Liang Qichao (1873-1929) was a modern Chinese thinker, politician, educator, historian, and representative of the "Reform School", who accompanied Kang Youwei in launching the "Book on the Bus" and the "Penghu Reform Law" and advocated the literary revolution. His proud protégés include Cai Yi, Zhang Junjie, Jiang Baili, Xu Zhimo, Wu Qichang, etc., the last three of whom are Haining people from Zhejiang Who have in-laws.
Jiang Baili, a military scientist who exchanged prefaces with his teacher
In 1919, when Jiang Baili (front row, second from left), participated in the Chinese European expedition, he took a group photo with Liang Qichao (third from left in the front row) and Zhang Junjie (fourth from left in the front row).
In 1901, Jiang Baili (1882-1938) went to Japan to study. As soon as I arrived in Tokyo, I went to visit Liang Qichao, who had been in love for a long time. Liang Qichao fled to Japan after the failure of the "Pengshu Reform Law" in 1898, and founded the Qingyi Bao in Japan, vigorously publicizing the idea of changing the law and introducing new ideas and new learning. Liang Qichao arranged for Jiang Baili to study at the Tsinghua school he founded. Soon, Jiang Baili met Liang Qichao's student Cai Yi at Tsinghua School, and the two became friends of Mo Rebellion. From then on, Jiang Baili took Liang Qichao as his teacher, and under the introduction of Liang Shi, he and Cai Yi went to the Chengcheng School in Japan to study military affairs.
In 1917, Jiang Baili traveled to several places in China and returned to Beijing to follow Liang Qichao in academic research. At the end of 1918, Jiang Baili, Zhang Junjie and others accompanied Liang Qichao to Europe for a one-year expedition. After returning from Europe, Jiang Baili assisted Liang Shi in establishing the Gongxue Society in Beijing, founding the Songpa Library, and engaging in social and cultural activities.
At the end of 1920, Jiang Baili wrote a book "History of the European Renaissance" and asked his mentor Liang Qichao to write a preface. Liang Qichao was greatly appreciated after reading through the whole book, and wrote a preface with a pen, but he did not expect to write more than 60,000 words, which exceeded the length of Jiang Baili's original book. Later, the preface was published separately under the title of "Introduction to Qing Dynasty Scholarship", and Liang Qichao in turn asked Jiang Baili to write a preface for it, which became a good story in the literary world.
After that, Liang Qichao has always been concerned about Jiang Baili's military activities, often talking about Jiang Baili in his "Letter to His Children" and analyzing his situation and gains and losses.
In 1923, Jiang Baili built a "Huaixuan Hall" for his mother in Haining Jiaoshi, and Liang Qichao wrote the "Epitaph of Mrs. Yang, Mother Jiang" and described his friendship with Jiang Baili - "Qi Chao and Fang Zhen have been friends for more than twenty years, living as classmates, traveling together, and suffering the same things in the world..." It can be seen that the two have deep feelings.
Xu Zhimo, the poet who was most loved by Liang Shi
Liang Qichao recorded "Peach Blossom Fan" as a gift to Shima.
In 1915, Xu Zhimo (1897-1931) was admitted to the preparatory department of Peking University after graduating from Hangzhou No. 1 Middle School and lived in the home of his uncle's cousin Jiang Baili. In the summer of 1918, under the introduction of Jiang Baili and Zhang Youyi's second brother Zhang Junjie, Xu Zhimo met Liang Qichao in Beijing and became Liang's disciple. Xu Zhimo was full of reverence for Liang Qichao, and he once wrote the "Letter of Shangliang Shiren": "In the summer, he tends to worship Yu Fan, and the vertigo is highly intelligent... Remembering the Master's love for virtue, he did not abandon it because he was unworthy, or he increased his trepidation, and worried about the inadequacy of his subordinates, and he was ashamed of the disciples of the Holy Gate in order to fill the stables. ”
In 1922, Xu Zhimo planned to divorce Zhang Youyi in Germany, and Liang Qichao wrote a letter opposing it, when Xu Zhimo fell in love with Liang Qichao's "hairy-footed daughter-in-law", that is, Liang Sicheng's fiancée Lin Huiyin. In October of the same year, after Xu Zhimo returned from overseas, he took up a job and listened to the teachings in the Songpa Library founded by Liang Qichao and others.
