According to the relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Writers Association, Mr. Huang Zongying, a famous performance artist and writer in China, passed away at 3:28 a.m. today at the age of 95.
Speaking of Huang Zongying, what remains in the hearts of generations is her youthful and beautiful smile on the screen; however, what she prefers people to remember is the pen that truly accompanies her entire life, the pen that writes the times.
In 1941, at the age of 16, Huang Zongying joined the Shanghai Professional Theater Troupe hosted by Huang Zuolin at the invitation of his brother Huang Zongjiang, and because of a rescue scene, he stepped onto the drama stage. Two years later, she swept Shanghai with her performance in the drama "Sweet Sister". Since then, "Sweet Sister" has also become synonymous with Huang Zongying. In 1946, Huang Zongying entered the film world with his first film "Chase". The following year, she also gave her thoughts and feelings about studying acting under the title of "Cold Window Walking Pen" and serialized it in Wen Wei Po. Huang Zongying, who was in his early 20s, began a cross-border career in stage, film and literature.

On the screen, she played important roles in films such as "Rhapsody of Happiness", "Li Ren Xing", "Chicken Chirping Early to See the Sky", "Streets and Alleys", "Crows and Sparrows", "Home", "Nie Er", "A Game of Chess That Has Not Been Played"; buried her head in the case, she completed the film script "Ordinary Cause" and "The First Spring of the Sixties".
Since the mid-1960s, Huang Zongying has specialized in literary creation, and has made great achievements in reportage literature, creating works such as "Big Goose Love", "Beautiful Eyes", "Orange", "Log Cabin" and so on. The first three have earned her three consecutive Chinese Outstanding Reportage Awards. Behind this is the glamorous beauty in front of the farewell screen, the hardships of climbing mountains and mountains, and sleeping in the wind. In order to show the work and life experience of scientists in the Plateau Ecological Research Station, she entered Tibet three times in recent years. In addition, she also co-authored the reportage collection "For You, My Motherland" with Xu Chi and Xiao Fuxing, co-authored the reportage collection "A Generation of Tianjiao" with Ding Ling, and published the prose collection "Half Mountain, Half Water, Half Book Window" and "Xiao Jun". In terms of prose essays, she co-authored the prose collections "Selling Art Huang Jia" and "Selling Artists' Homes" with Huang Zongjiang and Huang Zongluo, and also created the essay collections "So I Am Still" and "Zen Meditation on Aging". In 2016, at the age of 91, she published the "Huang Zong English Collection".
In 2019, she won the "Lifetime Achievement Award" of the 7th Shanghai Literature and Art Award.
Attached here is her first "Cold Window Special Pen" serialized in Wen Wei Po in 1946, in memory of Mr. Huang.
Cold window pen
Huang Zongying
At the beginning of the enrollment, my grandson Shu Yao gave me a small booklet, Zhuang Yake was pleased, and the four words of the stroke of the pen were 'cold window pen' on the home page. I want to remember my school life and reading experience. But I am a student, an actor, and a housewife, and the real cold window life is only one-third. There are diaries in the pamphlet, there are essays, there are miscellaneous feelings, there are letters..., the messy and trivial is not an article, and the original font is used for steel writers, hair writers, lead authors, scribbles and blur themselves can not be recognized. The diary also had a number of days. Now that I have sorted it out, I know that the title of 'cold window' is very unreasonable on top of these messes. The word 'cold window' is familiar to me and I don't know what it means, and I don't know where it originated. But ever since I inadvertently wrote about my pamphlet, I've fallen in love with him and had to use him. Because from that day on I really felt that there was a cold window standing in front of me. This window is sometimes a small paper-paste window, sometimes a floor-to-ceiling long window, sometimes a school window with a playground outside, sometimes a broken window between pavilions, and sometimes a large window through the wilderness. Sometimes outside the window is the wind, it is rain, it is day, it is night, it is the voice, it is quiet. Every time I think of this window, there is a slight chill, and the bitterness is difficult to say.

As a student, it is inevitable that there is a little self-appreciation, it is a competent and pleasant role, the library, the classroom, the lecture notes are all fresh, and even the broken pen is also conscious.
At noon, he and Yun Er ate a plate of fried cakes in the small rice shop at the entrance of the school, and returned to sit in the library, borrowing a copy of the history of Song and Yuan opera, the cover was very familiar, remembering the bookshelf of the eldest brother.

Today, I got out of class a little early and didn't want to go home, so I went to the Beiping Library to read reference books. Waddling into the back door of the North Sea, the ice shed had been dismantled and the yacht was still covered with snow. It is the early spring in the north, and there is a big sun but it is very cold. Through the desert path, step stone steps. All were quiet, and only a few "clean and tidy" Japanese overseas Chinese nibbled on dry food under the eaves.
Out of the front door of the North Sea, I bought two roasted white potatoes tucked in the coat pocket to shake hands.
Peking Library is a good place and the people who come here are also lovely. An old man with a white beard fell asleep in front of a large stack of threads, snored, and wrote this 'middle school student essay' before the librarian delivered the book.

Innocence is cold, in the classroom hands are also frozen, feet are also frozen, now know that this is the cold window also,
Classmates and others wanted to form a troupe, pushed me as the leader of the troupe, and the name of the leader of the troupe was really afraid of people. The puppet is not what I want to do, and I can't really lead it. After working in theater for several years, he could only act and knew nothing else. School theater companies sometimes have more personnel problems than professional theater troupes, and I'm afraid to do that work. However, when he remembered that the Nanbei Drama Society had been temporarily dissolved due to economic compulsion, it was said: "Although the Nanbei Drama Society has been temporarily dissolved, each of them should continue to work in the theater, or research, or write, or direct, or join other troupes to act." Promote the theatre movement and liaise with professional and amateur groups ,...... 'However...'
Reading the biography of the Qing Dynasty Lingguan, it is recorded that the Lingren Dekui was reprimanded for forty big boards because of the mistake. I want to have a laughing field on the stage now, miss the scene, eat tofu, and be fortunate to be alive in this life, otherwise my ass is afraid not to be broken.
Today's work desire is quite strong, I want to read, I want to write, I want to wash, I want to do work, and as a result, I write seven letters, wash twenty-two pieces, and I am tired and sleep.
