Chapter 50 The English words of the second section have not been drafted, it is a pity that this is far from thinking

On October 5, 1946, the personnel who went to Chongqing to contact the ship had negotiated with the Minsheng Shipping Company, and the Institute of History and Philology would return to Beijing soon.Fu Sinian, who was in Peking, sent a telegram to Dong Zuobin: "The public property will be moved down the mountain. I have already distributed the telegram to Beijing and Chongqing. The ship may have to change in Chongqing. I will return to Beijing in the middle of this month. I hope that the original can be moved in mid-October. The difficulties along the way did not dare to act, and now because the river is about to fall, we must deal with it quickly." After Dong Zuobin received the call, he quickly organized the personnel in the institute to take action.

After six years of holding my breath in this mountain depression, I finally looked forward to the day when I returned to Kyoto. The men, women and children in the institute were all excited and excited when they heard the news. : "Suddenly it was reported outside the Great Wall to collect Jibei. When I first heard it, my clothes were full of tears. But I saw what my wife was worried about, and the scrolls of poems and books were ecstatic." Everyone packed their luggage and packed them with tears in their eyes, thinking about how to start a new life when they returned to Nanjing. Life.

As early as a few months ago, the colleagues of the Institute of History and Philology decided to leave a symbolic memorial on this hot land that nurtured them.Under the specific planning and command of Dong Zuobin, dozens of local aborigines and several young researchers from the Institute of History and Philology transported a large stone tablet from the bottom of the mountain and erected it at the most conspicuous place at the head of the chestnut archway—this is Shiyu It is the most important historical witness left by Lizhuang, a cultural sanctuary that has sheltered the "Xiajiang people" for six years.

On the forehead of the monument are Dong Zuobin's oracle bone inscriptions with four big characters "mountains are high and waters are long", which means borrowing a famous sentence from Fan Zhongyan, a great writer of the Song Dynasty.Back then, Fan praised his teacher with full passion and sincerity at the end of his famous "Mr. Scholars of the Institute of History and Philology also expressed their inner gratitude with this moving phrase for the mountains, rivers, land and neighbors who have sheltered them for nearly six years.Under the forehead of the stele is the inscription "Liu Farewell Lizhuang Lifeng Stele".Wen said:

Li Zhuang, Lifeng Zhang's family, a famous family in Nanxi.His eighth ancestor, Mr. Huanyu, moved here from Songzui, his hometown, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.Started farming and studying, contributed capital and became rich, the successors of philosophers, and the glory of the church. Due to the national crisis, our firm has traveled from the capital to Changsha, Guilin, and Kunming, and then moved to Sichuan, which is a paradise for us. It has been five years since.Haizi sinks, and the people are poisoned.Colleagues are fortunate enough to have trust, and they will not waste their research.Although it is said that the country is generous, but it makes the guests feel at home, and they live in peace and tranquility, so as to engage in wandering minds. The master of Srirenli and the various politicians are in power, and the place is wise.

This is the time when the land is rejuvenated, and it is near to return to the east.Saying goodbye, forever cherishing love.It is used to inquire and plan, Cheng Tong used gold to cut stones, Gaiyan Mountain has records, Xianshou left inscriptions, jade traces and good words, good things heard in the past.Although this is the reason for the success of the stream, it is also true for the time being of the school.If it is not passed on to proclaim elegance, what will the later sages say?Ming said: Jiangshan Yuling, humanistic Shucui.The old family has a high gate and a beautiful place.The sea is turbulent, and the island of Kyushu is burning.Conceive my good voice, come and support me.The court hall vibrates stagnantly, and the lights dim.Living in peace and seeking ambition, five years to the present.Emperor Zhongxing, magnificent and powerful.Yuyu famous Beijing, E'e school.I return to the east, but my love depends on the delay.The English words have not been drafted, but I regret this.

May 1st, 35th year of the Republic of China Colleagues from the Institute of History and Language, Academia Sinica, Fu Sinian, Li Fanggui, Li Ji, Ling Chunsheng, Dong Zuobin, Liang Siyong, Cen Zhongmian, Ding Shengshu, Guo Baojun, Liang Sicheng, Chen Pan, Lao Gan, Rui Shaw, Shi Zhangru, Quan Hansheng, Zhang Zhenghong, Dong Tonghe, Gao Quxun, Xia Nai, Fu Lehuan, Wang Chongwu, Yang Shifeng, Li Guangtao, Zhou Fagao, Lu Qinli, Wang Shumin, Yang Zhijiu, Li Xiaoding, He Ziquan, Ma Xueliang, Yan Gengwang, Huang Zhang Jian, Shi Zhong, Zhang Bingquan, Zhao Wentao, Pan Que, Wang Wenlin, Hu Zhankui, Li Lianchun, Xiao Lunhui, Na Lianjun, Li Guangyu, Wang Hezong, Wang Zhiwei, Wang Baoxian, Wei Shanchen, Xu Deyan, Wang Shoujing, Liu Yuanlin, Li Linxuan, Yu Jinxiu, Luo Xiaoyu and Li Xuxian built it together.

