1933年,北平的时局非常险恶。清华大学决定,免除应届毕业生的期末考试,以全年平均分数评定毕业成绩,提前放暑假。此时,23岁的曹禺是西洋文学系的应届毕业生,刚认识比他低两届的女生郑秀不久。曹禺留在校园没有回天津的家,他要求郑秀也不要回南京。两人整天在清华园图书馆相对而坐,除低声交谈一两句话之外,便分别做自己的事:曹禺埋头创作剧本《雷雨》,郑秀用工整娟秀的字迹誊写出来。郑秀是《雷雨》的第一位读者,他俩也由相识到相知,很快进入热恋。经过三年恋爱,曹禺与郑秀于1936年11月26日在南京举行了隆重的订婚典礼。
In 1933, Peking’s situation was very dangerous. Tsinghua University decided to dispense with the final exams for fresh graduates, assess graduation scores with the annual average grade and take the summer vacation ahead of schedule. At this point, Cao Yu, 23, a recent graduate of the Department of Western Literature, just met Zheng Xiu, a girl two years younger than him. Cao Yu did not return to the campus in Tianjin home, he asked Zheng Xiu not to return to Nanjing. The two sat opposite each other in the Qinghua Garden Library, doing their own thing apart from whispering a word or two: Cao Yu buried the script “Thunderstorm” and Zheng Xiu wrote it down with the handwriting of his fairy tale. Zheng Xiu is the first reader of “Thunderstorm”, and they also met each other by acquaintance, and soon into love. After three years of love, Cao Yu and Zheng Xiu held a solemn engagement ceremony in Nanjing on November 26, 1936.
