In the old days of Shanghai Beach, dragons and tigers fought and feuded, and the "three tycoons of Shanghai" ran rampant in the street market and had both money and power. Du Yuesheng, who is known as the "Emperor of Shanghai", is his world in black and white, and people in both provinces must act according to his face. However, in his later years, Du Yuesheng's general trend has gone, and his strength and financial resources are not as good as before, but he is at ease in Hong Kong.
He heard that Meng Xiaodong's life in Beijing was very unsatisfactory, and his heart was always thinking about her. Later, Meng Xiaodong came to Hong Kong, in Hong Kong, Du Yuesheng was ill, sat in a chair and endured pain, and held a simple wedding with Meng Xiaodong. Unfortunately, the time left for the two people to be together was less than a year, and Du Yuesheng left in a hurry. How does Meng Xiaodong, who is only one person, live in Hong Kong? Today we're going to talk about their stories.
First, from a poor and white to Du Yuesheng who dominates Shanghai
As we all know, if you want to be a triad, you also need to have a certain foundation. And Du Yuesheng, when he was one year old, he had no mother, his father died of illness very early, and later, his stepmother could no longer support the young Du Yuesheng. It is really impressive that Du Yuesheng, who called the heavens and the earth should not return, was able to embark on the road of the underworld.
Desperate, he came to Shanghai to work for others to earn money, and the founder of the Qinggang, his wife, Sister Fa, actually took a fancy to him and persuaded him to join the Qinggang. The eldest sister took the initiative to lead Du Yuesheng, but she was constantly disliked.
Jin Rong, the founder of the Green Gang, heard that his little brother would be disliked by others, didn't he not look at himself in the eyes? So the angry Jin Rong raised a large amount of money for Du Yuesheng's relatives. Du Yuesheng was very grateful to Jin Rong, so he worked harder for the Qing Gang to repay Jin Rong's kindness. Jin Jinrong was also very optimistic about Du Yuesheng and made him a casino owner.
Du Yuesheng did not live up to the hopes of the boss, the casino was managed to a prosperous manner, Du Yuesheng's interpersonal relations are getting better and better, Du Yuesheng has become a figure with a head and a face on the beach. After Jin Rong's death, he gave up the position of the boss of the Qing gang to Du Yuesheng, and Du Yuesheng became the boss of the Qing gang, and his reputation reached its peak.
Second, the tragic life of Meng Xiaodong, a genius of Peking Opera
Meng Xiaodong's family is a drama team, and the whole family is from singing Peking Opera. She began to contact Peking Opera at the age of 5 under the leadership of her elders, played a supporting role on stage at the age of 7, and at the age of 12, she was able to hang her own name and play the starring role, and soon got the recognition of the majority of theater friends, so that many people liked, she was also known as the "Winter Emperor of Pear Garden".
She got along well with Mei Lanfang, who is also a famous actor in Peking Opera, and the two often performed on the same stage, and many people also strongly supported their combination, so soon after, Meng Xiaodong married Mei Lanfang, who looked like a green plum bamboo horse. But it turns out that Mei Lanfang is not a good husband, and his various promises to Meng Xiaodong are like bubbles, blowing away. And Mei Lanfang's second wife is narrow-minded, very unwilling to see Meng Xiaodong, who has just married, and even does not let her step into the house half a step.
Later, Meng Xiaodong's fans assassinated Mei Lanfang, although the assassination attempt was unsuccessful, But Meng Xiaodong was regarded as a disaster star, and Mei Lanfang's second wife strongly demanded to drive her away. Mei Lanfang's partiality to the second wife made the contradiction more and more intense, until later, Meng Xiaodong was actually refused to attend the funeral of Mei Lanfang's aunt, that is, she was not recognized by this family at all, and Meng Xiaodong, who could not bear it, broke with Mei Lanfang.
Meng Xiaodong, whose marriage failed, no longer performed on stage and concentrated on the art of Peking Opera, and Du Yuesheng in Hong Kong has been paying attention to Meng Xiaodong for a long time. Under Du Yuesheng's continuous insistence, Meng Xiaodong finally agreed to Du Yuesheng's pursuit, but Du Yuesheng died a year later, and Meng Xiaodong was destined to live alone.
Third, after Du Yuesheng's death, Meng Xiaodong lived alone
Meng Xiaodong stayed alone in Hong Kong with Du Yuesheng's inheritance, but as the "Winter Emperor of Pear Garden", she has long been famous, and many people still want to invite her to perform on stage. But Meng Xiaodong considered that he was already the du family's wife, so he politely refused them.
Many people also came to the door and asked her to teach the art of Peking Opera, but this time Meng Xiaodong did not refuse, and she carefully selected several people to be accepted as apprentices. But the conditions of her selection were harsh, and only a few of the many people who came to her door to request succeeded in becoming her apprentices. Her apprentices were also very accomplished, and some of them became later Masters of Peking Opera.
After living alone in Hong Kong for more than a decade, Meng Xiaodong was invited by Yao Yulan to live in Taiwan. Meng Xiaodong then got Taiwan through several vicissitudes, and she spent the rest of her life here. At the age of 70, Meng Xiaodong spent the happiest day of her old age, but soon after she left this world forever due to illness.
epilogue:
Meng Xiaodong's life went up and down, and she married two big people at that time, and in the end she was still alone and had to rely on herself to support herself. Therefore, only when people are strong in themselves can they truly live happily in this world forever. Not relying on others and constantly improving your own ability is the survival law of this society.
