"You look at me for a while, and for a while you look at the clouds. I feel that you are far away when you look at me, and very close when you look at the clouds." This poem comes from the poem "Yuanhe" by Gu Cheng, one of the representatives of the Misty School. close".
Gu Cheng’s poetry is always so clean, like a clean canvas without ink or paint. In the eyes of his readers, Gu Cheng is just a child who has not yet grown up, looking at the world with innocence. Therefore, Gu Cheng is also known as the "fairy tale poet". This kind of fairy tale thinking just led Gu Cheng and his wife Xie Ye into the abyss.
Love at First Sight
The love between Gu Cheng and Xie Ye has always been a hot topic of concern. Because they are known to be the love at first sight among contemporary people. Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai have been envied by people for countless years. Love itself is the love between two people, a moment of heartbeat, which results in a lifetime of never letting go and never leaving.
The encounter between Gu Cheng and Xie Ye was inherently romantic. The two of them took a train from Shanghai to Beijing. Yue Lao's arrangement was also just right, the two of them were seated right next to each other. Gu Cheng, who was not good at expressing himself, talked about movies with Xie Ye. The two had a great conversation and had a good impression of each other. When getting off the train, Gu Cheng handed Xie Ye a note. This note is the real beginning of their love.
Xie Ye later said that she never dared to imagine that the strange man she met this time was actually the nationally renowned poet Gu Cheng. She was delighted, surprised, and a little unbelievable.
The note Gu Cheng gave Xie Ye contained Gu Cheng’s residential address. Although Xie Ye was a little scared, the joy in her heart still led her to knock on Gu Cheng's door. Gu Cheng and Xie Ye met again. They looked at each other and smiled, like old friends reunited after a long separation, or like lovers after a long separation. Without the interruption of other people, the relationship heats up very quickly.
At this meeting, the two fell in love at the same time.
The poet Gu Cheng grew up in Beijing and has been living in the imperial capital. Xie Ye, on the other hand, has been living in Shanghai, and she is an out-and-out Shanghai native. This relationship came too quickly. The two were passionately in love, but they had to face the cruel reality.
Long-distance love, in today's era of advanced technology and extremely convenient communications, long-distance love is also a test of the end of a relationship. But the magic of love makes Gu Cheng and Xie Ye's attraction to each other even stronger. In order to express their longing for each other, the two wrote letters and exchanged heartfelt messages.
As a result, letters continued to exchange between Shanghai and Beijing. The mist and rain in the south are blurry, and the various life styles in the imperial capital are full of imagination and imagination. The relationship between Gu Cheng and Xie Ye has not been weakened by the distance, but they love each other even more passionately.
Gu Cheng is a person who cannot control his emotions. He is thousands of miles away and misses each other sadly. His letters can no longer carry his inner feelings. Like his poetry, he moves with his heart. Gu Cheng made full preparations and rushed to Shanghai. Meeting finally relieved the pain of lovesickness, but Gu Cheng and Xie Ye were unwilling to continue their long-distance relationship like this.
They want to get married. When you fall in love, everything in the world will fall apart, and nothing in the world will be able to stay together. But Xie Ye's parents did not support the two of them being together. Although Gu Cheng is a big star in China, Xie's parents are still unwilling to marry their daughter to Gu Cheng. Because Gu Cheng has no formal job other than writing poems and creating poems, as a poet, in the eyes of Xie Ye's parents, Gu Cheng is an idle member of society.
But Gu Cheng is infatuated, even more crazy. Faced with the obstruction of his lover's parents, Gu Cheng could only use his own way to impress his future father-in-law. Gu Cheng gave full play to his poet's nature and made a wooden box. He placed this wooden box in front of Xie's house. As long as Xie Ye's parents did not let him enter the door of Xie's house, he would sleep in this wooden box. Persevere every day, be on time, and never run away or give up.
As time goes by. Xie Ye's parents were moved. They clearly saw Gu Cheng's sincerity, and although they were not very satisfied, they still accepted this idle son-in-law.
On August 5, 1983, Xie Ye got his wish and married Gu Cheng, and Gu Cheng also got his wish and married Xie Ye. Two people can finally live a married life together.
Gu Cheng and his wife Xie Ye enjoyed the sweetness, and happiness enveloped them. At this time, the two of them were neither far nor close, they could see and touch each other, welcoming the dawn together and bidding farewell to the sunset together. They face each other day and night, living their own little life like any ordinary couple.
