Once Yang Jiang and Qian Zhongshu whimsical chat:
"Give you a magic weapon of immortals, what do you want?"
As a result, both of them want Invisibility Clothes .
Why do you need an invisibility cloak? Because this world is not simple at all, and it is not only not simple, but also too complicated.
You deliberately be an honest person. People bully you and use you. You are a little slick, and they say you are versatile, you are a little talented, and there are a lot of people who are jealous of you.
In short, sometimes you give in and others are getting more and more demanding, do you want to be in a peaceful way? That's simple. You not only have to be strong inside, but also have enough strength to make others dare not fight against you.
But if you have an invisible jacket, then when you wear an invisible jacket, others will not see you and will not disturb you. Then you can do whatever you want, of course, you cannot do evil.
" We each put on one piece and went out for an invitation to travel together. We only want to get rid of the constraints and experience everywhere, and do not want to do evil. "
Many years later, Mr. Yang Jiang is 100 years old. At this time, she is so strong that she doesn't need an invisibility cloak.
In her speech at the age of 100, she said: We had longed for the waves of fate so much, but in the end we realized that the most graceful scenery in life is actually the calmness and calmness in our hearts; we had so much anticipated the recognition from the outside world, but in the end we realized that the world belongs to our own and has nothing to do with others.

Most of the talented women from the Republic of China have outstanding families.
For example, Zhang Ailing . The Zhang family is a wealthy family and has a close relationship with Qing Dynasty powerful Li Hongzhang . For example, Lin Huiyin . If the Lin family was not rich, Lin Huiyin could not travel around the countries with his father at a young age.
is also Yang Jiang. Although the Yang family is not a wealthy businessman, it is a real scholarly family. Don’t underestimate the role of the fragrance of books. Without the influence of the fragrance of books, talented women cannot become talented women.
Yang Jiang's father Yang Yinhang , Waseda University , graduated from Japan, and later studied University of Pennsylvania, USA, and his master's thesis was included in the university's law series.
When Yang Jiang was born, his father was already a famous lawyer at the time.
Both Yang Yinhang and his wife like to read. In addition to studying, Yang Yinhang also wrote, and wrote "Famous Learning" and "Logics" and "Logics" to be passed down in later generations. They are truly top stars in the cultural world.
My mother is also a well-educated lady with a gentle personality, she does everything she wants and never becomes impatient.
1911, Yang Yinhang's family lived in a rented yard in Beijing, and Yang Jiang was born in this rented yard.
When she was born, her father and mother liked it very much, especially her father, who treated Yang Jiang as a treasure.
People in troubled times are floating everywhere, floating around, and Yang Jiang is gradually growing up. At the age of six, he started to go to elementary school and became a restless elementary school student in the school.
Sometimes she is naughty and blows a small ball of pomrose in class. She laughs at herself while blowing. The teacher is angry when she finds the movement, so she asks her to stand up and answer the question, wanting to take the opportunity to give her some color, but Yang Jiang answers the question accurately.
When Yang Jiang was eight years old, she followed her father back to her hometown Wuxi .
Jiangnan is a poetic place. In the yard with pink walls and black tiles, time and people gradually pass by. In Yang Yinhang's heart, Men and women are equal. All children, both men and women, must receive the best education. He always thinks that the Qiming Girls' School in Shanghai has the best teaching quality, and he wants Yang Jiang to study there.
But at that time, Yang Jiang was actually only over eight years old. He wanted his daughter to receive the best education, but he felt sorry for her. He had to leave home to live on campus when he went to school.
So Yang Jiang lets her choose.
Aji (Yang Jiang) is young, but she understands her father's ideas, so she wants to go.
That day, her mother asked her, "Have you made up your mind?"
She said, "I'm done."
Although she said that, tears still flowed out. She knew in her heart that this time, she could only come back during the summer vacation.
Birds are in groups, and eagles must spread their wings and fly high. All the distances can only go to the place themselves.
02
At the age when it is easiest to learn well and the easiest to learn bad things, Aji is lucky because his father is an enlightened person. He did not use traditional things to bind her, but taught her to choose freely and be responsible for her life.
