Wu Mi (1894—1978.1.17) was born in Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province. Yu Monk, whose real name is Yu, whose pen name is the rest of his life, is a famous western writer, a professor at the College of Literature of National Southeast University (1926— 1928), and 194 1 was elected as a professor at the Ministry of Education.
Preparing lessons is a "coolie"
Professor Wu Mi prepares lessons, which is quite distinctive. When the National Southwest Associated University moved south, the College of Liberal Arts took classes in the former site of Bible College on the mountainside of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, and the dormitory was once tense. Professor Wu Mi shared a room with Qian Mu, Wen Yiduo and Shen Youding.
At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the conditions for running a school were simple, but he was calm and meticulous in preparing lessons, which made people respect him. An article in Qian Mu's Eighty Memories of Parents, Teachers and Friends recalled this incident and wrote: "In the dead of night, there was a long table in the room, and a spontaneous combustion Yi Deng was placed in front of it. At that time, many people often read The Book of Songs and Songs of the South, and wrote articles when they came across new ideas. A person sits quietly under the lamp and writes. Yu Sheng (Wu Mi) copied notes and wrote an outline to prepare for tomorrow's class, writing one by one, merging and adding, and sketching the writing rules with a red pen one by one below. Yusheng has been teaching in Tsinghua for at least ten years, and has been taking classes in this floating house, so rigorous. Shen Youding muttered to himself:' On such a good night, you can chat and bury your heads. "Why are you here?" Yu Sheng scolded. "You like chatting, so you might as well go to another room to find friends. Otherwise, you will go to bed early, and don't get in the way here. "Ding had to be silent. Yu sheng added,' turn off the lights at ten o'clock. Don't exceed the time limit and disturb others' sleep.' Rosty Yi got up first in the rain and went out alone. In the early morning light, he wrote all the articles he wrote last night and repeated them again. When all the people get up, they will go back to their rooms. I have been in contact with Yusheng for many years, and I have heard what others say and do on weekdays. However, my understanding of him has always been profound and sincere. It's not easy to know if you don't get along with each other every day. "
The kung fu of lecturing comes from the kung fu of preparing lessons. In fact, Professor Wu Mi was famous for preparing lessons carefully from the day he stepped onto the platform. Before going to Tsinghua, Professor Wu Mi had taught in Nanjing Southeast University for three years, teaching courses such as the history of European literature, which made him famous for a while.
1923 "Tsinghua Weekly" has an article devoted to "the beauty of the style of study in Southeast University, the teachers are knowledgeable and conscientious, and the students study well and study hard". Among them, Wu Mi's teaching is mentioned: write an outline on the blackboard in advance, don't read books or take notes at the beginning of the lecture, talk endlessly and be in good order. At the end of the article, he said with great emotion: "Mr. Wu is also a graduate student in Tsinghua. He traveled to the United States, but his alma mater failed to send him here. Ning Fei regrets it! " Professors can "... speak without reading or taking notes, and have an orderly class". You can imagine how much effort he has made in preparing lessons.
The article "Mr. Wu Mi" said: "As a teacher, Mr. Wu Mi is perfect, except that he lacks appeal. He is punctual and diligent in lectures, like a coolie. Others always read the original text with their books open, but he always recites it, no matter how long the quotation is. No matter what he explains, he speaks in an orderly way, like a training sergeant, first and second. Bored and tolerant, but by no means irrelevant. Some teachers say everything, but don't make any comments. Mr. Wu is outspoken and has substance in his words; This may be wrong, but at least it is not boasting. He is never vague, he is always decisive. In other words, he is not afraid to say it. In terms of factual basis, especially the facts found in various encyclopedias and reference books, he is blameless, and you can only argue with him on the issues of explanation and appreciation. "
What does it mean to be responsible for students? Look at Professor Wu Mi, a coolie! But he is consistent and does not feel bitter.
