Zhou Shao in his later years.

1986, I work in Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House. In my spare time, I often see a burly, neatly dressed and dignified old man chatting with young people in the aisle outside the editing room. I asked my colleague curiously, "Who is this?" They told me that his name is Zhou Shao, and he is a special editor of our society. He works in one of the editing rooms, mainly editing and publishing literary masterpieces. At that time, he was seventy years old. My colleague mysteriously told me that he used to be Ann, a famous editor and writer in Shanghai in 1930s and 1940s, and his wife Mu was Dai Wangshu's ex-wife. This really aroused my curiosity. I was working in the second editing room, mainly editing and publishing literary research works. Since then, I have been free to listen to him and watch some of his works, and gradually have some understanding of his life story.

Registered lawyer

Before describing Zhou Shao's life in his later years, it is necessary to briefly describe his life experience and early deeds. Zhou Shao,1965438+Born in June 2006, Zhenhai, Zhejiang. His paternal family background was hardly mentioned by Zhou Shao when he became an adult, only that his grandfather was a squire. He died before he was born and grew up in his grandmother's house. Grandma's family is a scholarly family, which gives him a good reading environment. At the age of eleven, Zhou Shao went to the primary school affiliated to Shanghai Qingxin Middle School and lived in his uncle Zhang Liujia's home until he graduated from high school in June 1935. Zhang Lu 'an is a participating boss and a famous seal engraver, just like Chen Julai.

1In the autumn of 935, Zhou Shao was admitted to Shanghai Soochow University Law School. Soochow University was founded by the American Board of Supervisors in 1900. It has three colleges: College of Arts, College of Science and Law School. The College of Arts and Sciences is located in Suzhou, and the original campus is now Suzhou University. Law school is located in Kunshan Road, Hongkou, Shanghai. At that time, the law school offered preparatory courses, which stipulated that you had to prepare for one or two years at Soochow University in Suzhou before you could finish four or three five-year courses in Shanghai. Zhou Shao said to himself, "I was admitted to Soochow University to study pre-law in 1935, and my paper was blank. I hope I won't be admitted, but I can fulfill my long-cherished wish of studying liberal arts in Fusang, Du Dong. However, Wu, the dean of law school, is my cousin and an unforgettable friend, and wants to be my teacher. He made an exception by taking advantage of his authority to admit me as a white student and began to be a negative student for two semesters. (The shadow of Wumeng, dreaming in the Western Qin Dynasty, Guwuxuan Publishing House, 1999)

Zhou Shao studied law school preparatory course at Soochow University in Suzhou, so he became attached to Suzhou. Fenmen Collection (Shanghai Fenxi Bookstore,1940; Liaoning Education Publishing House (1996) published a collection of essays in his later years, Tunxi Dreaming, all named after Suzhou place names. At Soochow University, he joined the Ningbo Hometown Association and kept in close contact with Jiang Weiguo, an economics classmate who served as president in the same year. Jiang Weiguo lives in Nanyuan, not far from Suda, and Jiang Weiguo's former residence is still in Nanyuan Hotel. /kloc-in the summer of 0/940, Zhou Shao graduated with a bachelor's degree in law. In the winter of the same year, after being screened by Chongqing Lawyers Screening Association, he was qualified as a lawyer and entered the justice law firm in Yuanmingyuan Road near the Bund in Shanghai. After the Pacific War broke out on February 7th, the firm was dissolved.

Prior to this,1937165438+1October 12 occupied half of the Shanghai Concession north of Shanghai Huajie and Suzhou Creek. The French Concession in Shanghai and the half of the Shanghai Concession south of Suzhou River are occupied and occupied areas on all sides. It's just that the concession is a place that has not been controlled by Britain, France and other countries, just like an island in the sea, so it's called "island". The "isolated island" existed from this day until 194 1 65438+February 8, 2008 invaded the Shanghai Concession. Zhou Shao likes writing since he was a child. He contributed and published to the local newspaper at the age of 1 1, and then set foot in the literary world and began his editing career. He appeared in the "island" period.

