Very low, very low, low into the dust, but flowers bloom in the dust.

As low as dust, flowers bloom and fall. Written on the back of a photo taken by Zhang Ailing to Hu Lancheng, the original words in the photo are "Seeing him, she became very low, as low as dust. But her heart is happy, and the flowers are dusty. " Generally, it has two meanings.

A woman will always look up to a man once in her life, even if she was once as proud as a goddess. Falling in love with someone becomes very depressed, because it is happy and beautiful, so it is also willing and happy. This is Zhang Ailing's view of love and a true portrayal of most people in love.

Later, she also became sober and firm, and wrote in the breakup letter: "I don't like you anymore, and you don't like me long ago ... I won't read it until I find you and write." A few years later, Hu Lancheng wrote to Yan Ying, Zhang Ailing's good friend, trying to save this relationship, but Zhang Ailing ignored him.

Yes, no matter how tall she is, she only has the power to bloom once in her life. Zhang Ailing once said to Hu Lancheng: "I am weak." But from then on, it was not only love that faded, but also her literary talent, and her creation also entered a trough.

It can be seen that the flowers in the dust are industrious, and it is difficult to have a flowering period after withering. Zhang Ailing's life has been silent since then, and she has never said a word about such a love in her works. In her later years, she was still a little fidgety, even moved constantly, and finally died quietly in an apartment in the United States.

For an extraordinary woman who has written so many beautiful words and influenced so many readers, this is still her decisive choice, because she has already opened the most touching flowers in her heart, and even if her life is bleak, it will bring lonely glory.

The sentence written by Zhang Ailing behind the photo was widely circulated by later generations. Many people think that talent is as high as her, and it is inevitable that men will be humble in the dust, not to mention us. In fact, this sentence should be reversed. Only when she is tall can she interpret the beauty of dust. If you are not talented and ordinary, don't be melodramatic. If it is not beautiful at all, it will be a joke.

Zhang Ailing is a noble family, and her grandmother, Li Ju, is the daughter of Li Hongzhang in the main hall and the confidant of Cixi.

However, her childhood was not happy. Her biological mother wandered in Europe. She grew up under the supervision of her father and stepmother. At the age of seventeen, she went to see her mother because of her father's beating. Mother gave her two choices: "Either get married and dress up with money, or study with money." Zhang Ailing chose the latter.

The war forced her to give up the opportunity to go to London and choose the University of Hong Kong, which has always been among the best, but Hong Kong fell on the eve of graduation. After that, Zhang Ailing returned to Shanghai to write with the only survival tool to tide over the difficulties. Just when she was recognized as the leading female writer in Shanghai and her career was in full swing, she fell in love. The other is Hu Lancheng, who works in a traitor's government and is 15 years older than her. The whole world thinks this kind of love is incredible, but Zhang Ailing doesn't think so.

She wrote at the back of a photo she sent him: "I became very low in front of you, as low as dust." But my heart likes that flowers come out of the dust. "

They got married, but soon Hu Lancheng fled as a traitor and married other women in Wenzhou. Zhang Ailing found Wenzhou and three people met at the hotel. She felt that the woman was like a relative of Hu Lancheng, but she was like a guest.

Zhang Ailing knows that the most beautiful love in her life has come to a bitter end, and there is no room for redemption. After nearly a year, Zhang Ailing still helped Hu Lancheng with her own contribution. It was not until he was out of danger and had a stable job that Zhang Ailing wrote a farewell letter, which also contained the 300,000 yuan breakup fee paid by herself.
