She announced her divorce from her husband in the newspaper and married a sanitation worker, who did not know her identity until her death
There has been no shortage of brave people since ancient times, but in ancient times, when the status of the woman was relatively low, there were few brave women. However, there are exceptions to everything, and in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a brave woman. She herself was noble, but because she was dissatisfied with her husband's behavior, she took the initiative to announce her divorce from her husband in the newspaper. To be able to do this in that era, I can't help but admire her courage.
So who is this person? She is Wen Xiu, I believe that those who know something about the history of the Qing Dynasty should know who she is? Yes, she was Puyi's imperial concubine and the last imperial concubine of the feudal dynasty. Originally, she was from an aristocratic background, but at that time, the Qing Dynasty was already crumbling, and the nobility had declined. Therefore, since she was born, she has not enjoyed much glory and wealth.
Later, Puyi reached the age of marriage, so someone in the palace searched for portraits of noble women. And Wen Embroidery was looked at by Puyi, and at the same time, there was Wanrong. Originally, Puyi wanted to seal Wenxiu as an empress, but because Wanrong's birth was better, she could only let Wenxiu be an imperial concubine. After the marriage, the two people were still quite happy, and then the good times did not last long, and it was not long before Puyi was expelled from the palace.
At that time, Wen Xiu had thought about committing suicide, but it was unsuccessful. Not long after that, Puyi chose to defect to the Japanese. Wen Xiu was very opposed to this behavior, and had been persuading Puyi at the beginning, but Puyi did not listen to her at all. And not only that, at this time, the concubines also competed with each other for favors, and Wen Xiu was very tired. So in order to get rid of this fate, he directly chose a very bold behavior.
She knew that at that time, men were inferior to women, and women who wanted to leave men had to get permission from men. And she is not that kind of traditional person, so she thought of a way, and publicly announced her divorce from Puyi in the newspaper. At that time, after this incident occurred, it caused an uproar. Not long after that, she and Puyi formally divorced.
Soon after the divorce, Wenxiu chose to teach in a primary school, but because her identity was too special. Therefore, there are many people who come to harass her, and finally have no choice but to resign. In order to get rid of this life, he even lived an anonymous life. However, as we grow older, wen embroidery also needs a home. Later, by chance, he married a sanitation worker surnamed Liu.
Although life is more difficult, this ordinary life is exactly what she pursues. However, even this happy day did not last long, and within a few years of marriage, she suddenly contracted the disease. And the disease could not be cured at that time, and in her last days, it was always her husband who accompanied her. Before she died, she told her husband her true identity. The year she died, she was 44 years old.
If it were not for an illness, perhaps Wenxiu would continue to be happy. Sometimes, however, fate is so peculiar that the shelf life of precious things is always so short. Perhaps because of this, happiness is precious.
