His real name is Yang Jikang (19 1 1-). His ancestral home is Wuxi, Jiangsu, and his native place is Beijing. 1932 graduated from Soochow University in Suzhou. 1935 ——1938 Studying in Britain and France. After returning to China, she taught in Shanghai Aurora Women's College of Arts and Sciences and Tsinghua University. After 1949, he worked in the Institute of Literature and the Institute of Foreign Literature of China Academy of Social Sciences. The main works are the script "Proud", "Virtual Reality" and the novel "Bathing". The main achievement of prose creation after the Cultural Revolution is Six Chapters of Cadre School, which describes the author's life experience from the end of 1969 to the spring of 1972 in Henan's "May 7th Cadre School". Another collection of essays, Drinking Tea, partly describes the experience during the Cultural Revolution, but it is more valuable to recall the past of relatives. In addition, Jiang Yang's translation works have also been published.
92-year-old Mr. Jiang Yang, the wife of a generation of literati, recently published a new book, The Three of us, which profoundly recorded her days with Qian Zhongshu and her daughter Qian Yuan. This book maintains the author's always beautiful style: in gentle and plain words, it contains profundity and massiness; It's all about daily details, but there is a strong human touch everywhere, which is unique to real intellectuals.
Nowadays, Mr. Jiang Yang, who is separated from her husband and daughter, always silently misses the three of us. ...
1997, Qian Zhongshu and Jiang Yang's daughter Jane passed away. Mr. Qian Zhongshu died before 1998. The three men were separated. Today, Jiang Yang is 92 years old. "I am alone and miss the three of us." Jiang Yang said. When this sentence often rings in the author's ear, my heart will always be scared. I believe all the audience will burst into tears. ...
Jiang Yang: Dr. Spencer said I would have a coronation day doll. Because he expected the doll's birthday to coincide with the coronation ceremony of George VI (May 12). But our daughter is not interested in the coronation of the king of England. Maybe she doesn't want to come into this world. 18 entered the maternity ward, but 19 tried her best to give birth to her. The doctor gave me medicine to die safely.
When I woke up, I found myself wrapped in a flannel bag like a newborn baby with a thermos at my feet. My stomach is empty, even my belt and bones hurt, and I can't move. I asked the nurse around me, "What's the matter?" The nurse said, "You have worked very hard, very hard." Another nurse probes at the door. She asked me curiously, "Why didn't you shout?" She watched me die in pain without saying a word. Unexpectedly, I said, "It still hurts to scream." They are getting weirder and weirder. "Do all women in China understand philosophy?" "Women in China are not allowed to shout?" The nurse showed me the doll in her arms and said that the doll was born blue all over and she was alive.
This is the birth of Qian Yuan.
When she was pregnant, Jiang Yang thought she could ignore it, but later she knew she had to devote herself wholeheartedly. At the end of the year, Zhong Shu described her in her diary as follows: "It's late, it's late, in general, what I learned this year is not enough …" Laughed at me "Because of my talent, I can be a good wife and mother, and I want to be a female doctor …"
Zhong Shu once said that he wanted a daughter, not a son-just one, like Jiang Yang. Jiang Yang is not satisfied with "being like me". She wants a daughter who looks like Zhong Shu. Daughter, like a clock book, I don't know what a long person looks like and needs a lot of imagination. Later, my daughter Qian Yuan really looked like Zhong Shu, but that was another story.
Jiang Yang: Although political movements emerge one after another, Zhong Shu and I never stop working. He can always find time to study after work; I try my best to read books within my scope of work. I finished the translation of Jill Brass as planned and wrote an academic paper of 50,000 words. I can't remember 1956 or 1957. I accepted the task of retranslating Don Quixote from the three-part editorial board.
In the spring of the anti-rightist movement, my academic paper was published in a journal, which did not attract attention. Zhong Shu's Notes on Selected Poems of Song Dynasty, which was completed at the end of 1956, was published in 1958. After the anti-Rightism, there was another "double opposition", and then a "white flag" campaign was launched in our hospital. Zhong Shu's Notes on Selected Poems of Song Dynasty and my thesis are all white flags. Mr Zheng Zhenduo used to be a big white flag, but when he died in the line of duty, he stopped pulling it. Zhong Shu went to town on 1958 to participate in the finalization of Mao Xuan's translation. All the criticism of "digging out" of his Notes on Selected Poems of Song Dynasty was conveyed by me. Later, due to the admiration of Japanese sinologists Ji Chuan Kojiro and Nana Ogawa Huanshu for this book, it stopped. I only received my deformed little white flag, which was torn down and torn to pieces. I made up my mind never to write an article again, and then I escaped into translation. Zhong Shu laughed at my "rebirthing", and I just wanted to take this opportunity to "escape".
