Zhang ailing
Yang Dai and Zhang Ailing, with an age difference of 9 years, are both well-known and highly educated bridesmaids, and they have also become famous in the literary circles of the Republic of China in their youth.
The two talented girls rarely intersected before, but many years after Zhang Ailing's death, Yang Dai still issued a fierce criticism of Zhang Ailing in a letter to a friend.
"I think you all look up to Zhang Ailing too much, I have prejudices against her, my niece and Zhang are both students of St. Mary's Girls' School, and my niece said that Zhang Ailing is going to make a splash when she dies."
"Deliberately dressed strangely, want to attract people, but her appearance is very ugly, a face of "peanut rice" (youth beans), classmates look down on her. ”
"Let me be fair, she's writing good. But the mood is humble, and the women in her writing are all sexually hungry. ”
Zhang ailing
"The period of your life is different from mine, the days when you were not invaded by the Japanese Kou, in me, the traitors were the enemy and were intolerant of the traitors."
"The people in the 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle' are not in our eyes."
"Xia Zhiqing was very fond of Zhang Ailing, but he later told Qian Zhongshu that he was shocked to see Zhang Ailing at the beginning of the United States."
"She behaves unnaturally and looks terrible. Now her people glorify her as beautiful as she thinks she is (as evidenced by the photos). I haven't seen her. ”
When Mr. Yang Dai wrote this letter, he was already an old man who was nearly a hundred years old, and her letters were generally not long, but for Zhang Ailing, she wrote more than two hundred words.
Yang Chen
From appearance, behavior, and literary style to character and morality, Yang Dai can be described as a sharp criticism of Zhang Ailing in all directions.
Yang Dai even pulled out the perspective of the literary critic Xia Zhiqing as evidence, after all, Xia Zhiqing is indeed a famous "Zhang Fan", once said: "Anyone who Chinese should read Zhang Ailing." ”
It is very common for the literati of the Republic of China to pull "chains of contempt" on each other, and Zhang Ailing herself has bluntly ridiculed Bingxin and written novels with Fu Lei, but Yang Dai's ill feelings towards her are obviously more special.
After all, Mr. Yang Dai's personality is plain and humorous, the words left behind are simple and calm, and the hundred-year-old life is like a timeless poem, and the ups and downs can make her turn into a trickle.
Yang Chen
Yang Dai has such a personality, and there is no direct intersection with Zhang Ailing, so what exactly makes her nearly 100 years old and still criticizes?
"People in the 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere'" should be the answer.
What is meant by "people in the 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle'" is, in short, a traitor.
Born in 1911, Yang Dai's aggression against the land of China accompanied the entire first half of her life, and her hatred for the Japanese invaders and their traitors and minions was severe.

Yang Dai's dislike for Zhang Ailing is basically because Zhang Ailing's first husband was a traitor Hu Lancheng, and when the two were married, Hu Lancheng was a traitor, not a later one.
The Japanese aggressors have coveted China for many years, and their aggression against China is not only military, but also cultural.
Japan has a meticulous plan for China's cultural invasion, with strong oppression or targeted infiltration in sub-regions and sub-natures.
For example, when Tohoku was occupied by Japan, there was no Chinese taught in schools, students had to learn Japanese, and if they said Chinese in class, they would be physically punished by Japanese teachers and brutally promote cultural extermination.
Zhang ailing
As for the "Concession of Nations" and "Ten Mile Ocean Field" such as Shanghai, the way Japan adopts is to find gaps and infiltrate in everything possible.
On the one hand, they send their own "word thugs" into the media, universities, and publishing houses, occupy a prominent position, and use media weapons to fight information warfare and beautify aggression;
On the one hand, he looked for young writers who were shallow, famous and popular in the Shanghai literary scene, and coaxed and co-opted them, so that they unconsciously became eagle dogs serving the Japanese.
Hu Lancheng and Zhang Ailing happen to belong to these two types respectively, and as soon as the two meet, the sky thunders the earth fire, and Zhang Ailing desperately becomes the underground lover of Hu Lancheng, the husband of a wife.
Hu Lancheng is 14 years older than Zhang Ailing, and when the two first met, he not only had a wife and a concubine in the family, but he was already nearly confused.
Hu Lancheng
What kind of charm does Hu Lancheng have, so that Zhang Ailing, who is from a famous family and is the peak of his life, fell in love with him at first sight, and he did not hesitate to lose his reputation and want moths to put out the fire.
