Zhang Ailing is a talented woman. She started writing novels at the age of 7, and published her own works in magazines at the age of 12, and wrote many excellent works. However, her love life was not smooth, and finally she even died alone, only to be discovered a week after her death.
What kind of bumpy life does talented Zhang Ailing have?
Zhang Ailing, formerly known as Zhang Tang, 1920 was born in Shanghai on September 30th. Zhang Ailing's family was once prominent. Her grandfather Zhang Peilun was a minister in the late Qing Dynasty, and her grandmother Li Ju and his wife were the eldest daughter of Li Hongzhang, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty.
When Zhang Peilun was eloquent, Li Hongzhang attached great importance to him and married his eldest daughter, Li Ju. After marriage, Li Ju gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son is Zhang Zhiyi, Zhang Ailing's father.
Zhang Zhiyi is a typical young master. Although educated in the west, he lived a luxurious life since childhood, so when the Zhang family began to decline, he had to rely on selling real estate and renting a house for a living.
When Zhang Zhiyi 19 years old, he married Huang Suqiong through family arrangement. Have a daughter after marriage, that is, Zhang Ailing. Huang Suqiong is a girl from a big family, and her grandfather is Huang Yisheng, the prefect of the Yangtze River Navy under Li Hongzhang.
Although Zhang Zhiyi and Huang Suqiong come from the same family, their marriage is not happy. Because Zhang Zhiyi is a young master and Huang Suqiong is a modern woman, they can't reach an agreement in their thoughts, so they often quarrel.
Zhang Zhiyi couldn't convince his tough wife, Huang Suqiong. After a long time, he married another wing outside.
Although Zhang Zhiyi and Huang Suqiong were at odds, fortunately, he was very kind to his daughter Zhang Ailing and gave Zhang Ailing a good educational environment.
1923, Zhang Zhiyi found a job on the Jin-Pu Railway, and Zhang Zhiyi, Huang Suqiong and Zhang Ailing's aunt Zhang Maoyuan moved to Tianjin.
From 65438 to 0924, 4-year-old Zhang Ailing began to enter private schools and received private education.
Also in 1924, the relationship between Zhang Zhiyi and Huang Suqiong broke down completely. In a fit of pique, Huang Suqiong left her daughter Zhang Ailing and followed Zhang Ailing's aunt Zhang Maoyuan to study in Britain. She left for four years.
As soon as Huang Suqiong left, Zhang Zhiyi took the side room home. What's more, Zhang Zhiyi and the side room were infected with opium.
All this happened, which made Zhang Ailing see in her eyes and left a deep impression on her young mind.
From 65438 to 0927, at the age of seven, Zhang Ailing began to write novels. The theme of her first novel was family tragedy.
Since her mother left, Zhang Ailing has been immersed in the pain of losing her mother's love. It was not until four years later, that is, 1928, that Huang Suqiong returned to China from abroad. Although her relationship with Zhang Zhiyi has not improved, it has brought some maternal love to Zhang Ailing.
Originally, Huang Suqiong was an educated woman with western education. She is a very talented woman, so Zhang Ailing learned a lot from her, such as painting, English, piano and so on.
1930, at the insistence of her mother, Huang Suqiong, Zhang Yiling was able to enter the sixth grade of Huang Primary School run by the American church. During this period, Zhang Yiling changed her name to Zhang Ailing.
Also in this year, Zhang Zhiyi and Huang Suqiong divorced. Zhang Ailing, who was only 10 years old, witnessed the breakdown of her family, which was not warm, and also saw her parents' divorce. Her heart hurts.
After her parents divorced, Zhang Ailing wanted to live with her mother Huang Suqiong. But Huang Suqiong refused. Of course, it's not that Huang Suqiong doesn't want to raise a daughter. It's just that she thinks Zhang Zhiyi's economic situation is better. For her daughter, it is better to follow Zhang Zhiyi than to live alone. Most importantly, despite her disagreement with Zhang Zhiyi, Zhang Zhiyi still cares about her daughter Zhang Ailing.
So Huang Suqiong decided to let Zhang Ailing live with her father Zhang Zhiyi.
The divorce of parents has a great influence on Zhang Ailing's mind.
Because in Zhang Ailing's view, her mother, Huang Suqiong, was originally a talented woman, but only because of the arranged marriage at home, she married someone who didn't love herself, which led Huang Suqiong to embark on a tragic road.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Ailing made a decision. She decided that she must find a good man who she really likes and really likes herself in the future. She can't be ruined by a failed marriage like her mother.
However, Zhang Ailing's decision is beautiful, but the fact is cruel. The ending of things is not as good as she expected, but worse than she imagined.
193 1 year, Zhang Ailing entered Shanghai Santa Maria Girls' School. At this time, through her constant writing and learning, her writing talent and talent gradually emerged. After that, Zhang Ailing kept publishing her works in school journals or magazines.
1934, another great event happened in Zhang Ailing's home.
When Zhang Zhiyi and Huang Suqiong got angry, they married a wing. Unexpectedly, this wing is more outrageous than Huang Suqiong. When Zhang Zhiyi and Huang Suqiong divorced, because the arrogance of the wing became more and more serious, Zhang Zhiyi drove her away in a rage.
Soon after, she married Sun Baoqi's daughter Sun, then Sun was 36 years old. After she married, she brought many benefits to the Zhang family.
For example, Sun not only brought a large amount of dowry, but the most important thing is that she has dignity, keeps good order and even listens to her.