Yang Yinhang is a person who will strictly demand himself. He wants a "good person" he wants to be. He firmly opposes a life with a high level of life but a low personality.
Once, he took Aji sisters to a friend's house. On the way back, Aji three sisters were still lamenting the luxury of the family's life. Yang Yinhang heard it and replied indifferently: "The level of life cannot be too high."
With such a father, the smart Aji can naturally learn a lot and know a lot of truths.
And the father always needs to love this smart and well-behaved daughter.
After lunch, everyone left, and my father called Aji: "Actually, I like to be with me, but I just don't say anything." Since then, Aji has become the child who can stay with her father for lunch. When her father rests, she reads quietly on the side. Sometimes her father writes, and Aji just watches, and then picks up her father's brush to practice calligraphy.
Time passes day by day, and people are growing up day by day. Under the influence of his father, Yang Jiang likes reading more and more.
Later, one time, the father and daughter chatted, and the father asked her, "Aji, how are you doing if you don't let you read for three days?"
Yang Jiang replied without hesitation: "It's not easy."
"Will you not let you read for a week?"
"Will you not let you read for a week?" html l8
"After a week of vain."
After hearing his daughter's answer, Yang Yinhang smiled and said, "I am the same."
03
When he was sixteen, Yang Jiang entered Zhenhua Girls' School to study in middle school.
It was an era of smoke, and even schools became another battlefield. When born in such an environment, Aji would naturally be affected.
Once, Aji was elected as a student representative and needed to give a speech on the street, calling on people to carry out a revolution, but she did not want to participate in this event. The school also has regulations that as long as the family does not agree, she can not participate.
After returning home, Yang Jiang hoped that her father would come forward and say she would not agree to her going, so she would not go.
but Yang Yinhang refused.
He said, "If you don't want to, don't go, don't lend me dad to block it."
She was still very worried: "No, the minority must obey the majority."
Yang Yinhang continued to say seriously: "If you should obey, obey; if you have reason, you can also say it. Whether you go or not." For this reason, he talked about his experience and said to Aji: "Do you know what Lincoln said? Dare to say no! Do you dare?"
She said, "Dare."
The next day, Yang Jiang came to school and said her thoughts directly: "I don't agree, I won't go."
What her father taught her not only was the guidance of the soul, but also the courage to face difficulties.
When I arrived in high school, Yang Jiang couldn't tell the difference between the tone. His father did not talk about her, but comforted her and said, "It doesn't matter, it will be done when the time comes, and it will come naturally. After a while, Yang Jiang will do it."
Sometimes when Yang Jiang studied, her father would walk to the corridor, stand outside the window to test her, pointing to a word for her to read. If she read it correctly, her father laughed, if she read it wrong, her father would laugh too.
Yang Jiang likes to read, and Yang Yinhang often buys some books for Yang Jiang. After buying them, he puts them on Yang Jiang's desk in person. If he sees her not reading for a long time, the book will disappear. Once she finds that the book is gone, she will know what's going on. Although her father doesn't say it, Yang Jiang has learned to read, and she will never say that she likes it, nor will she promise to read any books. She must do what she says. If you read more books on
, your heart will naturally be calmer. In high school, the teacher Chinese finished speaking the poem and asked the students to write poems too.
Yang Jiang wrote:
"Everyone is for profit, and disturbance is like fighting for deer. How can you travel here and be free from the world."
Teacher criticized " Fairy Child is quiet."
The world is bustling with people, and most of them are profitable. Only by not being bound by fame and fortune can you truly be free.
When choosing a major in college, the teacher thought Yang Jiang was suitable for science, but she actually liked literature in her heart.
She asked her father: "What should I learn?"
The father said: "There is nothing to do or not, learn whatever you like the most."
Faced with such an answer, she was still a little uneasy, so she continued to ask: "Is it right to just ask my own love? I like literature, learn literature? I love reading novels, learn novels?"
"What I like is the closeness of my nature, which is what I like most." Yang Yinhang continued to enlighten her.
From beginning to end, Yang Yinhang did not tell his daughter what to choose. He wanted his daughter to make his own choice and live the way he liked.
In this world, some people follow the guidance of interests, some follow the evaluation of others, and some follow the voice of their hearts.
