In the turmoil of fate, it is easiest to see a person's integrity. —Shakespeare
In the modern period of China, there were many heroes and sons and daughters, leaving behind many legendary stories. In such an era of heroes, the story of talented people is naturally indispensable.
Among those characters in the Republic of China, the story between Cai Yi and Xiao Fengxian is very attractive. One is a patriotic general who shocked the world, and the other is a desolate red dust woman. The story between them has both a traditional charm and a unique style of the Republic of China period.
Despite the controversy, the story of the two is very desirable. So what are the legends between Xiao Fengxian and General Cai Yi?
Xiao Fengxian and Cai Yi met in Beijing's Bada Hutong, and the two experienced a very pleasant time together, and then Cai Yi left Xiao Fengxian for his home country, and Xiao Fengxian's life was also plunged into a drift. Before Xiao Fengxian died, she clutched Cai E's photo tightly, and why did Cai E's descendants say that her father had no feelings for her.
First, the bumpy life of Xiao Fengxian
Xiao Fengxian was born in Hangzhou in 1900, and her real name was Zhu Xiaofeng. With the decline of the Qing Dynasty, her family gradually declined.
Xiao Fengxian's mother is a partial house, and the family road is falling, making her mother and her a thorn in the eye of the big house, a thorn in the flesh. Under the oppression and bullying for a long time, Xiao Fengxian and her mother could not bear it and helplessly left the Zhu family.
Shortly after leaving the Zhu family, Xiao Fengxian's mother died. After this, Xiao Fengxian began to live a life of drifting in the sky.
First, he was adopted by a nursing mother and changed his name to Zhang Fengyun. At the time of the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, this wet nurse took Xiao Fengxian from Zhejiang, where they lived, to Shanghai.
The wet nurse who could not find a job in Shanghai had to let Xiao Fengxian learn art from an artist surnamed Hu and make a living from it. It was in the process of learning to sing that Xiao Fengxian had such a stage name.
In such a turbulent era, it is too difficult for ordinary people to live a stable life. Xiao Fengxian first sold songs in Nanjing, and then fled back to Shanghai. However, Shanghai was still restless, so the artist surnamed Hu came to Beijing with Xiao Fengxian.
They settled down in the bad hutongs of Beijing, and when they were teenagers, they were in the same flower years, and the little phoenix fairy was beautiful and could sing and dance, and soon made a name for themselves in this land of flowers and willows. Many businessmen, rich people, politicians, and talents want to see Xiao Fengxian at great expense.
Seeing that Xiao Fengxian was becoming more and more popular, the artist surnamed Hu saw that Qian's eyes were open, and actually sold Xiao Fengxian to Zeng Mengpu, a writer of popular novels at that time. This Zeng Mengpu was not a good person at all, and it didn't take long for him to sell Xiao Fengxian back to the Bada Hutong.
Turning around, Xiao Fengxian returned to this place that made her sad. The reputation of the past is still there, as long as it can make people happy, no one will care about her past, Xiao Fengxian once again established a foothold in the Bada Hutong.
Xiao Fengxian's life actually highlights the fate of ordinary people in that era, and the upheaval and displacement are involuntary, which is the portrayal of ordinary people under the chaotic world. Xiao Fengxian was lost in such a bright and green life, until she met the person who changed her life. Who is this person?
This person is the famous General Cai Yi, and Xiao Fengxian and General Cai Yi have passed down a poignant love story.
Second, the story between Xiao Fengxian and Cai Yi
Fast forward to 1914, yuan shikai, who wanted to restore the imperial system, "invited" Cai Yi to the city of Beijing, hoping to gain the support of the Yunnan revolutionary.
Yuan Shikai has always been jealous of a general like Cai Yi, who has a heavy army and a democratic heart. He invited Cai E to Beijing not to talk to him about national construction at all, but to coerce cai e to get him to electrify his restoration.
Cai Yi, who knew Yuan Shikai's thoughts, refused to let go, and he kindly advised Yuan Shikai not to be called emperor, that is, disrespect for thousands of brothers who shed blood and sacrificed.
Yuan Shikai could not persuade him, but such a fierce general could not let him go, so Yuan Shikai put Cai Yi under house arrest and did not let him return to Yunnan. Yunnan was the seat of Cai Yi's army, Yuan Shikai wanted to call the emperor has not yet been called emperor, and it is not easy to tear his face for a while, Cai Yi knows that he is under house arrest, but there is no way.
Cai Yi, who was imprisoned, was extremely depressed in his heart, and he often dressed up as a businessman and went to the Bada Hutong. The first is to paralyze Yuan Shikai, showing a look that he has been corrupted by the grandeur of Beijing City. The second is to dispel the sorrows in your heart.
Here he met Xiao Fengxian and has since achieved a good story.
