"I'll give you a fairy magic weapon. What do you want? "

As a result, both of them want invisibility cloaks.

Why do you want an invisibility cloak? Because the world is not simple at all, and it is not only not simple, but also too complicated.

You should be an honest man. People bully you and take advantage of you. You're a little slick. People say you're versatile. You have a gift, and many people are jealous of you.

In short, sometimes you give in generously and others push your luck. Do you want to live in peace with the world? That's easy, too. You must not only be strong inside, but also have enough strength to make people afraid to fight with you.

But if you have an invisibility cloak, then if you wear it, others will not see you and will not bother you, so you can do whatever you want, but of course you can't do evil.

Many years later, Mr Jiang Yang 100 years old. By this time, her heart was too strong to need an invisibility cloak.

In the centennial speech, she said: we were so eager for the waves of fate, but finally found that the most beautiful scenery in life is actually inner peace and calmness; We are so eager for recognition from the outside world that we finally realize that the world is our own and has nothing to do with others.

Most talented women in the Republic of China have prominent family backgrounds.

For example, Zhang Ailing and Zhang Jia are both giants, and they are closely related to Li Hongzhang, a powerful figure in the Qing Dynasty. Another example is Lin. If the Lins were not rich, Lin could not have traveled around the world with his father at an early age.

He is not a wealthy businessman, but Yang Jiacai is a real family of literati. Don't underestimate the role of this book. Without the influence of books, talented women can't be talented women.

Jiang Yang's father, Yang Yinhang, graduated from Waseda University and later studied at the University of Pennsylvania. His master's thesis is included in the university's law series.

When Jiang Yang was born, his father was already a famous lawyer.

Both Yang Yinhang and his wife like reading. In addition to reading, Yang Yinhang also writes. His works Xue Ming and Logic are handed down from generation to generation, and they are the real top stream in the cultural circle.

My mother is also a lady who knows books and manners. She is gentle and elegant. She is steady in everything and never impatient.

Born in Jiang Yang, the Yang Yinhang family still lives in a rented yard.

When she was born, her father and mother loved her very much, especially her father, who regarded Jiang Yang as a treasure.

People in troubled times are wandering around, wandering around, and Jiang Yang is growing up. At the age of six, he began to go to primary school and became a restless pupil in the school.

Sometimes she is very naughty. She blew a fluffy ball in class and laughed at it. She was angry when the teacher found something moving. She asked her to stand up and answer the question, trying to give her some color to see see, but Jiang Yang answered the question accurately.

When Jiang Yang was eight years old, he followed his father back to his hometown of Wuxi.

Jiangnan is a poetic place. In the courtyard of Yamato, time and people are gradually passing by. In Yang Yinhang's mind, men and women are equal, and all children, both men and women, should receive the best education. He always thinks that the teaching quality of Qi Ming Girls' School is the best, and he wants Jiang Yang to study there.

However, at that time, Jiang Yang was actually only over eight years old. He wants his daughter to receive the best education, but he feels sorry for her. In order to go to school, he had to live away from home.

So let Jiang Yang choose for himself.

A Ji (Jiang Yang) is young, but she understands her father's thoughts, so she will go.

That day, her mother asked her, "Have you made up your mind?"

She said, "I quit."

Although she said so, tears still flowed out, and she knew in her heart that she could only come back during the summer vacation.

Birds flock, eagles fly high, and all distant places can only go by themselves.

At the age when it is easiest to learn well and learn badly, Aji is lucky because her father is an open-minded person. Instead of binding her with traditional things, he taught her to choose freely and take responsibility for her life.

Yang Yinhang is a person who will be strict with himself. He wants to be the "good guy" he wants to be. He is firmly opposed to a high standard of life and a humble personality.

Once, he took his sister Aji to a friend's house. On the way back, Sister Aji was still lamenting the luxurious style of family life. Yang Yinhang listened and replied lightly: "Don't have a high standard of living."

