The Life of the Characters in Su's Works

Childhood experience Sue couldn't study like a boy because of her grandmother's feudal and secular prejudice that "a woman without talent is a virtue". At the age of seven, she followed her uncle and brothers into a private school run by my grandfather's yamen, but she didn't understand what it meant. She recited four books, namely the three-character classic, the thousand-character script and the female script. After only one or two years in a private school, all the boys went to school one after another, so she had to drop out. After dropping out of school, I was bored, so I borrowed some popular novels from my uncle and brother as textbooks to read for myself, using one or two thousand words from private schools. Over time, she can not only watch the water margin of the journey to the west, the romance of the Three Kingdoms, the list of gods and so on. I also have to read books like Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio and Reading Notes from Wei Caotang in classical Chinese, and immerse myself in books all day and enjoy myself. Since then, a lonely heart has found new sustenance. Later, Sue's uncles and brothers successively entered the new middle schools or universities in Shanghai. Every winter and summer vacation, they bring back some old and new books and popular newspapers at that time, and Sue takes the opportunity to read them selectively. "Historical Records" and "Hanshu", she has read some selected books; Tang poetry, Song ci, Yuan Qu, Ming and Qing legends, as well as special collections of famous artists in previous dynasties, and even popular translations at that time, such as Evolution, Legacy of La Traviata, Biography of Jia Yin and Heroes of the Crusaders, were fascinated. The hard study in childhood and girlhood laid a solid foundation for her later creation and academic research.

19 14, my father moved to Anqing for the convenience of work. There was an uncle who had studied in Japan and was more open-minded. After persuading her father, Sue was able to enter a local Christian primary school. During this period, he imitated and wrote classical poems. After only half a year, he moved back to Xialing Village with his mother and stopped studying. Soon, Anqing Provincial Junior Women's Teachers College published a newspaper to resume enrollment. After learning the news, Su "spent countless tears, crying, pleading and quarreling" and finally persuaded his grandmother and the stubborn elders in the village. Sue recalled: The more depressed I was, the more enthusiastic I was about learning. When it burned into a white hot spot, I was drunk and wandered in a forest called "water" half a mile away from home. I tried to commit suicide by jumping off a deep stream in the forest several times. If my mother hadn't overcome her obedience to her elders because she loved her daughter and took my cousin and me to the provincial capital to take the exam, my life might have ended in the water.

2 19 15 Sue was admitted to Anqing Provincial Junior Women's Normal School. It is worth noting that he was good at poetry and painting when he was a student.

19 19. After graduation, I stayed in the primary school attached to my alma mater to teach. In this short teaching career, I met Ms. Lu Yin. Sue doesn't want to be a primary school teacher all her life. So I once again asked my parents to continue their studies. My grandmother stopped her marriage on the grounds of marriage, and then stopped forced marriage because Sue was seriously ill, which also satisfied her desire for further study. This year, she walked with Lu Yin, left Anqing and was admitted to the Chinese Department of Beijing Women's Normal University. With the help of teacher Chen Zhongfan, the head of the department, she quickly changed from an auditor to a formal student. When Sue was studying in Beijing Women's Teachers College, it happened shortly after the May 4th Movement. A vigorous and fresh air brought by the new culture movement permeates Beijing; In addition, Su Zeng studied under Hu Shi, Li Dazhao, Zhou Zuoren, Chen Hengzhe and other famous professors and scholars, among whom Lu Yin, Feng, Shi Pingmei and other talented women who pursued women's liberation were deeply influenced by teachers and friends. Her thoughts were also deeply shaken and changed greatly. As she said in My Self-Report-From Childhood to Now (Mandarin Daily, 1969.4. 15). "... I completely accepted this new culture and became a new person. At the same time, he became interested in writing and began to write in vernacular Chinese. He published political articles in the supplements of Current Affairs News, Guofeng Daily, Xue Hui and Morning Post, and participated in debates on social issues.

In the autumn of studying abroad 192 1, she went to France to study abroad. In order to make the trip smooth, she kept it from her family until the night of departure. She was admitted to the Overseas Chinese Law School founded by Wu Zhihui and Li Shizeng in Lyon, France. She studied western literature first, then painting art, and went to France for three years. I was often ill because of my acclimatization. increase

After receiving the letter from home, her father died, her mother became ill, and her marriage problems troubled her, so she had to drop out of school.

1925, Sue returned home early. During her stay in France, she suffered from a very serious illness and was lying in the hospital. Some Catholic nuns in the hospital took good care of her, which gradually improved her condition and restored her health. Sue was deeply moved. Persuaded by a foreign friend, he converted to Catholicism After returning home, she followed her mother's orders and married Zhang Baoling, the son of a hardware dealer she had never met. Zhang Baoling was originally from Nanchang, Jiangxi, and studied at St. John's University in Shanghai. Later, she went to the United States to study science and engineering courses at MIT. Shortly after the marriage, my mother died and she went to Suzhou with her husband to settle down. Her husband teaches at Soochow University in Suzhou, and Su Ze was hired as the head of the Chinese Department at the invitation of Jinghai Nvshi founded by Suzhou Christian Society, and was introduced by Mr. Chen Zhongfan to teach classical poetry at Soochow University. Sue is a new woman, but she is bound by traditional ideas on marriage and cannot be independent. During her stay in France, she wrote several letters to her fiance, and found that they were at odds, so she wrote to her father to ask for the dissolution of the engagement. But her father scolded her in his reply, and her mother asked someone to write to persuade her and even begged her daughter when she was dying. For the sake of her parents, she had to "admit" the marriage. During my study in France, many amorous men pursued me. One of them boldly proposed to her, and Sue was moved by it and even dumped it. But for the sake of his parents' face, he had to reject all suitors who loved or didn't love. She still retains the female morality of China's ancient feudal tradition.
