Speaking of Mulan, it can be said that she is a well-known figure, a woman dressed as a man, a surrogate father to join the army, leading soldiers to fight for twelve years, but no one found that she was a daughter, which can be said to be a hidden sky across the sea. However, the history is too long to be studied, but in modern times, there is an incident of men dressed as women, which has caused a sensation in the entire Western world, French diplomats fell in love with Chinese dramas, gave birth to a son, and only learned that his wife was a man 18 years later.
Shi Peipu
Shi Peipu, male, born in Shandong in 1938, has a great yearning for Peking Opera since childhood, performed with Guan Sushuang when he was a teenager, and later became the apprentice of Xiaosheng Jiang Miaoxiang, performing "Qi Shuanghui" in the auditorium of Peking University, which can be said to be a young fame in the Peking Opera circle. After that, he served as a screenwriter, actor and secretary of the Beijing Youth Theater Troupe.
In the 1960s, a French diplomat named Bursico, working in Beijing, met Shi Peipu, a huadan actor dressed as a woman, at a cocktail party. Shi Peipu, whose skin was better than snow and his demeanor was elegant, soon attracted Bursiko, and the two often met in private, and slowly began to become familiar.
Bursiko and Shi Peipu
On a date, Shi Peipu took Bursico to the park, quoted the allusion of "Liang Zhuhua Butterfly", and told him that she was a woman, because her father preferred sons to daughters, and her mother gave birth to two daughters in a row, in order to prevent her father's abandonment, she raised herself as a boy from an early age. After Hearing this, Bursiko not only did not resent it, but was very happy in his heart.
It turned out that when Bursiko got along with Shi Peipu before, he had already been attracted by Shi Peipu's temperament and had a heart of admiration, but he thought he was a man and did not dare to open his mouth. Now that they know their true identity, they boldly confess to each other, and the two quickly fall in love. Whenever the two make love, Shi Peipu always carries out under the lights on the grounds that the oriental woman is reserved.
Bursiko with small children
Soon after, Bursiko needed to return to China for work reasons and wanted to take his wife with him, at which point Shi Peipu told him that he was pregnant with his child and wanted to give birth in China. Bursiko's excited hand trembled slightly, and before leaving, he promised Pei Pu that he would come back after his work was completed.
Bursiko was gone for four years, and the two lost contact for four full years, and when he crossed many difficulties and returned to China as promised, he was reunited with Shi Peipu again. The difference is that this time there is a four-year-old child, and Bursiko calls him the "crystallization of love" between the two, and the family of three gathers together.
Shi Peipu and Bursiko were tried
The good times did not last long, and Shi Peipu hid the child and told him that the family had been monitored and needed to protect the child. At that time, Bursiko believed it to be true, and constantly provided Shi Peipu with some French intelligence, which could protect the child, but in fact, he did not know that the child was adopted in Xinjiang.
In 1982, Bursico won an opportunity to take Shi Peipu back to France in the name of cultural exchange, although the two did not register, but they had already regarded Shi Peipu as a wife and took her back to his hometown to see, but at this time it attracted the attention of the French Security Service. In June of the following year, the couple was arrested on espionage charges and sentenced to six years in prison.

At the same time, Shi Peipu's gender was also announced, he was a man, and had never had sex reassignment surgery, Bursiko naturally killed him and did not believe it, how could this be. However, when Pei Pu stood in front of him, he was suddenly like ashes and his heart was in pain.
From 1965 to 1983, Bursiko could not accept that his wife, who had lived with him for eighteen years, turned out to be a man who had attempted suicide in prison and was fortunately rescued. After their release from prison, the relationship between the two completely broke down, Shi Peipu did not return to China, and has been settling in Paris, while Bursiko never wanted to see each other again, and spent his life in pain and regret.
