Chapter 33 Chapter 17 The five-year-old daughter who starved to death

From the existing information, we can judge that Hai Rui has obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. In the minds of patients with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, the world is an orderly system, and any behavior must be carried out meticulously according to the rules. If there is a slight deviation, they will feel uneasy for a long time.He has a strong tendency towards perfectionism and cannot tolerate flawed things in his own life.Such people behave rigidly, are too strict with themselves and others, indulge in duties, obligations, and ethics, and have no hobbies. Hai Rui meets almost all the above criteria.The static idealized social picture provided by Confucianism just met his psychological needs for an orderly world, and the family law established by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang provided an operational basis for the realization of this idealized society.

Hai Rui's regular script is based on willow style, which is thin and bony, rigid and meticulous.This is just like his character, serious to the extreme.In his resignation letter, he said that he does things: "Don't seek conformity, but must be serious. Nine percent of the truth, one point is not true." That is to say, what he wants is 100%, 90% Nine is meaningless to him. This is a typical obsessive-compulsive disorder symptom. Hai Rui has no hobbies and few friends.He has a strong perfectionist mentality and demands perfection in everything.He is always picky about his assistants, and strongly demands that others strictly follow his standards, even trivial matters.If he did something wrong, Hai Rui would regret it for several days in a row, and he couldn't let it go.In fact, even if he does one thing well, he will not be satisfied, because he thinks he should do better.In other words, Hai Rui doesn't get pleasure from work.

The portrait of Hai Rui in "The Legend of the Famous Sages of Wu County" painted by Kong Jiyao in the Qing Dynasty is a dry and wrinkled old man with a tightly pursed mouth, wrinkles on every corner of his face, and floating eyes With a sad look. Hai Rui is pure and transparent, but his posture is too monotonous, thus lacking in beauty. So far, we haven't mentioned Hai Rui's family.Hai Rui married many times.His affection for his wife and daughter was unbearably cold.In his early years, Hai Rui married his wife Xu, and gave birth to two daughters, who were divorced by Hai Rui.The second wife, Mrs. Pan, was kicked out of the house less than a month after entering the house.The third wife also died suddenly in an ambiguous situation in her prime, and before that, one of his concubines committed suicide.Hai Rui's concubines also changed one after another. As a Taoist, Hai Rui is not too picky about women. Therefore, the reason for his "nine marriages" is naturally out of filial piety, for a simple purpose: to have a son.It's a pity that this goal was not achieved until death (the third wife and a concubine gave birth to three sons, but unfortunately all died).

Hai Rui is strict with children's education.He taught his daughter that men and women are not close to each other from an early age.One day, seeing his five-year-old daughter eating bread, he asked who gave it to her.The daughter answered Xiaotong.Hai Rui was furious: "How can a girl eat a manservant's cake! Starve to death, so that you are worthy of being my daughter!" The little girl was also quite stubborn, and she really stopped eating from that day on. All kinds of persuasion did not work, and finally starved to death seven days later.
