On a rainy day, middle-aged Wang Chutong held an umbrella alone and walked on the wet street.At a hawker stall on the corner of the street, a dazzling array of accessories caught his eye.He paused for a moment and his eyes fell on a hairpin set with red beans.
That little red bean is like a door that travels through time and space, bringing Wang Chutong's thoughts back to the distant past.
Young Wang Chutong grew up with his neighbor Liu Niang, and they were childhood sweethearts.One day, he found a red bean in the kitchen and hatched a plan. He hurried to the next door to surprise Liu Niang.Liu Niang took the red beans with great expectation, and Wang Chutong told her that these were not ordinary red beans, but the red beans written in Wang Wei's poem that carried deep lovesickness.He recited the poem - Lovesickness -: “ Red beans grow in the south, and a few branches will grow when spring comes; I hope you will pick more of them, as this is the most lovesick thing.”However, the last sentence "This thing is the most lovesick" was choked in his throat and he could never say it out.
Time flies by like a blink of an eye, and both of them have grown up in the blink of an eye.Liu Niang grew up tall and graceful and became the focus of everyone's attention.And Wang Chutong, although full of knowledge, was still a poor scholar.Although the two are in love, the gap in identity is like an insurmountable gap.
In order to prove himself, Wang Chutong studied hard, hoping that one day he would be able to get on the gold medal list and marry his beloved Liu Niang.Liu Niang, on the other hand, was looking forward to meeting Wang Chutong again day and night.However, fate often does not go as expected.
Under the arrangement of her family, Liu Niang is about to marry a man who is the right match for her.When Wang Chutong learned the news, his heart was as sharp as a knife.He hurried to Liu Niang's house and wanted to see Liu Niang, but his cowardice and inferiority prevented him from knocking on the door.Liu Niang, on the other hand, was actually behind the door, crying silently.
Before getting married, Liu Niang was embroidering a handkerchief with red bean trees and flying butterflies on it.However, because she was absent-mindedly missing Wang Chutong, she accidentally pricked her finger with the tip of a needle.A drop of blood fell on the handkerchief, soaking it together with Liu Niang's tears.She looked at the cut red thread, her heart filled with helplessness and sadness.She knew that from now on, the fate between her and Wang Chutong was over.
Liu Niang's wedding was grand and lively, and the whole city knew about it.However, as a bride, she burst into tears in the sedan chair.And Wang Chutong also failed to marry Liu Niang as he wished.He took the handkerchief Liu Niang had embroidered for him and set out on the road to the capital.The red beans and blood on the handkerchief became the deepest lovesickness and regret in his heart.
Four hundred years ago, in the ancient city of Jiading, the snow had not melted and the wind was biting.But at the end of this deep winter, spring brings a warm breath.Firecrackers sounded in every corner of the village, children were playing in front of their homes, and adults were busy replacing old talismans with new ones to welcome the new year.It was the first day of the Lunar New Year after the 30th. Early in the morning, Tang Shisheng, a famous scholar in Jiading, was sitting at home, while students from far and near rushed to Tang's house one after another to pay New Year's greetings to their teacher.The old man didn't care about the richness or poverty of his visitors, so he only used the vegetables he grew at home to make New Year soup, allowing them to taste the simplest taste.
On a snowy day, four children were playing at home and accidentally discovered a worn-out cotton-padded jacket in the utility room.The appearance of this cotton-padded jacket evoked deep memories of the children's father, Wang Mingsheng.
When Wang Mingsheng was a child, his family was poor and his clothes were always shabby, which made him the object of ridicule among his friends.But Wang Mingsheng always endured it silently and never let his mother worry.
His mother knew very well how difficult it was for her son. Although she had no words, her heart was filled with distress.On the eve of Wang Mingsheng's first boy test, his mother knitted silently all night and made a new cotton-padded jacket for him.
In the early morning, Wang Mingsheng saw the new clothes on the bedside, and his heart was full of surprise and emotion.He noticed his mother's tired face and hands that were red from the cold, and instantly understood his mother's sacrifice.
Wang Mingsheng, wearing a new cotton-padded jacket, walked into the examination room with confidence.In the end, with his own efforts, he passed the boy examination and began his official career.