Professor Wu Mi's serious and responsible style is not only reflected in his own lesson preparation. Liu's "Mr. Wu Mi I Know" mentioned a "little thing" that happened in Kunming. On one occasion, "a young teacher lost his textbook in class and asked Mr. Wu Mi if he wanted to borrow it. Unexpectedly, it caused severe criticism from Mr. Wu:' How can a teacher lose his textbook? Be sure to find it before class! "In the evening, the dormitory has turned off the lights to sleep. I heard someone knocking at the back door. Mr. Wu asked loudly, "Have you found the textbook?" I also heard an impatient answer:' Found it! Don't worry, Mr. Wu. I'm already asleep, so I won't open the door. I heard Mr. Wu say,' That's good. Teachers can't lose their textbooks, and they can't lose them next time! Later, I heard the young teacher say,' Actually, I didn't notice it at that time. I was afraid of offending Mr. Wu, so I panicked and told a lie. Now that I think about it, this little thing reflects Mr. Wu's serious and responsible educational attitude and lifelong commitment. "
Professor Wu Mi gave a lecture on the comparison of Chinese and Western poems in Tsinghua and wrote a teaching guide: "This course selects several poems and essays in ancient and modern Chinese and Western languages for reading, discussion and comparison. Teachers will contribute their past experience and methods of reading and writing poems to students. Moreover, teachers are willing to talk about it and discuss it in order to create real ideals and exquisite appreciation and solve critical problems in literary life. This course does not study the history of poetics, nor does it involve literary textual research. I only hope that every student is good at reading poetry and likes to write poetry, and eventually become a perfect and profound person. "
A childlike innocence, all in Yi Gi. Knowing this, it may be redundant to explain why he prepares lessons so carefully and what he has to do.
Classes are quite European and American.
Wu Mi is a poet with strong temperament. When he was in Tsinghua, he talked about English romantic poets and Greek and Roman classical literature. "Teacher Yu Heshang is also full of enthusiasm when giving lectures, and sometimes he is very happy." "Mr Rain monk teaches English poetry and advocates reciting. Especially famous chapters or poems, he encourages students to read and recite as much as possible. " (In memory of Mr. Wu Yusheng by Wang Minyuan) Therefore, his class is very attractive and popular for young students in their twenties. In the mid-1930s, the Foreign Languages Department of Tsinghua University trained a number of famous scholars and writers, such as Qian Zhongshu, Cao Yu, Li Jianwu, Zhang Junxiang and Ji Xianlin.
1937 After the "July 7th" Lugouqiao Incident, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out in an all-round way and Tsinghua was ordered to move south. 1October 7th, 165438, Wu Mi, Mao Zishui and other Tsinghua teachers and students left Beijing, passed through Tianjin, Qingdao, Hankou and Changsha, and arrived at Kunming Branch of National Southwest Associated University on March 1938. In the Department of Foreign Languages of National Southwest Associated University, Wu Mi mainly teaches the history of world literature, the history of European literature, the history of ancient Greek and Roman literature, new humanism, literature and life, translation courses, and the comparison between Chinese and western poetry. Wu Mi also teaches graduate students. His main courses are: Shelley studies, western literary criticism, comparative literature, etc.