Some people say that the Institute of History and Philology moved to Lizhuang in October 1940 and left in October 1946, exactly 6 years in between.Therefore, the "five years" mentioned in the inscription should actually be a mistake of "six years".In fact, if you look carefully, it is correct. This stele was inscribed in May 1946, and the inscription should have been written earlier. At this time, it was about five and a half years before the colleagues from the Institute of History and Philology moved here, or less, so the inscription "five years "It can also be said.Of course, it would be more accurate to engrave "more than five years ago".This is a trivial matter, mentioned in passing.

Another point that needs to be mentioned is that some people in the list of inscribed inscriptions were not in Lizhuang at that time but served in other institutions. For example, Li Fanggui was teaching at Yenching University in Chengdu, and Ling Chunsheng was transferred to be the director of the Frontier Education Department of the Ministry of Education.When this stele was engraved, Dong Zuobin wrote to ask Li Fanggui where he was going, and whether he planned to return to Beijing with his colleagues from the Institute of History and Philology. On May 24, 1946, Li Fanggui wrote back to Dong Zuobin, saying: "My mother is 80 years old, and I can't go back to Pingping without a plane, and my brother must accompany me, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go with my colleagues in the institute. After discussing with Director General Sa, it has been approved. , I asked my brother to write to my brother to make up the application for returning to the capital first."

Just when Li Fanggui was preparing to accompany his mother back to Peiping, Zhao Yuanren, who had transferred from Yale University to Harvard to teach in the United States, had the idea of ​​returning to China with his family and continuing to serve as the director of his language group at the Institute of History and Philology.When Zhao submitted his resignation letter to the school authorities, the school refused to accept it. Zhao had no choice but to recommend Li Fanggui to replace him at Harvard in exchange for the opportunity to return to China.Li Fanggui, who teaches at Yenching University in Chengdu and is still acting director of the language group of the Institute of History and Philology, immediately decided to go to the United States with his family after receiving Zhao's letter.Regarding this rather hasty decision, Li later revealed in his interview: "The real reason (I) had to go to Harvard was to get a salary, because I had no money." Li Fanggui looked quite relaxed when he said this , Simply and bluntly, it seems that there is no other reason to go to the United States just for the word "money".

