I was shocked to learn that Mr. Zhou Youguang, the father of Chinese Pinyin in China, passed away, but I remember that his wife was Zhang Chonghe. Zhang Chonghe has three sisters, who were born in a scholarly family and married a scholar. Such as Zhang Zhaohe and Shen Congwen. At the same time, it reminds me of the famous three sisters of the Song family during the Republic of China.

The four sisters in Hefei refer to the four sisters of the Zhang family:,,,. The Zhang family is a famous family in history, whose ancestral home is Hefei. His great-grandfather was Zhang Shusheng, governor of Zhili of Guangdong and Guangxi, his father was Zhang Wuling, an educator in Suzhou, and his mother was also a famous Suzhou family. From 65438 to 1960, the Zhang family helped the Qing army to suppress the Taiping army, and made great contributions, which brought the family a prominent position and wealth. Moreover, the four sisters have received a good family education since childhood, and under the influence of their father, they can all be said to be beautiful and talented. Therefore, the family background of the four sisters in Hefei is actually not worse than that of the Song sisters.

Then why aren't the four sisters in Hefei as famous as the Song sisters? Because the influence of politicians is far greater than that of everyone in the cultural circle.

Yuan He, the eldest of the four sisters in Hefei, loves literature and is a famous Kunqu opera performance artist Furukawa. My wife. Is Zhang Yuanhe Furukawa? Opera fans, in that society at that time, the feelings between aristocratic families and actors in the upper class were completely ignored, but the common love for opera made Zhang Yuanhe marry this man without hesitation;

Second sister Zhang Yunhe is an emotional linguist, Zhou Youguang. Zhang Yunhe was stubborn and evil, but he was expelled by the war. Husband often runs away, daughter dies of appendicitis, and son is hit by stray bullets.

The love story between Third Sister Zhang Zhaohe and Shen Congwen is well known. She is the most famous of the four sisters. At first, Shen Congwen fell in love with Zhang Zhaohe at first sight, but Zhang Zhaohe didn't think highly of her older mentor. With Shen Congwen's strong pursuit of literature and Hu Shi's mediation, Zhang Zhaohe finally married this spoony great writer.

Zhang Chonghe, the fourth sister, is good at poetry and calligraphy, and she is knowledgeable. She married Hans Hermannt Frankel, a German-American, and moved to the United States on 1949.

Then why aren't the four sisters in Hefei as famous as the Song sisters? Because the influence of politicians is far greater than that of everyone in the cultural circle.

The Song sisters Song Ailing, Soong Ching Ling and Song Meiling married Kong Xiangxi, Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek respectively. These three people are not political leaders, and they all have certain influence and contribution to the historical development of China. Moreover, the Song sisters have the right to love money, people and love, so it can be said that her influence can not be underestimated.

On the other hand, the four sisters in Hefei, although all of them are brilliant, have shifted their focus to the family after marriage and rarely made public appearances to become their husbands' wives, so their influence and popularity will naturally be lower than that of the Song sisters.