With such a father, the clever Aji can naturally learn a lot and know a lot of truth.

And the father, for this well-behaved daughter, always needs more love.

After lunch, everyone dispersed separately, and my father stopped Aji: "Actually, I like company, just don't make any noise." From then on, Aji became the child who could take a lunch break with his father. When her father was resting, she read quietly. Sometimes when my father writes, Aji watches and then picks up his father's brush to practice.

As time goes on, people grow up day by day. Under the influence of his father, Jiang Yang likes reading more and more.

Later, father and daughter chatted, and her father asked her, "Ji, how about letting you stop reading for three days?"

Jiang Yang replied without hesitation: "It is difficult."

"You are not allowed to read for a week?"

"A week has been wasted."

After listening to her daughter's answer, Yang Yinhang smiled and said, "Me too."

At the age of sixteen, Jiang Yang entered Zhenhua Girls' School to attend middle school.

It was an era filled with smoke, and even the school became another battlefield. Born in such an environment, Aji will naturally be affected.

On one occasion, Aji was elected as a student representative and needed to give a speech on the street and call on people to carry out revolution, but she didn't want to participate in this activity, and the school also stipulated that she couldn't participate as long as her family didn't agree.

After returning home, Jiang Yang hoped that her father would come forward and say that she didn't agree with her, so she couldn't go.

But Yang Yinhang refused.

He said, "If you don't want to go, don't go. You don't need to borrow dad to stop you. "

She was still worried: "No, the minority should obey the majority."

Yang Yinhang continued to say seriously: "If you obey, you will obey; You have a point, or you can say. Go or not, it's up to you. " To this end, he told his own experience and said to Aji: "Do you know a sentence that Lincoln said? Dare to say no! Do you dare? "

She said, "Dare".

The next day, after Jiang Yang arrived at school, he spoke his mind directly: "I don't agree, I won't go."

Her father taught her not only to follow her inner guidance, but also to face difficulties bravely.

In high school, Jiang Yang couldn't tell the level. Her father didn't say anything about her, just comforted her that it doesn't matter. It will happen when the time comes, and it will happen naturally. After a while, Jiang Yang will.

Sometimes when Jiang Yang was studying, her father would deliberately go to the porch, stand outside the window and test her, pointing to a word and read it to her. When she reads it correctly, her father will laugh. Her father will laugh when she reads it wrong.

Jiang Yang likes reading and Yang Yinhang often buys some books for Jiang Yang. After buying them, she will personally put them on Jiang Yang's desk. If she doesn't read them for a long time, the book will disappear. Once she found the book missing, she would know what was going on. Although her father doesn't say anything, Jiang Yang has learned to read by herself. She has never talked nonsense or promised to read any books blindly. She will keep her word.

Read more and be calm. In high school, the Chinese teacher finished writing poems and asked students to write poems.

Yang Jiangzuo:

"The world is good, and the disturbance is like fighting for deer." It's safe for me to wander around here, but I'm refined. "

The teacher criticized "Fairchild is so quiet."

The world is bustling and most people benefit from it. Only when they are not bound by fame and fortune can they get real freedom.

When the university chose a major, the teacher thought that Jiang Yang was suitable for science, but in fact she liked literature at heart.

She asked her father, "What should I learn?"

Father said, "Nothing should be done. You should learn what you like best. "

In the face of such an answer, she was still a little uneasy, so she continued to ask: "Is it right to ask only your own love?" I like literature. Studying literature? Love reading novels and learning novels? "

"What you like is sexual intimacy, which is what suits you best." Yang Yinhang continued to enlighten her.

From beginning to end, Yang Yinhang didn't tell his daughter what to choose. He wants her to make her own choices and live in the way she likes.

In this world, some people listen to the guidance of interests, some people listen to the evaluation of others, and some people listen to their inner voices.

Jiang Yang chose to listen to his inner voice. She wants to be what she wants to be, not what others expect.

