"Lin Huiyin is very beautiful and talented. She is very pretty, Lu Xiaoman is not pretty." Bing Xin once spoke highly of Lin Huiyin during the interview.
Because of the classmate relationship between their husbands Wu Wenzao and Liang Sicheng, Lin Huiyin and Bing Xin also became good girlfriends without saying anything.
During the time when they were studying abroad, the four people comforted each other, cheered each other up, and sometimes traveled together to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
But later, Lin Huiyin returned to China to hold a cultural salon symposium, but did not invite his friend Bing Xin to come to his home as a guest.
As far as Lin Huiyin is concerned, Bing Xin can no longer afford to be called friends and girlfriends, and the two people can only be regarded as ordinary friends.
Bing Xin and Lin Huiyin took a group photo
Bingxin was given vinegar by Lin Huiyin
The boat of friendship turned over, and the cause was because of a small poem by Bingxin.
The poem involves the gossip between Lin Huiyin and Xu Zhimo, and even more implicitly satirizes Lin Huiyin for misconduct, not keeping a distance from Xu Zhimo, and putting Liang Sicheng in an awkward position.
No matter what era, people love to listen to gossip, especially about the talented girl Lin Huiyin, and once the poem was published, it spread throughout the Republic of China.
There was a lot of discussion in the outside world, but Lin Huiyin, who was deep in the center of public opinion, had a hard time discerning, and at the same time, she didn't bother to explain anything.
What made Lin Huiyin most unacceptable was the betrayal from a good friend, and the taste of being stabbed in the back after being close to him was really uncomfortable.
Fame is heavier than heaven for a woman, and Bingxin, who comes from a traditional education, will know the importance of good reputation.
But Bing Xin still judged Lin Huiyin's private affairs, and perhaps her starting point was good.
Lin Hui's unique pride made it impossible for her to accept interfering in her private affairs in the name of being good for her.
Lin Huiyin
For Xu Zhimo, she had already made up her mind when she learned that the other party had a wife.
Smart as she is, proud as she is, no matter what, she will not eat back grass and be a third party to other people's feelings.
What's more, at this time, Lin Huiyin already had his own home, a career to fight for all his life, and Liang Sicheng knew each other.
But Xu Zhimo is a little different for her after all, putting aside the factor of love, they are still good friends in poetry and song, and in life.
She couldn't, and didn't want to, because of the past, for fear that outsiders would misunderstand and break off contact with him.
In 1931, Xu Zhimo took a plane crash, and the spearhead of public opinion was once again pointed at Lin Huiyin.
The fiercest accusation against her this time was actually Bingxin.
Xu Zhimo is their mutual friend, and Bing Xin believes that Xu Zhimo's accident occurred because of the accident that occurred in a hurry to meet lin Huiyin, and Lin should bear great responsibility.
According to Bingxin's logic, Xu Zhimo was tired of earning money in order to provide for Lu Xiaoman to teach in the three places, and even they had quarreled the night before, whether Lu Xiaoman's responsibility was greater.
Wanting to add to the guilt, Bing Xin vented his dissatisfaction with Lin Huiyin on Xu Zhimo's crash.
At this point, Lin Huiyin's sisterhood with Bingxin was also left in Bingxin's constant accusations.
Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin
Lin Huiyin held a party at home, invited talented women to his home to discuss current affairs and appreciate poetry, but he never invited Bing Xin.
She won't be okay, inviting people who don't like her to target herself and embarrass her.
On the other hand, Bing Xin saw that the salon gathering was becoming more and more famous in the literati circle, and Lin Hui was obviously deliberately targeting himself because he did not invite himself.
What makes her even more angry is that Lin Huiyin has another blue-faced confidant, Jin Yuelin.
The other party not only became a neighbor of the Liang family, but also ate and worked with Lin Huiyin at the Liang family most of the time, and even made a joke that Lin Huiyin's colleagues liked two people.
In Bingxin's concept, she did not look down on the behavior of "good friends".
After that, Bing Xin wrote the short story "Our Wife's Living Room" as before.
"Our wife is very remorseful at this time, if it were not for all the comfort and convenience, perhaps he would no longer be our husband!" But after all, the husband is no better than others, and all kinds of comfort and convenience are also of great benefit to our wife."
sour! Too sour!
The rhetoric is sharp but full of vinegar, satirizing Lin Hui's material conditions for abandoning love and choosing Liang Sicheng, a selfish and intelligent woman.
