Su Qing is known as one of the four talented women of the Republic of China, whose original name is Feng Heyi, a native of Ningbo, Zhejiang. Su Qing was a pen name used later in its period. Now when Su Qing is mentioned, many people may not know who this talented woman with sharp writing is. However, in Shanghai Beach in the 1940s, Su Qingke was on a par with Zhang Ailing, who still carried the manuscript to the "Heaven and Earth" magazine run by Su Qing to submit articles.
Su Qing
Su Qing and Zhang Ailing have a lot in common, although the two have different styles, but in life, it seems that they can find each other's shadows. These two pairs of good friends, both then and now, still have some controversy in some way.
Today, we do not discuss this talented woman's literary works and her spiritual world for the time being, but pull her back to life, and try our best to find another side of this talented woman in the Republic of China from Su Qing's life experience.
Su Qing's girlfriend Zhang Ailing
Su Qing is dignified in appearance, born in a large family in Jiangnan, and has no worries about food and clothing from an early age. Such a living environment, the edified girl, should be the kind of weak and helpless Jiangnan woman, but Su Qing may be an exception, Su Qing's personality has been very strong since childhood, and there are some stubborn, and the things that are accurate must be done and done to the end.
When she graduated from middle school, Su Qing was selected by the school to play the heroine of "Peacock Southeast Flying" because of her outstanding appearance. The play is performed on graduation day, and many local characters are invited. Su Qing's exquisite performance on the stage made the male protagonist Li Qinhou suddenly lose his soul.
Coincidentally, Li Qinhou's father was also offstage at this time, and his impression of Su Qing was also very good. His mind also coincided with his son, and he decided on the spot that this person was his future daughter-in-law.
Su Qing and Li Qinhou agreed on a marriage contract, and the two married after finishing college. After Li Qinhou graduated from university, the two came to Shanghai to live together, and after the two left home, they got along for a long time, and the contradictions were soon revealed.
Su Qing grew up in the elegant and luxurious life of the famous woman, only food and clothing, and now Li Qinhou is only a middle school teacher, with a meager income, and the two soon quarreled a lot because of economic problems.
Such a marriage is doomed not to last forever. After ten years of bumpy marriage between the two, Su Qing still divorced Li Qinhou. After the divorce, Su Qing raised three children alone. At that time, Shanghai Beach had become an isolated island, and Su Qing was helpless with her three children, which was very difficult.
If she wants to be strong, she refuses to return to her parents and return to the countryside. In the end, she decided to take her three children to root in Shanghai alone. She once said to people coldly and arrogantly, "I bought a nail in my house!" ”
Behind this sentence, Su Qing took care of the child's leisure day and night, holding a pen and desperately writing a manuscript. Su Qing, who was born in Xiangmendi, began to write continuously to support herself and her family, and slowly looked handsome, but her words became spicy, as she later said, I wrote at that time, everything was for money.
After the divorce, Su Qing also thought about remarrying, after all, in Shanghai at that time, a single woman was difficult to raise three children. Once, Su Qing met a wealthy businessman and intended to marry him. One day, the two went to dinner, and Su Qing's three children looked at the door, wanting to go up, but did not dare to go up.
On the beach
Su Qing burst into tears. Halfway through the meal, he hurried away. She was afraid that after she got married, her three children would suffer, and from then on, stubbornly, she decided not to marry again, and she wrote such a sentence in the book, perhaps to explore what she felt and thought at that time: "Instead of letting people take advantage of me, I would rather let my children take advantage of me." ”
No longer married, life still has to go on. Under the recommendation of his friend Tao Kangde, Su Qing published his first article "On Divorce" in "Ancient and Modern".
Since then, he has become a frequent visitor to the Shanghai literary circle that has withered away at that time. Zhu Pu, the founder of "Ancient and Modern", held an important position under the notorious Wang Jingwei, and the nature of "Ancient and Modern" was already self-evident in the Shanghai literary circle at that time.
Soon, something happened that Su Qing did not know whether it was lucky or unfortunate. Su Qing's "On Divorce" was noticed by the equally infamous Chen Gongbo, who admired Su Qing very much. Seeing this, the sophisticated and sleek Zhu Pu also took the opportunity to dial Su Qing, it is not easy for you to take three children, if you can lean against the big tree of Chen Gongbo, it is good to cool off.
