The wedding of Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman caused quite a stir in Beiping.

There are many celebrities who participated in the wedding, including Liang Qichao, Ye Gongchao, Yang Jinfu, Ding Xilin, Ren Shuyong, Chen Hengzhe, Chen Yuan, Liang Shiqiu, Tang Youren and others.

Most of them are members of the Crescent Society and the Modern Critics.

It was at this wedding that Liang Qichao, as a witness, scolded Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman.

The old-fashioned Liang Qichao originally disagreed with the marriage, but under the persuasion of all parties, he reluctantly agreed to be a witness.

This unique testimony is unique in history.

"I'm here to say a few words that I don't like to hear, so that the society will know that such a bad example is not enough to take the law, and it is not worth encouraging -- Xu Zhimo, you are an impetuous person, so that you have nothing to learn, you can't do anything, you can't do anything, and you are a failure.

Lu Xiaoman, you and Xu Zhimo are both from the past, I hope that from now on you can abide by women's morals, review your personality and behavior, divorce and remarriage are caused by the mistakes of your character, I hope you don't make mistakes again and again.

Don't take selfishness as the criterion of action, don't take absurdity and pleasure as the goal of life pursuit, don't treat marriage as child's play, think that you can get married if you are happy, divorce if you are unhappy, make your parents ashamed, make friends disdainful, and let society see jokes!

In short, I hope this is the last time the two of you will get married in this life! That's how I congratulate you! -- I'm done! ”

Liang Qichao had informed Xu Zhimo of this matter in advance, he would not say nice things at the wedding, and Xu Zhimo was mentally prepared.

The pair of masters and apprentices worked hard to perform this scene in response to the criticism of public opinion.

In Beiping. Regarding the marriage of Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman, most of the public opinion is critical. There are very few people who support it.

Most people think that Xu Zhimo destroys other people's families, and Lu Xiaoman does not abide by women's morals. The two hooked up and became adulterous, which is the adulterer's ****.

In this era, although the social atmosphere gradually opened up, it was still dominated by conservative forces.

I didn't see that even Lu Xun had to hide in the south when he had an extramarital affair, Lu Xun was known as a super strong person who lived endlessly and fought endlessly, and he was not afraid of anyone in the debate, but he still couldn't withstand this pressure.

That's what people say.

Now, as an elder, Liang Qichao scolded the two of them once. Others don't have a good idea to say anything.

Most of the guests who came to the wedding did not know, and for a while, the atmosphere at the wedding scene was extremely awkward.

Afterwards, Liang Qichao wrote a letter to his sons Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, who were far away in the United States, about the incident.

"Yesterday, I did something extremely unwilling to go to witness Xu Zhimo's marriage. His bride is Mrs. Wang Shouxing, who fell in love with Xu Zhimo before divorcing Shouxing, which is really immoral. I gave a precept at my wedding speech. A great lesson for them, the newlyweds and the full house of guests are all discolored, this is probably an unheard of wedding in ancient and modern times!"

Liang Qichao also wrote his testimony at the wedding on a letter.

This is to warn Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin about Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman, and they should take their feelings seriously. Don't divorce at every turn, be morally corrupt, and humiliated.

The main thing to talk about here should be Lin Huiyin.

After all, the emotional entanglement between Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin is well known. Liang Qichao must not be very worried about this future daughter-in-law, so he knocked it out in advance.

Otherwise, there is no need to write this letter. also attached the marriage statement that scolded Xu Zhimo.

This kind of old spicy method of knocking on the side is only used by a great writer like Liang Qichao.

In later generations, some people said that Hu Shi also participated in Xu Zhimo's wedding. Also made a host, which is nonsense.

At this time, Hu Shi was still wandering around Europe.

On August 4, 1926, Hu Shi and his party came to England.

The main purpose of his visit to England this time was to attend the meeting on Gengzi's reparations, but the British did not pay much attention to this, and after a few meetings, they dispersed.

He spent a few days in England exchanging knowledge with British sinologists.

He also gave several lectures on the development of China's new culture, called "China's Renaissance".

He compared China's new culture with the European Renaissance and believed that the new culture was a great emancipation of China's intellectual circles.

At the same time, Hu Shi also flipped through the scriptures on Dunhuang culture at the British Museum in England and the National Library in France.

The Dunhuang scrolls, stolen from China by the Englishman Stein, are stored in the British Museum.

The Frenchman Birch and the smuggled Dunhuang artifacts are stored in the National Library of Paris.

Although Stein's collection of Dunhuang Chinese manuscripts is relatively large, due to his lack of knowledge of sinology, his selection is not precise, and its historical value is far inferior to that of the French explorer Bo Xihe, who came to Dunhuang later than him.

Bo Xihe obtained a large number of precious cultural relics of Dunhuang, and wrote books such as "Dunhuang Thousand Buddha Caves", which became famous in France.

He even became a professor at the Collège de France in Paris.

Due to the initiative of Lin Zixuan and Chen Yinge, Dunhuang culture has gradually attracted the attention of academic circles in China.

On August 26, Hu Shi visited Bo Xihe in France, and after Bo Xihe's introduction, he was able to enter the National Library of Paris and read the Dunhuang scriptures.

He came here for the purpose of research, and he had no opinion on foreigners who stole Chinese cultural relics, or he was unwilling to think about it.

is not as indignant as Lin Zixuan.

In the eyes of the Chinese of this era, this seems to be a commonplace, and there is no need to be so distressed.

After returning to China, Hu Shi sorted out and wrote the posthumous works of the Shenhui brought back from Paris and London, and wrote a very detailed "The Biography of Master Heze", which was compiled into the "Collection of the Monks of the Shenhui", which was published in China.

He wrote this in the "Preface to the Collection of Sacred Monks".

"I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude to my many friends. I am most grateful to Dr. Zhai Linnaeus of the British Museum in London, and Professor Paul Birch in Paris, without whose kind assistance I would not have been able to obtain these materials. ”

Linnaeus Zhai was a British sinologist who was in charge of the Dunhuang documents stolen by Stein at the British Museum.

After doing this, Hu Shi went to Germany again.

On October 27, 1926, he was invited by the German sinologist Wei Lixian to give a lecture at the Chinese Academy in Frankfurt, Germany.

The cost of this lecture was 300 marks, barely enough for his journey from England to Germany.

The title of his speech was called "Chinese Novels", which lasted 105 minutes, and he told three English jokes in the course of his speech, which were actually understood by foreigners.

However, Hu's trip to Europe was not all good.

When I was having dinner with a friend, I met Chinese students handing out flyers.

The leaflet read: "Warning to overseas Chinese compatriots in Europe, please pay attention to the actions of Dr. Hu Shi, Sun Chuanfang's lackey, in coming to Europe."

This is probably due to the involvement of his friend Ding Wenjiang, who was the general office of the Husong Commercial Port Supervision Office under Sun Chuanfang.

Chinese students abroad did not know about it, so they put their hats on Hu Shi's head, of course, this is also the reason why Hu Shi had supported the Beiyang warlord government.

It can be seen from this that Hu Shi has been in Europe during this time, and it is impossible to participate in Xu Zhimo's wedding. (To be continued.) )
