Take the lead

Maoxiaolu (1909-1988), also known as Xiaolu, was born in Rugao, Jiangsu Province. He is a descendant of Genghis Khan, one of the "four sons" in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and the third son of maoheting, a famous Confucian in the Republic of China.

Mr. maoxiaolu has a deep family background. He studied the classics and history when he was young, liked poetry and prose, and was known as a talented man. His early poems were praised by Kang Youwei and Chen Baochen. Later, he sang with ye gongchuo, Hu Hanmin, Zhang Shizhao and other celebrities. Mr. heting was also deeply pleased that his three sons risked to learn from Lu Neng.

Personage introduction

In 1925, at the age of 17, maoxiaolu entered the Russian Language Institute in Beijing. Five years later, he graduated with the first academic achievement and entered Harbin University of law and politics. In 1933, he went to the Chinese Embassy in the Soviet Union with Yan Huiqing as a secretary, working as an interpreter for the ambassador.

He once participated in the all Soviet writers' conference presided over by Gorky. Academician aleksheyev, an authoritative sinologist, called him "a rare general product among Chinese people in his life." Proficient in English, French, Russian and other foreign languages, especially Russian. He has proofread and translated Donbas, Genghis Khan, Turgenev's commentary and other works.

According to the memory of maoxiaolu's daughter, Xu Beihong and his ex-wife Jiang Biwei came to the Soviet Union in 1934 to hold an art exhibition, and his father maoxiaolu was an obligatory translator. Xu painted a bamboo horse on the spot in the embassy. After painting, he asked his father to write a poem. Mr. Ge Gongzhen sent the poem and the painting to the domestic newspaper for publication. Xu's painting of Ma Chi is famous both at home and abroad. Once marshal bujoni (1883-1973) told his father that he wanted to paint, but Xu was willing to give it to him? As a result, Xu mankou agreed, and buqiongni repeatedly expressed his thanks. After Xu returned home, he painted another one and asked his father to transfer it to marshal bujoni. He also said humbly, "the last painting was sketchy, but it didn't look like it, so he painted another one to make up for the deficiency..." Before he left, Xu gave his father one of the most proud horses in the exhibition, with the title of "Xiao Lu Xian, poet jiancundi, visiting Moscow when he was sad".

Life experience

In 1935, at the request of the Soviet Union, Mei Lanfang, a master of Chinese Peking Opera, performed in the Soviet Union. The repertoire and living arrangements of Mei Opera Company in Moscow were entrusted by Mei to ge Gongzhen and Mao Xiaolu, and the repertoire was agreed with the national music stage performance association of the Soviet Union. Mao Xiaolu was Mei Lanfang's escort and interpreter. They were inseparable and went to Lenin's tomb together to pay a visit and lay a wreath of flowers. Mei Diao's Allegro of "exploring his mother" also led Mao Xiaolu to match him with Si Lang, which was well-known by the Embassy at that time.

In Mei Yan's the legend of the White Snake, when the bridge is broken and the water is overflowing the mountain, there is an action of "abdominal pain", which implies that the mother is in labor and frequently touches her abdomen. Lu Jinyan says that this is reminiscent of the scene of childbirth, which is always not beautiful. May later played down her abdominal pain on stage.

A close friend with Qian Zhongshu

As a talented man of the Republic of China, he was a good young master of the Mao family. At that time, he had the spirit of looking above the top and dominating the world. Mr. Chen julai (1905-1984), a modern Chinese seal cutter, ranked Mr. Mao Xiaolu among the top ten madmen in his memoirs of Anzhi characters. Mao Xiaolu is most congenial to Qian Zhongshu, another arrogant scholar in modern China.

In 1938, Lu fengdiao returned to China by way of Europe and met Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang in Marseilles in France, which made him a perfect couple. From then on, his poems and poems kept in constant contact. Dong xiechuan in Qian Zhongshu's besieged city is based on Mao Xiaolu. In Qian Zhongshu's Huai Ju Shi Cun, his poems with maoxiao Lu are the most popular; in maoxiao Lu's Shuzi Shi draft, his poems with Qian Zhongshu are the most popular. Mao Xiaolu said to Qian Zhongshu that "I was once a poet, but I couldn't fill in the difficult words", which shows Mao's respect for money. After the completion of Tan Yi Lu, Qian Zhongshu wrote a letter to Mao Xiaolu, saying: "the completion of this book is really at the command of my brother. If there is any writing disaster, I'm afraid that my brother will commit intentional crime. Ha ha It can be seen that money respects risk. Interestingly, Qian and Mao respect each other, love each other and praise each other. Qian Zhongshu's wife Yang Jiang is a writer, while he Qiaohua is a painter. A gifted man and a gifted woman are made by nature. Qian Zhongshu wrote a poem entitled "the picture album of his uncle's wife he Qiaohua", praising he Qiaohua as a "peerless person" and a "brilliant hand". In addition, his brother-in-law's fifty years of reading Premier's poems and sending them to Anhui Province, he said: "however, the fat talents and the women are together, and the pink bamboo, the gold and the pine are in the cold." Maoxiaolu's 1947 book "a gift from Mingzuo to Mutun" says: "Huihui pities her daughter, but she has a father's style." In 1955, it was reported in the book of "the last ten days after the last nine days of silent memory" that "several times I looked to the north and leaned on the dangerous column, and there were hundreds of new poems in my sleeves. If you want to add incense, people will be like jade, and the laver will ward off evil and cold overnight. " Self note: "it's called Madam Yang Jiang." Praise Yang Jiang.

