Liu Shipei
Zhang Ailing once said: "Become famous early", but most of the lonely people who do learning are late, and in the early 19th century, there was a maverick person named Liu Shipei.
As a teenager, he traveled through Chinese and Western cultures, married Ru huamei at the age of 20, and became a professor at Peking University at the age of 33, but he died young at the age of 35, and his short life of 35 years was even more wonderful than the stories in the book.
However, what is not perfect is life, wonderful is wonderful, Liu Shipei's life and consummation have no half-cent relationship.
Born into a famous family, gifted, all the way noble, but listen to his wife's words, and eventually wandered into the temple clothes, and see how Liu Shipei played a good hand of cards.
Young Liu Shipei
Looking back on this short life when he was dying, Liu Shipei said: "I should not ask about politics in this life," but life cannot never come, and it is too late to repent of death.
If he did not ask about political affairs and insisted on doing academics, not to mention the same as Wang Guowei, but he was not inferior to everyone at that time, after all, in his limited life, he had already made achievements that affected him for a hundred years.
But some people are born at the wrong time, in turbulent times, creating and manipulating people, and some things cannot be decided.
In 1884, the Yangzhou Yizheng Liu family ushered in a small life, this child jiri has a boneless flesh tail that is not up to inches long, and a bright red square mark the size of a dragon's eye in the middle of his left foot.
The old people are more superstitious, saying that this child is born with a different appearance, is the "rebirth of the old ape", and the alien appearance must be surprising, so the family firmly believes that he will be able to achieve a career.
Liu Shipei's writings
As far as the first half of his life is concerned, he did not live up to the expectations of his family, reading the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of twelve, and began to study "Yanzi Spring and Autumn" at the age of thirteen.
The Liu family has studied the "Zuo Chuan" for generations, and if you follow the path of family learning, Liu Shipei may be able to sit on the first chair of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty.
But this is just the beautiful imagination of the world, people are not as good as heaven, Liu Shipei, a weak scholar, lurks under the appearance of a restless heart, immersed in learning, not what he wants in this life.
The purpose of the ancients to study was to cultivate themselves and govern the country and the world, and doing learning was only a way for them to embark on a career path, not the ultimate goal.
Liu Shipei Kaishu
Liu Shipei is the same, not to mention that he accepts Western thought, naturally he is more reluctant to study behind closed doors, and his pursuit is a "political stage" that he has not been able to understand all his life.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, where old and new ideas were mixed, intellectuals would feel confused, and Liu Shipei was the same.
When he was a teenager, Liu Shipei's head was filled with traditional Chinese classics and Western evolutionary theory, and two very different ideas produced a strong chemical reaction, and he did not know how to choose.
So when he later oscillated between "new" and "old", everything could be explained.
In just 35 years, if you talk about the most beautiful stage, it is about 20 years old, he has made friends, gold list titles, cave house flower candles, as if everything is very happy.
The year before he was 20 years old, he was fortunate to meet Zhang Taiyan, Zhang Taiyan ZiMei Uncle, Liu Shipei Zi Shen Uncle, the friendship between the two masters of traditional Chinese studies was praised by people, and even called them "second uncle".
When posterity talks about the relationship between Zhang Taiyan and Liu Shipei, it seems that the friendship between them is as long as decades, but in fact, in just a few years, their relationship has broken down.
Or rather, it was Liu Shipei who unilaterally declared the rupture, because Zhang Taiyan was very tolerant of this junior who had done something wrong.
The trigger that made Liu Shipei declare a breakdown in his relationship was his wife, He Zhen.
Meeting Zhang Taiyan before the age of 20 was a great blessing for Liu Shipei, and He Zhen, who married Ruhuamei at the age of 20, single-handedly ruined his luck.
Zhang Taiyan
The power of a woman actually made a talented person like Liu Shipei betray Zhang Taiyan, and He Zhen was a woman who should not be underestimated.
The name "He Zhen" was changed after marriage and Liu Shipei went to Japan, her original name was He Ban, the word Zhijian, before marrying Liu Shipei, was a door out, the second door is not out of the big girl.
Can write poetry and paint, virtuous and beautiful, such a He Ban and the "Hedong Lion Roar" after marriage are sentenced to two people.
