Zhang Yiwei has an article "Miscellaneous Notes on Reading "Summary of Journey to the West" in the recent book "Love Journey to the West"" which introduces a modern chapter novel "Summary of Journey to the West". She commended this work for "incorporating cultural exchanges, historical dialogues, modern laws, and even cutting-edge gender issues, views on marriage, etc., which is very worthy of attention." She then claimed that the author "is talented, fresh in writing, and creative views on history, religion, and the times." It means that he wishes he had met too late. Zhang Yiwei is well-known for his novel creation and has a deep understanding of the joys and sorrows of the story. He also wrote "Research on the Continuation of Journey to the West in the Late Ming and Early Qing Dynasties" ( East China Normal University Press , 2021). He has long been familiar with the creation and research status of Dong Shuo in the Ming Dynasty. He went straight down the river and thanks to the branches and leaves, he particularly valued this "historical material that has been ignored for a long time in the study of the Continuation of Journey to the West". It is no need to say that there is indeed evidence and is not a false story. However, due to the long-term age, there are still some books. In the article, she can only find out that the author signed by "Gangzi" was Zheng Kan-hyun, who was still studying at Yenjing University . As for the relationship between this female student who died young, "with the history of education at Yenching University and the large number of publications at Yenching University, it remains to be continued to be studied in the future."
Zhang Yiwei's "Journey to the West" updated version (Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House 2022)
While studying at Yenching University, Zheng Kan-hyun and economics student Lian Shisheng met and fell in love, and later became a couple. Lian Shisheng recalled the two of them’s wandering life in the future, and promised that “the life story about their family members will be recorded in another article in the future” (“Unemployment and Theft”, included in “Forty Years Looking Back”, Nanyang Commercial Daily, 1952). But perhaps he was unwilling to touch the hidden pain in his heart again, and it has not been fulfilled since then. Therefore, the relevant situation about Zheng Kanqing can only rely on other people's guidance and verification. In addition to Zhu Hongtao's "The Man Zheng Kan's Bachelor" cited by Zhang Yiwei (Issue 4, 2018), there is also "Honey Years Like New , which is as good as before - The Friendship of Gu Jiegang and Zheng Kan's Bachelor" (Issue 3, 2016) co-authored by Ding Yi and Wang Xuelian. However, although both of these articles are dedicated to reconciling sporadic records in "Gu Jiegang's Diary", they still have to miss out on a lot of important details, and there are still no in-depth interpretations. If other relevant documents are further reviewed, we can actually have a more comprehensive and detailed understanding of Zheng Kan's life and the circulation of his works.
Zheng Kan (because the word "如" is relatively rare, sometimes also known as "Ci") was born in Xiangshan, Guangdong in 1906. She studied at Guangzhou Peizheng Girls' School in her early years. In 1928, she was admitted to Shanghai Hujiang University (see "Hujiang Wuchen Annual Journal·Catalogue of University Students", 1928), and transferred to the School of Literature of Yanjing University of Peking the following year (see "Yenjing University Faculty and Staff Student List·Catalogue of Girls' Names", 1929), and since 1932, she continued her further studies at the Yenching University Research Institute (see "Yenjing University Faculty and Staff Student List·Catalogue of Girls' Names", 1932). Since her middle school years, she has published many poems, essays and novels with distinct autobiographical colors. In it, she said, "I talked about my misfortune and early orphans, and my ancestors passed on their family through their innocence." "I have experienced many hardships for several years" ("Send a Letter to My Beloved Sister-in-law", Volume 17, Issue 15 of the 1928 Tianlai Quarterly". Later, she changed the title to "Send to My Beloved Sister-in-law", Volume 8, Issue 1 of the 1931 Yanjing Monthly); she lamented that she was alone, so that "the mother's kindness was not repaid, and her father's grievances were not yet gone" ("The strange sound of the sarcastic strings" ("The seventh sound of the sarcastic strings" ("The seventh sound of the Tianlai Quarterly" in 1927); she admitted that she was "popular" and "pride and perverted" when she was young, but fortunately she soon repented and "reversed the past" ("A Confessed Female Student", Volume 1, Issue 9 of the 1922 Peizheng Youth); she also said that she was "indifferent to scores when she was studying.In addition to class, she almost used her time to read extracurricular books." She seemed to be willing to dive into the history of books and without intention of asking about the world, but unexpectedly shouted generously, "She did not believe that there should be so-called special classes in the world. She thought that if there were any, she should use revolutionary means to overthrow it so that human beings in the world are equal" ("A Tragic Double Ten", published in 1927 "Tianlai Quarterly" Volume 17, Issue 4). Splicing these trivial fragments can be a brief glimpse of her An embarrassed family background, straightforward temperament and lofty ambitions.
1932 "Yenjing University Faculty and Staff Student List·Female Name List", the fifth from last name is Zheng Kan's
After entering Yanjing University, Zheng Kan's sect was still interested in literary creation and his writing skills became more mature. "Sustained Journey to the West" published under the pen name "Gangzi" (probably homophonic to "Kan's sect") (issues in the second issue of "Yenjing Monthly" Volume 9, 2)) Although it is only one The novella with only four chapters is ironic because of its uniqueness. At the end of the article, she praised the "Journey to the West" by Dong Shuo in the late Ming Dynasty as a satirical novel, and emphasized that "it uses novel imagination and elegant words to express the author's noble emotions and profound sorrow", and explained that this sequel "only expresses sympathy with the author and does not dare to 'repeat the dog's tail'". Based on this, it is not difficult to infer the focus of her heart's imitation and hand-chasing. "Journey to the West" follows the narrative of the dream transformation in Dong Shuo's original work. In the end, all kinds of people appeared one by one in Wukong's dream: the lecturer who was beating the monkey and crowned advocated that "disrupting politics is completely the theory of kingly ways", and pretended to declare that "killing and attacking is the business of warlords, and it is not something that politicians can hear about", "killing and killing, and killing, may not be enough", but in the end, he still shamelessly admitted that "the harm is nothing but the people, and politicians are not unfavorable"; officials who speak right and wrong pursue the philosophy of "reverse is the right" and in order to blackmail and exploit the people, "they must first issue a notice to swear integrity to the people. Anesthetize them and let them be slaughtered by him"; the Cao Zhi , who is acting as the decree of the government, advocates the simplification of the government and the sanctions of the government, promulgated and implemented six chapters of constitutions, including "the one who is good at stealing the heart", "the one who is good at stealing the country", "the one who is good at cheating the country," "the one who is good at cheating the wealth", "the one who is good at copying poetry and books is knowledgeable", and "the one who is good at seducing the wife and the one who is good at seducing the romantic", and no cases related to this are accepted; the innocent and romantic girl carefully ponders the key points of poetry creation, "Whether we write poetry, lyricism or narrative, we write about God's mother in a single chapter," because this can be done once and for all, "We will never commit any 'literary inquisition', and if we don't tell the truth, no one will offend"... Such a brushwork of cursing, laughing, and ridicule the world's style is obvious and "the strange and strange places are amazing, and sometimes it is hilarious. "Journey to the West" (Lu Xun's "A Brief History of Chinese Novels" Chapter 18, "The Gods and Demons of Ming Dynasty (Part 2)")) is in line with the same line.
