The armed uprising in Shanghai was a matter of great secrecy, and Lin Zixuan was able to be warned in advance about his network.

He himself is in the publishing industry, owns newspapers and magazines, recruits many reporters, and forms his own news channel.

He also had a good relationship with the major newspapers in Shanghai, and whenever there was any dangerous or unfavorable news for him, he would be notified.

This is a normal source.

Feng Jingyao controlled the underground forces in the French Concession in Shanghai, and there were figures from the three sects and nine streams, and he was well-informed.

Even if a foreigner behaves unusually, he can't hide it from his ears and eyes.

With such a network, in Shanghai, Lin Zixuan can generally inquire about what news he wants.

He was able to survive the offence of the Soviet Union and Japan, and in addition to the fact that he was so famous that his opponents were afraid of him, his connections played a great role.

At least Feng Jingyao won't watch his son-in-law die.

Once Lin Zixuan is in danger, this gang boss will definitely tell him, and even arrange for Lin Zixuan to run away.

It can be said that as long as Lin Zixuan is in Shanghai, as long as he does not send troops to encircle and suppress him, he will be safe.

This time he was reminded of another force, the faction in the Nationalist government in Canton that did not support union with the Soviet Union.

Because Lin Zixuan opposed the Soviet Union, he was appreciated by many veterans in the Guangzhou Nationalist Government, and they reminded Lin Zixuan that it was a show of goodwill.

Actually, Lin Zixuan could also get this news from the Song family.

This is why people with a position in society are not prone to accidents, because they have access to information channels and where there is danger, they will be told in advance.

this day. He gave a lecture at Aurora University in Shanghai.

This is Aurora University, not Fudan University. The former is a French Catholic school, and the latter is a privately funded school.

The two schools have a long history.

Aurora University was founded in 1903. It is a private university funded by the French Catholic Jesuit Scholarship Fund.

In 1905, the French Catholic Jesuits tried to take control of Aurora University and turn it into a religious school, which caused dissatisfaction among the students and all of them dropped out.

With the help of all sectors of society, these drop-out students raised funds to establish Fudan University.

Since then, Aurora University has become a French Catholic religious school, located in Luwan District, French Concession, with three colleges: medicine, law, and science and technology. Received financial support from the French government.

The school is taught in French, and most of the students are graduates of Xuhui College and schools run by Catholic churches around the world.

In this era, there were very few public universities in Shanghai, and most of them were private schools.

As a celebrity and literary leader, Lin Zixuan is often invited to speak at various universities, and he will not refuse whenever he has time, sometimes he will talk about new poems, sometimes he will talk about what he has seen and heard in Western countries.

This is to broaden the horizons of these young people who have just entered the university and understand the world.

This time. The title of his lecture was "The Similarities and Differences between Chinese and Western Literature", which was the conclusion he came to after discussing with Pearl Sai.

Pearl Say's graduation thesis at Cornell University was about the interaction between Eastern and Western civilizations, and she had a say in it.

At the end of the speech, three students came to Lin Zixuan. He looked rather cramped and held a booklet in his hand.

Lin Zixuan took it and saw that it was a publication similar to a campus literary magazine. It's called "Yingluo", and it's not printed by a regular publishing house. Rather, it is printed by hand.

In various universities, it is normal for literary young people to run literary magazines.

Some are more famous. For example, Peking University's "New Trend" magazine, but most of them are unknown and purely personal hobbies.

Lin Zixuan didn't care at first, and politely turned the title page, but saw the name of the founder.

Dai Wangshu, Du Heng, Shi Yucun, Liu Naou......

These names may not have been well known in 1926, but by the thirties they would become a new force in Shanghai's literary scene, leaving their names in the history of Chinese literature.

Lin Zixuan was a little embarrassed, he remembered that he had copied a poem called "Rain Alley", which was Dai Wangshu's famous work in the future.

He found a place to talk to the three of them, and found that life is really wonderful.

In 1923, Lin Zixuan had taught a semester of writing courses at Shanghai University, and after he left, Dai Wangshu and Shi Yucun entered Shanghai University in the fall, and they missed each other.

In 1925, because of the May Day Massacre, Shanghai University was closed down by the concession authorities, and the two transferred to Aurora University to study.

They met Du Heng, a fellow villager in Hangzhou, and Liu Naou, a Taiwanese, at Aurora University, and because they shared similar literary views and interests, they formed the Yingluo Society, founded the magazine "Yingluo", and published some poems and novels.

Of course, the magazine's response was not great, and it was in the nature of self-entertainment.

Their literary views were biased towards freedom.

When I was at Shanghai University, a teacher once said this to Dai Wangshu.

"Young people should go to the battlefield and pick up guns and fight. What is poetry? Poetry is a bomb, a trumpet, a flag. ”

They do not agree with this, they believe that literature is literature, and should not be involved with politics, and should not be used as a tool for propaganda, but should express their true feelings.

This view is not the same as the liberalism pursued by Xu Zhimo, who pursued a purer freedom.

In the Shanghai literary circle, there are old-school writers such as the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School, the revolutionary literature of the Creation Society, and the realist writing ideas of the Literature Research Society.

Lin Zixuan is a representative figure in Shanghai's literary circle, advocating the blossoming of literature, and his works are different in style, mixed with Chinese and Western.

This made Dai Wangshu and others feel that Lin Zixuan's literary style was extremely free, which was exactly the path they were pursuing.

They wanted to write something different from the past, neither an old novel nor a revolutionary literature, but a new novel that showed the era and expressed their thoughts.

However, it was precisely because of their literary propositions that a debate about the "third kind of man" broke out with the left-wing writers' alliance led by Lu Xun.

Lin Zixuan looked at these three people and felt that any literary faction was facilitated by chance.

Together with Liu Naou, who was not present, several young literary youths gathered at Aurora University to influence and learn from each other.

No one would have imagined that they would later become the representatives of Chinese New Sensation novels and an important part of Shanghai School literature.

Their works are written in a modernist way, showing the restlessness and glitz of the metropolis of Shanghai.

It is unique in its description of the feelings and lives of men and women in the city.

Different from the common perspective of the old society, the antipathy and hatred of the Beijing party towards the city, and the rational mentality of the left, the New Sensation School provided a more novel and profound way of understanding the city for the new literature.

At this time, they were just getting started.

For such a literary young man who has made great achievements in the future, Lin Zixuan naturally tried his best to win him over, but he also knew the disadvantages of pulling out seedlings.

So, he just gave a little help to provide a platform for these people to grow. (To be continued.) )
