During the Republic of China period, social unrest was unstable, and many people had to leave their homes in order to make a living. And the person who xiaobian said today, when he was young, met his true love and worked hard to pursue, but finally lost to reality, she is the famous drama xiao fengxian of the Republic of China.
Xiao Fengxian was originally named Zhu Xiaofeng, born in Hangzhou, is the daughter of a military attaché of the Manchu Eight Banners, in the last days of the Qing Dynasty, her father was also inexplicably dismissed, and then the family was forced to move to Hunan to live, and finally the father borrowed wine all day to dispel his sorrows, depression and ended, and this also became the beginning of Xiao Fengxian's childhood miserable life.
After the death of her father, she and her mother were bullied by the big house, and finally drove their mother and son out of the house, the two had a difficult life, and finally the mother was seriously ill and had no money to heal and died, while she lived with a nursing mother surnamed Zhang, in order to survive, the nursing mother let her follow an artist surnamed Hu to learn drama, and also took a stage name "Xiao Fengxian".
By 1913, Xiao Fengxian was 13 years old and had become a big girl, when she came to Yunjiban, one of the eight hutongs in Beijing, where high-rollers gathered, to sell and sing for a living. Because of his good looks and exquisite skills, he can read and hyphenate. Soon after, it became a red card that was extremely popular in the early years of the Republic of China.
It was not until 1914 that Xiao Fengxian met the nobleman who changed her life, Cai Yi, the overseer of Yunnan. At that time, Cai E held military power, yuan shikai was afraid of Cai E's rebellion, so he tried his best to win Cai E over, and also named Cai E "General of Shi Wei", but although Cai E superficially agreed, but deep down he was still very resistant, but Yuan Shikai had already seen his disloyalty, so he began to monitor him and put him under house arrest.
And Cai Yi in order to gain yuan shikai's trust, she and her confidant Yang Du, all day long to the Eight Hutongs to find fun, in Yunjiban, Xiao Fengxian met Cai Yi for the first time, saw Cai E's conversation, Xiao Fengxian felt that he was not an ordinary person, and began to treat each other sincerely, Xiao Fengxian was even more heart-wrenching and poured out his life like Cai Yi, the two went through several twists and turns, and soon came together.
And Cai Yi treats Xiao Fengxian as a lady, and is even more affectionate in public, and her fame exceeds Mei Lanfang. And Cai Yi for the sake of Xiao Fengxian, he did not hesitate to fall out with the original wife, and also smashed a lot of things at home to demonstrate like the original match. Discouraged, the wife took her mother-in-law and children back to her hometown.
And Yang Du also informed Yuan Shikai of Cai Yi's wife's run away from home for the first time, and Yuan Shikai said disdainfully after listening to it, "I said that Cai Yi is a capable talent, who can participate in major state affairs, who knows that family affairs cannot be handled well!" Since then, Yuan Shikai has greatly relaxed his guard against Cai Yi.
And Cai Yi knew that Yuan Shikai would not let him go, so when he began to think about getting out, he thought about it, and he thought of Xiao Fengxian. Cai Yi came to Yun Jiban, drank in Xiao Fengxian's room, and then took advantage of the night to escape Beijing, passing through Japan, and finally returned to Yunnan, where he began to call on Yuan Shikai.
At this time, Yuan Shikai woke up like a dream, and it turned out that the departure of his wife was a bitter meat plan directed by Cai Yi himself. After a short time, Cai Yi suffered from throat tuberculosis and finally died in Japan at the age of 34. The news soon spread to Beijing, Xiao Fengxian was sad after learning about it, washed her face with tears all day, in order to bid farewell to the true love she had pursued, she wore a black veil to pay tribute to Cai Yi, and such a blow was even more fatal to her.
Since then, many people have held large amounts of money and only want to see the woman of General Cai Yi. During that time, she met an officer, and the two made a marriage contract, and went to live with the officer in the northeast. But the good times did not last long, and the officers died in the war, leaving a lonely little phoenix.
In 1949, Xiao Fengxian met Li Zhenhai, a boilermaker five years older than her, so she remarried again, married Li Zhenhai, and lived with his 14-year-old daughter as a stepmother. Because of his low level of education, he found a job as a nanny and barely managed to make ends meet at home.
In 1951, Mei Lanfang came to Shenyang to perform, and Xiao Fengxian took the initiative to contact Mei Lanfang, hoping that Mei Lanfang would solve work problems for herself. In the end, Xiao Fengxian was arranged to work as a health worker in the provincial kindergarten, but the good times were not long, Xiao Fengxian suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and his health became worse and worse, and finally died in 1954.
Throughout Xiao Fengxian's life, he pursued his own happiness when he was young, but eventually lost to reality. The two marriages were lonely and lonely, and the old age was miserable, which made people sigh. What do you think about that?
