Shen Congwen
Shen Congwen and his wife were married in 1933. In 1929, Shen Congwen was hired by Hu Shi to teach in Shanghai. During this period, his student Zhang Zhaohe attracted Shen's attention. Zhang Zhaohe was known as "Black Peony" in the school, and began to become one of Zhang's many wooers. Shen Congwen went through all kinds of hard work and tried his best not to give up, which finally touched Zhang and her family. They married in 1933, and he was married for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, Shen Congwen was not immune to the political campaigns of the 1950s and 1960s. It may be that he is liberal and not controlled by any ideological organization. He became involved in the fling abuses and taunts that made him depressed, and he moved to a nursing home without Zhang Zhaohe. They were separated, just writing to each other. In the 80 s. Shen Congwen passed away. Before he died, he had always wanted to return to his hometown in Western Hunan, because it had always been his spiritual sustenance. It was only when Zhang Zhaohe was sorting out his writings that he realized his lack of understanding of Shen Congwen. It was only in the process of editing and sorting out Shen's manuscripts that he understood the pressure and hardship Shen Congwen had been under.
