The Republic of China period was a period of intense ideological collision, and it was also an atmosphere of equal emphasis on literati feelings and romantic atmosphere. At that time, the fate of parents and the words of matchmaking still existed, but free love also arose, some people pursued their feelings despite their parents' opposition, and the vigorousness of love was commendable. For example, Shen Congwen and Zhang Zhaohe, who are talented and beautiful, such as Qian Zhongshu and Yang Dai, such as Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin.
If it is said that there was a big man in the Republic of China period who also dared to pursue love, who? Du Yuesheng.
Du Yuesheng was born in 1888 in the Pudong New Area of Shanghai, and his parents died one after another when he was young, and he was raised by his stepmother and uncle. At the age of nineteen, Du Yuesheng, who was in Shanghai Beach, joined the Qing Gang and worked under Jin Rong. Du Yuesheng started with opium, and then gained a huge fortune by relying on this dirty means. After that, Du Yuesheng began to make friends with various celebrities, and his social status continued to improve.
During the Great Revolution, Du Yuesheng attacked the workers' pickets in Shanghai and killed Communists. However, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he also helped the Eighth Route Army to raise donations, and also purchased a large number of communication equipment and medicines to give to the COMMUNIST generals, and then he got a lot of gas masks to give to the Eighth Route Army, which can also be regarded as contributing to the War of Resistance.
After the defeat of the Songhu War of Resistance, Du Yuesheng did not want to be a traitor, so he refused to be co-opted by the Japanese and entered Hong Kong until he died, when he was accompanied only by Meng Xiaodong. We all know that Meng Xiaodong is a famous actor who sings Peking Opera, and Du Yuesheng's fourth aunt is also singing Peking Opera, to say, Meng Xiaodong can become the fifth aunt, or the credit of the fourth aunt, the two are girlfriends.
Du Yuesheng this person especially like to watch drama, once the Golden Rong Grand Theater came to a Peking Opera team, of which there are three famous characters, namely Xiao Lanying, Yao Yulan, Yao Yuying three, it is worth mentioning that these three people are mother and son relationship. Xiao Lanying is the mother, Yao Yulan is the eldest daughter, and Yao Yuying is the second daughter.
Their performance on the stage immediately attracted Du Yuesheng, and he was actually attracted by the smiles of these three women. After that, as long as these three people sang on stage, he must come to the scene and ask for a jackpot, so as to attract the attention of the mother and daughter trio.
In order to be close to the three people, Du Yuesheng arranged a place for the three people to live, and when he was fine, he went around and contacted his feelings. Finally, the eldest daughter Yao Yuying was moved and developed feelings with Du Yuesheng. Du Yuesheng then made Yao Yuying the fourth aunt. For this reason, Xiao Lanying also specifically asked Du Yuesheng to marry his daughter Ming Media, and also to arrange a separate residence, and not to live with other aunts and wives.
Coincidentally, the fourth aunt Yao Yulan and the famous character Meng Xiaodong are girlfriends, Du Yuesheng actually wanted to take Meng Xiaodong as his wife for a long time, but he has not been able to find a suitable opportunity, since Yao Yulan and Meng Xiaodong have this relationship, Du Yuesheng decided to make good use of it. So Du Yuesheng asked Yao Yulan to often invite Meng Xiaodong to come to the beach to perform, and he and Yao Yulan went to see it together. After Du Yuesheng's concern, the helpless Meng Xiaodong also developed feelings, so Du Yuesheng married Meng Xiaodong as his wife, the relationship between the two was very good, when Du Yuesheng moved to Hong Kong, he also let Meng Xiaodong accompany him.
Du Yuesheng's evaluation in history is very controversial, and many people feel that he sold opium, mutilated the people, and manipulated the economy to a certain extent in Shanghai, and inflation was inseparable from him. Some people also feel that he resolutely stood on the national united front during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and helped the Eighth Route Army, so he also had a credit.
