Shanghai has been an important economic city since China entered the modern era. During the turbulent Period of the Republic of China, Shanghai was mixed with various characters. Among the warlords who divide one side and the dancing female literati who are obsessed with the wind and snow, there is such a big black and white person, he is Du Yuesheng, who is known as the "Emperor of Shanghai". From the dignitaries and dignitaries to the commoner beggars, Du Yuesheng's name is known to everyone in Shanghai.
Step by step, he became a gangster boss in Shanghai, his hands stained with blood, but he was charitable and donated to schools. Du Yuesheng's life is difficult to define black and white, he is not only a hero who made indelible contributions during the anti-Japanese period, but also a fierce and unscrupulous businessman. In the Du family, not only Du Yuesheng's experience is famous, but even the story of his daughter Du Meiru is well known. There is also a fascinating story. She is Du Yuesheng Qianjin, and when she returned to China in her 80s, she found that her father had already "predicted" her husband's name.
Du Yuesheng's life can be described as a counterattack template for low-level characters. When Du Yuesheng was fourteen years old, he was still a miscellaneous apprentice in a fruit shop, and by chance, he joined the Shanghai Golden Rong Mansion. The clever Du Yuesheng soon gained the appreciation of Jin Rong and began to sell opium and collude with the interests of warlords. Du Yuesheng is fierce and unscrupulous. With the prosperity of the business, his reputation became more and more popular in Shanghai, and he soon became the so-called "Emperor of Shanghai".
During the Republic of China period, three wives and four concubines were still common in the homes of the rich and noble, and Du Yuesheng was no exception. Du Yuesheng had four wives in her life, and her daughter Du Meiru was born to her fourth wife, Yao Yulan. Du Meiru was pampered by Du Yuesheng from an early age and received a comprehensive education since childhood, especially in learning. Fortunately, Du Meiru lived up to expectations and became a knowledgeable and temperamental rich lady.
Du Meiru's encounter with her husband originated from a dance party, when Ku Songmao, who was a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force, fell in love with this elegant and generous lady at first sight, and Du Meiru seemed to see it at first sight. Soon the two young people fell in love and entered the palace of marriage. Because of the needs of Ku songmao's work, the two moved to Jordan shortly after they got married.
At that time, Ku Songmao was serving as a military staff officer at the Jordanian Embassy, and when he visited the King of Jordan, the King became deeply interested in Chinese cuisine and said that there were too few Chinese restaurants in the country to eat real Chinese food. Immediately after the meeting, the two decided to open a Chinese restaurant in Jordan. The two said they would do it, and soon the restaurant opened.
Although Du Meiru was once a rich lady, she could do the work without any ambiguity, whether it was brushing the dishes and cooking, she did a good job, and even joked with customers. The restaurant is becoming more and more popular in the local area, and the two have also gained little happiness in ordinary life.
Leaves that fall always come to the roots. No matter how long people have been wandering outside, they will always miss their hometown in their hearts, especially after they are old, and their feelings of homesickness are even stronger. The same is true of Du Meiru, who dreams every night of living in China and looking for traces of her hometown. However, there are too many problems to be solved in reality, and once you return home, the restaurants will be left unattended and the children will not be taken care of. The road back to her hometown was forced to be temporarily shelved, until the founding of New China and the reform and opening up, Du Meiru embarked on the road back to her hometown as she wished.
Du Meiru, who was more than eighty years old, burst into tears at the moment she stepped out of the plane, and the blood that belonged to the Chinese was awakened at this moment, and her wish to return to her hometown was finally realized. Du Meiru just returned to China and could not wait to leave for the old house in Shanghai, after a hundred years of changes, wind and rain, the mansion of East Lake Seventh Road still stands in place. Every scene in the villa affects Du Meiru's memories. Walking into the villa, the first thing that comes into sight is a meadow, and what surprises Du Meiru is that the building plaque above the lawn actually has four big characters written "Bamboo Bud Songmao".
Du Meiru's heart was surprised and happy, her father actually "predicted" her husband's name so long ago, and the fate was really wonderful.
epilogue:
Du Meiru's life can be said to be peaceful and joyful, smooth sailing. Having a dominant Shanghai tycoon as her father gave her meticulous care and a happy and rich environment for growth. When he grew up, he fell in love with his husband at first sight, stayed with each other, and grew old. Although the two only run a Chinese restaurant, they also live a smooth life and a harmonious family. Isn't enjoying life in the ordinary, isn't this what many people want all their lives? Although Du Meiru's life did not fluctuate like her father Du Yuesheng, she also lived a comfortable life plainly, with her own stable happiness, which was enviable.
