A few days ago, I was immersed in proofreading the "Feng Zikai Commentary" that was about to be published by the Zhejiang People's Publishing House, and the WeChat circle of friends was brushed by Feng Yiyin's female history. The souls of the "mother's family" of the world's "Feng fans" returned to the Dao Mountain, and many "Feng Fans" in the circle of friends began various mourning.
Looking back, I have known Mr. Feng Yiyin for nearly twenty years. From September 2003 to June 2004, I was a visiting scholar of Mr. Sun Yu in Beijing. At that time, I was doing the planning project of Zhejiang Province "The Aesthetic World of Feng Zikai", and during the winter vacation, I asked a friend to introduce me and went to Shanghai to visit Feng Yiyin. On Friday afternoon, February 20, 2004, I rushed to Shanghai Xietu Road, found the high-rise residential building, took the elevator to the 13th floor, and knocked on the door of Teacher Feng Yiyin's house. After entering the door, I introduced myself to Teacher Feng Yiyin, emphasizing that my hometown was in the countryside of Shimen, and in the late spring of 1975, when Feng Zikai returned to Shimen's hometown for the last time, I heard many legends and stories about Feng Zikai. Teacher Feng Yiyin was born in 1929 in the old house of Fengjia Detang in Shimen Town. Hearing that I was a little fellow, she showed a kind smile, and the two dimples were particularly obvious. I gave her a set of lake pens, and when she saw that there was a wolf, she said that she and her father Feng Zikai were used to writing and painting with a hard pen; as for the soft pen, she said that she was not used to it. We talked about Feng Zikai's calligraphy by lake pen. Feng Zikai's favorite Linsuojing's "Moon Instrument" should be a way to go. However, the most hanging in the Yuanyuan Hall is the character of Shen Yusu (Zeng Zhi), and Shen Zengzhi loved the monument in middle age and became a modern calligraphy master who combined the stele and the post. Feng Zikai's most revered Li Shutong and Ma Yifu were deeply influenced by their calligraphy. Teacher Feng Yiyin told me that her father also visited the monument in his early years, and in the future, he loved to visit the "Moon Ceremony", and it was returned by Bo.

I have read "The Wind God of Dashing - My Father Feng Zikai" written by Teacher Feng Yiyin, and I have also read her thesis on the reconstruction of the Yuanyuan Hall in the "New Literary Historical Materials". I told her that Feng Zikai's Yuanyuan Hall was tall and spacious, but I went to rebuild the Yuanyuan Hall many times, and it didn't feel as tall as I thought. In this regard, Teacher Feng Yiyin admitted that Feng Zikai built the Yuanyuan Hall with coarse wood, while the Yuanyuan Hall rebuilt in the 1980s mainly used the five-hole plate commonly used in that year, considering the safety, the size was appropriately reduced.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Feng Yiyin and his father Feng Zikai translated foreign art education and foreign literary works for a long time, and in 1961, he went to the publishing house to engage in compilation work. In 1980, in order to concentrate on the study of Feng Zikai, she was transferred to the Institute of Literature of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences. After her retirement, she was even more old and strong, researching and writing Feng Zikai's biography, and editing and sorting out Feng Zikai's works together with her eldest sister Feng Chen Bao and second brother Feng Yuancao. The first four volumes of the "Feng Zikai Anthology" of Zhejiang Literature and Art Publishing House and Zhejiang Education Publishing House are "art volumes", which they both sorted out and edited. They also compiled a set of "Feng Zikai Art Reading Materials" for hunan literature and art publishing house. The last three volumes of the "Collected Works of Feng Zikai" by Zhejiang Literature and Art Publishing House and Zhejiang Education Publishing House are "literary volumes", which were edited by Feng Yiyin and Feng Chen Bao. Feng Yiyin and Feng Chen Bao also edited the Complete Collection of Feng Zikai Comics, which was published by Jinghua Publishing House. In fact, the academic community does not agree with the family to compile collections or complete collections, often unprofessional, and love to keep his Holiness secret. Fortunately, these 3 children of Feng Zikai are all veteran editors, and they are particularly serious and professional.
Speaking of the editor of the "Feng Zikai Anthology", I found that the "Handwriting of Feng Zikai's Self-Edited (1971-1973) Yuanyuantang Continuation" published in the anthology has an essay with the real name, while the essay in the anthology changes the heroine to "S Girl". In this regard, Teacher Feng Yiyin said that this essay wrote about the private virtues of "S Girl", whose descendants still live in their hometown, so they dealt with it appropriately.

