895 [Zhou Mingcheng's shortcomings]

In addition to Duanmu Yanliang and Xiao Hong, there was also a Japanese woman named Sachiko Ikeda.

Xiao Hong's Anti-Japanese War "Cry of the Wild" was completed at Sachiko Ikeda's home in January this year. She used to live in Jiangjin with Duanmu Hongliang, and moved to Chongqing at the end of last year to live in Sachiko Ikeda's home. Not long ago, the two just moved to Chongqing Huang

Hornbeam rented a house.

Yes, Xiao Hong and Xiao Jun have broken up, and she is now a couple with Duanmu Hongliang.

The reason why the two Xiaos broke up was very simple. Xiao Jun cheated on them several times and liked to hit people. After nearly ten years of separation and separation, Xiao Hong finally made up his mind to break up. Although this was not the first time they broke up, it was definitely the last time.

When Xiao Hong and Duanmu Hongliang were together, she was already pregnant with Xiao Jun's child. According to Xiao Hong herself, the child died just after birth, but friends said that the child was very healthy. As a result, many people in later generations speculated that Xiao Hong had

The child was strangled to death, but some people thought that Xiao Hong gave the child away because no one had seen the baby's body.

The three of them were drinking tea in the living room when Zhou Hexuan suddenly appeared, and they quickly stood up to greet him.

"teacher!"

"Mr. Zhou!"

Duanmu Hongliang, Xiao Hong and Sachiko Ikeda greeted each other in unison.

Duanmu Hongliang introduced: "Teacher, this is Ms. Sachiko Ikeda, the wife of Mr. Shikachi Wataru, a famous Japanese anti-war figure."

"Hello, Ms. Ikeda." Zhou Hexuan took the initiative to shake hands.

Sachiko Ikeda smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, it is a great honor to meet you."

The couple had begun anti-war activities in Japan more than ten years ago. In 1927, Shikachi Wataru was arrested by the Japanese government and was imprisoned until 1935. He then went into exile in Shanghai with his wife, where he and Mrs. Sun

Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Feng Naichao and others are all close friends.

Xiao Hong and Sachiko Ikeda also had a close relationship. Once they were arrested by Japanese agents, and it was with Xiao Hong's help that they escaped from Shanghai.

Zhou Hexuan expressed his sincere respect: "I am very grateful to Ms. Ikeda and my husband for everything they have done for the Chinese people."

Sachiko Ikeda said: "Peace is the common pursuit of mankind. It transcends national boundaries and races. My husband and I are just one of countless pacifists around the world."

Zhou Hexuan asked: "Where is Mr. Ludi?"

Sachiko Ikeda said: "He was engaged in instigating Japanese rebellion on the front line."

Zhou Hexuan said: "If you need any help, please just ask."

Sachiko Ikeda took out a copy of "The Goddess" and said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Zhou for your kindness. Your signature on this book is the greatest help to us. My husband is a loyal fan of Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Hexuan immediately opened the title page and wrote with a pen: I would like to give this to the good friends of the Chinese people, Lu Di Geng and Ikeda Sachiko, and wish you good health. Zhou Hexuan. June 26, 1939.

"Thank you." Sachiko Ikeda put it away carefully.

Duanmu Hongliang also took out a book: "Teacher, please correct me."

This book is "Horqin Banner Grassland" written by Duanmu Hongliang. Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Finally published?"

Duanmu Hongliang said: "According to the teacher's advice, I spent six years revising and perfecting it. I have deleted redundant descriptions and weakened the traces of "Dream of Red Mansions" in the book."

Zhou Hexuan put the book on the coffee table and said, "I will enjoy it slowly when I have time. By the way, when did you come to Chongqing?"

Duanmu Hongliang replied: "Before the fall of Wuhan last year, Xiao Hong and I moved to Jiangjin."

Zhou Hexuan blamed him: "You have been in Chongqing for so long and you haven't even visited the teacher's home?"

