Zhang Ailing's younger brother has a hard life. Why should he leave his million-dollar legacy to his friends?

When we talk about Zhang Ailing, our first reaction will be that she is a talented woman in the Republic of China. Her talent is admirable and she became famous in her teens. As we all know, everyone's growth is inseparable from the place where he grew up. Whether he grows up happily or not determines a person's character in this life. A happy life will cure a person's life, and an unfortunate life may be difficult to cure.

The place where Zhang Ailing grew up was very unhappy. We all know that Zhang Ailing's grandfather was Zhang Peilun, a famous official in the late Qing Dynasty, and her grandmother was Li Jue, the eldest daughter of Li Hongzhang, an important official in the imperial court. Zhang Ailing's grandfather was Huang Yisheng, the first prefect of the Yangtze River Navy, and her grandmother was the daughter of Sun Baoqi, Premier of Beiyang Government. In this kind of family, their life must be very rich, but you know, wealth does not mean happiness.

The contradiction between Zhang Ailing's parents is aggravated because parents always prefer sons to daughters, which has also become the shadow of Zhang Ailing's life. In terms of appearance, Zhang Ailing can't compare with her younger brother Zhang Zijing, and her younger brother Zhang Zijing has been totally honest since childhood, which is very popular among adults. No matter what is delicious and fun at home, he will definitely let his brother eat first and play first.

Every time Zhang Ailing arrives, she always makes a scene, often venting her dissatisfaction with her family to her younger brother Zhang Zijing. She often puts on airs as an elder sister to punish her younger brother, but at this time, their nanny will soon come over and say to Zhang Ailing: An elder sister wants to make way for her younger brother, but Zhang Ailing's personality has not made her determined to surpass her younger brother Zhang Zijing since she was a child.

In addition to her family's preference for boys, the contradiction between her parents is also profound. At the same time, it is constantly destroying the young hearts of Zhang Ailing and Zhang Zijing. Zhang Ailing's father is a famous dude, and her temper has not changed since her father got married. Every day, he still fooling around, gambling and smoking opium.

Zhang Ailing's mother is Huang Suqiong, but she is a new era woman who has received modern education. Huang Suqiong has always been arrogant. She is dissatisfied with arranged marriages. Later, she was even more angry when she saw that her husband had never changed his life since he married himself. Therefore, they often quarrel. At first, they just quarreled until they really threw vases at each other.

At this time, Zhang Ailing and Zhang Zijing were hiding in the corner, looking at their "enemy" parents with tears in their eyes. However, compared with her younger brother Zhang Zijing, Zhang Ailing has been pretending to be strong. Zhang Zijing, who has grown up, recalls that when his parents quarreled, his voice was still trembling and scared. Zhang Zijing said, "At that time, I didn't know if my sister would be afraid, but now I think that my sister should be as afraid as herself when eating."

Huang Suqiong is different from those women who marry chickens and follow dogs. She won't endure this unhappy marriage forever. After that, Huang Suqiong left home without hesitation and went abroad to study. She went with her sister-in-law at that time. When Huang Suqiong left, Zhang Ailing and Zhang Zijing were still holding her legs. Although Huang Suqiong didn't want to give up her children, she decided to go her own way.

Huang Suqiong left the child with the box and got on the bus to the port. Zhang Ailing was only four years old this year, while her younger brother Zhang Zijing was only three years old. Huang Suqiong's departure did not wake Zhang Zhiyi (Zhang Ailing's father). After seeing his wife leave, Zhang Zhiyi moved back to her home in Shanghai. He not only continued to eat, drink and be merry, but even brought back the woman he raised outside, so the Zhang family became a joke in Shanghai at that time.

Zhang Zhiyi has written to Huang Suqiong in Britain many times. The content of the letter is probably: "I will completely repent and hope that she can return to China to reunite with her children." But Zhang Zhiyi's letter didn't impress Huang Suqiong, because she had given her husband many opportunities, but she had no intention of rejecting her husband's change. She has been disappointed too many times.

Zhang Zhiyi saw that Huang Suqiong, who was far away in England, didn't come back, so she added a stepmother to Zhang Ailing and Zhang Zijing. When this stepmother comes home, the family will not be as calm as before. Slowly, Zhang Ailing found that her father was not so kind to herself and her younger brother Zhang Zijing. Their brothers and sisters often slap their father immediately because of a small mistake. At this time, Zhang Ailing has understood that all this is caused by her stepmother.

Because of these things, Zhang Ailing longed for freedom very much since she was a child, and hoped that she could leave this home very much. When you were in 1937, Zhang Ailing graduated from Santa Maria Girls' School. Later, under the influence of her mother who had returned to China, Zhang Ailing also had the idea of studying abroad, but her idea made the stepmother often sneer at her. Her stepmother likes smoking opium as much as her father. They will be the same in the future. "

Zhang Ailing wants to study abroad, so they have no money to smoke opium. Her stepmother is not only cynical about Zhang Ailing, but also cynical about Zhang Ailing's mother. Zhang Ailing's stepmother said, "Your mother and your father divorced, and now you have to interfere in your family affairs. Since she can't let go, why doesn't she come? " It's a pity that she came back late. When she comes back, she may just be an aunt. "Stepmother's sarcasm immediately made Zhang Ailing angry, which also aggravated the contradiction between the two.