On February 28, 1906, Hu Lancheng was born in Hu Village, Xiabei Township, Shengxian County, Zhejiang Province, although not a rich family, but also a slightly thin-yielding farming and reading family.
Hu Lancheng's mother is a continuation, naturally there is a lot of difference in his father's age, I don't know if it is because of the old husband and young wife, Hu Father is very considerate of Hu Mother, and the husband and wife have a very good relationship.
Hu Lancheng has watched his father and mother's affection since he was a child, and he has heard the gentleness and smallness between men and women, and has become an amorous seed who is good at dealing with women.
Hu Lancheng's "amorous" is similar to Jia Baoyu, on the surface it seems to respect all women, but in fact it is ruthless to all women.
For Hu Lancheng, only a dead woman is the best woman, such as his original wife Tang Yufeng.
Zhang ailing
When Tang Yufeng was alive, she was just a country woman who made Hu Lancheng "unsatisfactory".
During his ten-year marriage with Hu Lancheng, Tang Yufeng served Hu Lancheng's adoptive mother and took care of household chores, and he had to hide far away, so as not to embarrass Hu Lancheng in front of his fashionable city colleagues.
At the same time, Tang Yufeng also had to endure Hu Lancheng's weeds. Saving money and raising money allows Hu Lancheng to have funds and drill up and down to seek fame and fortune.
Cold and heavy pressure, let Tang Yufeng overwork, but died at the age of 28, ironically, because of the early death, Tang Yufeng immediately became a cinnabar mole in Hu Lancheng's heart.
Tang Yufeng received comments before his death as "unsatisfactory", "dissatisfied", and rustic country woman, and after her death, she became Hu Lancheng's "Bai Suzhen", a white snake lady who loved crazy.
Naturally, hu Lancheng was not a prodigal son who turned back and regretted it, but used the dead as a archway to facilitate his mind control and PUA with other women.
The best thing Hu Lancheng is good at in his life is to take traditional Chinese culture out of context, use beautiful words, and play word games.
On the right is Zhang Ailing
This hand is used politically, that is, to dilute the atrocities of the Japanese with words, to beautify the surrender and treason of the traitors into peace and humiliation.
This trick is used against women, which is to hold the original match who died early on the altar, and only recognize Tang Yufeng as "the only wife from beginning to end".
He used seemingly affectionate words to reduce other women to "concubines" as a weapon of mind control.
Of course, this kind of Pi Li Yang Qiu, Zhang Ailing, a woman who will take words as life and love him deeply, will put it in her heart, and therefore grumpy.
In 1920, Zhang Ailing was born in Shanghai, when the Republic of China had been established for several years, and most of the eunuch families that had been in the late Qing Dynasty were in decline, and the Zhang family was one of them.
Zhang Ailing's father, Zhang Tingzhong, was the younger son of Zhang Peilun, a major minister in the late Qing Dynasty, his mother Li Juling was Zhang Peilun's step-wife, and his maternal grandfather was the famous late Qing dynasty giant Li Hongzhang.
Li Ju Lotus
Zhang Peilun was supported by Li Hongzhang when he was most frustrated in his life and became his staff and son-in-law, Li Jurong was 18 years younger than Zhang Peilun and was li Hongzhang's old daughter.
Zhang Peilun and Li Julian had a son and a daughter after marriage, and the son was Zhang Tingzhong, because his parents were born into famous families, and Zhang Tingzhong's education since childhood was extremely strict.
Zhang Ailing's feudal family always has perverted patriarchy and repressive women, but in fact, his father has a fairly open and advanced attitude in many ways.
It is also this attitude that brings Zhang Ailing a deformed family, broken family affection and an incomplete childhood, and eventually let her fall into the gentle trap of Hu Lancheng.
Zhang Ailing's mother, Huang Yifan, was also a prominent late Qing dynasty official eunuch, and her grandfather Huang Yisheng, like Zhang Peilun, was an important assistant to Li Hongzhang.
Huang Yifan was the concubine born of a concubine, but she and her twin brother Huang Dingzhu were the only two heirs of the Huang family, so the dowry was extremely rich.
The family foundation of the Zhang family is not thin, plus Zhang Tingzhong inherited the private property of his mother Li Jurong, so the small family composed of two people is not worried about eating and wearing.
Huang Yifan
However, the change from the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China was earth-shaking, and the Eight Strands of Literature that Zhang Tingzhong had learned since he was a child naturally had no place to play, and his career was also hopeless because of the lack of connections.
