The story of Xu Zhimo:
1925, Zhimo met Beijing beauty Lu Xiaoman. At that time, Lu Xiaoman was Wang Geng's wife and he was a friend of Zhimo. The wedding was hosted by Xiaoman's parents. Xiao Man and Wang Geng are incompatible, and they have no feelings.
Because of his busy work, Wang Geng often has no time to take care of Xiaoman, so he often lets Zhimo play with Xiaoman. At the beginning, Zhimo only accompanied Xiaoman as a friend, and there was nothing wrong with it. He often studies poetry and literature with Xiaoman and travels together.
At that time, Zhimo was in the pain of lovelorn and urgently needed the nourishment of love. Xiaoman's talent attracted Zhimo, and he found comfort in Xiaoman. Little people and Wang Geng don't have any feelings, they also need love. In this way, the doomed love mandarin ducks met and their feelings vanished.
Shima and Xiaoman, one is a married woman and the other is a married man. Their parents and friends strongly oppose their association. However, they are desperate to find their own love.
1925, Zhimo traveled to Europe. On his second trip to Europe, he wanted to visit Tagore, a famous writer, but he received the news that Xiaoman was dying on the way. He immediately returned to China. It turned out that Wang Geng decided to move to Shanghai, and he asked Xiaoman to accompany him.
Xiaoman doesn't want to. Shanghai is heavily guarded, so it will be more difficult to see Zhimo in the future than to ascend to heaven. She had to pretend to be ill to buy time. After Shima returned to China, Xiaoman could not help but move to Shanghai under the threat of his parents. Shima arrived later.
When he was in Shanghai, with the help of his friends in Shima, Wang Geng promised to divorce Xiaoman and release Xiaoman again. Since then, the relationship between Xiaoman and Zhimo has developed by leaps and bounds, and they got married 1926.
After marriage, with Xiaoman's support, Zhimo's poetry output increased sharply, and he published poetry collections such as Selected Poems of Zhimo, A Night of Cold Jade and Tiger. They often talk about literature together in the evening. They live a happy life.
However, the good times did not last long. Soon, Xiaoman returned to her former luxury style. She spends too much money and even smokes opium. Although Zhimo is a professor at two universities, his income is not thin, and the demand is still in short supply. To this end, Zhimo ran around and his poems dried up.
193 1 year, Zhimo died in a flight, and Xiaoman realized his mistake. She decided to turn over a new leaf and give up opium. She began to write articles and translate foreign classics. 1April, 965, Xiaoman died of illness.