Duanmu Hongliang explained: "We live together with Northeastern exile writers such as Shu Qun, Bai Lang, Luo Feng, Kong Luosun, etc. We all have common topics and can usually discuss literary creation with each other."

Zhou Hexuan asked again: "Do you have a stable job?"

Duanmu Hongliang said: "I work as an editor at Xinhua Daily in Chongqing."

When he heard that it was the Xinhua Daily, Zhou Hexuan did not ask any more questions, but only warned: "Protect yourself and be careful of Kuomintang agents."

"We will pay attention to safety." Duanmu Hongliang said.

Zhou Hexuan thought about it carefully and said: "I built a high-end apartment at the intersection of Lianglu, and I still have a few empty rooms that I haven't rented out. It's very close to the air-raid shelter, so you don't have to run too far to avoid bombings."

Xiao Hong refused directly: "Thank you Mr. Zhou for your kindness, but we already have a house to live in now."

Others didn't appreciate it, so Zhou Hexuan didn't bother to say anything. He just wanted to avoid regrets.

Historically, Xiao Hong lived well in Chongqing, but she moved to Hong Kong with Duanmu Hongliang because she was too frail and sick to withstand the hardships of going to air raid shelters. As a result, she was misdiagnosed and died by a quack doctor.

But from another perspective, if Xiao Hong had not gone to Hong Kong, she might not have been able to write "The Story of Hulan River". Hong Kong's quiet and beautiful creative environment completely inspired her creative enthusiasm. Those two years were the pinnacle of Xiao Hong's literary life.

, writing is as easy as a hen laying eggs.

Xiao Hong has a very warm and lively personality. Perhaps she was embarrassed because she rejected Zhou Hexuan. She quickly changed the subject and said: "By the way, Mr. Zhou, Ms. Ding Ling asked me to say hello to you on her behalf and thank you for your help to her and the organization.

"

"When did you see her?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

Xiao Hong said: "Last year we participated in the Northwest Field Service Corps in Xi'an. She said that Mr. Zhou is a true and pure patriot." As she said, Xiao Hong suddenly laughed and said, "Mr. Zhou, you know the first time I met you in person was

When?"

"Have we met before?" Zhou Hexuan did not recall.

Xiao Hong said with a smile: "I have seen you, but you have not seen me. When you returned to China with Mr. Einstein, countless students from Peking came to the station to greet you, and I stood in the crowd."

Zhou Hexuan laughed loudly: "I didn't expect that we have known each other for almost ten years. Hello, old friend."

Duanmu Hongliang interjected: "I was still studying in Nankai Middle School at that time."

Seeing that Sachiko Ikeda had not spoken, Xiao Hong was afraid of neglecting her, so she started to bring up the topic again: "When did Ms. Ikeda meet Mr. Shikachi?"

Sachiko Ikeda said: "He has been a well-known Japanese writer for a long time. I was originally a fan of his books, and later we got to know each other because of his writing."

Xiao Hong then said to Zhou Hexuan: "Ms. Ikeda also discussed Mr. Zhou's works with Mr. Lu Xun."

Sachiko Ikeda said: "Yes, my husband was there at that time, as well as Mr. Uchiyama Zenzo. I still remember Mr. Lu Xun's evaluation of "The Goddess". He said: This book was the highlight of the Chinese literary world in the 1920s. I will study it later.

In the history of Chinese literature, in the entire 1920s, one can only mention "The Goddess"."

Zhou Hexuan waved his hands repeatedly: "Mr. Lu Xun is overly praised."

Xiao Hong smiled and imitated Lu Xun's tone, holding her fingers together like a cigarette, and said: "Zhou Mingcheng is good at everything. His biggest shortcoming is that he doesn't know how to drink soybean juice."

"Hahahaha..." Duanmu Hongliang laughed nonstop beside him, as if this sentence hit his laughing nerve.