Regretting Xu Zhimo's death and jealousy of Lin Huiyin, why can Lin win the admiration and concern of Xu Zhimo, Liang Sicheng, and Jin Yuelin?
Behind lin Huiyin's harshness, there may be a hint of bingxin's desire to pursue romance, after all, Wu Wenzao is famous for mu ne, and he can't do the small surprises in marriage.
Jin Yuelin
Jin Yuelin, who has seen "Our Wife's Living Room", said a sentence, "Like the young grandmother in the 30s who did not know how to hate the country."
It can be seen how unbearable Lin Huiyin is in Bingxin's article.
Lin Huiyin can be liked by many people because she is decent, did not run over to explain, did not scold like a shrew.
As she was inspecting in Shanxi, she sent a pot of old vinegar to Bingxin, and Ming Huang said, "You are sour, you are jealous, you can't get it."
The feud between Bing Xin and Lin Huiyin has not been reconciled, and the entanglement has continued to the next generation.
Later, when the publisher wanted to include Lin Huiyin's article and put it in the selected series of works of women writers in the Republic of China, Lin's son Liang Congjie refused the publisher's request because Bing Xin was the honorary editor-in-chief of the series.
Zhang Ailing satirized Bingxin
At a party, Zhang Ailing said: "Bingxin's Qingwan is often contrived, and I am not happy to compare it with her."
The ice heart in her eyes is a pretentious white lotus, and the unintentional tenderness of her works gives people false fantasies.
Zhang Ailing's dislike of Bingxin may lie in the fact that Bingxin's childhood and marriage are the luxuries she pursues all her life.
She came from a lonely aristocratic family, and her father Zhang Tingzhong and her mother Huang Yifan were arranged marriages.
Before the age of 3 is Zhang Ailing's limited memory of love, her father will teach her mother English, her mother will smile softly, she is the treasure in the palm of her parents.
After the age of 3, the dream shattered, and the mother complained that her father was a feudal, squandered brother, drinking, smoking black cigarettes, playing with women, and willingly degenerating.
The father blamed the mother for attracting bees and butterflies, and was uneasy in the room.
Huang Yifan couldn't see Zhang Tingzhong's style, and sometimes he would be kind and dissuaded, hoping that the other party could get rid of bad problems and live a good life.
Her dissuasion was not only useless, but it would also cause Zhang Ting to smash the table and smash the chair, and he would not return home at night.
Huang Yifan
The hopeless marriage made Huang Yifan depressed, she desperately wanted to breathe the air of freedom, she had that strength.
Mother Huang Yifan went abroad to study, and his father Zhang Tingzhong was still a homeless wanderer, and the family was shrouded in a layer of sad haze, only Zhang Ailing and her brother were companions.
Zhang Ailing felt that her life was dark, confused and at a loss.
"Sitting in my father's study, the dusk of the sky shines obliquely, and I feel that it is constantly sinking, and the world around me is constantly sinking."
Xiao Zhang Ailing sometimes wonders if she is too disobedient to her parents.
One day, her mother, Huang Yifan, suddenly returned, without smiling with imagination, but just touched her head: "Remember, girls must read more."
After the mother finished speaking, she dragged her suitcase and never returned home, and the father found a stepmother for her and her brother after the mother left.
Zhang ailing
In Zhang Ailing's eyes, the stepmother is the one who snatched her father and made him ignore her.
She naturally did not have a good face for her stepmother, and her stepmother did not like the disobedient daughter left by the original partner.
During an argument, the stepmother blamed Zhang Ailing for disrespecting her elders and slapped her in anger.
Zhang Ailing couldn't bear the unpleasant stepmother, raised her hand to try to return the slap, but was stopped by the maid halfway through.
Without waiting for Zhang Ailing to find her father to complain, her stepmother went to Zhang Tingzhong first to apply eye drops: "Ailing is too ignorant, I said a few words to her, she still wants to beat me."
Zhang Tingzhong, unable to distinguish between curves and straights, beat Zhang Ailing fiercely and threw her daughter with a blue nose and swollen face to the room for strict supervision.
Physical injuries, coupled with grievances in her heart, Zhang Ailing's resistance declined, and she suffered from dysentery during the period of thinking in the room.
The servants of the house knew that she was not welcomed by the hostess, that none of her biological fathers had ever visited her, and that no one in the servants cared about her life or death.
When her health is better, Zhang Ailing escapes from home to seek refuge from her mother Huang Yifan, who thinks that the days with her mother are another abyss.
After her divorce, Huang Yifan lived on the dowry given by her previous family - 2 boxes of antiques and jewelry.
