Yang Xingxun, Su Manshu’s colleague at the Changsha Industrial School, recalled: “Xiangshan Manshu Layman, surnamed Su, surnamed Xuanying, was a lecturer at the Xiangzhong Industrial School with Yu Tong ten years ago. Except for teaching, he closed his house every day, without any dirt or cleanliness. , There is no way to share with others. Skilled in writing and writing, skilled in painting, but I don’t often write, or paint, and burn it. Suddenly one day, holding a stick (sound poor, bamboo name) staff, wearing monk’s clothes, wandering around Hengshan, then Fly away." Once, Su Manshu's "Picture of the Solitary Pagoda in the Far Mountain" was about to be burned after it was finished, but was discovered by his colleague Li Wenzhao and took it away.Manshu said that this painting was painted for his dead girlfriend and must be burned, and promised to paint another one for Li.Li replied: "When you finish the painting, return it immediately." Then he took the painting and left.Soon after Manshu left, the painting survived.

In Japan, Su Manshu lived in Liu Shipei's home.One night, Manshu suddenly broke into Liu's bedroom naked, pointing at a kerosene lamp and yelling at Liu and his wife. The Lius were puzzled (but some people think that Manshu's move was to scold Liu and his wife. At that time, Liu and his wife were preparing to defect to Duanfang and betray the revolution) . Su Manshu often came to call for school letters, but stared at them for a long time without saying a word, and then sent them away.For this reason, many school clerks commented on Manshu in private: "The monk is really a madman."

Su Manshu translated Hugo's, and Chen Duxiu embellished it.Chen said that Manshu's translation is very unfaithful to the original work, and it is not "trustworthy" at all.From the second half of the seventh chapter back to the first half of the thirteenth chapter, I simply started from scratch, created a revolutionary chivalrous man named Ming Nande, and cursed the emperor as "a lone husband and a thief of the people", "Confucianism is a slave lesson that is not as good as bullshit", Openly despise "God", "Gods and Buddhas", "morality", "rituals", "heaven and earth", "sages".

There was Xia who had made friends with Su Manshu in Shanghai. According to what he told He Shiling, Manshu lay alone all day long, with the curtains hanging down deeply. He was only smoking cigarettes incessantly in the tent.There are a few old foreign novels beside the pillow, and there is no other book in or outside the tent. Su Manshu said: "I am restless by nature, and it is very boring to stay in one place for a long time." He wandered all his life, lived in no fixed place, and lived in one place for no more than a year or a half.Some people say that Manshu's "appearance and traces are unpredictable". In the summer of 1911, Su Manshu returned to China from Java. When he arrived in Guangzhou, he visited Cai Zhefu. Because he did not make up his makeup during the voyage, and his beard was long and full, Cai failed to recognize him until he heard his voice.Soon, Manshu went north, and immediately sent a photo taken with Ma Xiaojin, as if he was a young man again.

In August 1912, Su Manshu in Japan sent a letter to Liu Yazi.After Liu opened the letter, he saw that the title of the letter was a certain gentleman, and the content of the letter was unclear, so he forwarded it to Hu Jichen and published it in the "Pacific News", which was "Repeating a certain gentleman's book".I don’t know who this person is. Liu Yazi asked an old international student who has lived in Japan for nearly ten years about Danfeng Mountain, Zhulian Waterfall, Yuniang Lake, Shatuo River, Zhangxi, Fengxia and other places mentioned in the letter. They all said they didn't know.What is said in this letter has a novel flavor, similar to Manshu's novel "The Story of Red Tears at the End of the World", and Liu has no way of judging whether it is true or not.

One day, Su Man didn't know where to get a postcard of a girl, so she deliberately praised it, wrote a "Bijia Girl Biography", and begged a friend to write a poem about it, as if it was true. Once, Su Manshu fell ill and was hospitalized. After he recovered, he was unable to leave the hospital because he had run out of clothes.A friend of mine went to visit him, saw that he looked good, and asked why he was not in the hospital. Manshu told the truth: his clothes were pawned, so he couldn't walk out of the hospital naked.A friend immediately gave him ten yuan to buy new clothes.When Manshu saw that there was an advertisement for a new German toy in the newspaper, he immediately asked people to buy it, and spent all the gifts from his friends.After buying it back, Manshu sat on the sickbed, playing with it in his hand.At this time, another friend came to visit, and after seeing it, he praised: "This... is so good!" Manshu said: "If you agree, I will send you off." The friend was surprised: "I agreed, but it is not I want to keep it for myself." Manshu said, "If you don't accept it, it is not a sincere appreciation; if you sincerely appreciate it, you have to accept it." The friend had no choice but to accept it and leave.A few days later, the gentleman who donated the money came to visit again, and Manshu was still lying naked on the sickbed, just like when he didn't receive the gift.

Su Manshu had been without cooking for several days, tossing and turning on the bed, moaning.When a friend came to visit, seeing this situation, he sighed and said, "I'm a step late, but I don't expect you to be hungry!" He cooked for him and gave a hundred gold as a gift.A few days later, a friend came to visit him again and saw him lying on the couch moaning as usual, thinking that he had given up on hunger strike.Manshu murmured and explained: "I need your help. My hunger was relieved, and I walked in the city happily. I saw a bicycle with a beautiful structure and liked it very much, so I bought one. I also met a beggar who had not eaten for three days. So I gave it away.” The friend asked: “You don’t know how to ride a bicycle, why buy it?” He replied: “No one else, just follow your heart’s desire.”

