Chapter 15 14.make friends

When Zhang Zongchang was the commander of the First Division of Beijing's temporary establishment, he met Pan Fu, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, and the two had a fierce fight.Pan Fu has a big house in Beijing and Tianjin, and Zhang Zongchang will always use Pan's family as the foothold for pleasure-seeking whenever he goes to two places.Once Zhang played cards with other dignitaries at Pan's house, and the output was more than 10,000 yuan.In embarrassment, Pan called Wang Qi, his confidant and manager of Bianye Bank, to pay in advance on his behalf.Zhang is very grateful to Pan and regards him as a friend who can share weal and woe.

In 1927, Kang Youwei came to Tianjin to meet Puyi and lived in Xiyou Villa in the Japanese Concession.One day, Pan Fu invited Kang to dinner.Kang Youwei was famous for his reforms in his early years and his calligraphy in his later years.He waved his pen in public at Pan's house, and all the guests who came to the banquet would have one, and they would not refuse.As a result, Kang Youwei wrote for 12 consecutive hours from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., always full of enthusiasm and never tired. After Pan Fu retired from politics, the Xiaoyingmen home in Tianjin was still full of guests, and the wine in the bottle was always full of lively atmosphere.Shang Zhen, Yu Xuezhong, Song Zheyuan, Sun Dianying and other warlords in the court and opposition, as well as financial figures such as Chen Yihou and Wang Mengzhong were frequent visitors to his house.Occasionally, when there is no banquet at home, he will go out for entertainment.Pan didn't smoke opium at first, but because he stayed up late every day to socialize, his physical strength became increasingly difficult, and he gradually became addicted to smoking.

Chen Tiaoyuan, a veteran warlord, likes to be sociable, lively and generous.When he was the president of the Military Senate, his mansion in Gongjiaqiao, Nanjing was full of traffic every day.Officials from the Nanjing government, such as Zhang Qun, Gu Zhutong, Zhang Lisheng, Jiang Zuobin, He Guoguang, Zhang Dulun, Xiong Bin, etc., were frequent visitors to his house.The mansion is bustling with people, just like a guest house.One day, an old man from the country came and walked in calmly. The guard asked him who he was looking for, and the man replied: This is my mansion.The guard said: You are mistaken, this is the mansion of Commander Chen Tiaoyuan.The old man said: Chen Tiaoyuan is my son, isn't this my mansion?At that time, Chen's father was dead, but Chen's mother was still alive.The old man was indeed mistaken.Chen Tiaoyuan said afterwards: "This is unlucky, where did a father come from?"

When Xiao Qian was a teenager, he was admitted to Beixin Bookstore as a trainee, and he gave publications or manuscript remuneration to many celebrities.Many years later, he met Lu Xun in Shanghai and asked Lu Xun if he still recognized him.After Lu Xun stared at Xiao Qian for a long time, he smiled cordially. Shanghai famous calligrapher and painter Wang Yiting (Ming Zhen) has a lot of friends.Although his works have runge, they are often introduced by acquaintances, and Wang will always entertain without paying the pay. He just adds the word "Bailongshanren" above the word "Wang Zhen" in the next paragraph. "Bailong" is a homonym of "Bailong".

In the 1930s, Duan Qirui settled in Shanghai, and Chiang Kai-shek visited him.Duan Shixun, Duan Qirui's youngest daughter, recalled: "When Chiang visited, the gatekeeper didn't know him, and he didn't open the gate to welcome the car in. Jiang's car was allowed to park on the side of the road and sit in the cramped car. I went from the second floor Seeing that there seemed to be a guest coming from afar, he went downstairs to ask the servants, and after receiving the famous assassin, Mrs. Jiang was impressive. She rushed in and helped the old man out. Mrs. Jiang greeted the old man first, and then asked the old man about his daily life after sitting down. He asked about the cold and heat, physical condition and medical condition in great detail. He was kind and thoughtful. After sitting for more than an hour, he resigned."

After Cao Juren graduated from Zhejiang No. 1 Normal School, he first worked as a tutor in Shanghai for three years, and then worshiped Zhang Taiyan as his teacher.This is how his friendship life began.Cao recalled in his later years: "In the small circle of "National Daily", in addition to Mr. Shao Lizi and Chen Wangdao, Liu Dabai, Xia Mianzun and other teachers, I got to know the poets Ye Chulan, Liu Yazi, and Hu Pu'an. Chen Zhongfu, Dai Jitao and Mr. Sun Yat-sen. I still remember that Mr. Yazi wrote me a letter, which was very scribbled, and he attached an interesting sentence: "If you don't know someone, I will read it to you face to face." As for Sun Yat-sen, when he met us on Huanlong Road, because Brother Yuan Yeyu talked too much, he laughed at us: 'You children, you still don't understand!'”