From a woman's point of view, in fact, Mr Jiang Yang is a family of three, and everyone is independent. Needless to say, Mr Qian Zhongshu; Jiang Yang is also very independent. Her plays, translations and novels are excellent. Daughter Qian Yuan is the founder of a discipline (English Stylistics); Each of them is an independent scholar who supports and helps each other in life. Besides being a scholar, Mr. Jiang Yang is also a wife and mother, who plays an important role in life.
At the most difficult time, when Shanghai fell, Mr. Qian Zhongshu went to Shanghai and could not return to the General Assembly. At that time, Mr. Jiang Yang's "Confusing the True with the False" was very famous in Shanghai. Once, on the way back from the play (when Qian Zhongshu was writing the later influential Talk about Art), Qian said: I want to write a novel, too! Jiang Yang immediately agreed: Good! All right! Write quickly! At that time, their lives were very tight! If you have less money, you can teach a few classes and write books in your spare time, so you can earn some money to supplement your family. Jiang Yang dismissed the nanny and took charge of cooking, washing clothes and other housework alone, just to save some money and spend less, so that Qian Zhongshu could teach less classes and write some novels to maintain family life; In another sense, this is Jiang Yang's sacrifice to himself. We can easily understand what this means to a scholar who regards time as life.
So Qian Zhongshu wrote a paragraph and told a paragraph; Qian Zhongshu smiled, and so did Jiang Yang. The artistic taste of the whole novel was thus formed, and Qian Zhongshu's only novel Fortress Besieged was born. Fortress Besieged has been adapted into a TV series, which is well known to women and children, but few people know that its writing background is such a situation, which is inseparable from Jiang Yang's understanding and support.
Everyone in a family of three has their own knowledge to do, but in the most difficult time, Jiang Yang has shouldered the heavy burden and let her husband and daughter concentrate on their work. Among them, Qian Zhongshu was seriously ill and his daughter Qian Yuan was hospitalized. She goes to see her every day. By this time, Qian Zhongshu could no longer eat. She always beats all kinds of fruit paste and meat paste to improve Qian Zhongshu's nutrition. Even the fish have to pull out the thorns one by one with a needle, but she can "make do" herself!
Jiang Yang: There will be no simple happiness on earth. Happiness is always accompanied by troubles and worries. There is no eternity in the world. We have a rough life and a place to live in our twilight years. However, the old illness has urged us to come to an end on the road of life. 1997, Jane passed away. Zhong Shu died on 1998. The three of me were separated. I lost it so easily. Good things in the world are not firm, colorful clouds are easy to disperse, and glass is fragile. Now I'm the only one left. I clearly see that the apartment that used to be "our home" is just an inn on the trip. Where is home? I don't know. I'm still looking for my way home.
After her husband and daughter died one after another, the first thing she did was to sort out Qian Zhongshu's works and publish many of his reading notes. Later, she donated all their manuscript fees and royalties to her alma mater, Tsinghua University, and set up a "study hard" scholarship to reward those students who are eager to learn, have excellent grades and have financial difficulties in their families, so that students can finish their studies without worry. Teacher Qian and Teacher Yang have no other requirements for the award-winning students. They only hope that after finishing their studies, they will one day be able to serve the motherland and repay the society in various forms. Since the establishment of "Good Reading" Scholarship in September, 20001,the funds accumulated from the publishing income of Qian Zhongshu and Jiang Yang's works have reached nearly 2 million yuan, and nine students have won prizes. With the publication of Qian Zhongshu Manuscript (more than 40 volumes), Supplement to Chronicle of Song Poetry (12 volumes) and Fortress Besieged, the total amount of funds will be considerable.
Jiang Yang spent his old age by candlelight. After that, he began to write The Three of us, the unfinished work of his daughter Qian Yuan. At this moment, the three of us are plain and clean, just like Mr. Wang's noble personality.
Today, Mr Jiang Yang has entered the 92nd year of his life!
She is really old, living the life of an ordinary old man. Some of her hearing and eyesight have declined, and she has closed the door to thank guests. There are always friends I know or don't know who call. She always speaks softly and then says that her arm is a little sore, which makes people feel embarrassed to bother again. I think we really don't have to bother. Just read her and Qian Zhongshu quietly. Really, that's enough. In the three of us, we can see such a daunting family and the joys and sorrows of ordinary families. Mr. Yang's writing style is still fresh and elegant, humorous and witty. Qian Zhongshu, Jiang Yang and Qian Yuan are "the three of us". They have different personalities and like-minded, and all regard reading as their own life pursuit, even life itself. Their kindness, wisdom and integrity, as well as their complete openness to life, old age, illness and death, have inspired people and benefited them a lot.
Jiang Yang is sorting out her works at will now, but she says: Only when I finish their work can I feel at ease. It doesn't matter if I leave now, you can rest assured!
"Dreams are lingering, bones and muscles eventually break" (Qian Zhongshu's words), love for women, love for husbands and noble personality are all among them.
