Why did Gu Cheng kill his wife and then commit suicide?

After Gu Cheng's death, there are many interpretations about why he killed his wife and committed suicide. Hong Kong made a film called Farewell to Gu Cheng, in which Feng Delun played Gu Cheng. The response was average, and not many people knew it. According to the content of Gu Cheng's suicide note Yinger, Gu Cheng's last madness was caused by a woman who pursued interests and hurt him, which led to his collapse. This woman is called "Yinger" in Gu Cheng's book, and her real name is Li Ying. She used to be the editor of Poetry magazine under the pen name Maggie, and now she often publishes her works. After Gu Cheng died, Maggie made it clear that she was opposed to the label that Gu Cheng put on her in her inheritance.

The deep cause of Gu Cheng's tragedy is his extreme individualism. As a person, Gu Cheng's attitude towards life is as distinct as his poems, which can be summarized as: extremely selfish egoism, extremely ignorant male chauvinism, extremely utopian liberalism and extremely naive fantasy world. Gu Cheng is a contradictory body born of all kinds of extreme things, sometimes like a naive child, sometimes like a crazy tyrant.

Gu Cheng declared that he loved all mankind, but he didn't love the people around him. Gu Cheng's wife was pregnant once before going to New Zealand. Gu Cheng didn't look forward to and be curious about his own flesh and blood like other husbands, but complained to her for a whole week that children would drive him crazy. The wife had to have an abortion alone. After arriving in New Zealand, his wife became pregnant for the second time, and Gu Cheng did the same thing again. However, the wife thought that she was over 30 years old and it was too late to have another child, so she delayed the abortion with various excuses and finally gave birth to the child. It is a boy. Gu Cheng said that his wife is a cunning liar, his son is a poisonous fungus in his fairy tale castle, and there is no second man in his world. Gu Cheng said to his wife: My son is not like you and me, which is good. I don't think I have anything to do with him.

After Gu Cheng had children, he thought that his children affected his wife's care for him. At his repeated requests, naive and poor Xie Ye had to send the child to (or foster care? ) to the indigenous Maori in New Zealand. However, there is another important reason why Gu Cheng's wife gave her son to others: Gu Cheng's dislike of her son even developed to the level of physiological reaction. He will suddenly and violently attack his son, kick him off the sofa, and then fall to the ground himself, with muscle spasms. Gu Cheng's wife couldn't judge whether Gu Cheng deliberately pretended to be sick, but for the sake of the two men she loved, the woman had to separate the two men and herself from her son. In Gu Cheng, Xie Ye can only be a wife, not a mother. Gu Cheng's social life ability is extremely poor, especially in foreign countries, and he can hardly survive in society without his wife. His wife Xie Ye became his full-time nanny and full-time assistant to some extent.