There are many bookcases around the living room, filled with collected information about Feng Zikai. Teacher Feng Yiyin said that it is still necessary to sort out and publish Feng Zikai's works. At that time, Feng Yiyin was more than seventy years old, with two gray sideburns, and was still busy researching and popularizing Feng Zikai. Between words, the sentence she said the most was "the world's feng fans are one family." At that time, online book shopping had not yet emerged, and book lovers had to buy books in physical stores. I asked Teacher Feng Yiyin which bookstore in Shanghai sold more books and materials for Feng Zikai. She gave me a leaflet of the propaganda of "Feng Zi Kai Yi Lin", saying that Feng Zi Kai's family had specially set up a place for learning and exchange for Feng Fans in the world. The next day was Saturday, and she and her eldest sister Feng Chen Bao would go to Yilin every Saturday afternoon to communicate with "Feng Fans".
When I was leaving, I took out the "Dashing Wind God - My Father Feng Zikai" written by Teacher Feng Yiyin and asked her to sign it. She smiled and said, "How do you like this set?" I told her that I had been a "Feng Fan" since I was a teenager and was currently trying to become an expert in Feng Zikai's research. She took the book and said that the book was not sent by her, and that she could only sign the name and date, and could not write "Save" and "Yazheng" and the like. Teacher Feng Yiyin said that the questions I asked were very professional, and I believed that I could do a good job in Feng Zikai's research. At the same time, she also said that she regretted that there were many people who came to her for advice in order to write papers, but often after writing a good paper, they would never continue to study Feng Zikai. During the conversation, Teacher Feng Yiyin received a text message from Chen Xing to verify a historical question about Feng Zikai from her. She said that in order to facilitate contact with Feng Zikai researchers, she specially learned to send and receive text messages. She suggested that if I encountered problems with Feng Zikai's research in the future, I could also send a text message to contact. She also encouraged me to learn from Chen Xing and continue to study Feng Zikai in depth.

The next afternoon, I went to the third floor of Tianshan Tea City at the intersection of Zhongshan West Road and Yuping South Road and found the "Fengzi KaiYiLin". Sure enough, Teacher Feng Chen Bao and Teacher Feng Yi Yin were here, communicating with the "Feng Fans". Teacher Feng Yiyin introduced me to Teacher Feng Chen Bao, and also emphasized that I was a small fellow of Shimen. Seeing me looking at Teacher Feng Chen Bao, Teacher Feng Yiyin asked me if I could see the shadow of "Ah Bao" in "Zi Kai Comics" more than seventy years ago. Teacher Feng Yiyin thus said that the influence of his father Feng Zikai's manga has endured for a long time, and he often receives royalties due to the use of Feng Zikai manga. When Mu Zimei wrote a sex diary and became popular on the Internet, a Beijing Daily essay criticizing Mu Zimei for not having a sense of shame quoted Feng Zikai's cartoon "Ah Bao Shirtless", saying that little girls have almost instinctive "shyness". The newspaper distributed the cartoon and recently sent a royalties.
In order to satisfy the world's "Feng fans" love feng zikai's color comics, feng yiyin teacher accepted the advice of the Singapore Guangqia master, and after retirement, began to copy Feng Zikai's comics and calligraphy, and after a few years, reached the level of god-like and divine. Teacher Feng Yiyin inscribed "Feng Yi Yin Painting" on his comic strip, and also stamped it with "imitation of his father's legacy ink" to show the difference between it and Feng Zi Kai's original painting. Yilin is a gallery, selling feng yiyin teacher copying Feng Zikai's color cartoons and Li Shutong's calligraphy works copied by Li Shujuan and his granddaughter Li Lijuan, the price is not expensive, the sales situation is good, and it can basically maintain the operation of Yilin.
Feng Zikai's books and albums are more varied, and even the "Feng Zikai Anthology" published many years ago has been sold in sets. A set of four "Daddy's Paintings" was written by Feng Chen Bao and Feng Yi yin, and each painting was accompanied by a simple explanatory analysis. On the back of Feng Yiyin's business card is a 12-year-old cartoon portrait that Feng Zikai drew for Feng Yiyin in Zunyi, Guizhou in July 1941, with Tao Yuanming's poem inscribed on it: "The golden year does not come again, it is difficult to come again in the morning, it is timely encouragement, and the years do not treat people. Teacher Feng Yiyin interpreted this cartoon with "Years Do Not Treat People", explained the scene when his father drew for him, and finally couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, years do not treat people." My eyes flickered, I was 71 years old! ”。 I bought a set, and Teacher Feng Yiyin signed it.

Yilin also sold some cultural and creative products made from Feng Zikai's calligraphy and painting works, which were all called "souvenirs" in that year, including porcelain bowls and porcelain plates, as well as Zikai's classic comics in small wooden frames. I bought some to keep as a souvenir. Although there is already a set of Jinghua editions of "Feng Zikai Comics Complete Collection", I still can't help but sell a box when I see the "Complete Collection of Feng Zikai Comics" of Zhejiang Electronic Audio and Video Publishing House. In fact, what I am looking at is the VCD of "Fate Life Feng Zikai" that was given with the "Complete Collection", which is a rare audio and video material of Feng Zikai's life. When Teacher Feng Yiyin heard that I was going to Beijing soon, she suggested that I visit her second brother, Teacher Feng Yuancao, and told me the address and telephone number of Feng Yuancao's home.
I went home and unsealed the box of The Complete Manga of Feng Zikai, but found that it was empty. I tried to text Teacher Feng Yiyin. She replied immediately, saying she would resend it soon. When I was going to Beijing the next day, I sent Teacher Sun Yu's address and asked Teacher Sun to hand it over. Soon after I returned to Beijing, I received a box of two CDs from the registered mail. The envelope was written by Teacher Feng Yiyin himself.

