The Long River is a masterpiece by Shen Congwen, which is an essay written by the author after returning to Xiangxi in 1937 and living in a county town in the middle of Yuanshui for about four months. It is another elegy about the characters and customs of Xiangxi after "Border City". Following the author's narration, we can feel the various changes in Xiangxi in the development of the war.
** Wrote such a story:
In the thirties of the last century, there was a tributary called Chen River in the upper reaches of the Yuanshui River Basin in Hunan, and the small port in the middle of the Chen River was Lujiaping, where the president of the local chamber of commerce lived and the security team was stationed. A small dirt slope about four miles downstream of the river is called "Maple Tree Pass", and there is an ancestral hall surnamed Teng on the pass. There are more than a dozen old maple trees in front of and behind the ancestral hall, and under the old maple tree in front of the ancestral hall, the one who sets up a stall and sits on the col is an old sailor who gets a boat.
There is a large orange orchard on the river radish creek in Fengmuao, and the owner Teng Changshun has two sons and three daughters, and the youngest daughter is the most beautiful, nicknamed "black in the pretty". That year, the orange harvest was again abundant, and the orange trees were full of great fruit.
The old sailor heard from the passers-by of the stall that a "new life" was coming, and this "new life" did not seem to him to be a good thing, so he had a little "unwarranted worry". He crossed the river and told Changshun, but Changshun was very calm and didn't care. The chairman of Lujiaping also heard from the guys who returned from Chenxi County that the "new life" was coming.
Actually, the "new life" will not come so soon, but the security captain is coming. He received the annual security fee from the president, and he also took the president's pre-issued receipt. In order to thank all parties for their favors, the president bought a boatload of oranges from Changshun, and Changshun's family, including the young man, began to pick oranges, and the old sailor Man Man also came to help.
The captain of the security guard also took a fancy to Changshun's oranges, but he took a blackmail approach, and the experienced Changshun did not succeed, and the captain was angry, but fortunately, the president mediated between them, and it was calmed down. At the end of this volume, it is written that the social opera, the orange harvest is abundant, in order to thank the gods and spirits, Changshun invited the Pushi opera troupe to sing for a few days, the people and gods are happy together, and everything seems to be the same as the original.
**After only one volume, will the "new life" come?
What is a "new life"? I would like to leave this issue on hold for now. **The area of the Chen River in the southwest of Dongting Lake is rich in oranges, and oranges also run through the whole work, and my interpretation starts with oranges.

Primary school education.
In April 1928, Hu Shi served as the principal of the Shanghai China Public School and hired Shen Congwen to serve at the school. At that time, there was a lot of controversy, and many people thought that he only had a high school education, and although he published some works and was considered a "celebrity", he really wanted to be on the podium of a higher education institution, and the gap was too far. Moreover, this man is not good at words.
Even Shen Congwen himself was surprised when he heard the news. However, Hu Shili ignored public opinion, regardless of qualifications, and insisted on recruitment. As soon as Shen Congwen came to the podium, he made a joke:
Hu Shi didn't care about this, he has been seriously helping Shen Congwen and encouraging him enthusiastically, so that he finally became a teacher loved by students. Look at Hu Shi's appointment of Shen Congwen, the courage to frame people without qualifications, academic qualifications, and death, the elegance that allows young people to make jokes for a while, and the farsightedness and wisdom of knowing people with real talents and learning, how can you not make people sigh!
It would be a good thing if the upstairs could really give Mr. Shen a bachelor's degree from Peking University.

With a primary school education, Hu Shi hired him as a university teacher.

He graduated from Peking University with a bachelor's degree! What did the guy upstairs think!