Wu Mi, who is proficient in many foreign languages and has a thorough knowledge of Chinese and Western languages, is not pedantic as a general professor, so he is very popular with students in the National The National SouthWest Associated University. On a whim, he would recite his own poems in class, even the love poems he wrote to Mao Yanwen. The classroom atmosphere is quite lively and relaxed. His class style is also very special, very European and American. "Teacher Wang's lectures are never scripted and often ramble. He only designated some reference books for us to read, put forward our own opinions and write more reading reports. In class, the teacher sometimes tells anecdotes about literati, which makes us laugh. " (Mao Yumei, "Remembering Teacher Wu Mi")
Although Wu Mi's style is very democratic and poetic, his scholarship is very rigorous. "When Wu Mi was teaching the history of European literature at National Southwest Associated University, she continued to use Zhai Mengsheng as a teaching material, mainly based on her years of research and unique opinions, which made this course very lively and interesting and attracted students. Each class is crowded with students from our department and foreign languages department. This was one of the most' popular' courses in the Faculty of Arts at that time. There are many notes in every class book. Mr. Wu Mi's memory is amazing, and he blurted out many important events in the history of literature, even the writer's birth and death years, without any mistakes. Mr. Wu also made many supplements to Zhai Mengsheng's A Brief History of European Literature and corrected some fallacies. He always takes this thick book with him in every class, and there are many well-written notes in it, or they are posted in the blank. Every time the bell rings, he comes in on time. Sometimes, before the classmates arrive, he has stood at the door of the classroom with a bag of books. When he begins to give lectures, he always smiles. He looks at his classmates first and sometimes calls the roll. Classes are mainly in English, sometimes in Chinese, clear and natural, and easy to understand. " (Zhao Ruikun, "I am Professor Wu Mi, turn on the light for me")
Disciple Li Funing also had a similar memory: "Mr. Wang never wrote simple Chinese characters, and the font was always in block letters, dignified and square, and meticulous." This rigorous style of study has influenced me and benefited me a lot in my life. Teacher Wang's lectures are substantial and clear, and there is never a nonsense. Teacher Wang is extremely serious and responsible for teaching. He must come to the classroom ten minutes early for each class, clean the blackboard and get ready for class. Mr. Wang never misses classes and never leaves early. Teacher Wang answers every question, takes students' questions seriously and patiently, and inspires students to answer them themselves. Teacher Wang corrects students' homework carefully, circles the good sentences and wonderful places written by students, and writes specific comments to help students correct their mistakes and make continuous progress. " (Li Funing's "Remembering the Teacher Professor Wu Mi")
Wu Mi is a person with dual personality, which is shared by many people ... not good at housework. But when he corrects our articles, he always writes neatly with a brush dipped in red ink. If the word is altered, it must be drawn in a square, and the square should be filled to avoid being mistaken. His rigorous scholarship is in sharp contrast to his sloppy life. "(Mao's" Remembering Teacher Wu Mi ")" I was most impressed by the five teachers of The National SouthWest Associated University Foreign Languages Department ... that is Mr. Wu Mi, Ye Gongchao, Liu Wuji, Wu Dayuan and Yan Geling. Among them, Mr. Wu Mi is the most interesting, lovely, respectable, vivid, infectious and subtle, and also the most contradictory and painful one in his heart. Mr. Wu looks like a classical school in appearance, but he is a romantic at heart; He is sometimes a sun god and sometimes a Dionysian; Sometimes he is Hamlet-like, sometimes he is Don Quixote-like: or an organic combination of two types and two styles. " (Zhao Ruikun, "I am Professor Wu Mi, turn on the light for me")
In view of Wu Mi's outstanding achievements, in August 1942, the Ministry of Education of the National Government hired him as a professor in the Department of English Literature. Together with Chen Yinque (history) and Tang Yongtong (philosophy), he won the honor of "Professor in the Department" and was later hired as a member of the Academic Evaluation Committee of the Ministry of Education. This is an affirmation of Wu Mi's academic achievements. Wu Mi felt honored to win this honor with Chen and Tang, whom he admired, so although he was suggested to refuse this honor, he accepted it.
