Can I ask for the name and brief introduction of a famous Anhui female writer in the history of modern literature?

Anhui-born female writer Su Xuelin

Su Xuelin (February 24, 1897 - April 21, 1999) was a female writer and litterateur. Her baby name is Ruinu and Xiaomei, her scientific name is Xiaomei, and her courtesy name is Xuelin. Later, because she was promoted to Beijing Higher Women's Normal University, she omitted the word "小" and changed it to Sumei. After returning to China from France, he took the name Su Xuelin. His pen names include Luyi, Lingfen, Laomei, Tianying, etc. Born in Cheng Yamen, Ruian County, Zhejiang Province in 1897, he laughs at himself as half-Zhejiang native. He was originally from Lingxia Village, Taiping County, Anhui Province (now Huangshan District, Huangshan City). In the early 1930s, Su Xuelin was once called Aying's "the best prose writer among female writers." In addition to some descriptions of scenes, most of her proses were short essays describing people's narratives. The language of his writing is bright and clear, and the prose is mixed with many insights. Although it may not be very profound, it has the style of scholar's prose. It’s just that she has written articles attacking left-wing writers such as Lu Xun and Guo Moruo and made anti-Japanese remarks, so she is not liked by people in mainland China

Has been “anti-Lu” for most of her life

In Su Xuelin’s character She often shows the characteristic of being "arguable" and has taken the initiative to start debates in the modern literary world several times. Since the 1930s, she has written articles to participate in the debate on Li Jinfa's symbolist poetry, and has had several rounds of discussions with Mr. Qin Zihao. Then after the publication of "The Eyes of Junala", I discussed with Mr. Xiang Peiliang about drama settings and stage performances, and wrote "Answers to Mr. Xiang Peiliang on Acting Questions" (April 16, 1935) "Wuhan Daily"). These discussions and debates mainly focus on how to view and evaluate literary and artistic works, and are limited to the scope of literature and art itself. It can be said to be an academic dispute, and it is two-way, with back and forth. Su Xuelin's debate on Lu Xun is completely different from the above situation. On the surface, it seems to be in the form of pen and ink, but the essence of the content is completely divorced from academics and has become a state of political opposition. It is one-way, coming and going. Because Lu Xun had died of illness on October 19, 1936, Su Xuelin's hostile attitude toward Lu Xun began within a month after Lu Xun's death. Su Xuelin opposed Lu Xun for such a long time and published so many articles, which is rare in history. Her views on Lu Xun, ranging from praise to opposition, are well known and attract worldwide attention. As early as the 1920s, Su Xuelin had no grudge against Lu Xun. In 1928, she and Mr. Lu Xun attended a banquet hosted by Li Xiaofeng, the owner of Beixin Bookstore; in May 1929, Su Xuelin stated in the article "Written in front of (Modern Writers)" Lu Xun is "China's most successful native writer". Later, in the "Introduction to Mr. Zhou Zuoren", the evaluation of Lu Xun and his "The True Story of Ah Q" was: "He made profound research on the pathology of the Chinese nation" and "established many cases and treatments." In the winter of 1934, she published "The True Story of Ah Q" and "The Art of Lu Xun's Creation" ("Chinese Weekly" Vol. 11, Issue 14), giving high praise to the creative art of Lu Xun's novels and her two novels. The collection "Scream" and "Wandering" commented: "Two books, just two books, have already made him occupy a permanent position in the history of Chinese literature in the future." In this article, the artistic characteristics of Lu Xun's novels are summarized into three: "The first is the profundity and coldness of the writing...; the second is the simplicity and elegance of the syntax...; the third is the novelty and originality of the genre..." Until the 1960s. In the late 1990s, Su Xuelin also bluntly expressed her admiration for Lu Xun in her article "The Reasons Why I Turned from Admiration to Opposition to Lu Xun - The 30th Anniversary of Lu Xun's Death" (included in "Literary Talk"): "A "The True Story of Q" really drove us crazy. Everyone read this article and criticized each other after reading it. At that time, what we were happy about was just the humor and interest in the article... After reading Zhou Zuoren's evaluation, I began to gain a deeper understanding of "The True Story of Ah Q" and felt that this novel was of high value.

