Such stars and such moons: Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang's unparalleled love

Chapter 1 Prologue

Prologue [-]: True water without fragrance, a hundred years of harmony
This kind of writing is obviously more clumsy and shallow than the love between Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang itself.When the two of them appeared in front of our eyes, they already looked like old people, but no matter how old and tired they were, they also had a radiant youth.One is a talented scholar who is well-known in Tsinghua University, and the other is a talented woman who is full of filial piety and righteousness in poetics. Ever since they passed by each other when they were young, the line of Yuelao has secretly linked the two's steps closely.After getting married, the two respected each other as guests and supported each other on the way of academic study. One was a model of honor and the other was a good assistant. Walking together from suffering.

This book restores the youth and study path of the two old people, and the unremitting love becomes the clue connecting the two people's academic career throughout the book.Love is not about putting the so-called "love" on your lips, but reaching the ideal and end of life together with a gesture of supporting each other.The narration is sometimes calm and sometimes concise, based on the influence and background of their respective works, which makes the relationship between husband and wife more moving.The author must have done a lot of preparatory work, showing the life and love of the scholar couple in detail.

The book traces back the love story between Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang. The two went from Tsinghua University to Oxford University, and then from Oxford University to Paris University. They studied all the way and gave birth to their baby under the nourishment of love.They must have been romantic and moved during their journey in a foreign country.In the midst of civil war, they resolutely chose to return to the country, choosing a life of poverty and single academic creation.Hu Heqing, a researcher of money studies, once praised the two men so much: "Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang are a pair of famous swords in contemporary literature. Qian Zhongshu is like a heroic sword flowing out of the box. Jiang is like a female sword hidden in blue light, great wisdom is like a fool, and does not show the blade." Two sentences, a pair of swords, fully pointed out the status and style of the two scholars in the academic world.The difference in writing style between the two may just be a strong proof of their complementarity and integration.

Qian Zhongshu has a nerdy air about him, and he has the loftiness of a scholar. His intellectual accomplishments must also attract the envy of his surroundings. If he is a dazzling lamp, Yang Jiang will be his lampshade, restraining the brilliance of his talents .She once said that she was his "blocker".In order to gain more time for study in their later years, they closed their doors to thank guests, all of whom were guests of Yang Jiangxie and closed the door.The wind of great hermit, who has almost cut off contact with the outside world, may have an inseparable relationship with their previous injuries.If there was no experience of going to the countryside for labor reform in their later years, their love would have been isolated and naive, but even if they went to the countryside for reform, their romance would still be blooming in the fields. The article conveys what is thought.

After the performance of Yang Jiang's drama "Making True into False", Qian Zhongshu got inspiration from it and planned to write a modern version of "The Scholars". ".The phrase "People in the city want to go out, people outside the city want to come in" is now a famous saying used to describe love and marriage, with a slightly teasing tone, as if absorbing the harshness of British humor, But it did tell the truth.Although the novel was sensational and popular, Qian Zhongshu only wrote one.He and Yang Jiang raised only one child: Qian Yuan.After having children, they formed a three-person world, living together happily, without any estrangement or generation gap between the two generations.When Qian Yuan and Qian Zhongshu passed away one after another, leaving only Yang Jiang alive, she said with emotion in "The Three of Us": We got separated.

The greatest pain in life is nothing more than the death of a loved one, being helpless, and the joys of the past are gone in a blink of an eye.Yang Jiang spends the rest of her life with Qian Zhongshu's manuscripts, edits and sorts out all his handwritten records, and searches for the person he was during his lifetime from the ink marks left behind by him.In a person's loneliness, who said that there is no infiltration of love?This is another kind of companionship and companionship.Qian Zhongshu accompanied Qian Zhongshu day and night before his sick bed, and Yang Jiang took care of the aftermath and sorting out matters after his death. She still kept in her ears the words "live well" that Qian Zhongshu left before his death, so she lived wholeheartedly for the sake of the two. A love that is beyond compare.Even after many years, the auction house discovered the letters of Qian Zhongshu and his friends, she stood up and resisted resolutely.

Qian Zhongshu once described his love with Yang Jiang in this way: "A unique combination of three incompatibles: wife, lover, and friend." One side, but many sides, there are both like-minded ambitions, and lingering and gentle love, and the most important thing is the determination to endure hardships together.Compared with the view of material love that is flying all over the sky on major TV stations today, this kind of simple, simple, and long-lasting love is indeed shocking.

Maybe young people can't understand and feel this kind of true water and fragrance-free love, but they will definitely be able to understand it halfway through life.True water has no fragrance, still water always flows, what a precious love this is!

Prologue [-]: Time·Love·Fleeing Years

With a sharp pen, he wrote about the chaos in the world, but with a gentle heart, he put a smile into her eyes.

She used a gentle love to make half her life happy, but she was accompanied by several years of separation, hiding her thoughts in the passing years.

Whether it is the first meeting that is as sweet as tea, or the deepness of staying together day and night, or the old-fashioned companionship, their emotions are timeless and precious. They are Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang, hand in hand in wind and rain, through A long dream of love that spans the centuries.

Among the various appearances of love, I only love this kind of silence.There is no pledge of eternal love, nothing earth-shattering, just love each other in an ordinary way, through every moment in life, savoring the great wisdom and small sentiments of life.

Today, only one person is left alone in the city of three people, but the warmth and calmness of the past is still undiminished, as if the joyous sound of the past has never passed away.He closed the scroll and sighed softly.where did all the time go.

Preface [-] Love can last forever
The smoke and clouds of the Republic of China, the era is critical, and there is no shortage of lingering and legendary love stories.At that time, this eastern land had just lifted its sleeping eyelids and opened its eyes to the whole world. The longing for freedom and yearning for love, like a flame, burned in every young man's heart.

The sieve of time has left countless memorable love relationships, which are active on the big and small screens, and are also circulated in the conversations after dinner.Counting these past events in detail, there is only one paragraph, which does not seem to be magnificent, but it is the most heart-warming.

One is an elegant and talented scholar who is famous all over the world, and the other is a well-educated lady.They seem to have an agreement in a previous life, not to get entangled, not to make noise, and to ignore the hustle and bustle, but to hold each other's hands quietly and walk to the end of time.

Today, people are still repeatedly chewing on the classic proposition left by the wit: the confusion of the besieged city.But he has already penetrated his own marriage, and traveled thousands of rivers and mountains with his wife.

Some people say that the most touching moment of love is the moment when the fireworks bloom. Even if it is short, it can be remembered for a lifetime.But I think that the most touching thing is to stay together in a lonely world without complaining, cheating or leaving.

The siege is the siege of the heart. If you hold true love in your hand, it doesn't matter whether you go out or come in.The attraction of hormones is only momentary.The fusion of souls lasts forever.

This is the love between Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang. They are best friends, best lovers, best confidants, best relatives, and best couples.They have gone through blooming youth, and also survived war and disease.But there is no perfection in the world, and there are always gaps in life. They failed to go to the end together.

When people pass the age of liking bloody dramas, the more they understand what the true meaning of love is, the more they can understand the calmness in Yang Jiang's heart.We salvage the past in her works, feel the great power in the ordinary, and suddenly understand why love can last forever.

Now, only the heroine is left in the love story. With a calm smile, she crosses the century-old time axis.In the past, the sea was too difficult for water, and there was only Qian Zhongshu in the world who could stand side by side with her.