Yang Jiang chose to listen to her inner voice. She wanted to be the person she wanted to be, not the person others expected.
04
When she was in Soochow University until her third year, Yang Jiang had an opportunity to study abroad, and she gave up. The reason why she gave up
is because she considered her parents, and on the other hand, she actually because she has always had a Tsinghua dream and wanted to go to Tinghua to study literature major, so she decided to take the Tsinghua Research Institute.
At that time, there were many masters in Tsinghua University, including Wang Wenxian, Wu Mi, Liang Zongdai, , Zhu Ziqing, and a large number of people.
When Yang Jiang first entered Tsinghua University, he was appreciated by Liang Zongdai.
Liang Zongdai taught French. In the first class, Yang Jiang's answer surprised the teacher, so he asked her, how did she learn French? Yang Jiang replied: "Study by yourself."
Tsinghua is the beginning of Yang Jiang's journey further away. Here, she also met a person who had to write about Yang Jiang - Qian Zhongshu.
Yang Jiang is a very likable girl. Her roommate summarized five conditions that are very popular among boys:
1. Good appearance
2. Young
3. Good homework
4. Healthy
5. Good family
5. With these conditions, there will naturally be no fewer people who pursue it, and there are also many love letters. There is also a rumored boyfriend Fei Xiaotong , but she never expressed anything until Qian Zhongshu appeared.
Yang Jiang and Qian Zhongshu fell in love at first sight. Since they met Yang Jiang once, Qian Zhongshu has been obsessed with it. He wrote a letter to Yang Jiang and asked her to come out to meet.
Yang Jiang naturally has a good impression of this famous talent at Tsinghua University. They met in the I-character hall. When they first said that when they met, Qian Zhongshu said, "I'm not engaged."
Yang Jiang said, "I don't have a boyfriend."
The two said it almost at the same time. This can only be said that fate is so magical. Some people meet for the first time and will be for life.
Later, Qian Zhongshu wrote to Yang Jiang almost a day, but Yang Jiang didn't reply much. Qian Zhongshu asked her why, and she only replied that she didn't like to write letters.
Qian Zhongshu is extremely arrogant at Tsinghua University, but Yang Jiang is also famous for being talented at Tsinghua University.
At that time, Mr. Zhu Ziqing was still in Tsinghua University, and Yang Jiang took his prose practice class. In the first lesson, Zhu Ziqing asked everyone to write an article called "Collection of Footprints".
That time, Yang Jiang's article was praised by Zhu Ziqing and recommended it to Shen Congwen , editor of "Ta Kung Pao·Literary Supplement". After the article
was published, Ta Kung Pao also gave Yang Jiang 5 yuan in royalties. Afterwards, Zhu Ziqing recommended another novel of her to publish.
Yang Jiang has achieved remarkable achievements in translation, writing, and drama throughout her life. Even Qian Zhongshu praised the prose she wrote.
05
1935, Qian Zhongshu finished his domestic service and successfully obtained a quota for studying abroad.
and Yang Jiang has not graduated from Tsinghua Research Institute.
However, for the sake of Qian Zhongshu, she resolutely chose to leave school because she knew this talented man so well. Although she was a genius, she was incomparable stupid in front of life.
"He doesn't know how to tie the butterfly buckles of shoelaces, and even can't tell the left and right feet when wearing shoes, and he doesn't understand the chopsticks very well. He is not as handsome as "doing knowledge", like a child who doesn't know anything."
The parents also support Yang Jiang's decision.
Although Qian Zhongshu is clumsy, he has always been very attentive to Yang Jiang.
On the first day of moving to the new home, Yang Jiang prepared a hearty breakfast, with butter, jam, honey, and the best sunshine.
No one is born to live, everyone has to study before they can live a good life. Yang Jiang is, and so is Qian Zhongshu.
Days abroad, although the economy is limited, they have managed it well. has you, me, love, and warmth.
Not long after he arrived abroad, Yang Jiang became pregnant. Qian Zhongshu said: "I don't want a son, I want a daughter--just one, like yours." Yang Jiang smiled, and didn't say anything, but said in her heart: "I hope my daughter is like you."