When Han Lianghou was studying in Japan, he once went to a Western concert, and a ragged audience sat beside him, which was in stark contrast to the arty rich people in the hall.Han couldn't help being a little surprised: how did he get his tickets?At the end of the meeting, they greeted each other, and this person invited Han to sit in his apartment. Driven by curiosity, Han followed.After walking for a while, the two came to a very elegant bungalow. The owner lived on the second floor. As soon as he entered the door, Han was taken aback. Getting more and more confused.The host then took off his rags, put on a neat suit, and invited the guest out for dinner—this person was Li Shutong.

In May 1936, Master Hongyi went to Qingdao to give lectures on the law and lived there for half a year.During this period, Mayor Shen Honglie and General Zhu Ziqiao jointly invited him to dinner and made an appointment in advance.Master Hongyi broke the appointment that day and asked someone to bring a note with a doggerel written on it: "Yesterday, I used today's date to sit on a short couch and meditate quietly. It is not suitable for a monk to live in a valley together. It is not suitable for a feast of national scholars." Later, his expression was awkward, and he was a little embarrassed to come down from the stage. He felt that the mayor invited a poor monk to dinner, and the other party didn't give him face; Zhu Ze was overjoyed: "Today I got the most precious calligraphy, and I gained a lot!"

Compared with Master Hongyi, Quan Lang, the abbot of Nianhua Temple, is in a different style.He has close contacts with many royal relatives, dignitaries, and powerful figures such as Prince Na, Prince Regent, Prince Qing, Wu Peifu, Zhang Zhenfang, Sun Chuanfang, Lu Yongxiang, etc.Wu Peifu even lived in Nianhua Temple for a time.In addition, the rich in Beijing's banking and business circles also have Quan Lang's friends. Fanyue, the abbot of Fayuan Temple, also took advantage of opportunities such as opening hangings and stopping coffins in the temple to make friends with many "characters". Wait, gambling is a frequent pastime here.

The current Ming monk has served as the abbot of Guangji Temple for decades, and he opened the altar nine times to preach precepts. According to statistics, he has more than 10,000 disciples.Among them are warlords, bureaucrats, politicians, landlords, rich people, prostitutes, hooligans, hooligans, etc., which can be described as the three teachings and nine streams, and they accept everything.Such as Ruan Zhongshu's concubine, Pan Fu, Zhang Xueliang, Jin Yunpeng, Jiang Guiti, Jiang Chaozong, Wang Huaiqing, Wang Qi, Wang Yitang, Pan Yugui, Yin Rugeng and his wife, Rong Zhen, Chu Minyi, Wan Fulin, Shi Yousan and his wife, Cao Rulin, Wu Peifu's relatives, Yuan Shikai's The sixth concubine, Zhang Zongchang's concubine, etc., are all his disciples.

