Mao Yanwen's Calligraphy

The Republic of China is a prosperous and lonely era, with old and new ideological trends alternating, rich in one legend after another. National Southwest Associated University first got to know this special school in detail when reading Wang Zengqi's Plants on Earth. Wang Zengqi's unique romantic brushwork concealed many sufferings and sorrows of that era.

The Love History of The National SouthWest Associated University is a book about the emotional past of The National SouthWest Associated University people. The group of scholars who are burdened with national academic expectations are still pursuing academics in troubled times. Love in that era exudes fragrance from the depths of history.

The book tells the story of 17' s love affair with intellectuals. Some of them have the same heart, the same talent, take care of each other and grow old together. Some of them have loved a person's life, and some of them have fallen apart.

Of course, in addition to love, the book also tells a series of social and historical ups and downs such as academic atmosphere and literati style.

0 1 Have a heart in mind and grow old together.

Lin and Liang Sicheng, Qian Zhongshu, Shi and Wang Zengqi, Zhou Peiyuan and Lian, and Han Yonghua, Chen Yinque and Tang Yun are all such empathetic and enviable love.

This kind of love is not a natural fit between two people, but because love is mutual tolerance, mutual running-in, mutual support and mutual achievement.

For example, Lin and Liang Sicheng, many people think that this is a match made in heaven, but they are far from perfect. Liang Sicheng was injured in the student parade, and Lin Yisheng suffered from severe tuberculosis, with a low fever and hemoptysis all the time. When we first started together, it was extremely difficult to run in. Lin is self-centered, while Liang Sicheng is resolute and steady. Liang Qichao once said: "Sicheng and Yin Hui spent a few months with swords and shadows last year!"

However, love keeps them going. After the running-in period, the two complement each other, appreciate each other and achieve each other, making their love indestructible. At the National Southwest Associated University, Lin's health completely collapsed because of war, inflation and lack of medical staff. He began to learn to take care of her and pamper her with all his strength, even though she was horribly thin, sick and slim. The two lovers became legends after all.

02? Useless love

Gold to forest: gold's love for forest is pure and inviolable. Kim knows nothing about the way of the world, like a blank sheet of paper, but she has lived by the forest for half her life and guarded her for half her life. Before his death, when the reporter interviewed him, he took a photo of Lin and asked him about the background of the photo. He held the photo tightly for a long time and said to them like a child pleading, "Give it to me!" " At this time, it has been more than twenty years since Lin died.

Bian told me that she is the fourth sister of Shen Congwen's wife, a woman who is good at Kunqu opera, calligraphy, painting and poetry, and likes to wear cheongsam. Bian loved her for ten years and wrote more than a dozen poems to her, including the famous poem "You are standing on the bridge watching the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs". However, Chong doesn't like his furtive love. She hates his "mother-in-law" and is "not frank enough". He chased her for ten years, but she dated Hans Hermannt Frankel for seven months, then got married and moved to the United States. How many people like the poet's romance, but don't love this kind of thing, no one can change it.

Ann told Li Yan: Compared with the talented woman Lin and Li Yan at that time, Li Yan was really an ordinary girl. But Ji Xia 'an loves her like a goddess, creates opportunities to get in touch with her, pays attention to every detail of her and tries to find her. However, she didn't dare to take any substantive action, and eventually she never got married. Too idealistic about love and too perfect about Li Yan completely ruined his marriage.

03? This hatred has nothing to do with the wind and the moon.

Lun: Tsinghua, who was once as famous as Qian Zhongshu, was called one of the "four great talents of the College of Arts". When he was a tutor, he fell in love with Len Zhu Hui. The hunt was not successful until seven years later. At that time, she was delicate and ill, but as long as she was uncomfortable, Zhang Yinlin could take out the medicine at once. However, when Zhang Yinlin met Rong Wan, he fell in love with the girl. He couldn't keep his heart, and finally divorced Karen, and Rong Wan also rejected him. The gifted scholar died of illness at the age of 37, and he was extremely desolate before his death. What changed the initial love? Len Zhu Hui was very sad to read the news of his death in the newspaper. In love, when she was young, she always thought there was plenty of time, but in fact, many things were not later.

Wu Mi and Mao Yanwen: After Mao Yanwen was separated by her fiance, Wu Mi divorced his wife and pursued Mao Yanwen crazily, which was almost well known in the cultural circles at that time. However, when Mao Yanwen accepted his proposal, he chickened out and only said, "People are often limited by time and space, their mood changes, and they are helpless." This is probably the most popular love rat quotation today. In desperation, Mao Yanwen married someone else, but her husband died three years later. When Wu Mi learned about it, he began to pursue it again, but Mao Yanwen's heart dried up like a well, and he lost her forever.

04? A free and tolerant academic atmosphere

In Plants on Earth, the author describes the national The National SouthWest Associated University as follows: "In the eight years of the General Assembly, more talents have been produced than in the thirty years of Peking University, Tsinghua and Nankai. Why? An American professor who studied the General Assembly replied, "Freedom. "

In this book, apart from the main line of love, the academic atmosphere of freedom and tolerance is always shining.

Qian Zhongshu is good at Chinese and English, but poor at math. When Tsinghua took the entrance exam, he got zero in math, but he was excellent in Chinese and English, so Luo Jialun, the president of Tsinghua, made an exception and accepted him.

Zhang Chonghe, who was admitted to Peking University that year, got zero in math. According to the regulations of Peking University, none of the subjects can be admitted, but she got full marks in the Chinese exam and was finally admitted by Hu Shi, dean of Peking University College of Literature.

Wang Zengqi's wife, Shi, studied physics when she entered The National SouthWest Associated University, and then transferred to biology due to illness. However, biology is still not easy. She transferred to the Department of Western Languages and changed three majors in three years, which is unimaginable in present universities. Fortunately, at the then National Southwest Associated University, students could change their majors according to their own situation. In the end, she did not live up to the tolerance of the school, and later became a senior reporter of the Xinhua News Agency's foreign feature group.

If life is varied, then in this book, love also presents a variety of strange looks, bearing the unique romance, determination and brand of intellectuals of that era. Life is varied, so is love. Love is complete only by keeping the original heart.
