"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely" is Tao Yuanming's poem. Speaking of Tao Yuanming, everyone should think that Tao Yuanming is a poet who lives in seclusion in the mountains. Yes, Tao Yuanming lived in seclusion in the mountains to escape the secular world, but in ancient times, not only Tao Yuanming lived in seclusion, but also Bo Yi, Meng Haoran and others. They don't want to be bound by fame and fortune, so they live.

People who live in seclusion in the mountains not only exist in ancient times, but also in modern times. Today, we talk about Peking University's teacher Wang Qingsong and his wife Zhang Mei. The couple are both knowledgeable and talented people. They lived in seclusion in the mountains 10 years and spent all their savings of 3.5 million yuan. How are they now? Let's have a look.

Wang Qingsong and Zhang Mei decided to live in seclusion in the mountains 1998. As recorded in Peach Blossom Garden, the couple lived in seclusion.

So why do they live in seclusion in the mountains? Like the ancient poet Tao Yuanming, do you want to escape from the shackles of the secular and stay away from fame and fortune? Yes, the couple also went to live in seclusion in the mountains because their careers and studies were not smooth at that time.

After graduating from Peking University, Wang Qingsong stayed in Peking University to continue teaching. In an activity, Wang Qingsong met Zhang Mei, and Zhang Mei was Peking University's teacher. Soon, they were together and married.

Wang Qingsong is a headmaster with a strong memory. He can remember ancient Chinese by reciting it once, and he can remember 500 telephone numbers in one day. Isn't it amazing? However, when Wang Qingsong applied for Mr. Tang's course in Yi Jie, he was rejected. The following year, Wang Qingsong took the doctor of law exam with excellent results, but he was still rejected. These two failures gradually gave Wang Qingsong the idea of seclusion.

"It never rains but it pours". His wife, Zhang Mei, was also brushed off by the school when she applied for professional title evaluation, which made them both have the idea of seclusion and want to escape from this society.

1998, the couple both resigned and went to a village in Zhang Mei's father's hometown, where they lived in seclusion.

The resignation of two gifted scholars from Peking University to go to the mountains has attracted people's discussion, but this has not affected the couple's idea of going to the mountains at all. They contracted a barren hill in the countryside, cultivated their own fields and vegetables, and were self-sufficient.

They live a life far away from the outside world, without electricity and internet, only candles and a radio. Year after year, their children were born. They educate their children by themselves and let them recite books such as The Amethyst. But by the time the children were 7 years old, that is, the tenth year of seclusion in the mountains, they had no money. At the same time, for their education, they decided to return to society.

After returning to society, Wang Qingsong wanted to write a book about his feelings of seclusion in the mountains, hoping to win the Nobel Prize, but it didn't seem to be so successful, and the Nobel Prize didn't have his name. Two people fled the society and went to the mountains, but because they failed in an exam and failed in a professional title, they should face it positively anyway and avoid solving the problem.