Gangzi (Zheng Kan's Supplement) "Journey to the West"
Gu Jiegang, who is teaching in the History Department of Yanjing University and has published many papers in "Yanjing Monthly" quickly noticed this novel that satirized the past and was full of fantasy ideas, and then had the idea of asking the author to help him in writing. Soon after, he formally met Zheng Kan's Supplement through the introduction of Rong Yuan, the secretary of Harvard Yanjing Society. In his diary on March 16, 1933, he wrote, "I went to the Harvard Yan Society to meet Ms. Zheng Kan's Supplement", "I also wanted to be the general history of China, but I was not allowed to be an assistant. In the "Yan Da Monthly", I saw Ms. Zheng Kan-hyun's "Journey to the West" written by Ms. Zheng Kan-hyun, which was very clear and clear, and had the spirit of the people but not the spirit of the students. It was most suitable for public education." She praised her novel creation and firmly believed that if the two sides could cooperate smoothly, "the effect of saving the country" ("Diary of Gu Jiegang", Lianjing Publishing Company, 2007). At this time, Gu Jiegang was teaching the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties instead of Deng Zhicheng, who was sick, and the compilation of "History of the Han Dynasty" has tried to "prepare it with the Romance style and prepare for the future compilation of popular Chinese history" (February 17 of the same year. The punctuation has been slightly changed).According to his vision, he compiled historical reading materials suitable for ordinary people to read, "the appearance should be as popular as possible", "the genre and terminology can imitate novels", "but the content must be revolutionary" ("Historical Mission and Creative Methods of Popular Readings", published in the first issue of "People Weekly" on October 2, 1936; it also included in Gu Jiegang's "Bao Shuyuan Wencun" Volume 3, Zhonghua Book Company , 2010). Based on these standards, isn’t Zheng Kan-hyun the best candidate? In the following month, Gu Jiegang concentrated on reading many Zheng's writings, and talked about it many times in his diary, "Look at Ms. Zheng's novel "Yun Rang's Autobiography"" (Ms. Zheng's novel "Ms. Zheng"" (Ms. 29 of the same year), "Look at Ms. Zheng's long classical Chinese novel "Happy Beauty" written by Ms. Zheng at the age of fifteen", "Ms. 如歌 is really a literary genius. The novel written by her at the age of fifteen is very lively, and the poems and letters inserted are also well done" (April 13 of the same year). After this careful browsing, she not only comprehensively examined her writing skills, but also fully understood her character. "I knew your thoughts as soon as I read "Continued Journey to the West"" and Gu Jiegang immediately wrote a letter to Zheng Kan-kan, emphasizing that "I think we are the people of the true revolutionary", and also hoped that young people with ambition could form a group, "determine a common goal, and each person does his own work, so that the results of the work will be the same. Accumulated by years will surely have great results" (April 16, 1933, included in "Collected Letters of Gu Jiegang", Volume 2, Zhonghua Book Company, 2011), and obviously had firmly strengthened the idea of inviting him to cooperate in research.
"Diary of Gu Jiegang" On March 16, 1933, it was mentioned that the first meeting with Zheng Kan's wife
In Gu Jiegang's diary for several years, there were many records of mutual visits, correspondence and discussion with Zheng Kan's wife, and the two started a series of cooperation on this. When formulating the three-year research plan, Gu Jiegang specially included it in the book "Historical Talks of Qin and Han Dynasties" and clearly marked "Ms. Zheng Kan-hyun" ("Diary of Gu Jiegang", May 31, 1933). In the "Examination Work Outline" (included in Volume 1 of Gu Jiegang's "Bao Shuyuan Wencun"), he also made a step-by-step and orderly arrangement: in 1933, Zheng "read "Records of the Grand Historian", " Han Shu ", " Later Han Shu ", formulated the title and compiled materials", and Gu "completed the "Historical Lecture Notes on the History of the Han Dynasty" about 60 chapters"; in 1934, Zheng "replaced the History of the Han Dynasty" compiled by Jiegang into a historical talk of Qin and Han Dynasty", Gu "tested the History of the Shang and Zhou historical talk (if this work is too difficult, I will first compile the historical talk of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties)"; in 1935, "The History of the Qin and Han Dynasties" was published, Zheng "replaced the History of the Shang and Zhou dynasties (or the History of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties)" and Gu "supply the materials for the rework." After that, Zheng Kan-hyun published "Goujian Bao Wu" (included on the Ta Kung Pao on March 29, 1935), "Fire Bull Formation" (included on the 1935 Women's Weekly Publication Volume 19, No. 8), "Zi Chan Zhuan Zhuan" (included on the 1935 Ta Kung Pao on August 9, 1935), "Lin Xiangru and Lian Po" (included on the 1936 declaration "), "Wang Sun Jia's Mother" (included on the 25th June 1936 Public Knowledge Volume 1, Issue 5), "Li Guang" (included on the 1937 Public Knowledge Volume 1, Issue 7, signed "Gangzi"), and "Zhuge Liang" (Included in the first, issue 8 of Volume 1, 1937), "Chunyu Tiying" (Included in the "Shen Bao" on March 25, 1937, signed by "Gangzi"), "Sun Bin and Pang Juan" (Included in the "Shen Bao" on May 27, 1937, and June 3, 1937), and other historical stories of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties. Gu Jiegang also kept mentioning in his diary that "talk about the come, keep dinner, question the doubts of "Records of the Grand Historian"" (June 22, 1933), "talk about the come, keep dinner, and see the story of the land he made to save Qi" (February 7, 1934. The punctuation has been slightly changed), "changed into the article "The Mother of Wang Sun Jia" (May 28, 1936), or answer questions and explain difficulties, or subscribe to the manuscript. By comparing the two, these articles must be part of the first draft of the "Historical Talk of Qin and Han Dynasties".
