In that turbulent era, various ideological trends collided fiercely, and the literary and art circles were full of vitality.
Is the golden scale something in the pool? It will turn into a dragon in a storm.
Girlfriends pick up pens, and times create them. Their fame in the literary world has become a legend that modern people can't reach.
The most famous female writers in the Republic of China also had some different views. Although it is harmless, it also has its own means. So who is the woman 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 well-known in modern times, and those who leave the circle of writers and concentrate on translation. They have their own personalities and advantages in the field of literature. It's hard to say who is the strongest. Zhang Ailing, Bing Xin and Lin all have many fans today, but although they were all famous female writers at that time, their relationship was not very good.
0 1
A false friend
Bing Xin 1900 was born in the family of naval officers. She lives well and is loved by her parents. Lin was born in 1904. Her father is a diplomat. She is a concubine, but also a father's love. They are all from Fuzhou, and they are regarded as fellow villagers.
Bing Xin and Lin used to be? Close friends? . In the eyes of future generations, this close friend should be quoted because they are just plastic sisters.
They have no chance. They depend on her husband.
Bing Xin and Lin didn't know each other at first, but Bing Xin's husband Wu Wenzao and Lin's husband Liang Sicheng were good roommates of 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 meet friends. The couple went out for an outing together and had a good time. The photos taken at that time are still circulating, and the photos of two lesbians who later became enemies appear quiet and smiling.
Some unknown female writers appeared in the literary world of the Republic of China. Mutually disabled? rumour
In fact, it is obvious from the photos that they are different. Lin is charming and fashionable in clothes, while Bing Xin looks ordinary and simple and generous. They stand together, the contrast is too strong. Bing Xin is destined to be just a green leaf. I don't think any woman can stand it.
The real contradiction between them is that Lin likes to hold salons after returning to China. Many influential scholars were her guests at that time, not only in the literary world. Philosopher Jin, physicist Zhou Peiyuan, archaeologist, including her husband and architect Liang Sicheng, are all supporters of this salon. It can be said that Lin's salon gathered sharp intellectuals of many top brands in China at that time, and as Lin's hostess, she was a group of people with high IQ.
But conservative lesbians are not used to such married women and are still playing with men.
So, 1933, Bing Xin published the novel Our Wife's Living Room in Tianjin Ta Kung Pao. This article is full of ridicule and satire, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin is alluding.
Scholars have written one thing about this resentment, but they are unwilling to admit it when confronted. They also appear in front of others, and they can't swallow this tone without tearing their faces.
I have to say that Lin is really a good woman. She and her husband are visiting Shanxi. What is Shanxi mature vinegar? After learning that Bing Xin had written an article satirizing her in the newspaper, Lin sent an altar of Shanxi mature vinegar to Bing Xin.
This is a counterattack. Funny and cute.
Their case is here. Although Lin complained about Bing Xin in his letter to Fei, it is already a private matter.

Hate each other
Zhang Ailing, born in 1920, is 20 years younger than Bing Xin. However, she has a famous saying that she should become famous as soon as possible. She practiced it herself. 12 years old began to publish novels in school journals and magazines. At the age of 23, she had made great 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, two good friends had business contacts, and Zhang Ailing prefaced Su Qing's book. In "I See Su Qing", there is a passage: If I have to comment on those female writers in a special column, then I can't be proud of comparing me with Bing Xin and Structure.baiwei, only I am willing to compare 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.
03
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? Look over the ridge to a mountain peak? And support her? Aristocratic blood? 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 on Hu Lancheng and Zhang Ailing in the newspaper. Interesting name and interesting article. First, she praised Hu Lancheng's identity and called him? First place for politicians? Didn't Hu Lancheng say that Zhang Ailing's articles were regarded as peaks on the ridge? 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 "Two Letters from Jiang Yang to Zhong Shuhe" written by others in Hunan Daily. 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 when Zhang Ailing died, she wanted to show off and deliberately wore strange clothes. Peanuts? All her classmates look down on her. 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. ? Greater East Asia * * * Glory Circle? China people, we are all blind. 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 herself in her mind (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.
05
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 in 1980s. Someone sent a copy to Zhang Ailing, and Zhang Ailing wrote in her reply: The nearest Jiang Yang? Six records? It sounds good, so it dilutes humor. And there is a sense of otherness between 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, didn't care about her future, and let her husband's second wife vilify her and throw her dirty water. Is this Lin's second wife? Credit? Strange girl, obviously a patriotic and caring country, has been slandered as? 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.
