The Provisional Law of the Republic of China of 1912 explicitly stipulates that China implements monogamy, but for various reasons, it was not implemented until 1950. Before that, wives were all appendages of husbands or fathers, and the so-called reason why they could change the feudal customs that had been formed for thousands of years at home was the result of everyone's joint efforts.
During the Republic of China period, Western ideas had just been introduced into China, and many literati realized that only by overthrowing the feudal dynasty could they save the country, so they ran for the country. However, at that time, polygamy was still the mainstream, so many people who proposed monogamy but did not do it, such as Kang Youwei.
Kang Youwei had a total of 5 concubines, and he always took a young and beautiful concubine in his old age, completely deviating from his words and deeds. Coincidentally, his disciple Liang Qichao was also the same, Liang Qichao launched the bus to write and reform the law, but married two wives, and had 6 children with concubines, in order to maintain the image, let the children call aunt.
Liang Qichao was born in 1873, and at the age of 17, he was appreciated by the chief examiner for taking the township examination, so he betrothed his cousin Li Huixian to him. Li Huixian was born well-educated, was a well-known local talented woman, and did not have a little big miss temper, and kept the Liang family in good order.
After the two married, Liang Qichao had an extramarital affair, and in 1899, Liang Qichao was invited by Kang Youwei to come to Honolulu, usa, so he met He Huizhen. He Huizhen grew up in the United States, proficient in English, beautiful and talented, and has admired Liang Qichao for a long time, and her love is overflowing.
Liang Qichao will inevitably be moved when he sees such a tender and watery woman, but because his wife does not agree, he proposed monogamy at that time, which is not a blatant punch in the face, so this relationship ended in the end. However, he still remembered the matter of concubines.
When Li Huixian got married, she brought a companion ring called Wang Guiquan, although Wang Guiquan was not born well, but she was very watery, smart and clever, and she was deeply loved by Liang Qichao.
In 1901, Li Huixian gave birth to the eldest son Liang Sicheng, Li Huixian was already weak and sickly, and after giving birth to a child, he was even weaker, Liang Sicheng took this opportunity to take Wang Guiquan as a concubine on the grounds that the Liang family had branches and scattered leaves. Li Huixian could not refute it, plus Wang Guiquan and her sisters, so she agreed.
In 1903, Wang Guiquan officially became Liang Qichao's concubine, and the two fell in love with each other after marriage, and Wang Guiquan also became Li Huixian's right-hand man, taking care of housework for her. And successively gave birth to 6 children for Liang Qichao, Liang Qichao in order to maintain his image, rarely mentioned her outside, but also let the children call Li Huixianniang, call Wang Guiquan as an aunt.
Wang Guiquan did not mind, and put all his thoughts on educating the children, never scolding them, although the children called her aunt, but still the closest to her, even Liang Sicheng is the same, more like Wang Guiquan.
Although Liang Qichao proposed monogamy, he still failed to do it, and if it were not for his efforts to maintain his own image, Wang Guiquan would not have been nameless and nameless all his life. But Wang Guiquan is an unusual woman, even so, she still lives out her own wonderful.
