Chapter 1: Spring springs and butterfly returns (1905-1913)
In the 31st year of Guangxu's reign, on the day when Baotu Spring surged again, Zhang Guoguan was born in Shizikou, Wulu, Jinan. His father, Zhang Wusheng, was a government official, and his mother, Wang, was a teacher. When he was young, he learned Xingyiquan from his father, and became his teacher under "Northern Xia" Wang Zhenshan. When he was five years old, he fell into the Five Dragon Pond and saw Qin Qiong holding him in a trance to escape danger; when he was six years old, he tore down the wall in Changchun to peek at Taoist priests practicing martial arts; when he was eight years old, he and Bai Wenli, a Hui nationality boy, had a grudge and reconciled with each other because of sandbags, and they first learned about "magnanimity". When I was ten years old, I listened to my father telling about the famous people of Jinan throughout the ages - Dashun, Bian Que, Min Ziqian, Bao Shuya, Zou Yan, Zhong Jun, Fu Sheng, Dongfang Shuo, Fang Xuanling, Qin Qiong, Li Qingzhao, Xin Qiji, Zhang Yanghao... Butterflies flying by the spring, roots are beginning to form.
Chapter 2: The Age of Gears (1913-1926)
When I entered Haixing Elementary School, I saw Teacher Sun playing the piano in the church, and for the first time I realized that "people can have many appearances." After entering Jimei Middle School, he met Sun Jiashu again, and first met Lin Sidie, the granddaughter of the Wanzhuyuan warlord, who cared about raising butterflies. After being admitted to Jinan No. 1 Middle School, he met Shao Mingyuan and joined the Gear Literary Club founded by Hu Yepin. Among his classmates were Ji Xianlin and Zang Kejia. Lin Sidi's family fell into disgrace and went to Xiamen to teach. After graduation, he decided to go south and apply for Huangpu.
