Marriage and love
1932 In the spring, Jiang Yang was admitted to Tsinghua University and met Qian Zhongshu.

Interesting role
Don't disturb father's lunch break.
Once, she took a book and sat in her father's room, turning it quietly. When she needs to go to the toilet or get something, she is as quiet as a kitten. When my father woke up, he saw the little angel Jiang Yang quietly accompanying him, and his heart thumped. What a vulgar "little cotton-padded jacket" can compare! Father said, "Actually, I like company, just don't make any noise." From then on, I had to stay with Jiang Yang during my lunch break.
Speak bravely and wear high heels.
Less than 100 days later, Jiang Yang was born in Beijing and moved to Shanghai with his parents. At the age of four, he returned to Beijing with his parents.
Originally living in Dongcheng, the landlord was Manchu, so I learned that Manchu women wore "banbantou", cheongsam and high heels. Their high soles are not embedded in the back roots of shoes like Shanghainese, but in the middle of soles, commonly known as "high-top shoes", or they can be divided into "flowerpot-bottom" shoes or "horseshoe-bottom" shoes according to their shapes. Wearing these shoes, Manchu women not only have a sharp increase in height, but also lean forward and lean back with graceful posture when walking. My father once asked Jiang Yang, "Do you want to wear these high heels when you grow up?" Jiang Yang thought carefully for a while and replied, "Yes!" .
Be sensible and pick up rice grains.
Jiang Yang entered the primary school attached to Bicai Hutong Women's Normal University at the age of six. She doesn't go home at noon and cooks at school. One day, primary school students were having lunch when suddenly a group of guests arrived, accompanied by none other than Jiang Yang's third aunt Yang Yinyu, who was then the "educational director" of Women's Normal University. When the distinguished guests came, the restaurant was in awe, and the pupils were immersed in eating, and there was silence. Jiang Yang turned his back on the door and didn't see the situation clearly. She ate so much that many grains of rice fell in front of her. When Third Aunt saw this, she hurried to her and whispered something in her ear. Jiang Yang realized this and quickly picked up the rice and put it in his mouth. The children next to her saw it and did as she did.
Style of works
The success of language in Jiang Yang's literary works is obvious to all. Its calm and concise language seems dull, without yin or shine, but plain and not bad, with yin and shine hidden in it. In the simplicity of painstaking management after rinsing, gorgeous and gorgeous, clean and clear language has become a great expressive force in Jiang Yang's works. Sometimes it's cold, but it adds a little agility because of humor, so that quiet and serious language has its own vitality, static but not boring, alive but not floating, static in motion and dynamic in motion. There is a kind of calm, sophisticated and elegant style in silent humor, and a kind of neutral, quiet and transcendental beauty after the edge is restrained. (Excerpted from The Marginal Man-On Jiang Yang's Creation, Literature Review No.5 1995) Jiang Yang's writing is elegant and unique. What is even more rare is that when she used this wet pen to describe those unforgettable past events, she was much more calm, more nervous and thought-provoking than those tearful stories.
