Mr Li and Li Furen are the famous Liang Sicheng and Lin. /kloc-in the 1930 s, Liang Sicheng and the Lin family often gathered many intellectual elites. At that time, many cultural celebrities such as Xu Zhimo, Jin, Shen Congwen, Xiao Gan, Zhou Peiyuan, Zhang Xiwei and even Fei Zhengqing and Wilma were guests.
On Saturday, these people get together, drink tea and chat, and enjoy themselves.
Therefore, Liang's living room became the most famous cultural salon in Peiping at that time. As the hostess, the talented woman Lin was quick-witted and considerate, and presided over the party vividly and interestingly, winning the love of all the guests. At that time, people called Liang's living room "madam's living room".
Bing Xin satirized Lin and his followers eight times in The Lady's Living Room.
Might as well 8 18 Mr. Qian Zhongshu's meaner "cat".
The heroine, Li Furen, refers to Lin.
Who are the others?
Excerpt from "Li Furen":
To say this Mrs. Li, we have to use what Chinese grammarians call the "superlative adjective".
Among all the famous wives, she is the best-looking, the most romantic and generous, the most exquisite furnishings in her living room, the most frequent guests, the most exquisite dishes and refreshments, and the widest range of her friends.
And her husband is the most docile and does not get in the way.
If, in addition to these talents, we announce that she lived in Peiping before the war, you will immediately come to the conclusion that she is the first elegant and luxurious wife in the most civilized country in the world.
(Because Beiping-the most vulgar and dirty Beijing cursed by celebrities such as Tang Ruoshi and Xie Zaihang in the Ming and Qing Dynasties-was suddenly recognized as the most elegant and beautiful city in China in the years before the war.
Even the dust in Beiping, which is three feet windless, has become antique and seems to contain the ashes plundered by the Yuan, Ming and Qing empires. History museums in emerging small countries in Europe and America send people to put the bottles back for exhibition.
After the capital moved south, Beiping lost its political role. At the same time, like all useless and outdated things, it has become a display with historical value.
Just like a tattered junk stall renamed as a colorful antique shop, although there is no difference in fact, it has greatly changed the psychology of customers.
How cold and embarrassing it is to buy cheap things in thrift stores! But if you want to go to an antique shop, you have to have money, hobbies and discernment.
In this way, people who used to disdain to pick up second-hand goods now come to buy antiques. People who originally wanted to patronize second-hand goods stalls now have another identity, which can be regarded as elegant collectors of antiques.
At that time, as long as you lived in Beiping, you could boast to your friends in Nanjing or Shanghai as if it were a title and qualification.
It is as ridiculous to say that Shanghai and Nanjing will produce artistic culture as to say that hands, feet or waist and abdomen outside the brain can think.
The discovery of the remains of "Beijingers" in Zhoukoudian proves the Excellence of Beiping residents.
"Beijingers" are the most progressive monkeys, just as Beijingers are the most civilized people in China.
Therefore, there was a saying of "Beijing School" in the newspaper at that time, and intellectuals traced back to "Beijingers" as the founders of the school. Therefore, although Beijing was renamed Beiping, they did not call themselves "Pingpai".
Almost all schools in Beijing are from the south.
Those southerners are proud of living in Beiping, as if Jews love their naturalized country and talk nonstop.
)
Since moving to Beiping, Mrs. Li's feet have not got any moisture, which is an unexpected benefit of living in a cultural center.
Family background of Mr. Li and Mrs. Li:
The fathers of Mr. and Mrs. Li are both old people in the former Qing Dynasty. Mrs Li's father is very famous, and Mr Li's father is very rich.
Before the Revolution of 1911, Li Furen's father allocated some provinces to support Taiwan Province, hoping to get some money to make up for the losses in these years.
Wuchang Uprising seems to be just messing with him. He hates the Republic of China.
Fortunately, he had a protege who became a high official in the Republic of China and sent him a pen every month to show his respect.
He lives in the Shanghai Concession, with the thoughts of the past, enjoying the modern life, making good use of the future money in advance-paying off on credit until the monthly expenses are remitted.
He gradually realized that living in public has its own way of making money.
Today, the nouveau riche will witness his son's wedding, and tomorrow, when the comprador of the foreign firm dies, he needs the old man of the former Qing Dynasty, and Xie Yi can often pay a monthly fee.
The beauty lies in the fact that the comprador's mother never dies, and the nouveau riche's sons are raised.
He is ordinary in arts and sciences, and his writing style is not excellent, but he found that as long as he stamped his official title, "a scholar in a certain year" and "a provincial envoy", his words and articles would be demanded at a high price.
Only then did he know that the demise of the Qing Dynasty came at a price, and that the old man was worth doing. He was calm and willing to send his daughter to school in other places.
Mr. Li's father, a fellow countryman, talked about Westernization very early. When he was an alternate, he went to Shanghai to order machines from foreigners. The Qing dynasty died too early and didn't realize the benefits of westernization. He just became rich.
He also worked as an attaché for traveling abroad. After returning home, he summed up his findings into four family heirloom maxims: "Eat Chinese food, live in a foreign house, and marry a Japanese wife, and you have no regrets in life!" His in-laws are well versed in the past and present, worthy of his combination of Chinese and western.
