In the movie "The Great Cause of Party Building", which was released in 2011, Feng Gong, who has not acted for many years, also participated, and he answered this question in an interview afterwards, only because of the role in it, he could not refuse. Feng Gong played his great-grandfather Feng Guozhang in the movie, and no one is more suitable than him in image restoration.
Feng Guozhang was the leader of the Beiyang direct lineage, and famous warlords such as Cao Kun, Wu Peifu, and Sun Chuanfang were his subordinates, and he also acted as the president of the Republic of China, and was a powerful figure.
Feng Guozhang was also a very patriotic military general, and he placed his expectations in his heart with the idea that "the national sea is forbidden to open, and the major events in the East are rising". He himself is the "country" generation, the next generation is "home", and so on.
Feng Gong's grandfather is Feng Guozhang's third son Feng Jiayu, if it were not for the reasons of the times, Feng Gong's name would have been "Feng Forbidden Gong", but in his son's generation, he resumed the generation division of "Feng Kaicheng".
In fact, Feng Gong's mother was also a prominent family, and she was a door-to-door pair at that time.
Feng Gong's mother, Liu Yisu, was born in the Liu family in Tingliuhe, and because the Liu family was rich in Jingdong, it also became the "first Jingdong". The origins of this family can be traced back to Liu Xinting in the late Qing Dynasty.
Liu Xinting was born poor, but his mind was flexible, and with the opening of the Beijing-Shenyang Railway in the seventh year of Guangxu, many merchants from Changli, Luanxian and Leting broke into the Guandong. Liu Xinting learned from the mouths of these merchants that the imperial court was encouraging Longwan to reclaim the land and was very short of agricultural tools and daily necessities, which made him see business opportunities.
Therefore, Liu Xinting bought a large number of hoe boards, soil cloth, cotton, etc. in his hometown of Hebei Leting and shipped them to Longwan, and after exchanging money in Longwan, he shipped back to Kanto tobacco, indigo and soybeans. None of these things are valuable locally, but they can be multiplied several times with a change of hands.
After more than ten years, Liu Xinting has accumulated millions of hanging copper coins, and during this period he has led a lot of hometown population to the northeast to engage in business, and gradually developed a "Lao Gang", at its peak, the Lao Gang had 100,000 merchants in a city in Changchun, and at that time there was even a saying that "three provinces in the northeast, no business is not happy".
These connections and resources and huge family properties are all good foundations laid by Liu Xinting for the Liu family, and his son Liu Ru'e further carried forward after inheriting the family business.
Liu Ru'e understands very well that it is difficult to walk on one leg of business alone, and it is easy to be tripped. Therefore, let the three sons drill camp in three directions to complement each other. The eldest Liu Zhaojing specialized in land, the second Liu Zhaonian continued to run business, and the third Liu Zhaoxiong studied and entered the official field to support the portal.
I have to say that Liu Ru'e's vision of people is still accurate, and the three sons have done an extremely good job in their respective industries. At its peak, the Liu family was listed as the "head of the four major families in northern China".
The Liu family has more than 100 acres in the northeast Tongliao, known as the "King of the Northeast Land", owning more than 50,000 acres of land in his hometown Leting, and his own large manor covers an area of several hundred acres, modeled on the design of the Forbidden City, there are more than a thousand houses, as well as a large number of gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings. According to the old records of Le Ting, "Zhuang Zhong is outside, Jia Di lian yun, garden pavilion around the water, even moving across the mirror, like a city." ”。
There are also more than 100 enterprises in the business, including qianzhuang, grocery stores, cotton mills, rice noodles and other industries, the Liu family's flour mill basically monopolized the northeast flour industry, and even the railway was directly repaired to the factory. Therefore, it is also called "South Rong North Liu" together with the Flour King Rong family.
With money, the Liu family is also very good at things, Zeng Guoquan and Bao Chao in the late Qing Dynasty, Cao Kun and Zhang Zuolin in Beiyang have all received economic support from the Liu family, and Li Yuanhong, the president of the Republic of China after Yuan Shikai, has all gone to the Liu Family Ancestral Hall to paint a plaque.
Liu Zhaoxiong hung a plaque at the gate of the Liu family with the title of "Three Examinations of Compatriots", which is also the political position of the Liu family, and after Liu Zhaoxiong was admitted to the examination, because he was good at greeting and had financial support, he was favored by Weng Tonggong, and through this line, Liu Zhaoxiong also had contact with the Western Empress Dowager Cixi.
Liu Zhaoxiong's three sons, Liu Zhen, Liu Pei, and Liu Tan, were successively selected as "compatriots in the three examinations", of which Liu Tan was the most prominent, he served as the secretary of the Erpin cabinet, and it was rumored that he was the son of Cixi, which showed the favor of the Liu family at that time.
Liu Tan is a high-ranking official, naturally familiar with many important people, among which the relationship with Feng Guozhang is excellent, many times Feng Guozhang went to Tianjin to take his free ride, and the exchanges between the two families are very frequent. So later Feng Guozhang's grandson Feng Haigang married Liu Tan's granddaughter Liu Yisu, which further the relationship between the two families, And Feng Haigang and Liu Yisu were Feng Gong's parents.
The Liu family's illustrious days lasted until 1931. After 9/18, the Japanese invaded and occupied china's three eastern provinces, and implemented colonial rule to strengthen economic control, and local Chinese enterprises like the Liu family were the targets of the Japanese invasion and plunder.
After the Japanese invaded China in all directions in 1937, China's local enterprises were even more depressed, and the Liu family was not spared, plus the Leting where its roots were located was a stronghold of the military family, and the Japanese and puppets were stationed here often ate and took cards, and these acts were a great blow to the Liu family.
After the surrender of the Japanese Kou, the Liu family thought that there would be an opportunity for revitalization, but unexpectedly ushered in a complete destruction, the Kuomintang those who received the opportunity to encroach on assets, resulting in the Liu family's last enterprise basically collapsed, and later even the Liu family manor was unfortunately destroyed, and the "first Jingdong" that was famous for more than a century ceased to exist.
Therefore, in Feng Gong's generation, he did not enjoy the glory of his ancestors, but was affected in the special era, and his family once lived by borrowing money, and he himself also picked up coal cores due to lack of clothing and food.
Truly intelligent people will not indulge in the glory of the past, Feng Gong can have the current popularity, completely rely on their own struggle.
Feng Gong's family lineage can be described as 'terrible' in the eyes of outsiders, if it is ancient, absolute princes and nobles. This also reminds me of an ancient poem" "In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people."