1in the autumn of 936, he came to Shanghai to co-organize the bimonthly Tan Feng with Tao (1908- 1983), editor-in-chief of Cosmic Wind Society. It broke out the following year and was closed less than a year after publication. Tao Condra joined the Cosmic Wind Society as an editor, and made friends with a number of famous scholars such as Lao She, Yu Dafu, Zhou Zuoren, Feng Zikai, Yu Pingbo, Sister Liu, Zhao and Shi Zhecun. He also signed "Li Ji" and contributed to the supplement "Century Wind" of Wen Wei Po, which was founded by 1938, and got to know its editor-in-chief Tang Tao (19 13- 1992), so he co-wrote the collection of essays with Lu Xun and Feng.

Luxun Style Weekly was founded by Wang, Kong and Jin in 1939 65438+ 10 for the purpose of inheriting the style of Luxun's essays. Bian Gu Ji contains six essays (Jin) and Feng Zi (Tang Tao) 18, which are divided into six volumes. In addition to the six people in Change, Hengmei Collection adds another realm of Confucius. "Biangu Collection" refers to the fierce Biangu played to save the nation and survive, which comes from "a deep and urgent voice from a heavy heart". The title of "Hengmei Collection" is taken from Lu Xun's sentence "Hengmei coldly refers to a thousand fingers". In the preface of "The Collection of Cross Eyebrows", Kong represents the main purpose of writing: "Not only should we reconcile with the bad tendencies of all walks of life in China", but we should also bear the responsibility of exposing and debunking the ugly acts and plots of foreign invaders ".

Editor in Chief of Cosmic Wind

Zhou Shao was diligent in writing. In addition to his collection, his personal works include Qingming Collection (Shanghai Cosmic Wind Society, 1938), Wu Gou Collection (Shanghai Cosmic Wind Society, 1938) and Fahua Collection (Shanghai Yonglin Bookstore, 19468). His Qingming Collection consists of six articles, which narrates the historical events of Ming and Qing Dynasties, takes history as a mirror, and satirizes the present with reference to the past, which is full of practical significance. For example, the occupations of two officials in the early Qing Dynasty directly denounced: "We call people who bow down to their enemies" or "puppets". Since the beginning of history, when China was under the control of foreign countries, there have always been these ugly people. It is really "it has existed since ancient times, and it is fierce today." All his works were first published in Cosmic Wind. Cosmic Wind was first published in the autumn of 1935, and finally published in the Pacific War of 194 1. It was an influential publication at that time, with a sales volume of 45,000 copies, second only to Life and Oriental. Edited by Lin Yutang, Tao and Zhou Shao. Later, Lin Yutang went to America and Tao went, which was edited by Zhou Shao alone.

From 1936 to 194 1, Zhou Shao also served as the editor-in-chief of Tan Feng, Cosmic Wind B and What's Going on in the World in Shanghai. 1939, editor-in-chief of Sea Breeze, a supplement of Shanghai Circular; 1940 served as the editor of western literature of western literature monthly. From 1940 to 194 1, he is also the editor of Lu Xun Feng Weekly of Shanghai Lu Xun Feng Society. From these resumes, we can see how active Zhou Shao was in the literary world. Chen Qingsheng said: "Zhou Li An and Moon Jae in are famous essay writers of Lu Xun's style in the isolated island period. They actively promote patriotism and severely condemn all kinds of behaviors, and are recognized as "academic" writers. " (Literature in Shanghai Period, Shanghai Publishing House, 1995) He not only corresponded with Jin at that time, but also almost influenced Jin's later life (see below).

After the fall of the "isolated island", all the activities of the Japanese aggressors were harsh, and the fate of China people living in the occupied areas changed dramatically, resulting in cultural division. Scholars who stayed in Shanghai, such as Xu Guangping and Ling Ke, were indomitable and did not cooperate with the Japanese puppet government. Or write behind closed doors, some can make a living by teaching, such as Qian Zhongshu's two masterpieces "Talking about Art" and "Besieged City", and some can only live a poor life, such as Tan Zhengbi (this may be the majority); Or, like Shu Yuan and Guan Ju, they sneaked into the Japanese puppet government and engaged in the cause of God at the expense of their reputation. Others, such as Hu Lancheng and Liu Yusheng, take the initiative to become a culture. Zhou Shao and Moon Jae in knew it was disgraceful to work for Wang Pseudo, but they still became idle literati. From 1942 to 1944, Zhou Shao was the editor and chief editor of Shanghai Gujin Publishing House. Gujin 1942 was founded in March by Zhu Pu (1902- 1970), the former vice minister of the puppet Ministry and the deputy minister of government affairs. It was a monthly magazine at the earliest, and the ninth issue was changed to a bimonthly one. Zhu Pu has a close relationship with, claiming that "Mr. Zhou is my better friend" (simple letter from Park Garden, Park Garden Diary, Dolphin Publishing House, 20 12). In the article "Ancient and Modern Years", he said: "Mr. Zhou Hai is the most helpful and powerful person. In the past two years, he not only wrote articles for ancient and modern times, making them more warmly welcomed by readers, but also always gave spiritual and material help whenever ancient and modern times encountered difficulties. "

