In the eyes of many people, Gu Cheng is a poet and an unknown poet. His most famous sentence "The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find light" is amazing. But Gu Cheng is not as calm and exciting as he shows. He even went crazy and finally killed his wife. He chose to end his life.
The bud of love
In this world, besides affection, love is the most praised. Imagine how rare it is to have a person who can get rid of blood relationship and spend his life together. At the same time, love is unpredictable. Maybe, in the next second, I will meet the right person. This seems to be the story of Gu Cheng and Xie Ye.
On the train from Shanghai to Beijing, Gu Cheng and Xie Ye are very close. Along the way, Gu Cheng painted silently. Of course, this is also the normal state of his childhood. Because, Gu Cheng's sister once said that Gu Cheng likes telling stories, but she doesn't like telling them in crowded places, so she often tells them to her, or tells them to the wall alone.
Later, I learned to draw. Therefore, along the way, while painting from Gu Cheng, Xie Ye watched. Neither of them bothered each other, but they looked so harmonious. When they got off the train, the two exchanged information. Their love began from this moment. It was love at first sight.
Often this kind of dew love is only considered as a beautiful encounter, but Gu Cheng and Xie Ye are not. They found each other again. In order to be closer to Xie Ye, Gu Cheng rented a house next to Xie Ye. Then they fell in love.
Qian Zhongshu said in Fortress Besieged that "marriage is like a besieged city. People outside the city want to rush in, and people in the city want to escape. " In order to be together, two lovers will eventually choose to walk into this besieged city. Gu Cheng and Xie Ye decided to get married. However, it didn't go well. Xie Ye's parents don't like Gu Cheng and think he is mentally ill.
In order to impress her parents-in-law, Gu Cheng slept in a box next to Xie Ye's house, and even had a check-up before Xie Ye's parents agreed. So, two people can finally live together.
The gloom of married life
Married life is realistic, including two families, but it is actually those two people who live together. Because living together, all the problems that didn't happen in love will be exposed, and daily necessities have become the main theme of life. However, this is at least boring for the poet's Gu Cheng. He is always immersed in his own poems, in his own beautiful dreams, and even wants to involve Xie Ye.
After marriage, because Gu Cheng was a poet and not famous, Xie Ye supported the basic expenses alone. Originally had a good life, but Gu Cheng didn't want to live like this, and even proposed to buy a house in Beijing. Xie Ye knew it would be difficult to live without their original place. Neither of them had a job, so he didn't agree to join the city.
However, Gu Cheng is a person who insists on his own opinions. Because Xie Ye didn't agree with his request, he forced Xie Ye to agree, not eating or talking. I can't help it. Two people moved to Beijing. However, life in Beijing is really what Xie Ye thinks.
Later, Gu Cheng even put forward the idea of moving to other countries. This time, he borrowed 20,000 yuan and bought a remote place in New Zealand. Gucheng is called Riptide Island.
Life on the island is what Gu Cheng wants. Like Tao Yuanming, he has the idea of Peach Blossom Garden, but the difference is that Tao Yuanming lives in seclusion, while Gu Cheng hopes to find a pure land in the poet's heart.
However, Gu Cheng doesn't know English, so when he attends any exchange meeting of foreign poets or publishes articles, Xie Ye helps him as a translator and communicator. This is just Xie Ye helping Gu Cheng to work. In life, Xie Ye is not so much a wife as a nanny. Xie Ye has the final say in all the big and small things in the family, and what Gu Cheng does is just telling what to do.
But in spite of this, a person who is willing to fight and get hurt is still not satisfied with Gu Cheng, and there are still many demands on Xie Ye. However, is Xie Ye worried about such a life? At first, she might be happy for love. But after such a long time of consumption, love has become a real life, and Xie Ye's love for Gu Cheng is gone.
Gu Cheng's extramarital affairs led to the final murder.
Others regret that Xie Ye, such a beautiful woman, married Gu Cheng because of her stubbornness, which led to a bleak life. The second half of this life, which is more sad than before, officially kicked off with the appearance of Eiko.
Because of her unfortunate marriage with Gu Cheng, Xie Ye pinned all her expectations on her pregnant son. However, from the beginning, the son was not what Gu Cheng wanted. To some extent, Gu Cheng is different from his son in disturbing his life. So the son was ordered to be sent to someone else's house as soon as he was born. And this time, maybe it's time for Xie Ye to let go of "Attending to the city". Women are weak, but mothers are strong. Xie Ye, who lost her son, gave up all her love for her husband.
At this time, Xie Ye will pick up Eiko from home. She is a fan of Gu Cheng. She once expressed her love to him warmly, which was also Gu Cheng's favorite. As a wife, Xie Yerong endured the sexual intercourse between Gu Cheng and Eiko, and the three of them lived a strange marriage life. Even Xie Ye kindly arranged everything for them.
It can be seen that Gu Cheng likes Eiko, otherwise he would not write poems in her name. However, Eiko is a free and open person. When there was no love for Gu Cheng, she resolutely gave up the life of Riptide Island and fell in love with someone else. However, this is a blow to Gu Cheng. In his mind, Eiko should not be like this. She should listen to him like Xie Ye, and she only likes him in her life.
Gu Cheng's beautiful fantasy is just a beautiful fantasy. Later, he suddenly woke up and planned to take back the good life of his son and Xie Ye. But it's too late. Xie Ye wants to leave Gu Cheng at this time. Whether she had another lover or wanted to escape, Xie Ye decided to divorce.
However, this is a double blow to Gu Cheng. The heart couldn't bear the pain, so Gu Cheng gave Xie Ye pain relief. Then he chose to hang himself. This is 1993. They have been married for 10 years. This kind of life began when Xie Ye didn't listen to his parents' advice and ended in such a miserable marriage.