This matter is ridiculous to say, because the person who turned Lady He Ban into a "humble wife" He Zhen was her good husband Liu Shipei.
Maybe the world thinks that Liu Shipei did something wrong and forced He Zhen into a shrew, but that is not true, Liu Shipei's kindness has caused a big mistake.
In fact, the union of the two is in the form of an "arranged marriage", but Liu Shipei did not resist such an act at all, but instead pampered such a flower-like wife.
In the years after their marriage, Cai Yuanpei was setting up a girls' school in Shanghai, and Liu Shipei sent his wife to study in order to let her receive a new education.
He Zhen
During the Republic of China period, many young people who were hurt by "arranged marriages" would choose to abandon their wives and find other beauties, Liu Shipei not only did not do this, but helped his wife, which was respectable and praiseworthy.
Although his starting point was good, he never expected that this step was very wrong, and then it was even more wrong.
As he wished, He Zhen had indeed transformed into an open-minded woman, who had not opened the door before, and now had to go out in parallel with her husband.
At that time, in the eyes of others, they were a pair made in heaven, one was knowledgeable, one was open-minded, which was somewhat envied by the feudal etiquette tied together.
Around 1907, they went to Japan together to join the League, like a revolutionary couple.
Liu Yazi
The poet Liu Yazi once compared He and Liu to the European revolutionary heroes Sophia and Brudon.
"Generous Sophia, tough Brudon. The beauty is truly unique, and the remaining son is also a hero. Trouble in life, the article sighs. Meet and fight for a drunk, Mo jiao wine bottle empty. ”
However, it backfires and is the norm in life.
With the in-depth study of Western thought, He Zhen's ideological emancipation degree exceeded Liu Shipei's imagination, and he even went a little crazy.
Overheated feminism is understood by her to mean that men must be absolutely subordinate to women, and the excessive interpretation of the idea of freedom and equality makes her disregard the law of etiquette and make private affairs with other men.
In the face of his wife's excessive practices, Liu Shipei not only did not try to reverse her thinking, but blindly compromised, which further encouraged He Zhen's extreme feminist thinking.
The consequence of this is that the beautiful and virtuous He Zhen has become a famous "humble wife", and Liu Shipei is also afraid that his wife is scared to death.
"Overhearing the roar of the lion in Hedong, the cane fell in the palm of his hand in a daze", Liu Shipei's life is like a Republic of China "Chen Jichang".
Zhang Ji, a good friend of Liu Shipei, once recalled: One night, Liu Shipei rushed into his house in a panic, and when he was breathing heavily, there was a sudden rapid knocking sound outside.
Seeing Liu's face pale, he said hesitantly, "It must be my wife who has come, what should I do?" I had to hide! After saying that, he rushed into the bedroom like lightning and quickly burrowed under the bed.
Zhang Ji once opened the door and found that it was not He Zhen, so he asked Liu Shipei to come out, but Liu Shipei did not believe it, and finally was dragged out.
I don't know what happened between Liu Shipei and He Zhen at that time, which made him afraid to this point, and the so-called "inner fear of Yan Wife" is indeed not a lie.
The "three from four virtues" of the feudal period cannot be seen in He Zhen, which is fortunate, but Liu Shipei's obedience to his wife's words is his misfortune.
He Zhen is a talented woman, this can not be denied, she once learned painting from Su Manshu, after arriving in Japan, Su Manshu also lived in the Liu family, He Zhen asked Liu Shipei must be generous to Su Manshu.
It is true that liu shipei did not disrespect Su Manshu, but He Zhen's request was excessive.
At that time, He Zhen learned that Su Manshu's mother was living a difficult life, and immediately ordered Liu Shipei to take out money to help Su Mu, but the Liu family's money was controlled by Liu Shipei's mother, and Liu Shipei was not good at speaking.
Liu Shipei did not say that he would not help, but at first he expressed some embarrassment, so that when he hesitated, he was reprimanded by He Zhen as a "petty ghost without the courage of her husband".
It is conceivable that He Zhen does not look up to such a talented person as her husband at all, otherwise how could he have a private affair with others?
