Independence refers not only to independence in life, but also to spiritual independence. For women, the word "independence" has gradually entered everyone's thinking in modern times, and in ancient times, there were few women who were truly spiritually independent like Li Qingzhao and Wu Zetian, and most of them were attached to men, which was also a social phenomenon formed by the influence of ancient feudal thought. In ancient times, there were also poems praising independent women, such as Li Yannian's writing: "There are beautiful people in the north, and the world is unique and independent."
Since ancient times, whether in feudal antiquity or in modern times when thought is relatively open, most people believe that getting married and having children is the only way for people in this world. But there are also many people who agree with this view, but for various reasons have delayed their marriage events.
Such was the case with a major general born in Henan, his name was Liu Zhendong, he grew up in a poor family, he joined the Kuomintang as a soldier when he was 17 years old, and since then he has begun to run on the battlefield, so he has been busy on the battlefield until he is in his forties and has not yet started a family. Liu Zhendong was in charge of managing the warehouse in the Kuomintang camp in Beiping, and was introduced by a friend to a woman named Fu Yufang.
After half a year of understanding and falling in love, the two married in Beiping in the summer of 1947, and their son rented a house in Baimi Xie Street in Xicheng, settled in his new home, and lived happily after marriage. Although life is very happy, there is always a doubt in Liu Zhendong's heart, that is, he thinks that he does not know his wife so well.
Because, she will not only know the word but also English, the personality is also gentle and elegant, the temperament emitted by the whole person is completely different from the average newspaper girl, this look is born in a large family and a well-educated woman, although Liu Zhendong also asked his wife, but the wife has diverged from the topic, and Liu Zhendong, who is interesting, does not ask more. After six years of marriage, Liu Zhendong inadvertently learned that his wife was a former imperial concubine of the Qing Dynasty.
Fu Yufang, also known as Erdet. Wen Xiu, she was born in 1909 in the Manchu Eight Banners family, the father of the late Qing Dynasty internal affairs minister Duan Gong, her mother Jiang Shi was her father's second wife, she also had a younger sister named Wen Shan. When Wen Xiu was 8 years old, her mother sent her to a private primary school, and she used the name Fu Yufang during her schooling. Since she was a child, she has achieved excellent grades during her studies, and the teachers of the professors have liked her very much.
Until 1922, the 14-year-old Wen Xiu was elected as Puyi's imperial concubine, and from then on she did not have to go to the academy to study, and the name Fu Yufang could not be continued, Wen Xiu listened to the fifth uncle Hua Kan at home all day to teach the etiquette between the monarchs and courtiers, as well as the cumbersome palace rules, during which Wen Xiu also needed to read the "Daughter Sutra".
At the end of 1922, Wen Xiu entered the palace a day earlier than Empress Wanrong, but on the wedding night, Puyi did not enter the new house of Wen Xiu, the "Lady Concubine". The next day, after the empress entered the palace, Puyi was still in this style, staying alone in the Yangxin Hall, and no one was favored.
After entering the palace, the life is very simple, every morning after washing, I first go to Puyi's palace to greet Ann, and then go to the empress's bedchamber to greet Ann, and after asking Ann in turn, Wen Xiu will return to the Changchun Palace where she lives, and when there is nothing to do, Wen Xiu is either embroidery or teach the palace women to recognize words. In the palace, Wen Xiu's quiet and courteous manners were praised by almost all the servants, although it did not change Puyi's snub for her, but she also fell at ease.
Later, Puyi hired an English teacher for her, and she not only made rapid progress in studying hard, but her thinking became more open with learning. After Puyi became a puppet, Wen Xiu and others also followed Puyi to live in Tianjin, and the Japanese promised Puyi that they would protect their safety and would help him restore the Qing Dynasty in the future. Wen Xiu, who saw the face of the Japanese, has been persuading Puyi that Japan is not credible, but puyi did not listen to Wen Xiu's persuasion, but began to dislike Wen Xiu and snubbed her.
Wen embroidery has also suffered a lot of unfair treatment as a result. Later, with the help of her sister Wen Shan and niece Yu Fen, she filed for divorce. After the divorce, Wen Xiu returned to Beiping, and in 1932 resumed using the name Fu Yufang, working as a teacher in a private elementary school.
After the "July 7" incident, Peiping fell, Wenxiu was also threatened by those dog legs who relied on Japanese power, and finally Wenxiu became a poor ordinary person, she pasted cartons, worked as a coolie in the tile team, and also sold cigarettes in the streets and alleys. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, she entered the North China Daily under the introduction of a friend and became a newspaper proofreader, and it was also under the care of the president of the newspaper that she met her husband Liu Zhendong.
In September 1953, at the age of 44, Wen Xiu died of a sudden myocardial infarction at her home in Beiping, she had no children in her life, only her husband was with her when she died, and the affairs behind her were also handled by Liu Zhendong, and finally Wen Xiu was buried in the Cemetery outside and outside anding gates in Beijing, and Liu Zhendong never married a wife after this.