In the summer of 1946, Li Fanggui entrusted someone to send his mother to Peiping. He left Chengdu with his family and went to Shanghai to take a U.S. Navy military plane to Honolulu. Not long after, he came to Harvard University to replace Zhao Yuanren, but Zhao Yuanren failed for other reasons. Couldn't make it.Later, due to changes in Harvard's personnel arrangements, Zhao and Li transferred to Berkeley University and Washington University to teach respectively.Li Fanggui's trip to the United States this time became a yellow crane going west, never to return, and since then he has faced his colleagues from the Institute of History and Language across the sea.When the demobilized Central University students returned to Beijing, the former president resigned. The National Government wanted Zhao Yuanren to return to China to take over the post of president. Zhao refused in his reply to Zhu Jiahua.When the civil war broke out, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party turned their backs, and the country changed hands, after the "political and ideological work" secretly carried out by the United Front Workers of the CCP, Zhao and Li once again thought about returning to the mainland, but the school authorities refused to let them go, and they also No more stubbornness.Since then, "Zhao Yuanren's dream of returning home ended in Berkeley, and my dream came to naught in Seattle. Things always end like this." Li Fanggui later said. Li Fanggui flew to the United States to get money, but the scholars in Lizhuang were still worrying about making a living and returning to the capital after being demobilized. On August 9, 1946, Fu Lehuan, Fu Sinian's nephew, wrote to Fu Sinian, saying that he was seriously ill and could not return to Beijing with his colleagues from the Institute of History and Philology. Fu Lehuan is Fu Sinian's cousin, and his maternal grandfather is Zhang Yinglin, a famous gentry in Jinan. Since the Fu family tended to collapse in the late Qing Dynasty, Fu Lehuan's father left Liaocheng with his family and came to Jinan to join his father-in-law Zhang's family to make a living.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. With the collapse of the entire country's political situation, the Zhang family also went into decline step by step.Although Le Huan's father joined the gentleman class under the shadow of his ancestors, but with the family's dilapidation and financial constraints, he no longer has the style and style of a gentleman.At that time, the Fu family in Jinan could be said to have seniors and younger children. Not only Le Huan had younger brother Le Xin and younger sister Le Shu, but also a widowed aunt and cousin who needed to take care of their lives.According to the social customs and moral concepts at that time, those so-called middle-aged people would not disclose their difficulties to outsiders even if they had eaten their last meal, and they could only quietly change the clothes in the seller's clothes to make a living, let alone shame their relatives and friends. Borrow for help. ——This is the same as the end of the "Cultural Revolution" half a century later, especially after the so-called reform and opening up. In order to "survive and develop", the world is like snakes and rats coming out of their holes in spring. The more money, the more glorious the glory, but once the loan is lost, you don't want to repay the loan, and you just slip away, letting the other party scream and roll around on the ground. Mo Zhihe's moral concept and code of conduct are quite different.Like the Fu Lehuan family at that time, there was an additional level of concern, fearing that the family would come forward to borrow money, which would lose the dignity of the Fu family and Le Huan's grandfather Zhang's family.Under such circumstances, Le Huan's father could neither look up to others and fulfill his responsibilities as a family member, nor could he deal with relatives and friends to make up bridges to tide over the difficulties.In a situation of long-term poverty without any hope and light, Le Huan's father finally couldn't bear the double squeeze and suffering of material and spirit, and was completely desperate for life. At night, I went to a small shop next to the Jinan Railway Station alone, bought two taels of white wine with the only three yuan in my pocket, bought a bag of salt-boiled peanuts that I usually like most, and poured them into Then, with the strength of wine, facing the biting cold wind and flying snowflakes, he staggered up the roadbed paved with gravel and wooden piles, and committed suicide by lying on the rails.When the bad news came out, the young and old of the Fu family mourned unceasingly.Fu Lehuan, who was 16 years old at the time and was studying in junior high school, suddenly suffered such a tragic blow, and felt even more painful. After finishing junior high school, he was unable to continue his studies.At this time, the Institute of History and Philology of the Academia Sinica had moved to Jingxinzhai, Beihai, Beiping. Fu Sinian heard the news, and taking into account his family ties, he called Fu Lehuan to Beiping in 1930, and asked him to be his housekeeper and scribe of the Institute of History and Language in the nature of a part-time work-study program. South Press: Shi Fu is not yet married to Yu Dacai).At the same time, in order for his younger siblings to continue their studies and maintain the life of the family, Fu Lehuan presided over the sale of a better house outside Luoyuan Gate in Jinan, and the whole family moved to a slum in a small alley in Dawan Street, Nantou, Lishanding Street, in the city. live. As a housekeeper and scribe, Fu Lehuan's life in Beiping was not easy. For a student who just graduated from junior high school, being in the middle of the impatient Fu Sinian, his colleagues and friends, he needed to be flexible. , Be more cautious in everything, and handle all aspects of the relationship well.Otherwise, the job will not be guaranteed, and the future life will be even more unimaginable.Fortunately, Le Huan is a smart and ambitious young man. Apart from handling work and personnel relations in an orderly manner, he also squeezed time to study hard by himself, and finally won Fu Sinian's appreciation and trust. After the winter vacation in 1932, with the support of Fu Sinian, Le Huan was able to study in the third grade of the private Rieter School in Peiping, and received a high school diploma before the summer vacation, and was admitted to the Department of History of Peking University at the same time.At that time, when Fu Lehuan was in Jinan, a junior high school classmate named Yan Weiqing was also admitted to the History Department of Peking University, and the two were assigned to the same dormitory.Except for Sundays, Fu Lehuan often returns to Fu Sinian's house to take care of housework in order to obtain financial support.According to Yan Weiqing's recollection: "It can be seen from some details of life that he (Fu Sinian) may have a serious temper. For example, one early winter afternoon, I made an appointment with Le Huan to go to the