章太炎(1869-1936)

Spicy-eyed master and apprentice acquaintance: In 1905, Huang Kan was sent by the government to study at Waseda University in Japan under the sponsorship of Zhang Zhidong, and happened to live with Zhang Taiyan. So a unique contact made the two get acquainted, Huang Kan lived upstairs and Zhang Taiyan lived downstairs. One night, Huang was in a hurry and didn't have time to go to the toilet, so he untied his pants from the window of the building. Zhang Taiyan was reading at night at this time, and suddenly a stream of urine splashed down like a waterfall, and Zhang couldn't help but scold loudly. Huang Kanzheng was young and irritable, and he also scolded back. As a result, they didn't scold each other, and after the two sides exchanged names, they were familiar with each other's names, so they turned the conversation to learning, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became. Zhang Taiyan is tall and arrogant, and rarely praises the literati of modern times, but he is impressed by Huang Kan.

Hu shi

The joker who ridiculed Hu Shi: Huang Kan belongs to the old school, and he has always been unaccustomed to the practices of a group of new characters such as Hu Shi, and he will sneer at every opportunity. Once, Huang Kan faced Hu Shi in person: "You keep saying that you want to promote vernacular literature, but it may not be sincere?" Hu Shi didn't understand what he meant, and he investigated the reason. Huang said: "If you practice it, the name should not be called Hu Shi, but 'where to go'." Hu Shi was very embarrassed. Once, when Huang Kan was lecturing to his students, he talked about Hu Shi and vernacular literature. He said: "Vernacular is not as good as classical Chinese, you can see it when you look at it." For example, when Hu Shi's wife died, his family sent a telegram informing Hu that if he used classical Chinese, he would be able to write 'his wife should return quickly'; if he used vernacular, he would write 11 words, 'Your wife is dead, come back quickly', and the telegram fee would be twice as expensive as in classical Chinese. caused the audience to laugh, and once almost provoked Hu Shi to do something to him.

Huang Shaolan

The drunken slanderous disciple: At that time, it was rumored that Huang Kan had nine wives before and after, and a tabloid once ridiculed Huang Kan's romance: "Huang Kan's articles go all over the world, and he is very lustful, not my mother, not my daughter, but my wife." It can be seen that Huang Kan is poisoned. Huang Kan was the tutor of Huang Shaolan, a fellow villager and a woman of the same clan. Later, Huang Shaolan left school as a female teacher in Beijing and went to Shanghai to open Bowen Girls' School, and Huang Kan cheekily went to Shanghai to pursue her. Since his wife had not yet divorced, Huang Kan started a trick of cheating on marriage and used Li Moumou's pseudonym to apply for a marriage certificate with him. Huang Kan flickered and said: "Because you also know that my family has a wife." If my real name is used, I am guilty of bigamy. At the same time, you can't be irresponsible. Who knew that the good times would not last long, Huang Kan returned to Beijing Women's Normal University to teach, and secretly married a female student surnamed Peng from Suzhou, which was known to Huang Shaolan's friends. When Huang Shaolan heard the news, he wanted to sue, because the man's name on the marriage certificate was fake and he could not be sued. Because she had a daughter with Huang Kan, her father hated her for insulting her family, and in a fit of anger, he severed the father-daughter relationship with her. In the end, she went crazy and hanged herself, which is embarrassing.

Who would have thought that even Huang Shaolan's death could not arouse a little sympathy and conscience from Huang Kan, and another woman named Huang Juying could quietly accompany Huang Kan for the rest of the days. made Huang Kan find the feeling of true love and stopped in the love field. After marrying Huang Juying, Huang Kan focused on research, and there were no more scandals. In 1935, 49-year-old Huang Kan was admitted to the hospital for three days for rescue because of excessive drinking, and finally died of ineffective rescue.

Huang Kan

A true filial son who vomited several liters of blood: Although Huang Kan is particularly independent, he is filial to his mother. In 1908, when Huang Kan's biological mother died, he vomited several liters of blood, which shows the depth of grief. Later, when the Qing government severely arrested the revolutionaries, Huang Kan learned the news and quickly left home and went to Japan. After Huang Kan returned to Japan, because he was very worried about his mother, he asked Su Manshu, who was also in Japan, to draw a picture, called "Dream of Mother's Tomb", and remembered it for himself, and asked Zhang Taiyan to write an inscription. This painting has also become his personal treasure, and he will never leave it.
