There is a Chinese who graduated from the American Military Academy at West Point. After his death, West Point had a comment about him - "West Point is proud of you!" ”
In the seventh year of the Republic of China (1918), among the 137 students of the same grade who graduated from the West Point Military Academy, Wang Geng ranked 12th. If you apply the practice of the Japanese Army University, according to this ratio, you can enter the saber group. Academically, Mr. Wang is undoubtedly very good.
Wang Geng is not as many people think, he can only talk on paper. In fact, after he returned to China, he was appointed chief of staff by Sun Chuanfang, who had led troops and fought in battles, and could be called a military cadre with both theoretical and practical experience.
One of his specialties was commanding artillery. This was also a relatively "technical" branch of the army at that time, and American turtles like Wang Geng could just come in handy. In the Battle of Songhu, he repeatedly commanded the artillery of the 19th Route Army to shoot.
What is rare is that Wang Geng can still be literate and martial. In addition to fighting, his literary style was also very good, and he had a good relationship with many great literati at that time, such as Hu Shi and others.
Before joining the Tax Police Corps, Wang Geng was introduced to Harbin to seek a job. The husband and wife lived separately, and he was afraid that his wife would be lonely, so he asked one of his brothers to take care of her—comrades, you must remember that everything in this world can be entrusted to your brother, but your wife can't be trusted. A lesson from history.
Wang Geng suffered this loss, and his wife was really entrusted out.
This entrusted brother is a poet writer, and he studied and read abroad, and for him, it is commonplace for emotions to break through reason, and he can't stop it if he wants to. As soon as his brain was hot, he didn't care about any "friend's wife, don't play", Wang Geng's front foot just "walked gently", and his hind foot immediately "came gently", and after coming and going, he actually got along with Wang Geng's wife.
Speaking of which, you've probably got the idea. The poet I am talking about is Xu Zhimo, the author of "Farewell Kangqiao", and Wang Geng's ex-wife is Lu Xiaoman, who is also very famous.
Xu Shi is talented, has high emotional intelligence, and has his own unique understanding of many old sayings. For example, this sentence: Brothers are like siblings, and women are like clothes. He probably understood it this way: there are many people on the streets who are missing arms and legs, and it is rare to see people who go out on the streets without clothes.
In Huang Lei's version of "April Day in the World", after Wang Geng learned that his wife and Xu Zhimo had a leg, his reaction was to be angry, threatening and intimidating the two, so he almost pulled out his gun and broke the two.
In fact, this is to imagine and describe Wang Geng with the attitude of ordinary Chinese men.
People who study abroad have what kind of education they have. For example, if you graduate from the Japanese non-commissioned officer department, you must ask your wife to have three obedience and four virtues, and as for how many wives you marry and how many concubines you take, that's another matter. Studying in the United States, what I am exposed to is freedom, equality, and monogamy, and I am more open to many things.
In this regard, Wang Geng is a typical example. After learning that Xu Shiren had cuckolded himself, he did not go into a rage, but handled the matter in an American way. After specifically understanding the true wishes and thoughts of Xu Lu and the others, he chose to divorce Lu Xiaoman in order to fulfill the other party. Before leaving, he also left Xu Zhimo a sentence: "Please treat Xiaoman well, if you are sorry for her, I will not spare you." ”
When Xu Lu got married, he sent him a wedding card. Although Wang Geng did not attend the wedding banquet (of course he would not go), he still gave a congratulatory gift very gentlemanly.
Public opinion in the market is full of emotion about this: Wang Geng let his wife, his bearing is extraordinary, Shima marries his wife, and Wen De'an is here?
I have always admired people who are upright and open-minded. Wang Geng counts as one.