So, what was the reason that prompted Su Xuelin to suddenly turn from admiration to opposition and even hostility towards Lu Xun? She said in the same article: "When did the perception of him change? That was after the Women's Normal University trend. Because Su Xuelin and Lu Xun had completely different views on what Yang Yinyu, the president of Women's Normal University, did during the Women's Normal University trend. , and then involved differences in the attitude of Zhang Shizhao, the Minister of Education who supported Yang Yinyu. As the current situation changed, the political differences between Su Xuelin and Lu Xun became more and more intense, and their rhetoric became more and more fierce. It can be said that they were "laughing and angry." On November 12, 1936, Su Xuelin wrote "Discussing Lu Xun's Books with Mr. Cai Jiemin", which kicked off her "half-life anti-Lu". The next day she wrote "Li Shuihe" "Come Out", sarcasticly criticizing Lu Xun. Four days later, on November 18, she wrote "A Book on Current Cultural Trends with Mr. Hu Shizhi" (published in the first issue of "Ben Tao" in 1937). The article's "Autobiography" wrote: "Based on Lu Xun's life and deeds, he will not have a place in the Twenty-Four Histories of Scholars, and it is indeed not easy to find such a villain in the Twenty-Four Histories of Literature and Literature. ".

From the late autumn of 1936 to the spring of 1937, Su Xuelin wrote several articles in succession, "On Jealousy", "Wealth and Immortality", "On Idols", "On Slander", "On Right and Wrong", "Review of the Pathology of the Past Literary World", "Review of the (Wuhan Daily) Supplement" Suggestions", "Miscellaneous Essays on Lu Xun", etc., were published in Chengdu's "Military Literature and Art" (signed "Ye Falcon"), "Wuhan Daily · Parrot Island", "Literature" national special issue, "Ben Tao" and other publications, whether from The content and language are both very intense, and have gradually upgraded compared to the previous two articles. After Su Xuelin arrived in Taiwan in 1949, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were in a state of hostility. One can imagine Su Xuelin's attitude towards Lu Xun. Since the 1950s, she has been writing articles non-stop to continue her "anti-Lu" cause. She wrote "My Views on Combat Literature and Art", "Pipa and Abalone: ??The God Who Became a God - Lu Xun" and "Forty Years of the New Literary Circle". "Biography of Lu Xun" (Part I and II), etc. In 1967, most of the articles were collected and published in "My Essay on Lu Xun" (Aimei Publishing House). When the book was published, Su Xuelin said that "Having spent half my life on the 'anti-Lu' cause... I will not be happy to pay attention to it in the future." "I On Lu Xun" plus appendix *** collects eighteen articles. She talked about the purpose of publishing this book in her "Preface". Why am I publishing this collection now? First, everyone must know that Su Xuelin is against Lu Xun. "Opposing Lu" has almost become my career for half my life, but why should I oppose it? How exactly is it anti-fa? It seems that no one can know clearly. ...Because this book represents my personal "observations", "feelings", and "evaluations" of Lu Xun. Secondly, October 19th this year is the 30th anniversary of Lu Xun’s death. As an anti-Lu person, I should also write a little, so I wrote a 27,000-word "Biography of Lu Xun" and "Lu Xun" in one go. "The reasons why I went from admiration to opposition to Lu Xun". Third, I see that "praising Lu" has become a trend in Taiwan forums in recent years, and some people are already calling for Lu Xun's works to be reprinted in Taiwan. But I worry that the idol of Lu Xun will be erected in Taiwan again, and the worship of Lu Xun will also become increasingly popular in Taiwan. The language is clear, concise and unabashed, and Su Xuelin can be said to be honest with the readers. It is not difficult to see her "courage" and "guts".

