On the news, it is often possible to see some celebrities surrounded by their fans, asking for autographs and the like. In the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in large-scale concerts, sometimes it is also difficult to find a ticket, and the influence of stars cannot be ignored. Even in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty a hundred years ago, this was the case. However, at that time, there was no TV or mobile phone, and the "stars" that people chased were some literati and inkers with real talent and practical learning.
The end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic of China were a very special period in China's modern history, and many social contradictions and social changes accumulated by the feudal system began to erupt during this period. In the late Qing Dynasty, after more than a hundred years of closed-door development, it was already decayed, and the level of science and technology and productivity had been stagnant.
In 1840, when the First Opium War broke out, the Western powers began to extend the magic claw to China, and the people's fighting spirit was gradually eroded by opium. It is in this context of the times that a "strange woman" was born, who used her passionate writing to awaken the people who were still sleeping.
This person is the Songling woman Pan Xiaohuan, many people may be a little unfamiliar with this name, but a hundred years ago, this name can be described as a popular place in the north and south of the river, especially her novel published in the "Women's World" magazine, "Chinese Female Swordsman Red Line, Nie Yinniang Biography" caused great repercussions.
At the beginning of the novel, there is a sentence: "I was in China two thousand years ago, and the country of chivalry was also." My people of China two thousand years ago, chivalrous people also. Heavy promises, light life and death, spending money to marry, going to the soup to fight the fire...", at that time, the Russians and Japanese were fighting in the three northeastern provinces of China, but the Qing Dynasty was helpless, and such impassioned words were undoubtedly pointing at the nose of the boy of the Great Qing Dynasty.
Many people who have read Pan Xiaohuan's articles are extremely impressed by her talent, especially some young men, who regard Pan Xiaohuan as their dream lover. There is even a song and ballad circulating in the folk: "Be an official as a foreign minister, and marry a wife to marry Pan Xiaohuan." At this time, Pan Xiaohuan published a poem "Crying Tao Ya Soul" in the magazine, which caused a strong response.
Everyone wanted to get to know this talented woman, but when they couldn't see Pan Xiaohuan's people, they stuffed love letters to the magazine, and sometimes they could receive thousands of love letters a week. I don't know where a legend was circulated, and pan Xiaohuan was even lifted to the sky.
It is said that a tourist came to the West Lake to play, and suddenly a young woman with a very iconic appearance dropped a handkerchief in front of him, and this clever tourist naturally followed behind him. When she reached a hidden place, the young woman suddenly stopped, turned her head and took out a few manuscripts to the tourist and said: Sir, but from Shanghai? Can you send the manuscript to the "Women's World" magazine for me, and the tourists naturally agree with joy.
As soon as this rumor spread, it immediately caused a heated discussion. It turned out that Pan Xiaohuan was really a beautiful young girl, but when everyone was enthusiastic, Pan Xiaohuan seemed to have evaporated in the world, and there was no news. It was not until a hundred years later that historians began to study the Songling woman Pan Xiaohuan, but discovered an incredible secret. It turned out that Pan Xiaohuan was actually a boy, and his name was Liu Weigao. And "Songling Woman Pan Xiaohuan" is just his pen name. I don't know how the person who threw the love letter in the magazine would look when he knew this truth?