/kloc-in the autumn of 0/944, Wu Mi left Tsinghua University where he had been studying and teaching for 30 years. The contradiction with Futian Chen, the dean of the department, is one of the reasons for his resignation, which is said to be related to Qian Zhongshu. There is a saying that Wu Mi has a deep personal relationship with Qian Zhongshu's father, Qian Jibo. At that time, Wu Mi invited Qian Zhongshu to study in Tsinghua for one year and personally tutored him in foreign languages. Later, Qian was admitted to Tsinghua. Wu admired Qian Zhongshu very much and wrote poems praising Qian's talent: "Who is talented and knowledgeable?" The old and the new are connected with the west. Great things can be accomplished by early wisdom, and people can make up for them. Gu () Zhao (Oubei) carries on the family line, which is stronger than Su (Dongpo) Huang (Valley) and makes great efforts to govern. At the end of the tragedy, I will do my thing, and I will pay the price for it for two generations. "I can see that Wu Mi is very appreciative of Qian Zhongshu's knowledge. When Qian Xuesen returned to China, Wu Mi and Tsinghua agreed to hire Qian as a professor of foreign languages at Tsinghua University. At that time, Tsinghua basically agreed. But when the money comes to the General Assembly, the school is only willing to hire him as an associate professor. Qian Zhongshu, a youthful man, was naturally unhappy. He was even more dissatisfied with Chen Futian and Tsinghua, and even blamed Wu Mi for venting on the novel Fortress Besieged. Wu Mi was very unhappy about Tsinghua's change of heart, so he had to persuade Qian to be a professor at Lantian Normal University in Hunan. This incident deepened the contradiction between Wu Mi and Futian Chen (head of the department). Wu Mi finally left Tsinghua for yenching university, and his life in Tsinghua was over.
"That's not listening to the report, just watching the performance."
Wu Mi's appearance is not particularly attractive. Wen Yuanning, a professor in Tsinghua who is familiar with him, once described him vividly: "There is only one Wu Yusheng in the world, and you can't forget it at a glance ... but Yu Sheng's face is a natural gift, just like a cartoon. The head is shaped like a bomb, but it is also explosive. The face is thin and yellow, and the beard tends to be scattered everywhere at any time. But every morning, it is clean-shaven. The face is steep, the cheekbones are high, the cheeks are thin, and a pair of eyes are like two polished coals-all of which are mounted on a neck that is too long and a body as strong as a copper bar. " But it is such a famous professor who is a love supremacist. "In the debate, he was a humanist and Athenian, but in terms of sex, he was an out-and-out romantic." (Text "Wu Mi")
Wu Mi studied very hard when she was young, and every meal was sent to the study by her family. One night, the family sent a cake and a plate of oil pepper. Wu Mi was so absorbed in reading that he accidentally dipped the cake in ink and even said, "Smell, smell, smell."
You Wu is a talented person who never forgets anything. 1955, I went back to my hometown in Wu An and stood in front of the Xiang Ying Palace Monument for a while. I only recited the inscription once, and I could write it word for word.
As soon as Chen Yinque arrived at Harvard, he advocated buying books in bulk, buying books in bulk and buying books in full. It was because Chen bought books that Wu Mi was moved and wanted to follow suit. It is said that he was impulsive. In order to compete with Chen Yinque and Yu Dawei, Wu Mi gritted his teeth and spent 60 dollars. At that time, Guan Feisheng's monthly living expenses were 100 USD. He dragged out the annotated version of The Complete Works of Shakespeare, which was put in the bookstore and even the locals were afraid to ask, and panted back to the dormitory. Later, with the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Wu carried this book all over Qian Shan. Every time he moved his residence, it was laborious and expensive, and there was no suitable storage place at the same time. As a result, it became a burden.
Xing Wu is straightforward, always self-denying, and never takes advantage of others.
1944 went to Baoji to see friends and bought a third-class ticket. There were no seats on the bus, so he had to stand in the aisle. At that time, I happened to meet my brother-in-law Wang Junsheng, who had a free bus pass, so he took him to the second-class car and found an empty seat. Wu doesn't know. When checking in, the conductor said, "Third-class tickets can't take second-class cars." Wang immediately showed his identification, and the ticket inspector smiled modestly, but Wu was very angry and returned to the third-class carriage angrily until Baoji was still standing in the aisle.
