Chinese culture is profound and profound, the meaning of the text is far-reaching, in the Republic of China period of the replacement of the old and the new, intellectuals pay more attention to the names of the younger generations, with noble names seem to be able to highlight the identity, reflect the status, but not every name with noble can be welcomed, such as this woman who was excluded by her classmates because of her noble name.
She was ostracized by her classmates because her name was too educated, and when the principal changed her name, she became popular overnight. Who is this woman? What is the name after the change? What kind of legendary life did she have?
The pearl in the palm of the Shuxiang Mendi
As a symbol of a person's external communication, the name can not only reflect the taste of the parents, but also more or less reflect the personality of a person, the good name is refreshing, the memory is still fresh, and the good feeling is straight and added, such as the figure skater Yusheng knot.
At this year's Winter Olympics, many people joked: "One of the reasons why Japan's Yusuke Yusuke is so popular with everyone is not only because of his near-perfect figure skating performance, but also because he has a heartwarming name, if his name is Ichiro Kameda, maybe others will have a good impression of him."
Although it is a joke, it can be seen that the importance of a name for a person, and the change in the woman's life after the name change is even more emotional: how important the name is.
The woman was born in 1914 in Changsha, Hunan Province, an intellectual family, her birth made the Wang family rejoice, his father Wang Zhengquan looked at his little daughter with pink cheeks full of love, he hoped that his palm pearl could spend every day smoothly and safely, so he named it "Shu Xi" with the phrase "Allow hundreds of workers, Shu Ji Xian Xi" in the Book of Shang.
This name has a good meaning and deep culture, which can highlight the family style of the Wang family, but it has invisibly brought great trouble to this little girl.
Wang Zhengquan is a teacher and staff member of the First Normal School in Hunan Province, his wife is a rich woman, although the Wang family is not a well-known family in the local area, but compared with many families, the Wang family is relatively well-off, which provides a better material foundation for the growth of the younger daughter.
Different from the son preference of other families, the Wang family attaches great importance to the cultivation of their daughters, and Shu Xi is good at calligraphy, poetry and song at a young age, and is a high-value little talented woman.
The expensive girl who is in a dilemma to survive
If it were not for the sudden changes in the family, Xiao Shuxi who grew up must also be one of the more famous talented women in the Republic of China period, but the world is uncertain, and it is impossible to predict the accident and which will come first tomorrow.
In 1921, Wang Shuxi's mother died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and Xiao Shuxi, who was only seven years old, lost her mother who loved her and protected her overnight. Five years later, her father was stung by a wasp, suppurative infection, and died of illness shortly after, and 12-year-old Xiao Shuxi lost her parents one after another, which was a fatal blow to a girl who did not understand the world.
Xiao Shuxi stood in front of her parents' grave and wept bitterly, fortunately, Xiao Shuxi still had her brother to help her, although she was in pain when she lost her parents, she did not collapse, and she was strong in her bones, and she continued to study under the encouragement of her brother. In 1926, the 12-year-old Xiao Shuxi was admitted to the Hunan First Normal Girls' School with high scores, and because her brother needed to go to Shanghai to develop, she followed her brother from Hunan to bustling Shanghai.
The young Shu Xi was shocked when she came to shanghai, which was bustling with traffic, and unlike the quiet simplicity of her hometown, the prosperity of Shanghai deeply shocked Xiao Shu xi's heart. Looking at the bright and beautiful Female Star of Shanghai, Xiao Shuxi couldn't help but sigh with great emotion: "One day, I will also become a star with propaganda newspapers."
Most young girls have dreams of stardom, but Xiao Shuxi may not have thought that before long, she not only made her dreams come true, but also became a hot female star in Shanghai.
Shu Xi always maintains a heart of hard work, let the Shanghai environment is impetuous, she can still calm down and study hard, this accumulation of knowledge makes her "belly with poetry and book temperament", laying the groundwork for her to enter the art school in the future. In 1927, she was admitted to the Shanghai Meimei School with excellent grades and good looks, and began to study song, dance and artistic performance at the Meimei School.
A different life to change your name
This girls' school is quite famous in Shanghai for its high teaching quality, and its founder, Li Jinhui, attaches great importance to tapping into the strengths of each student, and there are not a few big stars and actors who graduated from the Meimei School.
When Li Jinhui first saw this little girl with thick eyebrows, big eyes and outstanding temperament, she felt that this girl would definitely become a talent with a little training in the future.
However, when asked about Wang Shuxi's name, Li Jinhui frowned: "The most taboo name in the art industry is that it is inconvenient for the audience to remember, and second, during the period of getting along with classmates, there may be a certain estrangement." However, out of respect for the new students, he did not immediately propose the name change, but waited and watched.
Sure enough, when Wang Shuxi first enrolled, her name was too "noble" to attract the sneering of her classmates, most of the female students in this school came from ordinary families, and their names were more grounded and sounded more affinity. The name "Wang Shuxi" is not only difficult to say, but also obscure, coupled with the fact that she has just arrived in the new environment and does not like to talk, she has gradually become the object of exclusion from her classmates.
The class girls thought that Wang Shuxi was difficult to get along with, and unconsciously stayed away from Wang Shuxi, so that Wang Shuxi had no friends for a long time and felt lonely.
After Li Jinhui learned of this matter, he called Wang Shuxi to talk with him, and he said softly to Wang Shuxi: "Your name is good, but in the art industry, you need to change a name called Grounded Gas, why don't you call Wang Renmei?" ”
At that time, Wang Shuxi wanted to learn song and dance well and integrate into the class, and did not care too much about the name, so he agreed to the suggestion of the principal Li Jinhui and renamed her "Ren" for her, breaking the traditional idea that girls in the Wang family could not use the word "ren".
After the name change, Wang Shuxi, who knew the book and was good at ceremony, became a Wang Renmei who could sing and dance, perhaps opening up the artistic road, and she was "grounded" not only mixed well in the class, but also learned a variety of performance methods by herself.
Wang Renmei may not be the most beautiful girl in the class, but she is definitely the smartest girl in the class, she is intelligent and studious, one point is clear, and she is deeply appreciated by the teachers: "This girl is a good seedling for being an actor." ”