Liu Shipei during his stay in Japan
But Liu Shipei always does not make a sound, and for such a relationship of "women singing and husbands", the friends around him are also uneven.
Zhu Weizheng said: "To be fair, Liu Shipei and He Zhen, named husband and wife, are like lions and sheep. ”
Some people also say that men are afraid of their wives because they love her, and maybe Liu Shipei really loves her, but He Zhen can't help but be able to treat him with sincerity.
Under the extreme feminist ideology, He Zhen abandoned the etiquette he had received before and put a "green hat" on Liu Shipei.
What is unexpected is that this "green hat" did not destroy the feelings between husband and wife, but turned Liu Shipei and Zhang Taiyan into a vendetta against the good friends.
Liu Shipei in the TV series "The Age of Awakening"
Liu Shipei, who has been said to be born with a different appearance since birth, has a very poor physique and is plagued by diseases, and it is also because he is delicate that he will be more afraid of his wife.
He Zhen was quite dissatisfied with Liu Shipei's frailty and illness, and privately reported some inappropriate things with his cousin Wang Gongquan.
Nowadays, people may think that Liu Shipei is a beautiful man, but that is a misunderstanding of the TV series, although Liu Shipei is beautiful, he is thin and weak, not to mention the so-called manhood.
In contrast, Wang Gongquan was tall and tall, and with a list of talents, He Zhen had a private affair with him.
There are rumors that Wang Gongquan was sent by Duan Fang, the governor of Liangjiang in the Manchu Qing government, but that was all afterword, and at this time, his misconduct with He Zhen was what Liu Shipei should pay attention to.
His wife controlled herself so strictly, Liu Shipei never thought that she would have two hearts, and he even took Wang Gongquan to Japan with him and let his wife get along with him.

However, it should be known that those who live together in Japan, as well as Zhang Taiyan, and things that Liu Shipei himself did not realize, were all seen by Zhang Taiyan.
A friend's wife is misbehaving, do you want to tell him? How should I tell him? This is a question that requires careful consideration.
But Zhang Taiyan didn't even think about it, and directly told Liu Shipei, at the same time, Liu Shipei's mother also heard it, and instead of believing it, she scolded Zhang Taiyan for creating rumors and alienating people's flesh and bones.
Moreover, at that time, Wang Gongquan was also very angry, shouting in front of Zhang Taiyan' face, "We have a white knife going in, and a red knife coming out." ”
Liu Shipei's mother did not believe that there was forgivability, after all, the elderly all advocated peace as precious, and did not want their sons and daughters-in-law to be estranged.
But Liu Shipei, the "confused ghost", saw the reaction of his mother and Wang Gongquan, and also felt that Zhang Taiyan was created out of nothing and provoked dissension.
Just think, what is the advantage of Zhang Taiyan doing this? Liu Shipei simply lost his mind, and his strength explained what is called "dog bites Lü Dongbin, does not know good people's hearts".
He believed that Zhang Taiyan had ulterior motives, and the two tore their faces, but Liu Shipei still did not give up and set up a bureau to frame Zhang Taiyan as an "internal ghost" of the revolution, almost trapping Zhang Taiyan in a desperate situation.
The people of the world will be amazed that Liu Shipei and Zhang Taiyan, who have known each other for many years, who are fellow scholars and comrades-in-arms of the revolution, can believe in any shock in such a way, which is indeed unbelievable.
Liu Shipei Codex
Is He Zhen's "pillow wind" too effective? Or is Liu Shipei too unsteady? Probably the latter!
Liu Shipei's infirmity combined with He Zhen's extremism, and it was sooner or later that they "lost their footing," and they soon changed from a "revolutionary couple" to a pair of people who betrayed the revolution.
Liu Yazi, who had previously praised Liu Shipei and He Zhen as revolutionary couples, also said: "The life of Uncle Shen (Liu Shipei) was completely ruined by the hands of his wife He Zhijian. ”
Zhang Taiyan's affair was only the beginning, betraying this kind of thing only zero times and countless times, under the provocation of He Zhen, Liu Shipei fell completely and thoroughly.
In Japan, although Liu Shipei had joined the League, he had always looked down on Sun Wen and wavered in the face of the anti-Qing revolution.