In April 1924, Liang Qichao, Xu Zhimo and others received the great literary hero Tagore in Beijing, and Liang Qichao once wrote a joint letter to Xu Zhimo to record Tagore's coming to China.
In October 1926, Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman held a wedding ceremony in Beihai Park, and Liang Qichao was a witness. Liang Qichao issued a unique "marriage testimony" at the wedding, scolding Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman. Of course, scolding with love also reflects his love and expectation for his student Xu Zhimo. Liu Haisu's article "Remembering Mr. Liang Qichao" said: "Mr. Liang is full of peach and plum all over the world, and what he cares about and loves most is Xu Zhimo. ”
In December 1928, Xu Zhimo went to Beijing to visit Liang Qichao, who was hospitalized in Union Hospital. After Liang Qichao's death in 1929, Xu Zhimo vigorously promoted the publication of Liang Qichao's posthumous manuscripts to publicize his ideas and learning.
Wu Qichang, a literary historian who chronicles Liang Shi's life
Wu Qichang wrote "The Biography of Liang Qichao" (Hundred Flowers Edition) book shadow.
Wu Qichang (1904-1944) was Xu Zhimo's cousin and worked in the Wuxi Guoxue College in his early years. In 1925, he was admitted to the Institute of Chinese Studies of Tsinghua University, where he studied under Liang Qichao and Wang Guowei, from Liang Qichaozhi to the academic history of culture and Song, and from the oracle bone jinwen and ancient history of Wang Guoweizhi, and was deeply appreciated by the two tutors. People at the time thought: "Wu Qichang studied scholarship and inherited the mantle of Wang Guowei; when he published an article, he adhered to Liang Qichao's literary heart." ”
Beginning in November 1925, Wu Qichang began to record and organize Liang Qichao's Qinghua speeches, and since then, many of Liang's speeches have been written by his hand. Beginning in the second half of 1927, Wu Qichang lived in The Liang family and assisted in handling copywriting. The following year, on the recommendation of Liang Qichao, Wu Qichang was hired by Nankai University and began to enter the pulpit of institutions of higher learning.
In January 1929, Liang Qichao died of illness. When the coffin was buried in September, Wu Qichang delivered a speech at the tomb on behalf of all the students of the Institute of Tsinghua University, and the affectionate "Tribute to Mr. Liang Qichao" was also from his hand. In addition, Wu Qichang also wrote articles such as "Mr. Liang Rengong's Notes on The Remains" and "Notes on the Words and Deeds of Mr. Liang Rengong in His Later Years", leaving valuable historical materials.
From the end of 1943 to the beginning of 1944, at the invitation of Shengli Publishing House, Wu Qichang wrote "Liang Qichao" with illness, which was his masterpiece. Although the book is only more than 50,000 words, it is full of affection to record Liang Qichao's life and his political and academic thoughts, and the style and style of the book are similar to Liang Qichao's "Biography of Li Hongzhang", and Wu Qichang also became the only disciple who established a biography of Liang Qichao. Xia Xiaohong, a professor at Peking University, said: "(Wu Qichang) dedicated the last days of his life to his mentor, and Liang Qichao should be very satisfied with the students. ”
Liang Qichao has always had a green eye and great love for Jiang Baili, Xu Zhimo, and Wu Qichang, three disciples from Haining, Zhejiang, which have a great influence on their personality cultivation and knowledge. The three Zhejiang disciples also respected and loved Master Liang and performed the disciple ceremony for life. Moreover, under the guidance of Master Liang, Jiang Baili, Xu Zhimo, and Wu Qichang had great ambitions, worried about the country and the people, made outstanding achievements in their respective fields, and made positive contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and China's cultural undertakings. Xu Zhimo was 34 years old, Wu Qichang was 40 years old, and Liang Qichao and Jiang Baili, the longest living of the four, were only 56 years old.