Ancient and Modern mainly publishes anecdotes and essays about literature and history, but many of them are Wang's forgeries. Wang Jingwei's Story of an Old Friend, Zhou Hai's Journey to Guangzhou, Fusang's Birthday Back to the Past, Reading the vicissitudes of life through ups and downs, The Story of Hard Learning and Chen Gongbo's Shanghai Beach have been published in ancient and modern times. As the editor-in-chief, An said in the postscript of the extra-large edition of "Ancient and Modern": "What is particularly commendable is that Mr. Wang of the National Government, with his efforts day and night, took time to write for the commemorative number, which is not only the unique glory of this magazine, but also a major event in the history of Chinese literature." "Another special contribution of this issue is Mr. Zhou Hai's. In the article "Ancient and Modern Years", Li Zhou 'an wrote: "The success of these two years in ancient and modern times can be said to be a success. Needless to say, one of the people who contributed to the ancient and modern status is Mr. Zhou Hai. Whenever there is something wrong with his words, we always print more, but they are still sold out. " These words are exactly the same as Zhu Puzhi's. Therefore, people naturally regard "Ancient and Modern" as a publication of Zhou Hai, that is, a publication.

Zhou Shao is the backbone of ancient and modern times. Zhu Pu's "Two Years of Ancient and Modern Times" said: "When it was first published in ancient and modern times, ... there were only three editors and writers. One is himself, and the other two are just Tao Kant and Li Zhouan. "Zhou Shao has been the editor-in-chief of Ancient and Modern since the third issue of Ancient and Modern. Zhu Pu said: "There is not a day when Ang Lee and I don't work in the club, no matter the wind and rain, the cold and the heat, we never stop. "It can be said that Zhou Shao has made the greatest contribution to ancient and modern times. In order to run "Ancient and Modern" well, he also invited Jin to help. Jin became an unsigned editor of Ancient and Modern and went there for half a day every day. The last article published by Jin before his death was "Mourning for Lian" written in 2003, in which he wrote that he met Zhou Shao because of the essays written in Century Wind. Later, Zhu Pu and Zhou Shao combined the book "Ancient and Modern" and said: "Zhu Pu has no money or power, but because he has taken refuge in Zhou Hai, he has also been financially guaranteed and has become a senior diners in Zhoumen." Kim reflected on himself: "I'm almost there, and I'm willing to go against it in the future." Because the original work of Century Wind is innocent, as an unsigned editor of Ancient and Modern, there is a clear distinction in history. Being scolded after victory is also self-inflicted. Everyone should be responsible for his actions. I met it myself. Because I am smoking at this time and need money. This is really a pity. Many mistakes in my life come from this. "

In addition to editing manuscripts, Zhou Shao also published literary and historical works such as Zhang Taiyan and his anecdotes, Recalling Yu Dafu, and The Birth of Emperor Qianlong in Qing Dynasty. Influenced by Zhou Shao's "Ancient and Modern",1April, 942, some people thought that Zhou Shao "had a good reputation for publishing in Shanghai before, and now he has taken part in the work of peaceful transportation", "in the name of simple treatment, he was appointed as a simple Commissioner of the secretariat of the Wang Puppet Society"; 1944 was appointed as "Commissioner of Investigation Department of Reserve Bank" by Wang Pseudo, but Zhou Shao did not arrive at his post.