When they were about to give birth, they rushed to the hospital. The doctor asked if she had to have a female doctor. Qian Zhongshu said: "I want the best"
On May 19, 1937, Yang Jiang finally gave birth to a girl, and this girl was A Yuan.
During the "confinement period", Qian Zhongshu was alone at home and various situations occurred.
He ran to the hospital and said to Yang Jiang: "I did something bad, knocked over the ink bottle, dyed the landlord's tablecloth"
Yang Jiang replied: "It doesn't matter, I can wash it"
"I did something bad, I broke the desk lamp";
"It doesn't matter, I can fix it"
"I did something bad, and one of the balls at both ends of the door shaft fell, and the door could not be closed. "
"It doesn't matter, I can fix it"
"It doesn't matter, but as long as you hear Yang Jiang say "it doesn't matter", Qian Zhongshu will feel at ease.
After Yang Jiang returned home, the tablecloth was cleaned, the desk lamp was repaired, and the door was repaired. This home is another perfect home.
06
Once, Yang Jiang read a sentence about marriage and read it to Qian Zhongshu:
Before I saw her, I never thought of getting married. I married her for decades, never regretted marrying her, and never thought of marrying another woman.
After listening, Qian Zhongshu immediately said to Yang Jiang, "I am the same as him."
Yang Jiang also said, "I am the same."
In foreign countries, both of them are bookworms, so reading is the food you need most. You can read books anytime and anywhere, and there are endless books to read. Basically, they spend all their spare time reading.
often borrows a lot of books, such as literature, philosophy, psychology, history, and find a fixed position and read it desperately.
Yang Jiang is a student. There is no fixed course arrangement, so she arranged a detailed reading list for herself.
Occasionally went out for a walk, and as he walked around, he walked into the bookstore and started reading in front of the bookshelf.
The two returned home and continued to read.
Later, Qian Yuan had to be distracted to take care of her children, reading was still the main content of life.
"We read books, and she quietly played with painting books by herself. Sometimes the old lady opposite the door carried her over to play. We bought a cart and pushed her out every day."
When she was abroad, Yang Jiang also wrote and wrote many beautiful articles.
In 1942, Chen Linrui said to Yang Jiang: Why don’t you write a script too?
Yang Jiang decided to give it a try, so the drama "Satisfaction". After the script is finished, the script will be given to Chen Linrui first, so he wants him to "guid" it.
After reading it, Chen Linrui said, "Your script is too long to do one-act drama, and it is too short to do multi-act drama, and it is not enough content, so you have to rewritten it."
carefully referred to this suggestion and she rewritten the script.
Chen Linrui finished reading the revised script and said, "This time it's OK."
"Satisfied" performed in 1943 and won praise. It is also this script that she used the pseudonym Yang Jiang.
Since then, her drama works have been released continuously, and "Fake Fakes and Real" has achieved unprecedented success. The name Yang Jiang is also known by more and more people, and many college students and drama lovers even regard Yang Jiang as their idol.
She appeared with Qian Zhongshu, and people always introduced her first, while Qian Zhongshu was introduced as "This is Yang Jiang's gentleman".
Later, Qian Zhongshu told Yang Jiang that he wanted to write a novel, and Yang Jiang was very happy to hear it.
In order to let Qian Zhongshu concentrate on his creation, Yang Jiang personally took care of everything at home.
" I am an amateur who chops firewood to cook and cooks rice and washes. I often dye the soot into a flowery face, or smokes the eyes full of tears, or burns the boiling oil to make a bubble, or cuts my fingers. But I am eager to read Zhong Shu to write " Besieged City ", and I am willing to be a maid under the stove." "
"Besieged City" creation is not fast, about 500 words a day. Every time I finish writing, Qian Zhongshu will first show Yang Jiang the manuscript, let Yang Jiang be the first reader.
Every time Yang Jiang looked at him, he would stare at Yang Jiang, as nervous as a child.
After the manuscript of "The Siege", Li Jianwu couldn't help but sigh: , a scholarly bookworm, wrote novels? And it is a satirical work, a "new Scholars"!
"The Siege" became popular. When the two of them appeared together, they said, "This is Qian Zhongshu's wife."
No matter what, the two of them have always been evenly matched and walked side by side.
They will not be jealous of each other's achievements, nor will they feel superior because of their achievements.
