Zhang Chonghe and her three sisters, Yuanhe, Zhao He and Yunhe, are called "Hefei Four Sisters". 19 14 She was born in Shanghai. Her great-grandfather was a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, Zhang Shusheng, and the official was the governor of Zhili. Father Zhang Wuling is a famous educator in Suzhou. In order to give his children a better education, he founded Le Yi Girls' Middle School. With such a good background, she didn't have to worry about her livelihood since she was a child.
However, as the fourth daughter in the family, her arrival did not bring much joy to the family. When she was nine months old, she was taken back to the Zhang family's old house in Hefei by her aunt and uncle. Grandmother brought infinite love and sunshine to his childhood, and she devoted all her energy to him. As soon as Chonghe spoke, her grandmother began to teach her to recite poems. Now she has learned three-character classics and thousand-character writing. At the age of 6, grandma invited her back to Teacher Ming to teach her calligraphy. Compared with the three sisters who grew up with their parents, although their parents' love is relatively reduced, they have an innocent and unrequited grandmother's love.
When Chonghe 16 years old, grandma died. She made a will before her death, leaving all the fields under her name to Chonghe, fearing that her beloved granddaughter would be bullied. Facts have proved how wise my grandmother was, and the reason why she lived so lightly in her later life is closely related to her decision. She made Zong Gao really do it, so don't worry about his livelihood.
Besides calligraphy, Kunqu opera is her favorite, and she has devoted tireless time and energy to these two things all her life. Even at the age of eighty-eight, she still insists on writing calligraphy for three hours every day, and if her health permits, the time will be longer. People really need to have a positive hobby in this life, and don't expect to support their families by it. At least when you are bored or at a loss, having a hobby will make your time full of fun.
At the age of 34, she married Hans Hermannt Frankel, a linguist in China, and they lived together for half a century. When you get married, there is no expensive dowry and there is no expensive dowry. 1949, two people went to America by cruise together. They took several simple items, including a 500-year-old inkstone.
Life is light, whether it is fame or affection. Her most famous crush is Bian, who wrote the poem "Broken Chapter"-"You are standing on the bridge watching the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs. The bright moon decorated your window, and you decorated other people's dreams. "
Harmony is a faint scenery, which can write beautiful words and sing good Kunqu opera. She is a talented person and a beautiful woman, carefree but indifferent. Her attitude towards life is just like a poem in "Searching for the Quiet" written by her in Beibei in the 1940s: "It's cold to know yourself, and it's a lonely life." A friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the world is cold. In the same way, you can have a few close friends, Kunqu opera and writing as companions.
Pay tribute to Zhang Chonghe, the last talented woman in the Republic of China, whether she is gone in troubled times or quiet and stable in this world. Only when life is light can we live its true flavor.