1944 10 The 57th issue of Ancient and Modern was published and then closed. At the end of the article, Zhu Pu "invited Ann and Moon Jae in to have a light meal, and let's not talk about" ancient and modern ".There are still trivial matters to be discussed; In the past two years, I have been in the same boat through thick and thin, and I can't help but talk about my feelings "(Diary of Garden-The Story of Double Ninth Festival, Diary of Garden, Dolphin Press, 20 12). This shows the close relationship between Zhou Shao and Zhu Pu. Zhu Pu later settled down and engaged in calligraphy and painting. Lu Hao, a reporter from Wen Wei Po, asked Zhou Shao one day why he wanted to participate in the editing of Ancient and Modern. Zhou Shaohui said, "In the final analysis, there are four words: greed and fear of death. "

While running a publication, from 1940 to 1944, Zhou Shao still worked as a lawyer in Shanghai, and his main life still depended on the income of lawyer business.

After the victory, liquidation. Tao and Zhou Zuoren, who co-edited "Ancient and Modern" with Zhou Shao and founded the ancient and modern publishing house with Japanese background and Taiping Bookstore, were put into prison as "culture" and Taiping Bookstore was designated as an enemy-occupied area. Although in the book "Culture" signed by Sima Wenzhen published by Shanghai Shuguang Publishing House194511June, Ann, Tao, Hu Lancheng and four people were listed as "culture", Zhou Shao left early and did not take the post of Wang Pseudo, so they were not liquidated. From 1945 to 1949, Zhou Shao joined Shanghai Tianheng Law Firm, located in Sichuan Zhonglu, specializing in lawyer business and handling civil and criminal proceedings. He handled housing disputes for Mr. Mao Dun and wrote Twilight Sketch in his later years. During this period, he left the literary world, stopped writing and took part in literary and artistic activities.

In the great trend of the times

Zhou Shao's deeds before Shanghai are mostly found in his own memories and related records, and Cai Dengshan and others have also mentioned them. His later deeds were written by Cai Dengshan and others, and are unknown. According to relevant records, they are summarized as follows.

Shortly after the fall of Shanghai, the lawyer system was abolished, and Zhou Shao resigned after teaching history in Hong Xue for one semester. 1950 In July, he joined the private Zhengguanghe soda company as a consultant, drafted the articles of association, and soon became the deputy manager. Being unfamiliar with his business, Zhou Shaomeng quit his job. 1956 65438+Joined Shanghai Talent Association in February and transferred to Shanghai Culture Publishing House as an editor. His old friend Kong Youjing was then the deputy director of the editorial department of Shanghai Culture Publishing House. Jin was transferred from Shanghai Culture Publishing House to the newly established Classical Literature Publishing House (the predecessor of Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House) on June 1956 165438. 1June, 957, Zhou Shao joined the promotion association through the introduction of Mi Yiqun and Jin. In the same year, Zhou Shao published a popular book with pictures based on Guan Hanqing's original book Wangjiangge in Shanghai Culture Publishing House. In May this year, Zhu Pu came to Shanghai for a week as a famous painter and painter, and met Zhou Shao that evening. "I was so excited to see you that I couldn't speak for a moment." Next, Zhou Shao has four days to accompany him. One day, "Li 'an paid a visit to Yao of the same sex in the afternoon, and Yao of the same sex was much more proud than ten years ago" (A Week in Shanghai and Park Garden Day, ditto). Compared with Jin, Zhou Shao's comfortable life is short. 1September, 958, Shanghai Culture Publishing House reported to the relevant departments of Shanghai for approval and sent it to Anhui for reeducation through labor. 1965 1 month, with the approval of Anhui provincial bureau, Zhou Shao "dismissed and stayed in the team for employment". 197565438+February, Zhou Shao was approved by the relevant departments of Anhui Province to "transfer from his post and enjoy public office". 1March, 976, Zhou Shao was assigned to work in Chengdu Leather Hardware Cooperative Store under the Shanghai Company.

1977165438+10, the Shanghai Municipal Committee decided to restore the organizational system of Shanghai Publishing Bureau and various publishing houses. 1 97865438+1October1,Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House resumed its original name. Because Shanghai Culture Publishing House has already been merged into Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House, Zhou Shao also "returned to the team" and entered the compilation of Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House until he retired in May 1985. Zhou Shao asked to review his own historical problems. 1980165438+10, Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House thought that the historical problems in the period of the Puppet Manchuria in Zhou Dynasty "should not be faced squarely and corrected". Therefore, it is suggested that the higher authorities revoke Zhou Shao's dismissal and dismissal decision in that year.

