First from talent, loyal to character
Zhao Lisheng, "the most beautiful man in Tsinghua University", fell in love with Gao Zhaoyi, who was an ordinary-looking person in the difficult years of fighting against Japan and saving the nation.
What attracted him was not her face, but her independence, tenacity and knowledge. She has read "Outline of Capital" and has profound thoughts; he is a talented man in Tsinghua University, but he is deeply impressed by her insights.
In the days when I edited tabloids, gave lectures to farmers, and taught revolutionary songs together in the cave, admiration and respect gradually turned into love. He announced the marriage with 20 sesame rollers in a high-profile manner, simple and confident.
Supporting each other in suffering
Marriage life is full of hardships. Zhao Li was seriously ill twice and both were wandering in the gates of hell. During the political movement, he was wrongly classified as a "rightist" and was delegated to reform.
Every time, Gao Zhaoyi takes everything with his thin shoulders. She took care of her husband on the sick bed, raised six children alone, and sent the saved rations to him far away. For the sake of her family, she even gave up her job and future.
In the darkest years, home was his only light, and Gao Zhaoyi was the wick of that lamp.
The final "abuse", the deepest love
In his later years, Gao Zhaoyi suddenly changed his temperament and began to "instruct" the elderly Zhao Li to do this and that, and even lost his temper in front of him.
It was not until her death that Zhao Lisheng realized that all this was her painstaking arrangement. She had a premonition that she would soon be alive, so she used this method to force her husband to learn to take care of herself, trying to make him "hate" herself, thereby alleviating the pain of longing for the future.
This love is deep into the bones and is heartbreaking.
Soul fit is better than skin matching
The story of Zhao Lisheng and Gao Zhaoyi is a powerful rebuttal to "appearance is justice".
Appearance is the stepping stone, and the soul is the divine needle of the sea. True love is an alliance of comrades who can share hardships and hardships, and is an unconditional fulfillment for the other party.
In this era of fast food love rampant, their stories seem particularly precious. It is like a mirror, allowing us to see clearly what love should look like.
It is precisely because of this that it is more precious
Their stories may seem a bit "old-school" today, but because of this, they are more precious. Do you think that in modern society, can you still find such pure and steadfast love?
