On December 12, 1936, the Xi'an Incident, before Song Meiling left for Xi'an, she first went to Shanghai to visit a young man named Wei Qianli, a fortune teller.

Soong Mei Ling wanted to ask him if it was dangerous for him to go to Xi'an and whether Chiang Kai-shek was safe.

Wei Qianli gave her a round with Liu Ren and told her that although it was not dangerous to go. Mr. Jiang is also safe.

Wei Qianli this person is very interesting, graduated from Fudan University, but sold for a living, young fame, 24 years old wrote a textbook, passed down to become a classic.

He failed several times in his business, once bought a street shop, and wanted to live a life of wealth and freedom by collecting rent.

Unexpectedly, a fire ruined the way he wanted to lie down and win.

Once bought gold, the result is a big loss.

Many of the businesses that Wei Qianli has invested have ended in loss of money, which is simply a lamp in the investment community.

He looked at his own plate and sighed that he could not be rich and wealthy in this life, he could only be a god stick.

Before the liberation of Shanghai in 1949, he went to Hong Kong and escaped being destroyed.

A clever fortune teller, most of them are trained, they can first ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing.

Sometimes I think that if someone wrote the history of the Republic of China, someone like Wei Qianli would probably be able to enter the "Fang Shu Lie Biography".

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > two, Lin Gengbai</h1>

December 19, 1941, Hong Kong.

A pair of Japanese soldiers blocked a middle-aged scholar and fired several shots at him, and the moment the middle-aged man fell, a thought flashed through his mind:

I finally didn't hide.

The middle-aged man is called Lin Gengbai, 45 years old.

Lin Gengbai was a revolutionary in his youth, and once joined the Iron Blood Eradication Group to assassinate Qing dynasty politicians.

After the Xinhai Revolution, he served as a member of the House of Representatives.

After the April 12 coup d'état in 1927, Lin Gengbai converted to materialism.

Lin Gengbai was also a poet, he had joined the famous Nanshe, and Liu Yazi Zheng Xiaoxu had been very close to him, and he was a self-proclaimed poet.

In 1933, Lin Gengbai wrote: Ten years ago, on the poetry of the present people, Zheng Xiaoxu was the first, and I was the second. If we compare ancient and modern people now, then I am the first, Du Fu is the second, and filial piety cannot be discussed.

Crazy enough.

But Lin Gengbai became famous not because of his status as a revolutionary or poet, but because he was a numerologist.

Lin Gengbai left a book called "Renjian, Numerology Preservation Test", once Luoyang paper expensive, this book is Lin Gengbai to some of the high-ranking officials and dignitaries at that time to approve the case.

Of course, Lin Gengbai also gave himself a life and found that he would have a big hurdle at the age of 45.

At that time, the biggest obstacle was nothing more than the Japanese army invading China and dying in the war.

So his good friend Wei Qianli suggested to him to hide in Hong Kong without war.

Lin Gengbai had just arrived in Hong Kong for ten days, and the Pacific War broke out.

Immediately, the Nationalist government declared war on Japan.

In order to deter patriots in Hong Kong, the Japanese army shot and killed Lin Gengbai at Tsim Sha Tsui.

Although Lin Gengbai has many identities, if there is really a "History of the Republic of China", Lin Gengbai can enter about "Fang Shu Lie Biography".

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="39" > iii, Stuart Redden</h1>

In 1876, the second year of the Guangxu Dynasty, Situ Leiden was born in Hangzhou.

Both of his parents were missionaries, and Stuart Spent His Childhood in China, returning to the United States at the age of 11 to be educated.

When he returned to Hangzhou, the teenager was already holding his wife who was pregnant with Liujia.

In 1908, Stuart Washiden was employed at Jinling Theological Seminary in Nanjing and began his education career in China.

In 1918, Stuart Washiden was invited north to serve as the first president of the famous Yenching University.

Yenching University existed for 33 years, and Stuart Leiden made yenching University the best school in China at that time.

In 1946, on Stuart's 70th birthday, both sides sent important representatives to congratulate him. It was also in this year that Stuart Was appointed U.S. Ambassador to China.

Based on Stuart's knowledge of China, he was the perfect candidate for the position at the time.

But, in the torrent of history, how can a person change an era?

In April 1949, when the People's Liberation Army occupied Nanjing, Stuart Leiden did not withdraw south to Guangzhou with the Kuomintang, he stayed in Nanjing and actively engaged with the new government.

During this period, the U.S. government repeatedly hampered Stuart's work, and June 24 was Stuart's birthday, and Beijing sent an invitation to invite him to Beijing for his birthday.

At this time, the White House sent a letter to Stuart Layden, asking him not to go to Beiping in any form or at any time, completely closing the door to the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States.

Stuart Had to return to China and immediately retired.

But as a symbol of American imperialism, the old man's article "Farewell, Stuart Redden" directly declared the defeat of imperialism in China. Stuart Wasight was also nailed to the pillar.

The man who stood alone and hung in the shadows was Stuart Redden and not Stuart Redden.

Returning to the United States, Stuart Redden was also not in a good situation, he was suspected and harassed by McKinseyists, and later he suffered from cerebral thrombosis and spent the last 13 years of his life in a wheelchair.

On September 19, 1962, Stuart Layden died in Washington, D.C., with his last wish to be buried in China, along with his wife in Yanyuan.

But in that turbulent era, his last wish could only become a regret.

It was not until 46 years later, on the morning of November 17, 2008, that Hangzhou accepted Situ Leiden, and his ashes were buried in The Anxian Garden in mid-levels.

Situ Leiden was born in Hangzhou 132 years ago, when China still had emperors, and China was always beaten by the great powers.

After 132 years, Stuart Leiden returned to Hangzhou, which had been replaced by a new day.

I think he must have been pleased that Stuart Saiden had called himself "a Chinese even more an American."

If someone wrote the history of the Republic of China, about Stuart Layden could also be written into Chinese history, according to tradition, about the "Biography of Xiyi Lie".