Walk into Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House

1978 65438+ 10/0/Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House was established on the basis of Shanghai Editorial Institute of Zhonghua Book Company. Li Junmin, the old president, actively recruited old editors, and Jin worked as an editor in Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House. Probably because of his recommendation, Zhou Shao, who resumed his editing status, did not return to work in Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House, but was hired as an editor by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House from 1979. Zhou Shao went to the Ancient Books Publishing House to edit his favorite classical literary works; At the same time, the interpersonal relationship and academic atmosphere of the ancient books publishing house make him feel at home and give full play to his talents. Li Junmin is a loyal elder who dares to use talents. At that time, there were many editors who were similar to Zhou Shao's generation. He met Wang Mian (Kun) who had just resumed his editing status and returned to work in the Ancient Books Publishing House. In the same year as Jin, both of them belong to the Dragon Zodiac and are famous for studying the history and literature of Ming and Qing Dynasties. Li is the director of an editorial department where Zhou Shao works. He is extremely serious and responsible for editing and has a strong interest in the history and literature of Ming and Qing Dynasties. Many books edited by Zhou Shao are controlled by her.

Zhao Changping, the succeeding director of editorial department, is the first graduate student of Mr. Shi Zhecun, and Zhou Shao is honored as "Shi Shu". Zhou Shao is a little strict with his family and treats young editors equally. Young editors either called him "Duke Zhou" or jokingly called him "Old Man Zhou". Editor Ding Ruming remembers that after Zhou Shao retired, he once went to the club with the help of his son and sat in the lobby downstairs, asking Ding Ruming to go down and talk. While they were talking, his son suddenly cut in. He flew into a rage and scolded, "It's rude of you to interrupt when we adults are talking!" In fact, his son is about the same age as Ding Ruming, at most three or four years old. Ding Ruming is a little embarrassed and sorry. During his ten years working in the ancient books publishing house, Zhou Shao was mainly engaged in the review of ancient books manuscripts, and he was responsible for editing more than 40 kinds of books. Among them, Fan Nan Wen Ji, Yan Men Ji, Jie Gai Si Ji, Gao Qing Qiu Ji, Chen Zilong Poetry Ji, Mu Chu Xue Ji, Mu You Xue Ji, Mu Za Zhu, Wu Meicun Ji, Gu Shi Zhu, An Ya Ji and Fang Bao Ji are included. Because of his full reading of poetry books, his stomach is deep and his manuscript is wide and fast. 198865438+February, it was recommended by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, and its editorial qualification was approved by the Shanghai Publishing Professional Senior Job Evaluation Meeting.

Men resume business.

While editing, Zhou Shao also participated in the collation of some ancient books. Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House published Cha Jing Ye Tang Poetry (all three volumes, 1986), Yao Xie Fu Zhuang Poetry (all two volumes, 1988) and Historical Records (all three volumes, 1988). In his later years, he returned to Mrs. Feng's career, and wrote many essays with rambling literature and history and recalling the past, such as Essays at Dusk (Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, 1995), Dreaming in a Dream (Guwuxuan Publishing House, 1999) and Essays Towards the Evening (Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, 2000). Zhou Shao's poems of Qing Dynasty, especially those of Qing Dynasty poets Wu and Wu, are called "Wu Chonghuang". He once told Ding Ruming that when he went, he actually brought a collection of two people, and their poems accompanied him through a long time.

"Spring and Summer of Qing Poetry" was signed by Li Zhouan. He divided the poems of Qing Dynasty into four seasons and narrated the stories of poets in the early and middle period of Qing Dynasty by writing essays. This is one of Poem Square published by Zhonghua Book Company () Co., Ltd., April edition 1990, and inland edition 199 1 published by Jiangsu Ancient Books Publishing House. This set of books is edited by Jin. This set of books also includes Jin's The Book of Songs. China Mandarin in Ming and Qing Dynasties is one of the series of Distinguishing Old Words published by Liaoning Education Press 1998. In addition, Jin's Ghost in the Sixth Palace and Kun's Women in the Deep Palace of Windsor are also among the series. Zhou Shao writes quickly and tells stories with ease. Most of his works are written during sports breaks.

