Maugham, the author of The Moon and Sixpence, stuttered badly, and after a shower, his male qing, Gerald, asked him, "Are you XX?" Maugham said slowly, "Touch... touch... touch... Coincidence, no... not... No. "This great writer who earns more than a billion yuan by writing is not only a double-star lover, but also a spy.
William Somerset Maugham was born in Paris on 25 January 1874 to the son of a lawyer who served at the British Embassy in France. Born in such a family, Maugham should have grown up happily, but he lost his mother at the age of 8 and his father at the age of 10, becoming an orphan who tasted the cold and warmth of the world prematurely.
He was sent back to England and raised by his uncle who was a priest. The uncle treated him harshly, and when he was in a good mood, he would reward little Maugham with an egg tip to eat. Because of his short stature and stuttering, Maugham was often bullied by older children at school.
Once Maugham went to the queue to buy tickets, but when it was his turn, he was driven out of the crowd because of his stuttering, and had to re-queue at the end of the line. These experiences have developed Maugham's introverted and somewhat autistic personality.
Growing up, Maugham chose to study medicine and qualified as a surgeon. However, he was born a novelist, and during his medical studies, he began to write novels, and in 1897 he published his first novel, "The Lisa of Lambeth", after which he became famous and rich at the age of 34.
Although Maugham lived a depressed life in his youth, he never delayed falling in love, in his own words: "From the age of fifteen to fifty, I have been in love." "In fact, after he was seventy years old, he never stopped.
Maugham is short, but his face is high, and his side face is very attractive. He has had a lot of affairs throughout his life, and has had fixed partnerships with 2 women and 2 men, and has countless private lovers.
Maugham knew he was a double lover at the age of 20. He said of himself: "Three-quarters like women and a quarter like men." "In fact, Maugham prefers men to xing more, and some people say that Maugham has shuined half the handsome guys of half the world.
In fact, when Maugham's love sinus first opened, the first thing he liked was the opposite sex. The woman, Named Sue Jones, was beautiful and messy, and the two had been together for eight years, when Maugham was so fascinated by her that he wanted to marry her.
Sue Jones rejected him and said directly, "You can sleep with me, you want to marry me, it's impossible." Shortly after saying this, Sue Jones turned around and married the son of an earl.
This hurt the young Maugham, but no one can say how he became a lover, he had a wife. At that time, Maugham had gained fame and fortune, and the philanthropist's daughter, Siri Wilcomb, took a fancy to him, and in order to marry Maugham, she conceived his child and divorced her original husband.
Maugham and Siri are married. After marriage they gave birth to a daughter. It's just that he doesn't like married life, hates Siri, and shouts "She turned my life into hell." The reason for this is that Maugham has a real partner by his side.
It was before he married Siri, during World War I, when 40-year-old Maugham fell in love with 22-year-old American boy Gerald Huxton. For most of the time thereafter, Maugham lived with Gerald. Together, they toured China, India, Latin America and other places.
Siri eventually fell out in the cold and ended a ten-year marriage with Maugham. To this end, Maugham paid the price of 1 large house, 1 Rolls-Royce, and 24 million pounds of alimony per year. Maybe Maugham agreed to get married, maybe to hide his xing orientation.
In england at that time, the same xing lovers were despised and considered unforgivable for their sins of bad manners. His contemporary, Wang Erlie, was sent to prison for "broke back" defendants, forcing Maugham to hide his feelings.
Gerald died of illness at the age of 51, and the 70-year-old Maugham wept in spite of the image. He said sadly: "The best times of my life, those wandering times are inextricably linked to him, and everything I have written for the past thirty years has been related to him, even if it is just the manuscript he helped me to type." ”
But soon, Maugham's male secretary, Alan, became his new favorite, and his reliance and comfort in his later years. However, Ellen was not so pure with Maugham and always provoked Maugham's relationship with his daughter.
Maugham died in France on 16 December 1965 at the age of 91. His daughter received only one house, and all the rest of the estate was inherited and squandered by Alan.
In his later years, Maugham said that his true self was like this: "I am one in four normal, and three-quarters are in love with Xing. But I tried to convince myself that three-quarters normal, one-quarter in love, was my biggest mistake. ”
This great writer of double love, because of his high popularity, proficiency in 6 languages, and understanding of the customs and customs of various parts of Europe, was arranged by the British secret service in the First World War to engage in espionage work.
He gathered enemy information in Geneva; sent an envoy to Russia to dissuade Russia from withdrawing from the war. This life of spies and spies was written by him into the spy novel "Ashington". During World War II, Maugham re-emerged and served under William Stevenson, the British Intelligence Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service.
Maugham was a prolific writer who wrote more than 100 short stories, more than 20 novels, and more than 30 plays in his lifetime, and his works are still loved by readers. And his life experience is far more exciting than his novel.
Selena Hastings, author of Maugham, said of him: "Maugham is the sum of the following labels: a reclusive child, a medical student, a creative novelist, a debauched prodigal son of Paris.
A successful West End dramatist in London, a British socialite, an ambulance driver on the front lines of Flanders during World War I, and a British spy who infiltrated Russia to work.

A legendary figure who maintains his vitality through tissue therapy, and a stubborn old man who adopts his secretary in a Qing who tries not to let his daughter inherit the property. "After reading, like comments and forward.
