"Although I have never seen the beauty of the Yangtze River again, I often swim in the Yangtze River in my dreams! Although I have never heard of the Yellow River, it is surging in my dreams......"

"One quiet night many years ago, my family went to New York, and the wildfire burned in our hearts, and we missed home every night and every day."

"I grew up in other people's land, and when I grow up, I will be the descendant of the dragon! Dragon, dragon, you keep your eyes open, forever and ever......"

This song "Descendants of the Dragon" is sings in a unique way, but it is charming. I have heard it many times in later generations for the rest of my life, although the talent is far inferior to Wang Leehom, but when I take out this song alone, I also have five or six points of Wang Leehom's charm. The charm and style of this song are also completely different from the popular songs in the United States at this time, and the anti-Japanese patriotic songs in China.

A song like "On the Songhua River", although it is Huang Zhongdalu, can arouse people's emotions. But if you want to become a pop song in the United States, you can't do it at all. But this song "Descendants of the Dragon" is different, although its theme is also patriotic nostalgia, but it has some light flavor. Particularly in line with the appetite of Americans.

In the movie, this "Descendants of the Dragon" was sung in Chinese and English, and was soon memorized by many Hollywood movie stars and singers with special music training. Some of them learned quickly, and they even started humming along to the tune.

And after the premiere of "Dragon Species", the Hollywood stars in the seats gave a collective standing ovation, first, this peculiar movie is really good quality. Second, give Meyer a face, so as not to be remembered by this cautious person in real power afterwards.

Amid thunderous applause, Meyer and Yu Sheng took the stage with one of the actors and crew of "Dragon Species" to thank the audience. One of them is Katharine Hepburn.

In fact, according to Hollywood standards, Katharine Hepburn is really not a beauty. Not to mention that the front is not convex and the back is not warped. The thin body, the sunken cheekbones, the towering face and the freckles on the face, are also fatal injuries for ordinary women.

It's just that Katharine Hepburn's charm also comes from here. Because its female personality traits are not obvious, the audience does not predict and will not identify the tendencies of the character's personality at first sight, as they did with Garbo or Marlene Dietrich. Therefore. There will be no expectations, and it will be difficult to be disappointed.

All of its characters and characters come from movies and stories. Because there is no prediction, the movie and the story can be separated from the actors themselves, and there is a particularly full character building. And this should be regarded as the foundation of Katharine Hepburn's acting skills.

Katharine Hepburn, who appeared on stage at this time, was already thirty-seven years old. There is no marriage, only one lover, Spencer Tsey. She is the first actor to wear shorts on screen as an actress who inherited her mother's feminist ideas. Or the first actress. The understanding of emotions is far more than that of some girls in later generations who clamored for women to be independent.

Catherine's private life is extremely clean, and even for dinner, she never eats out. No one can invite them. Even girlfriends. Moreover, Catherine only had one marriage in her life. In 1928, Catherine and her rich second-generation classmate Rudlove. Smith married. However, after marriage, Catherine found that her personality and her husband were not in harmony. In 1934, their marriage came to an end. Catherine has never been married ever since.

But this is not Catherine conservative. Or dare not rebel against the dogma of the world. She has never followed all kinds of authoritative dogmas. In 1941, Katharine Hepburn first met Spencer in "Woman of the Year". From then on, Katharine Hepburn let go of her original dogma and became Spencer's lover.

Katharine Hepburn, who once bluntly said "(I) can't give up my pursuit to satisfy her husband's **", completely let go of her insistence, and when describing her relationship with Qu Sai to the outside world, she said: "If we need to coordinate with each other, I will try to change myself to meet his requirements." ”

Spencer was a Catholic who had been separated from his wife in 1938 because of his heavy drinking and smoking. However, due to his religious beliefs, he cannot divorce his wife. And Katharine Hepburn didn't mind. Without any title, he accompanied Spencer Looper for twenty-six years, until Spencer's death.

