Subtitle of this chapter: Marriage is risky, and it is prudent to marry a wife.

"Who are these two?"

Our Master Yuan had actually recognized these two guests, but of course he couldn't name them.

Mr. Theodore Dresser said, "Let me introduce you. ”

He pointed to the middle-aged man who was a little older and had a more vicissitudes in his face and said, "Mr. Thomas Stearns Eliot." ”

Born in 1888, the great poet who was Chinese New Year's Eve two years old stepped forward and said, "Hello, Mr. Yuan. I love your chocolates. ”

Yuan Yanqian responded very enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. Eliot. I also like your book of poems. I happen to have some questions about poetry that I would like to ask you for, and I hope you will give me some advice. ”

The other party raised his eyebrows and asked with great interest, "Oh, does Mr. Yuan also compose poems?" ”

What does it mean to write poetry "too"? If Lao Tzu hadn't seen you speak for me, and it was too troublesome to be a leading figure in the poetry world, I would have written your wasteland book a long time ago.

"Of course, I have always been very interested in poetry, and I have always believed that only a great poet like Mr. Eliot is the true darling of the Muse."

Even if I don't copy the wasteland, no one in this world can stop Lao Tzu from becoming a great poet!

Ms. Cather continued: "And this name I think Mr. Yuan must be familiar to him, the author of this year's most popular paradise on earth in the United States......"

"Haha, Ms. Cather needless to say." Our Master Yuan interrupted her with a smile and stretched out his hand, "Such a young and handsome writer, there is only Mr. Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald in New York. ”

The great writer, who was indeed only twenty-four years old and did look quite good, shook his hand with a smile and said, "Mr. Yuan doesn't need to be too modest, you are a young and handsome writer in New York." ”

When the three people next to them heard this, they all smiled involuntarily and nodded, looking deeply approving.

Not to mention, Yuan Yanqian and Fitzgerald not only look very good, but also have similar temperaments. These two have a kind of flying and free temperament, because these two can now be regarded as successful people who "became famous at a young age".

Well, since this guy is so good at talking, then I won't "write" the great Gatsby. Of course, this one is a bit out of step with me, a master of neoclassical liberalism, so I'll leave it to you.

Our Master Yuan suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart, he looked at the great poets who had not yet become popular, and then looked at the great writers who had become popular.

In the eyes of him, a traverser, two people who obviously have nothing in common, but they really have one thing in common, that is, they both have a little green on their heads.

The people of Arasiris are indeed an ancient people with ancient wisdom, "Marry a wife and a virtuous wife, and take a concubine." What a good saying.

The two in front of me have never heard this sentence, so they have made mistakes on the road of life and married too beautiful wives. And their two beautiful wives are really alike. In addition to being beautiful, they also love to dance, and later they both went to a psychiatric hospital.

Born in 1888 and only thirty-two years old this year, Mr. Eliot is a little old because he married a beautiful dancer in 1915, Vivien Haigh-ood. Ms. Heywood had a very complicated relationship history before she met him, similar to "going out to buy a pack of cigarettes and meeting three men who had been you", and she also had a history of mental illness.

What I heard was that Russell was one of the men who cuckolded the great poet. That's right, it's the "Twentieth Century Frotheil" that "my friend Xu Zhimo" admires. Sure enough, both the master and the apprentice have a little bit of ...... Well, the talent for digging into other people's corners.

If I go to England and go back to China, I have to be careful...... By the way, why should I be careful? I have 19 points of charm and 16 points of physical strength, obviously they should be careful of Lao Tzu and I am!

And Mr. Fitzgerald's marriage has the legendary flavor of "don't bully the poor boy", and it also has the characteristics of the "flashy era" of the twenties.

The truth is that it is not for nothing that he and his lover were later regarded as symbols of the "Jazz Age" before the Great Depression.

In July 1918, Fitzgerald met Zelda at a country ball in Montgomery, Alabama. At the age of eighteen, she was the brightest star at the ball. As the youngest daughter of an Alabama Supreme Court judge, she was born into an extraordinary woman who was not only naturally beautiful, but also versatile, fluent in ballet, French, and poetry.

Fitzgerald embarked on a stormy courtship, and Zelda finally agreed to his marriage proposal, but on the condition that he would marry if he could earn money to live the comfortable life he was accustomed to.

Fitzgerald retired from the army in late 1918 and went straight to New York, but he only got a job writing advertising slogans at an obscure advertising agency. In June 1919, Zelda lost patience and offered to terminate the marriage. The experiences of his early years caused Fitzgerald to be particularly sensitive to the word money all his life.

Fortunately, this year, his paradise on earth was published, and it became an instant hit because it conveyed a vivid sense of the times, and the first edition was sold out in just a few days. Magazines began to scramble to ask him for articles. Overnight, a great writer was born. He immediately married his sweetheart.

However, the couple moved to France in 1924, shortly after which their marriage was in crisis. Zelda has always been arrogant, and used to be overly affectionate with her husband's male friends. In 1925 she met a French pilot and ran back to ask for a divorce. Fitzgerald even offered to sympathize with the enemy in a duel.

At the time, most of Fitzgerald's friends in literary circles thought that Zelda had ruined him.

Zelda later went mentally ill as well. Because she wanted to be a dancer, she underwent high-intensity and overload training. He first induced a nervous breakdown in 1930 and was later diagnosed with schizophrenia. To make matters worse, in 1947, the psychiatric hospital where this talented woman was located accidentally caught fire, and she was trapped on the top floor and burned alive.

Our Master Yuan couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, what does God mean by this?

Let me know these two at the same time at the juncture when I am about to "go on a blind date", is it to warn myself that I must choose my wife carefully?
