preface
In special times, many people choose to hide their past in anonymity. On the surface, they seem to be like all ordinary people, but in fact they may have a special background.
For example, a national major general, he always thought that his wife was an ordinary printing factory female worker, but before his wife died, he learned a big secret, his wife turned out to be the last imperial concubine.
The background of this legend shocked the National Major General, what is going on here?
She was a Qing Dynasty imperial concubine
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, some of the concubines in the imperial palace left one after another, hiding in the crowd and living ordinary lives, except for the particularly famous Wanrong, the whereabouts of others were not known.
There is such a woman, she has been trained in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she was elected to the palace as a teenager. However, she did not get Puyi's favor, because this woman spoke straight and often made Puyi feel bad, so she was never too close to her.
After the relationship broke down, she boldly filed for divorce from Puyi and has been free ever since.
However, the matter of her divorce still caused a certain sensation, and in that conservative era, some people thought that women should end up after marriage. Filing for divorce when your husband is in distress is not commendable.
But this woman did not think so, she changed her name to Fu Yufang, and began a new life. Unfortunately, the people did not accept her, and anyone who knew her true identity always wanted to gain benefits from her or deceive her.
Fu Yufang was stubborn by nature, and she refused to ask for help, so she went to the printing plant to do hard work.
In the new environment, she did not mention her former identity again, and also entrusted someone to introduce herself to the blind date, so by coincidence, she met liu Zhendong, a major general of the people.
The two people fell in love, and soon after they talked about marriage. After marriage, Liu Zhendong found that there were some things unusual, his wife was an ordinary female worker, why did she have a high musical literacy and a lot of culture.
What kind of childhood experience and background did she have?
Liu Zhendong did not understand, and Fu Yufang was not willing to disclose this, whenever others asked, she always changed her face, over time, Liu Zhendong did not dare to ask more, he wanted to respect his wife's feelings.
As the days passed, my wife became seriously ill. After watching for a short time, the wife finally revealed the inner secret that had been buried for many years, and it turned out that she was a very famous last imperial concubine Wenxiu.
Divorced the Emperor
The last emperor Puyi once ascended the throne twice, but neither could change his tragic fate. Accompanying him were two women, one was Empress Wanrong and the other was Wen Xiu.
Because Puyi lost his sexual ability at an early age, he was very distant from his concubines, and after Wen Xiu entered the palace, he often had to pass the boring time alone.
Later, Wen Xiu invited two teachers, one to teach himself English and one to teach himself literature, so that the days became full.
After Puyi was expelled from the Forbidden City, Wen Xiu also followed him out of the palace.
Puyi is bent on making a comeback with the strength of the Japanese, but Wenxiu strongly opposes all this, she hates the brutality of the Japanese, and believes that if she accepts the help of Japan, she will be caught by the other side. However, when she told Puyi her ideas, Puyi was stubborn and bent on establishing a puppet manchukuo in the northeast.
Puyi did not like Wenxiu to put forward opinions on various decisions, so he deliberately snubbed Wenxiu, no matter where he went, he only took a gentle person, so that Wenxiu had no face in front of everyone.
In the later stage, even the next person had to deliberately make it difficult for Wen Xiu, knowing that she had fallen out of favor.
In desperation, Wen Xiu decided to divorce. She hired a number of lawyers to help her fight the divorce lawsuit, which was the only big news at the time. Once the emperor represented supreme power, now someone wants to divorce the emperor.
Find a happy marriage
Wen Xiu won the divorce lawsuit and received compensation of tens of thousands of silver dollars. Originally, this money could be enough for her to live a carefree life in the second half of her life. But after she settled in Beiping, people often came to her for trouble.
Everyone hopes that she will tell Puyi's secret story, or hope to get some rare antiques from her hands. Wen Xiu was overwhelmed, and she had to sneak away. Finally, in desperation, she went to the printing factory and became an ordinary female worker.
The former generation of imperial princesses has long since shed her aura, and perhaps a low-key and plain life is more suitable for her. Whether it is the life of pampering in the palace, or the days of worrying after arriving in the northeast, it is better to be down-to-earth.
Wen Xiu accepted his fate and accepted his second husband, Liu Zhendong. Liu Zhendong began as a soldier from an early age, and after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he was already in his 40s.
Wen Xiu and him saw the same thing, and did not think that he was older. And Liu Zhendong first saw Wen Xiu, and was also attracted by her unique temperament, only to feel that she was not like an ordinary female worker.
Although Wen Xiu concealed her identity, she told Liu Zhendong that she was already married for the second time, and Liu Zhendong did not mind.
Unfortunately, by 1953, Wen Xiu's body was no longer as good as before, and he was only 44 years old when he died. She did not want to hide her past from her husband anymore, so she confided in her that she was the imperial concubine.
After Liu Zhendong learned his wife's secret, although he was shocked, he did not blame his wife for hiding it. Because he and Wen Xiu had a very good relationship, Liu Zhendong did not remarry. Until his death in old age, he still remembered the embroidery.
epilogue
Wen Xiu's fate in this life is very legendary, and in the early years she could not grasp the trajectory of life. Whether she was sent to the palace or followed Puyi to the northeast, she could not decide.
But when she knew that she was deeply involved in the mire of marriage, she boldly filed for divorce and became the first woman to divorce the emperor.
In that era when divorce was bound, Wen Xiu's decisiveness and courage were not owned by ordinary people. She became a factory worker in anonymity, but unexpectedly found her own happiness, presumably Wenxiu left without any regrets.
