Zhang Ailing's mother, Huang Yifan, and Huang Yifan were also prominent families, and her grandfather, Huang Yisheng, was the naval prefect of seven Yangtze River provinces in the late Qing Dynasty, and was usually called the military gate Huang Yisheng. Li Hongzhang's Huai Army was just established, and when he left for Shanghai, the 5,000 navy division led by Huang Yisheng was also under Li Hongzhang's control and was his deputy. In the fourth year of Tongzhi (1865), Li Hongzhang was ordered to suppress the Nian army. In the battle against Dongnian, Huang Yisheng's navy was stationed at the front line of the canal, which blocked Dongnian's westward breakthrough, made great contributions to the Qing dynasty and won him the title of Baron. The Huang family also left a property in Nanjing, located at No.41Zhuzhuangyuan Lane, Mochou Road, which was then called the military mansion. It was originally a part of Zhu Zhuangyuan House in Ming Dynasty. After Huang Yisheng took office in Nanjing, he transformed the West Hall into a shrine to show off his exploits. Li Hongzhang once sheltered the emperor when he ordered an investigation into the matter.
Brief introduction of Zhang Ailing 1894, Huang Yisheng died at the age of 76. He has only one son, Huang Zongyan (the other son died young). In his early years, Huang Yi was promoted to a donation platform, and after inheriting the title, he went to Guangxi to become a salt road. The son who closed the door has never had children after marriage. Before he took office, his family bought a rural woman from his hometown in Changsha as a concubine. After getting pregnant, she stayed in Nanjing. Huang Zongyan took office in Guangxi, died of miasma in less than a year, and only lived for 30 years. After Huang Zongyan's death, the whole family paid close attention to his concubine's work. 1896, she gave birth to twins, a girl and a boy. The girl is Zhang Ailing's mother Huang Suqiong, also known as Huang Yifan, and the boy is Zhang Ailing's uncle Huang Dingzhu.
Marry a rich man
Zhang Zhiyi (Zhang Ailing's father) married Huang Yisheng, the granddaughter of Changjiang First Division in the late Qing Dynasty, and Huang Suqiong, the daughter of Huang Zongyan, in Yanfa Island, Guangxi. Later, I felt that my name was not romantic enough, so I changed it to Huang Yifan when I went abroad. Zhang Zhiyi and Huang Suqiong got married at the age of 22. At that time, when they got married, everyone praised them as "golden couple". They are a natural couple, and their talents and looks are also well matched.
Huang Yifan, Zhang Ailing's mother, is an amazing woman. Although she was born in a wealthy family, her childhood was unhappy because she was born a concubine and her parents died young. After their marriage, Huang Yifan and Zhang Zhiyi quarreled every day, quarreled and quarreled constantly, and finally became irreconcilable. As a result, Huang Yifan went abroad many times, drifted abroad all his life, and finally died abroad, becoming the first generation of "runaway Nora" in China.
As Zhang Zhiyi's wife, she has accepted new ideas, so naturally she can't tolerate her husband smoking opium, whoring and marrying concubines, let alone his inaction. In the end, their marriage broke up and Huang Yifan died alone in a foreign country. The decline of the family, the misfortune of the family and the divorce of parents naturally left an indelible shadow on her daughter Zhang Ailing, which was reflected many times in her later works and had an important impact on her creation. Liu Jixing believes that Zhang Ailing grew up in an environment full of China traditional blood and western fresh air. Tradition and modernity, conservatism and reform, conservatism and trendy, it is in this contradictory life and interweaving that Zhang Ailing's amazing writing style and beautiful style are created in the future.
Fold and edit this personal accomplishment
Fan Yi is beautiful, sensitive and elegant, slim, light, with a high nose, deep eyes and thin lips, which is a bit like a foreigner and a bit like a Latin nation. The Huang family moved to Hunan from Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty, and may have mixed blood of Nanyang. Their hair is not too black and their skin color is not too white. They exude a romantic temperament and are smart and capable. And more inherited the courage of Hunan people, she has always said that Hunan people are brave. Huang Suqiong's temper is like a foreigner. Although she has little feet, she advocates western education. Although Huang Suqiong was born in this traditional bureaucratic family, she was very civilized in thought because of the exaggeration of the democratic and free atmosphere in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. She is a new woman of that era. She is not satisfied with the traditional women's boudoir lifestyle, and is eager to establish a new world completely different from her ancestors with a like-minded, democratic and trendy partner. She also studied oil painting with Fu, and was familiar with celebrities such as Xu Beihong and Jiang Biwei.
Wandering in old age
After Huang Yifan's foster mother (first lady) died in Shanghai on 1922, Huang Yifan shared all her ancestral property with her twin brother Huang Dingzhu. Besides the generous dowry and the legacy of this separation, I think Huang Yifan must have a lot of property at his disposal. ) My younger brother Huang Dingzhu asked for real estate, while Huang Yifan got some antiques. Every time I go back to China and abroad, I bring one or two boxes of antiques. Huang Yifan also tried to be independent, always trying to do some business by selling some antiques to see if he could turn over. But I have never succeeded in my life. However, we can see that although Huang Yifan advocates new ideas and concepts, there must be new independence in her mind. In the end, Huang Yifan didn't get rid of the ancient tradition she hated, and she couldn't go against her background. Her life's work still depends on antiques left by her ancestors-antiques that she has been selling all her life. Take some antiques abroad to make a living.
Every time she sells a box of antiques, Huang Yifan feels very guilty and sad, because for a new woman full of brains, new feminists have no other way to live. She hates her husband Zhang Zhiyi very much, but she is also as idle as her husband, and as rich children who live on inheritance as her husband. Neither of them can avoid their origins. Even if Huang Yifan goes abroad and crosses the ocean, everything she hates still exists in her blood, and she will not let him go until she dies.
Huang Yifan is not a submissive person. She asked her husband for her rights-a normal family and a smoking husband. Zhang Zhiyi flatly refused. So Huang Yifan is always looking forward to the opportunity to find the free world he dreams and yearns for. 1924, Zhang Zhiyi's sister Zhang Maoyuan wanted to study abroad, and Huang Yifan went abroad with her on the pretext that her sister-in-law needed a guardian to study abroad. That year, Huang Yifan was 28 years old, leaving two children, a four-year-old daughter Zhang Ailing and a three-year-old son Zhang Ailing's younger brother Zhang Zijing. From this day on, Huang Yifan gradually lost his home and his children, which he never filled in his life. After leaving, she began to wander all her life. ......
For Huang Yifan, the shame of foot-binding may be the most painful memory in her life, so she likes flying around very much. A pair of golden lotus, traveling all over Qian Shan, seems to be challenging and declaring war on fate ... Compared with most women of that era, Huang Yifan is an independent and strong person, who has his own ideas and requirements for his own life and his own independent position in economy. (Huang Yifan has a generous dowry and has always been in her own hands. Marriage is usually the most important measure to change a woman's life, but her marriage is such a failure. But instead of bowing to fate, she began to declare war on it. ....

1957 In August, Zhang Ailing got the news that her mother Huang Yifan was seriously ill. At this time, Zhang Ailing had no time to take care of her mother. What embarrassed her most was that she didn't even have the money to buy a plane ticket to London. A month later, Zhang Ailing's mother Huang Yifan died in London at the age of 6 1.
