Why do you call Jiang Yang Mr. Yang? She is a woman, isn't she?

Satisfied with the script, turning truth into falsehood, wind powder. Novels include Reflection Collection and Bathing; On the Collection of Spring Mud Collection and About Fiction: His translated works include Selected English Prose since 1939, Little Mount Tai, Jill Brass, Don Quixote and so on.

/kloc-in the spring of 0/932, Jiang Yang was admitted to Tsinghua University Foreign Literature Institute to study. Before that, when Jiang Yang was still in the third year of Soochow University, the headmaster of her alma mater Zhenhua Girls' Middle School won a scholarship for her (pay attention to this word) and planned to send her to the United States for further study. At that time, studying abroad was a wonderful thing. For such a rare opportunity, Jiang Yang hesitated. She used to listen to her father talk about studying abroad. Children from poor families are sent out as "hostages" to study abroad, which is in short supply, just like being caught by foreign robbers and blackmailed by others. In this case, it is better to go to a better university in your own country to study your favorite literature. After careful consideration, Jiang Yang told his father that he didn't want to study in the United States, but wanted to study literature in Tsinghua University.

Later, she was admitted to Tsinghua, so she met Qian Zhongshu. Her parents joked: "Aji (Jiang Yang) is tied to HongLing, an old man under the moon, so I want to take the Tsinghua exam." At that time, there were not many girls in Tsinghua University, and of course there were even fewer women in the institute, high flyers. It's really easy for girls to find boyfriends in college. Jiang Yang is very unique. She doesn't like dressing up as an ordinary college girl. She dresses simply and even looks a little rustic. But after all, she is the daughter of Yang Yinhang, a well-known Shanghai barrister. She was born in a famous family and graduated from an American missionary university. Compared with the general national private universities in China, Soochow University graduates are more dignified. She is not tall, but her face is white and delicate, her figure is graceful, her personality is gentle and kind, and she is smart and generous, so she is naturally admired by boys. People who knew Tsinghua at that time said, "When Jiang Yang entered Tsinghua, he was both talented and handsome. At that time, there were more than 70 boys who wanted to be my spouse, and the banter was dubbed the seventy-two devils. " She still refused in her heart, maybe it was God's will. She was waiting for someone-Qian Zhongshu whom she met later.

Soon after Jiang Yang was admitted to Tsinghua University Research Institute, he knew that Qian Zhongshu, a third-year undergraduate, was very famous. Qian Zhongshu is so famous that freshmen know him as soon as they enter the school. However, his shelf is too big for junior students to visit him at all, so many freshmen think he is mysterious and want to see him more.

1932 In the spring, on a beautiful day, Jiang Yang married this famous genius boy. When Jiang Yang first met Qian Zhongshu, he was wearing a blue gown, a pair of wool shoes and a pair of old-fashioned big glasses. Qian Zhongshu is short and has a thin face. Although he is not personable, his eyes are bright and full of wit and conceit. Although Jiang Yang standing in front of Qian Zhongshu is a graduate student, she looks petite, gentle, intelligent, lively and lovely. Qian Zhongshu left a deep impression on Jiang Yang with his eloquence, memory and humorous talk.

Hit it off, talked about hometown and literature, and my interest increased greatly. They didn't know until they talked about it that they really had a good fate. Eight-year-old Jiang Yang once went to Qian Zhongshu's house with his parents. Although he didn't see Qian Zhongshu, now he is so coincidentally on the "frontier", which can't help but make people believe in fate! Moreover, Qian Jibo, Qian Zhongshu's father, and Yang Yinhang, Jiang Yang's father, are both local celebrities in Wuxi, and they are both praised as "talented people in the south of the Yangtze River" by Zhang Jian, a great educator, and they are both famous scholarly families in Wuxi. It's really "a perfect match." Of course, the biggest fate lies in their common love and pursuit in literature, their mutual attraction in personality and their tacit understanding in mind, which made them fall in love at first sight.

It was in that "thin youth" that this talented person in Tsinghua fell in love with this "clear water lotus" southern beauty. They are not very much in love, but help each other academically and communicate and understand each other spiritually. Literature has become a bridge of their love. Qian Zhongshu's celebrity demeanor and talented temperament make their love unique. From time to time, he asked Jiang Yang to write poems. One poem actually quoted the words of Neo-Confucianism in Song and Ming Dynasties. He himself said, "There are no two people in Neo-Confucianism who come to write love poems." One of them said, "It's hard to get rid of a snake, but you can't keep it firmly." He compared his deep-rooted acacia to a snake sneaking into the grass, swaying but elusive; The castle in my heart was shattered by the arrow of love and could not be guarded. Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties advocated "preserving justice and destroying human desires", but Qian Zhongshu turned decay into magic and turned these hypocritical words of Neo-Confucianism into his own declaration of love. I'm afraid this special way of love is unique.