Wu's study of A Dream of Red Mansions is very profound and famous at home and abroad. Anyone who listens to Wu Mi's talk about a dream of red mansions holds his breath and revels in it. Finally, I sighed deeply: "that's not listening to the report, just watching the performance."
Wu played Lin, Wang, Xue and Jia vividly. In the 1940s, there was a "Wu Mi wind" blowing in the ancient city of Southwest China, and people praised it as saying: "If Guo Moruo and Wu Mi's report can be recorded word for word, it will be a first-class wonderful article." 1947, Wu Mi came to Xi 'an to give lectures, and intellectuals rushed to tell stories, which was unprecedented.
One day, a group of politicians from Shaanxi Youth League pretended to be elegant and invited Wu to talk about The Red Chamber. Wu looked down upon such people, so he politely declined to thank them. Who knows, these people moved out of Mr. Wu Fujian Chang and tried their best to be accommodating. Wu Mi had no choice but to flatter him. After he left, his father scolded him, "Why didn't you tell me?" Wu replied, "They are like statues in temples, made of clay and carved with wood. If they talk about the Red Mansion, they are still serving cattle and horses. "
Wu Mi is kind and helpful, so he is often cheated. The imported watch he was wearing was coaxed away by two hooligans with a small alarm clock worth only 6 yuan. Another surnamed Zhang told me that Wu Yixue's students were in urgent need of hospitalization expenses in 200 yuan due to illness. Wu doesn't doubt that he will chip in to buy it immediately. Later, this card came again, saying that students needed surgery and needed some money badly. At this time, Wu Mou was thinking that Wu Mou was suspicious, so the liar took out a "letter for help" and read it aloud. Just as the nanny came in, he was surprised to see that the guest was reading a blank sheet of paper. (at this time, Wu suffers from eye diseases and can't see clearly. So the nanny called someone to hand over the liar to the public security organ. Wu was deeply touched by this and praised the nanny's shrewdness.
Li Junqing worked as an English secretary in Jiang Jingguo for 20 years. He was one of Wu Mi's early students. Every time I recall Wu Mi, I can't help but remember the story of his dog coming into the classroom twice. That is a big yellow-brown dog with big ears and big eyes. It is very beautiful. The dog doesn't belong to his family, but he saved it from several big men and was about to catch it and kill it. Maybe I am grateful to Li Junqing for saving my life. I am very close to him, and I will go to school with him. Every time the big dog comes to school, he always lies outside the classroom or runs around in the surrounding open space, but there are also two accidents-
Once, Futian Chen, director of the Department of Foreign Languages, took an English composition class. As usual, he first wrote the topic on the blackboard, explained the main points in about 10 minutes, and then went back to the department office. After class, the teaching assistant received the students' composition paper. Professor Chen finished the class that day and was about to leave the classroom. When he passed Li Junqing's seat, he suddenly heard a dog barking. It turned out that the big dog slipped in and lay under the master's chair. Futian Chen walked by and stepped on his tail. The whole class stopped writing and looked at Li Junqing. He was so scared that he thought it was all over. Unexpectedly, instead of losing his temper, Futian Chen, who was full of Westernism, squatted down to touch the big dog and repeatedly said "I'm sorry".
Once again, I took Wu Mi's "Comparison of Chinese and Western Poetry" class. The big dog waiting outside the classroom sneaked into the classroom and squatted in the corner. Wu Mi was copying a poem on the blackboard at the moment, but he didn't notice the unexpected guest. When he finished writing, he turned around and found a dog listening to his lecture. He hurried off the platform and said to the big dog, "I can't make the stubborn stone nod at present." Now is not the time for you to come, you'd better go out first! " The big dog seemed to understand Mr. Wu's words, waved his hand, and immediately quietly walked out with his head down, looking at Li Junqing sitting in the front row as he walked, as if he had made a big mistake.
"Ruthless, unreasonable and lawless"
Wu Mi left an impression on future generations as a rigorous academic master, but his marriage and love were like a hard olive, which made future generations dare not compliment.