1In the autumn of 937, Zhang Ailing's stepmother deliberately picked on her and slapped Zhang Ailing. Zhang ailing, who woke up, instinctively wanted to fight back. As a result, the stepmother asked two descendants to hold Zhang Ailing down. The stepmother complained to Zhang Ailing's father first, saying that Zhang Ailing would beat herself and kick Zhang Ailing if her father knew. If the old servant hadn't protected her, Zhang Ailing might have been killed by her father.

Later 1938, Zhang Ailing fled the feudal family when two guards changed shifts. From then on, Zhang Ailing never returned to this family, and Zhang Ailing's younger brother Zhang Zijing inherited his father's weakness. Every time he was beaten, he was as if nothing had happened, but his sister's escape also inspired Zhang Zijing's hidden rebellion, and Zhang Zijing wanted to escape.

After Zhang Ailing escaped, she came to her mother. By this time, Huang Suqiong had spent all her property and lived very frugally. Moreover, she has to pay Zhang Ailing's tuition, which makes Huang Suqiong stretched. Soon after, Zhang Zijing also fled, and he found his mother, hoping that her mother would take her in. But Huang Suqiong said, "My financial ability is limited, and I can only afford Zhang Ailing by myself."

When Zhang Zijing recalled that day, all he had was a pair of basketball shoes wrapped in waste newspapers, which was his favorite gift. Later, after his mother refused, Zhang Zijing's heart was completely cold. At this time, he just cried loudly with basketball shoes. His father doesn't hurt, his mother doesn't love him, and his sister who grew up with him only shed a few tears occasionally. Only these basketball shoes can comfort him.

Compared with Zhang Zijing and Zhang Ailing, Zhang Ailing has amazing titanium powder, and Zhang Ailing has indeed fulfilled her childhood vows, and everything is better than her younger brother. When Zhang Ailing was studying in England, her grades were excellent and she was always among the best. Her aunt Zhang Maoyuan once compared Zhang Ailing with Zhang Zijing. She said to Zhang Zijing, "Look at your sister. She can learn English with any book, even physics and chemistry."

It is possible that Zhang Ailing was born lonely. After Zhang Ailing broke up with her father, she broke up with her mother. Why? It turned out that Zhang Ailing won a scholarship of 800 yuan, which encouraged Zhang Ailing. However, to Zhang Ailing's surprise, her mother secretly used the money to lose at the poker table, leaving nothing for Zhang Ailing.

In Zhang Ailing's mind, this money is a symbol that can prove her extraordinary talent. It is the most valuable money in the world, but it has been taken to chess by Huang Suqiong, and it has not been approved by her. In Zhang Ailing's view, this is betrayal, which also makes Huang Suqiong feel incredible. What is 800 yuan, where she gave everything for Zhang Ailing's research? Her mother's indifferent attitude made Zhang Ailing determined to separate from her mother.

At this time, Zhang Ailing said to her mother, "I don't care what you think, aunt, I will definitely pay back the money you spent on me." After this betrayal, Zhang Ailing became more and more autistic. In Zhang Ailing's view, to be clear between brothers, the best situation is that they don't owe each other. Later, Zhang Ailing made a lot of money by writing and promised her mother to give her two or two gold bars. Zhang Ailing did it, but her mother, Huang Suqiong, shed tears excitedly and said, "Just think that I am a good person to you, you don't have to do this to me!" So Huang Suqiong returned the gold bars.

Zhang Ailing's mutual affection also reflects her relationship with her younger brother. Zhang Zijing also wants to get ahead by writing like her sister. 1943, Zhang Zijing and her classmates started a publication called Mao. At that time, the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, and Zhang Zijing intended to baptize people's spirit with his own articles. At this moment, the editor said to Zhang Zijing, "Your sister is a famous writer in Shanghai, even though she writes short articles of several hundred words.

Zhang Zijing listened to a lot of sense, so he went to Zhang Ailing's residence. Zhang ailing just sneered at her brother's request and said, "Your unknown publication, which I wrote for you, will ruin my reputation." After saying this, Zhang Ailing pointed to the sketch on the table and said, "You can take this one. You can use it as an illustration." This sketch is Zhang Ailing's own work, which is worthy of Zhang Zijing in Zhang Ailing's view.

Zhang Zijing certainly knows his sister's personality. He was rejected by his sister since he was a child. After a long time, he got used to it. Although he is depressed, he knows it's no use talking more. After returning home, Zhang Zijing wrote a short essay "My Sister", and then matched it with his sister's sketch. This is the editor's job.

1944, 10' s essay My Sister was published in the first issue of Biao, which really attracted many readers. At first, Zhang Zijing was worried that her sister Zhang Ailing would be unhappy, and her personality would definitely refute him in the newspaper. Later, Zhang Zijing gave her "first novel" to her sister for review. Zhang Ailing just looked into her eyes and didn't say much. Finally, Zhang Zijing was relieved.

