The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

During the period of the Republic of China, Shanghai served as a window to the world, and the news industry flourished staggeringly.

From world events, national current affairs, and weather forecasts to price fluctuations, municipal management, and horse racing and watching theaters, newspapers cover everything that one expects to find. Reading newspapers has become a part of citizens' lives.

The most sensational news in Shanghai recently is Zhou Hexuan's promotion of new underwear in "Liangyou" pictorial, and Tan Yaozhang's denunciation of Zhou Hexuan as a literary monster in "Mainland Daily", which then set off a big debate between progressives and conservatives.

"Continent News" was founded in 1911. It is an old-fashioned newspaper. It was originally a Sino-US joint venture, and later changed hands many times. The content has also changed from English to Chinese, and its attitude is conservative.

As soon as Tan Yaozhang's article was published, it immediately attracted the support of conservative literati, who criticized Zhou Hexuan aggressively and scolded him bloody.

Before Zhou Hexuan had time to pay attention to it, countless progressive scholars spontaneously helped him fight with his pen.

Ms. Lu Guchun, who has served as the academic director of the Chinese and Western Girls' School for more than 20 years, took the lead in posting support for Zhou Hexuan and supporting women's breasts. She said: "After years of presiding over the school affairs of the Girls' School, I found that small vests hinder the development of women's breasts and are easy to cause lung disease. Ninety-nine out of ten adult women suffer from coughing, all of which are caused by this. Breast corsets can also cause chest diseases, and when they give birth to children in the future, although there is milk (harmonious) juice and it is not smooth, the baby's body will definitely be unhealthy."

Hu Shi, who had just returned to China, also joined in happily: "Breast corset may cause lung disease infection, poison bone marrow, and cause the scourge of extinction in a weak country. Chinese women should protect the natural development, and must take a strong country and a strong race as their personal goals. .China should have grandma, and I support Mr. Zhou's grandma doctrine."

Even the "Beixin" weekly asked Lu Xun, who was in Guangzhou, to invite an article. Mr. Lu Xun wrote an article "Talking about Grandmaism" for this purpose: "I have heard recently that there are Zhous who advocate grandmaism. The intention should be good. However, it provoked criticism and attracted the resentment of moral gentlemen... I also worried that Chinese women might lose the ability to breastfeed in the future, and every family would have to hire wet nurses. But it is ineffective to only attack corsets .First, we need to improve social thinking. We don’t need to be ashamed to mention that breasts are more generous. Second, we need to improve clothing by tying tops into skirts. Neither cheongsam nor Chinese shorts are suitable for the liberation of breasts. , because at that time, it was lifted from the chest down, which was inconvenient and unsightly. Although I have not seen the new underwear advocated by Zhou Jun, it is still a good direction."

Hu Shi and Lu Xun are the most famous in today's Chinese literary and ideological circles. The two of them stood up to support Zhou Hexuan, and instantly attracted countless progressive young people to follow, and "big grandma doctrine" was also widely discussed by intellectuals.

Those old-fashioned fighters are scumbags. How can they say anything about professional trolls who have experienced the May 4th Movement? In just a few days, he was speechless after being refuted, and went home to cool off by himself.

At the same time, the sales volume of "Liangyou" pictorial also skyrocketed, and there was even a queue to buy.

Because the few sets of underwear photos published in the pictorial were too tempting for men in the Republic of China, many people bought them back and treasured them. Just like "The History of Sexuality" edited by Zhang Jingsheng last year, it caused panic buying as soon as it was released. When the warlords banned the book, they even used high-pressure water cannons to disperse the book-buying crowd.

...

Public concession, Meikou underwear store.

Zhou Hexuan instructed the clerk: "Move it a little further, yes, put it there!"

Several female shop assistants carried a few wooden mannequins, placed them neatly behind the window, and quickly put underwear on them. And next to the signboard of the specialty store, there is also a large photo of Katerina's underwear.

Passers-by come to watch every day, the thick-skinned stand still, and the thin-skinned will sneak a few glances. Putting on the dummy models at this moment, there will be more onlookers immediately, pointing and pointing at those models.

Some women originally wanted to enter the store to buy underwear, but when they saw too many onlookers, they immediately became shy and hesitated outside the store.

Suddenly, an old man with gray hair appeared, wearing a long gown, cloth shoes, and glasses. Regardless of everyone's surprised gazes, he walked into the store and shouted: "What styles of bellybands do you have here? Bring out the best ones, and I'll buy them for my wife!"

When the female customers in the store saw the opposite sex, and they were old men, they were so frightened that they ran away.

Zhou Hexuan was also surprised, so he walked over to greet him, and said with a smile, "Old man, the new underwear comes in different sizes. Your wife needs to come to the store to measure it in person to know whether it fits or not."

"That's no problem. Do you have a telephone here?" the old man said.

Zhou Hexuan said: "There is one inside, please follow me."

The old man swaggered after him, dialed the number and said, "Zhiying, come to the underwear store, they said they need to measure the size." After speaking, he put down the phone and said to Zhou Hexuan, "Wait, my wife will be here soon. "

Zhou Hexuan was even more surprised, and asked, "May I ask the old gentleman's name."

"I'm Zhang Binglin." The old man said.

Zhou Hexuan hurriedly clasped his fists in salute: "It's actually Mr. Taiyan, it's too far to welcome him, next week Hexuan."

Zhang Taiyan laughed and said, "I guess it's you, Zhou Wenyao who clamors for Grandmaism."

"A little name is not worth mentioning." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, he is not ashamed of the name of Wen Yao, but proud of it.

Zhang Taiyan pointed at Zhou Hexuan and said, "Haha, you're kind of funny, you enjoy being scolded."

Zhou Hexuan said: "Compared to Mr. Taiyan, my infamy is not enough. I need to learn a lot from you and try to be scolded more severely."

"You're so fucking crazy, you dare to compare yourself to me and be scolded." Zhang Taiyan was very relieved, as if he felt that he had someone to follow.

After talking nonsense for a long time, Zhang Taiyan's wife, Tang Guoli, also came.

Tang Guoli is only in her 40s, and her charm still exists, but it is a pity that her feet were bound since she was a child, and walking is a bit inconvenient. She behaved gracefully, she didn't measure the size after entering the store, but chose underwear as if no one else was there, ignoring the comments of the onlookers at all.

Zhou Hexuan came over and asked, "Mr. Tang, these styles are all designed by me. Sexy, dignified, glamorous... you can find them all. I don't know which one do you like?"

"This pink one with lace is good." Tang Guoli was not only not ashamed, but commented on the underwear.

She really deserves to be the wife of the madman Zhang Taiyan, with cutting-edge thinking!

After choosing the style, Tang Guoli went in to measure the size. They bought more than ten pieces of underwear, all of which were carried by Zhang Taiyan.

Old Zhang felt that it was not enough. The moment he walked out of the underwear store, he suddenly held up the underwear: "My name is Zhang Binglin. The new underwear is a good thing. Don't be stupid, buy a few and give it to your wife!"

A circle of people stared at him dumbfounded.
