Fu Sinian had two marriages in his life, the first was an old-fashioned marriage by the order of his parents and the words of a matchmaker.Fu Sinian's father died young. When he was 16 years old in middle school in Tianjin, his grandfather and mother decided to marry Ding Zhancui, the daughter of Ding Lichen, a gentleman from Liaocheng County, Shandong Province. Ding Zhancui is proficient in literary and ink, and is known as the number one beauty in Liaocheng, but because she has lived in the countryside for a long time, her attitude and lifestyle are very different from those of Fu Sinian.With age and the influence of Western learning, Fu Sinian became more and more dissatisfied with his marriage.

Fu Sinian and Ding Zhancui lived apart for a long time, they had no common interests, and it was impossible to talk about their relationship.Fu Sinian was extremely distressed, and said angrily: "We have fallen into the net now, there is nothing we can do. There is a last resort, only to reduce the burden on the family, and try our best to develop our individuality. Regardless of the censure of parents, brothers, and wives, always You have to go your own way and obey the dictates of your conscience, and the rest are not to worry about and can be sacrificed.” After Fu Sinian returned from studying in Europe, he made up his mind to divorce Ding Zhancui. In 1934, Fu Sinian finally divorced Ding Zhancui in Jinan.

On August 5 of the same year, with the help of his classmate Yu Dawei, Fu Sinian married Yu Dacai, Yu Dawei's youngest sister and Chen Yinke's cousin, who was 10 years younger than himself, in Peking for a hundred years. Yu Dacai was born in a famous family and received a new-style education when he was young. He later studied at Hujiang University in Shanghai. He is good at literature, especially English, and has a good handwriting and excellent essays. In September 1935, his son Fu Rengui was born. Yu Dacai said about her marriage in this way: "If you compare knowledge, I really dare not raise my head in front of him (Fu Sinian), so I am willing to sacrifice all my hobbies and enjoyments, follow him, accompany him, and help him. After marriage, he did not stop I don't have any social activities, but I completely voluntarily give up, our economic situation has been very difficult for more than ten years, but we still live happily and happily."

Fu Sinian loves to eat meat buns, and his wife, Ms. Yu Dacai, comes from a famous family and is from the south, so she is deeply impressed by his habit.Mr. Fu hates dogs. A friend gave his son Rengui a dog. One day when he was taking a nap, the dog licked his hand, woke up and beat him angrily. The dog escaped, but broke his own glasses.Madam argued with him, but did not exchange a word for three days.However, three days later, he got up, bowed to the ground, with a look of shame on his face, and said to his wife: "I surrendered unconditionally. I have been dumb for three days, and I am bored." Wouldn’t it be better to buy a few meat buns for more money?”

Yu Dacai followed Fu Sinian all her life.When he was in Lizhuang, because there was no primary school, Yu Dacai taught Fu Rengui and Li Fanggui's daughter at home. In 1947, Fu Sinian went to the United States for medical treatment. After Fu Sinian and his wife returned to China, they left their 13-year-old son Fu Rengui in the United States to study in middle school, entrusting friends and students to take care of him.Dai Jun once inquired about the whereabouts of Mr. Fu Sinian's bloodline.According to insiders, Fu Rengui never returned from the United States.There is no connection with either Taiwan or the mainland.He lacked education and discipline in the United States, and he didn't study well. He was like a hippie, poor and desolate, and spent his life in desolation.His mother Yu Dacai, a teacher at National Taiwan University, regretted this all her life.

Later, Mr. Fu Rengui read Dai Jun's "Discovering Lizhuang" and wrote him a letter.The full text of the letter is less than a hundred words: "Dear Mr. Dai Jun: I was lucky enough to read "Discovering Lizhuang". You." The letter was written in English, only the signature was in Chinese. "Fu Rengui" has three big characters, which are crooked and crooked, which is really not flattering.Dai Jun began to believe people's rumors that Mr. Fu Sinian's son could no longer speak Chinese.