This cotton-padded jacket witnessed Wang Mingsheng’s growth and the greatness of maternal love.Although Wang Mingsheng later became a powerful man, he always treasured this cotton-padded jacket to remind himself not to forget his original intention and to be grateful to his mother.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the ancient streets were brightly lit, but Lou Jian was wandering alone on the streets, filled with frustration.After failing in the imperial examination last year, he has been unable to let go.It wasn't until I met my friend Tang Shisheng by chance by the river that I was invited to take a boat ride to admire the moon together.
As the night fell, talented people and beauties gathered together on the boat, reciting poems and composing poems, laughing and chatting constantly.However, Lou Jian found it difficult to integrate into this joyful atmosphere. His mood was like fallen leaves blown away by the autumn wind, drifting and helpless.
At this time, a considerate woman noticed something strange about Lou Jian. She used Lu Mengzheng's story as a metaphor and told him that failure is the mother of success and that one needs to experience setbacks in life to grow.Under the guidance of the woman, Lou Jian gradually walked out of the gloom and regained his confidence.
The lanterns on the river swayed in the night, like stars, illuminating Lou Jian's heart.He looked at the beautiful scenery and felt a warm current in his heart.He understands that although the road of life is tortuous, as long as he maintains a positive attitude, he will be able to overcome difficulties and embrace a bright future.
On the far side of the ocean, the moonlight shone, reflecting the pensive figure of an old man.This old man is Gu Weijun, from Jiading County, Taicang Prefecture, Jiangsu Province (now Jiading District, Shanghai).His father, Gu Qingchuan, served as the first president of the Bank of Communications in the late Qing Dynasty and participated in the negotiation of the Boxer Indemnity.Gu Weijun was not only a famous diplomat in modern China, but also an important political figure. He served as the 13th head of state of the Beiyang Government.
Historian Tang Degang once commented that China has had very few outstanding diplomats in the past hundred years. Among them, Li Hongzhang and Zhou Enlai are undoubtedly the two most dazzling stars. Gu Weijun is known as this outstanding diplomat with his outstanding diplomatic skills and talent.% half a star after two stars.
Gu Weijun’s academic path is also full of legends.In 1905, at the age of 17, he was admitted to Columbia University, specializing in international law and diplomacy.He showed amazing academic talent and completed his bachelor's and master's degrees in just two years, which was a miracle at the time.After graduation, he continued his studies and obtained a doctorate at the age of 24. This achievement impressed the president of Columbia University and called him the most talented student in the history of this university.
After the September 18th Incident, Gu Weijun embarked on a journey to the Northeast, and the train slowly entered Harbin Station.
As soon as he entered Harbin, Gu Weijun noticed the tense atmosphere here.With his keen insight, he gradually discovered that the Japanese Kwantung Army colluded with local traitors and served as officials at all levels. They did not hesitate to falsify public opinion and claim that the people in the Northeast supported the establishment of Manchukuo, trying to mislead world public opinion and cover up Japanese manipulation.The truth about the regime.
In order to prevent Gu Weijun from exposing this conspiracy, the Japanese took extreme measures.They secretly planted a bomb in an attempt to kill Gu Weijun.Fortunately, Gu Weijun's entourage responded quickly and took him away from the explosion site in time.
Seeing that the assassination failed, the Japanese adopted more direct methods.They quickly sent people to kidnap Gu Weijun in front of them, trying to make him surrender through threats and intimidation.However, Gu Weijun remained calm and calm when facing the Japanese threat. He skillfully dealt with the Japanese provocation, showing the grace and wisdom of a diplomat.
Witnessed by representatives of the League of Nations, the Japanese no longer dared to attack Gu Weijun blatantly.That night, Gu Weijun received a secret letter.This secret letter was sent by a civilian force secretly organized by an anti-Japanese general who risked his life. They made huge sacrifices in the process of delivering this secret letter.
This secret letter became key evidence revealing the truth about Japan's aggression.Gu Weijun knew that the flame of resistance burned in the hearts of every Chinese. Although they endured humiliation and heavy burdens, they never gave up their pursuit of freedom and dignity.
In the end, Gu Weijun relied on this secret letter and other collected evidence to successfully reveal the hypocrisy and shamelessness of the Japanese in front of the whole world.His efforts prompted the United Nations to recognize Japan's aggression and won support from the international community for China's anti-war cause.
