During the Republic of China, it became a top university on par with Tsinghua University. In the history of Peking University, there is a legend who is the longest president. When it was seventeen years ago, this person was named Jiang Menglin .

He wanted to stabilize the interior of Peking University, but also to deal with the harassment from Japan and the puppet. It can be said that Jiang Menglin has made contributions to the development of Peking University. However, it is such a talented person who has had a bumpy journey in love.
Jiang Menglin had three marriages in his life. The first was a combination of his parents’ orders and the words of a matchmaker when he was in his hometown. His wife was Sun Yushu, an authentic rural woman who had not read much. After the two got married, they gave birth to three children and one daughter. She took the child to become a housewife and gave her all her youth. Later, Jiang Menglin returned from school and became a young principal. He always felt that his wife was completely unfit for him. He found a woman who truly loved each other with one heart, and became his own happy marriage.
With this idea, he took action. At this moment, a woman broke into his life, and that was his second wife Tao Zenggu. Back then, Jiang Menglin’s good friend Gao Renshan was sentenced. The death penalty left a young and beautiful wife, Tao Zenggu, who was born in the scholarly family. She was also beautiful. After the death of her husband, she had to live alone at home. As a close friend of Gao Renshan, of course, he usually takes care of this friend's widow. He also invited Tao Zenggu, who was alone to guard the vacant room, to serve as his secretary. As the leader, he took great care of her and cared for her. Gradually, the two of them faced each other day and night, and they became secretive. And both fell in love. In the end, despite the persuasion of friends, Jiang Menglin resolutely separated from his hometown's wife Sun Yushu, and the two became married.
Jiang Menglin and Tao Zenggu went hand in hand for a period of time. Until the 1950s, Tao Zenggu died of illness. Jiang Menglin, who lost his beloved wife, was deeply hit, and he was in grief for a long time, and there was no continuation. the meaning of. He has always lived with his children. Because of Jiang Menglin's talent and social prestige, after his wife's death, many matchmakers came to him to talk to him, but Jiang Menglin, who has been young and old, has not been moved. He thought he was going to die like this, but since he met a woman 22 years younger than him at the banquet, he seemed to have returned to his passionate years, and he wanted to marry her like a demon. The woman's name is Xu Xianle.
Xu Xianle was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu. Great-grandfather Xu Shou was a famous scientist in the late Qing Dynasty. Father Xu Jiabao was employed as the chief instructor and instructor of Hubei Lianghu Academy and Jingxin Academy during Zhang Zhidong’s supervision of the two lakes, and was promoted by Jianghan Academy (concurrently lectured on astronomy, geography, art of war, and arithmetic); in the early years of the Republic of China, he was appointed as the general office of Guangdong Shijing Machinery Bureau. Technician of the Ministry of War of the Beiyang Government. Xu Jiabao has five sons and four daughters, and Xu Xianle is the only daughter who is very much loved at home.
Xu Xianle looks handsome and handsome, and he was a magnificent figure in his early years. Xu Xianle later recalled to reporters who interviewed her that in school, there were countless male classmates who pursued him. She worked in the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs" and she was a "Ministry Flower", and when she worked in the "Central Trust Bureau", she was a "Juhua". There have always been many suitors. After Xu Xianle graduated from university, her first real relationship was with a young man named Shen Daoming. The two struggled for a long time and eventually ended up breaking up. The reason was Xu Xianle felt that Shen Daoming had insufficient financial resources.
Subsequently, Xu Xianle met another Lieutenant General Yang Jie, who was not an ordinary figure, and was known as a leading figure in the national army. He successively served as Chief of Staff of Chiang, Chief of Education of Army University and stationed in the Soviet Union. ambassador. At that time, Xu Xianle thought that Yang Jie was the officer who called for the rain, and happily ran to Chongqing to marry Yang Jie. After the marriage, Xu Xianle soon discovered that Yang Jie was just vain, his glorious skin had already been emptied, and there was not much money to spend. Only 7 months after their marriage, the two separated because of financial problems and ended in divorce.
When Xu Xianle met Jiang Menglin, although she was more than half a hundred years old, she still had her charm. In addition, after she was famous, regardless of family background or appearance, Jiang Menglin's gaze was immediately powerless to move away from him. The principal of Peking University, who was more than ancient, fell in love with this beautiful woman at first sight. In the first love letter he gave to Xu Xianle, he couldn’t help but praise deeply: "Of the ladies I have met, you are the most touching. People..."
Jiang Menglin and Xu Xianle met in just a few months, and they came to the point where they were indifferent and expressed their desire to get married. After the successful proposal, Jiang Menglin and Xu Xianle decided to flash marriage. However, after Jiang Menglin's friends learned of the news, they all jumped out to oppose Jiang Menglin and Xu Xian's combination. His friend Hu Shi even beat the mandarin ducks and wrote him a letter of exhortation exposing Xu Xianle's various past events, and other friends even broke up with them and opposed them.
Jiang Menglin couldn't hear these words at all, so he just threw himself on Xu Xianle. For a period of time after marriage, the two lived happily, Xu Xianle did not do anything excessive, Jiang Menglin still believed that he did not marry the wrong person. However, because Jiang Menglin accidentally injured his foot and was hospitalized, Xu Xianle, as his wife, should have taken care of her, but she showed great indifference, and Jiang Menglin’s physical condition required him to be transferred to the small ward. The big ward was too expensive, so he took advantage of Jiang’s hospitalization and transferred Jiang’s passbook, stocks, and land to his own name. Jiang Menglin was discharged from the hospital after recovering from injury, and has disappeared.
At this time, Jiang Menglin thoroughly saw the true face of Xu Xianle, he thumped his chest and feet, regretted that he had decided to divorce Xu Xianle. But asking God is easy and difficult. When he proposed to divorce Xu Xianle, Xu Xianle immediately fought back. She held a press conference in the name of Mrs. Jiang Menglin, took out the love poems and love letters that Jiang Menglin wrote to her back then, and said in tears that Jiang Menglin would divorce herself after being confused by friends, and exposed Jiang Menglin's private life.
In this divorce storm, Jiang Menglin not only suffered great damage to his reputation, his fame was ruined, but he also suffered great physical and psychological damage. This divorce dispute lasted for a whole year, and finally settled after mediation-Jiang Xu and the two agreed to divorce. Jiang Menglin paid Xu Xianle alimony of 500,000 yuan. Jiang Menglin not only lost his pension money, but also because of his heart. Jiang Menglin passed away shortly after the divorce, and a generation of educators died alive. Xu Xianle got the money and continued to be at ease. He lived until 2006 and died of illness at the age of 98. .
