The life of Du Yuesheng, a big man in the Republic of China period, can be described as full of legends. This green gang leader seems to be able to stomp his feet to make Shanghai tremble in the Republic of China. Everyone, the successful celebrities at that time would have many romantic "wind and moon histories", and a big guy of Du Yuesheng's level would not be an exception. Among them, the most talked about by posterity is the things between him and Meng Xiaodong.
According to historical records, Du Yuesheng loved to watch dramas, so he also took a fancy to Meng Xiaodong. It was he who brought Meng Xiaodong to Shanghai and spared no effort to praise her, making Meng Xiaodong quickly emerge in the opera industry, and thus attracting the attention of Mei Lanfang. In the end, the two married happily. But Du Yuesheng doesn't seem willing to give up the woman he likes to someone else. Therefore, according to Mr. Hu Shi, at noon one day, a student suddenly came to Mei Lanfang's house, who claimed to have come to the door to ask for advice.
Mei Lanfang was naturally very happy to hear this, so she welcomed people into the door and entertained them. Unexpectedly, when Mei Lanfang was not prepared, the student suddenly pulled out his knife, stabbed him, and then fled in a hurry. Afterwards, mei Lanfang thought more and more angrily, suspecting that this matter was related to Du Yuesheng. Hu Shi once clearly stated in his book that after this incident, the relationship between Mei Lanfang and Meng Xiaodong plummeted. The two were often in a State of cold War.
Guys, why am I talking about this? Because this incident shows that Du Yuesheng is after all the leader of the Green Gang and is quite rogue in his work. But this big guy with a fierce heart also has a tender side. He even went to pursue a pair of sister flowers, and finally succeeded in marrying them back home. According to historical records, by chance, Du Yuesheng met Yao Yulan and Yao Yuying, two sisters. These two beautiful women are dramatists, born delicate and moving, and have a good voice, so Du Yuesheng suddenly liked them. If a person with an identity like Du looks at a beautiful woman, he can directly come to a "bully kiss" and force others to marry him, especially two plays with low status. However, this big gangster of the green gang wants to make others willing to marry her.
Just after Du Yuesheng confessed to the Yao family sisters, the mother of the two, Xiao Lanying, became worried. Because this mother is afraid that her daughter will not be able to live a happy life if she marries Du Yuesheng, she even thinks that they may be abandoned by Du. In fact, Xiao Lanying's worries are not unreasonable, people like Du are powerful and fierce, and it is difficult for him to single-mindedly treat one of them with a large number of wives and concubines. Du Yuesheng was a smart person, and he immediately solved the problem with only one move.
Du Yuesheng noticed that Xiao Lanying's concern stemmed from insecurity, so he immediately bought a beautiful and large house in Shanghai for the three of them to live in. Du Yuesheng dispelled Xiao Lanying's doubts through practical actions, and successfully married Yao Yulan as the fourth aunt. Yao Yuying, on the other hand, fell ill and died before marrying into the Du family. Later, Du Yuesheng did not abandon Yao Yulan, but after having the fifth aunt's wife Meng Xiaodong, he began to gradually snub Yao Yulan.