In fact, in the eyes of later generations, Spencer's achievements are not at all comparable to Katharine Hepburn, whether it is acting skills or the money earned, or the evaluation of later generations. According to the opinion of many girls in later generations, in fact, Spencer Crow is not worthy of Katharine Hepburn. And Katharine Hepburn took a fancy to Spencer, which was simply a loss.

Katharine Hepburn didn't care, though. Society's evaluation has nothing to do with her.

In later generations, whether in school or in society, women's selection of men is still worthy of it, or not worthy. There are many hard and hard conditions for this to be worthy of it and not to be worthy of it. For example, appearance, house, car, job, income, social status, family background, etc......

Coupled with the proportion of women more than men in the country in later generations, women became extraordinarily delicate. Not only has the house become a mandatory condition, but more than 50% of them believe that in the process of falling in love, the man should pay for the expenses such as eating, watching movies, traveling, etc., which is a matter of course. Not to mention the sky-high bride price and adding names to the real estate certificate after marriage, which has been discussed for a long time and torn apart.

Among them, it is inevitable that there will be some girls, while enjoying the various benefits of "men should take care of women" brought by traditional Chinese values, they are also pursuing equal rights with men. Even, some girls will enjoy the benefits brought by several men when they pursue her at the same time. Known as green tea. In short, it is a word, you have the responsibility to go, and I have the right to come. And the name of these girls fighting for rights is equality between men and women, or women's rights!

However, such a feminist seems to be a bit biased. Of course, the concept of feminism is biased in the first place. The rise of feminism was originally proposed for men's rights. If masculinity is a mistake, then the concept proposed by the same person will not be correct. This imitation itself is a kind of attachment.

Moreover, later generations of feminists, when they imitated the concept of male power, also imitated men's character and means of obtaining power almost at the same time. With the tip of the needle to the wheat mang, after removing his gentle nature, in a man's way. Fight for the rights of men, and as a result, you are also masculine. In the eyes of men, these feminists are just men in women's skin, and there is no independence to talk about.

And the serious 800 women who are independent of men and equal to men, in the eyes of the rest of their lives, are only Katharine Hepburn. She is not captured by the value system constructed by men - she is no longer measured by Hollywood's circumference, appearance, or material value of actresses under the star system at this time, or the status of men and women under the moral system of men and women.

She ignored these standards in favor of men. The only one who can measure Katharine Hepburn. Only her skills to survive - acting as the first actress of the twentieth century. And she reined in the edge and treated the emotions seriously. These are the beauty of human nature that can exist regardless of gender.

Although Katharine Hepburn, was revered by later generations of feminists. But it is a pity that later generations of feminists are completely ignorant of the greatness of their ancestors. still regard men's standards as their own standards, so that for decades, most men in later generations still think about whether the money in their hands is enough to exchange, rather than whether they match the woman's own character and quality before considering getting along with a woman. Because of the power of the former, in reality. Much greater than the latter.

This time, Catherine did not come alone to the charity gala, Spencer Tsey, as a small star in Hollywood, also accompanied Catherine to the gala. Katharine Hepburn though came. But there was a clear sense of absent-mindedness. After a few polite words, thanks, and a check into the donation box, he hurriedly stepped off the stage. Return to the seat that accompanies Spencer. The lights are dim. It can be seen that the smile is faint.

Of course, the guest invited for the rest of her life was not Katharine Hepburn alone. The woman who has the closest relationship with the movie "Dragon Species". In addition to Catherine, there is also Pearl Race! When Yu Sheng called to invite Pearl Sai, Pearl Sai gladly promised to attend the party. Of course, the Pearl Race for the rest of her life is not just to make her show up.

Pearl Race was also a well-known figure in China at this time. In 1932, a Chinese translation of The Earth was published in China. Subsequently, Chinese comments on "The Earth" poured in. Although there are good reviews, they are not completely agreed.