At that time, Zhang Bin (Xiao Cicada) was studying for a doctorate in fine arts at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and his doctoral dissertation was Feng Zikai. After being introduced by Teacher Feng Yiyin, he came to me to discuss Feng Zikai. After contact by phone, we went to Huangcun Town, Daxing District, the southern suburbs of Beijing, to visit Teacher Feng Yuancao. At that time, I was writing a paper, "Zhou Zuoren and Feng Zikai in the Historical Context", which involved Feng Zikai's translation of the Tale of Genji. Feng Zikai is a member of the Third National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and during his visit to Beijing for a meeting, Feng Yuancao led him to visit Qian Daosun. Teacher Feng Yuancao is the elder of China Music Publishing House. According to his recollection, the music publishing house asked Qian Daosun to translate the Japanese scholar Lin Qiansan's "Examination of East Asian Musical Instruments", and because of the business dealings in editing and proofreading, he met Qian Daosun. Therefore, he led Feng Zikai to Qian's house in Xisi Yubi Hutong to visit Qian Daosun. He also recalled what questions Feng Zikai had asked Qian Daosun about.
In August 2005, the book "Feng Zikai's Aesthetic World" was published by Shanghai Xuelin Publishing House. On September 12, I went to attend the academic seminar organized by Professor Chen Xing of the "Hongfeng Center" of Hangzhou Normal University to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Feng Zikai's death. On the 14th, Xing Haihua, vice mayor of Tongxiang City, who was in charge of culture and education, who came to attend the meeting, brought everyone to Tongxiang City to participate in the activities of Tongxiang City to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Feng Zikai's death.
When Teacher Feng Yiyin saw everyone at the hotel, she apologized to Chen Xing. It is said that a few days ago, her brother Feng Xinmei broke his head and was still in the hospital for rescue, so he could not come to the academic conference. She was eager to return to Shanghai to settle down after her brother's retirement, hoping to share some of her Feng Zikai's research work, but now she was more fierce.
In addition to Feng Xinmei, who was critically ill, and Feng Huazhan, the eldest son who died a few months ago, Feng Zikai's children all came. The adopted daughter Soft Soft (Feng Ningxin) and her husband Wang Weixian also came. I told Mr. Wang Weixian that I was from the Department of Chinese of Hangzhou University, and when I was an undergraduate, I took the elective course he offered, "Western Modern Linguistics"; and I also told Mr. Feng Ningxin that I borrowed a copy of "Essays on Yuanyuantang" from the library of Hangzhou University to read, and wrote about the "soft and soft" place, and someone specially pointed out with a pencil that she was Teacher Feng Ningxin of the Department of Mathematics of Hangzhou University. We talked together about the old Hangda. I have visited Fengyuancao twice in Beijing, and the third time I met, I felt very kind. At the commemorative meeting the next day, On behalf of his family, Teacher Feng Yiyin reported to everyone on the last years of Feng Zikai.
In 2008, Ms. Jin Ya planned to edit the "Chinese Modern Aesthetics Masters Wencong" and invited me to edit the "Feng Zi Kai Scroll". In March of the following year, before zhejiang university presses the press to buy copyright from the family, I contacted Feng Yiyin by text message several times, and finally let the publishing house negotiate with her directly, and quickly negotiated the copyright. Jin Ya later edited the "Research Series of Famous Artists of Modern Chinese Aesthetics" and asked me to write "Research on Feng Zikai's Aesthetic Thought". Because the book follows the style of the series, nearly 20,000 words of "Feng Zikai's Aesthetic Remarks" are compiled, involving Feng Zikai's copyright. I didn't have any project funds to write this book, so I could only send a text message to discuss with Teacher Feng Yiyin. In the end, Mr. Feng Yiyin understood my pain and agreed to give me 50 books to offset the copyright. She also told me in a text message that she would return to Tongxiang to go to the grave during the Qingming Dynasty, and asked me to go to Tongxiang County on the morning of April 7 to find her. As promised, I went to the hotel to find Mr. Feng Yiyin and handed her the pre-printed authorization letter. She signed the name and date and handed it to me. She told me that Feng Zikai's copyright was divided into seven parts by six children plus her adopted daughter Feng Ning Xinping. Each family has 7 books for 49 books, and there is one more book. She added, "If you give me this extra book, you will send it to me." Without saying a word, she laughed herself, revealing two deep dimples on her face. "Research on Feng Zikai's Aesthetic Thought" was published by the Commercial Press in November 2012, and I directly asked the publisher to send 50 copies to Feng Yiyin. She also texted me when she received it.

Two years ago, Ms. Fuhua of Jiaxing University planned a set of "Jiaxing Top Ten Cultural Celebrities Commentary Series" and asked me to write "Feng Zikai Commentary". During the writing process, I encountered problems and wanted to send a text message to Teacher Feng Yiyin for advice, but unfortunately she was too old to reply to text messages. Fortunately, with her advice and support, the Complete Works of Feng Zikai have been published, and her "Daddy Feng Zikai" and "Heaven is Thick to Me: The Self-Description of Feng Zikai's Daughter" have also been published.
