Like a frightening, graceful dragon. Guo Buluo Wanrong's name comes from Wenyuan's strange "LuoshenFu", which shows wanrong's father Rongyuan's cherishing and expectation for his daughter. But with the passage of time, who would have thought that this wonderful woman with such a wonderful nature would dance with the fire like a moth, and eventually become a pinch of powder and dissipate in the condensed air.
A young girl with a beautiful face
Wanrong, as the most anticipated daughter in the family, was not required to be talentless like other women at that time, on the contrary, her father gave Wanrong a lot of good education, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and composed of songs and poems.
As an aristocrat of the Qing Dynasty, her growth environment is unimaginable to ordinary people, she once rode the BMW rewarded by the emperor in the territory, and also sat on the popular "foreign car" abroad; she once caressed the guzheng with her slender fingers, and also looked at the black and white piano with curious eyes; she once scattered her hair on the ground and combed by the maid, and also created a fashionable hairstyle in the hair salon; she once took the Manchu costume as her own treasure, and also used the qipao to reflect the beauty of oriental ladies to the fullest.
Before becoming the last empress of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, all good things could be linked to this woman. And Wanrong did not think that the palace with red bricks and green tiles would become her beautiful end.
The beginning of a tragic marriage
In 1922, the 16-year-old WanRong was elected to the palace, becoming the last woman in Manchu History to hold the title of "Empress". Although the frenzy of democracy and republicanism swept the country at that time, the wedding of Puyi and Empress Wanrong still did not lose royal courtesy. The greeting team is huge, and the number of greeting gifts is innumerable. Not only the Qing Dynasty's ministers of culture and military affairs, but even foreign dignitaries came to attend the wedding. Married to Puyi along with Wanrong, there was also a concubine named Wenxiu. She also laid the lead for the tragedy that followed.
After marriage, Wanrong and Puyi had a relatively happy life, Wanrong was not only well educated, but also knew English, which made Puyi overjoyed and loved Wanrong. They studied and exchanged together, Puyi also hired an English teacher for Wanrong, and the relationship between the two people slowly warmed up.
Unfortunately, because of Puyi's physical defects, the two are only mentally agreeable, and in fact, there is still a deep estrangement. In addition, there is Shufei Wenxiu competing with herself for favors, which makes Wanrong even more distressed. After receiving a reply after many times of enthusiasm, Wanrong was disheartened. The cold silence and jealousy of the harem made her temper more and more irritable, which also made Puyi more and more disgusted with this red-faced confidant who had once known Dali.
Wanrong's grievances and pains have nowhere to go, and she begins to seek psychological "tranquility" in cigarettes and opium. With the passage of time, Wanrong became addicted to smoking, and opium became her only "good medicine". In November 1924, Feng Yuxiang launched the "Beijing Coup" to expel Puyi from the Forbidden City, and the harem followed Puyi out of the deep palace with red bricks and green tiles to Tianjin.
For Wanrong, returning to Tianjin is like a bird returning to the mountains, she flew freely in Tianjin, faded the brocade robe in the palace, changed into a fashionable cheongsam high heel, and even changed the traditional hairstyle that was once in the palace, permed a curly hair, and long-term social occasions.
At this time, Wanrong felt the freedom and happiness that she had not had for many years, but her attitude towards Wenxiu was the same as always, according to Puyi's description in "In the First Half of My Life", what Wanrong bought, Wenxiu must buy; what Wenxiu bought, Wanrong had to buy better, otherwise she was sorry for her identity as empress.
The end has been decided, and the tragic life is graceful
At this time, Wanrong was immersed in spirit and material and could not extricate herself, while Puyi was still thinking of the dream of a comeback, and pinned her hopes for the revitalization of the Qing Dynasty on the Japanese. The fuse that eventually broke puyi and Wanrong's relationship was Wenxiu's "sword concubine revolution", which made Puyi the first emperor in history to be suspended.
This matter was reported to be boiling, and Puyi was laughed at by thousands of people, but Puyi did not find a reason in himself, but pointed the spearhead at Wanrong, believing that it was because of Wanrong's oppression of Wenxiu, which led to his loss of face. This marriage silently dissipated in Puyi's coldness.
Later, Puyi was completely reduced to a puppet of the Japanese, and in the face of Japanese surveillance and restrictions, Wanrong decided to flee. She never gave up, but in the last time, she was betrayed by the three grids, and her escape became a bubble, and she chose to self-destruct ever since.
For life, Wanrong has been completely desperate, more wantonly indulging herself, indulging in opium all day long, and even fornicating with guards and giving birth to a daughter. However, shortly after her birth, she was thrown into the burning boiler by Puyi, although this matter was not known to Wanrong, she was still beaten into the cold palace, and the successive blows made Wanrong mentally collapse and completely became a madman.
On August 11, 1945, Wanrong and others were captured by guerrillas, and in 1946 Wanrong was transferred to Yanji Prison. Without opium, she would be worse off dead than alive, and her long-term addiction to smoking had already corroded her body. In August of the same year, Empress Dowager Wanrong died in prison, and the guards casually wrapped her body in a mat and threw it by the stinky ditch, ending her miserable life.
epilogue
Wanrong, who was regarded as the pearl in the palm of her hand at home, after experiencing the glory of the mother's world, she no longer lost her former appearance, her whole life was imprisoned, this absurd experience came from the body of Guiwei Empress, and the shackles of the feudal system were so vicious that it destroyed Wanrong's life, which was really regrettable.
