Looking West to Zhang Ailing 西岭雪 1892Words 2018-03-16
In April of this year, Hu Lancheng published another "Dagong Weekly" in Nanjing. Its main purpose was to oppose the war of foreign powers in China, proposed the withdrawal of Japanese troops from China, and published the telegrams from Yan'an and Chongqing. overprint. "Dagong Weekly" has an office in Shanghai, so he was able to run both in Wuhan and Shanghai, enjoying the blessings of equal people-in Wuhan, it was Xiao Zhou's charming and charming; Every time he came back, he would always give Zhang Ailing some more money, but it wasn't all for supporting the family.He once implicitly hinted: "You can also have a sum of money here." It seems to be stored in her.Her heart trembled, and she had an ominous premonition—she knew that he would flee one day, but she still refused to believe it when it was approaching.

At the same time, she listened to him talking more and more about Xiao Zhou, and knew that another thing she was worried about was approaching day by day, and she could not do anything about it—if she still loved him and wanted to keep him, she had to endure, endure His fraternity also bears love when he talks about Xiao Zhou, no matter how heartbroken it is to hear it, he still listens with a smile.It was as if a knife had been hacked out of my heart, and my flesh and blood became bloody, my body became thinner, and finally there was no shadow left. But they also had good times.Once he accompanied Ai Ling to watch Choi Seung Hee's dance, Ai Ling liked it very much, and sighed: "Satiry is so well-intentioned, and tragedy can also make people laugh. Ordinary funny satire has never been so sympathetic. Chaplin’s films are not bad, but I still hate the affectation of a wanderer in it, which is close to the Chinese celebrity school. It is still not as good as Choi Seung Hee’s dance. After all, it is the most basic thing of our East.”

It was raining when they came back, and the two called a rickshaw at the entrance of the theater, squeezed into it, and put down the awning. Ailing was wearing a raincoat and sitting on Hu Lancheng, somewhat uncomfortable in this confined space.It's like being crossed the road with my mother holding hands for the first time when I was a child. There was a strange stimulation, and I felt that no matter what posture I took, but the two of us were so close, we breathed and heard each other, and we had a strange affinity. Another time, Hu Lancheng wanted to attend a symposium on current affairs. Because it was a bright spring, Zhang Ailing seemed particularly interested, so she was willing to go with her.

"The two of us took a tricycle to the French Concession. It was a sunny day in March in the old calendar. We saw catkins dancing all over the road like heavy snow. It was amazing. Both Aileen and I wore jackets and were more concerned about our bodies. Skin-to-skin relationship. I caught catkins on Aileen’s hair and lap, and the catkins formed into balls and flew around the car. This is a bungalow with white stone steps and grass, where the catkins are growing more and more tightly. When you get out of the car and pay the fare, you will stand at the door for a while, and then you will be covered. This is the first time I know that there is such a mystery in the spring. The world has become a fairyland.” (Hu Lancheng)

This description of catching catkins has always been recognized by "Zhang fans" as the most graceful and moving scene in her love life, thinking that the spring is bright and charming, and it is picturesque. However, I just feel ominous——Zhang Ailing and Hu Lancheng are familiar with each other. At this time, you can’t forget the scene of singing willow catkins in the Daguanyuan Poetry Club, right?If so, what was the sentence that lingered most in their minds at that time? "Lin Daiyu rebuilt the Peach Blossom Club, and Shi Xiangyun occasionally filled in willow catkins", that was the last romance in the Grand View Garden, and it was followed by "Mandarin Duck Girl Unintentionally Meets Mandarin Duck", "Laiwang Women Rely on Power to Dominate Marriage", "Cowardly Miss Doesn't Ask" Tired Jinfeng", "Slandering, slandering and copying the Grand View Garden"... all the way to decay.

All things have omens. Liu Xuci wrote the tragedy of Grand View Garden, and also the tragedy of Zhang Ailing and Hu Lancheng—that was also the last lingering love of Zhang Hulian. After that, their fate will come to an end day by day.Bleeding wind and rain, labor and swallows are separated, and they leave their hometown... These have all been written in the words of the predecessors early: "I don't care about falling, but I know when I fly. When Yingchou is tired and the butterfly is tired, I will see you in the next spring—every other year." "Wandering is also like life is thin, empty and lingering, talk about romance."

"Thousands of threads will never change, let him gather and divide as he pleases." "Sanchun's career pays for the wind, and the bright moon and plum blossoms make a dream." ...too much slander.Zhang Ailing and Hu Lancheng, which sentence do you think of? I guess what Aileen was thinking was Lin Daiyu's "I don't care about marrying Dongfengchun, let me go, bear to stay." But Hu Lancheng, who was still dreaming of the spring and autumn dream of prosperity at this time, must be Xue Baochai's sentence "good With its strength, the wind will send me to Qingyun, right?

Qingyun just got married in this year. I don't know if Hu Lancheng had been worried for a long time, and hurriedly arranged his own affairs. This year, Hu Qingyun was thirty years old and had never been in a relationship. In order to take care of the Sixth Uncle's family, even lifelong events were delayed. Now the Sixth Uncle made the decision and promised her to his subordinate Shen Fenglin; A native of Shenjiawan, Qingfengling, came out of his hometown five years ago to work with Hu Lancheng. He has successively served as assistant editor of Wang Puppet Central Telegraph Agency, director of Hangzhou branch, interview director of pseudo-Zhejiang Daily, director of the reporter union, member of the Public Entertainment Review Committee, etc. , is a cultural official.He also especially likes to read books, and his manner and speech are gentle and gentle. When Qingyun saw her, she couldn't say how good it was or what was wrong, so she agreed without any other choice.

Hu Lancheng personally accompanied her to Hangzhou again. The wedding ceremony was held at the Xingya Club (now the People's Bank Zhejiang Branch). The scene was quite large, with dozens of tables. Zhang Shikui, the section chief, He Jinsheng, the captain of the first security brigade, and Wang Zhonglin, the battalion commander of the independent battalion, held a very lively event, which was in stark contrast to the wedding of Hu Lancheng and Zhang Ailing.Also took wedding photos.The bride is sitting upright in full makeup, holding a bouquet of calla lilies, smiling reservedly and beautifully.

That was also the only youthful chapter in Hu Qingyun's life. After marriage, Qingyun still lives in Meiliyuan, taking care of her younger siblings; while Shen Fenglin still follows Hu Lancheng, running around doing errands.This is a bit like the situation of Hu Lancheng and Zhang Ailing - they are married, but they are still irrelevant, one is a golden boy and the other is a jade girl.
