Qian Zhongshu said in the preface of Fortress Besieged: "In this book, I want to write about a certain part of modern China society and a certain kind of characters. When writing this kind of people, I didn't forget that they are also people, just people with the basic roots of hairless bipeds. " Qian Zhongshu, the basic root of human beings, expresses his views through the language, actions and psychological activities of the protagonist Fang Hung-chien, whose love story runs through the whole article. Fang Hung-chien's love entanglements with Miss Bao, Su, Yu, let us know about Fang Hung-chien. He is kind and cowardly, not annoying but useless. He can pursue what he likes actively, but femininity also makes him very painful. In that war-torn era, Fang Hung-chien, who returned from studying abroad but accomplished nothing, was besieged by marriage and career. He went in, wanted to come out, but couldn't find the destination of life. It is not necessary to like one more person.

Keywords Fang Hung-chien's personality, love, professional psychology

I have read the novel Fortress Besieged three times, and I am amazed by its sharp language, wonderful satire and more than 700 wonderful metaphors. Mr. Qian Zhongshu is really a great language master. This classic won't get tired of reading it for dozens of times, with endless aftertaste. However, due to my limited ability, I can only figure out the protagonist Fang Hung-chien and console myself with my opinion. Fang Hung-chien's name is by no means random. Some people think that Fang Hung-chien's name comes from "Hong is in the stem", "Hong is in the rock", "Hong is on the land", "Hong is in the wood", and "Hong" means that birds fly in the sky and want to pick a branch to roost, but they fly around endlessly. I think this statement is a bit far-fetched, but it conforms to Fang Hung-chien's fate. Looking at his love story, it is not difficult to taste his personality characteristics.

First, the love between Fang Hung-chien and Miss Bao.

Miss Bao's name shows Qian Zhongshu's dislike of this character. Mr. Wang wrote in Qian Zhongshu and I commented on her like this: "Abalone is the boss, so my wife's surname is Bao." "It can be seen that people's ideas and evaluations were different in the 1930s and 40s. It is part of the truth to compare Miss Bao's scanty clothes to a cooked butcher shop. With the temperament of oriental beauty, those boys are so angry that their mouths are watering. Miss Bao was used to being bossed around by her parents since she was a child. She has a clever mind and understands that opportunity and happiness depend on herself. Confidence is very attractive. He thinks that Fang Hung-chien is a second-class coach and a decent person. He is an entertainment partner in the trip. Although Fang Hung-chien already had a fiance, and his fiance paid for his study abroad, Fang Hung-chien was lured by Miss Bao. Although he is 27 years old and engaged, he has no love training. Because of the emotional temptation of Miss Bao, he has already fallen at the feet of Miss Bao. He was very excited to know that Miss Bao had misbehaved. When he heard Miss Bao casually say, "When we were sleeping alone tonight, his eyes flashed and he suddenly stopped staring, and his whole body was red with shame. "He took a bath, went back to the cabin, lay down and got up again, and dismissed this idea, just like a pregnant woman who had an abortion. These psychological activities let us see the temptation of Miss Bao. Fang Hung-chien, a rookie, can't control his feelings, his desire is infinitely escalating, and he has no determination and integrity. When the ship was about to dock, Miss Bao suddenly changed her face and ignored Fang Hung-chien. Fang Hung-chien was so angry that he burned a cigarette butt in his mouth. He doesn't think Miss Bao is sincere. She didn't change her mind because she had no heart. She can only estimate that the meat will turn sour after a long time. Fang Hung-chien comforted himself with such clever words and precise calculations, but his disappointment, his desire to be cheated and his damaged self-esteem, like a tumbler, refused to lie down and stand up, but shook badly. Seeing Miss Bao pouncing on her fiance's arms, he realized that he had been seduced, thinking that Miss Bao had a little respect for herself and was at his mercy. Fang Hung-chien's first love vanished like this. It should be said that it is not love, but that he is attracted by sensuality. He is in a muddle, he doesn't know what he is pursuing, and he is always confused. He doesn't know that there is no true love without spiritual communion. This brief acquaintance shows us that Fang Hung-chien's emotional world is empty and helpless and ends in failure.

Second, the love between Fang Hung-chien and Miss Su.

