Famous Prose of Song Family Living Room

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Zhang Ailing's death. Song Qi and Ichiro Song have always been known to the world as executors of Zhang Ailing's legacy, but they don't know that the fate of the Song family is also ups and downs.

On September 8th, 20 years ago, 1995, Zhang Ailing was found dead in her apartment in California. After that, her legacy was kept by her friends Song Qi and his wife. After the death of the Song couple, their son Ichiro Song became the executor of Zhang Ailing's legacy. In recent years, Ichiro Song has successively published Zhang Ailing's posthumous works little reunion and Leifeng Pagoda. As a result, Ichiro Song became one of the most concerned figures in China culture. He is called Zhang Ailing's researcher, Zhang Ailing's expert or cultural person, but he doesn't agree with these names. "I don't use that (evaluation system)." To him, he is just an executor of the inheritance, which should not be done by him in the first place.

"But who can I give it to? There is nothing I can do. " More than ten years ago, the Song family had donated a large number of Zhang Ailing's relics to the Oriental Library of the University of Southern California, but after more than ten years, there were not many research results. As for the researchers who claimed to be Zhang Ailing, Ichiro Song said, "I was very happy at first, and I showed them the information, but later I found that they had other purposes ..."

Zhang Ai Ling is an evergreen tree in the publishing market, and Zhang Xue is an outstanding scholar. Zhang Ailing gave the Song family the love of her life. These fourteen boxes of cultural relics are a treasure house, and their academic value is immeasurable. Even from the most vulgar point of view, one page of Ling's letters in the market has been auctioned to nearly 60 thousand Hong Kong dollars, while there are as many as 600 letters between Ling and her parents alone, and there are many manuals and manuscripts, so the market value is immeasurable.

Ichiro Song and his sister Song Yuanlin funded the establishment of the "Five-year Plan for Zhang Ailing's Literature". In fact, he could have taken the letters to the auction house for auction as usual, but he still struggled to carry the banner of "sorting out Zhang Ailing's legacy".

After the publication of Jong-Jong 20 14, Ichiro Song announced that the collation of Zhang Ailing's large-scale old works had come to an end temporarily. In 20 15, the book related to him was an unexpected new book-Song Family Living Room: From Qian Zhongshu to Zhang Ailing. This is a book about his own family. It lasted for two years and was dictated by Ichiro Song and sorted by Chen Xiaoqin, a former reporter of Southern Metropolis Daily. From the perspective of Ichiro Song, it is "centering on Song Qi and his wife, tracing back to Song Chunfang, Qian Zhongshu, Fu Lei, Wu Xingdong and Zhang Ailing, and positioning themselves as" thinking about the Millennium "and" seeing through Wan Li "(in Chen Zishan).

The nobles in the living room of the Song family.

Compared with the "Lins' Living Room" in Peiping (owner Liang Sicheng and Lin), the "Zengs' Living Room" (owner Zeng Mengpu and Shao's Living Room) in Shanghai, the Song's living room is more quiet. Why are the four most famous gifted scholars in modern history and Song Qi quite close and appreciate each other? This proposition is not only about fate, but also about the life experience of the Song family.

"My family used to have many properties in Shanghai. Li Chunhua Street belongs to my family, and Andingfang Street is also there. There is also the Yuyuan Road Mansion where Cai Yuanpei lived. Property rights are in the hands of my father. " Ichiro Song said simply. Although Song Qi thought that real estate was harmful, there was no doubt that the Song family was absolutely rich in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Ichiro Song also admitted in his new book: "The reason why the Song family was rich in those years stemmed from two marriages: one was that his great-grandfather Song Jisheng married Xu Biyun, and the other was that his grandfather Song Chunfang married Zhu." In today's words, it was the middle class who married the rich second generation Bai and changed the fate of this family. The father of Xu Biyun, Song Ichiro's great-grandmother, worked for Jin Fei and Zhen Fei's cousin Tang Zhirui in Shanghai, and his grandfather married Zhu Jiantang's daughter, who was the comprador of German and German foreign firms, so the Song family had their own place in Shanghai.

At that time, China paid attention to poems and songs. There is no Ding Bai in the Song family, but there is a gorgeous living room to entertain all parties, but this is not enough. You must have a great scholar to talk and laugh. Song Chunfang, the grandfather of Ichiro Song, is a modern scholar. 12 was admitted to St. John's University, 19 12 was admitted to St. John's University. He knew seven languages, studied western drama, and became the first person to offer drama courses in China University. He bought a lot of original books in Europe and became famous in China. Later, he donated 10 thousand yuan to build Qingdao Aquarium, and the Chunrun Road he built became the stronghold of celebrities in Hangzhou during the Republic of China. Visitors to Chunrun Road include Zhang Taiyan, Xu Zhimo, Jiang Menglin, Cai Yuanpei and Lin Fengmian. ...

Before the publication of Song Family Living Room, one of the authors had been to Andingfang in Shanghai and Chunrun Road in Hangzhou. Chunrun Road is located at No.54 Beishan Road, Hangzhou. It is built near the West Lake, opposite Bai Causeway, and there are two yellow western-style garden villas in the gray exterior wall. Different from the glory of the past, Chunrun Road now looks a little shabby, with many walls falling off, some cobwebs on the windows and a lot of weeds and garbage piled up in the corners. Now it belongs to the government and rents seven or eight households. This place has nothing to do with the Song family, and the residents here don't know who Song Chunfang is.

Because of lung disease, Song Chunfang died young at the age of 48, so Song Qi was tired of lung disease and could not leave Hong Kong for the rest of his life. Although dragging a weak body, Song Qi, by virtue of his intelligence and ability, wandered around the world, shuttling between cultural films and commercial circles. During his stay in Shanghai, he had a strong family background and engaged in the black market business of drugs and cars. At the same time, he was interested in drama, and he made up a stage play "All Happy". He also had close friends with Qian Zhongshu, Steven Wu, Ji Xia 'an, Xia Zhiqing, Fu Lei, Zhang Zhilian and others.
