Isn’t it very popular now to have an old couple and a young couple? To be honest, there may be quite a few such cases around us. I often wonder if there is such a big age gap between them, can they be happy together, and is it really just for love.
I think some of them may have the kind of love that "you are born and I am not born", but it may also be for money. Today I am going to tell you a story about an old man and his young wife that happened during the Republic of China.
The story takes place in the turbulent Republic of China. The heroine of the story is named Zhang Cui. If you haven’t heard of it, then you must have heard of our male protagonist. He is the famous Kang Youwei.
The heroine was born in a poor family. Her family made a living by fishing, and she was the second eldest child in the family. The heroine knew that her family was very poor, so when she was very young she followed her father to go fishing at sea. Originally, it was said that it was impossible for the male protagonist and the female protagonist to be together because their family backgrounds were so different, but such an incident happened when she was 19 years old.
That day, she met him when she went fishing with her father. While she was tying the rope on the boat, she was noticed by 62-year-old Kang Youwei. He was also on a boat. When his boat passed Zhang Cui's boat, he made the boatman fall back because he was attracted by the beauty of the heroine.
After Kang Youwei saw her graceful figure, he could not forget her even more after he returned. He had the idea of ??taking her as his concubine. Although the heroine is beautiful, she looks very innocent and cute because she grew up in a small place. She does not have the arrogance and willfulness of a young lady from aristocratic families.
Although Kang Youwei was 62 years old at this time and his youth was gone, he impressed the heroine with his personality charm and his family background. Just like that, a 19-year-old girl married a 62-year-old man. After marrying Kang Youwei, Kang Youwei doted on her even more because of her young age and gentle and considerate personality.
But they are an old couple and a young couple after all. Kang Youwei is so much older than her, and people tend to get sick easily as they get older. Six years later, Kang Youwei became seriously ill. He knew that he didn't have much time left, so he called his aunts and wives one by one to arrange his funeral affairs.
Soon it was the heroine’s turn, because he had loved her very much since she got married, so he left a box of his calligraphy works to her. Kang Youwei's calligraphy is very famous, and of course it is very valuable. Now his works are also very expensive.
Even if they could not be sold for that much money during the Republic of China, selling these works would ensure a lifetime of peace of mind. Soon, Kang Youwei passed away, but the strange thing is that our heroine was still so young, but after the old man passed away, she refused to remarry.
One theory is that she loved Kang Youwei too much, and another theory is that Kang Youwei made a request before his death that she was not allowed to remarry. And who can tell clearly what the truth is?
