Has any warrior paid for "The First Incense"?
First of all, I took the initiative to confess, and after the sister group was drawn, only two brave people were sent.
To be honest, "The First Burning Incense" has been in the limelight since the beginning of casting - when the news of Ma Sichun playing Ge Weilong and Peng Yuyan playing Qiao Qiqiao came out, the mourning was everywhere;
Ma Sichun's "First Incense" was post-reading, and everyone fell into despair. Just, no, it feels completely wrong, Zhang Ailing's beauty and desolation, how can it be interpreted as youth pain literature?
Now that the movie has aired, the hunch has come true.
The aunt played by Yu Feihong needs a young girl to help seduce the little boy,
Peng Yuyan's Qiao Qiqiao does not seem to need his wife as a social flower to support the family.
What's even more frightening is that I thought that "love but not" was just The feelings of Xiaoma's classmates, but I didn't expect that it was the central theme of the entire crew. It's a bit confusing.
However, thinking about it, in today's era, not understanding Zhang Ailing may not be a bad thing.
The reason why Zhang Ailing is Zhang Ailing is that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a tragedy of the times.
In Zhang Ailing's novels, you can rarely see a normal family relationship: "The Golden Lock", "Flower Wither", "Love in the Fallen City", and even "The First Burning Incense" - Ge Weilong's aunt Mrs. Liang persuaded Qiao Qiqiao and Ge Weilong to marry that period of analysis, cold and direct, can make Qiao Qiqiao "happy and sincere", but also can make the reader cold sweat:
"I see you're going to just do it!" You want to marry a wide lady, your vision is high, the portal is worse, and you can't look at it. It is really a girl from a family of tens of millions of families, arrogant and accustomed, where will she talk so well as Wei Long? Everywhere you are not exempt from restraint. The purpose of your money is to play, play is not happy, what do you want money to do? Of course, after seven or eight years, Wei Long's income must have been greatly reduced. When she can't earn money to support the family, you can divorce her. In English law, divorce is quite difficult and the only legal ground is adultery. You want to catch evidence of the other party's adultery, it is not easy? ”
The interests are thorough and well-defined. This is the true color of Zhang Ailing.
However, how is this cool and thin background color refined?
It is said that some people are healing their childhood with their whole lives, and some people are using their childhood to heal their whole lives. During the Republic of China period, Zhang Ailing, who was also born into a famous female writer, did not look at Bingxin very much, but Bingxin was born in a happy home, and her mother loved her like a treasure, and throughout her life, she sang about maternal love and childhood in the article.
So, what about Zhang Ailing?
Now when it comes to Zhang Ailing, most of them will talk about her paternal lineage - her grandfather is Zhang Peilun, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, and her grandmother is Li Hongzhang's beloved eldest daughter Li Juling.
Li Jurongsu is known for his beautiful and dignified appearance, and was only 22 years old when he married Zhang Peilun, and zhang Peilun was already 41 years old at this time, a widower who had lost his wife twice, and his political career had begun to decline. According to Zhang Ailing's younger brother Zhang Zijing in a later reminiscence article, Li Hongzhang insisted on marrying his eldest daughter to him despite his wife's objections, and was a son of sympathy for the deceased, so he "made this decision."
The righteousness of men in the official arena ultimately depends on the bottom of the woman's pocket. This is an age-old practice.
However, when Zhang Ailing was born, her grandparents had actually died, and what was really related to her childhood was her father Zhang Zhiyi, her mother Huang Suqiong, and her aunt Zhang Maoyuan.
When Zhang Peilun died, Zhang Zhiyi was only seven or eight years old, and Zhang Maoyuan was two or three years old. The two were brought by the widowed mother. However, Li Ju lotus taught the children to raise their daughters as sons and to raise their sons as daughters.
Zhang Zhiyi is full of economy, but his personality is weak and sensitive. Fortunately, the Zhang family is big, the father inherited a large amount of land in Anhui, Tianjin and Hebei, and has 8 properties in Shanghai and Nanjing, and the life is not sad. When Zhang Zhiyi became an adult, he married Huang Suqiong, who had been dating him since childhood.
Huang Suqiong, also known as Huang Yifan, she herself can be called another legend.
Her grandfather, Huang Jisheng, was the admiral of the seven provinces of the Yangtze River at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and her father, Huang Zongyan, was another prominent family in Guangxi, and the only thing that was defiant was that Huang Zongyan had been married for many years, and his wife had nothing to do.
Before going to Guangxi to take office, the Huang family bought a girl from the countryside of Hunan to make Huang Zongyan a concubine. However, less than a year in Guangxi, the aunt had not yet given birth after becoming pregnant, and Huang Zongyan died of miasma, living only 30 years. Hearing the news, the Huang family flocked to eat the family and divide the family property, thanks to the widow born of the concubine is a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, so as to save the family property.
Huang Suqiong is the girl in the dragon and phoenix fetus.