Miss Su likes Fang Hung-chien very much. Sue is not a good image in the author's eyes. Although she and Fang Hung-chien were classmates and doctoral students studying in France, Mr. Qian Zhongshu did his best to be sarcastic, but when he was studying French literature, he wrote a paper about 18 vernacular poets in China. He plagiarized his poems and refused to give his love casually. When he is old, he finds himself locked in a box like a finished dress. After a year or two, he suddenly found that clothes and colors were out of date, and he felt a little sorry for himself. Studying abroad now feels very noble and lonely, and no one dares to climb. She knows something about Fang Hung-chien's family background and doesn't hate it. Looks like she has enough money. She intended to take advantage of this voyage to give him a chance to get close, but failed to let Miss Bao take the lead. I am very indignant in my heart. I obviously hate Miss Bao but pretend to be with her, just like a sister. Miss Bao got off the boat and dressed up beautifully. Fang Hung-chien had a crush on her. It can be seen that Fang Hung-chien is very casual about feelings, because he is lonely, bored and empty at this time and has no pursuit, so he gets along with Miss Su. After playing with Miss Su for two days, I realized that girlfriends and lovers are actually very different. In his eyes, Miss Su is the most ideal girlfriend, with brains, status, attitude and looks, which can be regarded as a good family. Going to the same restaurant and theater with him didn't lose his face. Although they are very close, Fang Hung-chien is confident that their friendship will end here. The author also used a clever image metaphor: "It's like two parallel straight lines, no matter how close they are and how long they are drawn, why don't they stay together?" Only when Kowloon saw her blushing shyly before going ashore, her heart suddenly became too soft to jump, and then she felt nothing. Although Miss Su loves Fang Hung-chien very much, it is not difficult to see that Fang Hung-chien does not love Miss Su. But she accepted Miss Su's love. "Life after returning home is really boring. Girlfriends are too scarce now. Just like people who can't sleep, they don't care about the harm of sleeping pills. They must first figure out the comfort in front of them. " Miss Su thinks he is cynical on major issues, but serious on minor issues, which is a bit ridiculous. I think this criticism is justified. Is affection a child's play? He is cynical about love and perfunctory about diplomas. It was under the attack of his father-in-law and father that he realized the importance of a diploma. "This diploma seems to have the function of Adam and Eve's lower body lobe, which can cover up ugliness; A small piece of paper can cover up a kind of emptiness, ignorance and stupidity. " Finally, he had to buy a fake diploma to muddle through. His inner conscience told him that he was just using this diploma to please his father-in-law and father, but he didn't know that the curse he planted affected all aspects of him, which made him unwilling. The importance and falsity of his diploma from San Lv University made him very unfair. I think it's all because of his cynicism. He used the money funded by his future father-in-law to study abroad. He had a wide range of interests, got nothing, and ended up with nothing, which also had a great impact on his career. The failure of his career is directly related to his cowardice.

He obviously has no love for Miss Su, and he found true love only after meeting her, but he thought, "I don't think this situation can be satisfactory. I just want the surface to be smooth and clean, so that Miss Su's love will end in vain. He pitied Miss Su, but she softened him because he didn't love her. He also said that Miss Su was too sharp to get hurt so easily. She should stick to it without pain. " When Cao Yuanlang appeared, she looked jealous, which made Sue believe that Fang Hung-chien loved her even more. She felt that she had gone too far. The moonlit kiss, though light in weight and small in scope, is a kiss at a respectful distance from others and a sign of his cynicism. He felt that the kiss on his lips was very relaxed and should not be used as evidence that he loved her. But his kiss made Miss Su more convinced of Fang's love and immersed herself in the world of love. Finally, Fang Hung-chien found that he couldn't go on like this. He wrote a farewell letter to make her hate because of love, showed it to Tang Xiaofu, and told her everything from boarding the boat to that night, which made him lose his true love. I think this is all caused by Fang Hung-chien's cowardly character, cynicism and taking part in accidental amusement. His indecision hurt Miss Su, which was also the result of his own suffering.

Third, the love between Fang Hung-chien and Tang Xiaofu.