Let’s start with a piece of “criminal evidence” used by Liang Shiqiu and Su Xuelin to criticize Lu Xun

Cai Hongwei of Fengjing Xinghuafang

When Lu Xun was alive, the general Disciples would not dare to confront him. Liang Shiqiu, who had qualifications from Tsinghua University and studying in the United States, was considered above average, so he was lucky enough to have a few rounds with Lu Xun when he was alive. As a result, he was still frightened, and he was still a little uneasy when he wrote "About Lu Xun" in 1964. Until Liang's death, his evaluation of Lu Xun, who preceded him, always maintained the attitude he had during the debate that day, without intensifying his rhetoric. From this point of view, Liang is indeed a gentleman.

Su Xuelin is different. When Lu Xun was alive, she seemed to be timid about challenges, let alone have the chance to meet them. After all, she was just an Anhui woman who was born in a government office in Ruian County, Wenzhou. When she was studying abroad, she had all sorts of frivolous relationships. After returning to China, she had some problems with her marriage. Although he was a student of Hu Shi and had a gold-lettered brand, he was still unable to get along in society. Once Lu Xun was really exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable! Therefore, when Su Xuelin criticized Lu Xun, almost all of them were after Lu Xun's death. Lu Xun couldn't hear it and couldn't fight back. Therefore, this Anhui woman was "splendid" and "successful" and wore her braids after reaching the age of 100. Compared with Liang Shiqiu, Su is a complete villain!

However, in their criticisms of Lu Xun, Liang Shiqiu and Su Xuelin unanimously cited one "evidence", which was Lu Xun's changeable working environment. In other words, they unanimously believed that frequent "job hopping" indicated that there was something wrong with Lu Xun's character and that his relationship with his colleagues was not good. Liang Shiqiu only mentioned Lu Xun's character flaws, thinking that he was extreme, prone to emotion, and easily exploited by others. There is also a hint of pity beneath the strings. Su Xuelin turned it into a personal attack, saying that Lu Xun had problems with his character and therefore could not be tolerated by the surrounding environment.

Indeed, in Lu Xun's short life, he lived all the way from Shaoxing to Nanjing, to Japan, to Hangzhou, to Beijing, to Xiamen, to Guangzhou, and to Shanghai. I have worked in many units (including government agencies, universities, middle schools, etc.) and had conflicts with many colleagues (including scholars like Gu Jiegang). If this can prove that there is something wrong with a person's character or character, then wouldn't the mountain people who stay in one place and the squatters who eat only with their corpses become saints? Wouldn’t it be true that Du Fu, whom Su Xuelin and others relied on for food, had become a “stray cat” with extremely questionable character? Du Fu's "job-hopping" experience was much worse than Lu Xun's!

Not only that, Lu Xun went from being a public servant to being a self-employed person throughout his life, writing a strong mark on the history of Chinese intellectuals' struggle for independent personality. Only with economic independence can we have freedom of speech. Lu Xun achieved this goal. As a result, Liang Shiqiu and Su Xuelin, who lived within the system, took advantage of this to ridicule Lu Xun for losing his "job." This is actually the difference between "human" and "slave"!

Liang Shiqiu was loyal to his duties, taught and studied throughout his life, and was diligent and successful. His achievements in translating Shakespeare and editing the "Far Eastern English-Chinese Dictionary" can be regarded as a good "slave" within the system; Su Xuelin It's different. At most, he is a bad "slave"! The large amount of written garbage she concocted sometimes made her teacher Hu Shi feel so stinky that he couldn't bear to smell it.

Hu once wrote a letter to Su Xuelin, telling her not to "study" "Dream of Red Mansions"! Because Su's academic ability is too shallow and his utilitarianism is too eager. I once had the courage to look through her "Introduction to Tang Poetry", but I couldn't stand it anymore. I really don’t understand how she educates other people’s children!

From this, we see the value of Lu Xun, the respectability of Liang Shiqiu and the despicability of Su Xuelin.