Gangzi (Zheng Kan-chan) "Li Guang"
At the same time, Zheng Kan-chan wrote "Zhang Jizhi" (included in "Ta Kung Pao" on July 5, 1935), "Wang Yi" (included in "Ta Kung Pao" on October 18, 1935), "Fei Gongren" (included in "Ta Kung Pao" on November 22, 1935), "Zheng Cheng and his son" (included in "Ta Kung Pao" on July 10, 1936), "Fan Zhongyan" (included in "Popular Knowledge" Volume 1, 2), and "Wang Anshi" (included in "Popular Knowledge" Volume 1, 2), and "3rd in "Popular Knowledge" Volume 1, 1936", "Popular Knowledge" Volume 1, 2), and "Wang Anshi" (in "Popular Knowledge" Volume 1, 3rd in "Popular Knowledge" Volume 1, 1936), and "Third in "Popular Knowledge" Volume 1, 1, 1936), and "Third in "Popular Knowledge" Volume 1, 1, 1936), and "Third in "Popular Knowledge" Volume 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, Issue), "Zhou Yuji and his wife" (Since September 24, 1936 "Shen Bao"), "Kou Zhun" (Since Volume 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 9, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1, Issue 1 Based on this, these articles are probably related to the "To prepare for the general history of China, we will first compile historical talks from various periods" ("Examination Work Outline"), and should be the preparation work that Zheng completed in advance in order to continue to write historical talks in other periods. It is worth proof that during this period, Gu Jiegang also mentioned several times that "changing the historical outline made by Kan's son" (April 21, 1935), "to go to the historical outline of Kan's son, change the history he compiled" (May 19 of the same year), "to read the high school history textbook compiled by Kan's son, and briefly modify it" (July 12, 1937), this history textbook compiled based on the outline is obviously not limited to the Qin and Han dynasties. Zhengzhong Bookstore even published a preview of the new book "History of the Founding of the Country" co-authored by Gu Jiegang and Zheng Kan-hyun (released on June 29, 1937). Although this high school textbook, which was newly compiled in accordance with the revised curriculum standards and approved by the Ministry of Education, was not officially published in the end, it is likely that it was the official title of the "General History of China" in the original plan. The content should have been made by Gu Jiegang based on Zheng Kan-hyun's series of articles.
These articles written by Zheng Kanliang are inferred that whether it is the "Historical Talk of Qin and Han Dynasties" that capture clips, or the "History of the Founding of the Country" that connects ancient and modern times, they mainly tell stories of historical figures. In the "Discussion on the Teaching Method of Middle School History" (Issue 1, Issue 4 of "Teaching and Learning", which was revised by Gu Jiegang based on the first draft of Zheng Kanliang (Issue 4 of "Teaching and Learning", it was also included in Gu Jiegang's "Bao Shuyuan Wencun" Volume 3), he repeatedly advocated that "we should have a history of 'people'", "we should use the means of picking gold on sand to find out 'people' in ancient documents", and loudly called for "It is the responsibility of history teachers to introduce national heroes in history to inspire young people." It can be seen that this writing style was carefully considered by Gu and Zheng. Although these historical figures and stories are aimed at popularizing knowledge, Zheng Kan-chan tried to engage in them without neglecting them when he was writing. When crawling and picking documents, she always tries to take into account all kinds of historical materials. For example, Wang Anshi's reform of has always been a common discussion and mixed reviews. The "reference books" appendix to "Wang Anshi" are quite rich. Historical books include both the "History of Song Dynasty" in the form of "History of Song Dynasty" in the form of "History of Song Dynasty" in the form of "History of Song Dynasty" in the form of "History of Song Dynasty" in the form of "History of Song Dynasty", and the genealogical records include "History of Gu Donggao" in the form of "History of Wang Jinggong" in the form of "History of Wang Jinggong", and "A Brief Study of Wang Jinggong" in the form of "History of Wang Jinggong" in the form of "History of Wang Jinggong" in the form of "History of Wang Linchuan" in the form of "History of Wang Jinggong", and other collections such as "History of Wang Linchuan" in the form of "History of Yuanfeng". The detailed and diverse nature of the Shiyuan ensures the rigorous and detailed content. When analyzing and deciding on the difficulties, she paid attention to the latest achievements of the academic community. For example, because of lack of historical materials, Mo Zi's hometown and age have many problems" (Liang Qichao's "Mozi's Study Case" Chapter 1 "General Theory", Commercial Press , 1921). The article "Mozi" "determines Mozi as a native of Song" "according to Mr. Gu Jiegang's recent research" and "refers to his contempt", and determines his birth and death years "according to Mr. Hu Shizhi's research", reflecting the intention of striving for excellence in the subtleties.She often has deep understanding of the dangerous words and deeds of the evangelist. For example, Sima Qian "Records of the Grand Historian" records that Li Guang once took the opportunity to kill Ba Ling Wei who humiliated him. Later generations often criticized him for revenge and being narrow-minded, "not forgetting the minor regrets of a lieutenant" (Ling Zhilong compiled "Records of the Grand Historian" Volume 109). A article in "Li Guang" pointed out reasonably, "It is difficult for a passionate and unrestrained person to control himself rationally." "Whoever touches his taboos is like putting a sharp arrow in his heart, which is unbearable", guiding readers to put themselves in their shoes and understand the pain that is not worthy of being told to others. Of course, when the master was a little flawed when he was in the process of life, she would never protect him. For example, in the article "Kou Zhun" is based on the meaning of "reproaching and seeking completeness", it fully affirms his "bright and upright, dares to fight against the court, and has the demeanor of a minister", and also criticizes him for "governing with strength, not tolerate things, without the calmness of a great politician, easily being jealous of others and easily being calculated by others". It does not make arbitrary choices because of personal likes and dislikes, which is naturally of great benefit to a fair and clear understanding of the master.
