In August 1931, there was such a news in tianjin newspapers and periodicals, Erdete Wenxiu Emperor Fei claimed that she was going to divorce Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and for a time the news exploded like a pot, making a storm in the city, which was the famous "Daofei Revolution" in history; on October 22, 1931, Wen Xiu officially divorced Puyi, and wen xiu, who had lost the title of imperial concubine, lived a civilian life, so why did Wen Xiu divorce Pu Yi? What about the life of Wen Xiu after divorce? Who will the Imperial Princess end up spending?
Embroidery
1. The bondage of the Royal Palace
Wen Xiu's family affairs belonged to the yellow flag in the Eight Banners, and his father's name was Duan Gong, who served as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Wen Xiu has a younger sister named Wen Shan, and in the next thing to be recorded, Wen Shan is a character that must be mentioned.
In March 1922, Puyi was selected as the imperial concubine among the many photos of the girls to be elected as imperial concubines, and Wenxiu was only 14 years old at that time, and he had only been studying for 5 years. Wen Xiu, who was elected as the imperial concubine, stayed at home all day, and the fifth uncle Hua Kan was responsible for teaching the grand ceremonies of the monarch, or the tedious palace etiquette, and asked Wen Xiu to read the Daughter's Sutra carefully.
In 1922, the imperial concubines were successively married into the palace, and Wen Xiu was also married into the palace by Puyi on November 30 with a grand wedding, and she was honored as "Lady Shu" on that day. The reason for marrying all the concubines first is that from the day of marrying the empress, all the concubines must bow down to show the majesty of the empress.
Embroidery and grace
There is also a more tragic point, on the wedding night, Wanrong followed the etiquette taught by the fifth uncle Hua Kan, and performed three prayers and nine kneeling ceremonies when she first met Puyi, but Puyi said coldly: "Go down and rest!" On the wedding night, Puyi did not live in Lady Shufei's new house.
Since Wen Xiu entered the palace, life has been so boring. After freshening up every morning, she first went to Puyi's bedchamber to greet Ann, and then went to the queen and the 4 concubines' bedchamber to greet Ann in turn, and then returned to her palace to live a simple life, she taught the palace women to embroider and recognize words, but she never got Puyi's favor.
Regarding Puyi's statement, it is roughly said that Puyi suffers from "male disease" and has no interest in women, or that Puyi is actually "gay", but no matter which way it is said, Puyi has been alone during this period of illness.
2. The dignity of women
In 1924, Feng Yuxiang occupied Beijing and ordered Lu Zhonglin to lead puyi and other Qing palace widows to expel the Forbidden City. Once the qing palace remnants walked out of the Forbidden City, they lost their shelter, lost their identities, and became ordinary people. At this time, Wen Xiu seemed extremely excited, because she finally had the opportunity to leave the boring palace and see the prosperity of the world.
The most important thing is that after all of them become ordinary people, Wen Xiu can advise her husband Puyi in an "equal" capacity and change the dilemma under the fence.
First of all, I would like to briefly explain why Wen Xiu, who lived in the palace, had this idea. Since Wen embroidery entered the palace, she has not been favored by Puyi. In order to add color to the life of Wenxiu, Puyi hired a female teacher for Wenxiu to teach Wenxiu to learn English. Wen Xiu first came into contact with foreign Chinese, studied very hard, made rapid progress, stayed with female teachers for a long time, and over time, he had an understanding of new ideas, and his thoughts were gradually opened up.
Wen Xiu received new ideas, while Puyi and the concubines and the Qing Palace courtiers insisted on the so-called old ancestors "that little thing", when the two ideas collided in the same family, it was naturally full of fire, and there was no moment of peace. But Wen Xiu is a sensible and patient woman, and she can endure such a life. The last straw that overwhelmed the camel was that Puyi colluded with the Japanese.
Wen embroidery and Puyi
In the early days of Zhang Zuolin's rule in Beijing, Puyi listened to rumors and wanted to use the power of the Japanese to restore the Qing Dynasty. When Wen Xiu heard the news, she challenged the old tradition and bravely advised Puyi: "The Japanese are extremely brutal, and during the Russo-Japanese War, that is, the massacre of countless Chinese, absolutely cannot listen to the rumors of villains and lure wolves into the house, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”
But Puyi couldn't listen to Wen Xiu's words at all, he only had "restoration" in his heart, and for this reason, he was willing to bow to the Japanese. In the face of Puyi's erroneous behavior, Wen Xiu repeatedly advised Puyi: "Japan cannot be trusted, the words of Zheng Xiaoxu and the like should not be listened to, and we should restrain our horses from the precipice." Puyi, instead of listening to Wen Xiu's good words and persuasion, hated Wen Xiu and returned it with a cold eye.
Wen Xiu, who was snubbed, washed her face with tears all day, and the royal family could not tolerate the embroidery, so she began to try to stand up and leave, and the help she was given here, Wen Xiu's sister and niece Yu Fen mentioned above. Yu fen came to Wen Xiu's side and learned of Wen Xiu's misfortune, so she advised Wen Xiu to hire a lawyer to accuse PuYi of abusing his wife, divorce him, and ask for a maintenance fee. Because he was already an ordinary person at this time, he also needed to abide by the law.
Because of this remark, Wen Xiu made up his mind to divorce Puyi, and then, with the help of his sister Wen Shan, left the palace and released the news that he wanted to divorce Puyi. Puyi was shocked when he learned of this, because he thought that he had hurt the emperor's face. In desperation, Puyi had to sign a divorce agreement, but there was a requirement: Wen Xiu could not remarry for life, and the two sides would not damage each other's reputation.
So, after the divorce, did Wenxiu remarry?
After the divorce, Wen Xiu returned to Beiping, the old mother had died, and the family house was sold without authorization, so Wen Xiu had to rent a house in Beiping with her sister Wen Shan.
In 1932, Wen Xiu took the name of Fu Yufang as a teacher who taught Chinese language and drawing in the private Sicun Primary and Secondary School on Fuyou Street in Beiping, which was wen xiu's first career after leaving Puyi and returning to Beiping, and the mood was particularly happy. It wasn't long before her true identity was discovered, and the good guy came to her door and had to quit her beloved teaching profession at the end of 1933 and continue to live in seclusion in another place.
In 1945, Wen Xiu was introduced by a friend and became a newspaper proofreader. Because of his conscientious and conscientious work, coupled with outstanding talent, he has won the weight of President Zhang Mingwei. President Zhang was very sympathetic to Wenxiu's suffering life, and out of concern, he personally came forward to introduce Wenxiu to Liu Zhendong as his wife.
Liu Zhendong was a native of Henan, born in a poor family, studied for several years, joined the Kuomintang army at the age of 17, and because of his bravery in battle, he was promoted from a small soldier to a major. After half a year of understanding and falling in love with Liu Zhendong, Wenxiu and Liu Zhendong married in Beiping in the summer of 1947, and after marriage, the husband and wife had a harmonious relationship, so that Wenxiu enjoyed a complete family life.
After liberation, because of Liu Zhendong's better performance, he was released from supervision and control and assigned to the cleaning team in Beijing's Xicheng District as a sanitation worker. On September 18, 1953, Wen Xiu died of a sudden myocardial infarction at home at the age of 44, and had no children in his life.
