Faced with pressure from many aspects of life, work and other aspects, many modern married women have a cold interest in childbearing, resulting in low fertility topics frequently searched.
As the mother of childbirth, women have always suffered many hardships because of fertility problems from ancient times to the present.
In the past, people paid more attention to having many children and many blessings, and men were inferior to women, and even if some famous women married into wives, it was still difficult to escape the controversy caused by life and non-birth.
Mo Xiuying, once known as the "Mother of Guangdong", was controversial by people around her because she was childless for six years.
Mo Wugu of the Fallen Wang
The name Mo Xiuying is not familiar to many people, but it is a deeply loved historical celebrity in the history of Guangdong.
In 1900, Mo Xiuying was born in Maoming County, Gaozhou, Guangdong Province, after a famous family that was once rich and powerful.
The parents placed their daughter's wish for Lingxiu's heroism and gave her this beautiful and graceful name.
Because she was the fifth oldest in the family, the family also called her Mo Wugu.
Mo Xiuying should have lived a rich life of brocade and jade like many big girls and small family jasper.
Unfortunately, the Mo family has declined to her father's generation, the family business has declined, and the style and status and economic and financial resources are not as good as before.
In addition to her, there are several children to raise in the family, and the living conditions are becoming more and more difficult.
In order to reduce the family's financial burden, her parents fostered Mo Xiuying in the home of her grandmother, who was slightly better.
Work hard and become famous
Although my grandmother treated her well, she was not a rich family after all. My grandmother felt that in addition to the food and clothing in front of her, a girl had to consider her long-term plans for the future.
Since the conditions in the family are limited, if there is no skill, girls can only sell themselves to large families when they grow up.
My grandmother saw that the young Mo Xiuying was already in good shape and outstanding in appearance, and decided to send her to the Cantonese opera class master to learn opera performance, and in the future, she would perform with the opera class, and she could also eat by singing Cantonese opera.
The master leads the door, and the practice looks at the individual. Although Mo Xiuying is young, she knows that learning opera well can lead to a way out.
She received strict training from the master of the drama class, and worked hard in terms of shape, voice, and singing voice.
She does have some talent in opera, plus she practices hard every day, and her progress is very rapid. She cultivated a graceful posture like a willow, singing like a yellow warbler, and was highly praised by the opera master.
Slowly, Mo Xiuying began to pick the beams alone, sing on stage, and rely on her own strength to break through in the Cantonese opera circle, have a reputation, and also earn a lot of remuneration for the family.
There were no children under the knees, and the marriage broke down
Women of that era generally entered the palace of marriage very early. Although it is no longer the Qing Dynasty, most women are still married by the fate of their parents, and they cannot be the master.
Fourteen-year-old Mo Xiuying was still not deeply involved in the world, but under the arrangement of her grandmother, she married the son of a businessman who had never met before.
The grandmother thought that the granddaughter could marry a large family, and she would have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and would no longer suffer hardships.
In the face of the arrangements of the elders, Mo Xiuying, like many women, silently accepted without complaint.
At the beginning, the in-laws still liked Mo Xiuying, who was born in the drama class, thinking that she looked beautiful, had a beautiful body, elegant demeanor, and was a decent daughter-in-law.
Soon after the marriage, Mo Xiuying's husband gradually exposed his true nature.
He has a deep family foundation, idle all day, good food and lazy cooking, and likes to linger in fireworks willow alleys, drink wine and six relatives do not recognize, and even beat Mo Xiuying.
Although the in-laws have no shortage of food, drink and clothing, the days here make Mo Xiuying miserable, living like a year, and cannot see the hope of life. Although Mo Xiuying always treated her in-laws respectfully, her in-laws gradually felt dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law.
They began to be picky, and finally drove Mo Xiuying out with a letter of resignation on the grounds that she had not had a child for six years.
Not wanting to listen to the gossip in the countryside, Mo Xiuying did not return to her mother's house.
Moreover, in that era of low status of women, women who were abandoned could not go straight back.
Fortunately, Mo Xiuying relied on his usual accumulation of opera skills and smoothly returned to his old profession. She originally had a very outstanding singing voice and figure, and after marrying and retiring, many loyal fans who loved to listen to her singing regretted it.
As a result, with her gentle posture and smart smile, Mo Xiuying once again conquered the fans with her voice and became a popular pillar shining on the stage.
Fate is bound to love, many children and many blessings
As the saying goes, there are thousands of miles to meet.
Mo Xiuying's fate soon came, and became the love of his life. Because of her fame, her loyal fans have always been rich and famous or military and political leaders.
Many people learned that she had regained her free body, and their hearts were full of excitement, and they threw down heavy gold and gifts to express their love and pursuit. Mo Xiuying's drama sisters also suggested that she quickly seize the opportunity to operate at this time and find a rich family to marry.
As a result, Mo Xiuying chose Chen Jitang, a small company commander of the very inconspicuous Kuomintang army, among the group. This made the sisters dumbfounded.