When telling the life anecdotes of these historical figures in detail, Zheng Kanqing fully demonstrated his abundant imagination and vivid writing style, not simply rewriting historical materials into vernacular, but just using them to perfunctory. For example, when an article in "Fire Cow Formation" describes the Yan State army besieged Jimo City, Qi State, saying: "On the day the Jimo doctor was killed, the wind was terrible, the whole city was full of death, the red sun lost its light, and the crows were silent; looking away ten miles away, the flag of victory of Yan soldiers was flying, and all around were heard were the songs of victory of Yan soldiers; the old man had a strange dream at night, and the children sang fierce songs during the day. Now everyone suspects that the end of Qi State has arrived, but no one can bear to say it, and only secretly thickens the worries on his face. Yun, the calm eyes hidden a little decisive spirit. "When Qi general Tian Dan was ordered to call on Qi to rise up and fight against insults, he suddenly inserted a paragraph: "The air in the field is very silent. The sound of the plowing ox in the wild, the footsteps of war horses wandering on the mountain, the indignant breath of the old woman, and the touching old woman could clearly hear it from a distance and near. Tian Dan got up and spoke in such a quiet moment. "After rendering layer by layer and constantly accumulating momentum, he finally set off a thrilling tense atmosphere. For example, in the article "Feigong Ren", it talks about Ming Sizong Chongzhen was facing internal and external troubles and was reluctant to eat. "Under the astigmatism of the colorful gaze covering the silver lamp, he saw his eyebrows deep and his expression was melancholy. He couldn't sit for more than ten minutes, so he got up and walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back. Sometimes he looked up at the octagonal sarong rippled on the roof of the evening breeze; sometimes he lowered his head and gently stepped on the 80% old carpet, counting the golden silk bats that had not been completely wiped off the soles of his shoes; sometimes he used his fingers to bounce the vase on the table and listened to the sound of waving; sometimes he pulled out the sword on his body to shake it a few times, sometimes..." He used a series of unconscious actions to imply his inner anxiety and panic, and thus contrasted the calmness and courage of the heroine Fei Zhen'e. The contents of these fragments are all from Zheng's fiction and have no documents to be used, but they are in line with human affairs and have greatly added to the interest of reading.
When these carefully written historical figures were first published one after another, Meng Jiao felt the national crisis in "The Importance of Editing and Publication of Popular Readings" (Published on April 6, 1935). She believed that "what the people can do now is to eliminate illiteracy and promote public education, and start with local work." She specifically named "Goujian Baowu" as a typical example for "promoting civil education". After more than ten years, Wang Qi discussed "Popular Knowledge" edited by Gu Jiegang in "Talkan Pao" (released on January 8, 1948). He also believed that "the most special column is the story of historical celebrities, mostly written by Ms. Zheng Kan-hyun. Those who were good at ancient people wrote the examples of the ancients and wrote biography in plain vernacular with illustrations; this is not seen in other publications." He also appreciated its unique characteristics; then he mentioned that "Shen Bao also had a special edition called "Popular Lecture", which was published once a week, and specialized in historical stories between Chinese and Western countries." Zheng Kan-hyun is also the main contributor of this column.Gu Jiegang initially wanted to invite Zheng Kan-hyun to cooperate, relying on her outstanding literary talent. Facts proved that she was indeed able to bear this responsibility and lived up to expectations.
Zheng Kan's "Goujian Bao Wu"
Zheng Kan's excellent performance has also attracted the attention of other historians. He also served as the editor of "Ta Kung Pao·History and Geography Weekly" and edited and published Zheng's works. He also published articles in "Popular Knowledge" Professor of History of Tsinghua University Zhang Yinlin . He was commissioned to compile primary school history textbooks at the time. In the "Commentary on the First Draft of the History Textbook of Gao Primary School" (released in the "Ta Kung Pao" on April 2, 1937), he vowed that "it is not written in the usual way of writing textbooks, hoping that it can become a reading material for ordinary children." Therefore, in the "Preface to the History of Children" (same as the previous), he first pointed out that "taking several important figures as the center point, their personality and career must be fully demonstrated. This is the "front of the narrative". Other historical common sense is adopted as the "backward situation"", in short, "taking characters as the center of narrative", which coincides with the "history talks of history" planned by Gu Jiegang. At the end of this "Preface", he also specifically said, "The completion of this book depends on the help of Ms. Zheng Kanci, Ms. Yuan Zhenzhi, and Mr. Yang Liansheng." He sincerely thanked them for their selfless help. Rong Geng , who was then a professor of the History Department of Yenching University, mentioned in his diary on July 26, 1936 that "Zhang Yinlin came and talked about the editing of primary school textbooks with Zheng Kan" (Xia Heshun compiled "Rong Geng's Diary", Zhonghua Book Company, 2019), which proves that Zhang and Zheng did have specific discussions on this "History of Chinese Children". It is regrettable that because Zhang Yinlin died prematurely due to illness, this book has not been fully compiled and published (only people today have picked up some of the manuscripts of Zhang Yinlin and Yuan Zhen - that is, Yuan Zhenzhi and Wu Han's wife - and compiled them into "History of Children's Chinese", Beijing Publishing House , 2021). Judging from the catalog of the entire book provided by Zhang's , there are several numbers of Kou Zhun, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, and Zheng Chenggong. Zheng Kan's wife have written related articles before (the catalog includes Mo Zi, Zhuge Liang, Xie An, etc., but it has been written by Zhang Yinlin himself). Whether these articles are directly used when integrating them into a book, or deleting, modifying and polishing them on this basis is probably difficult to investigate.
