Chapter 252: All the way north
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Due to the strong attack of Lin Zixuan's side, it caused a strong response from the society, and they accused the "Women's Magazine" of moral corruption.
Shanghai's Jing Bao and Shishi Xinbao's supplement Qingguang attacked one after another, joining the camp of criticism, arguing that the Women's Magazine had a tendency to teach bad young men and women, and that the so-called "new sexual morality" it put forward was against morals and customs.
The commercial press panicked in the public outcry, and the internal conservatives censored the Women's Magazine.
Zhang Xichen and Zhou Jianren were temporarily suspended.
Zheng Zhenduo complained to Lin Zixuan about this matter, and this issue of "Women's Magazine" was a special issue carefully planned by them, in order to promote a new "sexual morality" to criticize the sexual morality of the old society.
Many of the articles on advocating for women's emancipation in this context are very constructive.
It is unfair to attack the "Women's Magazine" itself just because the views put forward by Zhang Xichen and Zhou Jianren are more outrageous.
Moreover, this view is not from the two of them, but from Western society.
Lin Zixuan read that issue of "Women's Magazine", which also contained articles by Shen Yanbing and Shen Zemin.
None of these people's essays are their own thoughts, but are from the book "Love and Marriage" by the Swedish feminist theorist Ellen Kay, which was published in 1911 and introduced to China around 1920.
In the January 1918 issue of New Youth, "The Women's Question," Ehron Kay's theory was introduced.
The editors of the "Women's Magazine" did not care whether they were in line with China's national conditions, but copied out what they thought was trendy and put them into play, and turned them into the main content of the "Women's Magazine."
Interestingly, they did not give a comprehensive account of Ellen Kay's writings, but chose to elaborate on what was beneficial to them. And turn a blind eye to what is bad for you.
Zhang Xichen and Shen Yanbing especially admired Ellen Kai.
Lin Zixuan thinks that many of these women's freedom views are good, and they can be put in the "Family" magazine of Vientiane Bookstore.
As for Zheng Zhenduo's complaints, he directly ignored them.
This is a competition between the two publishing houses, and by defeating "Women's Magazine", "Family" can win more readers.
Who told you to express your views indiscriminately without looking at the actual situation in China, thinking that they were trendy. If you want to be sensational, you can only say that there is something wrong with your personal thoughts.
Zhou Jianren himself is married and has three children, but he still lives with another woman in Shanghai.
This may be the reason why he advocates this view, living a Western-style life of "one spouse, one lover".
At this time, Chen Daqi, a professor at Peking University, wrote an article and sent it to Modern Review, criticizing Zhang Xichen and Zhou Jianren.
Chen Daqi is a native of Haiyan, Zhejiang, graduated from Tokyo Imperial University in Japan, and is a pioneer of modern psychology in China. One of the political writers of the magazine "New Youth", he is quite influential in the field of new culture.
The addition of this man escalated the controversy and dealt a severe blow to the Women's Magazine.
It's just that Lin Zixuan can't take care of these anymore at this time, and he has more important things.
Miss Song Jiasan came to him, and she received a telegram from Beiping that Sun Zhongshan was critically ill.
Sun Zhongshan went to Peking with illness and stayed at the Beijing Hotel.
Immediately, he invited doctors from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Dibor and Keli, to consult and treat Schmidt together.
Peking Union Medical College Hospital was built in 1921. It is an affiliated hospital of the private Peking Union Medical College run by the Chinese Medical Foundation, which belongs to the Rockphil Consortium in the United States.
It is considered a hospital with a high level of medical care in Beiping.
After consultation, they confirmed that Sun Zhongshan had liver disease. He also intends to use surgery to explore the condition.
But Sun Zhongshan was very stubborn and did not agree to the surgery, and only agreed to use conservative internal medicine treatment.
On January 21, Sun Zhongshan's condition worsened, and when surgery was necessary, doctors from China, the United States, and Germany consulted together. Decided to go under the knife.
On January 26, Sun Zhongshan was admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital for surgery.
The people who operated on Sun Zhongshan were the best experts in China at this time, and the operation was carried out quickly. After laboratory tests, it was confirmed that the cause of Sun Zhongshan was a malignant tumor, which was later called liver cancer.
Soon after the surgery, radiotherapy was administered, and the condition deteriorated dramatically after two days of no results.
The doctor knew that Sun Zhongshan's disease would not be cured.
On February 17, Liu Ruiheng, the director of Union Hospital, wrote a letter to Kong Xiangxi, making it clear that Sun Zhongshan was suffering from an incurable disease and that time was running out, which meant that he should inform his family as soon as possible, prepare for the future, and make plans as soon as possible.
Ruiheng Liu, an M.D. from Harvard University who specializes in cancer surgery, is the end result of his letter.
On February 18, Sun Zhongshan was transferred from Union Hospital to the house of Gu Weijun, a diplomat in Tieshi Hutong, which was equivalent to giving up hospital treatment and focusing on recuperation.
In this way, Miss Song Jiasan, who was in Shanghai, received a telegram from Beiping.
Now that the battle of Jiangsu and Zhejiang has just ended, the Feng army has not completely withdrawn from Shanghai, and there are still defeated soldiers looting around.
Because of the war, the Jinpu railway from Shanghai to Tianjin was interrupted, and the port of Tianjin has also been closed, so it is impossible to reach Tianjin directly, let alone Beiping.
But Miss Song insisted on going to Beiping, and Lin Zixuan had to inquire with the help of a relationship.
At present, there are not many passenger ships from Shanghai, so we can only take a boat from Shanghai to Qingdao, Shandong, and then see if the Jiaoji Railway is operating normally when we arrive in Qingdao.
If it is normal, you will take the train north, and then you will have to change trains twice to reach Beiping.
After all, Qingdao did not fight, so it should be considered safe, and this is already the safest and most time-saving route.
The traffic in this era is like this, so Lin Zixuan hates going out, and it is not convenient at all.
At this time, the first month has not yet passed, it is the time when the weather is cold, and a woman went to Beiping alone, and it was a year of war and chaos, which was really reassuring.
Looking at the pitiful eyes of the third lady of the Song family, even if he was reluctant, he had no choice but to be a flower messenger.
On February 23, 1925, Lin Zixuan and Miss Song Jiasan boarded a passenger ship to Qingdao together.
Of course, he also brought a bodyguard, just in case, once he encounters stragglers, ruffians or something, he can't play a role, and it depends on the performance of the bodyguard.
When I arrived in Qingdao, it was easy to get on the train, and it was still the worst train.
There were no private rooms, no hot water, let alone meals, and there was nothing left but this train going north.
The weather in the north was unusually cold, so the two had to wrap up their clothes tightly and huddle together to keep warm and get through this long journey.
After a few days of tossing, on February 28, they finally came to Beiping alive.
Lin Zixuan didn't expect that after a year, he came to this city again, and he had a hunch that he would not have any more intersections with this city, and it seemed that his hunch was not accurate.
Peking Qianmen Railway Station, no one knew about their arrival.
Out of the train station, the two shivering from the cold hurriedly ran to a restaurant to eat and drink, leaving their demeanor and elegance behind.
This is perhaps the most embarrassing moment of their lives. (To be continued.) )