In the third year of Soochow University, Jiang Yang had an opportunity to study abroad, and she gave it up.

She gave up, on the one hand, considering her parents; On the other hand, she actually had a Tsinghua dream and wanted to go to Tsinghua to study literature, so she decided to take the Tsinghua exam.

At that time, there were many masters in Tsinghua, including Wu Mi, Liang and Zhu Ziqing.

When I first entered Tsinghua, I was appreciated by Liang.

Liang teaches French and dictation in the first class. Jiang Yang's answer surprised the teacher, so she asked the teacher how she learned French. Jiang Yang replied: "Self-study."

Tsinghua is the starting point of Jiang Yang's further journey. Here, she also met a person who had to write about Jiang Yang-Qian Zhongshu.

Jiang Yang is a very likable girl. Her roommate summed up five conditions for boys to like her:

First, it looks good.

Second, young.

Third, good homework.

Fourth, good health.

Fifth, the family is good.

With these conditions, there will naturally be more people to pursue and more love letters to receive. There is also an rumored boyfriend Fei Xiaotong, but she didn't say anything until Qian Zhongshu appeared.

Jiang Yang and Qian Zhongshu fell in love at first sight. Qian Zhongshu has been fascinated by Jiang Yang since he met him once. He wrote to Jiang Yang and asked her out to meet him.

Jiang Yang naturally has a crush on this famous genius in Tsinghua. When they met in the I-shaped hall, Qian Zhongshu said, "I'm not engaged."

Jiang Yang said, "I don't have a boyfriend."

They said it almost at the same time, only that fate is so magical. Some people meet for the first time and promise for life.

After that, Qian Zhongshu wrote to Jiang Yang almost every day, but Jiang Yang didn't reply very much. Qian Zhongshu asked her why, but she only replied that she didn't like writing letters.

Qian Zhongshu is proud in Tsinghua, but Jiang Yang is also famous in Tsinghua.

At that time, Mr. Zhu Ziqing was still in Tsinghua, and Jiang Yang took his prose exercise course. In the first class, Zhu Ziqing asked everyone to write an article called "Receiving Footprints".

On that occasion, Jiang Yang's article was appreciated by Zhu Ziqing and recommended to Shen Congwen, editor of Ta Kung Pao Literary Supplement.

After the article was published, Ta Kung Pao gave Jiang Yang 5 yuan the payment. Later, Zhu Ziqing recommended another novel of hers for publication.

During her lifetime, Jiang Yang made great achievements in translation, writing and drama. Even Qian Zhongshu praised her prose.

1935, Qian Zhongshu completed his service in China and successfully obtained the number of places to study abroad.

However, Jiang Yang has not graduated from Tsinghua Institute.

However, for Qian Zhongshu, she resolutely chose to drop out of school because she knew this talent too well. Although she is a genius, she is extremely stupid in front of life.

"He can't tie the butterfly button of his shoelaces, he can't even tell his left foot from his right foot when he wears shoes, and he can't use chopsticks. He has no charm at all, like a child who knows nothing. "

Parents are also very supportive of Jiang Yang's decision.

Although Qian Zhongshu is all thumbs, he has always been very keen on Jiang Yang.

On the first day when I moved to my new home, I prepared a big breakfast for Jiang Yang, including butter, jam, honey and the best sunshine.

No one is born to live, and everyone has to study to live a good life. Jiang Yang is, so is Qian Zhongshu.

Although the economy is limited, the days abroad are well managed by them, with you, me, love and warmth.

Shortly after going abroad, Jiang Yang became pregnant. Qian Zhongshu said, "I don't want a son, I just want a daughter, just like your daughter." Jiang Yang smiled and said nothing but said to himself, "I hope my daughter is like you."

They rushed to the hospital when the baby was about to be born. The doctor asked if it was necessary to be a woman doctor. Qian Zhongshu said, "The best."