Zhang Yinlin "Preface to the History of Children"
Gu Jiegang also mentioned in the "Examination Work Outline" that the modern part of "historical talks of history" will "including foreign history", probably because of the increasing frequency of Sino-foreign exchanges in recent years. Unfortunately, I have not found out what to do. But what is certain is that it is perfectly competent to write this part of the content by Zheng Kan-hyun. The Peizheng Girls' School, Hujiang University and Yenching University, which she studied and worked in, were all schools established by the church. The Yenching University, which she studied and worked in the end, "realized the internationalist ideal rooted in the Christian Protestant missionary cause and Chinese soil" and "had a strong cross-cultural connection" (Philip West's "Yenjing University and China-Western Relations" Chapter 8 "Conclusion", translated by Cheng Long, Beijing Normal University Press, 2019). As a result, she was influenced by Western civilization and was often revealed in her works. "The Supplement to Journey to the West" mentioned that "Today is the end of the world", "The end of the world is different from the west, and the west is based on the behavior of the world", which has a strong theological color; while Wukong was wandering around, "humming the love song of 'Are you lonesome tonight...' with people", which was actually a famous country music song that was reinterpreted by Elvis Presley decades later and was reinterpreted by Elvis Presley. Even when writing stories of historical figures, she sometimes suddenly appears and can easily find a sense of inspiration, trying to communicate the differences between Chinese and Western cultures. A piece of "Li Guang" was inspired by the strange encounters of the master, lamenting that "heroes can create the times, but many heroes sacrificed for the times." It was a clip of British writer H. G. Wells' sighing in The Outline of History that many people in British history "died in poor alleys and did not get the opportunity to develop geniuses" as a reference comparison.This concise world history was very popular in that year. Gu Jiegang had asked about the book "what do you have about Chinese history" very early ("To Pan Jiaxun" on April 10, 1922, included in "Collected Letters of Gu Jiegang" Volume 1). Qian Zhongshu also handed over the original version he had left to Gu Jiegang (see Volume 7 of "Catalog of Signatures of Gu Jiegang's Old Collection" edited by Yu Guolin, Volume 7 of "Catalogue of Signatures of Gu Jiegang's Old Collection", Zhonghua Book Company, 2013). It may be related to this book when Zheng Kan-chan pays attention to this book. The book has a classical Chinese translation of "Outline of World History" (Commercial Press, 1927) by Liang Sicheng, , , Xiangda, and others, and has been revised and reprinted many times. But perhaps in order to see the whole text, Zheng Kan-hyun did not use the ready-made translation when recording, but instead translated it in vernacular based on the original English work. From this we can see that she is more familiar with Western literature and her foreign language skills have reached a considerable level. So while publishing a large number of stories about Chinese historical figures, she also took the time to write "Edison" (in the "Sheng" on March 19, 1936), "Bast" (in the "Sheng" on March 26, 1936), and "Lester" (in the "Sheng" on April 9, 1936), introducing these anecdotes of modern and modern Western scientists. "Bastot" article talks about "He knew that competing with people in the exam room for scores is harmful and useless. He ignored this and focused on doing scientific experiments in the laboratory." It also has a bit of the meaning of a master's own words. These stories are told in a lively manner, and are also very popular among readers. Publications such as "Public Education Weekly", "The Sound of Pastoral in the End of Times", "Overseas Affairs Monthly", and "Knowledge and Action Monthly" have also been reprinted one after another. However, it is very likely that in order to concentrate on ensuring the completion of the ancient parts of the history of history, she did not continue to write such foreign characters.
Gu Jiegang's academic interests are extensive and changeable, but his daily affairs are extremely complex, so he often cannot do his best and earn his contributions in one battle. He needs many friends and disciples to help him and take care of them. In addition to participating in the writing of historical books such as "Historical Talks on the Qin and Han Dynasties" and "History of the Founding of the Country", Zheng Kan-yeong also assisted him in handling various matters. First, the editorial and review the publication. As early as Hujiang University, she served as the editor of the school magazine "Tianlai Quarterly" (see the list of editorial departments listed at the beginning of Volume 17, No. 14 to Volume 18, Volume 18, Volume 1), and has accumulated experience in reviewing and editing. Gu Jiegang, who is in charge of the popular reading book editing and publication agency, talked about the "private allowance" of the couple, "because he asked him to do his job for the popular reading book club and also to modify his contributions" ("Diary of Gu Jiegang", December 11, 1933). A few years later, in order to prepare for the bimonthly issue of "Popular Knowledge", Gu Jiegang made a special trip to "Go to the Kan's House for dinner and discuss "Popular Knowledge"" (same as BC, November 1, 1936). Lian Shisheng also recalled in "Learning from Gu Jiegang" (included in "Southern Travel Collection", Nanyang Commercial Daily, 1955) that this magazine "was the editor-in-chief of Mr. Wu Shichang, Ms. Yang Gang, Ms. Zheng Kan-hyun and I were the editors of each part", which can be confirmed by each other. Zheng not only actively wrote articles for the publication, but also took on the daily editorial work of the editorial department, and devoted a lot of time and energy to it. So many years later, Gu Jiegang reviewed the "books published before" in his diary, and mentioned "Popular Knowledge" and specifically stated that it was "same as Yang Gang and Zheng Kan-hyun" (June 30, 1957). The second is to select textbooks. At the end of 1933, the Yadong Library asked Gu Jiegang to preside over the editing and selection of Chinese textbooks in the middle school. Gu immediately decided to "convene to ask Wu Shichangjun, Li Suying and Zheng Kan-hyun to combine them" (January 1, 1934). He soon convened three people to "convene to discuss the editing of Chinese textbooks in the middle school" (January 8 of the same year), and agreed to the publishing house to "pay for about one and a half years" (January 17 of the same year). A few months later, he returned to Hangzhou for funerals and entrusted various affairs to others. The "Chinese Textbook for Middle School" was designated to be borne by "Kan Jiao, Su Ying, and Zizang" (August 31 of the same year). Unfortunately, this book was not published as scheduled in the end, and the specific division of labor could no longer be derived. Finally, there is a paper that is drafted on behalf of others. Gu Jiegang once planned and systematically studied the academic history of the Qing Dynasty. For this reason, he "prepare the ten scholars of the Qing Dynasty" (July 9, 1935) and handed over to her to collect information and draft the first draft.After some of the first drafts were completed, Gu immediately "read the works of "Gu Tinglin" by Kan's Chau" (September 2 of the same year), and "changed the three articles of "Gu Tinglin", "Huanglizhou" by Kan's Chau's Chau's works all day long (September 28 of the same year). Zheng then made detailed supplements and revisions based on his opinions, and then wrote another article "Li Yong". More than two months later, Gu talked about "the four articles written by the school kidnapper, including Huang Zongxi" (February 1, 1936). Later, this batch of articles was serialized in the magazine "Middle School Students" under the general title of "Biographies of Modern Great Thinkers" (all have been included in Gu Jiegang's "Bao Shuyuan Wencun" Volume 3), and the matter came to an end. Zheng Kan-kan also divided the work and cooperated with Children's Book Industry (Pixen), drafted the "Study and Methods of Sinologists in the Qing Dynasty". Finally, Gu's "revised Pisheng and Kan-kan-kan to make broadcasting manuscripts, which were sent to the Ministry of Education" (August 26 of the same year). It was broadcast on the radio soon after (the text was serialized in the "Central Daily" from September 23 to 26, 1936, and was reprinted by many newspapers and magazines such as "Ta Kung Pao", "News", "Central Weekly", "Broadcasting Weekly", and "Broadcasting Education Monthly"; it has now been included in Gu Jiegang's "Bao Shuyuan Wencun" Volume 2). In just a few years, under Gu Jiegang's full trust, Zheng Kan-hyun (according to Gu Jiegang's Diary, he took Zheng's graduation exam on June 9, 1937) had undertaken many trivial and difficult tasks. During this period, he also experienced his pregnancy and childbirth and his husband's abdomen and cut off his intestines to treat his intestines. The couple was at ease with this. As Lian Shisheng recalled later, "The couple can sit in Beijing Library to read and write, and food and clothing can ensure worry-free. This is the initial gain we have gained from studying hard in Beijing for ten years" ("Unemployment and theft", included in "Recalling for Forty Years"), and are full of gratitude for Gu Jiegang's past rewards and blessings.