Traitor Chen Gongbo
After some clicking, Su Qing's thoughts and thoughts at that time were no longer known, but soon after, an article signed su Qing and praising Chen Gongbo appeared in the "Ancient and Modern". At this moment, Su Qing and Chen Gongbo hooked up with each other, which also became a stain that Su Qing could not wash away in his lifetime.
Soon, Chen Gongbo sent Su Qing a handwritten letter. Chen Gongbo invited Su Qing to be his personal secretary in the letter, and the clear-eyed people could see what Chen Gongbo wanted to do, Su Qing naturally knew this, and the popularity of the literary people in his bones suddenly rose, Su Qing replied to the letter, and politely rejected Chen Gongbo.
Chen Gongbo instead invited Su Qing to a position in sorting out documents, and he had a fixed salary. Su Qing saw that this position was far away from Chen Gongbo, and his own life was tight, so he agreed to come down. After Su Qing took office, the popularity of the writer should not be, and he added a good strength, and from time to time he also published several articles in the newspaper satirizing what he saw and heard when he was in office.
Shanghai at the time of the fall
As soon as they came and went, there were more people complaining to Chen Gongbo. Chen Gongbo had no way, so he asked Su Qing to stay in his post, his salary was paid, and the class was not on. This is exactly what Su Qing intended. Later, Chen Gongbo allocated more than 100,000 yuan to Su Qing to support her life and career.
According to the recollections of Chen Cunren, a famous doctor in Shanghai Beach, Su Qing's relationship with Chen Gongbo during this period was quite ambiguous. In the autobiographical novels he later wrote, Su Qing also indirectly acknowledged this special relationship between himself and Chen Gongbo.
There were rumors about these two people, which could be described as a rumor in Shanghai Beach at that time, and some good people even gave Su Qing the nickname of "literary prostitute".
After this, Su Qing is still like a duckweed floating on the beach without any support. In her autobiographical novels, a person named "Zhao Ruiguo" appears. In the image of the book, he is a chubby gentleman.
Later, some people inquired about the root cause, and finally found the prototype of Zhao Ruiguo in reality - Zhou Huaren. In the memoir "Me and Su Qing", another of Su Qing's confidants, it can be found out.
Zhou Huaren also held a pseudo-position in Shanghai Beach. I like Su Qing because I think she can have children. However, the reality is that Su Qing is not willing to have more children, at this time Su Qing has four daughters, a son, all born to her ex-husband.
One saw that he could be born, and the other did not want to be born, and the two broke up after experiencing a story that no one could tell, and after setting off a big wave on the beach.
At this time, it was already the victory of the War of Resistance, and Su Qing's cool trees were naturally uprooted one after another. Without the care of men and experiencing these changes, Su Qing took her three children and moved into Lansian Road (at that time, this was a slum in Shanghai Beach).
At this time, Su Qing found a big tree, that is, Jiang Gui, and Su Qing's life seemed to have undergone some changes. Jiang Gui was an officer under Tang Enbo. After meeting Su Qing in Shanghai, the two soon moved in together. At that time, the Shanghai tabloid "Southeast Wind" also published a large article satirizing the two.
Jiang Gui later wrote of Su Qing in his autobiographical novel: "For Su Qing, to be honest, I have been fascinated by it, she is a dish of Chen Gongbo, but for me, it is a mountain treasure and sea flavor..."
Later, before Jiang Gui left Shanghai, he also gave a house to Su Qing. Su Qing confessed in her autobiographical novel that she thought Jiang Gui was sincere to her. Helplessly, after sending the house, Jiang Gui disappeared, all this was like a cloud of smoke, floating and scattering.
Su Qing in his later years
Su Qing's literary attainments are worthy of the word talented woman, but as far as her life and other aspects are concerned, it can only be said in one word. During the fall of Shanghai, some of Su Qing's actions made her a cultural traitor, which is a fact, such a bad relationship, in the future, became Su Qing's nightmare. Now that the Si people have gone, whether it is Su Qing or Feng Heyi, the flowers have blossomed and fallen, turning into spring mud, and everything has become a thing of the past.
