Ba Jin and Xiao Shan met with pen and ink
In 1936 in Greater Shanghai, only 32 years old Ba Jin has an outstanding reputation in both literary creation and translation, especially his novel Home, which deeply awakens the young generation. At that time, there were many people pursuing Ba Jin, but he didn't like anyone. Among the patriotic students who wrote to him, there was a girl who wrote him the most letters. Her handwriting was beautiful, her words were not many, and the signature was always "a teenage girl". The girl's letter left a special impression on Ba Jin. They corresponded for more than half a year, but they never met. In the end, the girl wrote in the letter: "Why can't the written conversation be so harmonious, why can't we talk in person? I hope Mr. Li (Ba Jin, formerly known as Li Fugan) can agree to my request..." The letter not only made an appointment, but also included Holding a picture of her.
According to the agreement in the letter, that morning, Ba Jin came to the agreed hotel with curiosity. After a while, a girl wearing a school uniform and combing her student's hair appeared. Before Ba Jin could remember, the girl screamed like an acquaintance: "Oh, Mr. Li, you are here early! Ba Jin is humble. He smiled: "Oh, you are too early! Her big flickering eyes looked at Ba Jin, and she smiled elegantly and happily and said, "Mr. Li, you are much younger than I guessed." Ba Jin, who is not good at words, suddenly lost a lot of restraints and said happily: " You look more like a doll than I thought! Can you tell me your name now?" So, 18-year-old Xiao Shan (Chen Yunzhen's pen name) began to introduce herself. Since then, Ba Jin and Xiao Shan have been in love for 8 years.
Knowing the year-long love
In Ba Jin’s view, Xiao Shan’s right to love herself is her right, a natural expression of her pure and beautiful heart, and her love for Xiao Shan is out of temptation and even profanity. Suspect. Therefore, Ba Jin still treats Xiao Shan as a child. And Xiao Shan's love for Ba Jin was moved by the sincerity, passion and noble personality power in Ba Jin's works.
One day, Xiao Shan happily came to Ba Jin's residence, and after a while, she came downstairs with tears streaming down her face. A friend in the same hospital kindly grabbed Xiao Shan and asked, "Mr. Li bullied you, I'll go to him to settle the account." Xiao Shan said embarrassedly: "My father wants me to marry a rich man, I will ask him to decide But he said, this matter is for your own consideration." At this time, Ba Jin who came down later explained: "I mean, she is still young, and once she is immature, she will regret it for life. If she grows up to be independent and mature If you are still willing to ask me as an old man, then I will live with her." Ba Jin's heartfelt confession strengthened Xiao Shan's determination to pursue love.
stayed in the wind and rain for 30 years
In 1942, due to the tight war of resistance, some of Ba Jin's colleagues left the Guilin Cultural Life Publishing House, where they were working together at the time, which made him feel sad. The thoughtful Xiao Shan came to Ba Jin before graduating from university: "Don't be sad, I won't leave you, I said I was by your side." The love of girl
helped Ba Jin through the most difficult days. In the next year or so, Ba Jin worked desperately to write, translate, and compile books to make ends meet. He could not be bothered by economic problems, let alone affect his creative mood and quality. He wrote the third volume of "Fire" and translated Turgenev's "Father and Son" and "The Land of the Virgin". In this way, the tuition fees for his nephew and niece are now available, and the cost of getting married and starting a family will be no problem. On May 1, 1944, Ba Jin borrowed a wooden house from a friend on the east bank of the Li River in Guilin as a new house. They did not buy a piece of cotton, a stool or a table, only the photo of Ba Jin with his mother when he was 4 years old. Precious family property. Nothing to be safeFor the platoon, only his brother Li Jisheng was entrusted to issue a "notice" to his relatives and friends to travel and get married in the name of both parents. The following year, Ba Jin and Xiao Shan gave birth to a daughter, Li Xiaolin, and five years later, they added a son, Li Xiaotang.
They have been in love with each other for nearly 30 years, they have never quarreled or blushed once. During the "Cultural Revolution" years, Ba Jin and Xiao Shan supported and cared for each other. Ba Jin did not know how many times she had concealed the inhuman treatment she had suffered from Xiao Shan, and Xiao Shan had also endured the brutal beating of a copper-headed belt for Ba Jin. At the end of July 1972, the mentally devastated Xiao Shan contracted rectal cancer. Before the operation, Xiao Shan said to Ba Jin: "It seems that we are going to be parted." Ba Jin gently covered Xiao Shan's mouth with his hand, lowered his head, his liver and gallbladder were splitting. At noon on August 13, 1972, Xiao Shan passed away. She was chanting Ba Jin's name until she died. After Xiao Shan's death, her ashes have been kept in Ba Jin's bedroom, and Ba Jin's bedside has a translation of Xiao Shan. Ba Jin often wondered about these items. Ba Jin was deeply affectionate for Xiao Shan and wrote articles such as "Looking for Xiao Shan", "Remembering Xiao Shan", and "A Pair of Beautiful Eyes".
