Zhang Ailing wrote a book exposing Fu Lei's extramarital affair, which triggered a long-term grudge between the two, and in her later years, Ailing regretted not being at the beginning

On December 4, 1982, Zhang Ailing specially wrote a letter to her good friend Song Qi, in which she wrote:

I decided not to include "Yin Baoxuan Sending Flowers to the Louhui" into the novel collection, and today it seems that this one is really too bad to receive.

Song Qi is a friend who is responsible for compiling a collection of novels for Zhang Ailing, and when she received a letter from Zhang Ailing, she felt very inexplicable, because in Song Qi's view, this novel is still good in terms of content, writing, and conception, why did she choose to abandon it?

For Song Qi's doubts, Zhang Ailing also explained in the letter, she said that the prototype of the protagonist of this novel is Fu Lei.

Seeing this, Song Qi has understood that the original "bad" mentioned by Zhang Ailing does not mean that the writing and content of this novel are not good enough, but that the protagonist is written too badly.

In this regard, Song Qi has nothing to say, after all, the grudge between Zhang Ailing and Fu Lei has been concluded for many years, and Zhang Ailing seems to be "reviewing" by saying so.

It was only when Zhang Ailing wrote this letter that 16 years had passed since Fu Lei and his wife Zhu Meifu had committed suicide.

The festival between Zhang Ailing and Fu Lei was almost well known in the cultural circle at that time, but if you want to ask the festival between the two of them, why it came from, not many people know.

In the novel "Yin Baoxuan Sending Flowers to the Louhui", the protagonist Luo Qianzhi is a strange, poor, and even somewhat neurotic image, the key is that Luo Qianzhi is still cheating in marriage, so is this matter Zhang Ailing's fiction?

Of course not, Fu Lei has also done the same thing, and the object is Zhang Ailing's good friend Cheng Jialiu, so since Zhang Ailing dared to write a book to expose Fu Lei's extramarital affair, which in turn triggered a grudge between the two people and even the two families for many years, why did Zhang Ailing regret writing this book in her later years?

Critic - Fu Lei

Many people may not be familiar with Fu Lei, but presumably they should have heard of Fu Lei's family letter, which caused a great sensation when it was published, and to this day, it is still a best-selling book, which is a family letter written by Fu Lei and his wife to their son Fu Cong and daughter-in-law Mila, compiled by Fu Lei's second son Fu Min.

The concept of education of children contained in it is very worthy of reference, and it is precisely because of this family letter that Fu Lei's image in the minds of the people is very tall.

As a literati, Fu Lei's literary attainments are very high, he is an extremely famous translator and literary critic, and many of the French masterpieces we see now are actually translated by Fu Lei.

Therefore, in the literary circles at that time, Fu Lei's fame and prestige were quite high, in addition to translating foreign masterpieces, Fu Lei would also comment on some well-known writers in China.

Isn't the book written for others to read, and it was a relatively fortunate thing to get Fu Lei's comments at that time.

However, when Fu Lei evaluates a book, he never cares about what the author will think, always say what he thinks, and sometimes, he knows that the words he says will hurt others, but Fu Lei does not care about these.

It is precisely because of this that Fu Lei is not pleasing, and Zhang Ailing's grudge with Fu Lei began precisely because fu Lei commented on Zhang Ailing's book.

Knife mouth - Zhang Ailing

Zhang Ailing is an undisputed talented woman of the Republic of China, her works are still loved by countless people, and I have also been infected by Zhang Ailing's words, so that I have become an authentic Zhang Fan.

But when I read "Yin Baoxuan Sending Flowers to the Building", I felt very inexplicable, because the story in the book was a bit confusing, and it seemed that some of it did not resemble Zhang Ailing's style.

Later, after understanding it, I learned that this novel is actually more like Zhang Ailing's revenge, revenge on whom?

Fu Lei, of course.

She used Fu Lei as the prototype to create Luo Qianzhi and outlined a disgusting villain appearance, and I have to say that Zhang Ailing's text is really without any emotion.

Combined with the time of creation of this novel and what happened to Zhang Ailing, we can know that this novel was created after Fu Lei 'criticized' Zhang Ailing's article.

In 1944, a man with the pen name Xunyu published a review article in Vientiane called "On Zhang Ailing's Novel", in which Zhang Ailing's most proud "Love in the Fallen City" commented:

Like the body of the Six Dynasties, although it is pearlescent, it is empty inside, with neither true joy nor bitter sorrow.

Such a comment for Zhang Ailing, is undoubtedly burned in the internal fire, and later after learning that Xunyu is Fu Lei, Zhang Ailing immediately wrote "His Own Article" to pay tribute to Fu Lei.

However, such a return seems to make Zhang Ailing feel very angry, so she wrote "Yin Baodian Sending Flowers to the Louhui", and did not hesitate to expose Fu Lei's extramarital affair, but also made a friend an innocent victim.

Innocent - Chengjia Liu

In 1932, Fu Lei married his fiancée Zhu Meifu, the two formed a small family, the marriage was once very sweet, Zhu Meifu is a newly educated oriental woman, she is considerate, quiet, hospitable, tolerant, is a good wife.

In life, Fu Lei does not have to worry about life at all, and at work, Zhu Meifu is his right-hand man, as long as it is What Fu Lei likes, Zhu Meifu likes, according to her words, to love a man is to respect his heart.

Having such a wife, Fu Lei was really fortunate in three lifetimes.

However, he did not cherish it, and the person who broke into their lives was Zhang Ailing's good friend Cheng Jia Liu, and Cheng Jia Liu was often tormented by this relationship with Fu Lei, in order to relieve her inner depression, she told Zhang Ailing about this matter.

However, she did not expect that Zhang Ailing would write this matter into her book in order to "revenge" Fu Lei, and she also became the prototype of Luo Qianzhi's mistress Yin Baoxuan in "Yin Baoyu Sending Flowers to the House".

After Zhang Ailing's "Yin Baoxuan Sending Flowers to the Building" was published, Cheng Jialiu hurriedly withdrew from this love triangle.

Think about it, although we are not very familiar with the matter of Fu Lei and Cheng Jialiu now, at that time, it must not be a secret, but even if it is not a secret, once it is broken, once it is announced to the public, who can bear this pressure?

At that time, Zhang Ailing wrote this novel, perhaps she was really relieved, but in her heart, this matter has always been a knot, so that she has not been able to unravel it for decades, as she said in her letter to Song Qi:

His girlfriend (Cheng Jia liu) really listened to me and went to the mainland, married an air force, and soon divorced, and I heard it with great remorse.

brief summary

Fu Lei is amorous, but also true love chengjia liu, the feelings of the two at that time, Fu Lei's wife Zhu Meifu is also clear, once, after a short period of time away from the family, Fu Lei even specifically asked his wife, saying that without her there would be no inspiration, and later the family durian really returned to Fu Lei's side.

That is to say, the three of them are under the same roof, they are clear to each other, and they can be at peace with each other.

But this matter was said by Zhang Ailing for a while, it changed the taste, although Zhang Ailing retaliated against Fu Lei's rhinoceros words when commenting on her article, but also buried the happiness of her friends, and it is precisely because of this that Zhang Ailing can not forget for decades, so that every time she thinks of this matter, she regrets it.

In her later years, Zhang Ailing chose to abandon this novel, perhaps as an explanation to her friends, but it was too late.