1987 65438+In February, Shanghai Bookstore Press hired three retired editors, Zhou Shao, Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House Yang Youren and Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House Wang Zhiyi, as special editors of China Modern Literature Series. China Modern Literature Series is edited by Fan Quan, an old friend of Zhou Shao. Fan Quan is an experienced old publisher and has set up a powerful editorial committee for this series, including Shi Zhecun and other experts in various fields. There are two young editors in the editing room, Gong Jianxing and Zheng Xiaofang. Gong Jianxing was later transferred to Xinmin Evening News as the editor of the supplement Luminous Cup, and became famous under the pen name Xipo. Zheng's granddaughter (1901-1998) was transferred from her hometown in Fujian to take care of Zheng's daily life, and then transferred to china welfare institute Publishing House for editing. At that time, a place was set aside in the dining hall above the Shanghai Bookstore on Fuzhou Road, and a writing desk and bookcase were put there for editing. After years of efforts by young and old editors, 30 volumes of China Modern Literature Series with 20 million words were published on 199 12. 1997, which won the honorary prize of the third book award.

In order to open the topic, Zhou Shao suggested to Zhao Changping that the columns such as Cosmic Wind, Autobiography Chapter, Human History and Celebrity should be compiled into a book, Unforgettable Memories, which will be published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House. 1999. This book brings together the life fragments of intellectuals such as Cai Yuanpei, Zhou Zuoren, Lao She, Yu Dafu and Xu Zhimo, which is not only of historical value, but also readable. Influenced by this book, I planned 10 series of famous periodicals, and selected famous periodicals such as Yusi, Crescent Moon, Taibai, Cosmic Wind, Human Life, Modern Times and Vientiane, among which Dai Wangshu was selected, and Zhou Shao specially accompanied Dai Wangshu's daughter Dai Suyong to our agency to collect samples.

In addition to colleagues, Zhou Shao's friends in his later years included Shi Zhecun and his young friends Lu Hao and Gong Jianxing. Zhou Shao liked playing cards when he was young and sparrows in his later years. Professor Chen Zishan from East China Normal University recalled that his father, Chen Xinmin, "had a close relationship with Li Zhou 'an, because they had worked in Zhengguang and Soda Factory. In my memory, from the end of1970s to the end of1980s, Li Zhouan often came to my humble abode to drink and chat with my father. Later, my father and mother often went to play with Ann and Mu "(Chen Zishan's No Diary, Shandong Pictorial Publishing House, 2022).

Zhou Shao often visited Mr. Shi Zhecun in his later years. Chen Julai's work Memories of An Zhi Characters was commissioned by Shi Zhecun before his death, and Shi Zhecun gave it to Zhou Shao for publication. Lu Hao and others compiled Vientiane for Liaoning Education Publishing House, and Zhou Shao serialized Vientiane, and then published it in a separate book, which became famous for a while. Zhou Shao also wrote seal cutting in Chen Julai and Zhejiang, tobacco notes and Vientiane has a year in the 1930s. He and Mr. Shi have a common hobby of smoking cigars. Mr. Shi sent several Havana cigars to Zhou Shao, who was reluctant to smoke them and kept smoking them. Later, he smoked cigars, and Ding Ruming bought them box by box in a cigarette shop in Xujiahui. What he wants is the more expensive brand produced by Tongxiang cigar factory, a pack of 10 sticks, and the triangle is 6 cents. He doesn't want to buy it, but he wants a package at a low price of 27 cents. Later, Tongxiang Tobacco Factory closed down, and he sighed. Of course, this is the price in the early 1980s.

After Zhou Shao retired, he borrowed a room from Shanghai Literature and Art Publishing House and lived alone. The house is on Jiashan Road. I have been there. I remember the pavilion in the middle of the building, with a living room and a bedroom. He hung a plaque of "Wu" in the closet, and also hung a photo of him and his wife Mu when they were young on the partition. He is in good health and insists on taking a cold bath in winter. He likes drinking and suffered from gout in his later years. Mu Lijuan forbade him to drink, but he still refused to listen and invited young editors to drink together. He is inconvenient to walk because of gout. He went out on crutches and lost several teeth. A young colleague joked with him: "A toothless (shameful) person is easy to walk." He felt that it was not enough and smiled. The more young people run on him, the happier he is. Zhou Shao likes watching TV plays at night. There was once a "Qing Palace Drama" that was well known. After reading it, he wrote a miscellaneous feeling and sent it to Xinmin Evening News Luminous Cup for publication. Kun's article "Huai Zhou Shao" notes: "Zhou Jun tasted the cloud, but with a bottle of wine and a pen, words can stand in an instant. Even so, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes if you don't check the literature, so the smell is doubtful. Zhou Jun didn't care, but wrote this angrily. " However, shortly after Zhou Shao's death, The Glowing Cup also published his preserved manuscript.

