He is really a lovely old man. At the age of 80, he wrote in the "Eighty Readings": "When I returned to Xiamen from St. John, I always stayed at my friend's house because I loved my friend's sister."

This sister is called Chen Jinduan. When he was seventeen or eighteen, he loved her deeply, but he couldn't stay together until he was eighty. It is in response to Bai Juyi's poem: "When people are old, they forget much, but they don't forget their lovesickness."

Once, Chen Jinduan's sister-in-law went to Hong Kong to visit him who had been ill for a long time. When he heard that Chen Jinduan still lived in Xiamen, he stood up with his hands on the armrest of the wheelchair and said happily, "Tell her I'm going to see her!" "

Although his wife Liao Cuifeng knew that he had deep feelings for Chen Jinduan, she couldn't help but say, "Yutang! Don't be crazy, you can't walk, why go to Xiamen? " Think about it, too. He slumped in a wheelchair and sighed.

If Chen Jinduan knew this, what would he think?

I gave you my love and left my marriage to her.

Before meeting Chen Jinduan, Lin Yutang fell in love with a girl named Lai.

Lai and Lin Yutang were born and raised in the same village, and they were childhood friends. They went to the river to catch minnows and crayfish together. He remembered clearly that Lai Baiying had a great ability. She can crouch in the stream, wait for the butterfly to fall on her hair, and then walk away gently without scaring the butterfly away.

She also likes to get up early in the morning after the rain to see how deep the water is in the rice fields.

She smiles like a clear lake, and the sun shines as brightly as spring when all flowers are in full bloom.

Is there a girl in every man's life, growing up together, chatting together and making many beautiful promises at an innocent age? He said he would marry her, but she said he wouldn't.

Lin Yutang loves Lai, and Lai also loves Lin Yutang. Only later, one went away to study, eager to pursue new knowledge and see the new world; One stayed at home, and grandpa was blind. She had to take care of him and finally married a local businessman.

Everyone says that first love is a curse that men can't solve all their lives. Later, Lin Yutang often remembered that in her hometown, there was a girl walking in the paddy field in the early morning. The wind blew on the tree, and the rain fell on the tree, wetting her hair tips and blue cotton gown. She suddenly smiled.

How crazy time is, it makes children grow into teenagers so quickly and pushes teenagers to leave their hometown and go far away.

19 12. Lin Yutang went to Shanghai St. John's University to study. This young man is very nice. In his sophomore year, he went to the podium of the auditorium three times in a row and received three kinds of medals. This matter has been talked about in St. John's University and St. Mary's Girls' School (both of which were church education centers established by the Shanghai Donation Society of the Episcopal Church of America at that time). However, for Lin Yutang, the best thing is to meet Chen Jinduan here and they fell in love.

Chen Jinduan is Lin Yutang's sister. In his words, "she was born with beauty." Talent loves beauty, and beauty loves talent.

Everything is like a novel. When it comes to marriage, the woman's parents stand up and fight Yuanyang.

Chen Jin comes from a noble family. Her father is a famous returned overseas Chinese doctor Chen Tianen, and Lin Yutang is only the son of a church priest. So what? Although he is young, he is not the right person, and his father despises him.

This is actually a very common thing. What parents don't want to find a rich husband for their daughter?

He loves her and she loves him, but there is a river between them. This river is no better than the Milky Way. The queen mother paddles, but the cowherd and the weaver girl are husband and wife, and they can still meet on the magpie bridge on Tanabata every year. And he and she, facing each other across the river, have no bridge to cross and no chance to get married.

Father Chen did not give the couple a bridge to cross the river, but he was willing to build another bridge for Lin Yutang. Chen Fu told Lin Yutang that the second young lady in Liao Jia next door was virtuous and beautiful, and he could be a matchmaker if he wanted to.

This miss Liao Jiaer is Liao Cuifeng. Her father was a banker and was quite famous in Shanghai at that time.

The Lins' parents were very satisfied with Chen Fu's proposal and asked Lin Yutang to propose to Liao Jia.

His parents' orders are inviolable, so Lin Yutang went to Liao Jia.