The famous comprador Yong Jianqiu once spared no expense to make friends with the powerful.In the early years of the Republic of China, he spent 7,000 taels of silver to order a Pvolos sleeping car in Germany and gave it to the powerful Xu Shuzheng.This was the latest top-end car on the streets of Beijing at that time. In 1925, Yong built a West Lake Hotel on the wasteland next to the British Concession in Tianjin. The interior facilities were extremely European, and it stood out from the crowd for a while.When Zhang Xueliang arrived in Tianjin, he visited it in person admiringly, and Yong held a grand reception for him.Later, warlord dignitaries visited frequently, and Yong took pleasure in entertaining these people.Both Shang Zhen and Yong were Christians, and they had a close relationship.Sometimes he comes here to live for half a year, regardless of the board and lodging expenses. Around 1919, Zaiyi's family lived in Ganzhou.His son Pu Zan got acquainted with Gao Jinghuan, the magistrate of Zhongwei County, and Gong Yun, who was Zuo Zongtang's staff.The three of them were literary friends at first, and their friendship deepened, and they meant to become brothers of the opposite sex.Pu Zan reported this to Zai Yi, Zai Yi pondered for a moment, and said: "Brothers who worship each other should exchange notes with each other, and write the names of the three generations of ancestors... Our great-grandfather of the last three generations was Emperor Daoguang." Zai Yi believed that the emperor's name should not be used at will. , Only the three of them are allowed to form a formless alliance brother. Zhang Zongchang likes to spend money to make friends.When Feng Guozhang was governor of Jiangsu, Chen Tiaoyuan was Feng's gendarmerie commander and had friendship with Zhang Zongchang.The two go whoring and gambling together, regardless of you and me.Zhang even contributed money to help Chen marry Hua Sibao, a famous Shanghai prostitute, as his concubine.Later, the two armies to which the two belonged faced each other in northern Jiangsu. Chen ordered the army to be transferred, allowing Zhang to occupy Xuzhou without firing a single shot, and went straight to Pukou. Chiang Ching-kuo was sociable and open-minded. In October 1945, he, Xiong Shihui, and Zhang Jiaao arrived in Changchun, where they negotiated with the Soviet Union to take over matters, and lived in the Northeast Foreign Commissioner's Office.The chef hired by the Office cooked at Wu Peifu's house, and he could eat both Chinese and Western dishes, and his specialties were braised shark's fin and sea cucumber.Chiang Ching-kuo often held banquets here, and there were not only Zhang Jiaao, Du Yuming, Wang Shuming, Mo Dehui and others who came to eat, but also reporters who came to interview such as Liu Zhuzhou of Central News Agency, Lu Derun of Ta Kung Pao, etc., as well as Air Force pilots and other staff.During Jiang Jingguo's stay in the Northeast, "the seats were always full of guests, and the wine in the bottle was not empty." When the wine was hot, Jiang talked and laughed happily, and the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic. In 1925, when Xu Shuzheng was traveling in Europe, he had a whim: to elect Zhang Jian as president.He first blows the wind to Nantong.In November of that year, Xu Shuzheng returned to China, and immediately went to Nanjing to take Sun Chuanfang to Nantong to visit Zhang Jian.Zhang hosted a feast for the two of them, and after the wine started, Xu Shuzheng became addicted to the opera, and it happened to be paired with a famous Kunqu opera ticket to Shanghai, so Xu sang a song.After singing, Xu was very proud, and asked Zhang Suoshi, "Can you do the same with Mei Lang?" Zhang Jian took a unique gift to Xu: "The general sings about the great Jiangdong, Qi and Mei Lang are two heroes. Knowing the meaning of rigidity and softness, separation and union, Ping Zhangxiu asked the old villager." Xu Xin understood and stopped lobbying. When Nie Gannu was editing the supplement "Dongxiang" of "China Daily", he never asked for manuscripts, and all manuscripts were selected from the submissions.One day, he received a manuscript written on plain white paper instead of manuscript paper, written with a brush, without any alterations throughout, and signed by a pseudonym.After reading it, Nie Gannu felt that the article was beyond the reach of ordinary people, so he asked his friend Ye Zi to identify it.Ye had a relationship with Lu Xun, and immediately said: "It must be the old man (referring to Lu Xun)." Therefore, Nie Gannu got in touch with Lu Xun and recruited Lu Xun as a major author.Nie also obtained the consent of Lin Bosheng, the owner of the newspaper, that all Lu Xun's short articles would be paid 3 yuan per article, while the general remuneration was 1 yuan per thousand characters.Lu Xun later joked with Nie Gannu: "Then the manuscripts I submit to you will get shorter