The famous modern scholar and critic Li Changzhi (1910-1978) was a native of Lijin, Shandong, but he had an indissoluble relationship with Liaocheng.
Li Changzhi's best friend in his youth was Ji Xianlin, a Liaocheng man.
In his later years, Ji Xianlin fondly recalled in the article "Remembering Li Changzhi":
"Nagayuki was the first friend of my life. When I met him, I was only eight or nine years old, and the place was the Jinan First Division Attached Elementary School. ”
Later they became classmates in high school. It was 1926, Shandong University was established, and an affiliated middle school was set up at the same time. Li Changzhi took the entrance examination and achieved a good result of first place. And Ji Xianlin also entered the school together.
Li Changzhi wrote in his autobiography "Society and Times":
"The good news is that Ji Xianlin, a classmate in elementary school, we entered middle school and parted ways, but now we are often seen again."
Ji
Later, they studied together at Tsinghua University, li Changzhi in the philosophy department, and Ji Xianlin in the western literature department. During their studies at Tsinghua University, the two were friendly with Lin Geng and Wu Zuyi, and were known as the "Four Musketeers of Tsinghua". Ji Xianlin's "Tsinghua Garden Diary" often mentions that he "went to the Long House for an interview."
In 1946, Ji Xianlin returned from studying in Germany and did not settle down for a while.
"I will go to Nanjing to visit Changzhi." During the day, he roamed under the relentless Taicheng willows, and at night he slept at Nagayuki's desk. The victory of the Six Dynasties is like a cloud of smoke" (Ji Xianlin, "Mourning the Ke Family").
The friendship between the two lasted a lifetime. So much so that in 2001, the ninety-year-old Ji Xianlin was so emotional at the end of the article "Remembering Li Changzhi":
"The older I get, the more I dream. I am ninety years old, how many times can he still dream! Woe to you!"
Li Changzhi was not only closely related to Ji Xianlin, a native of Liaocheng, but actually lived in Liaocheng for a short time when he was young, and wrote a lot of writing about Liaocheng.
In 1928, the Japanese army attacked Jinan, creating the "Jinan Massacre", and soon Li Changzhi went to a church school in Tai'an to study, and finally because he was not accustomed to the style of the church, he turned to the Shandong Provincial Third Normal School in Liaocheng.
This was because the Shandong Provincial Second Normal School in Qufu had already started school, while the Shandong Provincial Third Normal School was late due to bandits. Because of his good learning foundation, he transferred to the second semester of the third year after transferring schools in 1929. Li Changzhi wrote this experience into his autobiography "Society and The Times", which was published in the "Freedom Review" edited by Liang Shiqiu in 1936.
At that time, due to bandits in Liaocheng, many shops were closed, even in the most prosperous Dongguan area. Li Changzhi wrote in his recollection:
"Standing on the road were very malformed children, and the adults were also thin and yellow-skinned, and they lived in the kind of earth-like huts. My shallow sympathy for a moment wanted to ferment into sour tears... Sorrow and loneliness envelop this small city. ”
In less than a month in Liaocheng, Li Changzhi wrote many essays such as "Organ" and commentaries such as "Specific Descriptions of Papers", most of which were included in the "Collected Works of Li Changzhi". However, in June 1929, the author recently found a group of Essays by Li Chang entitled "Feelings After Coming to Dongchang" in the Tianjin Yishi Bao, which totaled more than 4,000 words.
Dongchang is the ancient name of Liaocheng, and Li Changzhi, in this article, was particularly interested in the large wooden spoons used by Liaocheng people to drink soup and scoop wontons at that time. He also has descriptions of the wild scenery of Liaocheng:
"There is a short grass in the near distance, and in the distance is a large piece of earth with no edge, a few piles of black, pine forests, a few piles of yellow, and locust trees that have not sprouted. The unspring locust tree was like a bald girl who had grown sick. The woods were like a trick, suddenly loosely covered, suddenly crowded to the side, just like my friends deliberately abandoning me. ”
Liaocheng's wind and objects made him nostalgic, so he couldn't help but publish it in the shape of a pen and publish it in the Yishi Bao.
King blonde
Soon, the town was captured by the local bandit King Jinfa of Liaocheng.
Li Changzhi was not afraid, but changed his clothes, put on a melon skin hat, and went to the street to watch the liveliness. At first, the streets were closed, and the bandits looked civilized and issued the "Anmin Notice". Although the bandits began to break into the school, they only went to search for the officials, but did not find them, and then withdrew.
But by the next day, the bandits were exposed. The city was in chaos, and the pots of the academy were taken away, and the water tanks were also taken away. In the chaos, the crowd began to rob, and the coal of one family was taken away by the neighbors. Li Changzhi saw that the situation was chaotic and prepared to leave the city. In order not to be recognized as a student, he lied that he was a guy who went out of town to collect the bills.
Plundered Haiyuan Pavilion
However, the bandits at the east gate of the city became suspicious and locked Li Changzhi in a hut. Fortunately, with the help of the landlord's relatives, Li Changzhi was able to escape from danger. Soon, he changed his route to the north gate and escaped from Liaocheng. And the famous Yang's Haiyuan Pavilion collection was also the most damaged this time.
After a few months, the bandit rebellion was put down, and Li Changzhi returned to the "Three Normal Schools", passed the examination for courses such as education, and then went to the primary school for internship, and finally "got the graduation certificate of the normal school in a vacuum." And it took only three days before and after the examination, which shows that the quality of the "three teachers" in the special era is probably not strict. At this time, it was already June 1929, and soon after, Li Changzhi returned to his home in Jinan to participate in the preparation of Jinan's "Citizen Daily", and immediately went to Beijing to study.
Li Changzhi had a long habit of keeping diaries, and in 1936 he wrote his autobiography based on diary material, but unfortunately his diary was destroyed after liberation. However, Li Changzhi's feelings for the people of Liaocheng are still very deep, and his autobiography in 1936 wrote:
"They lent me clothes to wear, they gave me something to eat, and I'll never forget the noodles that were trapped there, made from soybeans and maize."
