In the literary circles of the Republic of China period, IT was also popular to fry CP, and "Ice and Snow Smart" was one of them. Ice refers to the heart of ice; snow is today's heroine Su Xuelin.
In the article "Remembering My Father", Mr. Yang Dai mentioned that her mother loved to read novels such as "Stone Record" or "Liaozhai" before going to bed, and she also read many new novels.
Once, after reading a few pages of Ms. Green Ripple's "Green Sky", my mother asked: "Why does this person also learn Samui's tune?" Yang Dai replied, "She is Su Mei." ”
The mother can distinguish the "tune of Su Mei" from many female writers, and her daughter Yang Dai is very impressed.
Su Mei is today's heroine Su Xuelin.

Su Xuelin, born in 1897 in Ruian, Zhejiang, was originally named Su Xiaomei, the character Xuelin, it is rumored that she is a descendant of Su Rui in the Song Dynasty, and her family is also considered to be prominent.
To her grandfather Su Jinxia, she had been a county grandfather in Rui'an; her father, who was also a reader, had passed xiucai; her mother Du Shi, a virtuous wife and mother, had been guarding her husband and children all her life.
But Xuelin's grandmother is not a fuel-saving lamp, and she firmly believes that a woman's talentlessness is virtue. Therefore, under this constraint, Xuelin was unable to study with the boy from an early age.
At the age of seven, Xuelin roared , " I want to go to school " . Near the water tower platform first got the moon, then she could follow the boys in the family and study in the private school run by her grandfather.
After the boy went to school, Xuelin became an out-of-school child again, fortunately, she was literate, and she turned over "Liaozhai Zhiyi", "Journey to the West", "Water Margin" and so on, enjoying the pleasure of reading.
In 1914, dad moved to Anqing. An uncle who had studied in Japan liked Xiao Xuelin very much and thought that this little girl was the seed of reading in the family. Therefore, he persuaded Su's father to send Xuelin to continue his studies, so that Xuelin could enter a local Christian primary school.
Xuelin had a hard time getting over the addiction of reading, and he didn't expect that half a year later, the whole family would return to the countryside. In this way, Xuelin began to deal with the diehard faction of Grandma again.
Unable to go to school, Xuelin's heart was burning, and he wanted to jump down the mountain stream several times to commit suicide, but fortunately, he was not a hundred.
The old mother saw that she was eager to study, so she took her to the provincial city to continue her studies.
In 1919, Xue Lin entered the Beijing Higher Women's Normal School as an auditor, became a classmate with Wang Shiying, Lu Yin and others, and was also taught by well-known professors such as Li Dazhao, Zhou Zuoren, and Hu Shi, and his eyes were wide open.

In the autumn of 1921, Snow Forest would go to France to study. She didn't tell her mother until the day before she left. After all, it is the persistence of her mother and the nourishment of her mother's love that makes her dream of reading come true.
During the three years in France, Xuelin was often sick due to the lack of water and soil, and it was a visit here.
Eventually, because of his mother's illness, Xuelin had to return to his hometown, which was the summer of 1925.
Men should marry, and women should marry. In the autumn of 1925, Xuelin could not resist the idea of his mother on the sick bed, so he held hands with Zhang Baoling, who had been engaged since childhood.
In fact, this Zhang Baoling Zhang Gongzi has a rather solid family. Dad, is a hardware businessman, originally from Nanchang, Jiangxi. Zhang Gongzi himself graduated from St. John's University in Shanghai, and later went to the United States to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
It is reasonable to say that the male protagonist stays in the United States and the female protagonist stays in France, and the two should have a considerable common language. But unfortunately, between people, there is really an aura drop, wine every confidant thousand cups less, words do not speculate more than half a sentence.
This combination of science and engineering men and liberal arts women can hardly produce wonderful complementary situations, but it shows embarrassment and helplessness everywhere.
After marriage, the couple went to Suzhou to settle down. The male protagonist teaches at Soochow University; the female protagonist is the head of the Chinese Department of jinghai female teacher. Both of them are high-knowledge elements in the workplace, and they are naturally very economically abundant.
But the two really can't call, and the conversation is often chicken and duck. Once, the man asked the hostess of the house to make a bowl of soup for himself and taste the lady's handiwork.
Before he could think about it, Xuelin exploded on the spot: "What do you think I am?" Is it the old mother who waits for you? ”
Xuelin's on-line program made a dispute that could have been resolved peacefully suddenly become a rollover scene.
There is no doubt that Zhang Baoling's favorite wife should be a traditional woman who knows how to read and has a good cooking skill.
The tip of the needle to Mai Mang, after all, is not a good way to solve the problem. Zhang Baoling was the first to make a change, he had learned his wife's hometown dialect within a month in order to communicate with Xuelin.
Unfortunately, the eyebrows were made for the blind man to see, and Xuelin was still indifferent. Married for four years, the two separated.