Some people say that he is a real "womanizer". Although his words are extreme, they reflect his restless side in marriage and love. To this end, Chen Yinque saw it thoroughly and said that he was naturally romantic, but he was "bound" by the old ethics, and his feelings could not be expressed. For a long time, he was on the verge of rupture. So "it is better to let the kettle burst when it is heated."
There is an old saying in China that "a matchmaker jumps on a sedan chair", which means that a third party who is a matchmaker falls in love with one of them, but instead becomes a bride or groom and gets on a sedan chair that shouldn't belong to him. Wu Mi's tragedy of marriage and love is the best footnote of this famous saying.
191810/In June, Wu Mi, who was studying at Harvard, suddenly received a letter from Chen Liexun, a classmate from Tsinghua who was studying in the United States, and wanted to introduce his sister Chen Xinyi to Wu Mi as his wife. The letter said that Chen Xinyi graduated from Zhejiang Women's Normal School with a complete curriculum. She is now 24 years old and a primary school teacher in Dinghai County, Zhejiang Province. She has a high heart and is very strict in choosing a spouse. In the letter, Chen Liexun clearly pointed out that her sister heard him talk about Wu Mi many times at home, and then read Wu Mi's poems in Yizhi magazine and Tsinghua Weekly, especially when she saw Wu Mi's photos in Tsinghua Weekly, and she sprouted love and was willing to marry Wu Mi and serve for life. After receiving the letter, Wu Mi was heartbroken and immediately wrote back to agree. He immediately packed his bags and rushed back to China. The curtain of tragedy slowly opened.
192 1 In August, Wu Mi, who returned from studying in the United States, hurried to Hangzhou to meet Chen Xinyi. However, this meeting is very dramatic, and it seems that there is some tragic image hidden from the beginning. When he arrived in Chen's family, Wu Mi was dressed in a suit and tie, in high spirits, like an international student. According to the narration in Wu Mi's diary, as soon as Chen Xin was pulled out, everyone just looked at each other silently. Unexpectedly, in a short time, another heroine came out.
This is another key figure in Wu Mi's life tragedy-Mao Yanwen. As it happens, Mao Yanwen and Chen Xinyi are good friends. On this day, she came to visit with great interest, prepared not to be close friends and went to school in Beijing, and didn't want to meet Wu Mi by chance. Except Mao and Chen are classmates, her fiance is Wu Mi's deskmate friend when she was studying in Tsinghua. Mao Yanwen, a 4-year-old Junyi Zhu, is an aunt and cousin. She has always been a childhood friend and has deep feelings. At the age of 9, he was betrothed by his father to the son of a friend named Fang. When Zhejiang Women's Normal School graduated, Fang was forced to get married for fear of misfortune. Just as Fang's big sedan chair was carried to Mao's door, he was unwilling to be at the mercy of fate and bravely escaped from the back door. Before that, she and her cousin Junyi Zhu had been married for life. After the Mao couple broke off their engagement in Fang Jia, Mao Yanwen and Junyi Zhu were formally engaged. As a deskmate friend of Junyi Zhu, Wu Mi knew about Mao Yanwen when she was studying in Tsinghua. At that time, Junyi Zhu would let Wu Mi have a look after her cousin's love letter every time.
Wu Mi admired Mao Yanwen's talent in his letter. Over time, he had a strange feeling in his heart. Because of his classmates' friendship, he didn't show it, but it was deeply hidden in his heart.
When Wu Mi was studying in the United States, he received a letter from Chen Liexun to make up with his sister, so he entrusted Junyi Zhu to find Mao Yanwen to learn about Chen Xinyi and exchange information. In this sense, Mao Yanwen is actually a matchmaker between Wu Mi and Chen Xinyi. This time, I suddenly met Mao Yanwen at my home in Chen Xin. Wu Mi had a good impression, but seeing each other lively and elegant, generous and decent, just like a bride, Wu Mi suddenly felt a little lonely, but Mao Yanwen was occupied, and she was her best friend's fiancee.
