In this article, Xu Zhimo recalls his life with Lin Zixuan in New York.

Columbia University is located in Manhattan, New York, which is the most prosperous urban area in New York, not only the financial center of Wall Street, but also the art district Broadway, and other commercial buildings.

It can be said that international students at Columbia University can easily fall into that kind of drunken environment.

During that time, Lin Zixuan went to the theater to watch dramas, watch movies, and go in and out of entertainment venues, living a Western way of life and advocating Western culture and systems.

It may have been a kind of loss at the time, but from the current point of view, this should be the source of Lin Zixuan's literary creation.

Xu Zhimo believes that it was his life during that period that gave Lin Zixuan a deep understanding of American culture, so as to create Western-style novels, and it was during that time that he watched a lot of dramas to write scripts such as "Sunrise".

Broadway is the art center of the United States, and Lin Zixuan absorbed nutrients in it, which is the basis of his work.

Therefore, if there was no Lin Zixuan who was lost during that time, there would be no Lin Zixuan who later shined in the field of new literature, which was an inseparable part of Lin Zixuan.

Of course, after describing his deep friendship with Lin Zixuan, Xu Zhimo also mentioned his experience in the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as the celebrities he befriended.

Lin Zixuan was very satisfied after reading it, he didn't expect to be so whitewashed.

In this way, that period of black history has become the source of his writing and the capital of his pride.

Learned people are different, and this is worth learning.

Moreover, it feels very good to have a little brother who is waving the flag and shouting, no wonder there are a group of people around Lu Xun and Hu Shi.

Once there is a debate, I don't come forward first, let the younger brothers charge forward, and at a critical moment, I will issue a fatal blow, which is the style of being a big brother.

Lin Zixuan even had the urge to make the Crescent Society bigger and stronger.

What literary research society, what creation society, what language silk society, all the way to the past, only I crescent, martial arts king.

Well, it's just a cranky thing in his mind.

He has little interest in running a literary group.

What's more, the membership of the Crescent Society is complicated, mainly poets, and many of them are members of the Literary Research Society, both in terms of literary ideas and political tendencies, and it is a miracle that they can persist.

I have to say that Xu Zhimo played a vital role in it.

Later, with the sudden death of Xu Zhimo, the Crescent Society was soon disbanded.

Lin Zixuan has no intention of meddling in the Crescent Society, so it's good, he usually doesn't ask, and when he has something, he still helps the little brother cheer, so let Xu Zhimo do his work.

On November 29, 1922, Lin Zixuan drove to Shanghai Zhongxi Girls' School, where he wanted to take Lin Xiaoling and Ruan Lingyu home.

The Chinese and Western Girls' School implements a boarding system, with one day off at the end of each month.

This is to cultivate the ability of these ladies to live independently, there are no servants in the girls' school, and they have to do the quilt folding and cleaning by themselves.

The time to eat is fixed, and you can't sleep lazy, otherwise you will be reprimanded or even expelled.

Once she was expelled from the Chinese and Western Girls' School, her reputation was not good.

In addition to Chinese, politics, mathematics, physical education, foreign language learning French and English, there are also some elective courses, such as piano, oil painting, home economics, embroidery, etc.

The purpose of the girls' school is to cultivate women's ability to live independently and socialize in an all-round way, so that they can adapt to the life of the upper class.

Lin Zixuan drove to the school gate and found a long row of cars parked at the gate, and many rickshaws were far away.

This is a scenery of the Chinese and Western Girls' School every month, and the students here are either rich or noble, and all of them are from extraordinary backgrounds.

"At that time, the more than 30 students in the class were all women from prominent families in Shanghai, and every time the students went home once a month, there would be a long queue of cars at the school gate; As for the students with Zhang Ailing's family background in the class, she is still relatively humble, she is very thin, not good-looking, very civilized, dressed very plainly, and studies very hard, the teacher likes Zhang Ailing very much. ”

These are the memories of a young lady from a large family who studied at St. Mary's Girls' School in Shanghai.

With Zhang Ailing's family background, the students in this school are also described as "humble".

Zhang Ailing was born in a famous family, her grandfather Zhang Peilun was a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, her grandmother Li Chengjiao was the eldest daughter of Li Hongzhang, an important minister of the imperial court, her father was the English secretary of the Tianjin Jinpu Railway Bureau, and her mother was also prominent.

However, when Zhang Ailing was born, the family declined, and although she went to a noble girls' school, she was still looked down upon.

It can be seen from this what kind of existence the aristocratic girls' school in Shanghai is.

Lin Xiaoling has no good impression of the aristocratic girls' school, she is at the age of playfulness, if she wasn't locked up in the girls' school, she would have run out to play crazy, and finally waited for the monthly holiday, she couldn't wait.

However, she didn't dare to be presumptuous at school, otherwise she would be punished by the grandmothers.

These girls packed up their things in a proper manner, strained their faces, couldn't laugh out loud, and looked very ladylike, one by one lined up to the school gate, waiting for the school gate to open.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the gatekeeper came with the key and opened the school gate.

The girls, who had been pretending to be ladies, began to speed up, and smiles spread across their faces, as if they had been released from a cage.

Lin Xiaoling took Ruan Lingyu's hand and ran in the direction of Lin Zixuan, shouting loudly as she ran, attracting the sideways glances of other girls, this Xiaoling didn't even bother to pretend for this time, and she would definitely be criticized by the grandmothers next month.

There is a reason why Lin Xiaoling is so excited.

Lin Zixuan once told her that the radio station would be able to broadcast to the whole of Shanghai tonight, and her brother gave her a chance to make the first broadcast on the radio.

This is China's first radio station, and she Lin Xiaoling will say the first sentence, and she can't sleep with excitement just thinking about it.

got into the car, Lin Xiaoling urged, and Ruan Lingyu next to her was quite envious.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the Vientiane Bookstore, where a room was crowded with many people, including foreigners who had debugged equipment, as well as newspaper employees and reporters.

They waited in this broadcast studio to witness this historic moment together.

Everything was ready, Lin Xiaoling couldn't help but be a little nervous, looking at the manuscript in her hand, she felt that the tongue in her mouth was a little stiff, and Lin Zixuan gave her a comforting smile.

At six o'clock, the machine was turned on and the equipment was running normally.

Lin Xiaoling calmed down her mood, took a deep breath, and read the manuscript.

"Hello listeners and friends in Shanghai, Shanghai Vientiane Radio has started broadcasting to everyone."