After the failure of a man's career, nine times out of ten will be contaminated with vices, and Zhang Tingzhong's vice is to smoke cigarettes and look for flowers and ask for willows.
Huang Yifan is a woman with a natural sense of adventure, she hates the closed life and the depressed husband, and yearns for the outside world.
Although Zhang Tingzhong had many vices, he also had two advantages at that time, one was to respect the right to education of women in the family, and the other was to respect the property independence of the women in the family.
Whether it is a sister or a wife, if you want to study abroad or live according to your own will, Zhang Tingzhong is convenient.
In 1924, Zhang Tingzhong's sister Zhang Maoyuan wanted to go to England to study, because she was depressed about the married life, Huang Yifan proposed to accompany her sister-in-law.
If Zhang Tingzhong is a "widow" who regards feudal etiquette as a guideline, his wife and unmarried sister naturally cannot make the trip, but obviously he is not, so the two women are happy to go on the road.
Zhang ailing
The only one affected was Zhang Ailing, who was only four years old at the time, Huang Yifan ran away in pursuit of a new life, and her daughter was just part of the old shackles she wanted to escape.
Zhang Ailing may not have understood it when she was a child, but when she grew up, she naturally understood that she was a burden abandoned by her mother, just like Huang Yifan's rebuke to Zhang Ailing in anger later:
"I regret that I used to take care of your typhoid fever carefully, and I would rather see you die than watch you live and cause you to suffer everywhere."
The father's indulgence and indifference, and the mother's estrangement and meanness constitute Zhang Ailing's lonely childhood and extreme girlhood.
The "strange costumes" that Yang Dai said are the "adult costumes" worn by Zhang Ailing in order to please her mother, and because of the lack of her mother's guidance, it is indeed not good-looking and has attracted a lot of discussion.
Because of the lack of father's love and maternal love, Zhang Ailing has always had a special affection for older men and innovative women, probably in her mind to use these two kinds of people as substitutes for her parents.
Zhang Ailing's literary girlfriend is undoubtedly the female writer Su Qing, for Su Qing, she once ridiculed Bingxin for no reason.
Su Qing
It is also because of Su Qing that Zhang Ailing met Hu Lancheng, who decided the tragic nightmare of her life.
Su Qing is a native of Ningbo, a Zhejiang compatriot of Hu Lancheng, and the two met much earlier than Hu Lancheng and Zhang Ailing.
If Hu Lancheng is a "wild bee" who specializes in wandering in the flowers, then Su Qing is a "wave butterfly" who is good at playing with emotional games, and the two smell the same, and they can also be regarded as each other's confidants.
Although Su Qing is 6 years older than Zhang Ailing, the time for the two to officially enter the literary world is similar, after all, Su Qing has experienced two marriages before that, and her famous work is "Ten Years of Marriage".
Around 1943, Su Qing Zhang Ailing, as a female representative of the Shanghai literary circle, can be called a moment of Yuliang, and the relationship between the two was also extremely close.
Externally, they praise each other, join hands to degrade others to a mess, and in life, they are also close friends who are "good enough to change clothes".
Zhang ailing
The "Heaven and Earth" magazine sponsored by Su Qing published Zhang Ailing's works, and her "blue face" Hu Lancheng was shocked by the reading and cheekily inquired about Zhang Ailing's information to Su Qing.
Su Qing naturally knew hu Lancheng's personality, originally because of jealousy was also because of a little love for Zhang Ailing, she still refused to say more, but could not stand Hu Lancheng soft and hard bubbles, and finally let him succeed.
A well-informed woman like Su Qing could hardly resist Hu Lancheng's gentleness and thoughtfulness, and she had been ambiguous with him for many years.
Zhang Ailing was only twenty-three or four years old at the time, and she had never been in love, and naturally fell into the hands of Hu Lancheng quickly.
Su Qing coldly watched Hu Lancheng use his three-plate axe to chase Zhang Ailing:
First of all, sweet words, beautiful words that everyone loves to hear, not to mention the actions of talents: "Everything in the world that has a word or a thing about Zhang Ailing becomes good." ”
Such a love word that holds a woman to heaven, which heart will not throbb.
The second is generosity. Although Hu Lancheng has never made a fortune, and even spent most of his life eating soft rice, he is very generous to women whenever he has a little money in his hands.
Hu Lancheng
Because of the selfishness of her father and mother, although Zhang Ailing grew up without worry, she never had any money in her hands, and when her father and mother gave her money, they were like creditors lending money.