On November 11, 1933, Shanghai's "Declaration. After Freedom Talk published Yao Ke's article "China in the Minds of Americans", Lu Xun wrote to Yao Ke, commenting on Pearl Sai's work: "Mr. wants to write a novel, I strongly agree, Chinese affairs, always done by Chinese, can see the truth, that is, such as Mrs. Booker (that is, Pearl Race), Shanghai once welcomed it, she also claimed to regard China as the motherland, but looking at her works, after all, the position of an American priestess who grew up in China, so it is not surprising that she called "Sending Lu", because she felt, It's just a little superficial. Only if we do it can we leave a truth. ”

Lu Xun does not think that Pearl Sai's perspective and evaluation system are sinicized. Therefore, it is not considered that its evaluation is objective and fair. However, because Pearl Race's perspective is beyond traditional Chinese culture, some things can be seen clearly. As the saying goes, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

Pearl Sai's Chinese peasants make people feel like they are in the wood, so there are still many people who like this work. Later, in 1938, "The Earth" won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and Pearl Race's fame in China became even greater. After all, this is a work about China and won the Nobel Prize.

After receiving the invitation for the rest of his life, Pearl Sai arrived in Los Angeles on the third day. Then, he participated in the rehearsal of the evening party for the rest of his life. According to the plan for the rest of his life, Pearl Race will sing two songs reflecting China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression for all the audience at the charity gala, the first is "On the Taihang Mountain", and the second is "Singing the Cowherd......

It's certainly not just a flash of inspiration for the rest of your life. When I communicated with Pearl Sai, who was in the tenth level of Chinese for the rest of my life, I found that this woman, who is now in her early fifties, regarded China as half of the motherland. I really want to contribute to China's anti-Japanese war. After showing Pearl Race the program schedule for the rest of her life, Pearl Race took the initiative to say that she could actually sing one or two of them.

Moreover, to the surprise of Yu Sheng, Pearl Sai told him that she could sing the two songs "On Taihang Mountain" and "Singing the Second Little Cowherd". She learned it in 1942, when she returned to China for the last time. However, when you think about it, it makes sense.

The song "On the Taihang Mountain" was written by Gui Taosheng in June 1938, composed by Xian Xinghai, and Zhou Enlai personally auditioned the second part. In July 1938, Zhang Shu, Lin Lu, Zhao Qihai and others sang for the first time at the Wuhan Singing Conference to commemorate the first anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War. Because of the grandeur of the lyrics and tunes, and the resolute but hopeful anti-Japanese tendency, it was soon sung throughout the country. Even Lao Jiang couldn't stop the singing of this song. It can be seen that its artistic charm is powerful.

and "Singing the Second Little Cowherd" is a real event that happened in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region in 1942. In 1942, thirteen-year-old Wang Xiaoer died after introducing the Japanese into the encirclement during a counter-sweep. Lyricist Fang Bing and composer Li Zaofu felt that their story was tragic and magnificent, and composed this song. And this news also appeared on the front page of the "Jinchaji Daily". It's no surprise that Pearl Race has heard this song.

Since Pearl Race took the initiative to ask for Ying, of course Yu Sheng would agree. Although Pearl Sai's voice is average, after a month of rehearsals, he has already sung well.

The loud music rang out to the applause of the Hollywood stars, who never imagined that Pearl Race would actually come to the stage to sing for this charity gala.

"The red sun is shining all over the east, and the god of liberty is singing! Look! Thousands of mountains and ravines, iron walls and copper walls! The anti-Japanese beacon fire is burning on Taihang Mountain! Arrogant!

Listen up! The mother told her son to fight the East, and the wife sent her husband to the battlefield. We are on Taihang Mountain, we are on Taihang Mountain; The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the soldiers and horses are strong! Wherever the enemy attacks, we want it to perish! Wherever the enemy attacks, we want it to perish! ”

A song "On the Taihang Mountain", Pearl Race sang it in Chinese and English. The song still seems to be very much in line with American appetites. Short and vast, especially "the god of liberty is singing", itself is an image of Western culture. It made the audience feel particularly tactile. (To be continued.) )