Gu Jiegang's "Huang Zongxi - One of the Biography of Modern Great Thinkers", the first draft was drafted by Zheng Kan's wife
It should be added that if you only regard Zheng Kan's wife as a collaborator of academic research or assistant of daily affairs, it is not enough to fully explain the reason why Gu Jiegang favored her and entrusted her with important responsibilities. After all, among the disciples of Gu, there are many people who have played similar roles, including Children's Books, Yang Xiangkui , Tan Qixiang , Hou Renzhi , Shi Nianhai , Liu Qiyan and many others. They are both proficient in their respective professional fields, and when Sasuke Gu Jiegang is engaged in academic research or dealing with daily affairs, they are obviously more at ease than Zheng Kan-hyun, who is a young man and has not experienced the world. After a little review of Gu Jiegang's records in his diary, we can find that he actually regarded Zheng as a confidant who could express his thoughts and relieve his depression. His relationship was much closer and harmonious than that of ordinary teachers and students. When they first met, Zheng Kan-hyun left an unusually deep impression on him. "Ms. Zheng is very simple and promising," he wrote in his diary that day, "The appearance (eyes and lips, and their smile) is quite similar to the vain, which makes me sad" (March 16, 1933). This "Muyu" is Tan Muyu. She is often called "Tan Tiwu" and "Jianchang" in her diary. She is a female student who Gu Jiegang fell in love with at first sight when he was teaching at Peking University. Gu Jiegang was deeply in love with her and even boldly expressed his love for her, but she was infatuated with her for more than fifty years and ended up in no success. "The figure of Tan is almost anywhere in the Diary. Gu wrote countless poems for her and had various dreams. The strong emotions can be imagined" (Yu Yingshi's "Unext Talent - Looking at Gu Jiegang's Inner World from Diary" 5 "Gu Jiegang and Tan Muyu", published in the beginning of the "Gu Jiegang Diary"). Just over a year ago, Gu Jiegang made a special trip to Nanjing to visit Tan Muyu, but unexpectedly realized that the other party seemed to have another love, so he couldn't help but feel sad. He wrote in his diary, "A hundred thousand measures must be abandoned, but this is the only thing that is sad" and "I have to live a thousand tears, and I will flow into my belly every year" and other poems (January 22, 1932). Although he let himself go the next day, "He has comfort, even those who love each other can comfort him, so why hate him?The one who is sad is that friendship cannot continue from now on, and even this opportunity to hide is not easy to get" (January 23 of the same year), but this is undoubtedly a pretending to be open-minded and deceiving oneself. "In fact, it is just a rationalization, but emotionally it is completely different" (Yu Yingshi's "Unext Talent - Looking at Gu Jiegang's Inner World from the Diary" 5 "Gu Jiegang and Tan Muyu"). When he met Zheng Kan's first time, Gu Jiegang had not yet broken free from the pain of breaking up love, and suddenly found that Tan and Zheng looked very similar. That is, he touched the deep and secret thoughts, and even "sad" and showed great disobedience. Since then, Gu Jiegang has repeatedly linked Tan and Zheng together: after long talks, he immediately praised "Ms. Kan'an is a very enthusiastic person, similar to Jianchang" (April 20, 1933); once he "dreams with Jianchang and traveled hand in hand", and when he sent her back to the dormitory, he "smudges his skin and burned his hands very much". He was worried and anxious, and suddenly dreamed that he "met met Kan'an" and learned from her about Tan's illness and situation, and he was "worrying and awake at this time. The window was dark and light, and the voices were silent. I searched for my dreams and felt sad, so I could not sleep in the morning" (November 25, 1935); a few years later, Zheng passed away suddenly, which made him cry, and compared the two again, "Jianchang, and to be my close friend, Jianchang knew each other in front. I loved me since I could not let him move, and I was too arrogant to talk about my boldness and freedom, and I could talk about everything, and I also created a peak in friendship" (October 22, 1938), which shows that in his mind, the two were hard to separate. It is particularly worth noting that Gu Jiegang had originally planned to "share a general history of China with Tan Muyu. I served in ancient times to the Qing Dynasty, and she served in the Opium War until now. If this work can be really done, the spiritual combination of our two will last forever, and will last for a hundred years be even better than a couple! ” (February 4, 1931). For this purpose, he also wrote to Tan to explain in detail, hoping that "the Communist Party will become this masterpiece in the appropriate environment in the future" (February 5, 1931 to Tan Tiwu, included in Volume 2 of "Collected Letters of Gu Jiegang". Tan soon responded, "bearing my request" and making plans, "take three or four hours a day to read and take notes", "When the insights are mature, then write papers to exercise the publishing ability." This made Gu Da feel relieved and felt that "my life is meaningful" (February of the same year 17th). Now that time has changed, the collaborators can only change to Zheng Kan-chan. To a certain extent, Gu Jiegang has obviously gradually regarded Zheng Kan-chan as the incarnation of Tan Muyu, hoping that all the pain and depression he suffered in his emotions can be comforted and relieved from her.
1934 November 8, 1934 Gu Jiegang (middle) and Tan Muyu (right) and Xia Kuiru (left) took a photo by the West Lake. In his diary that day, Gu mentioned that "I went to Yue's grave with Jianchang and Kuiru to have dinner and went to Yue Take a photo of the grave.
