The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Beginning in mid-May, Chang Kaishen's Central Army took the lead in launching an offensive, and once got off to a good start, but the battle was largely stalemate. Because both sides are fighting with miscellaneous troops, a second-rate warlord like Shi Yousan has actually won several battles, which is enough to show how bad the vanguard of the Central Army is.

Until late May, the elite troops of the two sides began to contact each other head-on.

The main forces of the Central Army were concentrated on the two fronts of Ping-Han and Longhai. Yan Xishan eschewed the situation and stormed the northwest of Shandong, and achieved good results in succession.

As for other battlefields, there were back and forth, stalemate.

This stalemate is the most tragic war of attrition, consuming countless money, food and soldiers' lives every day, it depends on who can last longer.

At the same time as the warlords were fighting, the exams began in Peking and Shanghai. A total of more than 1,600 college students, as well as aspiring young people who have already graduated, signed up for the first exam of the "Zhou Hexuan Study Abroad Fund".

The winners of the results are selected into the preparatory class for studying abroad for a two-month preparatory study-mainly to help foreign students improve their French, and many of them can speak English.

Racecourse Road, Xiaoyanglou.

Ms. Sun brought two cups of high-quality Longjing tea, said "Please take it slowly", and left very wisely.

Zhou Hexuan picked up the teacup and asked with a smile, "How's life as a newlywed?"

"It's okay." Li Shoumin said reluctantly with a smile. In fact, his life after marriage was very uncomfortable. The servants in this house were all invited by the Sun family. Especially the housekeeper, Sun Zhongshan's confidant, obeyed Ms. Sun's orders in everything, and didn't pay much attention to Li Shoumin, the son-in-law.

Li Shoumin was already looking for real estate. He couldn't afford the small western-style buildings in the concession, but he couldn't afford the courtyard houses in Tianjin. Once the house is selected, Li Shoumin will move out of the small western-style building immediately, he doesn't want to be cowarded by the Sun family anymore.

Zhou Hexuan saw that Li Shoumin had something on his mind, so he didn't reveal it immediately, and introduced, "Shoumin, this is Mr. Li Yaotang, your fellow from Sichuan."

Ba Jin stepped forward to shake hands and said, "Mr. Li, my name is Li Yaotang, and my name is Fugan."

"I remember," Li Shoumin said with a warm smile, "on the day I got married, Mingcheng introduced Brother Fu Gan. From your accent, you are from Cheng (Harmony), right? I am from Longevity."

Ba Jin said: "I'm currently reading Brother Shou Min's "The Legend of the Swordsman in Shu Mountain".

"I can't do it," Li Shoumin said with a wave of his hand, "I just write some recreational novels, and I'm not even considered a writer. Those of you who write serious novels are great writers."

"Brother Shoumin, don't be overly modest. Your imagination in martial arts novels is really admirable." Ba Jin laughed.

Li Shoumin said: "I like to travel everywhere and visit famous mountains and rivers. Every time I go to a place, I learn about the local myths and legends, and then I am smoked by the clouds and mists in the mountains, and I can't help thinking about it."

Ba Jin said with a smile: "That's a coincidence. I also like to travel. I spend two or three months traveling around every year. This is also a way for me to recuperate. My lungs are not good. I live in a big city for a long time. I feel uncomfortable all over, and I feel refreshed only by walking around."

"Is the lung disease serious?" Li Shoumin asked concerned.

"It's almost recovered. Two days ago, Mr. Zhou even hired a famous doctor for me." Ba Jin said.

Li Shoumin said: "I have a set of breathing skills, which are very good for nourishing the lungs. You might as well practice it."

"Okay." Ba Jin replied.

As the two talked, they gradually chatted about their hometown in Sichuan.

Li Shoumin talked about the famous mountains in Sichuan and Sichuan, such as Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng. Because of poor health, Ba Jin hadn't really gone to the mountains. Hearing Li Shoumin's wonderful speech at this time, he also moved the idea of ​​traveling and climbing mountains.

Zhou Hexuan suggested: "Let's go to Xiangshan for a walk, I heard that the environment there is good."

"Okay," Li Shoumin was excited when he heard about the tour, "I have lived in Beiping and Tianjin for several years, and I have never had time to go to Xiangshan. This time, I also brought Jing Xun with me, as if it were a honeymoon after marriage. "

Naturally, Ba Jin would not object. He is also a fun-loving person, and he especially likes to walk around with friends.

When the weekend came, everyone set off for Peiping collectively. Li Shoumin brought his wife Sun Jingxun, Zhou Hexuan and Ba Jin were traveling alone - Zhang Leyi was going to take care of the children at home, Meng Xiaodong was studying opera in Beiping, and Wanrong was going to participate in painting club activities. As for Liao Yaquan, Zhou Hexuan didn't tell her at all that he was going on a trip, only that he was going to Beiping to find Meng Xiaodong.

The driver drove them to the train station. As soon as Zhou Hexuan got out of the car, he saw Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin coming in rickshaws.

Zhou Hexuan waved at them and said, "Sicheng, Huiyin!"

Liang Sicheng was pleasantly surprised: "Mr. Zhou, you are also here, are you going to Beiping or Shenyang?"

"Peking," Zhou Hexuan said, pointing to Li Shoumin and the others, "we will go to Xiangshan together."

Lin Huiyin said with a smile: "That's a coincidence, Sicheng and I are also going to Xiangshan."

Liang Sicheng explained: "We went to Xishan to inspect ancient buildings, and the main goal this time was Biyun Temple."

"It's just right to go together," Zhou Hexuan introduced, "This is Li Shoumin, the author of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman", and this is his wife, Ms. Sun Jingxun. This is Li Yaotang, whose pen name is Ba Jin, and the author of "Destroyed."

Lin Huiyin nodded and said hello to Li Shoumin and his wife, and then said to Ba Jin: "Mr. Li, I like your novel very much, and I have admired it for a long time."

"Ms. Lin is overrated." Ba Jin said modestly.

Lin Huiyin is also hardworking. Her daughter is not yet one year old, and she suffers from lung disease, but she works tirelessly with her husband to run around, inspecting ancient Chinese buildings across mountains and ridges.

As for the "wife's living room", it was after Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin moved to Beiping to settle down. They are still living in Tianjin. The Liang family lives together, so it is inconvenient to invite someone to open a salon at home.

After everyone arrived in Peiping by train, they went straight to Xiangshan.

It was such a coincidence that Zhou Hexuan met another acquaintance when he was still down the hillside.

"Student Ma, you also come to Xiangshan to play?" Zhou Hexuan laughed.

"Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect to meet you here," Ma Jue said pleasantly, and introduced his companions, "This is my classmate from the school poetry club, Liu Liying, Zhao Fang, Yao Weiwei, Chen Dong, Chen Ziya .”

Ma Jue often wrote letters to Zhou Hexuan, discussing some literary issues, just like she often corresponded with Lu Xun. Zhou Hexuan persuaded Ma Jue not to write novels for the time being, but to write poetry instead, and Ma Jue really joined a club called Star Poetry Club at Peking University.

"My God, Mr. Zhou!"

"Is there anything wrong with my eyes?"

"Miss Lin Huiyin is also there, are you also going to Xiangshan to collect folk songs?"

"..."

Ma Jue's friends were already crazy, they surrounded Zhou Hexuan and Lin Huiyin. Photos of the two of them often appear in magazines and newspapers, so they are easily recognized, while Liang Sicheng, Ba Jin and Li Shoumin are not known to anyone.

Well, the Fragrant Hills tour group has suddenly increased to 12 people.