Xiao Fengxian, who was selling art in the Bada Hutong, was attracted by this businessman who was full of energy and eloquence, and Cai Yi felt a little warmth because of Xiao Fengxian's understanding and knowledge of Dali.
There is some gap in age between 17-year-old Xiao Fengxian and 33-year-old Cai Yi, but the age gap has not become a spiritual barrier, and in such a dangerous and addictive place as Beijing City, two lonely and bitter hearts are finally linked.
Cai Yi iron bones Zheng Zheng, Xiao Fengxian style, the two in such a bustling place as Beijing City can not feel the fun at all, only the existence of the other party can bring a little comfort. The two stayed together longer and longer, Cai Yi and Xiao Fengxian were mixed together all day, and those who thought that Cai Yi was an indomitable man were curious, Xiao Fengxian had such a great magic power, and he fascinated a battle-hardened general.
These behaviors of Cai Yi really blinded Yuan Shikai, who thought that Cai Yi was addicted to the rich and noble village, and perhaps he would soon agree with his claim to the throne. Therefore, he has always maintained patience with Cai E and does not want to kill Cai E directly.
This also gave Cai Yi enough time to escape from Beijing City, as long as he did not die, it was still possible to flee Beijing City and raise the uprising flag, cai Yi has not given up looking for an opportunity to return to Yunnan. He knew that Yuan Shikai's claim to the throne was inevitable, and his return to Yunnan would certainly lead the soldiers there to express their opposition to Yuan Shikai.
At this time, Cai Ye's two wives in Yunnan came to insert another foot, and they accused Cai Yi of spending time and drinking in Yunnan, completely disregarding their lives and deaths. Yuan Shikai ostensibly mediated Cai E's family relations, but in fact he was more convinced in his heart, believing that Sooner or later Cai E would indulge in the gentle township and could not extricate himself.
In this way, Yuan Shikai was completely confused by Cai E's behavior, until the eve of becoming emperor, he still held out hope for Cai E, waiting for Cai E to come and show his loyalty.
On the eve of Yuan Shikai's ascension to the throne and becoming emperor, Yuan Shikai, who was thinking about going, still wanted to get rid of Cai Yi and then hurry. After Cai Yi knew Yuan Shikai's idea, he took the opportunity to go out of the city with Xiao Fengxian to escape the city alone. Back to Cai Yi in Yunnan. Immediately issued a telegram, clearly expressing opposition to Yuan Shikai's claim to the throne.
After Cai Yi left Xiao Fengxian, would they meet again? What will their story be?
In fact, this parting is already a farewell, the love story of the two of them, although it has a very beautiful beginning, but the ending is very hurried.
Third, the end of the little phoenix fairy
In fact, from the moment Cai Yi left Beijing City, Xiao Fengxian had already guessed the ending. Whether Cai Yi, who has the world in mind, is playing with herself, it is impossible to return to Beijing to find her.
In fact, Cai Yi did not return to Beijing not entirely because he did not want to go back, and Cai Yi died in Japan at the age of 34 after the war against Yuan yuan because of throat tuberculosis.
After Cai Yi left, Xiao Fengxian gradually became low-key, and she lived her life in anonymity. Later, she married a brigade commander of the Northeast Army, but unfortunately, this brigade commander later abandoned Xiao Fengxian and went to Taiwan. In the first half of his life, Xiao Fengxian was surrounded by men, and at this time. She was lonely.
In 1949, Xiao Fengxian married Li Zhenhai, who took good care of her. Not long after the two married, Li Zhenhai died. Xiao Fengxian's life was once again in great difficulty.
Later, with the help of Mei Lanfang, Xiao Fengxian found a job to make ends meet. However, Heaven made a joke with her again, and in 1952, the devastated Xiao Fengxian was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and her physical and mental condition was not optimistic.
Two years later, Xiao Fengxian died in 1954. In the last days of her life, she always carried a picture of Cai Yi. Unfortunately, Cai Yi's descendants did not approve of this relationship, they believed that her father had no feelings for Xiao Fengxian, she was self-made and sentimental, cai Yi only used Xiao Fengxian to paralyze Yuan Shikai, thus fleeing Beijing.
For Cai Yi's descendants, Xiao Fengxian is not a respectable person, the appearance of Xiao Fengxian has caused their family to clash, and it is understandable not to recognize the feelings between Cai Yi and Xiao Fengxian. However, the love story that has been praised by the world will not be covered up so easily, and Xiao Fengxian and Cai Yi are still the talents and beauties in people's hearts.
brief summary:
The story between Cai Yi and Xiao Fengxian is not clear. However, as a bystander, I would rather believe that there is real emotion between Xiao Fengxian and Cai Yi. Otherwise, history would not be less flavorful and more cruel. In such a dark age, love is the last light.