1May, 93719th, Jiang Yang finally gave birth to a girl, and this girl is Yuan.

During the confinement, Qian Zhongshu was alone at home, and various situations occurred from time to time.

He ran to the hospital and said to Jiang Yang, "I did a bad thing, knocked over the ink bottle and stained the tablecloth of the landlord's house."

Jiang Yang replied, "Never mind, I will wash it."

"I did something bad and broke the desk lamp";

"Never mind, I'll fix it."

"I did something bad. I lost a ball at both ends of the door shaft and the door wouldn't close. "

"Never mind, I'll fix it."

There are many such things, but as long as you hear Jiang Yang say "Never mind", Qian Zhongshu will rest assured.

When Jiang Yang came home, the tablecloth was cleaned, the desk lamp was repaired and the door was repaired. This home is a perfect home again.

On one occasion, Jiang Yang read a sentence about marriage and read it to Qian Zhongshu:

I never thought about getting married before I met her. I have been married to her for decades, and I have never regretted marrying her, and I have never thought about marrying another woman.

After hearing this, Qian Zhongshu immediately said to Jiang Yang, "I am just like him."

Jiang Yang also said, "Me too."

In foreign countries, they are all bookworms, so reading is the most needed food. Here, you can read books anytime and anywhere, and there are endless books. Basically, they spend all their spare time reading.

I often borrow many books, such as literature, philosophy, psychology and history. When I find a fixed position, I try my best to read them.

As an auditor, Jiang Yang has no fixed courses, so she arranged a detailed reading list for herself.

Go out occasionally, go to the bookstore and read in front of the bookshelf.

When they got home, they went on reading.

Later, I was far away from money. Although I had to take care of my children, reading was still the main content of my life.

"We read books, and she draws and plays quietly. Sometimes the old lady across the door carries her to play. We buy a cart and push her out every day. "

When he was abroad, Jiang Yang also wrote many beautiful articles.

In 1942, Chen said, why don't you write a script?

Jiang Yang decided to give it a try, so there was a play "Satisfied".

After the manuscript is completed, the script is first given to Chen for "guidance".

After reading it, Chen said, "Your one-act play is too long and the whole play is too short. It needs to be rewritten."

She seriously considered the suggestion and rewrote the play.

After reading the revised script, Chen said, "This time.

"Satisfied" premiered 1943, winning bursts of applause. It was this script that made her use the pseudonym Jiang Yang.

Since then, her plays have been published continuously, and Making a False Reality has achieved unprecedented success. Jiang Yang's name is also known by more and more people, and even many college students and drama lovers regard Jiang Yang as their idol.

She appeared with Qian Zhongshu. People always introduce her first, and Qian Zhongshu is introduced as "This is Jiang Yang's husband".

Later, Qian Zhongshu told Jiang Yang that he would write a novel, and Jiang Yang was very happy.

In order to let Qian Zhongshu concentrate on his creation, Jiang Yang personally took care of everything at home.

"chopping wood, making a fire, cooking, washing clothes, etc. I am a layman. I often dye soot into my face, or smoke my eyes with tears, or boil oil, or cut my fingers. " But I am eager to watch the clock write Fortress Besieged, and I am willing to be a maid in the kitchen. "

The creation of Fortress Besieged is not fast, about 500 words a day. Every time a manuscript is finished, Qian Zhongshu will first show it to Jiang Yang, making Jiang Yang the first reader.

Every time Jiang Yang looks at it, he stares at Jiang Yang, nervous as a child.

After the draft of Fortress Besieged, Li Jianwu couldn't help but sigh: How did this bookworm, a scholar, write a novel? And it's a satire, a New Scholars!

Fortress Besieged was on fire, and they both appeared together. People said, "This is Qian Zhongshu's wife.".

In any case, they have always been evenly matched and walked side by side.

They will not be jealous of each other's achievements, nor will they feel superior because of their own achievements.

