable and wanted to snicker.
During the newlywed honeymoon, Wen Yiduo hid in the study to read, while Gao Xiaozhen silently made tea for him and added fragrance to his red sleeves.
Gao Xiaozhen's thoughtfulness and care made Wen Yiduo gradually realize that she was also a victim of this arranged marriage.
As time passed, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up.
After the honeymoon, Wen Yiduo returned to school, and he also encouraged his wife Gao Xiaozhen to go to school.
Although Gao Xiaozhen was worried about being filial to her in-laws and handling household chores, she was eventually moved by her husband's persistence.
Gao Xiaozhen cherished this opportunity, studied diligently, and maintained correspondence with Wen Yiduo, and the relationship became deeper and deeper.
Later, Wen Yiduo got the opportunity to study abroad, but the elders in the family opposed it, but Gao Xiaozhen stood on her husband's side and supported him.
Her open-mindedness and tolerance make Wen Yiduo feel warm.
During his study abroad, Wen Yiduo suffered from discrimination and depression, but whenever he received a letter from Gao Xiaozhen, he could find comfort and strength.
Gao Xiaozhen always uses a brisk tone to tell about the trivial things at home and the interesting stories of the children.
The happiest thing every day is to receive letters from Gao Xiaozhen, and these letters have made Wen Yiduo have a difficult time.
As more and more correspondence was exchanged with each other, the relationship between the two gradually warmed up.
Even if he is far away from the ocean, he can't suppress the feeling of missing his wife.
He even wrote the "Red Bean" poem group, turning that endless longing into words and placing it between the lines of the poem.
Every line of the poem is his affectionate confession to his wife, and every word is full of longing and attachment to her.
In the summer of 1925, Wen Yiduo ended his study abroad career and returned to China to teach.
He was finally able to reunite with his wife and daughter and start a happy little family life.
During the time when Wen Yiduo was not at home, Gao Xiaozhen seemed to have a new vitality, and she became enthusiastic and active.
She and Wen Yiduo are immersed in the world of poetry and books, enjoying the warmth and happiness of the family.
However, the good times were short-lived.
In 1937, they moved to Kunming with the Southwest Associated University.
Wen Yiduo continued to engage in education, while Gao Xiaozhen took on the burden of the family.
She is no longer the delicate woman, but has become the pillar of the family, cultivating land and making ends meet.
Although life is difficult, the family is warm and happy together.
However, all this was broken by the murder of Li Gongpu.
The death of a friend made Wen Yiduo sad.
He decided to stand up and publicly denounce the crimes of the establishment, courageously confronting the enemy.
Therefore, he angered the authorities, and was offered a reward of 400,000 yuan for his life.
Relatives and friends persuaded him to leave this place of right and wrong, and the University of California also threw an olive branch to him, promising him preferential treatment and inviting him to give lectures.
Wen Yiduo was unmoved, he firmly chose to stay in the motherland and continue to fight for the just cause.
In the early morning of July 15, 1946, Gao Xiaozhen saw her husband Wen Yiduo wearing plain clothes and preparing to attend Li Gongpu's memorial service.
Before leaving, they said goodbye, and Gao Xiaozhen could feel her husband's firmness and reluctance.
What they didn't expect was that this separation turned out to be a farewell.
When it was getting dark, there were gunshots and noises not far from home, and Gao Xiaozhen knew that something must have happened.
She rushed out of the house and saw her husband and son lying in a pool of blood at the intersection, and she fainted in grief.
After waking up, Gao Xiaozhen did not continue to immerse herself in grief.
She sorted out her husband's belongings and was determined to carry on his legacy.
From that moment on, there was no longer the name Gao Xiaozhen in the world, she changed her name to Gao Zhen, turned her grief into strength, and firmly embarked on the road of fighting for justice and dedicating herself to the construction of New China.
