How did the scandal about female writers in the literary world of the Republic of China fall in love and kill each other?

Female writers in the Republic of China have their own ways of love and hate. Who is the woman standing at the top of the food chain?

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

There are women in the rivers and lakes, swords and shadows.

In that turbulent era, various ideas collided fiercely, and the literary and art circles showed unparalleled vitality.

Is the golden scale something in the pool? It will turn into a dragon in a storm.

The boudoir ladies picked up their pens, and the times made them. Their great fame in the literary world became a legend that modern people could not reach.

Scholars despise each other, especially women writers. Several of the most famous female writers in the Republic of China had some different opinions. Although it is harmless, it also has its own means. So who is the woman standing at the top of the food chain?

When it comes to women writers in the Republic of China, people are most familiar with Zhang Ailing, Bing Xin and Lin. In addition, there are Pan, who is not so famous in modern times, and those who are free from the circle of writers and focus on translation. These people have their own personalities and strengths in the field of literature. It's hard to say who is the best. Zhang Ailing, Bing Xin and Lin He all have many fans today, but in their time, although they were all famous women at that time.

Friend or foe; frenemy；toxic?friend

Bing Xin was born in a naval officer's family in 1900. She lived well and her parents loved her, so she was loved and grew up. Lin was born in 1904, and her father is a diplomat. She is a concubine, but she is also loved by her father. They are all from Fuzhou, and they are fellow villagers.

Bing Xin and Lin used to be "close friends". In the eyes of future generations, this close friend has to be quoted, because they are simply plastic sisters.

They have no chance, they rely on their husbands.

Bing Xin and Lin don't know each other, but Bing Xin's husband Wu Wenzao and Lin's husband Liang Sicheng were good roommates in Tsinghua University. Later, Wu Wenzao and Bing Xin went to Cornell University to study French, and Liang Sicheng and Lin went to Cornell University to visit friends. Two couples had a good time and went for an outing together. The photos taken at that time are still circulating today. In the photo, the two lesbians who turned against each other later seemed to be very quiet and smiling.

In fact, it is obvious from the photos that they are not the same person. Lin is beautiful and exquisite, dressed in fashion, and Bing Xin looks ordinary, simple and generous. They stand together, the contrast is too fierce, and Bing Xin is destined to be a green leaf. I don't think any woman can stand this.

The real contradiction between them is that after returning to China, Lin likes to open a salon. At that time, many influential scholars were her guests, not only in the literary world, but also philosophers Jin, physicists Zhou Peiyuan and archaeologists, including her husband and architect Liang Sicheng. It can be said that Lin's salon gathered a group of top intellectuals in China at that time, and Lin, as the host, was one of them with high IQ.

However, conservative lesbians don't like this kind of married woman who still plays among men.

So 1933, Bing Xin published the novel Our Wife's Living Room in Tianjin Ta Kung Pao. The article is full of ridicule and satire, and everyone with a discerning eye is alluding to Lin.

Scholars hate this, write something to criticize it, confront it face to face and don't want to admit it. It seems that others are seated in the right place, and they can't swallow this tone without hitting their faces.

I have to say that Lin is really an amazing woman. She was traveling in Shanxi with her husband at that time. What is the most famous old vinegar in Shanxi? After learning that Bing Xin had written an article satirizing her, Lin asked someone to send her an altar of Shanxi mature vinegar.

It's really funny and cute.

This is the end of the two people's investigation. Although Lin later satirized Bing Xin in a letter to her only female friend Wilma, it was a private speech.

Mutual aversion

Born in 1920, Zhang Ailing is 20 years younger than Bing Xin, but she has a famous saying-to become famous while it is early, and she has practiced it herself. /kloc-started publishing novels in the school magazine at the age of 0/2. By the time she was 23, she had made many achievements in literature and became the most popular female writer in Shanghai at that time.

Due to the injury of her family background, Zhang Ailing is withdrawn and has no good friends except Su Qing and Yan Ying.

Su Qing was also a famous female writer at that time. Once a Shanghai female writer got together to talk, and she and Zhang Ailing were there. At that time, a female writer praised Bing Xin, but Su Qing said: I have read Bing Xin's poems and articles before and found them beautiful. Later, when I saw her photo, it turned out to be ugly. I think that she often shows off her feminine beauty in her works, so I am not interested in reading her articles any more. This is ridiculous.

This is Su Qing's fault. If we judge an article according to its own merits, we should judge it only according to its writing quality. It's too much to rise to the surface and make personal attacks. Isn't this her own arrogance and prejudice?

Of course, good friends should stand on the same side, so Zhang Ailing echoed: Bing Xin's modesty is often a pure affectation.

Zhang Ailing's evaluation is sincere, because she and Bing Xin are not a style of writing at all.

That's not all. Later, the two good friends had business contacts, and Zhang Ailing prefaced Su Qing's book. In "I See Su Qing", there is such a passage: "If I have to comment on female writers in a special column, I can't be proud of comparing myself with Bing Xin and Bai Wei. I only want to compare myself with Su Qing."

If you want to preface a good friend, you have to step on others to support yourself. If you put it aside now, it will definitely cause a bloody battle among fans.

Moreover, Su Qing and Zhang Ailing later broke off relations because of Hu Lancheng, and it was particularly embarrassing to flatter each other before.

How did Bing Xin respond to Zhang Ailing's evaluation? The answer is no response.

Pretend to be struck by lightning

In addition to her good literary talent, Zhang Ailing is also famous for her poor personal morality, which is mainly manifested in hooking up with a married man and a traitor Hu Lancheng, and her political attitude is unclear.

In fact, she is really wronged. Many female writers were tough at that time. Xiao Hong was pregnant with three men before marriage. Ding Ling once fantasized about being with two men at the same time. Even Zhang Ailing's good friend Su Qing had an affair with Hu Lancheng.