It is precisely because of this special psychology of loving the house and the wuwu that Gu Jiegang felt familiar and intimate towards Zheng Kanqing. Less than two months after he met, he took advantage of the opportunity of "returning with Kanqing" to "send Lu'an letter to show it during his trip two years ago, and gave it to him a book of "Ancient History Diary"" ("Gu Jiegang's Diary", May 11, 1933). In April and May 1931, he formed an archaeological tour group with teachers and students such as Yan, Hong Ye, Rong Geng, Wu Wenzao, Zheng Dekun, and Lin Yueming, and went to the river During the inspection, he used letters to report his wife Yin Luan along the way. Now he has never seen any other place to pass on this batch of letters to Zheng, and attached the "Ancient History" which outlines his personal academic interests. Naturally, he hopes that she will improve her understanding of her life and career. After reading this batch of letters, Zheng Kan was indeed deeply moved. In reply, he said that he wanted to write a biography for Gu (May 17 of the same year), which made him feel as if he was ashamed. After that, as he got along with each other over time, the two sides became more and more familiar with each other.Although Gu Jiegang particularly admired Zheng Kan-chan and Lian Shisheng, his wife, "a strong personality, both studied and worked hard, and they were very respectful." He was glad that he "had a close neighbor with him, and had close contacts and was unrestrained in conversation, which was also a pleasure" (July 8, 1935); Zheng Kan-chan was also frank and without pretentiousness. After reading Gu's early years' "Thoughts on the Old Family" (serialized in 1919's "New Trend" to 1920's Volume 1, No. 4 and No. 5), he even criticized him in person for "too many worries. Since he wanted to transform the old family, he would not be afraid of the pain of his elders." After hearing this, Gu had to admit that "I am not a revolutionary, which shows that reason and feelings are not given up" (November 21 of the same year). Gu Jiegang became a regular visitor to the Zheng couple's family. On Zheng's birthday, he was invited to "travel the Beihai Park with their family. Go to Kan's house to eat birthday noodles" (September 6, 1936). When Gu Jiegang was upset by various family trivial matters, Zheng Kanqing became his endless object of congratulations. When the marriage of the eldest daughter Gu Ziming was in crisis, he mentioned that "Divine marriage to talk about Ziming's marriage, divorce may be inevitable. However, what is the problem after divorce is a big problem" (January 2, 1937). Zheng Kan-hyun, who is also a married young woman, should have expressed a lot of opinions on this for his reference. Due to the turbulent situation, Gu Jiegang was very angry because his father was indulging in peace, but had no choice but to shout secretly, "I am so angry that I am too different" (November 12 of the same year). It was not until the next day that he "wrote a joke on his letters and relieved his depression" (November 13 of the same year), that his irritable mood gradually eased.
As the war in Lugou Bridge suddenly broke out, the situation in Peking suddenly became tense. Gu Jiegang was forced to leave Beijing in a hurry and go to Guisui. Not long afterwards, Zheng Kan-chan and Lian Shisheng fled to Hong Kong with their young daughter Lian Qiaosi. In order to save daily expenses, Zheng Kan-hyun once lived with his daughter at a relative's house in Macau. Gu Jiegang, who was exiled everywhere, learned about their recent situation through letters. From time to time in his diary, he talked about "Writing and Kan's Letters" (August 5, August 29, October 16, March 24, 1938), "Writing and Kan's Letters" (September 20, 1937), "Writing and Kan's Letters" (March 1, July 7, 1938), "Writing and Kan's Letters of the Overseas Chinese "(March 15, 1938), when communicating with others, "Botang (note: Lian Shisheng's name is Botang) and his wife first lived together in Hong Kong. Soon, they talked about the enlargement of their hearts and lived alone in Macau to raise their wombs. Botang is probably expected to do things in Hong Kong" (March 24, 1938 "To Chen Maoheng and Zhao Quancheng", included in Volume 2 of "Collected Letters of Gu Jiegang"), and passed their situation to friends to explain their concerns. Judging from the tone in the letter, he seemed to be feeling a little relieved that the Zheng family could finally settle down temporarily. He would never have thought that just a few months later, Zheng suddenly passed away due to illness. According to Lian Shisheng, Zheng Kan-hyun moved back to Hong Kong from Macau in May 1938. "Because of excessive hard work, he suffered from heart disease, the doctors were helpless and passed away at 10 pm on August 3" ("Unemployment and theft", included in "Recalling for Forty Years"). Due to the fierce war, the postage route was blocked. It was not until two and a half months later that Gu Jie had just learned about this matter, "I have to take away all the letters and die!" "Kan's death has been 80 days!" "Kan's death is so sad! I'm crying for it" (October 22, 1938). In the following few days, he was always mourning. He could not sleep all night because of this, "crying bitterly, and crying until dawn", and even lost all day long. "In the car, I wanted to talk about it, but I burst into tears. Oh, my heart was broken! When I shaved my head tonight, I sat quietly and thought, but I burst into tears. The barber shaved with me while wiping my tears" (October 23 of the same year); then checked out the diary of the day she died, and said, "How could I think it was 10 o'clock tonight, Kan's son died in Hong Kong! " (After note on October 23, August 3, the same year), I felt that this matter was like a dream and was unbelievable; then I replied to Lian Shisheng and others to express my condolences, "I was so sad again. It was not Kan's son's death, I really didn't know that I had such deep affection for her." I even said, "Sixteen years after my grandmother's death, I have never cried for others. I didn't expect that these tears were stored in crying and chatting for my son" (October 25, the same year), and I was still deeply sad and unable to hold on.