In Fang Hung-chien's eyes, Tang Xiaofu was his favorite, and it was love at first sight. In his eyes, Tang Xiaofu is beautiful: "She has a charming, straight face and two shallow dimples. It is natural that a good face that ordinary women have to spend money and time to imitate by adjusting fat and powder is so fresh that people forget their thirst and feel greedy, as if it were good fruit. Her eyes are small, but she is flexible and gentle. Her hair is not permed, her eyebrows are not tweezers, and her lipstick is not worn. She seems to abide by the limitations of nature with peace of mind and not make up for the defects of nature. In short, Tang Xiaofu is a wonderful flower in modern civilized society-a real girl. " Although it describes Tang Xiaofu in the author's eyes, it can also be regarded as Tang Xiaofu in Fang Hung-chien's eyes, so Fang Hung-chien immediately wanted to leave a good impression on her. It can be seen that Fang Hung-chien's association with Miss Su is to be together, and his happiness is brought to him by love. There is such a description in the book: "His happiness comes from sleep, which made him wake up four or five times. It's like Tang Xiaofu's face in front of his eyes and his voice in his ear. Everything he said to her today, he put his heart on his every move, fell asleep in a daze, and then woke up, feeling that this happiness was buried in sleep and refrained from sleeping. Reheat during the day. " From these psychological descriptions, it is not difficult to see that Fang Hung-chien is trapped in the siege of her love with Tang Xiaofu, unable to extricate himself, and very happy. This is the expression of his sincerity and the confession of his true love. Fang Hung-chien is very likable at this time. They also often express their love through correspondence. However, Fang Hung-chien did not sever the relationship with Miss Su, which made Miss Su deeper and deeper. While enjoying all this, he has been pursuing Tang Xiaofu. Tang Xiaofu loves Fang Hung-chien partly to vent his anger. His cousin's various practices disgusted him and promoted the love of the Tang Dynasty for each other. But when her cousin told her about Fang Hung-chien, she suffered: "Mr. Fang is smart and takes part in everything, but we. The person I love, I hope to occupy his life. Before he met me, he had no past, leaving a blank waiting for me. " Tang Xiaofu's concept of love is clear at a glance, and he never rubs the sand in his eyes. The warmth and thoughtfulness of the past are in his eyes. At this time, Fang Hung-chien's body and mind seemed to be numb by electricity. He only knows that Miss Tang is talking about herself, and he has no mind to understand the meaning of her words. Like a layer of oil paper covering his mind, her words were like raindrops, but the oil paper shook off the weight of the rain. It can be seen that his brain is blank and he is caught off guard. When he heard the parting words of "I only wish Mr. Fang a bright future", he understood in despair. He looked up with tears in his eyes, like the face of a big child who was beaten and scolded. Men don't flick when they have tears, but they can't reach the sad place. It can be seen here that Fang Hung-chien's previous cynicism made him pay a heavy price, although this time he was seriously in love, and his unbearable feelings were revealed in front of his lover, feeling that he was despicable and despicable. He was lovelorn and had been seduced away by Miss Bao. He hurt miss su's feelings, and there is no way to retreat. This time, he was hit hard. When he returned the letter to Miss Tang, he was insensitive. "It took him some time to wake up from the blackout, and he began to feel heartbroken, just like the numbness of his curled limbs. When he straightened out the blood circulation, he felt tingling." "I swallowed the whole piece of pain yesterday, and I didn't have time to distinguish the taste at that time. Now, I chew a deep aftertaste like a cow ruminating. " The two metaphors here are very apt. They vividly described Fang Hung-chien's remorse, remorse and licking wounds. It seems that seeing Fang Hung-chien fall into the bottomless abyss makes people feel pity. Why can't true love continue? Why did their love die? I think this is self-evident. Miss Tang's concept of love: "Before you met me, there was no past, so leave a blank for me." Even if Miss Su didn't tell Fang about returning home on the boat, they had no future. However, knowing Fang's love and regret for her, she also called to save it, but everything was irreparable because of mistakes. I think she might change her mind about love. How can there be such a perfect person? The important thing is that Fang Hung-chien loves her. However, Fang Hung-chien was carried away by a moment of anger, so he didn't have time to argue and didn't want to argue. Male chauvinism made him just want to leave quickly and dare not face the aggressiveness of his sweetheart. He didn't even explain all this to himself and influenced Tang Xiaofu, so now when everything goes up in smoke, his soul mate becomes the distance between heart and heart. What he left behind was unbearable pain, which stayed in his heart for fear of being touched by others, so that when he went to San Lv University to teach, occasionally mentioning Miss Tang still stung his sensitive and fragile heart.

Fourth, the love between Fang Hung-chien and Sun Roujia.

