2. The origin of hawthorn tree love:

"Love Hawthorn Tree" is signed by two authors, one is Amy, an American Chinese, and the other is Jingqiu, the original author. The Love of Hawthorn Tree was actually written on the basis of the memory words written by the protagonist Jing Qiu in 1977. In addition to the narrative part, Amy supplemented the description based on her conversation with her good friend Jingqiu, and most of the conversations used Jingqiu's original words.

1977, in the first year after the Cultural Revolution, China resumed the college entrance examination system. In Jingqiu, who has already taken part in the work, she teaches in No.8 Middle School Attached to K City, L Province and signs up for the college entrance examination. At that time, her life was many times better than before she took office. This time, she was lucky enough to sign up for the college entrance examination, which reminded her of the words that the third child once comforted her, saying that she wanted to recruit people from the countryside and said, "I was born to be useful." Unfortunately, when the third child's predictions began to come true one after another, the third child became a beautiful dream. Seeing Miss Jing, Jing Qiu began to write the memoir to commemorate the time she spent with her third child.

Later, she wrote the story of the third child into a novel of about 30,000 words-Love of Hawthorn Tree, and sent it to L Province Literature and Art.. At that time, she didn't even know that the contribution should be written on grid paper, so she wrote it on ordinary stationery and sent it. The novel was returned, and the editor commented: "The writing is exquisite and the style is fresh ... but the characters are not aggressive ..." She was asked to rewrite it and send it back to "L Province Literature and Art". Jingqiu didn't rewrite it because she was busy with the exam and because she wrote the novel to commemorate her third child. If she changes it according to the requirements of the editor, the third child is not the third child, and even if it is published, it doesn't make sense.

10 years later, Jingqiu left K City to study in the capital of L Province. Later, my sister went abroad, and my mother and brother immigrated one after another, throwing away everything at home. I don't know where the rejection was thrown, but this memoir written in her diary was preserved by her mother and brought to Canada.

One Spring Festival, Jingqiu took her daughter SARA to Amy's house to play, and also brought a diary for Amy to choose to write to commemorate the past 30 years ago. Thus, there was the love of hawthorn trees.

Jingqiu was originally from Yichang.

After The Hawthorn Tree Love was written and posted on overseas literature websites, people burst into tears when they saw the ending. Within a few months, it quickly became a "manuscript of the Internet age" sought after by overseas peers, forming a huge overseas "Jingqiu fans" group.

Little known is that Jing Qiu, the heroine of the story, is based on Xiong Yin. She once taught in Yichang No.9 Middle School and No.1 Middle School, and now lives in the United States. The location of the story, K City, refers to Yichang City. In April 2008, Mei Yunxiong, a reporter from Three Gorges Daily, found Mr. Zhang from No.9 Middle School. According to teacher Zhang, he was born in 1957. Mother Zhang is a teacher in Xiba Primary School and father is a music teacher in Yichang Normal University. He is very talented. Xiong Yin studied in Xiba Primary School with his mother, and then studied in junior high school and senior high school in No.9 Middle School, graduating from 1975. Teacher Zhang used to be a geography teacher in junior high school. In her impression, she is very smart and has excellent academic performance.

After graduating from high school, Xiong Yin worked as an educated youth in the countryside for a period of time, and the creation in the novel Love of Hawthorn Tree is closely related to this life. The story of Jingqiu and Lao San's "purest love" happened in this period. Some netizens verified that "the location of the novel story is indeed Yichang, Xicunping is now Nancunping of Xiaoxita in Yiling District, Yan Jiahe is now Yan Jiahe, and Jiang Xindao is now Xiba."

After Xiong Yin's mother retired, she worked as a cook in No.9 Middle School for several months, and soon became a Chinese teacher in middle school and a colleague of Teacher Zhang. She is cheerful, earnest and excellent.

1977, resume the college entrance examination, and refer to Zhang hedu online. Xiong Yin was not admitted because his father was a rightist. From 65438 to 0979, Xiong Yin studied English in Yichang TV University. 1984, Xiong Yin passed the exam and was admitted to the Foreign Languages Department of Yichang Normal University. 1986 After graduation, Xiong Yin entered the No.1 Middle School to teach. That year, he took the postgraduate exam of Wuhan University and obtained the admission qualification. At that time, Zhu Zejian, the principal of No.1 Middle School, asked her to stay and teach, but Xiong Yin gave up the opportunity for further study. The following year, Xiong Yin took the exam again and was admitted to Wuhan University as a graduate student. In the mid-1990s, Xiong Yin studied in the United States.

Xiong Yin's elder brother Xiong Xin and elder sister Xiong Qing are both excellent and have moved to Canada successively. After her father died in the mid-1990s, her mother moved to Canada.

Jingqiu's husband is like the third child.

According to Jing Qiu's answer to a netizen's question in 2007, her husband is also like the third child. In the pursuit stage before marriage, he also sent her across the river, standing on the riverbank for a long time and sitting alone in the riverside pavilion for one night.

However, because the husband is still a married man, their relationship cannot be made public. "He came to see me from the city where he works. He had to take the train all night. Many times, he has no seat on the train and can only sit in the bathroom. Later, after I went to Wuhan University for graduate study, he could come to see me every two weeks. When he comes, he will help me wash the sheets and quilts, sew the quilts, and sometimes buy a chicken, wash it and watch my sister and me eat. "

However, after marriage, contradictions gradually emerged, because he was no longer so careful and considerate. At that time, Jingqiu felt deeply cheated. "I think that if I have a third child, maybe it will become like this." So I always comfort myself that it may be a good thing that I can't live with my third child for a long time, so that I won't have a stuttering quarrel about daily necessities. He will always be beautiful in my mind. "