When he was poor, Su Manshu often relied on pawns to survive. It was recorded in his miscellaneous notes: "There are seven copper coins left, so poor that there is no hakama." He even thought of begging. In the spring of 1909, Manshu once wanted to move to the seaside to learn flute exclusively, thinking that he would beg for food in the future.When he compiled "Chinese-English Samadhi Collection", he specially included Tao Qian's poem "Beggar". Su Man is very fond of gambling, and the way of gambling is very different from others.If he bet on Tianmen when he first entered the game, he will still bet on Tianmen in the end, and no matter whether he wins or loses, others will stay with him, and he will never leave his seat.

Su Man is very famous, and the word "monk" is often written on the paper.According to the customs, according to the elegance and custom of the school book, there are pictures of broken branches on the paper, or books such as "I have an appointment not to stay in the middle of the night" or "I have an appointment after dusk".The guest's inscription is either based on his surname or his first name, but no one signed "monk" has ever been seen.General Yang Wei, a native of Shu, inscribed the word "Soldiers" on his letter of conquest of flowers, which is a double wonder with Manshu.

Sun Bochun recalled that Su Man saw a certain person who was unkempt, with his kimono turned over, and laughed at him as a celebrity school, but he didn't know that he was also a celebrity school, and his behavior was unconventional.Occasionally, if there is some storage, it is said that if the bomb is in the bag, it will go quickly.However, if you look at his diary, the records are clear and no pennies are left. It is really said that a sage is unpredictable. Monk Yizhou of Baiyun Nunnery in West Lake, Hangzhou, recalled Su Manshu: "Su Manshu is really a strange person. He comes and goes without a trace. He comes suddenly and goes quietly. When you eat, he sits down and walks away after eating. Yes. He seems to be in a difficult financial situation. He always borrows money from the nunnery and remits the money to a brothel in Shanghai. After a few days, someone brings a lot of foreign sweets and cigarettes from Shanghai, so he doesn't want to eat. He is alone upstairs eating sweets and smoking. He sleeps during the day in Baiyun Nunnery, and at night he wears a short jacket, barefoot, and drags wooden clogs. He goes for a walk on the Su Causeway and Bai Causeway, sometimes until dawn. Come back. In addition to reciting poems, he also likes to draw. He draws a lot, no matter whether the paper is good or bad, he will pick up a brush to do graffiti on the newspaper at hand. But if someone sincerely asks him for a picture, He's become very expensive again."

Once Liu Shipei saw Su Manshu in Taoguang Temple by the West Lake, who had just left for three days: "Trying to visit Taoguang Temple in West Lake, I saw that there were clumps of trees behind the temple, and in a broken house with several rafters, a monk sat facing the wall, buried in the dust of broken monks. I borrow thatched grass as a couch, and replace the pillow with bricks, if it doesn’t come out after years. It’s so strange that I saw it, because I lived in Shanghai Ocean Building three days ago, the clothes are beautiful, I use crane velvet as my pillow, and goose down as a quilt.” Ma Zhongshu recorded in "Anecdotes of Master Manshu": "Manshu is good at painting. Every night in the breeze and bright moon, he would get up with his clothes and paint in a hurry. Once it is done, he will teach it by uncovering the account of his friends. People only accept it. It is pleasant to the ears; if one feels the grand meaning, it can be seen in the words, but before the words are spoken, Manshu has already divided the painting into two halves." Su Manshu believes that eating beef and drinking milk will make you behave like a cow.He once wrote a letter to persuade his friend Deng Mengshuo, who was studying at Columbia University in New York, not to eat beef and milk, but to use fermented bean curd with bread: "Only beef and milk are advised not to eat too much. Don't look at the young people these days, they like beef and milk. Therefore, its temperament is similar to that of a cow, so don't be careless. If you say you don't eat meat or milk, you won't eat bread. You can go to a grocery store opened by a Chinese to buy fermented bean curd. Red ones can be bought for ten yuan, and white ones can be bought for ten yuan. Yuan, spread on the bread, chew it slowly, you will get a good product. If you are the master of a rebellious traveler, ask you what it is. You will say that the red one is a red rose (cheese); if you ask the white one, you will say a white rose (cheese). Cheese). At this time, the master of the rebellious journey, wouldn’t he just shake his head and say that it’s a masterpiece?” Hu Pu'an recalled: "Zigu's behavior seems crazy, but his ambition is pure. Today's people are as pure and white as Zigu, sincerity is rare. They don't understand the world well. One day, I went to a friend's wine and food appointment, and met Zigu on the way. .Yu asked: "Where are you going?" Zigu said: "Go to drink with friends." Asked: "Where?" Said: "I don't know." Asked: "Who recruited?" Ask Yu again: "Where are you going?" Yu said: "I also went to drink with friends." Zigu said: "But I will go with my ears." Even when I ate, I didn't ask the master. In fact, Yu You didn't recruit Zigu, and those who recruited Zigu There are other people too. They often act like this."
