Undoubtedly, Bing Xin enjoys a lofty position in the history of modern literature in China. 1929, Bing Xin married Wu Wenzao, and Mr. Wu Wenzao is also a famous sociologist in China. After marriage, they gave birth to 1 son and two daughters, namely Wu Ping, Wu Bing and Qing Wu.

1February 28th, 999, Bing Xin died in Beijing at the age of 100. Because her life just spanned the 20th century, she was called "the old man of the century". After Bing Xin's death, she was buried with her husband, Mr. Wu Wenzao, in the China Cultural Celebrity Sculpture Memorial Park at the foot of the Shuiguan Great Wall in Badaling.

The tomb of Bing Xin and his wife was created by sculptor Zhang Deti. It is made of white marble more than 2 meters high, with Bing Xin and his wife's head on it. Bing Xin and Wu Wenzao Tomb in the center of the tombstone were inscribed by calligrapher Zhao Puchu.

However, as a well-known person who enjoyed a high status before his death, the tomb of Bing Xin and his wife was graffiti on 20 12, and the tombstone was painted with eight big characters in red paint: "Teach a bad child and waste time." Who has a problem with Bing Xin and his wife? Actually, it's not. Bing Xin and his wife had no enemies before their death. It was his grandson Wu Shan who scribbled on her tombstone.

Wu Shan is the son of Bing Xin's eldest son, Wu Ping. Grandma has passed away. As a grandson, why do you want to doodle on grandma's tombstone and write such unbearable words? It turns out that Wu Shan's move is to attract attention, and it is also embarrassing to attract attention.

Wu Shan claimed that his father, Wu Ping, had a new love during his marriage and abandoned their mother and son. Wu Shan's parents have been fighting for divorce for six years, and no agreement has been reached on the division of property. His mother was very ill and his father never visited him, so he was extremely disappointed in him. In order to attract everyone's attention, he scribbled on his grandmother's tombstone, hoping to force his father to admit his mistake under pressure.

As for why she thought of doodling on grandma's tombstone, Wu Shan bluntly said: Because grandma is a celebrity, she can only make use of her fame to make a topic. Wu Shan didn't think this was wrong. He also bluntly said that his father's abandonment of his wife and children was related to his grandmother's family education. So he doesn't regret writing those eight words, even saying that he can't be Bing Xin's grandson, but he must be his fucking son.

Wu Shan's behavior made many people angry. Many people think it is wrong to insult their ancestors, not to mention that they are their own grandmothers. Up to now, the traces of the scarlet letter on Bing Xin's tombstone are still faintly visible. What do you think of this?