and shorter." In the 1920s, some famous professors at Peking University, such as Qian Xuantong and Hu Shi, looked down on Zhang Henshui who wrote popular novels, except Liu Bannong.When Liu edited the "World Journal" supplement, because Zhang Henshui's article was published, Qian Xuantong was ashamed to be with Zhang, and wrote an open letter to Liu Bannong stating that he would no longer write articles for the "World Journal" supplement.Liu Bannong was unmoved, and kept in touch with Zhang Henshui.Once Liu was invited to give a speech at the school where Zhang was the headmaster. He said to the students: "Your headmaster Zhang is a great novelist today. His achievements have surpassed those of Li Boyuan, Wu Jianren, and Zeng Mengpu. It is very important for you to go to the school run by him. happy thing." Fang Guangtao once introduced Xu Jie to Shanghai Lida Academy as a part-time lecturer.Once, Fang invited Xu to drink in a tavern on Jiangwan Street. During the dinner, Fang wrote a note asking the waiter to invite Feng Zikai and Liu Xunyu to also come. Two Gentlemen".From this, Xu Jie felt that the people in Lida Academy "emphasize friendship, loyalty, and fun in life". When Geng Jizhi was less than 20 years old, he used to hang out with three like-minded friends.They are Qu Qiubai, Zheng Zhenduo, and Xu Dishan.The reputation of the latter three later surpassed that of Geng Jizhi.Back then, the four of them were poor students in Beijing. They all liked literature and went to Geng's house every day to read and discuss. When the Literary Research Society was established in 1921, all four were founders. Lao She is a person who likes to chat with all kinds of people, monks, luthiers, cooks, gardeners, barbers...all can be his friends.During the Anti-Japanese War in Chongqing, Lao She often went to the teahouse of the Sino-Soviet Cultural Association to drink tea and chat with Mao Dun, or went to Guo Moruo’s house for gatherings, and often went to the theater to watch his script rehearsals and chat with actors. In 1918, Zhang Yuanji came to Beijing twice, taking care of both public and private affairs, even traveling on business.After hearing the news, famous scholars such as Cai Yuanpei, Fu Zengxiang, Gu Hongming and Lin Shu came to visit him at the Beijing Hotel.This kind of visiting method is that the visitor is received by the office in the hall, and the business card is sent to the room, and Zhang Yuanji goes downstairs to meet the visitor.When Gu Hongming came to visit, he was wearing a shirt with white linen on his upper body and a blue-gray ruffled robe on his lower body.What is particularly eye-catching is his gray and white braid coiled on the top of his head. In the 1920s, two famous Go players in Shanghai, Wang Ziyan and Tao Shen'an, met and played chess at the home of the famous Zhang Danru.The two are equally skilled in chess, but the Tao family lives in Pudong, so it was inconvenient for them to meet each other often.The two agreed to play communication chess, and each time they filled in a piece on the chess grid and sent it to the other party. In this way, they played a total of 187 moves in this game. From August 1922 to January 1926, it lasted nearly four weeks. year. In the summer of 1926, the two began to play the second game of communication chess. After dozens of moves, Tao Shen'an unfortunately died of illness, which became an unfinished game of chess. Zhang Zhongxing said: "(Hu Shi) likes to socialize and is good at socializing. At Peking University at that time, he had the most friends and friends, and he was the first." "Everyone thinks that he is the most approachable, even if he is a student. When I went to find him, he also referred to him as Mr. X, with a big smile on his face; if he went to his private house, sat in the living room and talked loudly, and did not leave after the time limit, he would never issue an order to evict him." "Because he is famous and hospitable, so the same If he has contacts, he becomes one of the necessary qualifications for a scribe, and the ironic saying is: 'My friend Hu Shizhi.'” Fu Sinian recalled: "I remember one day in the first half of September 18, I invited a few friends to my house for dinner. There was Mr. Zaijun (Ding Wenjiang) and Mr. Shizhi at the table. I was talking about a person, and Mr. Shizhi thought it was wrong Fair, said: "Your prejudice will change anyway. You remember that when you were in Paris, you told me three times that the first thing you did after returning home was to kill Ding Wenjiang. Now that Ding Wenjiang is next to you, why don't you Kill him?' Later I blamed Mr. Shizhi for playing a prank. He said, 'Your king must be happy. Wouldn't he be proud that he can turn you, a murderer, into a friend?'" After Xu Zhimo's death, female writer Fang Lingru wrote a commemorative article entitled "Zhimo is Everyone's Friend".Ye Gongchao said: "Zhimo knows everyone like an old friend