Liao Cuifeng had long heard of Lin Yutang's talent and was very happy to see his handsome appearance. She wants to marry him.

Think about how sour he is. He loves the Chen family girl in his heart, but he wants to have a matchmaker's appointment with the girl next door to the Chen family. But what can he do? Many years later, when talking about this matter, he said with emotion: "At that time, the marriage of men and women was decided by the words of parents' lifelong matchmakers. "

Finally, he made up his mind to marry Liao Cuifeng, perhaps because Liao's mother and daughter said, "Yutang is the son of a priest and has no money at home." Yes, mother Liao is not optimistic about this marriage, but Liao Cuifeng replied simply and firmly: "What does poverty have to do?"

A girl, she was born in a rich family, but she doesn't dislike your poverty and is not afraid to marry you. Men have nothing to return except to love her, marry her and try to make her live a good life.

So Lin Yutang and Liao Cuifeng decided to get married.

After learning the news, Chen Jinduan refused the rich boy her father found for her and went across the ocean to study in the United States alone. Love is a matter for two people, and marriage is a negotiation between two families. Her sweetheart is going to marry the girl next door to her house. She was also an injured soldier in this war without smoke.

If, if he and she both fight for it and are determined to be together, what will be the outcome? Neither he nor she did it. They love each other too quietly. They are all deserters of love.

No one knows how Chen Jinduan feels when he looks back on this relationship. History is only a brief record. After returning from studying abroad, Chen Jinduan remained unmarried for many years and lived alone. It was not until she was 32 years old that she married Fang Xichou, a professor at Xiamen University, and lived in Xiamen for a long time. She has no children for life, only adopted a pair of children.

Snuggle up on the road of love

The afterglow of the sunset is warmly sprinkled in Selous Nature Reserve. On the cape of the mountain, a group of small animals snuggled up to watch the sunset in the distance ... This is a very clever human animal named Li Mao. Just escaped a cheetah chase, and now they are enjoying the sweetness and happiness of the rest of their lives.

How difficult it is for such a small animal with a body length of only 40 cm to survive! In the highlands of eastern Africa, they have countless natural enemies: African lions and African leopards are used to eating jackals as a good meal, bison can kick open jackals' caves with a casual foot, and huge wild dogs are also eyeing them.

Lee always lives in danger, but their lifestyle is full of wisdom. A dozen or dozens of jackals live together to form a group. They chose warriors and wise men as clan leaders, and under their leadership, they searched for food, built nests, propagated and fled from natural enemies.

Every morning, Liao has an indispensable lesson, that is, combing each other's hair for his companions, getting in close contact, leaving his own smell on each other, and enhancing unity and friendship.

This is a group of small animals that love each other. In the harsh living environment, they know how to enjoy intimate relationships and the sweetness brought by intimate relationships. Know how to convey love with actions, and feel comfortable in the warm brewing of love; Know how to rely on each other, warm each other, and rely on each other to unite the strength and confidence to deal with danger.

Mongoose must constantly migrate, stay in one place for a long time, the accumulation of body odor is getting stronger and stronger, and natural enemies will find it interesting. Walking on the vast African plateau, jackals lined up neatly, leaving their cubs in the middle, which looked like huge animals from a distance. This can not only deter predators, but also prevent jackals from falling behind. On the road, there will be great danger at any time. A brave jackal pushed his companion away to meet the vicious snake; Grassland statues may strike vertically like fighter planes at any time, and jackals scream, putting themselves in danger of exposure and warning their companions.

Li will also spend a lot of time and energy to take care of the old, the weak and the sick. I don't have a narrow family concept. All individuals are their own children. A jackal with love and responsibility in his heart migrates to another destination. When he finds that his cubs are missing, he will not hesitate to return to the original place, although there are many wild dogs, wolves, cheetahs and grassland sculptures in the original place. ...

Escaped the pursuit of a cheetah, on the hill, they climbed on each other's shoulders like human beings, watching the sunset from a distance ... They snuggled up on the dangerous road, snuggled up on the road of love, and eliminated their fears with love. Maybe after a while, some of them will disappear in the sudden disaster.

However, love at this moment is eternal.
