How did Mu Shiying die?

The following are the causes of death:

1On the evening of June 28th, 940, Mu Shiying made an exception and didn't take the "Cadillac" advanced bullet-proof car equipped by the Japanese for him, nor did the two bodyguards who used to be inseparable. He greeted the rickshaw alone on the road. By this time, it was already dark. When the car passed the entrance of Fengtai foreign goods on Fujian Road, two black shadows rushed out of the street and blocked the way. Before Mu Shiying could react, the other party immediately shot at him with a gun. After several shots, Mu Shiying fell off the rickshaw and fell in a pool of blood.

Mu Shiying only lived for 28 short years. For a long period of time after his assassination, people thought that he was a "traitor" and deserved it. But in the early 1970s, someone wrote an article in Hong Kong to defend Mu Shiying, saying that he was an agent of the Central Committee and was killed by the military. Since then, people have been talking about Mu Shiying's identity and cause of death, but each has its own version, which has become a mystery.

Character introduction:

Mu Shiying (1912-1940), a modern novelist, was born in Cixi, Zhejiang Province, and his pen name was Yang Fa. My father was a very rich industrialist, and later went bankrupt because of running stocks, and his family came down. When Mu Shiying/Kloc-0 was 0/0 years old, his father took him to Shanghai to study and began to build his temperament and life according to the interests of the middle class, hoping that he would become a bank manager or a shrewd comprador in the future. But Mu Shiying fell in love with literature when he was in middle school, and later studied in China Literature Department of Guanghua University. Mu Shiying didn't do very well in the exam during his college years, especially when he was in Mr. Qian Jibo's Chinese class at Guanghua University, and he failed almost every semester. According to Shi Zhecun's later memories, Mu Shiying's knowledge of classical literature and classical Chinese is sometimes not as good as that of a middle school student. But this did not affect Mu Shiying's enthusiasm for literature. He devoted himself to the study of foreign new literary schools, and began to write novels at the age of 1929 and 17. The following year, Mu Shiying published his first novels "Our World" and "Black Cyclone" in New Literature and Art. Soon after, under the recommendation of Shi Zhecun, he published the novel "North and South Pole" in the then famous literary magazine "Novel Monthly", which became famous at one fell swoop. When Shi Zhecun later recalled his acquaintance with Mu Shiying, he said: "When he was studying at Guanghua University, he came to the ink and wash bookstore and gave his novel Our World to New Literature and Art. At that time, he was only 17 years old. I'm surprised. This is an extremely clever man, no matter what he has learned. "

1932 65438+ In October, Mu Shiying's first collection of short stories, The North and South Pole, was first published by Shanghai Hufeng Bookstore, and its content reflected the polarization between the upper class and the lower class. A year later, the revised edition of this book was re-launched by Shanghai Modern Bookstore, which caused great repercussions. Literary critics at that time affirmed Mu Shiying's unique perspective, novel form and ingenious artistic skills in describing class opposition, and thought that Mu Shiying was an important achievement in China's literary world. It is said that when you walk into a bookstore on the streets of Shanghai at that time, you will find Mu Shiying's novel "North and South Pole" on the shelf. Readers who are crazy about Mu Shiying's novels often write to him, and even admirers knock on the door of his old house from Nanyang thousands of miles away. At this time, Mu Shiying was only 20 years old.

However, just as people had high hopes for Mu Shiying and expected him to make a breakthrough in the direction of North and South Pole, Mu Shiying's creation changed unexpectedly. 1933 published the second collection of novels, Graveyard, and turned to describe the bizarre urban life. He also describes metropolitan tourists who are obsessed with music and sound under the attractive urban background. In terms of skills, Mu Shiying deliberately studied and applied the modernist technique of Japanese neo-sensation school Yokotsu, and tried to write Freudian psychological novels, whose content and style were completely different from those of the South and North Poles. Since then, Mu Shiying has published several representative works, such as Platinum Statue of Women, Feeling of a Virgin, Five People in a Nightclub, Foxtrot Dance in Shanghai, etc. In these novels, Mu Shiying focuses on Shanghai's nightclubs, cafes, bars, cinemas, racecourses and other entertainment places, tracking the rhythm and color of foxtrot, jazz, models and neon lights, and capturing the sensitive, slender and complicated psychological feelings of urbanites. He used mature techniques such as montage, stream of consciousness, symbolism and impressionism to reflect the vast social life scene in Shanghai in 1930s, to explore the modernity of urban life and the noise and turmoil of urbanites' souls, especially to vividly depict the erotic world of modern men and women who are addicted to urban pleasure. At the same time, in these novels, there is an obvious decadent and sentimental atmosphere, but Mu Shiying's novels are all the rage. Mu Shiying himself was called a "ghost writer" by people at that time because of his young and prolific style. Since then, he, Liu Naou, Shi Zhecun and other * * * formed the New Sensation School in China's literary world, and Mu Shiying was also praised by later generations as "the master of the New Sensation School" and the master of modernism.

