Beiping is still the same Beiping, but Lin Zixuan is no longer the Lin Zixuan of the past.

This is said because Lin Zixuan's fame has become bigger and has received more attention, and the most obvious thing is everyone's attitude towards him.

When Lin Zixuan saw Liang Qichao for the first time, he was reprimanded, just like a teacher to a student, he explained a big truth, putting him and Xu Zhimo in the same position.

There is nothing wrong with doing this, he and Xu Zhimo are classmates, and they are juniors in front of Liang Qichao.

Regardless of whether there are differences in the concepts of the two sides, the etiquette cannot be abolished, and the lessons that should be listened to should still be heard, and respecting the elders is a Chinese tradition.

This time, although Liang Qichao still said a lot of big truths, he was much more amiable, and even asked Lin Zixuan's opinion from time to time, especially about Western society.

At this time, Liang Qichao was over 50 years old, with decades of ups and downs, and there was a sense of seeing through the vicissitudes of everything.

I think that their group of people went to the bus to write books back then, which opened the prelude to the reform and reform, and they were the progressive youth and reformers of that era.

Times have changed, decades have passed, and in the eyes of today's progressive youth, Liang Qichao has become an out-and-out conservative.

In the past few years, he has been running between Tianjin and Beiping, promoting traditional culture.

In 1918, Liang Qichao went to Europe to investigate, and after more than a year of observation, he came to a conclusion, he believed that Western civilization had gone bankrupt, and that the salvation of the world would depend on Eastern civilization, and advocated vigorously carrying forward traditional culture.

Thus, he went from being a critic of the old world to an advocate of the old traditions.

In this regard, he and Lin Zixuan have a common understanding.

He was willing to provide his own private collection of books for Lin Zixuan's use, whether it was printed or translated. As long as it is to promote traditional culture, he supports it.

Liang Qichao called Lin Zixuan mainly because of the problems of the Soviet Union.

He was a staunch Russophob, worried that Lin Zixuan was too young. I went to Soviet Russia and was assimilated by the Soviets, and I specially told him.

"I've lived so many years. I understand one thing, none of those Westerners really help us, they all have selfish intentions, and they always want to snatch something from us. Liang Qichao concluded, "Don't trust them, we still have to rely on ourselves." ”

Lin Zixuan nodded in agreement.

There is no love for no reason in this world, especially between countries, interests are the most important, but unfortunately many people can't understand it. Or they know it in their hearts but pretend to be confused.

He and Xu Zhimo left.

After the controversy over "uniting Russia and hating Russia" a few years ago, Xu Zhi became famous in the capital, but he became an enemy in the eyes of young people, and both the Crescent Society and the modern commentators were attacked.

The cultural atmosphere in Peking became more and more radical, and the liberal rhetoric he advocated was a bit out of place.

After the burning of the "Morning Post" newspaper building, Xu Zhimo was much calmer and more restrained, but he still insisted on his own opinions, and he talked to Lin Zixuan about what he had seen in the Soviet Union.

Xu Zhimo was worried that Lin Zixuan had been deceived by the visit arranged by the Soviets. After returning, he preached the successes of Soviet Russia and misled the youth.

Now Lin Zixuan's status in the cultural world is different, and the words he says have more weight and can affect more people.

The more so. The more cautious you are in your words and deeds.

If there are those who are anti-Russian, there are those who are united with Russia, and there are also people who come to see Lin Zixuan.

This person's name is Li Dazhao, and he studied in Japan in his early years. He studied at the Department of Political Science at Waseda University in Tokyo, and after returning to Japan in 1916, he became the director of the library and professor of economics at Peking University. Become a member of a new culture.

He was in early contact with the Great Revolution in Soviet Russia and wrote articles such as "The Victory of the Common People".

The significance of the October Revolution was systematically expounded. He eulogized the victory of the October Revolution and took a clear-cut stand in criticizing reformism.

He and Lin Zixuan talked about the significance of the Soviet Revolution to China, and believed that China could only get rid of imperialist oppression by following the revolutionary road of the Soviet Union.

Lin Zixuan found himself the focus of the two sides, and it seemed that this trip to Soviet Russia had a special significance.

This made him feel more pressured, and he actually wanted to accompany Feng Chengcheng to take a walk in Beiping, take a look, and live a leisurely two-person world.

It's just that the idea is a bit extravagant.

When he and Feng Chengcheng came to the hometown of Beiman Girls' School, where she used to study, they were pulled by the school to give a speech.

When he and Feng Chengcheng went to her former classmate's house as guests, Lin Zixuan undoubtedly became the protagonist.

He felt that he had stolen the limelight from his wife, but Feng Chengcheng didn't care about it, and seeing his husband being taken seriously was perhaps the happiest thing as a wife.

She also has a little vanity.

When they used to go to school in Beiping, Liang Qichao and Hu Shi were the objects of their admiration.

Now seeing these people courteous to their husbands and talking eloquently, I feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction in my heart.

Those little sisters in the old days, their fates are different, some are happy, some are down, which makes Feng Chengcheng feel that creation makes people feel emotional, and he confides in Lin Zixuan for a long time.

Lin Zixuan couldn't help but think of the class reunion in later generations, all kinds of comparisons and show-offs, which made people unbearable to look at directly.

The so-called class reunion is to exchange feelings, not to prove that you are better than other classmates.

Comparatively speaking, the human touch of this era is stronger, unlike the philistines of later generations, and the moral level of later generations is really not good to evaluate, and it can only be said that traditional culture has disappeared.

He met with Zhou Zuoren and talked about publishing a collection of essays abroad.

With the publication of the first set of new literary books, he had the confidence to have a great impact in China, although it was not a success.

Many scholars want to take advantage of Lin Zixuan's relationship and be able to shine abroad.

Therefore, this time Lin Zixuan was quite strong and asked all the translation work to be handed over to Vientiane Bookstore, which was worried about what happened to Lin Yutang last time.

Vientiane Book Company wants to set up a compilation office to recruit translation elites, and this series of books is just used as an examination question to assess the level of translators.

The relationship between Lin Zixuan and the Zhou brothers became more and more estranged, not only because of the conflict with the third Zhou Jianren, but also because of the controversy between "The Theory of the Present Commentary" and "The Silk of Words".

"Silk Words" is the territory of the Zhou brothers, and "Modern Review" is published by Vientiane Book Company, and Lin Zixuan finalizes it.

Both magazines are important journals of the new literature, and the polemics between them are not only personal contradictions, but also differences in literary concepts and political views.

Neither the Silk nor the Modern Review is revolutionary literature.

"Silk Language" advocates: "Talk arbitrarily, without scruples, to urge the creation of new, and to try to eliminate the old things that are harmful to the new." ”

Modern Review declared: "The spirit of this journal is independent and not affiliated with the Lord; The attitude of this journal is research, not attack; The remarks of this journal tend to focus on practical issues and are not empty talk. ”

In fact, both advocate "free" and "independent" creative attitudes, which is a polemic between intellectuals.

Lin Zixuan has always had an attitude of being right about things and not about people, and Zhou Zuoren's prose is really good, which is enough. (To be continued.) )
