Lin Shu belongs to one of the literary geeks in the early years of the Republic of China. Like Gu Hongming, Liu, Yan Fu, Huang Kan and others, he is an eccentric, and he probably belongs to this type. Lin Shu was the first person to translate western literary works into China, but he knew almost nothing about foreign languages. Most of his translated works are in cooperation with Wang Shouchang, who is proficient in foreign languages. Wang Shouchang dictated the original intention, and he wrote it in an instant. In this way, more than 80 western literary works have been translated/kloc-0! Especially after The Legacy of La Traviata was published in Paris, it was all the rage. Almost all sentient men and women had a copy, which earned many tears of infatuated men and women and touched Xie Diexian, a famous prostitute in eight hutongs in Beijing.

Xie Diexian often fantasizes that the writing style of this author named Lin Shu is so sentimental and affectionate; What does it feel like to get his tender love? Just when Xie Diexian was eager to try, but there was no way to get through, the opportunity came-Lin Shu's wife Liu died. Lin Shu lost his wife in his later years, and he lamented in the "Cang Xia Jing House" all day long. Liu's personal maid-in-waiting was born thick, and later married a carpenter, who often came back for a walk when she was idle. Seeing that the old master was depressed at the moment, she repeatedly advised him to go out for fun and relieve his sad heart.

As a result, this well-respected and famous old professor at Peking University occasionally went to the smoky alley to find some "* * *" to refresh himself. At that time, he didn't know that an old man named Xie Diexian missed him very much. And his own face-saving, just listen to it in a brothel, not really live ammunition; I also wrote my own poems to express my feelings. The poem says: I carry a small bun and fork on my back, and there are six pieces of yarn in front of my bed. Clothes are faint, and pear blossoms are seen outside the crystal curtain. The maid smiled and told her carpenter husband in detail about her old master. It happened that this husband was repairing doors and windows in Songhua class. During the lunch break, Xie Diexian, a red prostitute in the class, chatted with him. When I heard that it was Lin Shu's handmaid's husband, I was very attentive, sending tea and cigarettes for a while and calling it a day to give extra money.

The carpenter became suspicious. Xie Diexian wrapped a small box with a silk handkerchief and handed it to the carpenter, solemnly asking him to give it to Lin Shu. That night, the carpenter made a special trip to deliver the box to the Lins. Uncle Lin opened the box and saw four extra-large persimmons, wrapped in heavy cotton paper brocade, each of which had been bitten, with distinct teeth marks and overflowing fragrance. The carpenter said to Uncle Lin, "Miss Butterfly Fairy has a message for you, sir. She has admired your talent for more than a day. I heard that Kun Xian is to be continued, and she will commit herself to serving you. I'll send some persimmons first as a token of my appreciation. She asks you to bend down for a while so that you can pour out your heart to your face. " Lin Shu thought that he was nearly sixty, and Xie Diexian was still young. One is sunset and the other is sunrise, which is greatly inappropriate. He said to his son-in-law, "If so, the hospitality is really touching. However, red powder is affectionate, but I can't afford to lose my life and beauty. " These four persimmons were repackaged and returned.

At that time, the decent prostitute classes in the eight hutongs in Beijing had many red tape rules. Whenever the seasons change, it is customary to feed the guests with new good fruits in time to win the favor of the recipients. In a few days, it will be time for the yellow croaker to get fat. Affectionate Xie Diexian specially sent fresh shad to Uncle Lin. Uncle Lin happened to have friends present, urging him to stir-fry wine. When the guests arrive at the bar, the empty room is desolate, and they are most likely to get emotional when they are slightly drunk. "Lin" thought about it that night, and reason and emotion struggled repeatedly. The morning chicken announced the dawn and finally made a decision. He said loudly to himself, "The shad is prickly and annoying. A love thread may become a cocoon of self-restraint. There are many chivalrous women in the dust, but it is not easy to be a good woman! "

Lin Shu's infatuation with Xie Diexian was rejected again and again. Xie Diexian could not help complaining: "Lin Shu's poems and novels are affectionate; When it was his turn to perform, why was it so substandard? " This soon reached the ears of Lin Shu. He said helplessly: "I am old and have long looked down on my children's affair." How can I have the idea of relying on red to hold green! " And wrote a poem to Xie Diexian: Don't tire your children and grandchildren, and don't plant the roots of love in the field of love. Qiyu has long been learned by celebrities, and painting architecture would rather be negative.

The news that Xie Diexian is willing to marry Lin Shu soon spread. Although it has not yet become a reality, it has made Xie Diexian famous. After all, she is the only person in Beijing who wants to marry an old professor from Peking University. Many wealthy businessmen and tycoons who are interested in being arty rushed to Songhuaban one after another to see her elegant demeanor, and named Xie Diexian to accompany them. Xie Diexian was so angry that she agreed to a tea merchant's engagement, and they left Beijing for Lingnan.

Xie Diexian's disappearance in Beijing makes people more curious about her. Other places came to Beijing, and later generations came to Songhua class to visit Yan. After Xie Diexian went to Lingnan, the regulars in the love field said that she was too stubborn and that she was a kind of self-abandonment. Fatalism holds that all this should be named after her, and the butterfly became immortal and danced, so that it flew to Lingnan. People here talk about Xie Diexian, but people there get sick and die soon because they don't adapt to the hot and humid climate in Lingnan and tea merchants don't know how to care for jade.

It's been a long time since Lin Shu got the news that Xie Diexian's soul broke the south. He was very emotional and wrote a poem in memory of Xie Diexian. Some people take this poem written by Xie Diexian as an example, saying that his relationship with the other party is not just eating one of her shad, but he must have had a warm and charming life between men and women. His poem about Xie Diexian goes like this: At that time, don't thank your mother at the waterside pavilion, as if you wanted to make up in your dream. If the soul crosses Xijiang Road, go to Yumingtang in Linchuan.

Lin Shu felt sorry for Xie Diexian's death and felt that she had failed her. However, when he saw that someone was critical of his relationship with Xie Diexian, he immediately published an article entitled "Self-titled as Praise" in the newspaper, which expressed his true feelings by innuendo. He said: "... you have lost your pride, your eyes are on Syria, and you are always self-motivated and mislead you into pedantry. It's called Zhi Zhi, but when it's good, it's like a heart. It is called contentment, and the heart of healing is like this. For yourself? For future generations? I advised my aunt to take her time and leave it alone. When you are full, you will settle down, nourish your heart like a fish, and cultivate your self. Are there no rivers or lakes? Horses and donkeys are the best? Blessed are the children and grandchildren! " If Xie Diexian is also learned in the grave, after reading this article, I don't know if he thinks Lin Shu is too melodramatic and hypocritical, or that he died too miserably.