Because this Chen Jitang official position is low, he has no money in his hands, and he has no power in his hands, and he is inconspicuous compared with many high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
Moreover, Chen Jitang had already married relatives, and if Mo Xiuying married in the past, he could only be a concubine.
As a result, the low-key Chen Jitang used his sincere heart to show love to Mo Xiuying, although he did not say much, unlike other suitors who spent money extravagantly, but practiced his love with simple and practical actions.
Mo Xiuying, who had just come out of the marriage of the rich family, had already seen through the face of the rich and powerful.
She felt that even though their families were prominent, full of gold and silver, and seemed to be digging their hearts and lungs out for themselves, they only talked sweetly for the sake of beauty.
One day, the red face will turn white, and these people will probably run faster than anyone.
Therefore, no matter how Mo Xiuying looked at it, he felt that they were inferior to Chen Jitang's sincerity.
She also said humorously that because Chen Jitang looked like a tiger with a bear's waist and a red face, he looked like a person who would fly yellow and tengda in the future, and marrying him would not be a match made in heaven.
Mo Xiuying was completely in love, and no matter how opposed her family and drama sisters, she was determined to marry Chen Jitang.
Mo Xiuying simply entered the door, made a concubine room, and served Chen Jitang with Chen Jitang's wife.
Later, it was not until his wife died of illness that Mo Xiuying became Chen Jitang's wife.
Assist her husband in governing Guangdong
In the early years, he thought that Chen Jitang would fly Huang Tengda's joke came true.
Chen Jitang continued to rise, and after 1929, he divided the Guangdong region and became a well-known "Southern Heavenly King" during the Republic of China, and even could compete with the central government in Nanjing politically, reaching the peak of his power in this life.
Her husband held great power, and Mo Xiuying followed suit to enjoy the glory and wealth, but she did not indulge in pleasure like other warlord wives.
Since she was a child, she knows that the life of the people of Li is difficult, and now that there is constant war, there are great problems in the basic survival of many people.
Mo Xiuying always remembers to accumulate virtue and do good deeds for others in order to win the hearts and minds of the people. She repeatedly persuaded her husband, Chen Jitang, to do more good things for her local fathers and villagers in Guangdong.
Chen Jitang was indeed a good man selected by Mo Xiuying, and although he had the power to dominate one side, he did not rely on his high position of authority to loot the people's fat and people's paste, and he also made many achievements in Guangdong's economic, cultural, and municipal construction.
In addition to handling things in the family in an orderly manner, Mo Xiuying also made a lot of suggestions for her husband's career development, and personally practiced it and held each other hostage. She is eloquent, has attracted a lot of contacts and resources, and joined the local construction investment.
The couple worked together to build a large number of factories throughout Guangdong to develop the industrial economy and drive the economic prosperity led by Guangzhou.
They attach great importance to national education, not only founding more than 400 primary schools and more than 60 middle schools, but also building Sun Yat-sen University, Guangdong Army Military Medical School and Army General Hospital, which are famous universities in South China.
Chen Jitang also listened to Mo Xiuying's suggestion and selected eleven young talents to study abroad and return later to benefit Guangdong.
His achievements in municipal construction are particularly remarkable, building many hospitals and shelters, such as the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Haizhu Bridge, Aiqun Building and other well-known buildings were built during chen Jitang's reign in Guangdong.
In addition, Mo Xiuying is also enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings, not only in Guangdong often give porridge and medicine to the poor people, but also every year to Hainan will send food and clothes to the local people.
It is said that the "Xiuying Pier" in Hainan was named in honor of her kindness.
During the period when Chen Jitang and Mo Xiuying worked together to build Guangdong, they made great contributions to the development of people's livelihood and economic construction.
Therefore, the local people called Mo Xiuying "the mother of Guangdong". Their contributions during the reign of Guangdong were even later appreciated by Deng Xiaoping.
Mo Xiuying and Chen Jitang have been working together for a long time, and she has given birth to seven men, four girls and a total of eleven children, completely shattering the controversy of being criticized for infertility in the previous marriage.
In 1947, Mo Xiuying died of illness in Meihua Village, Guangzhou, ending her extraordinary life.
Chen Jitang was devastated, buried his wife in the Guangyan of Zhanjiang Lake, and left a sincere commemorative poem: "The most tragic loss in this life, the lone lamp in the middle of the night to write mourning." Mo Xiuying's life finally ended here.
Mo Xiuying, a strange woman, walked through the poor and difficult childhood time, walked through the youth under the fence, left the unspeakable unhappy marriage, and finally joined hands with people who really loved and knew each other to grow old.
Although Mo Xiuying is in an era when the status of women is very low, it seems that having children is a major life event.
But she is not willing to be ordinary, and with her own hard work and discernment, she has seized the turn of fate again and again.
When people talk about Mo Xiuying's legendary story now, they will not only remember the unbearable looking back that they have not met in the past six years, but also remember her benevolent and righteous deeds that have been admired by the people since then.
