About This Novel
Shen Congwen wrote good novels, but his words were extremely poor. It is said that the attendance rate in his classes was unusually low. He fell in love with his student Zhang Zhaohe, but he was slow with words, so he launched a love letter offensive, one letter a day, and it was untouchable. If Zhang was not moved, some people rumored that Shen was going to commit suicide. Zhang had no choice but to go to the principal Hu Shi with the letter he wrote, saying: "The teacher treats me like this." Hu replied: "He loves you very stubbornly." Zhang immediately refused: "I very stubbornly don't love him." Hu Shi said that Shen Congwen is a talent and is willing to be a matchmaker. From then on, Shen Congwen began to "harass" Zhang unscrupulously. After Zhang graduated, he returned to his hometown in Suzhou. Shen knocked on Zhang's door with a large bag of literary masterpieces. Shen mustered up the courage and said: "If dad agrees, let me know early and let me, a country boy, have a drink of sweet wine." Zhang's father readily agreed, and Zhang sent him a telegram with eight words - "Country people, have a drink of sweet wine." Shen Congwen left us this beautiful text: I have walked on bridges in many places, seen clouds many times, and drank many kinds of wine, but I have only loved one person at his best age.
