Chapter 165: Survey of Social Customs
Like the progressive young females of this era, Ding Ling likes painting and later passed the art school. Unfortunately, she was not admitted. She likes literature and performs, and is a literary activist.
Even Feng Chengcheng has been keen on drama performances for a while, but fortunately I won’t mention it now.
But it would be unrealistic to let her stay at home all the time.
These young women who have been baptized by new ideas are no longer satisfied with the life of taking care of their husbands and children, but want to participate in social activities and show their own value.
They have received a good education, understand the communication principles of this society, have independent thoughts, and have independent abilities.
Lin Zixuan has seriously considered Feng Chengcheng's future career plan. It is definitely not possible to teach at girls' schools that it is too strict. He has to find a job with a relatively relaxed time.
Neither too tired nor too public.
He thought of women's clothing stores, which specializes in fashionable women's clothing imported from Paris and New York.
Most of the customers of this kind of women's clothing are rich wives and rich ladies from Shanghai. They have little trouble dating with these women. They can also take the opportunity to expand their social circles and leave them to the clerk when they don't want to do it.
Nowadays, Feng Chengcheng and Miss Song’s third sister are in close contact and are developing towards social activities, which is not a good phenomenon.
Lin Zixuan doesn’t want a social activist to appear at home. He has no interest in this kind of thing and can participate occasionally, but as a profession, he is exempt from talking.
The women's clothing store should be carried out as soon as possible. You can talk to Chengcheng in detail when you are experiencing the summer heat in Lushan.
Ding Ling was still waiting for Lin Zixuan's answer. She didn't know that Lin Zixuan's thoughts had already floated thousands of miles away.
Compared to filming movies, internships at the bookstore is really not interesting.
Most of the books published by Wanxiang Bookstore are best-selling novels, which means they are mainly novels from the Mandarin duck butterfly school, and some translated foreign books.
Ding Ling’s job is to proofread these novels to see if there are any typos, or whether the sentences are smooth, etc.
For a young man who pursues progress, it is a torment to read old-school novels like the Mandarin Duck Butterfly School every day, so she thought about transferring to the film department.
"Sir, I really like acting." Ding Ling emphasized again.
"Okay, I agree." Lin Zixuan said helplessly, "But it's very hard to make a movie. You can only play supporting roles at the beginning, so don't complain then."
"Thank you sir." Ding Ling said excitedly.
Lin Zixuan shook his head. He was worried that he had created a female movie star, but that he would lose a female writer in China.
"Don't forget to write. You have the talent for writing, don't waste it." Lin Zixuan reminded.
"Okay, sir." Ding Ling agreed to leave.
At this time, Ping Jinya walked in and he heard the conversation between Lin Zixuan and Ding Ling.
"You might as well accept her as a disciple if you are so optimistic about her." Ping Jinya joked.
Lin Zixuan thought about it and found that this disciple was not as simple as a student in the school, but a real master-apprentice relationship.
In school, anyone who has heard Lin Zixuan's lectures can be called Lin Zixuan's students, but disciples are more of the meaning of inheriting their legacy, and not all relationships can be called disciples.
Xu Zhi and Mobike Liang Qichao were considered as his disciple. He really wanted to invite guests and friends, and only after performing the ceremony of apprenticeship of teachers was considered to be considered as the beginning.
This has the same meaning as the outer disciples and personal disciples in martial arts novels.
If Lin Zixuan accepted Ding Ling as his disciple, then Ding Ling would have a backstage in the literary world from now on. Not to mention that he could walk sideways, at least his future would be bright.
But once something happens to Lin Zixuan, Ding Ling, as a disciple, will also suffer, and the two have a joint relationship.
Lin Zixuan thought about the path Ding Ling would take in the future, but he still gave up this idea. It is certainly a sense of accomplishment to acquire a future writer as a disciple, but it is difficult to explain clearly in the future.
Ping Jinya told Lin Zixuan about the ongoing "China Hundred Counties Tour Plan" that the Wanxiang Book Company has conducted.
This plan was jointly created with World Bookstore, and selected 100 counties in China to develop sales outlets and deepen distribution channels into the grassroots level in China.
The Vientiane Bookstore is responsible for fifty counties and requires a lot of financial resources.
Lin Zixuan did not hesitate. This was a key step to whether Wanxiang Bookstore could become bigger and stronger. Even if it was temporarily lost, it could supplement funds from other departments.
While Lin Zixuan was still worried about Feng Chengcheng's appearance, a more open investigation was underway in Peking.
This investigation is called the major survey on social customs.
In May 2019, the Peking University Chinese Studies School established a "Customs Survey Conference" and Zhang Jingsheng was elected as chairman.
When formulating the customs survey, Zhang Jingsheng listed more than 30 items, one of which was the "Sex History".
Zhang Jing was born on February 20, 1888 in Darongpu Village, Fubin Town, Raoping County, Guangdong Province.
In 1910, Zhang Jingsheng came to Shanghai, and advanced to the Shanghai Fudan School, sponsored by the French Catholic Church.
Due to the need of the revolution, I entered the French Higher Education in Beijing half a year later, and then was admitted to the Peking University, and was engaged in the anti-Qing activities of the Beijing-Tianjin-Pangtongmenghui as a student.
From December 1912 to 1915, he studied for his Ph.D. from 1916 to 1919 at the University of Lyon, France.
From October 1921 to 1926, he was hired by Peking University President Cai Yuanqi as a professor of philosophy at Peking University, and specially taught lectures on sexual psychology and love issues.
These five years at Peking University were his glorious five years.
During his study in France, Zhang Jing's interest in sexual research was strengthened due to the influence of France's cultural background that advocated sexual liberation and sexual freedom.
In January 2019, Peking University professor Tan Xihong married his wife's sister Chen Shujun after his wife's death. Chen Shujun's fiancé, Shen Houqi, who was already engaged, rushed from Guangzhou to Peking and filed a lawsuit in the "Morning News Supplement".
For a time, after being hyped by media from all sides, there was a lot of controversy and the city was full of storms.
At this time, Zhang Jingsheng published his view of love in the "Morning News Supplement".
There are four rules for his love: one is that love is conditional; two is that love is comparable; three is that love is changeable; four is that husband and wife are friends.
He publicly defended Chen Shujun, and he also declared: "If you rely on yourself to marry, you can terminate the contract and treat others with peace of mind! With your own freedom, you will be engaged and you will be engaged, and if you want to change the contract, you will be terminated."
This was strongly opposed in the era when arranged marriages were the mainstream, which triggered a big discussion on the concept of love in Peking, and celebrities such as Luxun participated in it.
Luxun even said that this view of love "may be able to pass in the 25th century."
This is much more sensation than the love discussion in Shanghai caused by Lin Zixuan, because Zhang Jingsheng dared to say anything, and he was not afraid of criticism from public opinion.
For Zhang Jingsheng, the love discussion is just an appetizer.
The survey on "sex history" he proposed in May challenged the nerves of the Chinese people. He also taught "sex history" in Peking University classrooms.
In later generations, this is a physiological and hygiene class.
