Hu Shi is happy with the beauty of adults, and wishes that lovers in the world will eventually get married.He has an autograph book for newlyweds, which was created by him, or he was invited to be the officiant or witness of the wedding——"Mandarin Duck Book", which records the happy marriage stories of many contemporary literary celebrities.Signed on the "Mandarin Duck Book" are Zhao Yuanren and his wife, Shen Congwen and his wife, Xu Zhimo and his wife... Shen Congwen liked a student named Zhang Zhaohe. He wrote love letters to Zhang Zhaohe every day. Zhang never read them. Later, he got annoyed and complained to the principal Hu Shi. Hu Shi smiled again and told Zhang Zhaohe to read the love letters first.After Zhang Zhaohe read those letters, he was gradually moved by Shen Congwen, and finally made a marriage.

New Year's Day in 1936 was the wedding day of economist Qian Jiaju and Ms. Yang Liyin, and they invited Hu Shi to witness the marriage.Qian Jiaju said that Mr. Hu Shi is famous all over the world, he doesn't put on airs at all, he is very humane.He took out a "Mandarin Duck Book" and asked everyone to sign it.When the wedding was held, he joked in his speech: "When Qian Jiaju was the president of the student union at Peking University, he was a famous naughty boss, but at today's wedding, there was no naughty spirit at all. Probably starting today, Qian Jiaju It has become Yang Jiaju!" The words made everyone burst into laughter.

Hu Shi likes to be a matchmaker. Lu Xiaoman planned to divorce her husband. When Xu Zhimo returned to Suzhou, he went to the station to see him off, and gave him a box of pastries, and asked him to taste them after the car started, saying: "This cake is a gift for the king. When you have something, please consult Hu Shizhi Sir, sir will help you." After the car drove away, there was a letter in the cake box, which said divorce. Lu Xiaoman's mother opposed the marriage between Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman.Hu Shi went to persuade them, and Lu's mother made two demands to Hu Shi, and if they could do it, they would be allowed to get married.These two requirements are: first, Liang Qichao must be invited to witness the marriage, because Liang Qichao is well-known throughout the country, and he is also Xu Zhimo's teacher; second, the wedding is required to be held in the auditorium of Beijing Beihai Park Library.These two items were quite difficult to handle at the time, but Hu Shi finally managed them.

On October 3, 1926, that is, the twenty-seventh day of the eighth lunar month, the birthday of Confucius, the two held their wedding in Beihai Park.At the lively wedding with relatives and friends, in addition to blessings, Lu Xiaoman and Xu Zhimo also heard a "unique" marriage testimony from the witness Liang Qichao in history: "Xu Zhimo, you are impetuous, so you have no achievements in learning; You are a person who is not dedicated to love, so that you divorce and remarry... In the future, you must change your past and become a newcomer. Xu Zhimo, Lu Xiaoman, you are all divorced and remarried, and you are all experienced. It's because you don't use your emotions well, and you will have to repent from the pain in the future... I hope you don't become people who have been through it again. As your husband Xu Zhimo—if you still recognize me as your husband—I am also the witness of today's wedding , I send you a word: I wish you this marriage for the last time."

When Jiang Menglin was at Peking University, when he abandoned his first wife in the countryside and married Tao Zenggu, the widow of his good friend Gao Renshan, he invited Hu Shi to be the witness of the marriage.On the same day, Hu Shi's wife, Jiang Dongxiu, refused to let Hu go out, saying that Jiang was immoral and abandoned his first wife to form a new love.Hu Shi had no choice but to "abscond" through the window, which was a beautiful thing.
