During the Republic of China, although new trends of thought emerged endlessly, there are still many traces of the feudal period. Therefore, even if the gifted and beautiful women of the era pursued freedom, they could not escape certain constraints.
In that era, arranged marriages were still very common, and many literati in had such experiences. In addition to literati, there is also a principal of Peking University who also faces this situation.
Jiang Menglin is the longest-term president of Peking University. He has been hosting at Peking University for 17 years. He is a very smart, capable and knowledgeable person. During 's tenure at Peking University, he has been contributing to the development and construction of Peking University. But good luck tricks people, the final result is not very good. In his later years, he was expelled from Peking University.
The principal of Peking University under an arranged marriage abandoned his wife and married his brother’s widow. In his later years, he spent 500,000 in divorce.
Jiang Menglin had a wife named Sun Yushu. The marriage of the two at that time was also the result of the arranged marriage of in that era. Sun Yushu is a typical woman with traditional thinking. She is very virtuous and not afraid of hardship, but she has never read a book.
So there is a certain contradiction between two people, because two people's thoughts are always not at the same height, communication will become difficult, so tragedy is inevitable.
So Jiang Menglin abandoned his wife and gave him most of the family's inheritance. The two also have three sons and one daughter, and her father is also taken care of by her.
At that time, Jiang Menglin had a friend named Gao Renshan, but because of an accident, Gao Renshan was unfortunately killed. Gao Renshan has a very beautiful wife, Tao Zenggu, who is in a particularly bleak situation. In order to take care of her, Jiang Menglin hired her as secretary when he became the first Minister of Education of the National Government.
As the two get along slowly, it is inevitable that they will be in love with each other over time. They slowly fell in love, even divorcing their wives, and resolutely married Tao Zenggu.
At that time, Jiang Menglin even explained to his relatives and friends that he was doing his duty as a friend, and the rhetoric at the time became a laughing stock of others.
At that time, Jiang Menglin didn't care. In order to calm the matter down, he invited his old friend Hu Shi as the master of marriage. However, Hu Shi's wife Jiang Dongxiu is a household name "Shrew" , she can not understand Jiang Menglin's style. locked Hu Shi in the room, but finally jumped out of the window.
However, the marriage of is not very smooth. After 's marriage, Tao Zenggu's life was very luxurious, and sometimes even interfered with Jiang Menglin's career. Tao Zenggu even organized female students to dance with American officers at the war-torn Southwest United University.

In the 13 years since leaving school, his wife Tao Zenggu passed away due to physical reasons. But at this time, Jiang Menglin met Xu Xianle , who was more than 20 years younger than himself, which also made Jiang Menglin's life have changed drastically.
Since Jiang Menglin met Xu Xianle, he fell in love with her at first sight and pursued her wildly. After a while, the two of them walked into the marriage hall, this time, Hu Shi was a little dissatisfied.
because in Hu Shi’s opinion, Xu XianLe’s intentions towards Jiang Menglin are the same as Xu Xianle’s ex-husband and ex-boyfriend. They are all under the guise of love and want to cheat money.
But Jiang Menglin was already unable to extricate himself. Despite the opposition of other relatives and friends, the 75-year-old still insisted on marrying 52-year-old Xu Xianle. Of course, as expected , Xu Xianle after marriage really has the power of the economy.
And once Jiang Menglin accidentally fell and was injured, Xu Xianle unexpectedly began to transfer property, and defrauded money everywhere in the name of her husband, not only failed to take care of the injured husband, but also deducted money from medical expenses.
Later, Jiang Menglin finally woke up and asked Xu Xianle to return 530,000 yuan. Xu Xianle is naturally not satisfied. He also showed that he was deceived by Jiang Menglin's friends. The two of them still had feelings, but Jiang Menglin saw her face clearly and chose to file for divorce. During the period, Xu Xianle also looked for a chance to see Jiang Menglin, but he avoided him.
quarreled for more than a year, and finally settled with friends. In 1964, the two-year marriage finally ended, and Jiang Menglin finally paid 500,000 alimony.
Divorced about half a year, Jiang Menglin was also exhausted, and finally died of illness. At this time, only Jiang Yanhua, the daughter of Sun Yuan, stayed with him.
