Chapter 96 The diet of men and women in this era

To be honest, this kind of debate has nothing directly to Lin Zixuan.

Instead, when society has developed to a certain extent, and the contradiction between old ideas and new ideas has accumulated to an extent when it needs to break out, his novel is just a small introduction.

This is the struggle of young people for arranged marriages and the protection of their own authority by the elderly.

If no party concessions were made, this wave of fighting for freedom of marriage would not stop.

For this reason, a reporter asked Lin Zixuan about his views on marriage.

Facing reporters, as a promising young man who has returned from studying abroad, Lin Zixuan naturally has to support freedom of marriage. This is a general trend in society. Of course, he also advised young people to communicate with their families with reasonable, well-founded and conciseness, and not to act recklessly.

This is a relatively safe answer, not conservative or radical.

Speaking of which, he and Feng Chengcheng also had an arranged marriage, and even the wedding date had been set, but the two got along well and there were not many conflicts.

Perhaps because I haven't lived together yet, the cumbersome daily life is a big killer for marriage.

In later generations, Lin Zixuan saw that men and women had a lot of casual attitudes in marriage. Flash marriage and divorce were common, so he had no sense of immersion in the discussions of marriage in such a fierce discussion in the Republic of China era.

If you can't get through, you'll get divorced.

But in this era, divorce is a huge harm to women, which means divorce.

Even in later generations, very few people living in rural areas will divorce.

This reminded him of a book called "The Siege".

There is a very interesting saying: people outside the city want to rush in, while people in the city want to escape.

This is really the best portrayal of marriage. Maybe this book can be written to give a footnote to this marriage discussion. However, the background of the siege in the 1930s needs to be slightly modified.

Didn’t many people say that he doesn’t write novels that focus on domestic life? “The Siege” is probably going to be slapped in the face again.

After finishing the reporter's interview, Lin Zixuan was considering whether to be low-key, because over the past few days, his fame has become increasingly popular and he has become a news figure in the eyes of reporters.

On May 14, 1922, Hu Shi published "Our Political Propositions" in the "Effort Weekly".

Lin Zixuan signed it on it, and this political proposition aroused strong response from society.

Not only because the person signed below is famous, but under the rule of the Beiyang government, the intellectual class made a voice of change for the first time.

For this reason, Lin Zixuan has been interviewed by reporters a lot.

His novels have sparked social hot topics, and the "Dream of Red Mansions" he taught at Fudan University has caused controversy in the academic community.

Hu Shi published a document in Peking to support Lin Zixuan's research on Redology, believing that systematic study of Redology using scientific methods will be a major innovation of Redology and a powerful counterattack against the old Redology.

It's obvious that it's the two of them who are praising each other.

This is how it is in the literary world. Everyone praises me, I support you, and people carry people in flower sedan chairs, and so fame will rise.

For a time, Lin Zixuan's name as the "Three Heroes of New Literature" seemed to be increasingly recognized.

In the Red Academic community, there is even the name "Nanlin Beihu".

These factors combined have greatly increased his reputation and become a celebrity in society. He appeared in the upper class because he was a child of the Lin family, and now because he is a literary master Lin Zixuan.

In Shanghai, the discussion about marriage is getting bigger and bigger, and it gradually deviates from its original direction.

A reporter who had good news began to investigate the marriage status of celebrities in society, hoping to find evidence of the pros and cons of free marriages and arranged marriages. But this investigation doesn't matter, and he actually found that many celebrities have problems with their marriages.

Most of these people have a few wives, both openly and secretly, especially celebrities who have lived in Japan, which have become the hardest hit areas.

Many people have married Japanese women or lived in a cohabitation relationship with Japanese women when they were in Japan. At the same time, they have wives in China, and even maintain improper relationships with women around them.

When monogamy was stipulated by law in the Republic of China, these people could not set an example, which caused an uproar in public opinion.

This incident involved many big names, and Guo Moruo, the newly rising literary star, was also involved.

Because Guo Moruo had a wife in Japan and his hometown, this kind of thing was common during the Republic of China period and everyone was tacitly informed, but this time he was exposed by a reporter.

"Without Zhang, my thoughts are not that new; when two women live together, my thoughts are not that old. They are neither new nor old, so I have to live like this."

This is Guo Moruo's words in a letter.

In "The Goddess", Guo Moruo is full of passion and calls for change, overthrow the old world, and creates a new era, and regards himself as a revolutionary mentor for young people.

But in fact, he was not so radical, and more shouting slogans, which disappointed many passionate young people.

Some lace tabloids in Shanghai took this opportunity to create a ranking list, listing young handsome men and ladies from Shanghai, allowing readers to play pairing games.

These ladies are ranked according to their appearance, family background and fame, while young handsome men are determined by their talent, family background and wealth. The so-called talented and beautiful women are probably like this.

The number one in women is Miss Sheng Qi and Sheng Aiyi.

The Sheng family is a top family in Shanghai. Compared with the capital tycoon, the Lin family and the Sheng family can only be regarded as second-rate families.

Sheng Aiyi is the seventh lady of Sheng Xuanhuai, the largest capitalist in Shanghai.

Sheng Xuanhuai was an official in the late Qing Dynasty, a scholar, an official businessman, comprador, representative of the Westernization School, a famous politician, entrepreneur and philanthropist. He was known as the "father of Chinese industry" and the "father of Chinese business".

Miss Sheng Qi was born in 1900. She is young and beautiful, knowledgeable. She is not only able to write poems and embroider, but also writes good handwriting. What is even more rare is that she is quite brave and has her own opinions, and is famous in Shanghai.

The first in men is Lin Zixuan, who is famous for his literary talent.

Although the Lin family is not as good as the top capital tycoons such as the Sheng family, Xi family and Zhang family in Shanghai, they started out as an industry and made steady progress, and are quite capable in Shanghai.

In addition, Lin Zixuan is a novelist with an international reputation, so it is absolutely necessary to rank first in terms of talent.

Therefore, Miss Sheng Qi and Lin Zixuan became synonymous with talented men and women.

In order to attract readers, the gossip tabloid also said that Miss Sheng Qi loved Lin Zixuan's novels very much and sent newspapers to her as soon as possible every day.

Lin Zixuan also admired Miss Sheng Qi very much, and the two even communicated with letters and secretly communicated with the song style.

This is just a fool's fabrication in the tabloids. In fact, Lin Zixuan has never seen Sheng Aiyi at all. However, the privacy of celebrities has always been the favorite of readers and spreads it more quickly.

This is the same as later generations, and gossip news will always have a market.
