Новые вопросы изучения классической китайской литературы... Issues of Far Eastern Literatures. Vol. 1. 2018 185 Famous poet and scholar of 1920s-1930s —AYing ( 䱯㤡 , real name — Qian Defu, 1900–1977) took earnest interest in Huang’s works. In late 1920s, A Ying had read the “Liang Dang Xuan” collection for the first time and was moved and overwhelmed by the soulful poems. From that day on within the following ten years, A Ying, aside from his own work and participation in the revolutionary creative work, was also engaged in collecting materials to write the “Critical biography of Huang Zhongze”; A Ying acquired various versions of the “Liang Dang Xuan” xylographicas, etc. In 1932, prior to the January 28 Incident ,  1 A Ying repeatedly visited the Eastern Library at the Commercial Press in his free time to look for any materials concerning Huang. Apart from poetry editions per se, A Ying was also interested in any collections of Huang Jingren’s friends, wherein his name would be mentioned. Most of all, he admired two poetry collections, “Juanshige” and “Notes of Suxiang”. The “Juanshige” collection of poems authored by Huang’s friend, Hong Liangji, naturally, included many works devoted to Huang and manifesting genuine feelings of friendship that the friends harbored for each other. The other collection, “Notes of Suxiang”, was created by Jin Wuxiang (Suxiang was his second name, 1841–1925) and contained critical comments on Huang’s works. A Ying also collected many other sources, of information, which resulted in an article titled “On Huang Zhongze” published on August 6, 1933 in a then-popular newspaper “Shen Bao”. His own literary activity and the necessity to labor for a living did not allow A Ying to fulfill his dearest wish — write his favorite poet’s critical biography. In 1933, he wrote in his article “On Huang Zhongze”, “ It has been ten years since I decided to write the “Critical biography of Huang Zhongze’; many materials, as well as various copies of the “Liang Dang Xuan” collection have been gathered. However, due to the necessity to gain a living, there was no free time left, therefore I have not yet taken on this writing. It is difficult to say when this desire of mine will be fulfilled. Unable to sleep at night, I kept thinking about this important affair, hence I got up and wrote this article. Upon finishing it, I lifted up my head and looked at the stars and the moon in the sky and once again recollected inadvertently a line from Huang’s poem: ‘For whose sake do I stand, drenched with dew and blown by winds, up to midnight?’” [2; p. 269] Unfortunately, A Ying never managed to compile Huang Jingren’s biography. In 1930s, the Beixin Press (Beixin shu ju ेᯠҖተ ) released the first “Critical biography of Huang Jingren” ( Huang Zhongze pingzhuan lj哴Ԣ ࡉ 䇴ՐNJ ) compiled by ZhangYiping ( ㄐ㺓㨽 ). Moreover, similar biographies of DingYunqin ( б㮤㣩 ), Wu He ( Խਸ ) and other authors came out later. Collections of Huang 1 During the Second Sino-Japanese War, on January 28, 1932, Japanese naval forces bombarded Shanghai; the declared mission was to suppress student demonstrations against the Mukden Incident and the subsequent Japanese occupation of Manchuria.