What's more interesting is that Qian and Mao are close friends, but they are enemies. Mao Xiaolu's "sending Mocun to give lectures in central Hunan" says: "I have few friends, but I hate it's too late to have children Think back and talk about art, resist Yan Si's argument. I'm proud of the sage, and I don't know what I mean. Every time he sighed, he failed repeatedly. It's hard to catch up, but the aftertaste is still bitter. " This poem reflects that Qian and Mao have different opinions and do not give in to each other. It's commendable that they don't think it's too much to argue with each other. On the contrary, they think it's fun and they have a lot of aftertaste. Mr. Yang Jiang once even told Mao Huaibin, the daughter of Mao Xiaolu, that the relationship between your uncle Qian and your father is so good. Fortunately, your father is a man, not a woman. If you don't see him one day, you will walk around the house three times!

Care for the country

When the Anti Japanese war broke out, Mao Shuyan, the eldest son of maoheting in Rugao and the eldest brother of maoxiaolu, retreated to Chongqing with the national government, actively participated in the Anti Japanese national salvation movement, went to Yan'an as a reporter, visited Mao Zedong, Zhu De, etc., positively reported on the Yan'an border region, created the Anti Japanese war drama Dong Xiaowan, and performed in Chongqing, the capital of China.

Perhaps because of his contacts with Wang Jingwei's grandfather and father, the maoxiaolu in the enemy occupied area became a counselor of the Wang puppet government in Nanjing in 1942. It has been said in the society that the maojia in Rugao is a double bet. When Qian Zhongshu knew this, he wrote a poem "reply to an uncle" to persuade Mao Xiaolu not to fall into too deep a state: "the dragon's nature is not tamed in the official mind, and the scholar endures poverty. Lian feilan turned back to his crazy hand and stood up to wave his body.

Jiumu's reputation is still tired, and he laughs to whom in social life. The white head and the green temples are private, and the meaning of the words is not extended Taking Lu as an example, he was deeply moved by Qian Zhongshu's "tactful general words" and expressed his sincere and sincere feelings. He wrote his poem "Ci Da Mo Cun Jian Ji" to express that he would never fail Qian Zhongshu's good advice: "who can tame the white gull, who can save the poor. And wait for a long song to talk about the day, but is there no one who knows what I mean? Life and death, teachers and friends of the word rather negative, dirty feelings you most true. Old willow white door gradually fade, Acacia Linji dream spring.

Taking advantage of Lu is to keep his promise to his best friend. Later, he served as the Commissioner of administrative supervision of the puppet government of Wangji. He was still idle and had no evil deeds. He helped the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in private. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, in 1945, maoheting, the father of maoxiao Lu, was employed by the Nanjing National Government to write and repair the National History Museum. On the eve of the founding of new China, Mao Shuyan, the elder brother of Mao Xiaolu, went to Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, where he later served as director, special committee member and researcher of the head office of the people's Bank of China. After the liberation of Shanghai, Chen Yi knew that maoheting, a great Confucian of the Republic of China, lived in Shanghai and paid a special visit. Mao heting was surprised to see that the commander of the New Fourth Army and the new mayor of Shanghai were so courteous and courteous. Mao Xiaolu was so polite and modest when he served tea. With a smile, Chen Yi took the tea cup from maoxiaolu and said to Yan Wenwei, "I know you have done something in the Wang puppet government, but we have done it. We understand that you have never done anything evil or good. At present, new China is full of waste, you can show your intelligence.

After that, Chen Yi appointed Mao heting as a member of the Shanghai Municipal Commission for the preservation of cultural relics to solve the problem of his father and son's source of livelihood; Mao Xiaolu was soon employed as a professor of Fudan University in Shanghai. In 1957, when Mao heting went to Beijing to live with his eldest son, Mao Shuyan, he was treated with courtesy by Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai. Mao Zedong highly praised the national integrity of Mao in the late Ming Dynasty. The people's Government of Rugao county has repaired the former residence of Dong Xiaowan in the northeast corner of Rugao ancient city, which is a part of the people's Park for tourists to visit (Rugao water painting park was announced as a national key cultural relics protection unit by the state on January 25, 2001). Rugao maojia, gongfeng heyday, splendid and prosperous.

Before maoxiaolu went to Anhui University, the whole family took a group photo for the last time (from the left in the front row: he Qiaohua, wife of maoxiaolu, maoheting, maohuaikang, maoxiaolu, old father of maoxiaolu; from the left in the back row: maohuaike, maohuaigong, maohuaibin, maohuaigu, maohuaiguan).

After liberation, Mao Xiaolu not only worked in the Foreign Language Department of Fudan University, but also served as the special editor of the commercial press and the Russian professor of the commercial college. In 1958, in order to support the establishment of Anhui University, Lu Feng transferred Anhui University to teach. For the sake of new China's education, he is duty bound to move his family to Hefei. The 86 year old Mao heting couldn't help crying because he couldn't give up his son to leave Shanghai. Before he left, his family took a group photo at the best Vientiane photo studio in Shanghai. This is the last photo of Mao heting's life. Maoxiaolu is one of the first few professors to participate in the establishment of Anhui University. The University also took care of the students who went to Fudan University, such as Lu et al. They allocated spacious houses and the best furniture. What makes maoxiaolu happy is that he has a study of nearly 20 square meters. All his life, he loved books as much as his life. He encouraged himself by saying that he had a limit in life but no limit in learning. In addition, in the newly built campus, there are many crickets. Lu has a childlike heart. Sometimes after dinner, he takes a flashlight with his little son to catch crickets. When he gets home, he fights with insects and has a good life.

During his teaching period in Anhui University, Mao Xiaolu also served as a teacher of Chinese poetry