Real scholars, the world is simple, but the real world is often much more complicated. During the period of "ideological reform of intellectuals", although Jiang Yang performed well, he was not spared.

Some students jumped out and said:

"Mr. Yang Jikang doesn't talk about workers in class, but only falls in love."

"Mr Yang Jikang taught us that in love, we should forget to eat and sleep."

"Mr. Yang Jikang taught us that when we meet a lover, we should be pale and powerless."

"Mr Yang Jikang even taught us that married women should also fall in love."

This female classmate preached Jiang Yang's "guilt" with indignation, but in fact, this female student is not a student in Jiang Yang, and Jiang Yang never talked about these things in class.

In this case, she pretended not to hear, very calm.

When she got home, she thought, "If I were a delicate woman, what face would I have?" ? I had to close the door and hang myself! "

The next day, she wore a festive dress and went out.

However, at a criticism meeting not long after, Jiang Yang's name was singled out and finally published in People's Daily.

Jiang Yang saw it and said:

People who know me know it or not, so let them think what they want. In life, grievances are inevitable.

With the beginning of the great adjustment of intellectuals, Jiang Yang and Qian Zhongshu were assigned to the Tsinghua University Institute of Literature and became researchers.

After work, they read and write at home. The world is in chaos, and they seek peace for themselves.

Qian Zhongshu taught Jiang Yang to write. Every day, he assigns homework and must finish it on time. He also carefully revised it and marked with a pen where it was good and where it needed improvement.

Jiang Yang attached great importance to Qian Zhongshu's comments. She will be very happy if she speaks highly of them. Qian Zhongshu knew her mind, deliberately didn't give so much praise, and chose to write badly.

However, many things cannot be changed by someone. Although you close the door, people will pry it open.

1966, Jiang Yang and Qian Zhongshu were supervised in tandem, their wages were gone, their deposits were frozen, and they had to accompany them every day.

Being criticized does not count. May be beaten, all kinds of rectification.

Jiang Yang's head has been shaved, so she can't go out with it, but she doesn't have a hat and can't wear a headscarf in summer. Qian Zhongshu was in a hurry, and Jiang Yang comforted him in turn and said, "The enemy will block the water."

Finally, she really thought of a way to make herself a wig and take it out the next day, but it didn't end there. People pulled her wig when they saw her wearing it, and she didn't even dare to buy food.

Jiang Yang's job is to clean the toilet. Jiang Yang cleaned the toilet spotless every day and gave it back to strangers.

1969 1 1 In June, Qian Zhongshu was arranged to study in school.

In fact, the so-called cadre school is to exercise at work. After that, they don't know when they will meet again.

But after a while, Jiang Yang also left the ultra-leftwing. On the eve of leaving the cadre school, her son-in-law was forced to commit suicide.

Then, my sister died of illness. It never rains but it pours. Under such a blow, this little woman in her fifties is also teetering.

When going to school, Jiang Yang's job is to look at vegetable fields, and Qian Zhongshu's job is to look at things, patrol the night and occasionally deliver letters, which gives Qian Zhongshu a chance to meet Jiang Yang.

Every time he walks through the vegetable fields guarded by Jiang Yang, he meets Jiang Yang at the edge of the vegetable fields.

"We old couples can often meet in the vegetable garden, which is far better than seeing lovers in the back garden in old novels and old plays."

It was not until 1972 that the cadre school life ended.

Jiang Yang is a writer and translator. She taught herself Spanish in order to translate Don Quixote.

1966, Don Quixote has been completed for three quarters, but because of the Cultural Revolution, Don Quixote was taken away as a black manuscript.

Later, in the process of being arranged to clean the ladies' room, she tried to search her own manuscript every day. Once, when she was cleaning up the waste paper pile, she actually saw her Don Quixote.

She was so excited that she held her tightly in her arms, but she was still found.

The man asked her loudly, "Yang Jikang, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yang said, "This is my manuscript!"

