What is the cost of American immigration in Jing 'an?

Listening to centenarians talk about life, how do people feel about the agitation of that era and the ups and downs of their personal career? What's more, she is a woman who lives in the forefront of the times and the center of the torrent, and her other wonderful things make people applaud. Gu yanyouyun 109 years old, living a happy old age in the United States. Recently, my Story of One Hundred and Nine Springs was dictated by her, edited by my eldest daughter and published by New World Publishing House.

109 years old! Her second daughter, Ms. Yang Xuelan, said: I took her to a festival on Mother's Day the other day. She ate steamed stuffed buns, cream cakes and Beijing roast duck. Before I left Beijing, I bought her a McDonald's hamburger. The old man said: Every day is a good day. He Jianming, a famous writer, once said: Only people with faith like "Every day is a good day" can live to 109, and have a longer life.

Yan Youyun, a Shanghai celebrity who wears new clothes every day, never wears a dress for the second time, but wears new clothes every day. How rich her family was in China in the 1920s.

Her grandfather, Yan Xinhou, was Li Hongzhang's assistant, in charge of Luchang salt industry and served as the customs and tax department, and later became the leading businessman in Southeast China. The courtyard wall of Yan family in Shanghai Mansion extends to half a block around Jing 'an Temple and the whole Di Feng Road block. More than 80 people live on the third floor.

Yan Youyun is the first female student of Fudan University. She drives a Buick private car with license plate number 84 to school and is called Miss 84. Boys in Shanghai call Miss 84 a blessing of love. At that time, boys from Fudan University often racked their brains to meet Miss 84. In the early 1980s, when Yang Xuelan returned to Shanghai, he visited an old friend of his uncle. At that time, the hutongs in Shanghai were dark and broken, and the old people's homes were hot and messy. But when he heard Shirley's mother's name-Yan Youyun, the old man's muddy eyes sparkled in the dark alley. Your mother is the idol of all college students in Shanghai. We stand at the university gate every day just to have a look at' No.84'. If you see it, you will be excited all day! The old man said in a shabby room, wearing vest shorts and fanning the wind.

Yan Youyun married Yang Guang, a promising young diplomat. At that time, their wedding caused a sensation in Shanghai. 1932, Yan Youyun was formally introduced to Gu Weijun, the Chinese ambassador to France. In fact, Yan Youyun met him at a party in Tianjin when she was a teenager, but because of her age, she was not interested in Gu. Even if they met formally at 1932, she never expected that he would become an important person in her life and spend more time with her than the light she loved. 65438-0938, Yang Guang was appointed Consul General in the Philippines at the invitation of Finance Minister Kong Xiangxi. The following year, Youyun took her three daughters Ramon, Shirley and Xi 'an to the Philippines to reunite with Yang Guang.

Yan Youyun lived a happy life after her husband was killed by Japanese invaders in the Philippines. 194 1 Japan invaded the Philippines, and the fairy tale was shattered.

The day after Pearl Harbor, Japan began to bomb Manila. General MacArthur suggested that Yang Guang's family go to America with him, but he said he had a responsibility to stay in the Philippines. 1On October 4th, the Japanese captured Yang Guang and seven other consular officials.

Since then, Yan Youyun and the children have been allowed to visit several times, but Yang Guang and seven other diplomats soon disappeared. Yan Youyun has been asking about their whereabouts, and even took the children to visit the senior Japanese generals in Manila, but found nothing. It was not until the end of the war that Yan Youyun got the exact news of their sacrifice. Yang Guang refused the Japanese army's request for donations from overseas Chinese. The Japanese army became angry and ignored the immunity of diplomats stipulated in the Geneva Convention, and killed eight Yang Guang diplomats on April 1942. After the war, overseas Chinese in the Philippines built a monument for China officials, and named the road leading to the monument and a primary school in Manila after Yang Guang. Nanjing also built a cemetery for them, and now they have become a part of a park.

After her husband disappeared, the families of other diplomats in China defected one after another, and 26 people spent four years of wartime together.

Yan Youyun is responsible for everyone's life, eating and dressing ... The salary provided by China * * * is very meager, and the tenant has never offered to share the cost, living entirely on the savings of Youyun and the money brought by his family in Shanghai. In this hard life, Yan Youyun got Yang Guang's glasses, a watch and a lock of hair. Although she realized that her husband was dead, she never wrote her pain on her face, because twenty people lived on her.

Spend a happy old age with Gu Weijun. After the war, Yan Youyun immigrated to the United States with her daughter and started her first job-the first batch of protocol officers at the United Nations.

After arriving in the United States, Yan Youyun got the support of Gu Weijun. From 65438 to 0956, Gu Weijun stepped down as ambassador to the United States and formally divorced his wife Huang Huilan, who had been separated for 20 years. 1959 On September 3rd, Gu Weijun and Yan Youyun finally got married in Mexico City. Yan Youyun retired from the United Nations and went to the Netherlands with Gu Weijun, a judge of the United Nations International Court of Justice, to start a new trip abroad.

Because of Yan Youyun, Gu Weijun had a warm old age surrounded by his family. Yan Youyun connected the Yang family with her family with her love. She is now the grandmother of a large family of 100 people.

Yan Youyun in his later years.

1985165438+1October 14, Gu Weijun left peacefully. Yan Youyun created a happy life for him for 25 years.

A year after returning to new york from The Hague with Wei Jun, Wei Jun and I moved to an apartment at Park Avenue 1 185, where we still live. We are all very happy. We can finally settle down by living every few years.

Wei Jun is a man with a regular life. Since he returned to new york, he has kept the habit for many years. Drink a cup of hot lemonade after getting up, then do exercise and exercise your arms, legs and back in an orderly way. Doctors have been wondering whether Wei Jun can fully recover since he injured his shoulder skiing in the small town of Weil. Wei Jun adopted a new exercise method recommended by the doctor, and his fingers gradually stepped onto the door. Finally, his arms can be fully extended. To this day, there are traces left by his fingers on my door.

During dinner, Wei Jun will watch a recorded China movie "ChristianRandPhillips" on the TV in the restaurant. After the long story was finished, Wei Jun watched it again from the beginning.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, he will drink some soup, eat some biscuits or bread, and then go to bed. Go out for a walk after waking up, three or four kilometers. Wei Jun likes walking in Central Park, but after he was robbed twice, I insisted that he walk on the sidewalk outside the park.

Wei Jun usually eats very little with or without guests, and only eats a little. At eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, we went back to our bedrooms.

I will put a cup of Iowa and some cookies or cookies in his room and turn on the lights in the corridor to remind him. Wei Jun woke up at three or four o'clock, and when he saw the light, he would think of using snacks. He eats while reading, and turns off the lights after about an hour. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I knew he had eaten snacks.

I have always enjoyed hosting or attending large parties, and I have hosted many times for Wei Jun. Wei Jun's birthday is our annual activity.

1985165438+10/4, Wei Jun left peacefully. Late at night, Wei Jun was taking a bath in my bathtub and discussing with me which guests to invite to play mahjong the next day. I asked him a question, but I didn't hear the answer. I went into the bathroom and found him curled up on the bath mat as if asleep.

My life has always been centered on Wei Jun, so I was sad and empty for a while. However, I feel a little relieved to think of the happy life I have created for Wei Jun in my marriage of more than 25 years.
