Such a talented artist has an extraordinary emotional life.
Young love is not worth daily necessities.
Cao Yu loves literature and poetry very much. Every time he creates, he seems to be isolated from the world, but who would have thought that he had a romantic past with his first wife.
Cao Yu met his first wife in Tsinghua Auditorium. One is the protagonist on the stage and the other is the audience. When everyone was attracted by Cao Yu on the stage, Zheng Xiu under the stage was also deeply attracted by Cao Yu.
Later, Cao Yu said that Zheng Xiu fell in love at first sight not only because of her appearance, but also because of her unique temperament.
After the performance, he didn't dare to greet Zheng Xiu rashly, so he had to inquire about Zheng Xiu carefully. When Cao Yu learned that Zheng Xiu was admitted to Tsinghua University Law Department, he was always calm and cheered happily.
But even though they were in the same school, Cao Yu didn't find a chance to talk to Zheng Xiu.
1933, Cao Yu's Tsinghua Drama Club is going to rehearse the English drama Sin. The male host has confirmed that Cao Yu has only a female host, but has not found it yet. At this time, he thought of Zheng Xiu, and in order to further close the relationship, he invited her to play the leading role. Fortunately, Zheng Xiu accepted the invitation without hesitation.
Since then, the two have often stayed together to discuss scripts. He often sends Zheng Xiu home and takes good care of Zheng Xiu in his life. Gradually, Zheng Xiu was moved by Cao Yu's enthusiasm and thoughtfulness. This man has a high talent. Zheng Xiu was very moved by Cao Yu, but after a month together, she was still not sure what she thought.
After the performance of the drama, the whole school knew about Zheng Xiu and Cao Yu, two great men. Zheng Xiu also received many love letters at this time, which made her even more confused.
Later, no matter what reason Cao Yu invited Zheng Xiu, Zheng Xiu declined on the grounds that Otawa was unwell at school. Poor Cao Yu fell ill after not seeing Zheng Xiu for more than ten days.
Zheng Xiu heard the news from a friend and immediately ran to Cao Yu's dormitory to visit him. After meeting, although there are thousands of words, it is difficult to say at the moment, but their deep affection has been expressed with their eyes.
Since visiting the sick, the relationship between two people has been confirmed, and there is basically nothing for two people in love to separate.
During their contact, Cao Yu created Thunderstorm, which was shown to Zheng Xiu as soon as it was finished. Zheng Xiu also praised Cao Yu's talent without stint. On the contrary, Cao Yu said modestly that he still has to study hard to create good works, and the better people are, the more modest they are.
After that, the publication of Thunderstorm was a great success. When everyone praised Cao Yu, he didn't feel how good he was, so he gave Zheng Xiu the hardcover edition presented by Ba Jin. Two people who love each other so much, no one can imagine that they will drift away and become strangers.
It's one of his, but not the only one.
Not long after, the war broke out, and the two had to run from Wuhan to Changsha, where they held a wedding. Because of the war, their wedding was very simple. Not only did more than 20 people attend the wedding reception, but their parents couldn't come, so they had to send a telegram to wish them well.
They don't care about the luxury of the wedding, as long as there are lovers together, everything is not a problem. Although Zheng Xiu occasionally fantasizes that the war will end at an early date and the two will make up for a decent wedding, she has never told Cao Yu that it is inevitably inappropriate to say this at this time.
From 65438 to 0939, Cao Yu moved to Sichuan for work reasons, and Zheng Xiu went with him as a family. Maybe life here is so boring that Zheng Xiu can only play cards with other family members to kill time.
Zheng Xiu also invited Cao Yu to play cards from time to time, but Cao Yu devoted himself to his work and creation, because Zheng Xiu felt that Cao Yu was dull and boring, while Cao Yu felt that Zheng Xiu was unreasonable.
The longer time goes by, the more contradictions will arise between them, and the differences in personality and living habits will make them drift away. The accumulation of contradictions will break out in an instant, and the appearance of Fang Rui will completely break the relationship between Cao Yu and Zheng Xiu.
Fang Rui is the sister of Cao Yu's friend. When Cao Yu first met Fang Rui, he fell in love with him. In the long-term relationship, Cao Yu gradually fell in love with Fang Rui, and his wife's incomprehension was in sharp contrast with Fang Rui's tenderness and consideration.
Slowly, Cao Yu often comes home late under the pretext of busy work. Zheng Xiu found something was wrong with Cao Yu. She suspected that her husband was cheating, but there was no evidence and she could only bury her doubts in her heart.
Later, when Zheng Xiu saw Fang Rui's letter to Cao Yu, he couldn't help cursing, complaining that Cao Yu usually said that he didn't have time, but now he has time to fall in love with others.
But he only thought of Fang Rui, fearing that he would defile Fang Rui's honor, and Fang Rui would not associate with him when he knew about it. Obviously, at this time, he has no place in his heart for Zheng Xiu.
Cao Yu once said that he is a man with great feelings. He used to be indifferent to Zheng Xiu, but now it seems that this is the case.
Middle age misery
Later, the two divorced after all. On the day of the divorce, Zheng Xiu burst into tears in court. Zheng Xiu gave up working in Taiwan Province with his father. I lost my father, and now I have lost my husband.
195 1 year, Cao Yu and Fang Rui officially got married. The happy life of the two did not last long, and they met Cao Yu's life trough.
At that time, it was a disaster for people like Cao Yu who were free in thought and creation. After hearing that Cao Yu was criticized, his wife, Fang Rui, couldn't stand the blow and committed suicide by taking sleeping pills.
His ex-wife Zheng Xiu has been silently concerned about Cao Yu. I'm afraid Cao can't get used to local food, so I often ask my daughter to bring her own Fujian food to Cao. When Cao Yu was suppressed and was arranged to sweep the street, Zheng Xiuze looked at him silently in the corner and did not dare to disturb him.
Their daughter has been trying to fix them up to remarry. Zheng Xiu is willing to, of course, but he already has a heart.
Five years after the death of Fang Rui, Cao Yu got married again. Li Yuru, the third wife, actually started their love as early as 32 years ago, but Cao Yu was married at that time, so she was afraid to show her love. This love that lasted for more than 30 years finally came to fruition.
I just pity Zheng Xiuai for Cao Yu's life. Before he died, he was chanting Cao Yu's name. After Zheng Xiu died, Cao Yu refused to attend his memorial service.
Cao Yu's life is as ups and downs as a play. Young and famous, middle-aged and lonely, old and plain, but no matter what state Cao Yu is in, there is always a woman who silently guards him and loves him, saying that anyone can do it, which is even harder to do.
Later, he felt very guilty every time he thought of Zheng Xiu. Nothing can make up for the dead, only memories and talks.
