Many people think that Shen Congwen, as a literary giant, is brilliant and beautiful, and it is normal to catch up with the goddess. But the actual situation at that time was far from it.
Zhang Zhaohe was born in Hefei, Anhui Province, and was the third among the famous "Hefei Four Sisters" in the Republic of China. Zhang Jia is a famous family in Hefei, with a well-off family background. Zhang Zhaohe's great grandfather, Zhang Shusheng, was an official of the Qing Dynasty. He served as the governor of Liangjiang and Zhili.
On the other hand, Shen Congwen was far from being so famous and didn't have much money. What's more, his highest education is only primary school. Zhang Zhaohe, the goddess he wants to chase, is a female college student with both talents and looks. The status difference between the two men was so great that Shen Congwen succeeded in winning back the beauty. How did he do it?
It all started at 1929, when Shen Congwen was teaching at China Public School. At that time, Shen Congwen had some fame in the literary world. At the invitation of Hu Shizhi, he went to Shanghai Chinese College as a teacher and taught modern literature. But on the first day of class, Shen Congwen screwed up because of stage fright. More importantly, among the students who are listening to the class below, there is Zhang Zhaohe. This is Shen Congwen's first impression of Zhang Zhaohe.
Shortly after teaching, Shen Congwen fell in love with Zhang Zhaohe. Because it is not convenient to express my feelings, I write love letters to Zhang Zhaohe every day. Shen Congwen deserves a literary background, and the level of writing love letters is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people. However, I am not so interested in this Miss Shen. She was going to ignore it, but Shen Congwen's love letters came one after another, and everyone in the school knew it. Unbearable, Zhang Zhaohe went to the headmaster Hu Shi to complain, but he didn't expect Hu Shi to help Shen Congwen completely. He also expressed his willingness to be a matchmaker. Zhang Zhaohe refused on the spot.
In the face of Zhang Zhaohe's indifference, Shen Congwen did not give up, but worked harder to write love letters for several years.
1932, graduated from Zhang Zhaohe University and returned to his hometown of Suzhou. At that time, Shen Congwen was already a lecturer at the National Qingdao University. After learning the news of Zhang Zhaohe's return home, Shen Congwen immediately rushed to Suzhou Zhangjia from Qingdao to continue his stalking and beating tactics. But this time, Shen Congwen gained happiness. It turns out that in recent years, Shen Congwen has written a lot of high-quality love letters, which finally touched Zhang Zhaohe. Let's look at two paragraphs:
"I have crossed bridges in many places, seen clouds many times and drunk many kinds of wine, but I have only loved one person at the right age."
"I was lucky to see you smile again, next to the potted lotus that was blown away by the wind that night. I'm not surprised that there is a fragrance in this smile. It turns out that there is something more refreshing than the smell when you smile! "
Finally, Shen Congwen touched Zhang Zhaohe's heart with his beautiful words. It can be said that this is a love won by a love letter. In addition, what is more commendable is Shen Congwen's perseverance in carrying out love to the end.
