After class, Lin Zixuan left Jiang Wei behind to understand the situation.

This schoolgirl has a round face, not pretty, but she looks very energetic, and her temperament is more lively, and she told her origin one by one.

Jiang Wei was born in 1904 in Linli, Hunan, and the Jiang family was a prominent local family.

Her grandfather was a high-ranking official and left a fortune, and it is said that he owned a courtyard with more than 200 rooms.

However, the family was in decline, and her father, who was a teenager and studied law in Japan, became a profligate smoker and used silver as copper coins.

Because of his physical illness and depression, he dropped out of school and returned to China, had nothing to do at home, flipped through medical books, looked at diseases, played with antiques, invited guests to dinner, and died of illness in his early thirties.

At that time, Jiang Wei had just turned four years old.

Her mother's surname is Yu, her maiden name is Manzhen, born in a scholarly family in Changde, she studied private school at an early age, and learned to write poems and paint.

When her husband died, she was only thirty years old, the family was bankrupt, and those who came to mourn were almost all creditors who came to beg for money at the same time.

This is a wonderful woman, she does not want to be discriminated against, and wants to fight for independence, so she took her daughter to Changde Normal School to study.

The mother went to the normal class and the daughter went to the kindergarten class, which caused a sensation in Changde County at that time.

A year later, Yu Manzhen took her daughter to Changsha Hunan No. 1 Girls' Normal School to study.

But because she had no money to continue her studies, she only studied for one year, and Yu Manzhen became a primary school teacher in Taoyuan County, leaving her daughter alone in Changsha to continue her studies.

Around 1916, Yu Manzhen served as the superintendent of Changde Girls' Primary School.

He also founded the Jiande Girls' Primary School, and also set up a "work-study mutual aid group" for poor girls, so that students do not pay tuition fees to learn cultural crafts, and they also have to pay some wages to subsidize their families.

In 1918, Jiang Wei studied in the preparatory department of Taoyuan No. 2 Girls' Normal School, and then transferred to Changsha Zhounan Girls' Middle School.

At that time, it was the beginning of the May Fourth New Culture, and at Zhounan Girls' High School, she was exposed to new literature, saw a new world, and thought that she could leave this closed environment and go outside to breathe fresh air.

However, his uncle intervened violently, and he asked Jiang Wei to marry his cousin after graduating in another six months.

The mother, on the other hand, supported her daughter, believing that it was right for her child to seek knowledge, to find a way, and to learn the most practical knowledge.

In the spring of 1922, a civilian women's school appeared in Shanghai, with the call of part-time work and study.

This made Jiang Wei see hope, so he came to Shanghai with his classmates and entered a civilian girls' school.

It's just that the conditions of the civilian girls' school are too difficult, and it is not the same as she imagined.

Historically, Jiang Wei was disappointed that she would leave Shanghai in the autumn to study in Nanjing, and it was not until the summer of 1923 that she returned to Shanghai to study in the Department of Chinese Literature at Shanghai University.

But Lin Zixuan's crossing led to the butterfly effect, Jiang Wei actually persevered in the civilian girls' school, and entered Shanghai University to listen to Lin Zixuan's lectures, which attracted Lin Zixuan's attention.

Because of the appearance of Lin Zixuan, Shanghai has the breath of new literature, and Jiang Wei can persevere.

Well, it's a bit high-sounding to say that, but it's actually because the sound films of Star Film Company kept Jiang Wei in Shanghai, and she especially liked the movie "Sunrise".

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Lin Zixuan's appearance has more or less changed the fate of some people.

For example, Zheng Zhengqiu, such as Ruan Lingyu, such as Jiang Wei......

This is another young man who left his family in order to get rid of an arranged marriage and pursue freedom!

Lin Zixuan sighed with emotion.

In this era, there are many such young people, who run away from their families, wander in society, fantasize about a free and beautiful new life, but underestimate the cruelty of society.

He inquired about Jiang Wei's living situation, and sure enough, he was not very optimistic.

Although the civilian girls' school is said to be part-time work and study, it does not have much income and income, with a total of less than 30 students.

The girls' school is divided into two classes, senior and elementary, and teachers come to the school on a voluntary basis to teach without charge.

The advanced classes teach Bahasa Malaysia, Mathematics, English, Economics, Education, Sociology, Oratory, Physics, etc.

The beginner class implements part-time work and study, with classes in the morning, sewing in the afternoon, and self-study in the evening.

There is also a work department to introduce students to jobs and professional classes to help certain older women or trainees who are not suitable for general education to improve their literacy more quickly.

In addition to attending classes, students often work in factories.

After persisting for more than half a year, the girls' school was extremely short of funds, and it could not even guarantee normal classes, and faced the risk of suspension.

In fact, the civilian girls' school was closed after half a month.

Because of this, Jiang Wei had time to go to Shanghai University to listen to the lectures, she not only listened to Lin Zixuan's classes, but also listened to the classes of other teachers, and she and her classmates came to Shanghai University to take classes.

Shanghai University is in the initial stage, the management is not so strict, and they are girls, so they are resigned.

Lin Zixuan didn't know what to say, he had to go to class in groups, and it was too hard to study.

He took Jiang Wei to Vice President Shao Lizi's office and told Jiang Wei about it, and with Lin Zixuan's guarantee, she would be considered an official student of Shanghai University in the future.

"I also have a fellow countryman......," Jiang Wei said weakly.

Perhaps feeling that her request was a bit excessive, she said in a low voice, but she was still heard by Lin Zixuan and Shao Lizi.

Shao Lizi is very aware of the situation of civilian girls' schools, and the enrollment advertisements of civilian girls' schools were published in the "Republic of China Daily", which was founded by Shao Lizi.

Shanghai University can accept some female students who are of the right age to go to school, and those who are too young or too old can not do anything.

Lin Zixuan can provide some part-time jobs.

For example, working in a newspaper or helping in a film company, similar to the interns in later companies, allows female students from difficult families to have a certain income and will not be without food and clothing.

Shao Lizi thought this was a good idea, and as soon as the two discussed, they decided on this matter.

Lin Zixuan took Jiang Wei out of Shanghai University, invited her to a meal, encouraged her to continue writing, and if she wanted to work and study, she could come to Vientiane Bookstore to help.

This made Jiang Wei very moved and agreed to try it at the bookstore.

Looking at the back of the female student leaving, Lin Zixuan felt that he had a tendency to be a life coach.

The rest of the year will be very busy, because he and Feng Chengcheng will have a Western-style wedding on January 1, 1923.

Moreover, there is a Chinese-style wedding before the Spring Festival.

The reason why Western-style weddings are held in churches is because they live in the concession area and invite close-knit foreigners to the wedding, which is an unavoidable social activity, while Chinese-style weddings are family-organized weddings.

Therefore, marriage is never a matter of two people.
