The tragic love story of Yu Youren and his wife! Why did this last wish of his later years come to nothing?

""Bury me in the mountains and look at my mainland. The mainland can't see, only cry! ..... The sky is gray, the wilderness is vast, and Shan Ye is a state-owned ruin. This poem entitled Looking at Hometown was written by calligrapher Yu Youren. It wasn't a poem at first, but Mr. Yu Youren's last words. The hometown that can make the elderly care so much must be more than just "returning to the roots." In fact, an important reason why Yu Youren misses the mainland is that his favorite wife Gao has been staying in the mainland. Gao, a native of Sanyuan, Shaanxi Province, was born in 188 1, two years younger than Yu Youren. 1898, during the Reform Movement of 1898, Gao married Yu Youren. This year she 17, he 19. After marriage, the two * * * raised many children together, and their feelings have been quite harmonious. Gao, who is cheerful, loves her husband deeply. After her husband went to Shanghai and other places, she has been taking care of her husband in her hometown of Sanyuan. During this period, the two have been living a life of gathering less and leaving more, but here, they have been telling each other through letters. Gao is a smart and enterprising woman. During the war, she even tried to cover up her subordinates who had accepted the direct adaptation for her husband. In that special era, Gao did everything she could for Yu Youren. Yu Youren in the hard days ahead, she kept the stability of the rear for him. Not only did she never worry about her family, but she even sewed green shoes, white socks, jackets and underwear for him. Yu Youren works hard in the front, and always sees his wife's difficulties in the rear. He always said to his wife, "soon, soon, when the war is over, our family won't have to be separated all the time." However, what Yu Youren and Gao never expected was that when the war ended at 1949, it was time for the husband and wife to live forever. 1949 in April, Yu Youren was taken to Taiwan Province province, and his wife Gao stayed in the mainland. It is said that shortly after this, Yu Youren went back to Chongqing to meet his wife and daughter, but the wife had already returned to Chengdu from the appointed place because she could not wait for her husband, and the couple missed it. This year, Yu Youren was 7 1 year old and his wife was 69 years old. At this age, it was supposed to be the day when married couples joined hands, but fate separated them. Anyone familiar with that history knows that after that, cross-strait exchanges were not resumed until 1987. Prior to this, although China, Taiwan Province Province and the mainland were separated by a shallow strait, they were always "far-sighted" and had nothing else. After arriving in Taiwan Province Province, Yu Youren, who has no wife, often gets lost and misses. He often sighs in the middle of the night: "I miss them so much!" " Countless sleepless nights, Yu Youren could only touch the cloth shoes and socks that his wife sewed for him, sobbing. In the days when there is no wife and children, Yu Youren feels that time is getting longer and longer. Only on every anniversary related to his wife can he freshen up. Fortunately, in 1956, after all kinds of difficulties, Yu Youren finally got in touch with his relatives through his friend Wu. For the first time, Yu Youren, who had been worried that his wife and daughter had no money to spend, quickly remitted 600 yuan money to Gao and Yu Zhixiu's mother and daughter. From then on, Wu went to Taiwan Province to celebrate Yu Youren's birthday every year, and sent him letters across the Strait. 1958 is the golden wedding year for Yu Youren and his first wife. Yu Youren remembers that when he was young, he once said to his wife, "I will dress you up for the 50th wedding anniversary and take you to xian yangqiao for a photo." But now, the golden wedding anniversary has finally arrived. They are all alive and well, but they can only look at each other because of a strait. After sighing all day, Yu Youren began to write a poem entitled "I miss my wife Gao". In the poem, he wrote sadly: "Two rivers and one mountain meet, and the bleak wind blows off the Xianyang Bridge. The bald couple shed tears for the first night of their golden wedding. The bald couple burst into tears. " When Yu Youren climbed high and looked at the mainland, across the strait, a white-haired old man was also watching Taiwan Province Province. This old man is Gao, Yu Youren's wife. Gao has been thinking about her husband. In recent years, she has often inquired about the news of Taiwan Province Province in various ways. But every time, she waited for disappointment. Looking at her increasingly pale hair, she always shook her head and sighed with tears: "I'm afraid I can't wait, I'm afraid I can't wait." 196 1 this year, Yu Youren's wife was 80 years old. According to the law of "men are tall and women are full", this year should be Gao's birthday. Yu Youren felt very sad at the thought that he couldn't spend his birthday with his wife. He wrote a long letter to Wu's "messenger". In his letter, Yu Youren poured out his thoughts on his wife and expressed his regret that he could not accompany her for her eightieth birthday. Later, Wu was deeply moved by this letter. Later, under the rush of him and Zhang, the news was learned by Premier Zhou. When Premier Zhou got the news, it had been a week since Mrs. Yu Youren's 80th birthday. Fortunately, according to the custom of Shaanxi, it is possible to make up for the longevity, so Premier Zhou immediately said: "Since Shaanxi has this custom, you can make up for your wife's longevity. We can't make Yu Xiansheng unhappy because of this little thing. " . Later, Premier Zhou called Yu Youren's son-in-law Wu Qu and asked him to celebrate the 80th birthday of the old lady in the name of his son-in-law. Under the personal guidance of Premier Zhou, Gao finally had a lively eightieth birthday. When the letters and photos about his wife's birthday were handed to Yu Youren, he read them over and over again, covered his chest with tears and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lian (the pen name of Premier Zhou)! Thank you, Mr. Lian Xi! " Yu Youren's granddaughter learned that her wife had a wonderful 80th birthday, and Yu Youren was very happy. But after seeing his wife's photo, Yu Youren missed his wife more and more, stroking his white-haired wife in the photo. Yu Youren was heartbroken. He wanted to fly across the strait to find his wife. Young couples always have company, but after all, they are young couples. Only the "old" can't see the "companion". One year after his wife's birthday, Yu Youren, who misses his wife, children and relatives in his hometown, has a hunch that his time is running out in loneliness. He wrote his last words at the beginning of the article with grief and depression. After his last words, he wrote two other sentences on two pieces of paper. These two sentences and the beginning of the article can be regarded as Mr. Yu Youren's supplementary last words, which read: "After a hundred years, I would like to be buried in the wooded heights of Yushan or Alishan, and I can always look at the mainland." The highest mountain is the biggest tree. After writing, Yu Youren also drew a circle next to the word "Gao" to emphasize the feeling of looking up at the mainland. Shortly after this, Yu Youren died at 8: 08 pm on June 1964+065438+ 10, at the age of 86. At the time of his death, Yu Youren was alone and had no wife and children ... It is even more regrettable that after Yu Youren's death, he was not buried in Yushan or Alishan overlooking the mainland, but in Balaka Mountain Cemetery in Yangmingshan Scenic Area, Taipei ...
