Hefei Zhangjia four sisters and Song sisters, are the Republic of China women's heavenly group, these four sisters are celebrities in the cultural circles, the circle of friends do not know how many well-known Republic of China celebrities, and the Zhang family sisters through the years, sisters still have affection.
As a person with zero points in mathematics like Qian Zhongshu, Hu Shi and Peking University admissions teacher PK can recruit special enrollment, which also proves her talent from the side.
During the Republic of China, masters, Lu Xiaoman, Lin Huiyin, Xu Zhimo, Bian Zhilin, Ba Jin, etc. were all in a circle, and there would inevitably be sparks between them.
You stand on the bridge and look at the view,
The people watching the view are upstairs watching you.
The bright moon decorates your window,
You decorate someone else's dream...
When I first heard this poem, I was extremely amazed, and I thought what kind of person can make the author unforgettable for a long time?
It was not until many years later that I learned that the protagonist who was watched was Zhang Chonghe, who was good at calligraphy, could know Kunqu opera, and was a goddess in the hearts of a generation of literati.
It is said that in 1933, the poet Bian Zhilin visited Shen Congwen's family, and as soon as Bian Zhilin, who was already famous at that time, entered the door, he saw a fashionable woman wearing a little red riding hood, she was Shen Congwen's sister-in-law Zhang Chonghe, because the two were still alumni of Peking University, Bian Zhilin's heart was even closer.
Later, in order to express his love, he wrote hundreds of letters to express his heartfelt feelings, but the word "love" never came out of his mouth, he always used to use Hongyan to pass on the book, and those bold and new women in the Republic of China did not like this type, if you want to love you boldly say it, silently writing letters can not impress her. In fact, now it is the same, there are still many boys who entrust people or express themselves in other strange ways after seeing the girl they like for the first time, and the girl will think that even this bit of courage is not there, what do you want to use?
Moreover, good at poetry and painting, Kunqu Zhang Chong and around there are no lack of suitors, want to play Du Liniang that year, a voice will make the mountain city cultural circles sensational, in 1946, UNESCO came to Suzhou to investigate, Zhang Chonghe in the Humble Administrator's Garden continued to dream, 6 consecutive performances, until tired vomiting blood.
Even if this love persists for at least 15 years, the last thing that awaits is still the news that Zhang Chonghe is married to the Jewish scholar Fu Hansi.
Fu Hansi, also a generation of people, linguists, participated in the translation of the English version of the Twenty-Four Histories. The two fell in love for a year and married, went to the United States, in the first 10 years or so, Fu Hansi could not find a job, it was Zhang Chonghe who worked as a librarian for 8 years for her husband to continue to study, Fu Hansi had the opportunity to enter Yale University.
Ye Shengtao once said: "The four girls of the Zhang family in Jiuru Lane, whoever marries them will be happy for a lifetime." "It's true that no matter who they combine, they can live a good life."
So Fu Hansi became the consort of Gu Chuanjiu, a kunqu student, Zhou Youguang, a linguist, and Shen Congwen, a well-known writer.
Both later taught at Yale, and many years later, the two collaborated on the English translation of the Book Score and the Continuation Book Score. Moreover, during his time in the United States, Zhang Chonghe did not forget to spread Kunqu opera, performed in many top universities, disseminated Kunqu opera, and established the Kunqu Opera Society, which directly made the garden dream amazing overseas.
So how did such a talented woman become?
First look at her family background, she is the great-granddaughter of Zhang Shusheng, the governor of Liangguang, the daughter of Suzhou educator Zhang Wuling, the uncle and grandmother who inherited the daughter of Li Hongzhang's four brothers from childhood, received the most classical education in childhood, and later received a new education in Shanghai.
Looking at her temperament, in the face of the bombardment of hundreds of love poems by a romantic poet like Bian Zhilin, she was not at all moved, neither green tea hung him, nor embarrassed him in public, did not force herself when to marry, but found a foreign husband at the age of 34, at that time, 34 years old can be said to be older.
But she does not lack suitors, nor does she give up on herself, her family and talent allow her to contact the most cultured group of people, so the spirit is more independent, such a woman, married or not, will be happy. Even when he reaches the age of 100, he still writes and reads in the early days, and his life is sound and colorful, there is no heart of struggle, and he will always be indifferent.
In the early morning of June 18, 2015, Zhang Chonghe, who was known as the last talented woman, completed 102 years and drove the crane to the west. Her life, not as controversial as Lin Huiyin, has never been publicized, she has always been committed to making Chinese culture blossom and bear fruit overseas, the so-called Tao Li is not a woman like her.