Even in the following decades, Gu Jiegang still couldn't let go of Zheng Kanqing's sudden death. I flipped through my previous diary casually, and the ordinary trivialities would evoke his clear memories. I couldn't help but add a few more strokes, "This day is for me and Kan's last travel together, and I sighed here" (Addressed on June 3, 1937, March 4, 1939, attached), "Today, I left my father and Kan's name, and I became a lasting confession, so I was hurt!" (Addressed on July 21 of the same year) "This is for me for the last letter of Kan's name!" (Addressed on October 23 of the same year, attached on July 7, 1938) It seems that she has regarded her as a close family. Because he was involved in the preparation for the burial, he tossed and turned all night, "I fell asleep at 8 o'clock last night, but woke up at 12 o'clock this morning, and since then he opened his eyes to dawn. I wrote the tombstone of my chat, and I was disappointed!" (October 14, 1939) He was still busy recording his birth and death date in his diary to prevent forgetting. The ups and downs encountered by other disciples of the disciples always reminded him of Zheng Kan. Hou Renzhi was suddenly arrested and detained by the Japanese military police. After hearing the news, he was worried, worried that "I may not have any physiology now. If I am unlucky and have a lasting conclusion, it is really a great trauma to my future career, and I am still joking about the abandonment of my world" (June 8, 1942). Children's Book Industry was sensitive and suspicious because of mental illness, which made him helpless. "If the people I promoted were to be jealous, they would die." "Now, this is the case, and the heavens are just right to be jealous and miserable, and I am very sad!" (May 9, 1946) When young people such as Liu Kerang, Li Guangming, Zheng Fengyuan, etc. who thought of his "very eagerly hoped" were all "old in his life" like Zheng Kan, which made him "unmatched his grief" and shouted "this is all the losses of our country and mankind" (January 3, 1947). He also checked out the previously sponsored publications from time to time and reviewed the "Talking about the essays in "Popular Knowledge"" (August 18, 1941). In order to plan and edit the "Biography of Chinese Celebrities", he successively "Kan Kan's "Zi Chan Zhuan Zheng" written by Zi Chan" (September 9, 1945), "Kan Kan's "Fegong Ren" written by Fei Gong Ren" (September 21 of the same year), and "Kan Kan's "Gou Jian Zhuan Zhuan" written by Gou Jian Zhuan" (September 22 of the same year). Zhang Xiuya, who worked with Zheng Kan-chan in the editorial department of "Popular Knowledge", was "very willing to write", which immediately made him feel overjoyed, "and hoped that his ambition to continue Kan-chan became a popular Chinese history" (March 21, 1943). When Chen Maoheng (named Xi Chang), who had acquainted with Zheng Kansu, finally resumed the incident and won the first battle, he couldn't help but recall that Zheng Kansu's "Resuming Journey to the West" was "very vividly written and resonated with me." The biography of those historical figures "clear and smooth words, and the descriptions of the characters were vivid and vivid, which was highly praised by ordinary readers." She lamented that she "drunk south and died of illness in Hong Kong, which made me lose my best comrade and was extremely painful. The dream of writing the Romance of General History had to be temporarily interrupted" (Gu Jiegang's "Preface to the Romance of Ancient Chinese History", written by Chen Luchang, and revised the beginning of the volume of "Romance of Ancient Chinese History" by Gu Jiegang, Ping Xin and Zhang Danfeng, Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House, 1955), and was sad for a long time.
More than two years after Zheng Kan's death, Lian Shisheng remarried, and immediately fled to Vietnam with his family, and moved to Singapore a few years later. Lian Qiaosi, the daughter of Zheng Kanqing, was admitted to the Department of Biology at Peking University in 1955 and was assigned to work in Dezhou, Shandong after graduation. Gu Jiegang and the father and daughter have been in contact and have been repeatedly reciprocating. Lian Shisheng published the collection of prose "Southern Travel Collection" in 1955 (Nanyang Commercial Daily, 1955), and also asked Gu Jiegang to sign the title for him. There is an article in the book "Learning from Gu Jiegang", which recalls "From 1934 to 1937, my husband and I had a close relationship. I read the diary of his study days, I read his reading notes, and I have the opportunity to communicate and chat with him from time to time." Although it was not described in detail, there is no doubt that it was because of Zheng Kan-hyun that he was so trusted by Gu Jiegang.After that, Lian Shisheng sent works such as "Biography of Tagore" and "Miscellaneous Notes of Idle People" to Gu Jiegang (see Volume 2 of "The Signature Collection of Gu Jiegang's Old Collection" edited by Yu Guolin), and Gu also mentioned in his diary that "a brief reprint of Lian Shisheng's collection sent to him" (June 26, 1963), "seeing Lian Shisheng's "Collected Travels of the South" (October 28 and November 2 of the same year), "when I saw the "Miscellaneous Notes of Idle People" given by my deceased friend Lian Shisheng" (October 7, 1980), I couldn't help but see things and think about people when I was reading it.
Lian Shisheng
Lian Shisheng wrote "Southern Travel Collection"
When Gang met Zheng Kan's wife, Gu Jiegang once wrote a couplet for her as a commemoration (see the diary of June 13, 1933). After twenty years, he interpreted this in his diary. "I said in a couplet of jokes about my book: 'I don't know why jealousy is, but I look at the light to move forward.' I know that I am not the least jealous, I only want people to be good, but I don't want people to be bad. But ordinary people are not like me, and those who see people who have achieved success will exclude them. Sincerity cannot understand their intentions" (August 31, 1952). It can be seen that this is both an encouragement to Zheng's family and his own self-explanatory thoughts. Twenty years later, Gu Jiegang wrote this couplet again to gift to Lian Shisheng. The inscription was renamed "This couplet written by Comrade Shisheng forty years ago was lost during the war. Today I will reconcile it and ask for a memorial to memorize it." ("Inscriptions for Lian Shisheng", written in May 1973, and was compiled by Gu Chao in "A Supplementary Collection of Gu Jiegang", Zhonghua Book Company, 2021). When he was writing in the ink, he would surely see the past with sadness and joy, which aroused his sorrow and regret for Zheng Kan's father and his talent had not yet been fulfilled.
Compared with the famous Gu Jiegang in the elderly, Zheng Kanqing is just a fleeting and insignificant little person in modern academic history. Because of the chance of making up for her, Gu Jiegang accidentally discovered her rich potential; and because of her personal depression and depression emotional experience, Gu Jiegang fell in love with her as before. Zheng Kanqing is both conscientious and capable of acting as his right-hand assistant at work, and is also sincere in his life, becoming a confidant of the opposite sex in his life. Unfortunately, the cooperation between the two lasted only five years, and was forced to end because of frequent wars. Some of the completed works were not compiled and published in a timely manner. From then on, Zheng Kan-hyun was displaced and moved, and finally died with his ambitions. Gu Jiegang has always been obsessed with her last works. In his later years, he also mentioned, "When your mother was born, she was good at writing short stories in history. When she was in the 20s and 30s, she published many articles, in the "Ruihu" and "Yanda Monthly" published by Yanda and the "Ta Kung Pao·History Weekly" that were popular at that time", she reminded her to pay attention to the compilation and to seek publication at the time. "I am eighty years old and cannot walk and cannot do it myself. Every time I think about the deep friendship with your parents at that time, I can't bear to make this hope and proposal for you, and I don't know what you think?" ("To Lianqiao Si" on September 14, 1973, included in Gu Chao's "Additional Collection of Gu Jiegang") In that special era, this matter was of course impossible to start, and so it has been delayed to this day, and those works that were widely circulated gradually became less popular. So far, it seems that only "Selected Works of Chinese Celebrities in the 20th Century Children's Works by Sheng Yanghong: Historical Stories" (Guangxi National Publishing House, 1999) has selected a "Xie An" with a unique eye, proving that such works by Zheng Kanqing still have a long-lasting vitality. However, the book introduces the author's life in only 20 to 30 words, and the content is mostly missing and incorrect, which makes people sigh for a long time.
