She is known as the "Romance Godmother" . Her novels have ignited the hope of love in countless boys and girls; she herself has also been controversial because of her life and love experiences.

It can be said that her life is even more exciting than her novels!

Qiong Yao, formerly known as Chen Zhe, was born in Chengdu, Sichuan in 1938. Her pen name was taken from the Book of Songs: Give me peaches, and give me Qiong Yao in return~

Her father Chen Zhiping is a famous historian, and her mother Yuan Xingshu was born in Gaozhi, Beijing Family is somewhat related to Jin Yong and Xu Zhimo. Qiong Yao is a eldest daughter. She spent her childhood in the war, traveling to Sichuan, Hunan, Shanghai, and Chongqing, and moved to Taiwan in 1949.

Although Qiong Yao is the eldest daughter, Qiong Yao is not very popular at home because compared with her younger siblings, her grades are not outstanding and her personality is not pleasant. Her autobiographical novel "Outside the Window" records her experience of being "unwelcome" at home. Her mother even criticized her daughter for making their differences public to the world after her daughter published a novel and made a movie, causing them to be embarrassed. Family relationships are evident.

In high school, Qiong Yao fell in love with a Chinese teacher who was 25 years older than her. Even now, this matter is very explosive, not to mention that it was Taiwan in the 1950s and 1960s, and Qiong Yao came from such a scholarly family. Therefore, when Qiong Yao's mother found out about this, and because her daughter failed the college entrance examination, the school made a big fuss and reported the matter to the police station and the Education Bureau. In the end, it ended with Teacher Jiang leaving.

Her first love was killed in this way. After losing her lover and failing the college entrance examination for the second time, young Qiong Yao decided to give up further education and make a living by writing. Later, Qiong Yao met the writer Qingyun who often visited her home, and the two fell in love. Soon, Qiong Yao married Qing Yun regardless of her family's objections, and the two had a son after their marriage.

But the good times did not last long. Qiong Yao became famous for "Outside the Window", but Qingyun's career did not improve. The gap between and is gradually widening. Not only that, because "Outside the Window" is Qiong Yao's autobiographical novel, which describes Qiong Yao's unforgettable love, which made her husband Qingyun feel very uncomfortable. The two divorced the year after "Outside the Window" was published.

After the divorce, Qiong Yao met the noble person in her life, the then editor-in-chief of "Crown" magazine Ping Xintao . He admired Qiong Yao's talent so much that he not only signed a contract with her, but also gave her a home near his home. The two went back and forth, and gradually developed from a working relationship and a cooperative relationship into a romantic relationship. At this time, Ping Xintao already had a wife and son. His wife was a well-known painter, who could not only work in the kitchen but also in the living room. Not only does he show off his talent, but he also helps Ping Xintao in his career.

Regarding this relationship, there is no way to determine what is right and wrong. Ping Xintao's wife said that Qiong Yao had a habit of pretending to be weak and seeking sympathy. She bought a new dress and wore it specially for Ping Xintao to see. Qiong Yao said that Ping Xintao and his ex-wife were not suitable at all. In short, the final result was that Ping Xintao divorced his wife who helped him found "Crown" magazine, and married Qiong Yao instead.

The story of Qiong Yao and Ping Xintao is an old story. In recent years, what has been in the news and triggered discussions is the "nasogastric tube incident" . In fact, it is very simple to sum up. Ping Xintao was old and mentally ill, and Qiong Yao believed that there was no point in struggling and it was better to "die naturally". However, Ping Xintao's children believed that their father had not reached that stage yet and insisted on treatment until the end of his life.

At that time, many people criticized Qiong Yao for being "unhuman", but judging from Qiong Yao's final choice to commit suicide, she may really not want to live a qualityless old age.

Actually, I don’t know much about Qiong Yao. I’m ashamed to say that the only original novel she has read in its entirety is “Outside the Window”. Many netizens' impression of Qiong Yao, in addition to those "life-or-death" love, may also include those "ruining three views" lines.

Today, my friend said that it was fortunate that Qiong Yao became famous in that era. If she were put into modern times, she would probably be sprayed to death. I do think that if Qiong Yao had been born thirty or forty years later, her writing style and values ​​might not have been the same. The era creates destiny, and talent is the passport .

Our martial arts master has been gone for many years, and the godmother of romance has also passed away. The process of the characters belonging to our era constantly leaving is probably the process of the end of an era.But that’s okay, a new era is moving on, isn’t it?