West Blacksmith Camp to see Fu Sinian's apartment and Le Huan. The original room. It happened that Fu Sinian was not at home that day. I sat in Le Huan’s room for a while, and he took me to see Fu’s study and living room. There were three north rooms (Le Huan lived in the westernmost one) ear room), although the room is paved with old-fashioned square bricks and has no carpet, it is cleaned very clean, and the desk is also spotless. Most of the bookcases are foreign books, and they are related to physics. According to Le Huan, Fu Sinian went abroad I studied physics at first. When I saw the house, Le Huan carefully checked it again, lest there would be traces of someone entering the house, and then closed the door. Fu Sinian's bathroom is in a small room in the southwest corner of the courtyard , is also a flush toilet. Because there is no heating or equipment, there is a stove in the house. After I used it and flushed it, Le Huan flushed and checked it again. Judging from Le Huan's careful inspection activities, Fu Sinian's requirements for life Probably very high, probably lost his temper over these trivial matters in the past, so Le Huan took the trouble to check again and again. At the same time, it also shows that Le Huan lived in his house in the past, probably always worried, it seems that the owner of this house is not easy to serve. "Yan Weiqing also said: "One time, a junior high school classmate who lives in Beiping City came to visit us. When I talked about homesickness and Jinan, he said: "You are just homesick, but Le Huan is 'hanging home' , hanging on how to live at home. In Yan Weiqing's view, this statement is "very pertinent". In 1936, Fu Lehuan graduated from the History Department of Peking University and joined the History Group of the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica. Transfer to Changsha. As mentioned above, Fu Sinian slapped two nephews on the spot because his mother did not escape, and at the same time, he slapped two nephews. The Language Institute moved to Kunming, and Le Huan went with him. He entered Peking University’s Graduate School of Liberal Arts in Kunming to study for a master’s degree. When I was studying in the Graduate School of Liberal Arts of Peking University, I said that among the classmates who were admired by everyone in the past, Fu Lehuan was unsmiling, Deng Guangming (styled as Gongsan) was quite arrogant, and Zhang Zhenghong was full of bookishness. For this reason, the students joked that "Le Huan is not happy, Gongsan Disrespectful, Zhang Zhenghong doesn't understand politics. "Every time he talked about these past events that were not "not very funny" in the eyes of his disciples, Yang's face would have a childlike smile, and he would laugh out loud, and his eyes would also narrow into a circle behind the lenses. A crack, seems to have returned to the unforgettable era of reading. After the Institute of History and Language moved to Lizhuang, Fu Lehuan, as an associate researcher, was mainly engaged in the research on the history of Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan Dynasties in Liao. In 1942, the famous "Nabo Kao in the Four Seasons of the Liao Dynasty" was published, taking the whereabouts of the Liao Emperor Chunshan and Qiushui as the main line, and conducted a comprehensive investigation of the relevant place names. The publication of this article is very helpful for understanding the territory and geographical conditions of the Liao Dynasty of great value.Due to the outstanding status and contribution of this research achievement in historical research, he was awarded the Yang Quan Prize by the Central Academy of Sciences. When Fu Lehuan was in Lizhuang, his mother was still in Jinan, and his younger sister Fu Leshu was studying in the History Department of Southwest Associated University in Kunming.Le Huan had to send most of his salary to Kunming and Jinan to fulfill his responsibilities as the eldest son in the family.At that time, Jinan had fallen, and even the line for sending money became a problem.According to Yan Weiqing, a classmate of Le Huan who was a high school teacher at a middle school in Jinan, said: "At this time, Le Huan's mother came to me and said that it was a letter from Le Huan, asking to discuss a way to send money to Jinan from the rear. In the future Through my father's friend Mr. Liu Lao's relatives in Xi'an, let Le Huan try to give the money to his friends in Xi'an, and the friend will send the money to Liu Lao's relatives, and Liu Lao will send the same amount after receiving the letter in Jinan. Give me the money, and I will transfer it to Le Huan’s family. This method of appropriation will probably be used until the victory of the War of Resistance.” In the autumn of 1944, in view of the prospect of victory in the Anti-Japanese War, the national government appointed He Siyuan, who had been the director of the Shandong Provincial Department of Education, as the chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government to develop organizations behind the enemy lines in order to enter Shandong before the Japanese surrendered and take control of the political situation.After He Siyuan took office, he once met Fu Sinian in Chongqing. Fu thought of the poverty of his nephew Fu Lehuan's family in Jinan, so he asked the former classmate of Peking University and Berlin University and a friend from the May 4th Movement to take care of Fu Lehuan's family nearby.He Siyuan obeyed the promise, so he often sent people to visit, and when the Spring Festival came, he sent people to send two bags of flour to Fu's family.Later, feeling that the life of Fu Lehuan's family was really difficult, He Siyuan allocated 200,000 yuan to Fu Lehuan's family as a relief in the name of "a personal gift from the chairman" and "funds for resisting XX".When the news reached Li Zhuang, Fu Lehuan was deeply disturbed, so he sent a letter to Fu Sinian on March 27, 1945, explaining the situation and intending to ask He Siyuan's cousin He Ziquan to return the money on his behalf. Due to the lack of medical conditions in Lizhuang and the long-term study of writings, Fu Lehuan suffered from a serious heart disease, so that on the day of returning to Beijing, he was unable to return because of his extremely serious condition.Afraid of delaying the collective relocation of the whole institute, Fu Lehuan wrote to Fu Sinian on April 9, 1946, explaining his illness and saying, "If my nephew can leave, I will go back with him. If I stay, I plan to ask the research institute to give me half salary."A few months later, Fu Lehuan's heart disease did not improve. When Fu Sinian returned to Lizhuang for the last time, he visited Fu Lehuan's condition.Looking at his nephew's disheveled, scrawny and ill appearance, and thinking of his father's loss in his early years, his fate was unlucky.Confirming that he could not return to Beijing in a short period of time, in desperation, he had to ask Luo Nankai, the squire of Lizhuang, to find a slightly better house in the town, as a place for him to recuperate in the future, and slowly wait for his condition to improve.