Compared with Zhang Zijing and Zhang Ailing, although Zhang Zijing graduated from Fudan University, he was a lot less happy. Compared with Zhang Ailing, Zhang Zijing has never left his family. Father's life is unsustainable because of his investment failure, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. His father didn't want to hold a wedding for Zhang Zijing to save money, and Zhang Zijing was introverted, so he didn't have much money. Because of the shadow of his childhood, he is afraid of getting married. He is afraid that Zhang Zijing will never get married, just like his parents.

His father has no money, so he will ask Zhang Zijing for money for various reasons. Once Zhang Zijing was going on a business trip, his father saw that he had a lot of money to keep for him, but it was all spent by his father. Zhang Zijing couldn't find a good job, and his father couldn't get rid of him, so he slowly walked into poverty. Zhang ailing abandoned her family long ago, and even after her father died, she didn't go back to have a look.

Zhang Ailing is stingy with her family, but she can be said to spend a lot of money on her lover. Once, Zhang Ailing married Hu Lancheng, a big traitor, and the expenses of both were borne by Zhang Ailing. Later, Hu Lancheng cheated, and Zhang Ailing even pawned her bracelet to beat her rival in love. Later, they separated. At that time, Zhang Ailing gave Hu Lancheng a 300,000 yuan breakup fee without hesitation. 1948, Zhang Zijing's mother came to Shanghai, and Zhang Zijing was very happy to learn that he came to Shanghai from Wuxi with his mother. But his mother was indifferent to him, and then his mother went abroad again, and finally died at 1957.

Zhang Zijing's mother left, and so did her sister. The last time Zhang Zijing went to see her sister was at 195 1. In the conversation, Zhang Ailing expressed her pessimism, because she had settled down at that time and could not write revolutionary literature, and her association with Hu Lancheng was a stain on her life. Zhang Zijing became a teacher in 1952, teaching in the countryside. She wants to visit her sister when she returns to the city in August.

Zhang Zijing's last relative has gone, and now Zhang Zijing has no relatives. What a lonely world it is for him. After he went downstairs and cried, he wrote in his memoirs: The streets are full of people wearing human clothes. I remember she said the clothes were too dull, and she would never wear them. Perhaps because of this, she left, went to a distant place she pursued, and never came back in this life.

Later, Zhang Ailing went to America and had a short marriage with an American. She wanted to write again, but she found her article unpopular in America. China people are too young for the United States. In this way, Zhang Ailing lived a very difficult life. She moves every month and worries about eating every day. In the 1970s, things got better, and Zhang Ailing's works became popular in Hong Kong.

At that time, her novels were expensive in Luoyang. Later, her novels became TV series and movies, and the payment was continuously sent to the United States. Zhang Ailing became rich again. At this time, Zhang Zijing is guarding her 40-square-meter house and living the same lonely life with her sister. He is poorer than Zhang Ailing.

Later, Zhang Zijing suddenly heard someone say that his sister died unfortunately. At that time, he frantically asked her where she was. Although she had not contacted for many years, she was her own sister after all. Later, with the help of others, he inquired about her whereabouts and wrote several letters to express his regards to her. It was not until half a year later that Zhang Ailing wrote back to Zhang Zijing: "The news is blocked, and some words are so bizarre. Some people say that I have made a fortune, others say that I am as poor as a church mouse. In fact, I can hardly do it. When the mainland is more open, you will know that all this is true. I am really ashamed that I can't help you, but I hope you are good. "

Although my sister's reply was still so indifferent, Zhang Zijing was very happy because he knew that her personality was like this. He wrote in his memoirs: "I know her personality and the hardships of her later life. I just missed her without complaining. No matter how things change, she and I are related by blood. With your own hands, this foundation will never change. "

Zhang Ailing died alone in her apartment on1September, 1995 18. In her own words, this is the best house in America. After that, she gave all the output to her friends Song Qi and his wife. As for her brother Zhang Zijing, she didn't consider it. Actually, Zhang Ailing could help her younger brother, but she didn't do that. She doesn't care even if her family never gets married again. Maybe her family hurt her too much.

Later, Zhang Zijing said: "Her mind has long established a self-enclosed world: self-defense, selfishness and self-indulgence." Zhang Ailing's character is doomed that she will not help her younger brother, let alone help her younger brother because of others' sarcasm. Although Zhang Ailing's choice is incredible, how can we persuade her to be kind and not be so painful?

After Zhang Ailing's death, Zhang Zijing saw a "little brother" while reading her sister's works. When Zhang Zijing saw it, tears could not stop flowing downwards. It said: "I am" beautiful "in the book. I am old and have no ambition. I have been mediocre for most of my life, and I am still an ordinary person. My parents gave birth to younger brothers and sisters, and now I am the only one left. "

In the following days, retired Zhang Zijing spent the rest of his life in his 40-square-meter hut. Since then, he will open the door every day, hoping that his neighbors can take a look at him when they pass by, hoping that he will be found after his death. Zhang Zijing died on 1997.