of twenty years, from the waiter, the driver, the barber..." Xie Bingxin said: "A person should be like a flower, regardless of man or woman. A flower has color, fragrance, and taste, and a person has talent, emotion, and interest. If one of the three is missing, one cannot be a good friend of others. One of my friends Among men, only Shiqiu resembles a flower the most." In 1933, Bernard Shaw went to Shanghai and received a grand reception.Then Xiao Bei went to Pingjin, but Hu Shi declined politely. Hu Shi said: "Welcome Bernard Shaw, Buddha said that if you don't welcome, you are welcome." Once for Duan Qirui's birthday, Qi Xieyuan sent someone to send a birthday screen worth tens of thousands, but Duan didn't accept it; Feng Yuxiang sent someone to send a big pumpkin, but Duan Xin gladly accepted it.During Wu Peifu's heyday, he celebrated his 50th birthday in Luoyang. There were many congratulators, and some people sent mahjong tiles made of pure gold.Feng Yuxiang sent someone to send a jar of white water, which means "the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water".Kang Youwei sent such a birthday couplet: "Longpan in Songyue Mountain, more than half of the hundreds of honors are famous; Luoyang is a tiger, and wind and rain in all directions will meet Zhongzhou." Zhang Shizhao said: "I am a weak person in the world, and I have made friends all over the world. I think there are three people who are the most difficult to make friends with: 1. Chen Duxiu, 2. Zhang Taiyan, and 3. Li Gengen; : The only weapon I rely on to discuss is the word 'no dispute'." Xu Maoyong and Cao Juren were neighbors when they were in Shanghai, and they had a very close personal relationship.But the degree of mutual affection is different. In Cao Juren's words: "For a period of time, he was in love with so-and-so, and he didn't hide anything from me; but I was also in love, and he didn't know much about it." Cao Juren said: "Liang Shiqiu thinks very highly of himself. I have been with him for a few days, but he belongs to the 'my friend Hu Shizhi' faction, and we belong to the 'my friend does not belong to Hu Shizhi' faction, so we have different ways of thinking. It's just a nod of greeting." Liang Shiqiu said: "I never said 'my friend Hu Shizhi'." The founder of the old "Ta Kung Pao" Wang Zhilong was born as a "big teapot" (referring to young male servants in old brothels), and later opened a brothel by himself.Once, Ni Sichong, the governor of Anhui, came to visit a brothel. When playing cards, he missed one of three, and Boss Wang was invited to accompany him.Ni lost tens of thousands of yuan that night, and Wang burned his check on the lantern on the spot, and the two became close friends ever since. During the Changsha Temporary University period, the conditions were very difficult.Wu Mi, Shen Youding, Wen Yiduo, and Qian Mu lived in the same room.Wu Mi stipulated that the lights should be turned off at 10 o'clock every night, and everyone would do their own things before that.Wen Yiduo reads and writes; Wu Mi prepares lessons; Shen Youding said: "It's such a good night, you can chat as much as you want, and each of you can keep your head down, so why are you here?" Wu Mi said: "You like to chat, so you might as well go to another room to find a chat friend. Otherwise, you will be early Go to bed yourself, don't get in the way of others here." When Hu Shi was in Beijing, he was invited to drink almost every day.Xu Zhimo said: "I envy our big brother Hu's stomach the most. He socializes every day, and his stomach can take it!" Cai Yuanpei recalled: "I remember that when I was at Peking University, the Ministry of Education abolished Hong Xian's national anthem, and when it restored "Qing Yun Ge", two copies of the song were given to middle school students in Peking to practice and then played in the auditorium of the Ministry of Education. In addition to the staff of the headquarters, representatives of the education field were invited to listen carefully and choose one. Both the husband (referring to Lu Xun) and I were present. The husband said to me: 'I don't understand music at all.'” Yu Dafu said that when Lu Xun was in Beijing, he neglected to make friends, "No matter who treats guests, he always refuses to attend; he himself, except for a snack with one or two people, never has a large-scale (or formal) treat This temper didn’t change a little until he went to Xiamen University.” Fan Wenlan, who was once a neighbor of Lu Xun, also recalled: “One summer vacation... I rarely saw him go out to socialize, and I never heard of him. There are bureaucrats who play cards and walk around the alleys should do." After Lu Xun arrived in Guangzhou from Xiamen, some key members of the Kuomintang, such as Chen Gongbo, Dai Jitao, Gan Naiguang, Kong Xiangxi, etc., sent invitations to invite him to dinner, intending to win him over, but Lu Xun refused. Hu Shi said: "Lions and tigers