In the afternoon, Mao Yanwen said goodbye to them and returned to Shanghai. Wu Mi and Chen Xin fell in love at first sight. Under the arrangement of Chen Fu, they went boating in the West Lake together, and Wu Mi was very happy. The next day, they both swam the West Lake early and had a good time. Wu Mi wrote in his diary: It was a trip to Japan, which was more enjoyable than yesterday's trip. My family, friends and friends of the country, I talk about everything at will ... The happiness of this day has been countless for more than ten years.
13 days later, Wu Mi and Chen Xinyi officially got married.
Subsequently, Wu Mi and his classmate Junyi Zhu were both hired as professors by Southeast University. Facts have proved that such a hasty marriage is a tragedy for Wu Mi and Chen Xinyi. It turns out that Wu Mi has carefully entrusted Mao Yanwen to inquire about Chen Xinyi at home. Mao Yanwen didn't exaggerate blindly, because he and Chen Xinyi are old friends. She thinks that Chen Xinyi has a good personality and can make friends, but there is no need to get engaged rashly. After seeing Chen Xin, Wu Mi forgot Mao Yanwen's advice in the letter. His friend Chen Yinque advised him: "It is shameful for a person to be less knowledgeable than others; It's better for a man to marry a wife. Why are you embarrassed? " Wu Mi married Chen Xinyi in a hurry.
However, in Southeast University, Mao Yanwen really entered Wu Mi's life. Junyi Zhu suddenly changed his mind at this time. He insisted on breaking off his engagement with Mao Yanwen on the grounds that consanguineous marriage would be harmful to the next generation. After waiting for 6 years, Mao Yanwen, who escaped marriage, only married her cousin, which was unexpected. In desperation, she had to ask Wu Mi and his wife for help. Wu Mi then shuttled back and forth between the two men as a middleman, trying his best to put out the fire. However, Junyi Zhu has made up its mind to refuse to enter into a white-headed relationship with Mao Yanwen. As a result, the marriage between Zhu and Mao failed and the engagement was finally dissolved.
Wu Mi, who should have put out the fire, was burned. After Zhu and Mao parted ways, they confessed to each other regardless of their marital status. Mao Yanwen flatly refused. What she can't tolerate is that what Wu Mi has done is really ridiculous, regardless of his matchmaker status and friendship. In almost every letter, he will spare no effort to narrate that he read the letter she sent from Junyi Zhu and gradually became in love, which greatly disgusted Mao Yanwen, what's more, she and Wu Mi's wife Chen Xinyi were good friends and classmates.
I think this is also the doom of Wu Mi's emotional course. At the beginning, the two heroines made their debut at the same time. Chen Xin Yihe Mao Yanwen are both women who occupy an important position in Wu Mi's life. Chen is his married wife and has three daughters. Mao is his lover till death.
Of course, the initiator of this tragedy is Wu Mi himself.
British playwright Bernard Shaw once said, "There are two tragedies in life. One is to get what you want, the other is not to get what you want. "
After Wu Mi was rejected by Mao Yanwen, she was unwilling. He just did more deviant things. Chen Xinyi couldn't bear Wu Mi's emotional rebellion, and finally divorced after seven years of marriage. This rock-breaking move shocked the world. "Xue Heng School" colleagues almost unanimously condemned him, and his father even publicly accused him of being "heartless, rude and lawless, in order to safeguard the old ethics."
Mao Yanwen immediately changed from a little-known figure to a "central figure in the Three Realms", and she complained bitterly in her heart, but in the face of Wu Mi's courtship, she was still unwilling. Wu Mi is not discouraged. The pursuit of Mao Yanwen became more and more intense and turned into a love marathon. There are so many stories in it that in the 1930s, their stories became a hot topic in the tabloids.
