Chapter 52 clean

In 1902, Su Manshu graduated from Datong School in Yokohama, Japan, and was about to enter the Higher Normal School with Zhang Wenwei and his cousin Su Weihan.The school was a government school, and admission required a guarantee from the embassy. The embassy also required a guarantee from the director of the Yokohama Chinese Association. Zheng Tongsun said of Su Manshu: "He never said a word when he met strangers, but he chatted with his best friends, and he talked about the past and the present, talking endlessly, and the conversation was very pleasant. After he arrived in Anqing, people admired his reputation very much. There are so many people who want to see him every day, but he always tries to avoid it, thinking it is annoying."

Su Manshu was also angry at times, and once said to Liu Yazi: "Ah Cui wants to come to study, I don't care about it, there is a 'Yellow Fish School' in the mainland. I said that every more students who go abroad, there will be more traitors. The state supports scholars , except for Mr. Gu Hongming, they are all 'Tu Afu'. If a woman is studying abroad, it is better to learn Mao's play." When the Tongmenghui was founded, Su Manshu met almost every meeting, and he and Zhu Zhixin were known as the "Two Talents of the Tongmenghui".After the victory of the Revolution of 1911, Manshu was ecstatic, but he just wanted to "drink for ten days" with his friends instead of begging for an official position.Sun Yat-sen, as the interim president, strongly invited Manshu to assist in political affairs, but Manshu declined politely.He said in a letter to his friends: "Ignorance is too lazy, how can you dare to live in the mundane world?"

Shao Yuanchong recalled: "When the Chinese Revolutionary Party was first established, people in the party often asked Sun Gong for funding and name, and those who failed would complain endlessly. Manshu hated it very much, and said: 'What can I do for this generation? Wash your ears.'” Once, Su Manshu and Zhang Zhuoshen traveled to the West Lake with their oars. When they arrived at Geling Mountain Villa, they happened to meet Song Jiaoren, Yu Youren, Tian Tong, Shi Ying and others.The Zhejiang authorities held a feast for them, and Manshu and others were also invited to attend.Manshu exchanged a few pleasantries, then hurriedly said goodbye.Unexpectedly, the next day, the "Zhejiang Gazette" recorded the grand welcome, and wrote a special letter: "Mr. Su Manshu from Xiangshan is also present." Manshu was not happy reading the newspaper, and said to Zhang Zhuoshen, "We might as well go back!"

You Wenru, who lived with Su Manshu on the first stage, recalled: "The master likes women very much, and he likes to look at women, especially the women in the hall, so nine out of ten days are spent in the shadow of pearly hairpins. However, To see is just to look at a woman as if she were a flower. It is like seeing a beautiful prostitute. The master immediately calls for him, orders him to stand in front of him, and takes a careful look. After seeing it, he sends him away. I don't know his natural nature, so I don't need anything else, as long as I pull his clothes with my hand, the master doesn't want the clothes, and he would rather go home with his short shirt on. As for the master's bed, he often uses other things to block it, and prostitutes are not allowed to go. Sit down, or move your hands."

Zhu Zhenzhuang said: "Manshu is not deep in the world, but he is well-versed in the world. If there are works mentioned, they are often mixed with foolishness. He likes to play a banquet, but he can't talk with the tricks, and he is often infatuated. Even if he sits, he must choose his usual place. Sitting, refused to move the couch. I often laughed and said: "The monk has a law school, and the king is likely to observe the law and not obey the precepts."" Su Manshu said: "If you don't write inscriptions and Heren's poems, your writing will not be good."