In 1931, Xue Lin came to Wuhan University to teach under the introduction of his friend Yuan Changying. At that time, Wuda, Xuelin and Yuan Changying, Ling Shuhua, three talented women, often traveled together to taste tea, known as "Luojia Sanjie".
At Wuhan University, Xuelin made many friends and lived a colorful life. But she never filed for divorce from Zhang Baoling, and Zhang himself was always waiting for Xuelin in the same place.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, Xuelin donated his jewelry and manuscript fees into 51 taels of gold. In fact, Xuelin has no children, and this money should be the right way to keep the self-defense pension, but she doesn't mind.
In the summer of 1949, Xue Lin left Wuhan University, where he had been coaching for 18 years, to work in Hong Kong. In 1952, she went to Taiwan to teach at the Provincial Normal School.
In 1956, at National Cheng Kung University in Taiwan, Xue Lin taught courses such as Chinese literary history and Chu Ci.
In 1961, Zhang Baoling, who remained in the mainland, died in Beijing. Before his death, he never remarried. In his later years, Xuelin recalled the bits and pieces with her husband, and she was deeply sorry for this talented science and engineering man.
Before Zhang Baoling died, he had an adopted son by his side, named Zhang Wei, who was the child of his brother's family. In this way, the nephew became the adopted son.
When Xuelin left Zhang's house, Zhang Wei was already in middle school, and he had a lot of affection for this adoptive mother. As a result, Zhang Wei would often write letters to Xuelin to greet his adoptive mother.
At the right time, meet the right person, in order to achieve a happy marriage.
Unfortunately, Xue Lin and Zhang Baoling are really not on the same channel, she likes poetry and song, likes literary writing, and he will only watch her bloom silently.
Everything is attributed to personality incompatibility, which is a bit far-fetched, but Zhang Baoling is definitely not Xuelin's dish. Xue Lin, the most admired type of man, or is it the extremely admired teacher Hu Shi, Zhang Baoling in vain?

In 1984, taiwan and the mainland could not communicate freely. In a letter to Xia Zuli (the second daughter of the writer Lin Haiyin), Xue Lin sighed: It is really boring for people to live when they are old, and they often want to simply leave early.
On May 27, 1998, Xuelin returned to her hometown where she had been away for many years, when she was 101 years old and also met her white-haired adopted son Zhang Wei.
Think about it, at the age of 101, you still have to cross the ocean to return to your hometown, Xuelin is really a maverick woman.
On April 10, 1999, Xue Lin died at the age of 102 at the National Cheng Kung University Hospital in Tainan.
In August of that year, Xuelin's ashes were returned to his hometown thousands of miles away. This was her wish, she wished that she could be buried by her mother's side, always the little girl that her mother loved. The soul returned to its hometown, the fallen leaves returned to the roots, and Xuelin's wish was fulfilled.
Before dying, Xue Lin talked about her marriage, since marriage, she has no love for Zhang Baoling, let alone the peace of mind to become his ideal wife, so from beginning to end, both are nominal. Of course, she is very grateful to Zhang Baoling for her perfection, so that she can devote herself wholeheartedly to academic achievements, which is enough.
Fish, I want, bear paws, I want, neither can the two be combined, and he who gives up the fish and takes the bear paws. Yes, Xuelin did not have the other half of the ice heart like "Ice and Snow Smart", and the career and marriage were both harvested, but it was worth it to achieve a career.
A generation of talented women Su Xuelin, the marriage is so close, after all, it is still regrettable. This maverick woman is not taking an ordinary road in the end...