Wu Mi's persistence finally touched the beauty's heart. In a woman's bones, she always likes to be loved, and Mao Yanwen can't avoid this. But the love between two people was hard-won, and finally matured. Wu Mi is a man full of contradictions. Conservatism and romance, the new school and the old school actually exist in opposition. When Mao Yanwen was attracted by him and prepared to talk about marriage, Wu Mi gave birth to a little worry. She wants to be married to Mao Yanwen, but she is worried about the disharmony after marriage. Two completely different moods made Wu Mi hesitate, and he was swayed by considerations of gain and loss.
193 1 March, Wu Mi went to Paris for academic exchange. Contrary to his former tenderness, he photographed a telegram sent to the United States, urging Mao Yanwen to give up his studies and go to Europe to get married, or break up. It was pointed out that he often issued ultimatums to Mao Yanwen, and his language was very vicious. At the same time, it is said that he wrote back to China to show his love to a woman named Xian, and at the same time he had an intimate relationship with a blonde.
When Mao Yanwen came to Paris, Wu Mi didn't want to get married again, but got engaged. Enthusiastic Mao Yanwen felt very embarrassed. It turns out that the other party has tried their best to pursue her. Now that she has let go, the other party has changed her mind. Mao Yanwen cried and said, "You should always think about me, as an old maid in her thirties, what to do. Is our starting point wrong? "
Wu Mi was unmoved and said calmly, "People are often limited by time and space, with changeable emotions and no autonomy. There is nothing to do. " In this regard, Wu Mi wrote in his diary: Although I cried, it was not enough to touch my heart, which only made Mi hate her face, and even regretted that she had never met before and lost her ears emotionally!
It's really "how can I be embarrassed?" Interestingly, during this period, Wu Mi envied the love between Lu Xun and Xu Guangping, and made a lot of noise in the tabloids. He said: "Mrs. Xu Guangping is a capable and careful woman, who is good at spying on Lu Xun's joys and sorrows and coping with them. Even if Lu Xun is happy, she is willing to be directed. Yun Yun. Alas, why is the demand for rice different? The reality of Mi is better than that of Lu Xun, but his life has never been a happy encounter. How can Andrew's woman be Xu Guangping? Read this sadness. "
Wu Mi and Mao Yanwen came back from Europe after their wedding in Paris. Mao Yanwen stayed in Shanghai and has been waiting for Wu Mi to get married. 1In August, 933, Wu Mi went south again, with the purpose of going to Hangzhou first to make love. If he fails, he will go to Shanghai to continue to discuss with Mao whether to get married. Friends advised him not to play love games all the time, and he must get his wife back this time. As a result, both ends failed. Mao thought he was too playboy, so he also sang a high-profile song, saying that she wanted to be an old girl and tried her best to teach and save money and adopt a little girl. "Going home and joking with girls, I am also good at dressing up and pushing a car for a walk in the park for fun." Naive Wu Mi didn't notice the subtext of this sentence. He probably thought that Mao couldn't run away anyway, and he was still keen on his polygamous love. In a fit of pique, Mao Yanwen married Xiong Xiling. Wu Mi didn't expect this move. Mao's marriage made him feel abandoned and guilty at the same time. He decided that Mao was angry, gave up on himself and had to get married. For a long time, Wu Mi was not sure what role he should play. Is it a negative lover or a negative infatuated man? Both, neither. In any case, Mao is the most beloved woman in his life. Only when he really loses it will he feel precious. After Mao Yanwen got married, especially after Xiong Xiling died three years later, Wu Mi has been entangled, not only unwilling, but also sincerely repented.
1999, "Wu Mi fever" appeared in Taiwan Province Island. 102-year-old Mao Yanwen did not dilute her negative resentment towards Wu Mi because of the passage of time. She said that she had never loved Wu Mi. What would you think if Wu Mi knew what was going on underground?
