Chapter 47 Cambridge Diary

Huiyin nodded in agreement, and sighed in his heart: People often mention Mr. Shizhi's "bold assumptions and careful verification", but they don't often mention his second couplet of "doing things seriously and being a person seriously". Only by combining together can we truly reflect the spirit of Mr. Shizhi! Huiyin thought that Hu Shi wanted to keep her because he wanted to talk about "Shui Jing Zhu" to her.Unexpectedly, Hu Shi took out a small box from under the bookcase at this time, and said to Huiyin: "This is Zhimo's early diary and some odds and ends. I asked for it from Ling Shuhua. I have picked up some of the correspondence. They are sorted and stored according to the person, and returned to the letter writers later. I think these things may be the most qualified for you to read, and you’d better make a catalog after reading them, so that you can use them later when compiling "Zhimo Anthology."

Huiyin suddenly became excited.Half a year ago, Zhimo told Huiyin that he kept a complete "Cambridge Diary" when he was studying in the UK.After returning to Beijing from the UK, it was the "Snow Pool Era". After Xiaoman saw the diary of "Snow Pool Era", he was very upset and burned it.Zhimo said that if Huiyin is willing, he wants to give Huiyin the well-preserved "Cam Bridge Diary".He jokingly said: If these diaries were kept together with the letter sent to Huiyin at that time, it would be of some collection value.When Zhimo said these words, Huiyin just felt that there would be plenty of time in the future, and it would be interesting to look at these past records when.She didn't expect that soon after she said these words, she would say goodbye to Zhimo forever.She never thought that she would get these diaries from Hu Shi today.

After Zhimo passed away, how precious were these words that recorded Zhimo's life and whereabouts! She was very grateful to Hu Shi for his trust in her, took over the box, and didn't want to stay any longer.She declined Hu Shi and Mrs. Hu's insistence on staying, and returned home by a rickshaw. The late autumn sun slanted on the table, and the living room was quiet and clean.Huiyin carefully took out the contents of the small box one by one and spread them out on the large desk.She roughly categorized them and made a record: There are mainly some diaries in the box, one Chinese diary and three English diaries.Two of the larger notebooks are probably "Cambridge Diary" from the time point of view, and the other small notebook is an Italian diary from 1925.Several notebooks only wrote the first few lines of text, and the rest were blank.There are also two diaries of Lu Xiaoman, one large and one small.In addition, there are several packages of original manuscripts of "Morning News Supplement", two packages of "Morning News Supplement", some photographs, two feather fans, and some odds and ends of newspaper clippings, manuscript paper and address book .

While making records, Huiyin felt a little disappointed.These are not what she wants to see.Especially those two diaries, one from July 31, 1921 to December 1, and the other from December 2 to 1922 when Zhimo returned to China.Huiyin met Zhimo in England in November 1920, and left England with his father in July 1921.These two happened to be Huiyin's diary when he was not in England.Could this be the "Cambridge Diary" that Zhimo referred to? Why did it happen that there was no time related to him? Huiyin felt very puzzled. On the weekend again, my friends came to Liang's house.Hearing that Huiyin was sorting out Xu Zhimo's posthumous works, Zhang Xiruo said: "Gongchao saw Zhimo's 'Kangqiao Diary' at Shuhua's a few days ago, and said that Shuhua was going to invite Gongchao to write a biography for Zhimo."

Huiyin's doubts became clear.From this point of view, Ling Shuhua kept the real "Kangqiao Diary", and the small box that Hu Shi got was manipulated by Ling Shuhua.Huiyin disapproved of Ling Shuhua's narrow-minded behavior.Although she and Ling Shuhua have known each other for many years, they have no real contact with each other, let alone know each other.I just heard Zhimo say before: "Shuhua is very stingy!" Huiyin said at the time: "Really? Be careful, don't offend her." Unexpectedly, this time it was my turn to experience this "stingyness" "Are.