07
For real scholars, the world is simple, but this real world is often much more complicated. During the "Intellectual Ideological Transformation", although Yang Jiang was well-behaved, she was not spared.
Some students jumped out and said:
"Mr. Yang Jikang does not talk about workers in class, but specializes in dating. "
" Mr. Yang Jikang taught us that in love, we should not eat or sleep. "
" Mr. Yang Jikang taught us that when we meet lovers, we should have white faces and weak legs. "
" Mr. Yang Jikang even taught us that women who have been married should also fall in love."
This female classmate said Yang Jiang's "crime" indignation, but in fact, this female student is not Yang Jiang's student, and Yang Jiang has never talked about these things in class.
She pretended not to hear this situation and was calm.
After returning home, she thought, "If I were a delicate woman, what kind of face would I have to see people? I had to close the door and hang myself!"
The next day, she went out wearing a festive dress.
However, at a criticism meeting not long later, Yang Jiang's name was specially pointed out, and it was finally published in " People's Daily ".
Yang Jiang said after seeing it:
Those who know me know me anyway, if you don’t know, just think about it, in life, grievances are inevitable.
With the beginning of the major adjustment of intellectuals, Yang Jiang and Qian Zhongshu were arranged to the Institute of Literature of Tsinghua University and became researchers.
After work, I read and write at home. The world is very chaotic, and they are looking for purity themselves.
Qian Zhongshu teaches Yang Jiang to write and assign homework every day, and must be completed on time. He will also carefully correct the situation. He will mark it with a pen on it wherever it is good and where it needs improvement.
Yang Jiang attaches great importance to Qian Zhongshu's comments. If the evaluation is high, he will be very happy. Qian Zhongshu understands her thoughts and deliberately does not give so many good reviews, so he will choose the bad ones to write.
However, many things cannot be changed by someone. Even though you close the door, they will still pry open your door.
1966, Yang Jiang and Qian Zhongshu were supervised one after another, their wages were gone, their deposits were frozen, and they had to be criticized every day.
is not counted as being criticized, but maybe you will be beaten and you will have to be punished.
Yang Jiang was shaved with her Yin-Yang head. She couldn't go out with such a head, but she didn't have a hat, and she couldn't wrap her headscarf in the summer. Qian Zhongshu was so anxious that she comforted him, and Yang Jiang went in turn and said, "The soldiers came to block the water and the soil."
Finally, she really thought of a way, and made herself a wig cover for , and took her out the next day, but it didn't end there. When others saw her wearing a wig, they grabbed her wig directly, and even bought vegetables, she didn't dare to go.
Yang Jiang’s job is to clean the toilet. Every day, Yang Jiang cleans the toilet cleanly and spotlessly, and returns it to strangers she has never known.
08
1969, Qian Zhongshu was arranged to study at a cadre school.
In fact, the so-called cadre school is to go to work and exercise. After going there, the two of them don’t know when they will meet.
But after a period of time, Yang Jiang also got off the cadre school. On the eve of leaving the cadre school, her son-in-law was forced to commit suicide.
Immediately afterwards, my sister also died of illness, and disaster never came singularly. Under such a blow, this little woman in her fifties was also shaking.
went to the cadre school. Yang Jiang's job was to guard the vegetable field, while Qian Zhongshu's job was to check things, patrol nights, and occasionally send letters, which gave Qian Zhongshu the opportunity to meet Yang Jiang.
Every time he would walk through the vegetable field that Yang Jiang was guarding and gather with Yang Jiang by the field.
"We old couples can often meet in the vegetable garden, which is far better than the back garden in old novels and dramas to meet their lovers privately."
It was not until 1972 that our cadre school life ended.
Yang Jiang is a writer and a translator. In order to translate " Don Quixote ", she taught herself Spanish .
In 1966, three-quarters of the content of " Don Quixote " had been completed, but because of the Cultural Revolution, this "Don Quixote" was taken away as a black manuscript.
Later, when she was arranged to clean the women's bathroom, she tried to search for her manuscripts every day. Once, while cleaning the pile of waste paper, she actually saw her "Don Quixote".
She hugged her tightly in her arms with excitement, but was found.
