Foreword: The Republic of China is a legendary era, with heroes and heroes as well as literati. These literati are not only very high in literary attainments, but also have full personalities. Some of them are noble, some are melancholy, some are dedicated, and some are also sentimental. Among them is such a figure, his name is Jiang Menglin, in the education field, he is the principal of Peking University with the longest time. In the gossip circle, his three marriages are regarded as a joke. Why is the contrast so great?
is clever and studious, and sits on the top of education.
Jiang Menglin was born in Zhejiang in 1886, his original name is Jiang Mengxiong, because when he was born, his father dreamed of a bear breaking into the house, and his father thought this was a good sign , So he named him Mengxiong. Jiang Mengxiong was born in a landlord family. Jiang Mengxiong, who was a good family member, entered a private school at the age of 6, and later studied at the Shaoxing Central School where Cai Yuanpei was "supervised". It was during this time that Jiang Mengxiong was exposed to new ideas and participated in the student movement. He was blacklisted and had to change his name to Jiang Menglin.
In the summer of 1908, Jiang Menglin went to the United States to study alone. On the westward cruise, he cut off his braids and said goodbye to his past self. Jiang Menglin chose agronomy at first, hoping to build a country based on agriculture, but when he arrived in the United States, he changed his mind. The whole nation must start with education to save the people. So he abandoned agriculture and started teaching in the United States for ten years, specializing in education and obtained a doctorate. During his stay in the United States, he also met a noble man- Sun Yat-sen .
Jiang Menglin, who obtained a doctorate degree, was reused shortly after returning to China. At the invitation of Cai Yuanpei, he became the acting principal of Peking University, and he has been in charge of Peking University for 24 years. This record has not been broken so far. With the efforts of Jiang Menglin, Peking University is proud to be the top university in the country of residence. Since then, he has served as the Minister of Education of the National Government, and his life has reached the peak.
The republic of China was a period of collision between new ideas and old ideas. Jiang Menglin also experienced this collision. Before Jiang Menglin went abroad, his parents arranged a marriage for him and married a rural wife named Sun Yushu. Sun Yushu has no culture, so naturally he can't resonate in thought with this romantic talent. But the parents' orders cannot be violated, and Sun Yushu still reluctantly accepted this marriage. After returning from the United States, Jiang Menglin took Sun Yushu to Beijing to live with.
After marriage, the two had two sons and two daughters. Sun Yushu was hardworking and thrifty, and worked hard, but still did not keep Jiang Menglin's heart. Jiang Menglin, who could not tolerate arranged marriages, offered for divorce and distributed most of the family wealth to Sun Yushu, paid child support, and left Jiang Menglin to live at home, that is, not leaving home for divorce.
second marriage, like a dream
If Jiang Menglin does not have a second marriage, then his care for Sun Yushu can be regarded as a conscientious ex-husband, but in fact, Jiang Menglin has already cheated in the marriage, and the target of the cheating is one A woman named Tao Zenggu, this woman has another identity, she is a good friend of Jiang Menglin and the widow of Gao Renshan. Friends’ wives should not be deceived. It is said that Jiang Menglin, a cultural person, should understand. However, the fact is that during his tenure as Minister of Education, he and his secretary Tao Zenggu developed feelings. At the wedding held by the two, he told a crowd of guests and friends that he married Tao Zenggu because he loves brother Gao. If he loves brother Gao, he should love the person he loves more. This is also doing his duty to the dead brother. There was a round of applause during the banquet, whether it was congratulations or sarcasm. After the marriage, Tao Zenggu was restless. She often led Peking University students to dance parties. She was criticized by the literary circle. Jiang Menglin was not spared by the storm and resigned from the post of Peking University president. But Jiang Menglin did, as he said, taking good care of his old friend's widow and his second wife Tao Zenggu. In 1958, when Tao Zenggu passed away, Jiang Menglin was so sad that he could no longer love.
In the third marriage, the man and the wealth were empty
Jiang Menglin, who thought he would never love again, found his true love two years later. At a banquet held in Taiwan, 74-year-old Jiang Menglin met 53-year-old Xu Xianle. Xu Xianle, milfs, was the school flower of Guanghua University back then, talkingElegant, generous and decent. When met Xu Xianle for the first time, Jiang Menglin fell into a quagmire of emotions, and completely ignored Xu Xianle's previous marriages, and often wrote love letters to Xu Xianle, calling him "the most beloved woman."
Jiang Menglin is indeed a veteran in love, and in just two months, he embraced the beauty and held a wedding with Xu Xianle. Longing for a happy old age, Jiang Menglin discovered after marriage that he had fallen into a boundless nightmare. Xu Xianle removed the mask of disguise, firmly grasped the economic power, transferred Jiang Menglin's property, and even refused to feed Jiang Menglin, revealing the nature of the scumbag. 77-year-old Jiang Menglin was unbearable to abuse and chose to divorce, and he also paid 500,000 alimony. The frustrated Jiang Menglin passed away two months after the divorce, which is embarrassing.
Every pair of lovers want to hold each other's hands to the end, the first meeting, the end goodbye, who would not want a forever.