Compared with the Zhang family, the Huang family's thinking is more open, she has received a new education since childhood, and her family is also rich. Because the Zhang family is a tycoon, when they got married, the Huang family was afraid that the girl would be bullied, and gave Huang Suqiong a large dowry.
Looking at Huang Suqiong's photograph now, she is a slender and beautiful new woman of the Republic of China; but on the other hand, she inevitably wrapped her small feet when she was young, and like Chang'an in "The Golden Lock", she left traces of a lifetime.
After marrying into the Zhang family, she gave birth to Zhang Ailing and Zhang Zijing, a daughter and a son, and then, zhang Zhiyi, was basically in harmony with each other. The reason is that she cannot tolerate Zhang Zhiyi doing nothing, selling her ancestral property, sitting on the mountain air, smoking a lot of cigarettes, taking concubines...
In Zhang Zhiyi's view, this is just what the children of the family like him are doing, and he can't understand why Huang Suqiong can't accept it. And Huang Suqiong, as a concubine and daughter, left behind, since childhood is strong, temper and stubborn, the two have been arguing until the world is turned upside down, Zhang Zhiyi refused to change, simply put the outer room, but also took Xiao Zhang Ailing to the small mansion where his aunt was placed to play; Huang Suqiong refused to accept, and the relationship with her husband became increasingly cold, but she and her sister-in-law Zhang Maoyuan talked more and more.
So she did something that was bold at the time. In 1924, Zhang Maoyuan wanted to study abroad, and 28-year-old Huang Suqiong said that the young girl needed a guardian to go abroad, so she left her husband and 4-year-old Zhang Ailing, 3-year-old Zhang Zijing, and went abroad to stay in the west.
Also in this year, the Grand Lady of the Huang family died, Huang Suqiong and his brother Huang Dingzhu divided the family property, the real estate belonged to Huang Dingzhu, and the antique collection belonged to Huang Suqiong. She has since acquired a great fortune. So she lived a free and leisurely life on the other side of the ocean - learning painting with Xu Beihong, becoming a girlfriend with Xu Beihong's wife Jiang Biwei, meeting social celebrities, and starting to travel continuously, including wearing a swimsuit, exposing her little feet to the beach to bask in the sun, including skiing in the Alps with a pair of small feet...
However, like her husband, whom she despised, all this was obtained by selling her ancestral property.
Four years later, she finally decided to return to China, because Zhang Zhiyi wrote to her, promising to drive away her aunt and quit smoking - in fact, because her aunt smashed his head with a spittoon when arguing with him, and was swept out of the house; and after Huang Suqiong went abroad, the boyfriend around her has not been broken, she met a diplomat boyfriend at that time, the two decided to get married, she went back to divorce, but the diplomat temporarily changed his mind...
People are back, but the feelings are not getting better. Zhang Zhiyi and Huang Suqiong quarreled more and more fiercely. In order to keep his wife, he even had a trick: not to give it to the family, to make his wife exhaust the dowry, so that she could not run away.
More than a year later, Huang Suqiong asked a foreign lawyer to agree on a divorce, leaving a sentence: "My heart is already like a piece of wood." "Then, went abroad again.
When Zhang Ailing was 14 years old, Zhang Zhiyi remarried to Sun Yongfan, the seventh daughter of Sun Baoqi, the premier of the Beiyang government.
At that time, Sun Yongfan was more than 30 years old and was an "old girl" - she was once a famous celebrity in Shanghai's celebrity circle, and she was good friends with Lu Xiaoman, and her father Sun Baoqi was bent on finding a rich marriage for her. However, Miss Sun Qi, however, fell in love with her poor and depraved cousin, and privately decided not to succeed for life, so she and her cousin met to take poison and martyrdom.
As a result, she took the poison, and the cousin temporarily repented and slipped away.
Are you familiar with the story? Yes, "Rouge Buckle".
It's just that this cousin still has a little conscience, and when he slipped away, he also knew to notify the Sun family to drag her back. The Sun family was in a hurry, and the people were rescued; but in the social circle, it became a joke, and even someone dared to come to kiss.
Miss Sun Qi, who was famous for being famous, was put under house arrest when she returned home, and her temperament changed drastically, and she also smoked opium—if it were not for this, it would not be Zhang Zhiyi's turn to marry her as a stepmother.
In Zhang Ailing's later memories, Sun Yongfan was not good to her and her brother Zhang Zijing, but there is also a saying that Sun Yongfan ruled the family with a way, and after marrying into the Zhang family, the Zhang family had a new atmosphere, but Zhang Ailing was in adolescence, sensitive and slender, and could not get along with Sun Yongfan.
Later, it seems that Sun Yongfan also tried to have a good relationship with Zhang Ailing. When they met, she specially prepared a gift for Zhang Ailing to meet - a box of her old clothes.
This is the etiquette of the late Qing dynasty. Watching "Dream of the Red Chamber", you know that the elders of the big family send their old clothes to the younger generations, which is the meaning of love and pity. Jia Mu had sent Jia Baoyu a bird's gold fur and Xue Baoqin's hair, all of which were her own old clothes; but what did Zhang Ailing think?
