During the Republic of China period, there was a strange woman in the pear garden circle, which attracted five presidents to pursue, as long as there is her field, the stage is always full, and the ticket price of the performance is much higher than others, she is Liu Xikui.
There is a saying in the pear garden industry that "men have Mei Lanfang, women have Liu Xikui", and you can imagine how high her popularity is. Such a beautiful person is bound to attract the attention of all kinds of heroes Haojie, and the story around such a strange woman will also unfold.
Liu Xikui's grandfather Liu Youming was a left attendant of the Ministry of Works during the Qing Dynasty, and after the death of his grandfather, the Liu family gradually declined.
It is said that Liu Xikui's father used to be a repair worker in an arsenal, during the war, went to the battlefield to repair the battleship, but the battleship was sunk by the enemy, her father was lucky to jump into the sea to escape, fortunately, Fu Dafeng was killed, and was washed ashore by the sea, which saved a small life.
Since then, he has been hiding his name, and when the situation is stable, he will receive his wife and daughter from Tianjin to Lushun, not wanting Japan and Russia to start a war in Lushun. Liu Xikui's family was forced to flee from Lushun to Dalian, where they lived in a shabby housing area.
However, not long after the good days, Liu Yiwen became seriously ill, in order not to disturb his father's recuperation, the young and active Liu Xikui ran to the next door to play in the drama class, and he would hum a sentence or two after a long time.
After Liu Yiwen's death, Liu Xikui's mother and daughter lived a very difficult life, the mother washed clothes and mended clothes to maintain the family, at that time there was a person named Li Hai, who opened a class next to him, called "Zi Zi Skin Yellow Two Pots", rehearsed and performed all day, and the young Liu Xikui often followed the side to steal two lessons.
I don't know if it is the heavens pity this baby girl or how, one day this class is going to go on stage to perform the program, but the girl who plays the heroine is sick and can't get on the stage, but the advertisement has been played, the lack of the heroine Of this play can not be performed, can not be performed will cause huge losses to their drama garden, and later passed out in the industry can not be mixed, this can make Li Hai anxious.
Suddenly someone told Li Hai that Xiao Xikui could sing a lot of songs, and she could try it. Li Hai hurriedly turned around, thinking: There is no better solution than this at the moment, so I have to gamble. Then Li Hai brought Liu Xikui to the stage, Liu Xikui made his first appearance, singing a play, suddenly captured the audience's heart, her tone was crisp and clear, her appearance was even more unspeakable, and after singing, she received a series of praise.
Since then, she has become famous in the pear garden industry.
Ten years later, Liu Xikui is already a popular fried chicken, whenever she appears on stage, the stage is full, many people come from far away to listen to Liu Xikui sing, and many bosses hire her to sing at a high price.
At that time, yuan shikai, the president of the Republic of China, also wanted to invite Liu Xikui to sing a play for herself, and Liu Xikui's friends around her advised her not to go, saying that Yuan Shikai must have played some ghost idea on you, how could Liu Xikui not know what Yuan Shikai's heart was, but if he did not go, Yuan Shikai would definitely find trouble, and it would be bad to involve the innocent victims of the whole theater garden.
After Liu Xikui performed for Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai did launch an offensive. He wanted to include Liu Xikui in his list of many aunts and wives, and ordered his men to go to Liu Xikui's residence with a heavy dowry, just to convey the meaning of the president, but Liu Xikui immediately refused, saying that even if he gave more money, he would not agree to marry Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai's men had no choice but to fight and return home.
Yuan Shikai knew that he was out of the play, but Yuan Shikai's son Yuan Kewen knew that his opportunity had come, this Yuan Kewen had also pursued Liu Xikui a long time ago, but he was helplessly rejected, so he found the right time and launched a fierce attack on Liu Xikui. But Liu Xikui was not only not moved, but also made her even more disgusted with Yuan Kewen.
In addition to Yuan Shikai and Yuan Kewen, there are also Li Yuanhong, Xu Shichang, Feng Guozhang, Zhang Xun, Cao Kun, Lu Jin, these people, they are also infatuated with Liu Xikui, and they have also launched a pursuit offensive, but they are all rejected one by one. Among them, there are five former presidents of the Republic of China, but it is conceivable that Liu Xikui is a wonderful and attractive woman!
But what everyone did not expect was that Liu Xikui, who had so many powerful suitors, unexpectedly married an old man in his 40s, Cui Chengchi, who was a small bureau chief under Lu Jin, because he had the courage to report Lu Jin's corruption, which attracted Liu Xikui, who had never met, to secretly approve of him.
Liu Xikui also let his second uncle say kiss to her, Cui Chengzi knew that he was very happy, but he didn't look good, and he had lung disease, and he let his handsome subordinates go on a blind date on his behalf, Liu Xikui saw that Cui Chengzi was so handsome, and his heart was also happy to blossom. So later this family affair was settled.
When visiting heaven and earth, Liu Xikui hurriedly wanted to see her husband's face, but she didn't want the real Cui Chengzi to make her stunned, and she couldn't accept this fact for a while and directly fainted.
Later, because of the marriage with Liu Xikui, Cui Chengzi was also dismissed, although Liu Xikui was difficult to accept such a husband at first, but then gradually moved by Cui Chengkui's justice, anyway, he also heard about this person at the beginning, and he secretly agreed without meeting, he was not a superficial person, and later accepted him. Not only that, but he also took good care of the sick Cui Chengzi every day.
After Cui Chengzi's death, Liu Xikui no longer appeared in the eyes of the public and lived in seclusion in the hutongs of Beijing. Until the founding of New China, she was invited to be a teacher of the Hebei Zizi class, and after her death, she was buried in the revolutionary cemetery of Babaoshan.