always walk alone, only foxes and dogs live in groups!" Once when Lu Xun went to Cao Juren's home, he saw a lot of Lu Xun's works and related materials piled up on the bookshelf, so he asked Cao if he wanted to write a biography for him.Cao Juren laughed and said, "I'm not qualified, because my surname is not Xu." Lu Xun also laughed after hearing this, and said, "Just based on this sentence, you understand me!" Cao Juren later said, "Just based on this In a word, I really started writing in the vacancy where everyone didn't do anything." He also said: "Lu Xun had five bosom friends named Xu in his life, three boys: Xu Jishang, Xu Shoushang and Xu Qinwen, two girls: Xu Xiansu and Xu Guangping. My friends all thought that Ms. Xu Xiansu would be Lu Xun's lover, but things between men and women are very difficult to talk about, so I won't say much here." Xu Maoyong recalled: "After a conversation, I came out of Astoria (a coffee shop). He (Lu Xun) suddenly asked me: 'How many children do you have?' I said there were two. He took me to a family on Beisichuan Road. I bought two catties of high-grade candy in the store, and said: "Take it home and let the children taste it." Knowing that I have indigestion, I went to the pharmacy to buy a bottle of castor bean oil, and said: "Take this and lax and it will be fine." .This is a physical medicine, no side effects.'” Hu Shi made many friends and traveled all his life, and he was almost never idle.The only exception was the three and a half years in Shanghai in the late 1920s.Luo Ergang recalled: "At that time in Shanghai, but he never made friends. His best friend Xu Xinliu, the general manager of Zhejiang Industrial Bank, and the famous poet Xu Zhimo lived in Shanghai together, and they did not come to his house." Hu Shi himself said: "From the Republic of China In May of the 16th year, I returned to Shanghai from Europe, the United States, and Japan. Until the end of November of the 19th year of the Republic of China, my family withdrew to Peiping. During those three and a half years, I lived in Shanghai. It was the most leisure time in my life. It was also the period when I worked the hardest, and during that period, I wrote about a million words of manuscript." In September 1941, Zhang Jiluan died of illness in Chongqing. Du Yuesheng rushed to Chongqing from Hong Kong, holding the coffin and shouting repeatedly: "Fourth brother! Fourth brother!" He was distraught. In 1927, Li Dazhao took refuge in the Soviet embassy.At the wedding banquet of Xiong Xiling's daughter, after Yang Du learned from Wang Daxie that the Soviet embassy would be searched, he left immediately and asked Zhang Shizhao to inform Li Dazhao.But Li was eventually arrested after failing to leave the embassy.Yang Du sold his house again to rescue Li Dazhao.After Li Dazhao was killed, Yang made efforts to bury Li Dazhao. In 1930, Luo Ergang stayed at Hu Shi's apartment on Jisfeer Road in Shanghai. He later recalled: "One day in July, after two o'clock in the afternoon, I suddenly heard a rush of stairs. I was wondering, Hu Sidu (Hu Shi's son) ran into my room and called: 'Sir, come downstairs, Mei Lanfang is here!' He dragged me downstairs. Hu Siyou, Cheng Fazheng, Hu Zuwang, cooks, and maids were already crowded in the back room of the living room. Take a peek. Sidu immediately asked the cook to lift him up to watch. I also stood in the crowd and watched. Mei Lanfang was respectful, Hu Shi was smiling, and the host and guest were chatting happily." In November 1932, Lu Xun returned to Peiping from Shanghai to visit his mother.In Lu Xun’s diary and Lu Xun’s letters published later, there is no record of Lu Xun’s meeting with Hu Shi, but Luo Ergang recalled: “Sidu told me that once, in winter, Lu Xun came to Beijing to visit Hu Shi’s home. In the study room, he laughed and said, "It's a comeback!" Sidu rushed to help him pick up his coat. There are so many dignitaries in the Hu family, and I never heard of any one he picked up his coat." Jin Yuelin said: "I have left the lives of relatives and entered the lives of friends since at least 1914." In 1923, Lu Xun said: "I have too little communication, and what can connect me with society is mainly through black and white words on white paper, so it is really not useless to me." Echoing this passage What is most important is a work and rest schedule that Lu Xun wrote to Li Bingzhong that year: "One to two o'clock in the afternoon, in the apartment. Three to six o'clock, in the Ministry of Education (you can also see the guests). After six o'clock, in the apartment. Sunday is about In the apartment." More than ten years later, when Lu Xun settled in Shanghai, the situation was not what it used to be. He said in a letter: "I have been in Shanghai for more than ten days. Because I have too many acquaintances, I have been restless. Drinking and watching movies almost every day." In November 1932, when Lu Xun returned