However, Zhang Ailing's writing style is sharp and she is good at cynicism. Unless she is a big boss like Lu Xun who can beat Confucianism with one enemy, most people can't spray her.

In order to pay attention to Zhang Ailing, Hu Lancheng strongly advocated Zhang Ailing's life experience and their love in the newspaper. In "On Zhang Ailing", he praised Zhang Ailing's article "Looking at the Peak" and advocated her "aristocratic lineage". Even Fu Lei's well-intentioned criticism of Zhang Ailing is extremely ironic.

As the saying goes, don't pretend to be forced, install lightning strikes.

Zhang Ailing's grandmother is Li Hongzhang's daughter, and indeed she was born in a famous family, but in the Republic of China. Is it interesting to keep bringing this up? Not to mention that Hu Lancheng is a traitor with a family. Is it worth showing off together?

Zhang Ailing's old friend Pan also thinks so. She published an article about Hu Lancheng and Zhang Ailing in the newspaper. The name is interesting and the article is interesting. One is to praise Hu Lancheng's identity and call him "the number one politician". Didn't Hu Lancheng say that Zhang Ailing's article was horizontal? Ask Hu Lancheng when and how he looked sideways.

I suspect that Liu Dai Pan was driving the car, but I have no proof.

Pan also satirized Zhang Ailing's aristocratic lineage. She said that Li Hongzhang was a slave of the Qing Dynasty, not an aristocrat, and Zhang Ailing, a distant relative of Li Hongzhang who had been sent for generations, was even less qualified to be an aristocrat. She also compared a chicken drowned in the Pacific Ocean, and Shanghainese who drank Huangpu River claimed to have drunk chicken soup. This is not Liu Dai Pan's self-proclaimed silence, but a complete failure.

As soon as this article was published, the word "noble" became popular. Writer Chen Dieyi runs a coffee shop in Greater China. After the article was published, he introduced the aristocratic sparerib noodles.

After this article, Zhang Ailing broke off contact with Pan.

There are worse things.

Jiang Yang always thinks she is a warm old lady, optimistic and open-minded, but in fact, Jiang Yang has a poisonous tongue. She once satirized Zhang Ailing. To sum up, there are many things I don't like about Zhang Ailing's ugliness.

After Jiang Yang's death, her good friend Zhong Shuhe published a nostalgic article written by others in Hunan Daily-"Keeping warm with the fire of life-two letters from Jiang Yang to Zhong Shuhe". The article mentioned Jiang Yang's evaluation of Zhang Ailing: I think you all take Zhang Ailing too seriously, and I am biased against her. My niece and Zhang Tong are students of St Mary's Girls' School. My niece said that Zhang Ailing was going to show off when she died. To be fair, she writes very well. But the artistic conception is humble. The women in her novels are all sexually active. You and I live in different times. When you were not invaded by the Japanese invaders, in my life, traitors were enemies and had no tolerance for traitors. People in the "Greater East Asia Glory Circle" are all ugly in our view. Xia Qing took a fancy to Zhang Ailing, but he later told Qian Zhongshu that he was startled when he first met Zhang Ailing in America. She behaves unnaturally and looks terrible. Now people who admire her beautify her as beautiful as she thinks (as evidenced by photos). I haven't seen her. Her friend Su Qing came to see me. Su Qing is very honest. She asked me to play her ten-year marriage.

A long passage, focusing on ugliness and many things. The point is that she has never seen Zhang Ailing. Everything is handed down by her niece, which is inevitably biased and unfair. To be fair, people don't choose their looks, and ugliness is also a crime? So, Su Like Qing, she likes to judge a book by its cover. In addition, where are the female characters in Zhang Ailing's novels? It is even more nonsense to say that Zhang Ailing is a traitor. She just loves the wrong person, but she has never been a traitor. Zhang Ailing also wrote articles to defend herself.

On the contrary, Jiang Yang's wussy Su Qingke is not honest, and there are only many more men than Zhang Ailing.

Here is an interesting phenomenon. Big beautiful women generally don't point fingers at other people's looks. Lin never criticizes others for being ugly. On the contrary, ordinary people like to criticize other people's looks.

People always have temperature.

Although Jiang Yang's evaluation of Zhang Ailing is very low, Zhang Ailing's character in her later years is much calmer, and her pride in her youth is gone.

Jiang Yang published Six Chapters of Cadre School in1980s, and someone sent a copy to Zhang Ailing. Zhang Ailing wrote in her reply: "The last six chapters of Jiang Yang are really well written, which dilutes the humor. And there is a strange feeling of heaven and earth. " This is written by Zhang Ailing, and it is already highly praised.

I just don't know whether Zhang Ailing knows what Jiang Yang said about her. If she knew that she could give such an objective and fair praise, Zhang Ailing in her later years was really open-minded.

There are so many forests, which female writer of the Republic of China is the woman at the top of the food chain?

Jiang Yang, a century old man, was born in191,died in 20 16 and lived in 105. The longer he lives, the more he is deified in people's hearts, leaving only praise. Who will be too hard on a centenarian?

Bing Xin died on 1999, and lived for 99 years, Pan died on 200 1, and lived for 8 1 year. Zhang Ailing died on 1995, and lived for 75 years.

Lin died in 1955 and lived for 5 1 year. She died too early to take care of the aftermath, leaving her husband's second wife to slander and splash dirty water. All Lin's bad words are the "credit" of this mistress. The strange girl, who is obviously a patriotic and caring country, has been slandered as a "green tea bitch".

It can be seen that if you want to stand proudly in the East, work at sunrise and rest at sunset, there is no other way but to live a long life and kill all your enemies.
