As a writer of children's literature in the Republic of China period, Bing Xin used her pen to cultivate a sky for children. Whether it is the warm "Little Orange Lantern" or the infinitely desirable "Stars" and "Spring Water", they all created a clean and warm world for the children at that time, but such a female writer did not get along with her colleagues very happily.
As the ice heart of "one side of the ice heart in the jade pot", she can use her pen to shape such a beautiful world, but why can't she get the recognition of Zhang Ailing, Lin Huiyin, and Lu Xun, who are also literary researchers? Is there something unsatisfactory about her literature, or is her style of doing things unacceptable to them? Today, we will take a look at what the real historical truth is.
Zhang Ailing, as a realistic female writer, her "Red Rose and White Rose" once allowed readers to constantly see their own shadows. It seems that she understands all the love and hate in this world, because the stories she writes make us clap our hands and applaud. Such a person who sees through life has made an evaluation of Bingxin that "the purity of Bingxin is often contrived".
In the era of cannon fire, Bingxin often uses simple and simple words to construct a beautiful and innocent artistic conception for people. With their own warm words, people who have suffered from war and chaos have a fairy tale paradise. That warmth, that harmony, let people enjoy the short-term beauty.
Bing Xin's character is like the Virgin who does not eat fireworks in the world, and the amiable appearance has become people's pursuit of a better life. Especially after the publication of "Send a Little Reader", Bing Xin became one of the literary authors that children liked. But Zhang Ailing is dismissive of such literary ideas, and her friends even say that Bing Xin is showing off women's beauty.
Zhang Ailing's birth environment and encounters are destined to make her works mostly realistic, and she reflects all the real people and real events with the sharpest words, and the darkness and desolation behind those are often reflected in her literary works. Reading Zhang Ailing's works, I see most of the vulgarity of the world's cold human nature, and most of what I feel is the helplessness and melancholy of women in their bones.
Zhang Ailing's style is a realistic reproduction, and many of her works cover her birth and life experiences. Zhang Ailing's realism contrasts sharply with Bingxin's nouveauty, and different life environments create their different styles. The differences in ideas make their works very far apart, which is irreconcilable and contrary.
Such two outstanding women, they are like two dazzling stars at both ends of the scale. As equally proud of their time, not being able to understand each other's styles and works was certainly not a big deal. Perhaps for Zhang Ailing, her evaluation is only from her own point of view to the work rather than to people.
Bing Xin and Lin Huiyin actually knew each other for a long time, on the one hand, their husbands were classmates in college, and the two were also talented women at that time, and naturally had an intersection. On the other hand: their private relationship is also good, during the study in the United States, the two couples also went out to play together and had group photos. Such two people, but because of a piece of article to break off the friendship very thoroughly.
This article is in the form of a novel to create a noble lady of the Ming Dynasty, called "The Wife's Living Room". In this novel, the bourgeois wife not only holds various parties in her living room, but also has a daughter named Binbin. In the novel, a poet with a style very similar to Xu Zhimo is also created.
Not only will he be emaciated, but he will also participate in the next event after attending the activities held by his wife in a very ambiguous way. After Bingxin's novel came out, many people thought that she wrote Lin Huiyin, although she had publicly explained that she was writing Lu Xiaoman, but no one believed it. Among those who did not believe it was Lin Huiyin, who had emotional entanglements at that time.
There is also a reason for this belief, the name of The daughter in Bingxin's pen is homophonous with the name of Lin Huiyin's adopted daughter. The poet of the Yushu Linfeng she wrote was attending different parties in an ambiguous way, which was very similar to Lin Huiyin's situation at that time. According to Bingxin's explanation, Lu Xiaoman did not have any children, and it is no wonder that few people can believe that she wrote Lu Xiaoman.
In particular, the bourgeois wives in the novel often hold parties at home, invite all kinds of rich people to their homes, and navigate the market in such an environment. And Lin Huiyin would indeed hold various salon activities in his home to exchange literary skills with friends, and his talent was also the best in the literary world at that time.
When reading this novel, Lin Hui did not fight because of anger, and as a talented woman of this era, she was not a vegetarian. Lin Hui, who was in Shanxi at the time, sent a special "gift" because of Bingxin, a large bucket of old vinegar from Shanxi. This implies that Bing Xin wrote the novel out of jealousy of his relationship with Xu Zhimo, but Bing Xin did publish statements about Xu Zhimo.
When Lin Huiyin was recuperating in Xiangshan, Bing Xin had already written poems such as "I Advise You" to keep their distance and not go out of line. At that time, Lin Hui, because of the depth of love, not only did not listen to Bingxin's advice, but also said that she was nosy. Therefore, under the repeated persuasion of Bingxin, Lin Huiyin also implied that Bingxin did it because he could not get a lover.
If Bing Xin and Lin Huiyin belong to the entanglement between women, then the collision of ideas between her and Mr. Lu Xun is a collision of ideas. In 1929, Lu Xun gave a lecture at Yenching University, and Bingxin was also here at that time. He felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he satirized several of Bingxin's friends at the beginning of the lecture. This frightened Bingxin a lot.
Mr. Lu Xun and Bing Xin did not communicate privately, and in public occasions and articles, Mr. Lu Xun spoke relatively rigorously and did not mean anything. However, when he published his own letters, he changed his name to another name when he designed Bingxin. In the eyes of Mr. Lu Xun, Bing Xin has entered the literary world in the "name of love", but he is constantly paralyzing everyone's thoughts with beauty.
The reason why Mr. Lu Xun chose to abandon medicine and follow literature when he studied medicine in Japan is precisely because he wants to awaken Chinese through literary works. Therefore, when he saw Bingxin's dreamy works, he was very angry and very difficult to accept.
Bing Xin was a literary researcher who was different from others in that era, and she used her own way to shape a beautiful world for the people of the war-torn era. In that era, it was an era of rising ideas, there was realism, there was reformism, and so on, and many ideas gathered, but only Bingxin insisted on creating the beautiful world in the dream.
Whether it is Zhang Ailing's irony, Lin Huiyin's recoil or Mr. Lu Xun's contempt, in the final analysis, a large part of the reason comes from the difference in literary style and thought. Literati are inherently high-minded, so they naturally want to express these different ideas, and they have our curious speculation about history, but the truth is not all the result of speculation.
