The most virtuous wife, the most talented woman: the biography of Yang Jiang

Chapter 30 Postscript

We all respect her as Mr. Yang Jiang. Calling women as Mr. began after the May [-]th Movement. At that time, the whole society advocated equality between men and women. Some outstanding women were honored as "Mr." "Sir" is not an exaggeration.

Every year on July [-]th, more and more people pay attention to this centenarian. In this impetuous society, people miss the simple beauty more and more.In her later years, Mr. Yang Jiang gave people a feeling of elegance and erudition. She also had many identities in her life. She was a writer, a translator, a daughter, and a mother. Her most proud title is Qian Zhongshu's lady.Yang Jiang without Qian Zhongshu is incomplete, and Qian Zhongshu without Yang Jiang is not Qian Zhongshu.

As time went by, life faded away from its original splendor, and gradually showed its original appearance. She was no longer the Miss Suzhou who didn't know how to live, and he was no longer the handsome young man who recited poems and composed poems in front of Gu Yuetang.A talented scholar from a scholarly family and a beautiful woman from a famous family joined hands to form a family.Xia Zhiqing, a well-known Chinese literary theorist, once praised that throughout the [-]th century, there was no other happy couple in the Chinese literary world who were as talented and exquisite as the two of them, and who shared the same reputation in their later years.

Time has polished this world, and life will eventually lose its youth and reveal its true face in the end.Suffering and illness have changed a lot and taken away a lot. What remains is the "strength of character" belonging to Mr. Yang Jiang, a spirit that supports her to do the last task Qian Zhongshu left her.

She always said that she is a ○, ○ is the starting point of everything and the end of the same kind. She only hopes that she is the most authentic person at the beginning, so that she can save those flashy things and do what she likes from scratch.

For a hundred years, with the flick of a finger, the years are gone, but it is hard to hide its beauty.Mr. Yang Jiang, who is over a hundred years old, still insists on reading and writing, commemorating the deceased relatives in her usual way, and "living well" for them.

Mr. Yang Jiang continued her usual low-key style when it came to publishing her own biography.She said: "I am not worthy of a biographer's biography, but I can't stop others from writing my biography. If someone who doesn't know each other wants to write my biography, even if they don't know anything about my life, as long as If I gather enough information, I can find a publishing house, and the book can be published. However, there are not many people who write my biography."
Life is like an adventure, and marriage is also like a journey full of excitement. I don't know whether what is waiting for me in front of me is consistent with what I expect day and night.Centenarians have seen how many ebbs and flows and personnel changes. Perhaps a centenarian is on the verge of life. I don’t know how many steps are left in front of me, but I am preparing for that step every day.Mr. Yang Jiang has said a lot of meaningful words in his hundred years of life. "If you want to train a person to be able to do great things, you must let him endure hardships and hardships, and he will be unsatisfactory, so that he can develop a character of perseverance. After a person undergoes different degrees of training, he will obtain different degrees of self-cultivation and different degrees of benefits. For example Spices, the more crushed they are, the finer they are ground, the more intense the fragrance." Mr. Yang Jiang has also been tempered in this way in his life. Although he was "unsatisfactory", he learned perseverance and learned to "survive silently" for the sake of silent existence. .