"This is your manuscript, but you can't take it away now. I'll pay you back then. "

The trend of ideological transformation gradually receded, and everything became calm. Jiang Yang asked for her manuscript, and the next day, she really got her manuscript.

Don Quixote can go home, published in 1978.

1979, Don Quixote translated by Jiang Yang was presented to the Spanish king as a national gift. 1986, the Spanish king awarded Jiang Yang the "King Alfonso X Wisdom Cross".

In that era full of suffering, was she asked if she regretted staying at home? She said, "There is nothing to regret. People don't necessarily live for happiness. "

1977, the darkness cleared, the light came, and Mr. and Mrs. Jiang Yang also had a new residence.

That is the dormitory allocated by the state.

Someone asked Jiang Yang: Is the house enough?

I didn't want to do this at first, she said.

Two bookish houses, that is, there are many trees, but the study is not enough, and the living room has become a study.

At the hottest time of Fortress Besieged, readers of Qian Zhongshu received many letters, and some even visited at home, but they just wanted to keep their purity.

Huang Yongyu, an old urchin, returned to Xiangxi and brought them local specialties. He just left them at the door and never knocked on their door.

When someone came to visit, Jiang Yang refused directly at the door.

1On March 4th, 997, the only daughter, A Yuan, left them.

At that time, Qian Zhongshu was also ill in hospital. Jiang Yang didn't tell Qian Zhongshu about Yuan's departure for fear that he couldn't stand it.

On the day of Yuan's cremation, Jiang Yang did not go. She needs to go to the hospital to take care of Qian Zhongshu.

Next to the smiling portrait of Qian Yuan, there is an exquisite flower basket with several numbers on it: Your beloved daughter rest in peace! Mom and dad are in pain.

1998 65438+ In February, Qian Zhongshu passed away.

Before his death, his last words to Jiang Yang were "Live well".

With her daughter gone, her husband left, leaving Jiang Yang alone to clean the choppy battlefield.

By this time, Jiang Yang was over eighty years old, her daughter and husband had died, and she was exhausted.

However, the dead rest in peace and the living continue. She will continue to clean the battlefield and do what she promised Qian Zhongshu-live well.

After that, Jiang Yang lived in seclusion at home, quietly reading, writing and sorting out Qian Zhongshu's collected works.

1999, she turned over the philosophical work Fido.

In 2000, he published the literary works from Bingwu to Exile.

At 200 1, Jiang Yang made a decision:

She donated all the royalties of the couple to Tsinghua University and set up a "study hard" award fund. She seldom went out, attended the donation ceremony of the "study hard" scholarship, and donated 720 thousand yuan for the manuscript and later published works.

During the speech, the host indicated that she could sit and talk, but she said, "I am small and have to stand and talk."

"This time I speak on behalf of three people, on behalf of myself, the late Qian Zhongshu and my daughter Qian Yuan ..."

In 2002, The Three of us was finalized, and it became a best seller after publication, which made people cry.

In 2007, he published Walking on the Edge of Life-Ask yourself and answer yourself.

20 1 1 year, Jiang Yang is one hundred years old.

People always have an ending in this life. Some people bury their souls at the age of 28, and some people will live forever even if they die a long time.

In recent years, Mr. Jiang Yang has always said, "Mr. Qian and A Yuan are gone, and my road is over."

On May 25th, 20 16, she cleaned the battlefield of life and left.

There are more than 2.5 million words left, such as Walking on the Edge of Life, The Three of us, Six Chapters of Cadre School and the translated works Don Quixote and Fido.

Jiang Yang once translated a poem by the English poet Rand:

"I don't argue with anyone,

I don't care who I fight with;

I love nature,

Secondly, art;

My hands are burning the fire of life to keep warm;

The fire has gone out, and I'm ready to go! "

I think this poem is her whole life. She doesn't argue with anyone and doesn't care.

But because it is indisputable, it is the strongest.
