Sure enough, Zhang Ailing
——
This opposite, using a very "Zhang Ailing" cold knife, wrote a ma oil merchant woman Cao Qiqiao, was "married" into a large family of disabled second young master, suffered all kinds of human nature torture, and finally became distorted, obedient, and personally "revenge" the "perverted" story of her children's life, once published, almost detonated the entire (Shanghai) "literary circle" .
Among them, Mr. Fu Lei is even more "in love" praise:
"'The Golden Lock' is Ms. Zhang's most perfect work so far, with the flavor of some of the stories in "Diary of a Madman". At least it should be one of the most beautiful harvests for our literary world. ”
"Fan" Mr. Xia Zhiqing even gave "The Golden Lock" an exciting reputation as "China's greatest novella since ancient times".
For Zhang Ailing, during this period, she can really break free of the "golden cage" and get the freedom to "choose" herself.
Moreover, with the talent of self-proclaimed "genius", he traveled to the Shanghai literary scene, and there were new works every month, and the new works were published every time they received more praise, of course, the income was also quite rich.
Fortunately, even under the embrace of this blossoming flower, Zhang Ailing has not lost her unique "sharp edge", just like the "cruel" analysis of reality in the previous work "Glazed Tiles", the next new work "Golden Lock" is even more vividly showing the world, a life of universal female "perversion" who is hateful and sad in a flashy ocean society.
It is a kind of "anti-contrasting" ugliness to fiercely attack the era of materialism and nihilism of "Shanghai";
It is also hoped that the impact and consequences of such extreme and tragic acts will be used to warn the "women" in this situation, so as to get the "seeing" of the society of that era;
It is even more a lingering lament and sadness, when the war is about to come, the evil of human nature is even more nakedly placed on the stage, can not escape, can not avoid, can not resist, can only suffer in silence, or "disappear"...
Cao Qiqiao's Good and Evil: The Path of the "Flower of Evil" of Ma You Xi Shi
"Evil is a flower, its color is bright and cold, its fragrance is strong and far away, its posture is pretty and strange, its height is high and quiet.
It blooms on the edge of hell. ”
- Baudelaire

In his speech at the Beijing Women's High School, Mr. Lu Xun mentioned that there are only two ways for Nala to fall or to come back. Mies van was the former, degenerating from a schoolgirl of literature and art to a mediocre woman who gambled all day. This is an inner destruction and a limitation of women. After experiencing the May Fourth women's writing, Zhang Ailing is destined to take a step forward than her predecessor writers in presenting the female internal experience, and she no longer flaunts a splendid embroidery full of lice crawling inside and already moths in the way of piecing together fragments of traditional female roles, in order to avoid her own destruction, but to penetrate the sick women with an narcissistic voice, so that they are truly killed from the position of 'beautiful' in line with the norm.
Zhang Ailing has a sharp eye, using unique housing imagery to show women's psychological transformation, analyzing how women are step by step to destruction in the persecution of the outside world and their own pathology, so as to explore women's survival dilemma from their own weaknesses and limitations, which is the third layer of metaphorical meaning of "black room", which symbolizes the survival dilemma of women in the process of pursuing light and the eventual destruction of light.
If it is said that "women are like flowers and need the nourishment of love", then on the basis of their lack of love, Cao Qiqiao of "The Golden Lock" can only desperately grasp money and opium, and use these two things to blackmail and mutilate a pair of children; while The Honey Autumn Of "Second Burning Incense" deliberately does not teach her daughter "sexual knowledge", directly leading to the breakdown of their marriage, and then successfully keeps her daughter around forever.
This "toxic" maternal love not only harms themselves, but also harms their daughters' lives.
01, "toxic" language: ruin the happiness of the daughter
Cao Qiqiao in "The Book of the Golden Lock" was born humble, even if he married a disabled young master from a rich family, he was still scorned and ridiculed, and under the torture of the big family's "eating people and deceiving people", this woman who lived a widow's life was gradually corroded by wealth and lust;
She lived repressively for decades, her twisted mentality became more and more obedient, her words and deeds were vulgar and snobbish, and she was vitriolous, and eventually became a "toxic" mother, while her daughter Chang'an unfortunately became the first victim.
"I don't look good, I can't marry, and I complain about my delay in being a mother!"
"Not ashamed! What's wrong with you having something in your stomach that can't be put away? Burning eyebrows, can't wait to go through the door! ”
To humiliate her daughter's dignity and self-confidence is something she enjoys tirelessly.
Life is a splendid robe, crawling with fleas. "So maverick, maybe it's Zhang Ailing." Among the writers of the Republic of China era, Zhang Ailing was an outlier.
On September 8, 1995, Zhang Ailing died at her apartment in California. At the end of the month, her former friends held a memorial service for her and scattered her ashes into the Pacific Ocean.
Zhang Ailing has written the novel collection "Legend", and her life is also legendary. Her life has always been like this: "Born in this world, there is no feeling that is not full of holes." "As with her life, her love.
