It seems that there is no era that can produce so many unspeakable feelings like the Republic of China, capital, churches, nightclubs, war, romance and danger coexist, love and hatred coexist, just like the European Middle Ages, this may be the darkest era in China, or it may be the best era in some people's dreams.
There are too many talented and beautiful women in the Republic of China, they all live too excitingly, extremely, dare to love and hate, and do not bother to disguise themselves, and the way they express their emotions is often put into the pen, letterhead, a poem, a sentence, it is enough to let the other party know, which is unattainable in today's fragmentation of language and shallowness.
A piece of ice in the jade pot
Bingxin's original name was Xie Wanying, born in Fuzhou in 1900, and the Xie family mansion where she was born was purchased by Bingxin's grandfather, Xie Luanen, from Lin Juemin's family. One year later, the family moved to Shanghai.
Bingxin's father, Xie Baozhang, was a naval officer of the Beiyang Navy Division at that time, and in 1993, he was responsible for the preparation of the naval school, and took his family to Yantai, where Bingxin spent 8 years of happy and colorful childhood, she was exposed to Chinese classical literature since she was a child, and read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" at the age of 7.
At the same time, her parents also ordered many domestic and foreign book series from the Shanghai Commercial Press, including Dickens, Alexandre Dumas, Maupassant, etc.
In 1918, Bingxin enrolled in Xiehe Women's University, where she began to aspire to become a doctor, but after the May Fourth Movement, she abandoned medicine and devoted herself to the student movement, participating in revolutionary propaganda work in Beijing. In August of the same year, Bingxin published her first novel, "Two Families", and began to use the pen name "Bingxin" for the first time.
In 1923, she published a collection of poems "Stars", entered Yenching University in the same year, and after graduation, she went to Wellesley College in Boston to study English literature.
In 1970, he was sent to Xianning, Hubei Province to undergo labor reform, and in 1971, when US President Nixon was about to visit China, Bingxin and her husband Wu Wenzao returned to Beijing to prepare for translation work.
After the reform and opening up, the motherland Bingxin ushered in the second creative peak period of his life. He died in Beijing in 1999 at the age of 99. Her works are crisp and bright, timeless and interesting, the writing is clean, without too much language, and it is easy to read. Like a piece of ice heart quietly placed in the jade pot.
才子真情,勇爱敢恨
As mentioned above, the celebrities of the Republic of China, especially those literati, are all true temperaments, dare to love and hate, and dare to act. They hate a person, that is, hate, but they will not buy murder like those warlords and rich people, and see the blood with a knife, but use words to crusade, the words are sharp, and they hit the nail on the head.
There is actually a chain of contempt among the talents of the Republic of China, Yang Jiang looks down on Zhang Ailing, and when she was 99 years old, she still said in a letter that the world promoted Zhang Ailing; Zhang Ailing looked down on Bingxin again, she disdained others to compare her with Bingxin, and said that "she is often pretentious."
Bingxin looked down on Lin Huiyin, and in 1933 Bingxin wrote an article "Our Wife's Living Room", in order to satirize Lin Huiyin's cultural salon in his home in Tsinghua Garden during the national crisis, and he loved to be in the limelight, and Lin Huiyin also looked at Bingxin's eyes.
Not only did the talented women at that time love to fight, but Lu Xun also rushed to join in the fun, he thought that what Bingxin wrote was just an article that praised the beauty of life and interesting things in childhood, which was useless to China in crisis at that time.
As for this matter, Bing Xin just said, "Just be silent!" In this infinite world, I am weak, and I would like to only smile and not speak. "Then what is it that makes these three Wen family celebrities have such an attitude towards Bingxin?
Love and hate between the lines
Zhang Ailing's family background must be known to everyone, her family background is prominent, her grandfather is a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, her grandmother is the eldest daughter of Li Hongzhang, an important minister of the imperial court, her father is a young master, and her mother is a new-style woman.
Although her family background is prominent, but her life experience is not so happy, her parents divorced when she was a child, her father was addicted to opium, and married a celebrity, in order to maintain her status, the celebrity Sun tried her best to eliminate all traces of Zhang Ailing's mother, openly and secretly suppressed Zhang Ailing's sister and brother, and when she grew up, she met someone unladylike, and fell in love with the big traitor Hu Lancheng, which caused her to be ruined.
Her whole life has been struggling in the shadow of sadness, and Bingxin is different, she is also a famous family, Bingxin originally had two elder brothers, but they all died young, so the Xie family's parents love this old girl very much, her father will take her to ride a horse to hunt, watch the training, and her mother will tell her stories before going to bed, so although Bingxin was born in troubled times, she has a safe life under the protection of her family, without wind and waves.
So the writing styles of the two of them are also completely different, Bingxin's slightly simple, easy-to-understand words are like children learning to speak in the eyes of Zhang Ailing, who has gone through great hardships, and she is of course disgusted by others comparing her with Bingxin.
The contradiction between Bingxin and Lin Huiyin is because of love, Xu Zhimo likes Lin Huiyin, we all know, but perhaps few people know that Bingxin also admired Xu Zhimo, but at that time, Xu Zhimo was obsessed with pursuing Lin Huiyin, so Bingxin finally gave up.
In 1931, Xu Zhimo was killed in a plane crash because he was rushing to listen to Lin Huiyin's speech, and Bingxin mentioned in a letter to Liang Shiqiu, "The bad things about women made him sacrifice." The resentment can be imagined.
Lu Xun also has contradictions with Bingxin, Lu Xun's articles have always been direct and sharp, exposing the darkness of society, and he feels that Bingxin does not want to wake everyone up in that era when people's minds are numb, but always writes some beautiful and peaceful words, and continues to hypnotize the world. Lu Xun felt that her thinking was too backward and she didn't want to make progress, so she always treated her coldly.
The reason why these dazzling talents of the Republic of China dislike each other is actually caused by subjective emotions, but this reflects their truth, true words, and true feelings, which will make these emotional stories seem so twists and turns and romantic today.
Brief summary:
In fact, there are many differences between people and people, and it is good to be able to understand each other. Especially in that era of innovation, turmoil, and a mixture of factors, all aspects of thought, culture, economy, and politics are competing to open up, and people will inevitably experience different experiences in their growth, so the three views and experiences will also have their own conflicts, they are not wrong, everyone has their own unique soul, everyone lives according to their own inner intentions, we are not qualified to judge, we can only commemorate.
As Lu Xun said, "The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same, I just think they are noisy." ”
