Guo Moruo's character?
Naivety and sophistication set a high standard, boasting that the enemy-occupied area during the Anti-Japanese War was a special place. At that time, it seemed impossible to meet again, because friends who used to get together are now scattered in the north and south. So in the literary journals at that time, there were some reckless memories, which revealed some unknown stories between friends. (Liu Cunren) published an article "Several People in the Creation Society" by Gong in the fourth issue of Talking about the Storm, in which there was a passage about several anecdotes of the Guo family, which might as well be quoted as follows: Guo Moruo, a strange man in the new literary world, can know from his poems that he is an enthusiastic person. Fangfang's face, wearing a pair of tortoise-shell glasses, is tall and beautiful. He finally spent half his life in the Jianghu. He has been to many places and met many people, and his eloquence is not bad. But unfortunately, he can speak fluent Japanese, but he always speaks Sichuan dialect, and Sichuan dialect has a great stress, so it is extremely difficult to speak. He studied medicine in Japan, and he was born in Imperial University. According to him, he lost his scalpel and studied literature. In fact, he has been doing badly in medicine. His academic achievements in medical school were the basis for his later translation of several German masterpieces. I remember when I was still in Japan, his wife, Ms. Anna, gave birth to a child for the first time. The husband and wife, one of whom is a doctor of medicine and the other is a nurse, closed the door and prepared to handle it entirely by themselves without the help of others. There, I knew that on the night when I was dying, his wife rolled on the ground in pain and shouted a few times. He was at a loss. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and ran to his brother-in-law Tao Sunjing for help. Tao Sunjing came to handle it. Guo Moruo is very kind and sincere to others, but among his friends, he can't get rid of his unpretentious and unsmiling expression. I remember one day Wang Duqing retaliated by saying, "Lao Guo! Stop pretending. When you were in Xiamen University, you and Imitation Wu (Cheng) spent a long time in the toilet. What can you do? " When Guo Moruo and Cheng, two gentlemen who were too Taoist in appearance, blushed, he then said to the public: "They urinate in the toilet, and whoever urinates more will take a long time." He went on to say, "We are naive everywhere, but they must show their true feelings behind their backs, so it's best to pretend!" " I like to put on airs in front of people, which really breaks Wang's words. At the beginning of the incident, he rushed back to Shanghai from Japan and rushed back to Chongqing, showing his bad habit of putting on airs in front of people everywhere. As for getting a new wife, Mingjian Li, who is a few years younger than her daughter, is of course naive in his toilet. The last time I saw him was at the beginning of the incident. At that time, he lived in Cangzhou Hotel, with mottled temples and more deaf ears. He was deaf because he studied antiques behind closed doors. Because he was wanted at that time, he took refuge in Fukuoka, Japan, and made a living by archaeology. This tireless spirit is really admirable. From the perspective of modern psychology, Guo Hecheng is more likely to pee in the toilet. This "innocence in the toilet" seems to be boasting about one's sexual ability. And Guo and Cheng's sophistication in putting on airs in front of others is the capital of their future officials. The Secret of Guo Moruo's Returning to China by Chen Yin (Jin Zutong) has a very in-depth description of Guo's hesitant character. Chen Yin was the main figure who went to Japan to persuade Guo Moruo to return to China in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. In the end, although it was completed, it was full of twists and turns. One of them said: ... his words were interrupted here. Because I (Chen Yin-cited note) was surprised, is it that things have come to this, can we change our minds halfway? This really makes me doubt. "Probably not," I thought patiently. So I said to him suspiciously, "What is your so-called thinking method?" "Finally, wait a minute." Tang Ding (Guo Moruo-cited note) whispered, looking at me, his eyes were struggling and hesitating under the not-so-bright lightning. "Because the situation in China is not high enough now, it may be that they will rectify better in a considerable period of time." Words are getting ugly. I can hardly believe that Tang Ding, a revolutionary elder, stood in front of me every day in that small library ten years ago. My eyes are a little blurred, and I'm worried that he will give up his determination to return to China tonight, gathering together like a wisp of smoke and drifting away without a trace. ..... In my miserable state of mind, I was just thinking about how to persuade Tang Ding before returning to China, so as not to let his return turn into a swimming in late spring, or an insect in a sunny summer, a river flowing eastward. There are several such descriptions in this book, which shows how unbearable Guo Moruo's hesitant character is in the eyes of others. Returning to the matter of burying Hutou Mountain, Guo Moruo did not have the means and arms of a real politician, but he had some political experience. Chen Yin said it well ... he fell dangerously into opportunism "(The Secret of Guo Moruo's Returning to China, 150). What is the result of his conjecture? Of course I don't need to be here.