But as time passes, Gu Cheng’s fairy tale becomes reality bit by bit. Gu Cheng relies more and more on his wife Xie Ye. He was tired of the ordinary and trivial life and didn't like to do housework. Everything in the house was left to Xie Ye. Even Gu Cheng didn't want to work, and Xie Ye could only work alone to support the family.
Xie Ye's love grew instead of decreasing. She loved this man, his fairy tales, and everything about him. While Gu Cheng is becoming more and more like a child, Xie Ye is becoming more and more like a personal nanny.
But Gu Cheng’s fairy tale world is becoming more and more utopian, beautiful, and complete, and everything in the imaginary world is becoming more and more utopian. Gu Cheng became the king of this "world" and no one was allowed to destroy it. Gu Cheng lived in his own kingdom, sinking deeper and deeper into it. As a wife, Xie Ye only loves and tolerates her.
Poets are ideal, and their imagination makes Gu Cheng's thoughts wander far away. Gu Cheng wants to turn fantasy into reality, he wants to create his imaginary kingdom in the real world. Gu Cheng brought his wife to New Zealand and settled on Waiheke Island.
For all these changes, Xie Ye completely obeyed her husband's arrangements. In the new place, she still loved her husband deeply. Finally, in this new home, they ushered in the fruit of love. Xiao Er, the son of Gu Cheng and his wife, came to this world to accompany his parents.
The arrival of his son did not allow Gu Cheng to step out of the utopian world. He still fantasizes about his kingdom. He even began to hate the appearance of his son. Under his leadership, he ignored the objections of his wife Xie Ye and fostered his son in someone else's home.
Facing her beloved husband, as a wife, Xie Ye compromised. But this still did not stop the husband from fantasizing. Because another woman appears and she is about to break up Gu Cheng's love for Xie Ye.
At a poetry event, Gu Cheng met Li Ying, a girl from Beijing. Soon, Gu Cheng fell in love with this romantic girl. After Xie Ye learned about it, he completely collapsed. But Gu Cheng didn't seem to see his wife's pain. He took Li Ying to Waiheke Island and lived in his and Xie Ye's home.
The appearance of Li Ying made Gu Cheng feel that he had won, and he found strength for his utopia.
In addition to romance, Li Ying can also write. She wrote everything she had with Gu Cheng into a book. This book is called "Love Yimeier". In the book, Li Ying is neither ashamed nor apologetic, but full of pride.
Xie Ye remained silent. She who truly loved Gu Cheng still chose to love silently. Xie Ye recalled that he and Gu Cheng sold eggs together and went to pick up Li Ying to New Zealand.
Xie Ye said: "Some people say that I am stupid, and even say that I don't love Gu Cheng at all. In fact, it is because I love him so much that I have sacrificed so much for them."
Perhaps In this world, everyone except Xie Ye can understand that Gu Cheng has never stopped fantasizing. Xie Ye became the housekeeper of the family, responsible for Gu Cheng's daily life, while Li Ying was responsible for secretly having sex with Gu Cheng. What is almost incomprehensible is that Gu Cheng also imagined that his wife and lover could get along like sisters. Gu Cheng just wants to be a child, receive all the favors, enjoy freedom, and be unrestrained. Xie Ye's love became heavy, and he was so discouraged that he could only turn a blind eye. Even sometimes, the three of them went out to play together, a deformed love triangle, a strange home, all the changes happened imperceptibly.
Utopia, fantasy, love triangle, fairy tale. It looks beautiful, but is actually full of harm. Perhaps Gu Cheng was enjoying it. And everything does change rapidly. Xie Ye took Gu Cheng to Germany. As soon as the two left, Li Ying eloped with an old man who taught English on Waiheke Island.
Li Ying's sudden betrayal shattered Gu Cheng's heart into an abyss. Gu Cheng fell into continuous pain. He could not accept the reality, let alone Li Ying's betrayal of his feelings. Gu Cheng wrote everything about himself and Li Ying in a book called "Ying'er".
But this incident completely defeated Xie Ye. Xie Ye wanted to get rid of Gu Cheng completely. In her painful view, her beloved husband was simply a "psycho".
On October 8, 1993, Xie Ye insisted on divorcing Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng simply could not accept this fact. Gu Cheng and Xie Ye had a fierce quarrel, which even turned into a conflict between the couple. Angry and flustered, Gu Cheng picked up the ax beside him and hacked his wife Xie Ye to death.
Love is deep and painful.
Gu Cheng woke up and was shocked by his behavior. Regret, pain, but everything is too late. He finally chose to write four suicide notes and hang himself.
The romance dispersed in a hurry, and the absurdity ended in an instant.
The love between Gu Cheng and Xie Ye disappeared under Gu Cheng’s butcher knife