to Beiping to visit relatives, he wrote to Xu Guangping, saying: "After I arrived, Zipei, Jingnong, Jiye, Jiangong, Jianshi, and Youyu all treated me very well. Attitude is invisible to the snobbish gang in Shanghai." A few years later, Lu Xun wrote to Cao Juren: "I have many old friends for decades, and the main point is to choose the bigger one from the smaller." One day in 1926, Hu Zhengzhi and Zhang Jiluan came to Tianjin to look for Wu Dingchang. This was a meeting among friends.The three of them strolled along the street, passing by the door of Ta Kung Pao, which closed down not long ago, and saw that the doors were closed tightly, and the gold-lettered signboard hung high above the forehead. Wu Dingchang said to Hu Zhengzhi: "This is the child you held in your arms. Don't you want to save him?" Hu replied: "If you are interested, of course I am willing to be a nanny again. Unfortunately, I lack a bowl of 'relief soup'." Wu said: "Money is not a problem. It is rare that Ji Luan is here. Let's make do. "The three of them agreed immediately that Wu would raise 50,000 yuan to sell "Ta Kung Pao", and Hu and Zhang would run it. Later, Wu Dingchang, Hu Zhengzhi, and Zhang Jiluan called the "Ta Kung Pao" three giants, and another said that "Ta Kung Pao" was run by Wu's money, Hu's people, and Zhang's pen.This new "Ta Kung Pao" started in 1926 and became the most influential private newspaper in China for more than two decades. Zhang Jiluan has a good relationship with Chiang Kai-shek. When he mentioned Chiang Kai-shek on any occasion, he was not called Generalissimo Chiang or Lao Jiang, but only one title-Mr. Jiang.However, his relationship with Jiang was not unprincipled. He once talked to a colleague of "Ta Kung Pao": "Mr. Jiang asked me to go to Hong Kong once, and gave me 5,000 US dollars, and said that the money was not enough, and he could go there in Hong Kong." Here, the money is all designated. How do you think I can go? How can I use his money?" On August 22, 1927, when Yu Dafu was in Shanghai, he went to a dinner party that night and saw Bing Xin for the first time. Yu Dafu said: "(to) her impression reminds me of a girl who was in Nagoya High School at that time. friend." In the summer of 1928, Yu Dafu made a summer trip to the north. On August 29, he wrote in his diary: "In the afternoon, I went for a walk outside the gate of Pingze, and came back at four o'clock. I slept for a while, recovered my spirits, went out for dinner, and met many people. The professors and scribes in Peiping. In the next week or so, we should allocate a part of time for them to communicate with each other, talk and travel with each other." Qian Mu and Hu Shi used to be colleagues at Peking University, during which Qian Mu visited Hu Shi several times, while Hu Shi only visited once. Qian Changzhao had a very good personal relationship with Song Ziwen.He said: "Song Ziwen is a typical European and American school. He always talks in English at home. But every time I go to his house, I insist on speaking Chinese instead of English." "During the Anti-Japanese War, when he was in Chongqing, Shen Xingyuan took his son Shixiang lives in Geleshan. I go home every Saturday afternoon and return to Chongqing on Monday morning. On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, I always have breakfast at Song Ziwen’s house in Yiyuan. He always talks to me about everything. Discuss, I have important matters to discuss with him." Zhang Taiyan once called Chen Huan "the number one person in China".After Zhang's death, Chen said: "From then on, people who don't know me in the world, Taiyan knows me, and I also know Taiyan. Lu Jianzhang said that Taiyan wrote an article, which is better than 100,000 soldiers. This is a contempt for Taiyan; I think the word Taiyan is enough to determine the safety of the world!" Liang Shuming was born in 1893 and became famous in his 20s.He recalled: "One summer in 1920, Mr. Liang Rengong (Qichao) and Mr. Jiang Baili (Fang Zhen) accompanied by Mr. Lin Zaiping (Zhijun) came to visit me at my home. The beginning of the relationship between the gentlemen." In 1927, Chiang Kai-shek and Tang Shengzhi met in Changsha. Chiang proposed to marry Tang, but Tang refused.Tang said: "Worship is unreliable. From the great changes in Hunan, I have figured it out. People who used to worship me called brothers and touched dicks in their mouths. When worshiping brothers, they are more ruthless than outsiders." Some." In 1919, Liang Shuming received a postcard from Xiong Shili from Nankai Middle School at Peking University (Xiong used postcards when writing letters). Before that, Liang had published a paper on Buddhism, saying that Xiong was "an ordinary man in this land" who did not understand Buddhism and criticized Buddhism. Make it wander and lose control and so on.Xiong said on the postcard: I have read your "Study on Casuism", and the words you scolded me are good.