Mu Lijuan in her later years.

Zhou Shao and Mu Lijuan

Writing about Zhou Shao and Mu is an unavoidable topic. The stories of Mu and Dai Wangshu are described in many books. Mu was interviewed as Dai Wangshu's ex-wife and Mrs. Zhou Shao, and Xinmin Weekly published Mu Zhimei Mu: Divorced from Dai Wangshu and Accompanied by An in June 201kloc-0/5.

Mu, a native of Cixi, Zhejiang Province, was born in an industrialist family in 19 17. 1935 graduated from Shanghai Nanyang Girls' Middle School. Mu Lijuan's eldest brother is Mu Shiying (1912-1940). Mu Shiying, Liu Naou and Shi Zhecun are all famous writers of the New Sensation School in 1930s. 1935 In April, Dai Wangshu (1905-1950) returned to Shanghai from France and lived in an apartment with Liu Naou and Mu Shiying. At this time, Shi Jiangnian (Shi Zhecun's sister), Dai Wangshu's fiancee who had been in love for eight years, had another love, and everyone sympathized with him. So Mu Shiying introduced his sister Mu Lijuan to Dai Wangshu.

The couple got married in Shanghai Xinya Hotel on June 1936. Mu, 19 years old, married Dai Wangshu, 12 years older than himself. After marriage, she gave birth to a daughter Dai, with many nicknames. 1939, Dai Wangshu came with his wife and daughter. Due to the differences in age, experience and personality, their relationship has been in crisis. 1in June, 940, Mu Shiying, then president of Wang Puppet National News Agency, was arrested by secret agents in Shanghai. Dai Wangshu forbade Mu to go back to Shanghai to attend the funeral. In the winter of the same year, Mu Lijuan's mother died in Shanghai. Mu returned to Shanghai to attend the funeral despite Dai Wangshu's obstruction. 1943 1 month, the two divorced.

After Mu returned to Shanghai, Ann, who had known Mu Shiying for a long time, often came to see her and chat with her. Li Zhou 'an was one year older than Mu and still single. At that time, he was very prosperous in Shanghai. He fell in love with Mu Li Juan. 1943 March 15, they got married at Shanghai Golden Gate Hotel. On April of the same year, Liu Yusheng, who was the master of ceremonies at the wedding, wrote The Marriage of a Literati, which recorded the wedding scene of two people. There are quotations in Cai Dengshan, so I won't repeat them here. A young colleague jokingly accused Zhou Shao of being unloved. He smiled and said, "This is the return of the Pearl to Hepu. The countryside where Mu Lijuan and I used to live is only separated by a river, that is, the front and back villages. " His hometown Zhenhai is close to Cixi, and he is also a fellow villager. In the 1990s, Liu Cunren (Liu Yusheng), who settled in Australia and became a famous scholar, always told us when he came to Shanghai, and asked us to arrange for him to meet and talk with Zhou Shao.

Mu and Zhou Shao have three daughters and one son after marriage. 1949, Mu went out to work and proofread in Classical Literature Publishing House. After Zhou Shao went to work in Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, Mu also came to the club from time to time, and sometimes participated in the tourism inspection activities of the Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House Branch of the Promotion Association with Zhou Shao. Kim used to be the director of this branch.

Zhou Shao spent his last days in the old house. He and Mu are building a house in an old Shikumen on Jiangyin Road in Shanghai. I have been there. I remember it was on the second floor, with the window facing the west road. After Zhou Shao's death, my colleagues and I went to express our condolences on behalf of Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House. Mu told us that after Zhou Shao got sick, he didn't want to stay in the hospital, so he lay at home and let Mu accompany him to the end.

In August 2022, Mu Lijuan died at the age of 103.

Gao keqin

They were all married in the same year as the dragon man and the dragon woman. It's about sharing tables in Shanghai. After reading "Marriage between Men and Women", I hope this will help everyone!
