提起章太炎(丙麟)先生,不少人知道他是近代著名的民主革命思想家和宣传家,却很少有人知道他是一个恃才傲物,不修边幅,行动古怪,风趣四溢的奇人。戊戌变法失败后,积极参与维新活动的章太炎避难台湾。一日,他与同事李书谈起读书的事。李说自己20岁才读书。章太炎大摇其头:“太迟了!我六七岁就开始读书,到20岁就不读了。”李不服气地问:“那你读的书都还记得吗?”“记不全了,不过百分之九十五还能背诵。”李不信,就以自己读过的经书询问,章不但一一背诵,而且连哪一句在书中的第几页都说得清清楚楚。李书惊得目瞪口呆。辛亥革命的胜利果实被袁世凯窃取后,章太炎被袁软禁在北京,终日借酒浇愁。一天,他蓬头垢面,手持羽扇,扇柄上挂着袁世凯亲授的二级大勋章,足蹬破靴,摇摇晃晃地径直闯入总统府接待室,指名要见袁世 Mr. Zhang Taiyan (Professor Lin Lin) was mentioned. Many people knew that he was a famous modern democratic revolutionary thinker and propagandist. However, few people knew that he was an awe-inspiring, slovenly, slovenly, weird, and funny man. After the failure of the Reform Movement in 1898, Zhang Taiyan, who was actively involved in the reforms, took refuge in Taiwan. One day, he and his colleague Li Shu talked about reading. Li said that he only read when he was 20 years old. Zhang Taiyan shook her head: “It’s too late! I started reading at the age of six or seven, and I didn’t read it when I was 20.” Li was not convinced: “Do you still remember the books you read?” However, only 95 percent of them can recite it.” Li does not believe that he asked the Bible book that he had read. The chapter not only recite it one by one, but also which one of the pages in the book is clearly stated. Li Shu was stunned. After the fruits of the victory of the Revolution of 1911 were stolen by Yuan Shikai, Zhang Taiyan was imprisoned by Yuan in Beijing. He was drunk all day long. One day, he was unkempt, carrying a lupine fan, and the second class medal that Yuan Shikai had given himself to the fan handle, broke his boots and staggered straight into the reception room of the presidential palace.
