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

Xiao Hong's Anti-Japanese War "Wild Cry" was completed at Sachiko Ikeda's house in January this year. She used to live in Jiangjin with Duanmu Yuliang, and at the end of last year moved to Chongqing to live with Sachiko Ikeda, where the two had recently rented a house in Huangjiaoshu, Chongqing.

That's right, Xiao Hong and Xiao Jun have broken up, and she is now a couple with Duanmu Yuliang.

The reason why Xiao broke up is very simple, Xiao Jun cheated several times and likes to beat people. After nearly ten years of separation, Xiao Hong finally made up her mind to break up, although this is not the first time they have broken up, but it is definitely the last.

When Xiao Hong and Duanmu Yuliang were together, they were already pregnant with Xiao Jun's child. According to Xiao Hong's own words, the child died at birth, but friends said that the child was healthy. As a result, many people in later generations speculated that Xiao Hong strangled her child to death, but some people thought that Xiao Hong gave the child away because no one had ever seen the baby's corpse.

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

"Teacher!"

"Mr. Zhou!"

Duanmu Yuliang, Xiao Hong, and Sachiko Ikeda greeted in unison.

"Teacher, this is Ms. Sachiko Ikeda, the wife of Mr. Kajiwataru, a well-known Japanese anti-war activist. ”

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

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

The couple had been campaigning against the war in Japan for more than a decade. In 1927, Lu Diwa was arrested by the Japanese government and imprisoned until 1935, when he was released from prison, and then went into exile with his wife in Shanghai, where he was close friends with Mrs. Sun, Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Feng Naichao and others.

Xiao Hong and Sachiko Ikeda and his wife also had a close relationship, and once they were hunted down by Japanese agents, and it was with Xiao Hong's help that they escaped from Shanghai.

Zhou Hexuan expressed his sincere respect: "Thank you very much to Ms. Ikeda and Tsunoo for everything they have done for the Chinese people. ”

Sachiko Ikeda said: "Peace is a common human pursuit, transcending borders and races, and my husband and I are just one of countless pacifists around the world." ”

Zhou Hexuan asked, "What about Mr. Ludi?" ”

Sachiko Ikeda said: "He was on the front line and engaged in the rebellion of the Japanese army. ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "If you need any help, please feel free to ask." ”

Sachiko Ikeda took out a copy of "The Goddess" and smiled: "Thank you Mr. Zhou for your kindness, you can sign this book, which is the greatest help to us, and Waiko is a big fan of Mr. Zhou." ”

Zhou Hexuan immediately turned the title page and wrote with a pen: I would like to present my good friends of the Chinese people, Shikaji Wataru and Sachiko Ikeda, wishing you good health. Zhou Hexuan. June 26, 1939.

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

Duanmu Yuliang also took out a book: "Please ask the teacher to correct it." ”

This book is Duanmu Yuliang's "Horqin Banner Grassland", Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Finally published? ”

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

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

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

Zhou Hexuan blamed and said: "I have been in Chongqing for so long, and I haven't come to the teacher's house to see? ”

Duanmu Yuliang explained: "We live with Shu Qun, Bai Lang, Luo Feng, Kong Luosun and other writers in exile in Northeast China, and we have common topics and can discuss literary creations with each other. ”

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

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

As soon as he heard that it was "Xinhua Daily", Zhou Hexuan did not continue to ask, but only advised: "Protect yourself and pay attention to the Kuomintang spies." ”

"We'll be on the safe side." Duanmu Yuliang said.

Zhou Hexuan thought about it carefully and said, "I built a high-end apartment at the intersection of Lianglukou, and there are still a few empty rooms that have not been rented out. It's so close to the bomb shelter that you don't have to travel too far to avoid the bombing. ”

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

Others don't appreciate it, and Zhou Hexuan doesn't bother to say anything, he just wants to avoid regrets.

Historically, Xiao Hong lived well in Chongqing, but because she was weak and sick, she couldn't stand the back and forth of running to the air-raid shelter, so she moved to Hong Kong with Duanmu Yuliang, but was misdiagnosed and died by a quack doctor.

But from another point of view, if Xiao Hong didn't go to Hong Kong, he might not be able to write "The Biography of the Hulan River". The tranquil and beautiful creative environment of Hong Kong completely stimulated her creative enthusiasm, and those two years were the pinnacle of Xiao Hong's literary life, and writing was as easy as a hen laying eggs.

Xiao Hong's personality is very enthusiastic and lively, perhaps embarrassed because she rejected Zhou Hexuan, she quickly changed the topic and said: "By the way, Mr. Zhou, Ms. Ding Ling asked me to say hello to you on her behalf, and thank you for your help to her and the organization." ”

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

Xiao Hong said: "Last year we joined the Northwest Field Service Corps in Xi'an, and she said that Mr. Zhou was a true and pure patriot. As she spoke, Xiao Hong suddenly laughed, "Mr. Zhou, do you know when I first met you in person?" ”

"We've seen each other before?" Zhou Hexuan didn't remember.

Xiao Hong smiled: "I've seen you, you haven't seen me." At that time, when you returned to China with Mr. Einstein, countless students from Peking came to the station to greet you, and I stood in the crowd. ”

Zhou Hexuan laughed: "I didn't expect that we have known each other for almost ten years, hello old friends." ”

Duanmu Yuliang interjected: "At that time, I was still studying in Nankai Middle School. ”

Xiao Hong saw that Sachiko Ikeda had not spoken, and was afraid of snubbing her, so she began to talk about the topic again: "When did Ms. Ikeda meet Mr. Shikachi?" ”

Sachiko Ikeda says: "He has been a well-known Japanese writer for a long time, and I was a fan of his books before I met him through his writing. ”

Xiao Hong also said to Zhou Hexuan: "Ms. Ikeda and Mr. Lu Xun also discussed Mr. Zhou's works together. ”

Sachiko Ikeda said, "Yes, my grandson was there at the time, and Mr. Uchiyama was there. I still remember Mr. Lu Xun's evaluation of "The Goddess", he said: This book is the essence of the Chinese literary scene in the 20s, and in the future, when I study the history of Chinese literature, I can only mention one copy of "The Goddess" in the entire 20s. ”

Zhou Hexuan waved his hand again and again: "Mr. Lu Xun is too famous." ”

Xiao Hong smiled and imitated Lu Xun's tone, his fingers were pinched to make a smoke, and said: "Zhou Mingcheng is a good person, everything is good, but the biggest disadvantage is that he can't drink bean juice." ”

"Hahahaha......" Duanmu Yuliang couldn't stop laughing next to him, as if this sentence had poked his laughing nerve.