Although she shouts for freedom and being a new-age woman, she has no earning ability, and relies on eating old money to provide for her luxurious life and subsidize her boyfriend.
After her daughter defected to her, Huang Yifan spent a lot of money to let Zhang Ailing go to an aristocratic school and asked a personal tutor to tutor her homework.
Huang Yifan will always say to his daughter in a serious tone: "It is not easy for me to provide you with reading, and I must be grateful to my mother."
This kind of talk is too much, Zhang Ailing's guilt in her heart has increased sharply, she is afraid to open her mouth to ask for money, and try to write more books.
"I always want to make more money and pay back the money."
Zhang Ailing's feelings about maternal love have become measurable in money.
The lack of love in childhood gave her a distorted understanding of love, and praying for the love of others became her lifelong obsession.
In the first relationship, Zhang Ailing met Sang Arc, and the inferiority psychology made her dare not take a step, and eventually became a regret.
In the second relationship, Zhang Ailing met Hu Lancheng, and the true love she thought was interfering in someone else's marriage and was hurt the most.
In the third relationship, she met Laiya, who was 29 years older, and was willing to be bland, only because he understood her.
Zhang Ailing's life is unfortunate and sad. As she is, her work reflects experiences, doubts about parenthood, doubts about marriage.
When she found that her missing warm family and marriage appeared on Bingxin at the same time, she began to become irrational.
The existence of the ice heart can be said to be the darling of heaven.
She was a princess raised by her parents, her mother was a gentle and gentle family woman under traditional education, and her father was a soldier with strong patriotic feelings.
Full of love for the family, Bing Xin is more to feel the goodwill, after growing up, she chose the medical profession that can treat the disease and save people.
Even if she later abandoned the medical profession because of the enthusiasm of the patriotic movement, she entered Yenching University without much pressure, and then got a scholarship to study in the United States.
In the United States, Bing Xin met Wu Wenzao, and the two people naturally fell in love and got married, and spent their lives together.
Bing Xin and Wu Wenzao
In her stable and rich life, the only thing that was deficient was her appearance.
Looking at the talented women of the Republic of China, Bingxin's appearance can only be regarded as Qingxiu, compared with Lu Xiaoman, Lin Huiyin, and Zhang Ailing, she is an ordinary passerby.
This is a little regret of her inadequacy, this regret is negligible, she stands tall with her talent, and beauty is only a blessing.
Zhang Ailing contrasted with Bingxin's happiness, the former underground, the latter in heaven.
As a talented woman, other aspects will naturally be compared, and there will be contradictions when the gap comes out.
Zhang Ailing's dislike of Bingxin also has a suitable reason.
Lu Xun looked down on Bingxin
In addition to the above 2 women expressing displeasure with Bingxin, Lu Xun also looked down on Bingxin.
The right and wrong between the women are somewhat stingy, and Lu Xun's displeasure with Bingxin is from a high-level perspective.
Lu Xun
Lu Xun is a warrior who uses paper as a battlefield, pen as a spear, and faces the darkness of society.
Bing Xin has also written articles commenting on current affairs, and has also been banned by the authorities, which shows that there are still some profound degrees.
Lu Xun heard that the Bingxin article was banned, but he was a little displeased: "The level of those in power is not good, and the kind of articles that float on the surface and are stacked with beautiful words can still be banned?" ”
He believes that Bingxin's article has too many technical components, and the profundity is really difficult to be elegant.
In addition to comments on social events, another part of Bingxin's article mainly calls for love, about maternal love, innocence, and beautiful things.
In Lu Xun's view, these articles are worthless and do not apply to the current environment.
The intention to survive, and too cowardly, will end up dying.
Ice heart
At that time, China was in a deep and fiery situation, and the people needed to awaken their consciousness and need to completely innovate and regain a new life by breaking through the courage to overcome all difficulties.
Only words and blood and tears, putting the dark and cruel reality on the stage, and using the blood of compatriots to evoke the blood of sleeping Chinese can survive.
Lu Xun's dislike of BingXin was mainly due to the difference in the two people's concepts, not that he disliked her as a person.
epilogue
During the Republic of China period, there were many people who had opinions about Bingxin, and these people either did not like Bingxin's life in the world, or did not like her works.
It is undeniable that Bing Xin is a patriotic writer, and her works have given some people warmth and supported them through a long way.
These supported her to be able to occupy a place in the literary world, but no one is perfect, and if God gives her something, it will take some from the other side, and future generations should look at Bingxin from a dialectical point of view.