She later wrote: "Another period of living under the rule of her stepmother, picking up the clothes she wore leftovers to wear, never forgetting a thin dark red cotton robe, the color of shredded beef, worn endlessly, as if there were frostbites all over the body; winter has passed, and there are still frostbite scars - it is such hatred and shame!" ”
With such a mentality to get along with the stepmother, the relationship between Sun Yongfan and Zhang Ailing will inevitably not be harmonious.
In any case, one thing is certain: she and Zhang Zijing have been beaten a lot because of Sun Yongfan.
The most famous one is still related to Huang Suqiong. Huang Suqiong returned to China and wanted her daughter Zhang Ailing to study abroad, but she wanted Zhang Zhiyi to pay for it. At this time, Zhang Zhiyi had already sat on the mountain and ate the sky, but he was unwilling to tell the truth to his ex-wife, and Sun Yongfan, as the current wife, was naturally annoyed, so he scolded Zhang Ailing: "Your mother is divorced and still interferes in your family's affairs, since you can't put it down here, why don't you come back?" Unfortunately, I was one step late, and I had to be my aunt when I came back! ”
Zhang Ailing immediately argued with Sun Yongfan after listening to it, Sun yongfan slapped her with a sharp hand, she reached out to block, Sun Yongfan immediately ran upstairs, shouting "She is going to beat me", Zhang Zhiyi was furious after hearing it, punched and kicked Zhang Ailing, and locked her up for several months. Only food and water are given every day, and no one is allowed to talk to her.
Yes, the scene in "Half-Life" where Man Zhen is imprisoned.
During this period, Zhang Ailing fell ill with dysentery and almost died in a small room. Fortunately, the servant Who brought her, He Gan, was an old man who had served Li Jurong, and he still had some face in front of Zhang Zhiyi, and secretly let her go and let her go to his mother.
Huang Suqiong accepted her and gave her two choices: one is to take a small amount of money to study, and the other is to marry.
Zhang Ailing chose one.
Her brother, on the other hand, did not have the same luck as hers. In the summer, Zhang Zijing came to Huang Suqiong with a basketball shoe wrapped in a newspaper and said that he would not go back, and Huang Suqiong told her son: "I can only bear the education of one person, and now this quota is occupied by your sister, you go." ”
Zhang Zijing cried desperately, and Zhang Ailing also cried.
This year, Zhang Ailing was 16 years old, but she experienced a tragedy that many people had never experienced in their lives. And Huang Suqiong was not satisfied with her —Zhang Ailing was not the kind of European aristocratic lady she had in mind.
Facing her 16-year-old daughter, Huang Suqiong once told her directly: "I regret that I used to carefully take care of your typhoid fever, and I would rather you die than watch you live and make yourself suffer everywhere." ”
And she herself still lives a European aristocratic life: making boyfriends, traveling, socializing... It is up to continue to sell inherited antiques. And Zhang Ailing is just a burden for her. Zhang Ailing asked her for living expenses, and she had to be blinded first. Huang Suqiong also likes to hang "all for you", such as "I didn't go to coffee this week, it's all for you." "I haven't added new clothes this month, it's all for you, you're such a scourge."
However, the money that should be paid will still be paid: for Zhang Ailing to learn to draw, learn piano, ask Jews to give Zhang Ailing math for $5 an hour, teach her to walk like a European-style celebrity...
At the age of 18, Zhang Ailing was admitted to the University of London with the first place in the Far East, but her father refused to pay her tuition fees, and the Japanese invasion of China was blocked, so she had to transfer to the University of Hong Kong to study literature.
Because of the hard work of study, the first homework, the second year to get two scholarships, the history professor cherished the talent, out of his own pocket 800 yuan to Zhang Ailing to do scholarships. Zhang Ailing Rushing took the money to show her mother to prove that she was not useless, and her mother did not say a word, only let her leave the money, and turned her head and lost all the money on the card table.
This is the mode of getting along between Huang Suqiong and Zhang Ailing. Years later, Zhang Ailing became famous and had money, so she exchanged two small gold bars and handed them to her mother with a smile, saying that she would pay her back.
As a result, Huang Suqiong burst into tears: "Even if I make you feel bad, you don't have to do this to me!" ”
Since then, mother and daughter have never seen each other again.
Huang Suqiong lived abroad in his later years and once wanted to see Zhang Ailing. However, Zhang Ailing only entrusted someone to send $100.
Huang Suqiong died in the United Kingdom, leaving Zhang Ailing a box of antiques, about 20,000 pounds now. The rest have been sold one after another. In her later years, Zhang Ailing regretted not seeing her mother.
The above is the most tragic background color in Zhang Ailing's life.
Since then, she has spent her whole life looking for a father-like lover, repeatedly breaking off relations with relatives and friends, suffering from social phobia in her later years, refusing to go out, and if someone knocks on the door, she will stuff a note from the door: Miss Zhang Ailing is not at home...
There is only one Zhang Ailing in the world, which may not be a bad thing.
