Chapter 2 Fengxi, Fengxi

Fengxi, Fengxi Shen Wei Ye Lingfeng, when people who know him usually call him "Sir", some people who don't know him call him "Mr." Call him "Ms."From time to time, at his place of work, he can receive letters addressed to "Ms. Ye Lingfeng" letter or invitation.This is what he often said to people with a smile in his later years. This is of course a ridiculous misunderstanding.There is also an even bigger misunderstanding that is not ridiculous. He wrote novels in the 1920s, and published in Shanghai in the 1930s. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War,

He first went to Guangzhou and then to Hong Kong, where he lived for more than 30 years until he left here in the mid-1970s. The whole world has never left Hong Kong (short-term travel does not count).It was the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong During the three years and eight months, he never left.Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be some rumors. Like him, there was the poet Dai Wangshu who did not leave Hong Kong at that time. It was Dai Wangshu who had been in a cell of the Japanese army, but he hadn't.On such a day, he and Dai Together with Wang Shu, we went to Repulse Bay to talk about the author and female writer who died of illness in Hong Kong.

Xiao Hong's grave is silently mourned.Before this, after this, until the 1950s Dai Wangshu Conghai They have been good friends since Hong Kong's return to Beijing.People don't know more about the war years Facts, but you can infer other things from one example.Doing something is often not doing something. Speaking of Xiao Hong's tomb, people remember that when this solitary tomb was leveled and buried in 1957 When it was dangerous, it was he who took the lead and some friends in the cultural circles to take out the ashes and send them to Guangzhou. Buried in Galaxy Cemetery.

I worked with him on "Fantasy Continent" in Shanghai, and later I was responsible for the secret work of fighting against the enemy and Pan Hannian, who was in charge of the united front work, resumed contact with him as soon as he returned to Hong Kong after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. relationship, rather than abandoning it as a legacy. When Pan Hannian was wronged, he also visited Beijing more than once as a guest, including Including the meeting with Ah Ying. Just as the earlier rumors could not stand, so did the label of "reactionary literati" that was added to him later.

It's not stable.The new edition of "The Complete Works of Lu Xun" and the notes about him in "The Complete Works of Lu Xun" before the "Cultural Revolution" It was different before and after, and the news was also revealed, which seemed to vindicate this "reactionary literati". Among the many proses he wrote in his later years, there are many chapters about nostalgia and patriotism. This larger misunderstanding can be clarified, but some people may not have noticed it. already. His patriotic actions are also reflected in his love of books (the love of books here means love of generals), among which

One is the "Xin'an County Chronicle" published by Jiaqing.This Xin'an has nothing to do with the beautiful Xin'an River, it only It is an old county in Guangdong, which is today's Bao'an, but it is larger than Bao'an. Hong Kong, an international metropolis, also belongs to its category (it goes without saying that Shenzhen, which is famous at home and abroad today up).Therefore, "Xin'an County Chronicles" also includes elements of Hong Kong Chronicles.He has this book in his collection, Moreover, he has compared it with the editions collected in Guangzhou and Beijing libraries. According to him, with the version he has on hand

most complete.There are only those two works in the Mainland, but Hong Kong has only his overseas copy.British Although it has seized the ruling power in Hong Kong for more than a hundred years, it has not caught such a movie related to Hong Kong. local chronicles.Several times there were foreigners, with the tens of thousands of Hong Kong City at that time (equivalent to over a hundred today's 10,000 yuan), he reached out to grab the book, but he refused all of them, only willing to let Hong Kong and Britain Make a copy from the official library as a reference.He said more than once before his death that the book would be sent to

to the country.After his death, his family fulfilled his last wish.This "Xin'an County Chronicle" is now Now it is hidden in the Zhongshan Library in Guangzhou. But his beloved collection of books, the collection of books admired by his friends, is not only this one. "Xin'an County Chronicle". In Hong Kong, he is one of the famous bibliophiles.His famous collection consists mainly of three parts: Books about Hong Kong, rare western picture albums, and western literature books.From this book "Reading with In the "Hong Kong Book Records" of "Pen", it is not difficult to imagine his rich collection in this area, those related to Hong Kong

The historical materials of his early years are very precious, and his own writing is also of great reference value worthwhile work.He also painted a lot of paintings in his early years. If he hadn't put down his brush and only held a writing brush later, In the end, it is hard to say whether he is famous as a painter or a writer, although most people now know He is a writer, and the new version of "The Complete Works of Lu Xun" still calls him a "writer and painter".his collection Those many Western picture albums are treasures that friends in the art circles in the mainland can't help but express their concern for.

Taste.The rare copies of Western literature books are even more difficult to count. There is no need to ask how many thousands of volumes he has in his collection, his residence in a place like Hong Kong can be regarded as a It is spacious, but because of his good taste, it is narrow and even cramped.it's okay there It can be called a bookstore, and there are books everywhere in the room.Our writers do not have study rooms, but every room There are many books in the room, and the hall is full of books. He spends all day in the books, because "the book In the middle of oneself", it can be said that people are in the jade face, and people are in the golden house.

It is the rare treasures, many of his collections were originally intended to be sent back to the mainland and dedicated to the country. Due to the delay in inventorying, the Chinese University of Hong Kong finally took the method of collecting everything first and then counting The style was taken away, and a special room was set up to organize the collection. This mistake once made people feel regretful and sigh for it. However, when thinking of "after 1997", with the return of the sovereignty of Hong Kong as a whole, these Don't books also naturally return to the embrace of the motherland?Things in the world are so wonderful! People call Ye Lingfeng a bibliophile. Although he did not "please correct me" when he was alive, he did Definitely happy with another title "Book Lover".I don't know if he created it himself The title, at least most people seldom say so, only mentioned in his writings: "love books Home". It can be seen from the article, and it can also be seen that bibliophiles are Such translations as Enemies of the Book.He has an interest in reading, and his interests are profound, covering a wide range.he He is not a person who hides and does not read, although there are too many books and he has no time to read them all. Books and pens, reading and writing, this is all his life for many years.He is not only busy reading, Also diligent in writing books.He read and wrote every day, and he left behind a total of one or two million words of writing after his death. The product is yet to be sorted out and published as a book. (There are six or seven kinds of books published in Hong Kong) These articles are already in the published in newspapers.There are literary essays, reading essays, lyrical essays, life essays, and Stories of Hong Kong, Hong Kong scenery, and translation of foreign literary works.Those articles about the historical facts of Hong Kong, It was written by him after reading a lot of Chinese and English materials. Over the years, it has become someone else's The information based on when writing the story of Hong Kong.It is rich in materials, strong and fluent in writing, patriotic and enthusiastic Overflowing between pen and ink, the righteousness is awe-inspiring and unequivocal, and it has nothing to do with foreign rulers Flattery. Time flies, and ten years passed in the blink of an eye.Frost Hong loves the late sunny time the most (he used to Shuangya's pen name, he wrote a lot; his published collections include "Miscellaneous Notes of the Evening Sun"), Looking back on the past, I can't help but have a deep nostalgia for this old writer. — September 1985
