Night Shanghai, night..." The founder of Paramount, Shanghai Mingyuan, even Song Xialing, was her tutor, but she was abandoned by her beloved, and in her later years she lived by the septic tank and smoked a cigar gracefully.
In 1900, Sheng Xuanhuai, a famous and prestigious family in Shanghai, was overjoyed by 7,000 gold and loved yi, known as "Miss ShengQi". Since birth, her parents have cultivated Miss ShengQi as a celebrity, and the tutors are all top-notch figures, such as Song Xiaoling, one of the three sisters of the Song family, who has been her piano tutor.
Miss Sheng Qi is not only smart and beautiful and studious, but also inherits her father's courage. After her father's death when she was sixteen, she followed her mother to the major business circles and later founded the Shanghai "Paramount" as we know it.
At the age of seventeen, Miss Sheng Qi became acquainted with her brother's secretary, Song Ziwen. Because Song Ziwen often went in and out of the house, Miss Sheng Qi also admired his talent very much, and often asked him to teach English, and they came and went, and they both had feelings for each other.
This matter made the mother Mrs. Zhuang discover, an investigation, although Song Ziwen is a turtle who returned from studying in the United States, there are three famous sisters "Song Three Sisters", living a richer life than ordinary people, but the gap with the Sheng family is too large, "the door is not right."
Mrs. Chuang decisively beat the Mandarin Duck!
Song Ziwen was transferred to Wuhan, and within a few days, Song Ziwen returned to Shanghai, where he wanted to follow his brother-in-law Sun Yat-sen south to join the revolution. Before leaving, Song Ziwen found Miss Sheng Qi, gave her a ticket, and hoped that she would elope with him.
Miss Sheng Qi, entangled, home and mother are what she can't abandon, and the love is also the far away she wants to go to, and finally she gives Song Ziwen a golden leaf as a promise of love, and promises "I wait for you to come back!"
Song Ziwen took the golden leaf, he didn't know what he thought, he left alone, this walk is seven years, Miss Sheng Qi's waiting, a flash is thirty years old, his mother Lady Zhuang has also died, there is no longer any obstacle.
At this time, Song Ziwen was already the minister of finance of the Republic of China, powerful and powerful, and returned to Shanghai, but his first thing was not to find Miss Sheng Qi, but to hold a wedding with his girlfriend Zhang Leyi.
This caused Miss Sheng Qi to be greatly hit and seriously ill, and from then on she did not allow her family to mention Song Ziwen's name again.
She regained her strength and became a true love.
In fact, after the death of Lady Zhuang, the Sheng family has begun to decline, and the brothers still want to divide the fund left by their father as property, but there is no Miss ShengQi in the distribution list.
She filed a complaint and took her brothers to court, becoming the first female protagonist's rights protection case in the Republic of China.
Miss Sheng Qi is both arrogant and stubborn.
Later, Miss ShengQi married her mother's nephew Zhuang Zhujiu, and two children, who still had a very beautiful life, and during this period, she also founded the famous "Paramount" at the epicenter.
Although Song Ziwen later approached her several times in private, she replied with an arrogant attitude: "My husband is waiting for me at home."
She thought that in the second half of her life, she would not have any intersection with Song Ziwen, who knew that later her nephew would be arrested as a pseudo-traitor.
The family pleaded everywhere to no avail, so the nephew and daughter-in-law found Miss ShengQi and knelt down to beg her to call Song Ziwen for help.
Song Ziwen happily agreed, and her nephew was rescued in this way, but Miss ShengQi was helpless, and her heart was full of mixed feelings.
This was the only time in her life that she bowed to Song Ziwen, whether it was the bankruptcy of "Paramount" or the subsequent lack of possessions, she had never opened her mouth to Song Ziwen.
I thought that the current situation was the trough of life, but what Miss Sheng Qiqi did not expect was that in her later years, she was not even as good as ordinary people.
The husband was beaten into a villain, sent to the countryside to reform and died of illness, the son was also implicated, was sent to the countryside for reform, the daughter was assigned to teach in the mountains, and she was forced to move to the car room next to the septic tank.
The environment here is harsh, the stench of septic tanks, the market across the street is disorganized, the crowd is moving, not to mention that she is a celebrity, even ordinary people can not face it calmly.
Everything is gone, but she is in the face of adversity and does not lose her demeanor. She remembers her father saying that "it doesn't matter if life falls to the bottom, what matters is how to face the trough."
She tried to accept the change, cleaned up the small space every day, raised flowers, practiced calligraphy and painting, and no longer had a beautiful cheongsam on her body, but instead a coarse cloth dress, but she was still the elegant Miss Shengqi.
When relatives and friends came to visit her, she always advised everyone to look away and not complain about the world; when the crowd of the vegetable market cast pitiful eyes, she still sat calmly in the doorway, with her fingers between cigars, spitting out smoke rings in her mouth, still so elegant...
At the age of 83, her life ended in this dilapidated car room, she tasted the world's bliss, suffering, dare to love and dare to hate, she interpreted the true style of a celebrity: high and arrogant, pampered, noble to the bone.
And Song Ziwen is worried about her, can't let go of her, even to name the three daughters, with a "Yi" word, is this true love?
