Chapter 319 Masters
This second lady Chen Xingren plays an important role in the modern Chinese literary world and is a talented woman of a generation. Chen Xingren has translated 17 works, including 9 dramas, 3 dramas, 1 prose and poems, and 4 non-literary works...
As early as the autumn of 1922, Xu Zhimo returned from Britain and launched a literary salon, Crescent Society at his residence. At that time, Liang Qichao, Lin Changmin, Ding Wenjiang, Zhang Junmai and other slightly older society, political celebrities, as well as Hu Shi, Chen Xiying, Ling Shuhua, Jian Jichang, Lin Huiyin, Lin Yutang, Zhang Xinhai, Rao Mengkan, Yu Shangyuan, Ding Xilin and other a large number of university professors and writers and literati often came here to have dinner and activities. Tao Menghe and Shen Xingren also joined in.
During this period, Chen Xingren and other literati and scholars such as Hu Shi, Zhu Ziqing, Liang Sicheng, and Jin Yuelin met and became good friends. Later, their "position" of activity was transferred to the homes of Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, which was what Bing Xin later referred to as the "wife's living room". At that time, Tao Menghe and Chen Xingren were the main guests of honor in the "living room".
When the famous philosopher and logician Jin Yuelin first saw Chen Xingren, he was shocked to heaven and man. In a hidden poem titled Chen Xingren, he wrote: "Nature is like the shadow of bamboo sparse in China and Japan, and benevolence is the fragrance of orchid in quiet wind." Jin Yuelin used the swaying bamboo shadows and the fragrant orchid fragrance to describe the beautiful style of "Shen Ren".
The prose writer Zhu Ziqing wrote in his diary on January 22, 1933 with his delicate brushstrokes as the moonlight as the lotus pond: "There are no more than Mrs. Tao and her husband come here for several years, but the youth is like the past, and the relationship between the situation and life is really huge." "Young people are like the past", this subtle implicit sentence shows the sacred elegant temperament of Chen Xingren at that time and the moving waves that Zhu Ziqing envies and the emotions in his heart.
Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Xingren has tuberculosis due to displaced conditions.
If she had no streptomycin, she would have gone from Lizhuang to Gansu as in history, and then died of illness in Lanzhou.
However, at this time, Chen Xingren was still lively and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin is a talented man! We have been famous for a long time. However, it is a pity that you only leave one "Go Youming Lu" in the world."
The implication is that "Qin Di wasted his time and did not leave more works that have been recorded in history. He is not as good as me, a weak woman!"
Qin Di didn't want to get entangled with these people, but just said, "I'm gambling in the orange of Bayuan, and I secretly remembered that I was smiling.
Three hundred hu of jade dust in two sleeves was thrown into auspicious snow. "It means: "What I did has long benefited the world! You ordinary people are obviously blind!"
Hearing this, the people present were in different moods. They no longer bothered Qin Di and began to rub Yan Xue, wanting to hear her sing a few songs.
Yan Xue just shook her head with a smile on her face.
Qin Yue helped smooth things over: "Forget it, my sister-in-law never speaks, and I haven't even heard her sing a few times. Don't force it. Mr. Liang, don't you want to inspect ancient buildings in Sichuan? You can ask my brother to fund a sum."
Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin looked at Qin Di, but they did not ask for each other.
Qin Yue said: "Brother, Mr. Liang is collecting information and writing "History of Chinese Architecture" and "Image History of Chinese Architecture". Can you give me some sponsorship?"
Qin Di immediately took out the check book and asked, "Mr. Liang, is 100,000 US dollars enough?"
Everyone took a breath of air conditioning when they heard this!
The fiat currency has depreciated significantly this year, but the US dollar is very strong. They didn't expect that Qin Di would say 100,000 US dollars as soon as he opened his mouth.
Liang Sicheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, academic research is a bottomless pit, and you can spend it even more. With this funding, I can collect more information and write more books."
Lin Huiyin also said, "We have walked many places and described some ancient buildings, but China is too big, and it is not enough to give us another ten years! Some buildings are about to be destroyed by artillery fire, which is a pity."
Qin Di wrote a check worth $200,000 and said, "You two alone will probably never run away in your life! Why not buy a few cameras, hire a few people with money, let them visit and take photos back. You can just sit at home and organize the information."
Liang Sicheng took the check and glanced at it, was surprised, his hands trembled, he quickly put it away, thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you! This money can do a lot of big things!"
Everyone saw Liang Sicheng taking the check. Although they didn't know the specific number, they all showed envious expressions.
Tao Menghe suddenly said: "Mr. Qin, there are currently more than 10,000 students in Lizhuang Town. Due to the limited national funding, students leave their hometowns and live a difficult life. Many people are not full, and even the professors are not having a good time. Sometimes there is only one sweet potato for a meal. Qin Yue has agreed to add half a pound of pasta to each student every day. In addition, I heard that Qin's Grain Store has imported some canned bean products from abroad. Can you give it to teachers and students a little? It's good to have one can a month!"
Qin Di nodded with a smile: "No problem, I'll send you here when you look back."
Humans need 8 essential amino acids for survival. Eating sweet potatoes alone will cause nutritional incompleteness, and it is best to match them with soybeans and meat.
Qin's Grain Store has long stored a lot of canned food and has been quietly taking out.
In addition to canned food, there are also some stored milk powder, which is also a hot commodity on the market.
For adults, milk powder is just a nutritional supplement, but it is very important for children. There is a lot of difference in whether there is milk powder or not. Not every mother can provide sufficient milk. Many children cry in the middle of the night, mostly because of hunger. It is easy for children to feed after eating and drinking.
When everyone saw Qin Di being generous, they praised him endlessly, and no longer had the intention of sarcasm to mock him.
Qin Di was also a scientist in his first life. Although he was not as famous as the people in front of him, he had published dozens of papers and participated in many international conferences. In the second life, he embarked on the path of cultivation, went through a lot of hardships, and became the Immortal Emperor, and had long surpassed the level of scholars. In this life, he had the soul of the Immortal Emperor, so naturally, he had a superhuman mentality and could not get along with scholars.
Even so, you must keep the politeness you should have.
His eyes looked at Tong Dizhou and asked, "Mr. Tong, are you still engaged in experimental research?"
Tong Dizhou smiled bitterly: "I only teach now and take students to do some basic experiments, so there is no research."
Qin Di smiled slightly: "I heard the name of Mr. A long time ago, if you encounter difficulties, you can write me a letter."
Tong Dizhou said: "It's easy to talk about, it's easy to talk about."
He was the first scientist to successfully clone a carp, and later became the vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Qin Di wanted to fund him to engage in experimental research, but giving money in public is not a problem, as he seems to be deliberately making a fortune. Moreover, as a great scientist, Tong Dizhou would not lower his identity and ask for help.
The reason why Qin Di sponsored Liang Sicheng was because his sister Qin Yue took the initiative to mention it.
Logically, he stole so much gold and kept it but couldn't have children. It was the right thing to take it out and do some serious things. But because this was the time of life and death in 1943, the country was in a life-and-death situation, and it was not a good time to do academic research. Moreover, the country should have arranged such things, and if he took it in big way, it would seem unreasonable.
Therefore, he just thought about it in his heart and then he fell down.