The man asked her loudly: " Yang Jikang , what are you going to do?"
Yang Jiang said: "This is my manuscript!"
" is your manuscript, but you can't take it away now. When it comes, I will return it to you."
The trend of ideological transformation gradually faded, and everything became calm. Yang Jiang asked to find her manuscript, and the next day, she really got her manuscript.
"Don Quixote" was able to go home and was released in 1978.
In 1979, the "Don Quixote" translated by Yang Jiang was given to the King of Spain as a state gift. In 1986, the King of Spain awarded Yang Jiang a "Sharing King Alfonso X Cross Medal".
In that era of suffering, someone asked her if she regretted staying in China? She said: "There is nothing regrets. People are not necessarily alive for the sake of enjoying their lives. "
09
1977, the darkness dissipated and the light came, and Yang Jiang and his wife also had a new residence.
That is the dormitory allocated by the state.
Someone asked Yang Jiang: Is the house enough to live in?
She said: Is it not as good as this?
Two book-boy houses, there are many trees, the study room is not enough, and the living room has become a study room.
"The Siege" is in the heat of Qian Zhongshu's readers. Many people even visited them, but they were willing to keep their purity.
Old naughty Huang Yongyu Back to Xiangxi , brought them local specialties, and left at the door, never knocking on their door.
Someone came to visit, and Yang Jiang refused directly at the door.
On March 4, 1997, the only daughter A Yuan left them.
At that time, Qian Zhongshu was also ill and hospitalized. Yang Jiang did not tell Qian Zhongshu about A Yuan leaving, for fear that he could not bear it.
0 On the day A Yuan was cremated, Yang Jiang did not go, she needed to go to the hospital to take care of Qian Zhongshu.
Next to Qian Yuan's smiling portrait, a delicate flower basket was placed, with only a few numbers: Yuanyuan's beloved daughter rest in peace! Mom and Daddy.
In December 1998, Qian Zhongshu passed away.
Before he passed away, the last sentence he left to Yang Jiang was: "Life well."
The daughter left, her husband left, leaving Yang Jiang alone to clean the turbulent battlefield.
10
At this time, Yang Jiang was already in her eighties. Her daughter and husband passed away one after another. She was exhausted.
However, the dead should rest in peace, the living should continue. She still had to continue cleaning the battlefield and do what she promised Qian Zhongshu - to live a good life.
After that, Yang Jiang lived in simplicity and quietly read, wrote, and sorted out Qian Zhongshu's collection of essays at home.
1999, she wrote the philosophical work "Feddo".
2000, the literary work " From Bingwu to Exile " was published.
In 2001, Yang Jiang made a decision:
She donated all the royalties and royalties of the couple to Tsinghua University , and set up a "good reading" reward fund. She rarely went out and attended the donation ceremony of the "good reading" scholarship, and donated 720,000 yuan in royalties and the remuneration for future publications. When
delivered a speech, the host signaled that she could sit and say, but she said, "I am small and I want to stand up and say."
" This time, I spoke on behalf of three people, representing myself, the deceased Qian Zhongshu and my daughter Qian Yuan ..."
In 2002, " The Three Us " was finalized, and it became a bestseller after it was published, making people cry when they read it.
In 2007, "Walking on the Edge of Life - Questioning and Answering" was published.
In 2011, Yang Jiang was one hundred years old.
people will always have an ending in their lives. Some people bury their souls at the age of 28, and some people will live forever even if they die for a long time.
In the last few years, Mr. Yang Jiang always said: "Mr. Qian and Ayuan have gone, and my path has been completed."
On May 25, 2016, she cleaned the battlefield of her life and left.
What stayed behind are works with more than 2.5 million words, including "Walking on the Side of Life", "We Three", "Six Records of the Cadre School", and translated works "Don Quixote" and "Phaedo".
11
Yang Jiang once translated a poem by the British poet Rand:
"I don't fight with anyone,
I don't care about anyone;
I love nature ,
followed by art;
I roasted the fire of life with both hands to keep warm;
The fire is shriveled, and I am ready to leave! "
I think this poem is her life, and I don't want to fight with anyone, and I don't want to fight with anyone.
But because it is not competitive, it is the strongest.
