The background of To Tell You is Xu Fang's attitude towards suitors when many people are chasing Xu Fang. The most burning sentence in it is: "Hey! I'm telling you, leave me alone. Who cares what's burning in your heart? What is beauty and what is love? What are you doing here? "
In 20021year, you may feel "fussy", but in 1930, a woman cleverly stated her position, that is, warning her pursuers that she was not easy to mess with.
However, Hu Shi saw through this "warning" at a glance. He saw at a glance that "philosophical poems" imitated by "telling you" were popular at that time. Although Xu Fang has also expressed his thoughts, it is not lasting appeal.
Hu Shi returned from studying abroad and 1932 became the dean of Peking University College of Literature and the head of Chinese Department. He was the first "foreign professor" in Peking University, and in the second year he became Xu Fang's thesis tutor.
This teacher is different from other male teachers. Other old professors are too rigid and radical. Hu Shi has a gentle temperament. He has both the openness of the west and the implication of China tradition, and he is also a teacher and friend when he gets along with his classmates.
Xu Fang, a junior, wants to write a thesis, and the tutor happens to be Hu Shi. After the first draft of the paper was completed, Xu Fang made a book and sent it to Hu Shi for review. Hu Shi was also happy to make many changes in the manuscript with a red pen. One to two, the intersection of two people will be more.
There is a saying in Hu Shi's On the Lake: "When they fly closer, they gradually merge." This was originally a liberation work of the May 4th Movement, but Xu Fang got a romantic feeling from it. She likes poetry, especially the creation of vernacular poetry, which was advocated and practiced by Hu Shi at that time.
Under the guidance of Hu Shi, Xu Fang began the compilation of China's new poetry history, which was praised by later generations:
"Although the author didn't do any work, we can see his early wisdom and Gao Zhuo's insight. On the history of poetry is a rare work. "
Yes, Hu Shi is so charming and knowledgeable. 19 17 got married, 1924 ended the extramarital affair, 1932 was appreciated by talented woman Xu Fang. She knew that Hu Shi had a wife with little feet and that he had many suitors, but she secretly sprouted a desire for love. The girl's reserve made her afraid to tell Hu Shi, but her every move was influenced by Hu Shi.
Love pushed Xu Fang forward and became famous in the literary circle for a time. Later, almost everyone in the literary world knew that Xu Fang was Hu Shi's favorite disciple, and Xu Fang also published her love letter to Hu Shi in newspapers and periodicals, which turned her secret love into an aboveboard pursuit.
1936 65438+ In October, Hu Shi went to Shanghai on business, and Xu Fang happened to be in Shanghai. They seem to have stayed in Shanghai for some time. Because Xu Fang recorded that life like this, "When you smiled, the waist that was dancing near me became lighter and lighter. I think the music is too heavy. "
But there are only a few entries in Hu Shi's diary: "Ms. Xu Fang came to talk, and she wrote some new poems for me. I like her in the car best. "The sentence is extremely plain and restrained.
Whether the teacher-student relationship is true or not, the key is that he is not. Hu Shi's vacillating attitude made Xu Fang suffer.
For Xu Fang's love, Hu Shi posed as a mentor and declined. He lamented with Xu Fang before the poem, but let it go at the end of the poem. However, in his poems, he will express his understanding of Xu's sadness and always give her hope in despair. Xu Fang understands that Hu Shi just can't betray his family, so he firmly follows Hu Shi.
1936 on may 2 1 day, Xu Fang wrote to Hu Shi: "I have never made out with anyone. I really cherish my feelings. Now I have a crush on a person I admire most, and I have given him all my love. Even if he ignores it, I don't believe it is a waste of love ... I love your poems, I love you, and I will always love you. "
But this letter was read by the original. Everyone must know Jiang Dongxiu's attitude towards Hu Shi's "extramarital love" in his last article. Therefore, seeing this letter, she once again "warned" Hu Shi. Hu Shi, on the other hand, never regarded his association with Xu Fang as feelings for a moment, so he could easily face his wife's questioning. 1936, Hu Shi went to America and slowly lost contact with Xu Fang. The way didn't give Xu an answer.
Later, Xu Fang let go of this relationship and got married, and Hu Shi returned to the relationship of ordinary friends. 196 1 year, Mr. and Mrs. Xu Fang also had dinner with Hu Shi in China.
On April 28th, 2008, Xu Fang died in Taiwan Province Province at the age of 96.
