He set up a study at home and invited the "teacher" to teach his eldest son Youlan, his second son Jinglan and his daughter Yuanjun ancient prose, arithmetic, writing and composition. At the age of 11 or 12, Feng Yuanjun was not only able to recite a lot of poems, but also to recite and fill in poems, so he was known as a "talented woman". Later, Feng Yuanjun's elder brother and second brother went to Beijing and Shanghai to study. At home, on the one hand, Feng Yuanjun made use of the books read by his father and brother to study hard, recite poems and write Fu; on the other hand, he read a lot of classical Chinese works and new newspapers and magazines brought back by his elder brother and second brother to accept new ideas.

Yuanjun's childhood

Feng Yuanjun's happy childhood was very short. When she was just 8 years old, her father Feng Shuhou died of cerebral hemorrhage in Chongyang County. It was the summer of 1908, the second year of Feng Shuhou's appointment as county magistrate of Chongyang. It was in his prime, but death took him away, despite his hurry and reluctance. Although Feng Yuanjun loved his father so much, and his heart was filled with the true feelings of the supreme respect, admiration and love for his father, but his life was inconstant, and things were sad.

In the years after his father died of illness, Feng Yuanjun, his mother and two elder brothers returned to the big family of his hometown in Tanghe County. Since then, she had to teach herself poetry with the help of her mother and her brothers. Before long, her two elder brothers left home one after another and went to Kaifeng and Shanghai to enter universities and secondary schools.

These two brothers of Feng Yuanjun are both students of the new school. They have accepted some new things in the school, and both of them are open-minded. As a result, Feng Yuanjun was gradually influenced by the new culture and new ideas because of their usual talk at home and the new style newspapers and periodicals sent from other places. She is no longer satisfied with living in the boudoir to study and practice calligraphy. She eagerly hopes to go to big cities to study, receive education and learn new cultural knowledge like her two elder brothers.

Coincidentally, the opportunity came from the sky. The Beiyang government decided to change the original women's normal school founded by Empress Dowager Cixi into Beijing Women's higher normal school, and began to recruit students in 1917. Feng Yuanjun was overjoyed when she heard the news. She and her brother convinced her mother to go to Beijing with her two brothers to apply for the exam. At that time, only Chinese was tested in the entrance examination of Beijing Women's normal university. Feng Yuanjun had a good foundation in learning Chinese since he was a child, so he naturally won the examination at one stroke. In this way, 17-year-old Henan girl Feng Yuanjun became the first group of female college students in China. Since then, Feng Yuanjun began a new school life.

Famous in Beijing

When Feng Yuanjun was studying in the National Women's Normal University of Beijing, it was the May 4th movement that swept the intellectual circles of China. The teachers of "trendy school" and "European and American School" brought new ideas to the women's normal university. Therefore, when the students of various universities in Beijing took to the streets one after another to protest against the imperialist invasion of China, the students of the women's Normal University of Beijing responded positively and joined the wave of the times In the great revolutionary upsurge. At that time, president Fang of Beijing Women's normal university was a stubborn old bureaucrat. He did not allow students to take part in patriotic processions on the street, ordered the school gate to be closed, and specially sent someone to put a big iron lock on the school gate. However, ignoring the strictness of the school, Feng Yuanjun was the first to lift a stone and smash the iron lock. The whole school rushed out to join the teachers and students of Peking University and Tsinghua University. This event made Feng Yuanjun gain a good reputation of bravery and fearlessness in Beijing Women's Normal University, and was praised by the majority of teachers and students.

The May 4th Movement against imperialism and feudalism awakened a generation of men and women with brains and achievements. Feng Yuanjun, a young woman who yearns for freedom and liberation in her heart, is inspired by this great movement. She bravely takes up the pen and adapts the Yuefu poem Peacock Flying Southeast into an ancient costume drama, and performs on the stage in person. She takes the initiative to play Jiao mu, a typical character of feudal autocratic parents (Feng Yuanjun's classmate Cheng Junying plays Liu Lanzhi and Sun Fei) You are Jiao Zhongqing and Chen dingxiu is my aunt. In China in the 1920s, female college students' acting on the stage was a very bold action, which was praised by Li Dazhao, the director of the play, and supported by Chen Dabei, director of drama magazine. It was the first time for female college students to perform on the stage in Beijing, so it caused a sensation in the whole city of Beijing. The performance was an unexpected success. It lasted for three days, and the grand occasion was unprecedented: the first day was full, and after the second day, even the windows were full. Teachers and students from Peking University and Tsinghua University also drove special cars to watch. Mr. Li Dazhao's wife and his daughter went to cheer on him. Mr. Lu Xun and Mr. Kawashima also came to see the play. The performance of "Peacock Flying Southeast" made Feng Yuanjun an eye-catching figure. Some people wrote that Feng Yuanjun was "famous in Beijing" at this time.

In addition to studying the songs of Chu, he also helped Liang Qichao to annotate the legend of Peach Blossom Fan.
