She is the first beauty in China, and 5 presidents chased her, but she lived in seclusion in the countryside and was buried in Babaoshan after her death
In the turbulent years from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, in order to survive, many celebrities tried to resist the insults of reality, and they maintained the purity of their hearts with a lonely and arrogant mentality, and in the 1920s, Liu Xikui, the first beauty of China, who was red through half the sky, was one of them.
Fortunately, Liu Kuixi was born with good looks and body shape, and she looked better after putting on makeup, because the family environment since he was a child was not very good, so he was very solid in basic skills practice, and soon she became the most outstanding one of the actors in this group.
In 1905, by chance, the 10-year-old Liu Xikui formally studied with Song Yongzhen, and then began to perform with his master everywhere. Later, Liu Xikui entered the Beijing "Chongya Women's Science Class" for further study, and was called "Three Masters of Women" with Xian Lingzhi and Jin Yulan. With the growth of age, Liu Xikui's beautiful embryo gradually revealed, her appearance is outstanding, opera kung fu, everywhere she goes will be sought after and appreciated by everyone, and soon attracted the attention of many dignitaries and nobles.
Liu Xikui's fame and charm aroused the covetousness of the warlords and politicians of the time, and several presidents of the Beiyang period, Yuan Shikai, Li Yuanhong, Feng Guozhang, Xu Shichang, Cao Kun, etc. had beaten her idea and coveted her one by one. Yuan Shikai and Li Yuanhong invited the church to sing for a meeting every time, but Liu Xikui refused.
However, he was rejected by Liu Xikui, and although Yuan Shikai died of heart, Yuan Kewen came to his senses and repeatedly pestered Liu Xikui; Yuan Shikai's third son Yuan Keliang also took the opportunity to make trouble. Yuan Keliang had been pursuing Liu Xikui in the past, and after being rejected, he was still not dead-hearted, this time he was ingenious, hired a band, and surrounded Liu Xikui all day long, blowing and beating, making Liu Xikui restless.
His talent and appearance made his life very painful, and Liu Xikui, who felt tired, gave up his theater career. He returned to his hometown and married and had children with his fellow countryman Cui Chengzi. Lived a very mediocre life, but very happy. Sadly, the happy time was not long, and when Liu Xikui gave birth to his first son, his husband Cui Chengzi died of illness, leaving Liu Xikui a widow for forty years.
After the establishment of the Chinese Opera School, a local drama department was added, and Liu Xikui was hired to teach at the Chinese Opera School, becoming one of the top ten professors in the school. In 1964, the famous Chinese queen died peacefully and was buried in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery.
