Mao Mu's personal badge.

I wonder if you have noticed that such a badge is printed in various works published in Mao Mu. This badge appears on an envelope, cover, title page or spine. This is Mao Mu's unique badge and the only connection between him and his father.

For many readers, Mao Mu is equivalent to the British Empire, while Mao Mu is the symbol of the British gentleman. Therefore, everyone thought that he was born in a noble family of several generations. In fact, Mao Mu's parents are new immigrants, professionals and belong to the middle class.

They don't live in England, but in France. Mao Mu's life began in France (Mao Mu was born in the British Embassy in France) and he died in France (at the end of his life, Mao Mu was cursed, so he never returned to England).

Mao Mu's father, Robert Aumund Mao Mu (1823- 1884), is a lawyer, the third generation of the lawyer family, well-known in the legal profession, and one of the founders of the British Bar Association.

Robert's family business is doing quite well. 19 In the 1940s, his family moved to Paris and opened a branch opposite the British Embassy with his partners. After being semi-officially appointed as a legal adviser by the British Embassy, his career became more prosperous.

1863, 39-year-old Robert Mao Mu married the charming Edith Marie snell who was 16 years younger than him. However, after giving birth to several sons, Edith still failed to recover from tuberculosis and finally passed away. Mao Mu was eight years old at this time.

Mao Mu's father is busy with work. He only stays with Mao Mu for a while on Sunday, so their relationship is very strange.

At that time, Robert Mao Mu built a summer house near the Seine a few miles west of Paris. Every Sunday, the sad father and son will go to check the progress of the project. The architectural style of this house is a bit strange, partly Japanese and partly Swiss mountain farmhouse style. The house is painted white and the shutters are red. From here, you can overlook the beautiful panorama of the Seine River and the whole Paris.

Looking back at that period, Mao Mu described his father as a man with "romantic spirit", because his father never forgot that he had been to Morocco, Greece and Asia Minor when he was young, and he imagined his small house as a villa in the Bosphorus.

In order to strengthen the exotic atmosphere, he carved the symbol of Moorish evil spirits on the window. After becoming a writer, Mao Mu chose this symbol as a special personal badge. Mao Mu's "Moore Badge" first appeared on the cover of Hero of 190 1. From then until Mao Mu's death, almost every work was decorated with this special symbol.

When Mao Mu's father was 0/0 years old in Mao Mu/Kloc, he died seriously of his wife. Mao Mu became an orphan, and later went across the ocean to the priest's uncle's house, and began a more lonely and painful childhood.

Decades later, Mao Mu built himself a villa called Malesco, which is a paradise in the Mediterranean jungle. After the villa was completed, Mao Mu, like his father, carved the Moorish symbol on the gate to ward off evil spirits.

Leiskow Villa was originally named Villa Mauresque, in which Mauresque means "Moor".

"If Mao Mu's legendary life is a tapestry, then Marescau Villa is one of the most beautiful silk threads. This villa has been visited, photographed, photographed and described by countless articles, and is known as the magnificent and strange background behind the most famous writers in the world. "

Mao Mu never forgot the early death of his parents. Throughout his life, he distributed his mother's photo and a wisp of hair at his bedside. These two things, like the Moorish amulet symbols, are the most cherished things of Mao Mu.

Mao Mu later wrote: "When my father was alive, I was like a passer-by. But somehow, after his death, the evil eye amulet linked us forever. "

If you have Mao Mu's book, take it out and have a look. Is this badge also printed? There are about ten books by Mao Mu on my bookshelf, almost all of which are printed with this badge, but in different positions.