Gunfire on the streets of Shanghai

In the early 1930s, Mu Shiying, who was proud of the spring breeze, was filled with flashy atmosphere on the Shili foreign exchange. He lives alone in Hongkou Apartment, Sichuan North Road, which was a high-class apartment in Shanghai in 1930s. The room he lives in is very narrow, with a single bed and a desk. The room is clean and tidy, and the environment is quiet. Such a room costs forty or fifty yuan a month, but Mu Shiying doesn't care. Since "The North and South Pole" and "The Cemetery" became a hit, Modern magazine published his novels in almost every issue, and Liangyou Book Company published his collections of novels, such as Men for Recreation and Black Peony, which made him live a very rich life. Mu Shiying, who was young but had achieved fame and fortune, soon became increasingly depraved. Cafes, dance halls, cinemas, golf courses ... were places frequented by Mu Shiying at that time. When Shi Zhecun later recalled Mu Shiying, he also said: "His life is nightlife, sleeping in the morning, busy with his literature in the afternoon and dinner, and then going to dance halls, cinemas and casinos." At that time, a magazine even joked that Mu Shiying "almost the dance floor was his mother's home before marriage". Even Mu Shiying himself can't help sighing "an urbanite" in the novel: "Without jazz dance, foxtrot, mixed wine, popular colors in autumn, eight-cylinder sports cars and Egyptian cigarettes, I would become a soulless person." Soon, Mu Shiying fell in love with boomerang gambling again. Day after day, I can't extricate myself. Since then, Mu Shiying has hardly produced any decent works. With 1935, Shi Zhecun and Du Heng quit the editorial department of Modern, the New Sensation School fell apart, and Mu Shiying's works gradually had nowhere to publish, making a living by selling articles became very difficult, and his previous property was almost squandered by him.

Around 1933, Mu Shiying, from a poor family, participated in the Kuomintang Books and Periodicals Review Committee, which was despised by honest literati, in order to increase his income. Because although it is notorious there, its income is quite rich. Since then, his brilliant and short literary career has been spent commenting on so-called "red" books. Later, I participated in the editing work of Literary Illustrated. After the outbreak of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Mu Shiying went to Hong Kong to direct the film The Night Pearl at the invitation of Dapeng Film Company. The film tells the story of a dancer who meets a man who really loves her, but this love is not tolerated by society, and finally the dancer dies in hatred. During this period, Mu Shiying himself fell in love with a dancer six years older than him and finally married her. However, Hong Kong did not bring much luck to Mu Shiying. He can't speak Cantonese, so it is difficult for him to find a job and life is inconvenient everywhere. He and his dancer wife live in a two-story house on a quiet street in Kowloon. The house is so humble that there is no bed. During the day, Mu Shiying looked around for people and jobs. At night, tired, he stood quietly by the window, watching the lights on Hong Kong Island and listening to the whispers of the sea. During this period, Mu Shiying asked someone to find an editorial position in the supplement of Sing Tao Daily, but somehow, he quit soon. From 65438 to 0939, Mu Shiying returned to Shanghai with his wife at the invitation of his good friend Liu Naou. At this time, Liu Naou was already an important member of Wang Jingwei's puppet regime. After Mu Shiying returned to Shanghai, he presided over the supplements of China Daily, Literature Weekly and Huafeng of Wang Jingwei's puppet regime, and edited the National Newspaper. During the period of 1940, Shanghai was in turmoil under the Japanese puppet regime. It is precisely when the "spy war" between Kuomintang government agents and Wang Puppet agents intensified that the Japanese Puppet newspaper office system in the concession also became one of the main targets attacked by Kuomintang agents. On June 20th, the national news agency received a threatening letter. After receiving the report, the patrol room of the concession sent people to guard around the newspaper office. At this time, Mu Shiying is preparing to take over a newspaper of a puppet regime and become the president of the national news agency.