After so much experience, Fang Hung-chien should be said to be familiar with a lot and calm and indifferent. However, he is kind and cowardly, but he can't do without one person-Zhao, who regards Fang as his rival in love and then turns his enemy into his friend. It was he who brought Sun Roujia into Fang Hung-chien's life. In Qian Zhongshu, Mr. Jiang Yang analyzed Sun Roujia in this way, saying that she is the most common person in our circle. She is highly educated and has no special skills, but she is not stupid; Not a beauty, but not ugly, not interested, but have their own opinions. Fang Hung-chien "has a wide range of interests and no experience"; She has no interest except planning. Her world is small, confined to the inside and outside of the besieged city. The freedom you enjoy is also limited. You can squeeze into the city from outside the city or squeeze out from the city. Her greatest success was to marry a Fang Hung-chien, and her greatest failure was to marry a Fang Hung-chien. This is people like us-little women. People think that Sun Roujia wants to marry Fang Hung-chien, which is nothing to criticize. There's nothing wrong with being clever with people you like. However, Fang Hung-chien also loves Jou-chia. For example, "The correspondence between Sun Roujia and Lu Zixiao seems to Fang Hung-chien to be like a mouse biting something on the back wall, which has been disturbed all night and cannot be got rid of. He risked his life to write to Miss Sun. " All this shows that Jou-chia already has a place in Fang Hung-chien's heart, but she still doesn't recognize its existence. Otherwise, how can there be such psychological activities? "When we met in the afternoon, my resentment vanished like a mist in the morning. She has been here several times and has never been able to make him so happy as this time. " All this shows that Fang Hung-chien is in love with Jou-chia, so he will be angry, jealous and so happy when he meets her. Besides, Jou-chia came to see Fang Hung-chien and said something was wrong in the professor's dormitory. She thought she had come to see Lu Zixiao and sat here. "My in the mind a burst of jealousy, like chestnuts baked on the fire. I'm so hot that I'm breaking my shell. I am anxious to find out what happened, but I am afraid of leaving traces of concern and doubt. "These misunderstandings and narrowness all show that Fang Hung-chien fell in love with Jou-chia, who is submissive and calculating. In his eyes, Jou-chia before marriage is gentle and obedient and needs her own protection. However, his married life made him feel lost. Apart from social reasons, he did not complete the role change himself. When a series of unpleasant things happened, he didn't look for problems from himself, but quarreled with Jou-chia, showing male chauvinism everywhere, refusing to accept menstruation's help, leaving home angrily and trying to squeeze out of the city in the besieged city of marriage. Fang Hung-chien's career is not smooth, which affects family harmony. Couples can't face reality calmly. Where is the way out? Perhaps only that war-torn era can tell him the answer.

Finally, look at Fang Hung-chien's personality characteristics. He experienced the love and marriage of four women. He is kind and talented, but his experience a year ago made him feel a lot. He said: "It is naive to think so seriously about love before marriage. To tell the truth, no matter who you marry, after you get married, you will always find that you are not married to the original person, but to another person. " This feeling is also feasible now. He doesn't know that the change of a woman before and after marriage has a lot to do with her husband's every move. Women's happiness is in the hands of men, and of course they will try their best to keep their marriage, become realistic and lose the romance of being a girl. He can't give Jou-chia a happy life. Self-protection is very important. How can he have extra energy to save this family? The economic foundation is the superstructure, and the reality is so cruel that it is impossible not to bow to him. Therefore, "Jou-chia fell asleep and was indifferent to the possibility of seeing Tang Xiaofu again. He really met him, and it must be the same. The reason is that I loved her a year ago and died long ago. I loved her, I was afraid of Sue, I was seduced by Miss Bao, and I died. A few of the dead buried themselves in their memories. They set up epitaphs and graves, and occasionally they mourned, like some feelings for Tang Xiaofu. There are a few people who seem to be dead, but don't clean them up, let them rot and melt, and be eaten by birds and animals-but they can't be eliminated, such as themselves who bought their diplomas from the Irish. " These psychological activities have clearly told us that Fang Hung-chien has lost his original emotional innocence and has been polished by life. He bowed to the society and hid himself deeply, which was more caused by his own personality than social factors. So Fang Hung-chien's love finally failed. Although he is very popular with women, his heart is dead, and he will never have the passion to be with Tang Xiaofu again. The changes around us make us feel sorry for Fang Hung-chien's situation, but at the same time we feel sad and angry for his misfortune. If he can study hard to get a real doctorate while studying abroad, instead of finding a woman to fill his emptiness, maybe there will be another world in his life.