Sun Yat-sen
In the past, whether he was doing academics or engaging in revolution, he had Zhang Taiyan as a partner, and now after turning his face with Zhang Taiyan, he felt a bit unrelated, and the only thing he relied on was He Zhen.
Such a smart person as Liu Shipei, can't see what kind of person He Zhen is? That's not necessarily true, but Liu Shipei's own thinking is complicated.
It is true that he had participated in the revolution, it was also true that he did not hold out hope for the revolution, how to advance and retreat between the new and the old, he needed someone to help him decide, He Zhen went along with the trend, pulled him to the other side.
He Zhen, like Liu Shipei, also advocated the overthrow of the rule of the decadent dynasty, but He Zhen loved power and money more.
Such He Zhen was precisely the breakthrough point for the Manchu Qing government to take over Liu Shipei, not to mention that He Zhen was good friends with Wang Gongquan.
In this way, Wang Gongquan, He Zhen, and Liu Shipei were all bribed by the Manchu Qing government's Duan Fang and became traitors hidden among the revolutionaries.
Wang Gongquan had a scandal with his wife, even if there was untruthfulness, it was time to keep a distance from this person, Liu Shipei was instead in his company, and Zhang Taiyan was an enemy, which was difficult to understand.
One wrong step, one wrong step, joining the Manchu Qing government, is not so simple, after all, he was once a revolutionary, and if he wants to stand up, he must gain trust.
In order to gain the trust of the Qing government, Liu Shipei did not hesitate to sacrifice his former comrades-in-arms, and the three of them betrayed the jiangsu and Zhejiang revolutionaries' uprising plan, resulting in the arrest of the party.
No one was a saint in the face of the revolution, and Liu Shipei's approach successfully angered the revolutionaries, and he soon became the target of the assassination of Wang Jinfa, a Shanghai revolutionary.
However, this time Liu Shipei escaped the disaster, and he knelt on the ground and begged Wang Blonde not to kill him, and was willing to spare the revolutionaries who had been arrested earlier.
Yuan Shikai
When Liu Shipei and He Zhen dreamed of manchu revival, the revolution had already succeeded, and Liu Shipei was naturally arrested, but escaped again.
As mentioned earlier, Zhang Taiyan was very tolerant of this younger generation who had done something wrong, and at this time, he did not care about his previous suspicions, and in the name of retaining the academic seed, he called for the sword to be left behind and spared his life.
Once Liu Shipei bit Lü Dongbin, now he still did not take Zhang Taiyan's kindness to heart and failed him again.
When people thought that Liu Shipei could change his past mistakes, cherish his studies well, and not ask about the world, Liu Shipei already felt faceless in the face of the revolutionaries, simply let go of his hand, and went to extremes.
In 1915, the famous "Six Gentlemen" of the Preparatory Committee in history included Liu Shipei, a generation of Masters of Traditional Chinese Studies who were so obsessed with it, which was really hateful.
After the failure of the restoration of the imperial system, Liu Shipei's reputation was discredited and he was exiled on the streets, and Cai Yuanpei was well aware of Liu Shipei's talent, and like Zhang Taiyan at that time, he could not bear to give up such a talent.
He tried his best to defy the public opinion, invited Liu Shipei to Peking University as a professor, and finally found Liu Shipei in a broken temple in Tianjin, he was not clothed, very depressed.
For more than ten years, Liu Shipei's thousand-mile horse did not lack the appreciation of Bole, Zhang Taiyan, Cai Yuanpei, and repeatedly pulled back this lost horse, but they were always disappointed.
Repeatedly wrong choices finally made Liu Shipei wake up, he decided to teach well at Peking University and start a new person, but it was too late, in 1919, lung disease took away the 35-year-old him.
He Zhen cried bitterly at the gate of Peking University, but her husband's tragedy was caused by her own hands, and if she had a trace of remorse, Liu Shipei would also have a little hope.
From revolutionaries and anarchists to Qing court staff and one of the "six gentlemen" of the Preparatory Committee, he has been hated for thousands of years.
Fearing the Party on the outside, yan wives on the inside, a generation of Guoxue masters, He Zhen's "military master" is his misfortune, but in the final analysis, it is still his own choice.
