In fact, before Mr. Baishi and Mrs. Hu Baozhu died in childbirth at the age of 83, his life was very simple, which was consistent with his married life. Qi Baishi has only been married twice in his life. The first time I married a child bride was 12 years old and 19 years old. This is his wife Chen Chunjun. Later, at the age of 57, Baishi moved to Beijing for artistic development, and Chen Chunjun stayed in his hometown in Hunan. He couldn't wait. Twenty-three years later, when Baishi was 80 years old, his wife Chen Chunjun died. The following year, Baishi decided to "establish Hu Baozhu as the second wife" and held a "righting ceremony", which was regarded as the second wife of Baishi.
The old man Baishi and his two wives are very loving. In his early years, he had five children with Mrs. Chen Chun. After moving to Beijing, he and Mrs Hu Baozhu had eight children. Hu Shizhi said that the old man gave birth at the age of 78, which meant that Mrs Hu Baozhu's fourth child died at a good age. He thought it was the last child, so he named it Liangmo. Unexpectedly, five years later, Mrs Hu Baozhu was pregnant again. When the old man is 83 years old, it can be seen that he is over 80 years old, and Miss Zhu Bao (42 years old when she died) is still very loving.
The year after Mrs. Zhu Bao's death, the 84-year-old Baishi was lonely and decided to be his second wife. His friend introduced him to Xia, the former head nurse of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The old man was very satisfied and decided to get married, but his children strongly opposed it. The old man had no choice but to negotiate with Xia and stay as a "real nameless" Mrs. Baishi in the name of a nurse. When summer arrives, she will be about forty-four or five years old. She is tall, has a good face and is very educated, which makes her very popular with the elderly.
Qi Lianglian, the daughter of Baishi, who still lives in Taiwan Province Province, described: "... as we expected, she saw that her father liked her and gradually influenced his opinion. Since then, her father's impression of our children's daughter-in-law has gradually changed according to her impressions. She also claimed whether the public would buy the paintings, and she also needed to add 10% to the list of paintings per foot. My father is really obedient to her. Because of my father, we are all embarrassed to say anything. It's just that the family's life has been affected in this way ... "Xia is spoiled and often loses his temper with the old man. She went back to her parents' home after Xia He had a difficult time. The old man asked him to accompany him to Xia's home outside the front door of Beijing to find Xia. Xia's mother answered the door, according to Qi. "Ji Liang looked at the tears flow down immediately. Seven years after Xia entered, in the spring of 195 1, one day, Xia and the old man made a scene and left angrily. The old man didn't care at first, but as time went on, Xia didn't come back.
After Xia left, a fellow villager introduced a woman named Wu Xuan to take her place. According to Zhang Cixi, Wu Xuan was originally from Wujin, Jiangsu, and her father has been working in Hunan. She grew up in Changsha and has a little family relationship with the old man Baishi. Ms. Wu's literature has some origins. He hired her as a secretary with a letter of appointment and gave her an alias, Wu Ying. Is this woman named Wu a simple nurse or just like Xia?
As for getting along with the old man Baishi, we have seen many photos of Mu Xuan accompanying the old man, but the actual situation they get along with is only the 92-year-old old man Baishi recorded in the new memoirs of the famous playwright Wu Zuguang's wife and famous actor. According to the new account, she first met the old man Baishi in July 1952. At this time, it was "his wet nurse, Sister Wu" who followed the old man to take care of his life. New Xia Feng did not introduce her age, appearance, life experience, etc. However, it has been repeatedly mentioned that Sister Wu is accompanying the old man anytime and anywhere.
Moreover, as can be seen from the description of the new Xia Feng, the old man and Wu Dajie get along very well, and Wu Dajie is also quite "presumptuous" in front of the old man. Try to read the following paragraph of the letter: "... the old man Baishi sat down to greet everyone, took my hand and looked at me without blinking." After a while, Sister Wu said to the old man in a reproachful tone,' Why do you always look at others?' The old man was unhappy and said,' I'm so old, why can't I see her? She looks good. When the old man finished, his face turned red with anger. I quickly said,' Look, I'm an actor and I'm not afraid of being seen.' Zuguang also came forward to coax him and said,' Look, look ... everyone in the room laughed ... Then Miao Zi and Yufeng said, "If the teacher likes Xia Feng, please accept her as your adopted daughter!" ! The old man is not angry. "
Since then, there are some legends about the love life of the old man Baishi. According to 197 18 17, Taipei Central Daily published an article written by Ma, the daughter of the famous violinist Ma Sicong, telling the life of the old man Baishi in his later years.
Ma met Qi Baishi with his father in Beijing when he was 93 years old (1952). Ma Duanxue's article said: "This lonely old man was married four times, and his fourth wife died not long ago because she could not accompany him to enjoy a long life. Later someone introduced him to a 44-year-old woman. Too old! Baishi shook his head and said to the introducer. Probably because he is becoming more and more childish, the old man Baishi has long forgotten his old age. Soon, a 22-year-old young actor was found. After the meeting, the old man Baishi liked it very much and was waiting to get married and hold a wedding! "This chronicle of the horse, it sounds ridiculous, but it's incredibly funny. However, judging from her description of Baishi's later life in the article, it is kind and delicate, and the narrative is eloquent, which is by no means like fabrication out of thin air or hearsay.
Based on the above story, the old man Baishi's marriage and love life should be considered very happy during his 95-year long career, except for the last seven or eight years. I have expressed my admiration for the 78-year-old son of the old man, and Mr. Hu would never have thought that the old man Baishi had enjoyed a happy love life of 12 years after he was 78 years old!