After becoming famous, in order to gamble, Zhang Ailing will indeed give money to her mother on the grounds of "repaying debts", and after Hu Lancheng heard about it, he immediately gave all the money in his hand to Zhang Ailing to let her "get angry".
At that time, Hu Lancheng had already been a high-ranking official in the government of Wang's puppet traitors, and it was also the most valued time for the Japanese, so he took out a lot of money, which made Zhang Ailing very moved.
The last trick is the big killer - marriage proposal.
Although Hu Lancheng is a scumbag who is ruthless everywhere, he likes to promise people a lifetime, as if every woman can live a life with him.
In fact, this is not necessarily a deception, after all, for Hu Lancheng, only the original match of the dead is the "wife", and the other women are concubines, just like Jia Baoyu's maid, how much is it.
Zhang ailing
Su Qing should know about Hu Lancheng's values, so she withdrew and was only willing to play a love game with Hu Lancheng.
Zhang Ailing was serious, and she plunged into it, not caring at all that Hu Lancheng had both a wife who had children and a concubine as beautiful as "White Peony".
It does not matter that Hu Lancheng is the number one "writing thug" in the hands of the Japanese invaders, and the "cultural traitor" who has gritted his teeth by progressives.
So within a few months of acquaintance, the two held a simple and simple wedding, no ceremony, a homemade marriage book wrote:
"Hu Lancheng Zhang Ailing signed a lifelong contract and married a couple, willing to make the years quiet and the present world stable."
The first half of the dry standard article is from Zhang Ailing's hand, and the second half of the "chicken soup quotes" that have been passed down to later generations come from Hu Lancheng.
Zhang Ailing was satisfied with this, and she finally had her own home, in which she could let go of all her disguised maturity and manneristic arrogance.
Zhang ailing
She's not the up-and-coming writer who is high in the eyes of everyone and mean, she just wants to be low to the dust for the man she loves dearly.
Zhang Ailing's love is so focused that she can neither see Hu Lancheng's hypocrisy of love, nor can she see the harm that Hu Lancheng has done to the country as a traitor.
Under the influence of Hu Lancheng, Zhang Ailing was even more ignorant of the harm suffered by her home country under Japan's bloody aggression, and her tolerance for Japan became increasingly severe, so she became a vassal of the traitors.
When the Japanese surrendered in 1945, the sins they had committed in China were completely liquidated, and the traitors who were their eagle dogs naturally could not escape justice.
Hu Lancheng, who had been the deputy head of propaganda in the traitorous government, was a felon who was held accountable, and in order to evade punishment, Hu Lancheng left Zhang Ailing and fled.
If it is only for this reason to separate, according to Zhang Ailing's character, it is bound to wait for Hu Lancheng to become the earth and the heavens.
But One of Hu Lancheng's quirks exempted him from this trouble.
Zhang ailing
Just as Jia Baoyu likes which sister and sister and maid will let everyone know, Hu Lancheng must let the old love know all the details every time he falls in love with a new love.
Hu Lancheng fell in love with two women on the way to escape, and he not only wrote down the ambiguous adultery and sent it to Zhang Ailing, but even let her live with other women after Zhang Ailing came after her.
Although Zhang Ailing loves "Dream of the Red Chamber" very much, and can also be called a generation of "red studies" experts, she obviously cannot make herself a "dream man in the dream of the Red Chamber" who calmly faces three wives and four concubines.
After suffering repeated betrayal blows, Zhang Ailing decisively dug out the heart in her chest and discarded it.
But she was still reluctant to let Hu Lancheng suffer, so she imitated Hu Lancheng and threw thousands of dollars into her, and gave Hu Lancheng most of the rewards for several years of fame totaling 300,000 yuan.
Although for Zhang Ailing, this is to let go of all love-hate entanglements, she is obviously also funding the fugitive traitors.
Zhang ailing
The two met in early 1944, married in August, and after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in August 1945, Hu Lancheng began to flee under a pseudonym and hide around, and officially broke up in June 1947.
The two had known each other for only three years, but they ruined most of Zhang Ailing's life.
Until Zhang Ailing died alone in the United States in 1995, her heart was no longer complete, and her reputation was even more difficult to escape the suspicion of traitors.
After all, when the homeland is ravaged, those who turn a blind eye to suffering and perpetrators, tolerate and help the enemy are not completely innocent in any way.
When Mr. Yang Dai was a hundred years old, he could not forgive Zhang Ailing or even speak ill of each other, which was also forgivable.
