/kloc-in the summer of 0/925, Wu Boxiao, who was originally the English teacher of Duke Kong Decheng, the 77th generation feast in Qufu, was admitted to Beijing Normal University with the support and help of Wang Ziying, a fellow countryman. Soon, he was recalled to his hometown in Laiwu by his parents to get married. This marriage is entirely arranged by parents. The bride, Liu, is a native of Pianzhen village in this county, and her father and her father, Wu, are friends of classmates. Wu Boxiao, who was only 19 years old at that time, didn't agree to this marriage at all. He once argued in a very angry tone: "This kind of marriage is completely emotionless, just like meeting someone on the road and getting married without talking. Can you do it? " His parents persuaded him and forced him, but he always insisted on his own opinion and refused to agree. On the wedding night, he first reasoned with the woman, then quarreled, and they never shared the same bed again. On the third day after marriage, he angrily left his family and returned to Beijing.
193 1 In the summer of, after graduating from Beijing Normal University, Wu made a special trip home to handle the divorce. In order to gain the support of public opinion, he specially posted a mimeographed tabloid in Dongguan, Laiwu County, not far from home, to publicize the harm of feudal ethics and the bad reasons for parents' arranged marriage, so as to show the legitimate reasons for his divorce. Later, she was recommended to work as a clerk in the president's office of Qingdao Shandong University, where she met and fell in love with Guo, a senior two student of Qingdao Women's Middle School, and married Guo on 1937.
But after Wu and Liu divorced, Liu did not leave the Wu family to marry someone else. Instead, he did housework and took care of his parents until Wu's parents died. After marrying Guo, I continued to send money home to supplement my life. In the southwest corner of Wu garden village, Fengcheng Sub-district Office in Laicheng District, there is an unremarkable quadrangle, which is the former residence of famous prose writers and educators in China.
This house was first built by his grandfather Hao, who once lived here. There are two rooms in the East Room, two in the Westinghouse, three in the South Room (one in Westinghouse is Wu Boxiao's bedroom) and five in the North Room. At that time, except for the south courtyard, which was a tile house, all the other houses were commonly known as "jacket" houses. In the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), Wu Boxiao's third brother, Wu Xizhen, was rebuilt. During the battle of Laiwu (1946), the northern house of the house was burnt down, and the western wall of a room in the west of the southern house and two roofs in the east were shelled, so it was renovated at 1947. 1982, Wu Xizhen, the head of the household, transformed the original gate into an ordinary rural gate, and replaced the blank wall in front of the original straw house with a brick wall, the roof with a big tile, and the small tile in the south house with a big tile.
