In front of the sculpture memorial garden of Bing Xin, a famous scholar in China, a middle-aged man dressed in white casual clothes, holding a brush dipped in red paint, wrote eight characters "Teaching a child is not good, wasting a man's appearance" under the relief heads of two old people. To everyone's amazement, this middle-aged man was none other than Bing Xin's grandson Wu Shan! What's going on here?
Bing Xin of early wisdom
Bing Xin, formerly known as Xie Wanying, is a famous contemporary poet, writer, translator and social activist. 1900 was born in Gulou district, Fuzhou city, Fujian province, and 1999 died in Beijing at the age of 99, known as the "old man of the century". Father Xie is a naval officer. He grew up in a well-off family and received a good enlightenment education. /kloc-entered Peking Union Medical College Women's University at the age of 0/8. At this time, she has published many poems and novels under the pseudonym of Bing Xin. His works highlight the destruction of human nature by the feudal old family, the fierce conflict between the two generations in the new world and the suffering brought to the people by the warlords.
Bing Xin and her husband Wu Wenzao.
At the age of 23, he entered yenching university to study. In the same year, he won a scholarship with excellent results to study at Wellesley Women's University in the United States. Bing Xin met her later husband, Wu Wenzao, on President Jackson's cruise ship to the United States. Studying in the United States, Bing Xin studied at Wellesley Women's University in Boston, Massachusetts, and Wu Wenzao studied sociology at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. Although separated, they gradually deepened their understanding through letters. 1925 In the summer, Bing Xin and Wu Wenzao went to Cornell University to study French, and their feelings in the same place gradually sublimated. From 65438 to 0926, Bing Xin returned to China with a master's degree in literature and taught in the Chinese Department of yenching university. Wu Wenzao went to Columbia University to study for a doctorate in sociology.
1929, after graduation, Dr. Wu Wenzao returned to China and married Bing Xin in Linhuxuan, yenching university. The wedding was presided over by American ambassador Si Tuleideng in the famous Farewell to Si Tuleideng. The people of China waved off Si Tuleideng, but in the turbulent decade after the founding of the People's Republic of China, they did not let go of Bing Xin, a couple who were blessed by Ambassador Si Tuleideng of the United States. They are also inevitably hit, living in a cowshed and working in the hot sun. Until the 1970s, he was sent to May 7th Cadre School to accept labor tasks. It was not until Sino-American relations eased that the 70-year-old Bing Xin and his wife returned to Beijing to accept the translation task.
Wu Ping's wild personality.
Bing Xin and his wife have a son and two daughters. Wu Ping, the eldest son, Wu Bing, the eldest daughter, and the second daughter danced lightly. The two daughters inherited their parents' language talent, and they are both college English professors. His son Wu Pingsheng was born in 193 1 and received a good education since childhood. After World War II, Wu Ping went to high school in Japan. As the elite of the times, Bing Xin and his wife can't put all their body and mind on their children. Wu Ping spent his childhood with his grandparents. The old man's excessive doting made Wu Ping develop a self-righteous and unruly character.
Wu Ping, who graduated from the Department of Architecture in Tsinghua University, was undoubtedly the favored son of that era, but his personality remained the same. 1966, 35-year-old Wu Ping is an older youth. Although he is engaged, he is still not married. On one occasion, Wu Ping met a beautiful young Chen Lingxia at work, resolutely broke the contract and turned to build a love nest with Chen Lingxia. They had a son and a daughter soon after they got married. Both children are good, a big word "good", and they are not bad at first.
But the good times didn't last long. Wu Ping was soon attracted by other women and had an affair. Chen Lingxia is a traditional gender. How can she stand this? She wanted to separate her husband's infidelity, but divorce was a big event in those days, and her son was still young, so she finally didn't make up her mind.
Increasing family conflicts
As children grow up, Wu Ping, who is over 500 years old, still hasn't converged. While taking care of her daughter studying abroad in Chen Lingxia, Wu Ping had another affair and lived with San Xiao in China. Chen Lingxia has been disheartened at this time. However, due to her mother-in-law's reputation and health, Bing Xin once again chose patience instead of fighting. 1999, Bing Xin, a century old man, passed away. Without the last restraint, Wu Ping became even more unscrupulous. 68-year-old Wu Pinghe got together with a secretary who is 40 years younger than him, and this secretary actually has a family.
When Chen Lingxia rushed into the room that day, Wu Ping asked his secretary to hide on the balcony. Chen Lingxia went to the balcony to pull the woman. Wu Ping once put Chen Lingxia on the bed and shouted for you to run. The woman ran out wearing a Wu Ping robe.
Perhaps it was Wu Ping's initial disloyalty that led to Chen Lingxia's extreme distrust. The unbridgeable rift makes the family atmosphere always abnormal, and the vicious circle makes Wu Ping always look for spiritual comfort. But mistakes are mistakes. As a responsible man, you should have the courage to admit this and try your best to make up for the damage caused by your mistakes. But Wu Ping didn't do it. Desperately, he chose to file divorce proceedings with Chen Lingxia. Even in those days when Chen Lingxia was suffering from cancer and had a hard life, she didn't show any sympathy.
Grandson Wu Shan's indignation.
Since then, with the breakdown of the family, the relationship between husband and wife and son has also collapsed. Wu Shan, the son, was used to quarreling between his parents since he was a child. Obviously, his father's affair is the culprit. The real estate dispute between Wu Ping and Chen Lingxia finally affected the interests of his son Wu Shan. After going to court with his father several times, Wu Shan finally lost his patience. In order to make a greater impact, he angrily painted these eight red characters on the stone tablet on the front of the sculpture after entering the memorial garden where China literati and celebrities paid homage to their grandparents.
In fact, Chen Lingxia also thinks this kind of behavior is inappropriate. Sticking up posters and other things that can explain father's evil deeds is more practical and effective than disobeying orders on ancestral tablets. In this way, Bing Xin's grandson also had a fight with his lecherous father. Perhaps family conflicts and lack of fatherly love may be one of the reasons for this excessive behavior.
It can be seen that the superior family environment of the descendants of celebrities, while enjoying the sense of superiority, also planted their own special complex in their hearts. Self-willed, rarely consider what kind of harm their actions will cause to each other. But no matter who you are, you have to pay for your actions. In the end, Wu Ping was condemned by public opinion, and Wu Shan was ordered to compensate for the loss of the sculpture memorial park.
