Lao She's former residence 58, Nan Xin Street, Ji'nan.
for the former residence of modern Ji'nan celebrities, Lao She's former residence should be the first, not only because Lao She called Ji'nan as the "second hometown", but also because in the modern history of Ji'nan, no one has described, recorded and praised Ji'nan like Lao She. Mr. Lao She called a writer "a writer". Writer Lao She has lived in many places at home and abroad, but there are few articles describing his former residence. Only the former residence of Ji'nan is an exception. Not only does it write a lot, it describes the details very well, but it can also be described as a wonderful piece of writing. What is the reason? It can not be said that it is related to the beautiful scenery of Quancheng, the good remuneration of the Qilu University and the ease of friends.

"Dad laughs mother with the female pull book, a family of three happy living. Ji'nan landscape is a famous man, and the fish in the basket of cats in the basket. " This is a doggerel in the photo of a family portrait during Lao She's residence.
the doggerel of the doggerel is cheerful, full of warmth and agreeable, which shows that its little life is good. Lao she joked that "Ji'nan landscape is full of famous scholars", because it was famous at that time, celebrities in Ji'nan, and famous journalists and journalists. The so-called "basket in the cat ball pot fish", refers to the new street in the South New Street courtyard house, colorful, grass and wood insect fish all, and Lao She also raised a small fat cat named "cat ball". This poem is published in the forty-ninth issue of the semi Analects of the Analects of Shanghai in September 16, 1934 by Lin Yutang.
Lao She was a long-term contributor to the Shanghai semi Analects of the Analects of Confucius, and was named "the eight immortals of the Analects of Confucius". The Chinese literary world was divided into the Beijing school and the sea school. Lao She was beyond the Beijing sea, so it belonged to the "Analects of Confucius". Most of his articles were published in the three magazines of the Analects, the world, and the wind of the universe. However, Lao She, the eight immortals of the Analects of Confucius, suddenly became popular and there were two mysteries that Lin Yutang, the great master of humour, did not know. First, in September 5, 1933, Lao She's eldest daughter, Shu Ji, was born in Ji'nan. The photo of her family was just when she was just over one year old. Two, Lao She has received the letter from Zhao Taimou, President of national Shan University, and will soon leave Ji'nan for Qingdao. On the occasion of farewell to this small courtyard, it is kept as a memento. From the early spring of 1931 to the golden autumn of 1934, Lao She spent the warmest and warmest time in his life in the small courtyard of Nan Xin Street.
Lao She likes this oil painting very much and hangs it on the south wall of the study. In those days, Lao She sat in the North House West study room facing the south window, and the north wall of his rattan chair was still a picture. The painting is a picture of herd and hog, which was painted by Yan Bolong, a classmate of Beijing normal school. The word is a couplet, which is written in the book "four generations of the classics, which is called Tong De, a good master of Yongnian". In addition, the walls are hung with paintings and paintings from Guan Songping and Guan Yousheng brothers. In addition to Guan brothers, there are landscape paintings of song Xiao Meng, a famous late Qing scholar in Shandong.
Lao She is very fond of these paintings and calligraphy, which are full of teachers and friends. Later, Lao she fled Ji'nan to Wuhan to join in the war of resistance, and he always remembered these teachers and friends who had not been taken away. In 1943, Lao She also wrote "all around the sky" in Lao She in Chongqing. In the end, Lao she sadly said, "all of them are exquisite works, and they are the gifts they sent at the time of marriage, and they are probably now piled up in Ji'nan's junk stall!"
how much
about half a day, in fact, missing a big event, that is, what's the economic life of Lao She. The literati are ashamed to talk about money, but the matter is great. It is not only related to whether the article is written well or whether it can be written, but also related to the position and attitude of literati. According to the records of the Qilu University before the war of resistance, the monthly salary of Lao She was 240 yuan per month, with a total annual salary of 3168 yuan, of which there were 24 yuan per month for housing subsidies, that is, the average monthly salary was 264 yuan. Considering that a patrol officer earned only seven or eight yuan a month, the monthly salary of a county magistrate was only more than 70 yuan, and the monthly salary was quite high.
at that time, Lao She could write a more than 10 million word novel every summer vacation, first published in a magazine and then published in a separate version, with two remuneration. With all kinds of articles published, Lao She's average monthly income should be around one thousand yuan. So Lao She spent three years teaching in Qi, and bought a house with more than ten houses for his old mother in Beiping. At the same time, Lao She also bought educational savings for his children and bought life insurance for himself and his wife.
in the early 50s of last century, Lao she returned from the United States to become the chairman of the Beijing Literary Federation. At that time, the chairman of the literary union was paid RMB 280 yuan. The money has been brought to the Lao Cultural Revolution. From this point of view, in 30s of last century, when Lao She was in Ji'nan, it was probably the time when he earned the most money in his life. Lao She said that Ji'nan is his second hometown. The second hometown is not only emotional, but also economic and literary creation.
