许广平与蔡廷锴“邻居”“交际”之说纯属想象——对林曼叔先生质疑的无语回应及一点澄清

“XU Guangping and CAI Tingkai were Neighbours” is Pure Fabrication:Speechless Responses to Mr LIN Manxhu's Challenges and a Clarification

林曼叔先生与笔者对鲁迅访港演讲一事有不同看法。林先生认为关键人物叶少泉是蔡廷锴的部下,与鲁迅访港无关,并对笔者的质疑提出质疑,但没有提供新材料,只增添蔡廷锴是许广平亲戚许崇智下属的理由。经查核,许崇智当时已寓居上海,跟蔡廷锴也没有渊源。为彻底排除林先生的假设,本文查找了蔡廷锴当时的住处,发现蔡廷锴当时家在乡下罗定,自己则住军营,在广州并无住所。而且在许广平回穗前,蔡廷锴已带部下叶少泉北伐,转战两湖,两人根本不在广州。所谓许、蔡邻居因此认识蔡的部下叶少泉,纯属凭空想象。以这些凭空想象来否定研究者支持赵今声有关邀请鲁迅赴港演讲记述的推论,也就无法成立。

Mr LIN Manshu and the author of this paper have different opinions about LU Xun's lecture tour in Hong Kong in1927. Mr LIN argues that YE Shaoquan, a person generally believed to have played a key role in inviting LU Xun to Hong Kong, was actually a subordinate under CAI Tingkai's command and had nothing to do with LU Xun's visit to Hong Kong. In response to my challenges, Mr LIN only added another reason for his argument that CAI Tingkai was a subordinate under XU Guangping's remote relative Xu Chongzhi's command without providing new supporting material.However, Xu Chongzhi was in Shanghai at that time and had no close relationship with CAI Tingkai. To debunk Mr LIN 's hypophysis, this paper found that CAI's home was in Luo ding and CAI himself lived in the barrack in Qinzhou. CAI did not have residence in Guangzhou. Furthermore, before XU Guangping went back to Guangzhou, CAI and YE had already joined the Northern Expedition campaign fighting in Hunan and Hubei and were not in Guangzhou. Therefore, Mr LIN's assertions that CAI Tingkai and XU Guangping were neighbours and XU Guangping made acquaintance with YE Shaoquan through her neighbour were pure fabrication. This fabrication cannot negate ZHAO Jinsheng's version of LU Xun's lecture tour in Hong Kong and other researchers' elaboration on ZHAO Jinsheng's account of the event.