With Sun's support and encouragement, he not only found a job, but also became a manager. At this time, Zhang Zhiyi made some achievements.
Originally, Sun was dignified and virtuous. As a stepmother, she still cares for Zhang Ailing. Zhang Ailing has a younger brother named Zhang Zijing.
Sun's family style is strict with boys. Therefore, after Sun arrived in Zhang's family, although there was no contradiction with Zhang Ailing, Sun still made great demands on him in order to make him promising in the future.
Sun's intention was good, but in Zhang Ailing's view, her stepmother was "abusing" her younger brother, so Zhang Ailing gradually fell out with her father and stepmother Sun, and even had a big fight with her stepmother.
In this case, Zhang Ailing often went to her mother, Huang Suqiong, to express her unhappiness and dissatisfaction, and also to seek some spiritual comfort.
1937 In the summer, Zhang Ailing graduated from Shanghai Santa Maria Girls' School. Not long after, on July 7th of the same year, the Lugouqiao Incident broke out, which opened the prelude to China's all-round war of resistance.
Shortly after the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, an extremely fierce battle broke out between China and Japan in Shanghai, that is, the Battle of Shanghai and Shanghai.
At this time, Zhang Zhiyi was working in a Japanese bank. He was worried that he would be classified as a traitor because of his work, so he resigned.
/kloc-0 At the end of 938, Zhang Ailing took the Far East Entrance Examination of University of London. The following year, Zhang Ailing won a scholarship from the University of London and prepared to study in the UK.
However, due to the fierce wars around the world at that time, Zhang Ailing was unable to study in Britain, and instead went to the College of Literature of the University of Hong Kong.
1942, due to the outbreak of the Pacific War, the war spread to Hong Kong, and the University of Hong Kong was closed. Zhang Ailing had to interrupt her studies and return to Shanghai.
At this time, due to Zhang Ailing's financial difficulties, Zhang Ailing embarked on the road of professional writer and became a professional writer in order to make a living and earn money to support herself.
Zhang Ailing's golden career was from 1943 to 1945, during which she published many works, which made her famous in Shanghai.
Zhang Ailing achieved success in her creation. At this time, there are not only people who are really happy for her, but also people who are hostile to her.
1In the early spring of 944, Zhang Ailing met Hu Lancheng.
Hu Lancheng studied hard in his early years, so he had a certain literary background. He is good at writing, but his character is very low. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, when Shanghai fell, he followed Wang Ching-wei, became the deputy director of the propaganda department of Wang puppet regime, and became a traitor.
After Zhang Ailing and Hu Lancheng met, although Zhang Ailing is 24 years old and hasn't been in love, Hu Lancheng is an expert in love.
So Zhang Ailing soon fell in love with Hu Lancheng.
People often say that women in love have zero IQ, which is really reasonable.
Although Zhang Ailing knew that Hu Lancheng had a wife, Hu Lancheng was very old and Hu Lancheng was a traitor, Zhang Ailing didn't think about it. At this time, all she wants is that Hu Lancheng can divorce his wife and live with her forever.
1944, Hu Lancheng divorced his wife and later married Zhang Ailing in Shanghai.
In fact, from the beginning, Zhang Ailing's marriage was doomed to be a tragic marriage.
Because Hu Lancheng is a traitor with no morals and a very decadent personal life.
Therefore, the marriage between Zhang Ailing and Hu Lancheng ended only after two years.
Before meeting Hu Lancheng, Zhang Ailing was very Chun Qing. She hoped to find a man she really loved and deeply loved at the same time, but it backfired.
Because the marriage with Hu Lancheng failed, it brought a great blow to Zhang Ailing and shattered her beautiful love.
1June, 947, Zhang Ailing understood that this was not love, but that Hu Lancheng was taking advantage of her, so she resolutely broke up with the fugitive Hu Lancheng.
After the liberation of Shanghai, Zhang Ailing did not go to Taiwan Province Province, but stayed in Shanghai.
1952, Zhang Ailing went to live in Hong Kong.
1953, Zhang Zhiyi died in Shanghai at the age of 57. Zhang Ailing didn't attend her father's funeral.
1955, Zhang Ailing left Hong Kong and settled in the United States.
1956 In March, 36-year-old Zhang Ailing met Yarra, a playwright 29 years older than him. On August/0/4 of the same year, Zhang Ailing and Yala got married.
1957, Huang Suqiong died in London, England, and Zhang Ailing failed to attend her mother's funeral.
Generally speaking, the marriage between Zhang Ailing and Yala is happy and harmonious, because Yala is much older than Zhang Ailing, but she is sincere and kind to Zhang Ailing.
1On October 8th, Yala passed away.
After Yala died, Zhang Ailing lived alone in America. 1972, she moved to los Angeles and began to live in seclusion.
When she lived alone in Los Angeles, she seldom saw and talked to outsiders. She doesn't even want to read her friends' letters. Later, due to serious mental illness, she moved 180 times in her later years.
Zhang Ailing lives alone in Los Angeles and doesn't want to communicate with outsiders, which doomed her to die alone.
1On September 8, 995, 75-year-old Zhang Ailing died alone in her apartment in Los Angeles and was found by her landlord. The important thing is that she has been dead for a week.
She is one of the four talented women in the Republic of China. She used to have infinite scenery, but in the end she died alone, leaving a sad ending, which is really embarrassing.
