Born in a poor family, Liu Zhendong, a native of Henan, joined the Kuomintang army at the age of 17, and because of his bravery in battle, he threw his life and death aside, so he was promoted from a small soldier to a major, but Liu Zhendong ran on the battlefield for many years and did not start a family in his 40s.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, Liu Zhendong did a job managing the warehouse in Zhongnanhai, and after being introduced by a friend, he met Fu Yufang, a female factory worker. In the summer of 1947, Liu Zhendong and Fu Yufang got married in Beijing and settled a new home in a rented house in Baimi Xie Street in Xicheng, and their lives were plain and happy after marriage.
However, Liu Zhendong married Fu Yufang, always felt that his wife had an extraordinary temperament, his wife was not only literate but also knew English, had a gentle and elegant personality, and at first glance was a woman from a large family and had received a good education, but Fu Yufang was also relatively poor before she met Liu Zhendong, pasted cartons, sold cigarettes on the street, and even went to the tile brigade to work as a coolie.
Later, after being introduced by people, I became a female worker in the printing factory, Liu Zhendong also asked his wife several times, but they were all prevaricated by Fu Yufang, Liu Zhendong did not ask more, thinking that his wife was probably really a girl from a large family before, because of the war, she did rough work and did rough work, Liu Zhendong was distressed by his wife's encounter, so he was better for Fu Yufang.
After the liberation of Peiping in 1949, out of the needs of the revolution, a circular order was issued: the military, police and constitutional personnel left over from the former Kuomintang all need to be registered. Liu Zhendong also registered truthfully under the persuasion of Wen Xiu, and frankly explained the historical problems.
Although Liu Zhendong and Fu Yufang thus spent a relatively difficult time, but the two also lived a hard life, but did not feel that life is hard, 2 years later, the Beijing government because of Liu Zhendong's good performance, it lifted Liu Zhendong's supervision and control, assigned him to the cleaning team as a worker, also had a salary, life was guaranteed, Fu Yufang has been with her husband, always considerate of Liu Zhendong.
Liu Zhendong also inadvertently learned the true identity of his wife 6 years after marriage, and only then did he know that Fu Yufang was the Qing Dynasty imperial concubine who dared to divorce the last emperor Puyi- Erdete Wenxiu.
Wen Xiu's family lineage is the Manchu Eight Banners of the Orde characteristic Mongolian ethnic group, in the Eight Banners belong to the yellow flag of the Upper Three Banners, the father Duan Gong was the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the mother is Duan Gong's step-brother Han Jiang, and a younger sister named Wen Shan, Wen Xiu was 8 years old, her mother sent her to the private Dunben Primary School in Huashi to study, after going to school, Wen Xiu changed her name to Fu Yufang.
During her school days, her grades in Chinese, arithmetic, drawing and music were very good, and the teacher liked this girl very much.
In 1922, the 14-year-old Wen Xiu was selected by Puyi as the Imperial Concubine, and from then on Wen Xiu no longer went to school and no longer used Fu Yufang's name, and the fifth uncle Hua Kan was responsible for teaching Wen Xiu the great ceremony of the monarch, as well as the Qing rules and precepts in the palace, and Wen Xiu also had to study the Daughter's Sutra.
After Wen Xiu entered the palace as a lady concubine, she entered the palace a day earlier than Empress Wanrong, but although Puyi married a concubine, but no one was favored, Wen Xiu also lived a simple and simple life in the palace, either embroidery or teach the palace women of Changchun Palace to recognize words, and later Puyi also hired a female teacher for Wen Xiu to teach Wen Xiu English.
However, in 2 years, Wen Xiu followed Puyi and others to live in Tianjin, when Puyi wanted to rely on the Japanese, Wen Xiu tried to persuade but did not succeed, but was snubbed by Puyi. In the 9th year after marriage, the 23-year-old Wen Xiu could not stand the snub of her husband, so she filed for divorce and was determined to divorce.
After marriage, Wen Xiu was also quite frustrated, and the identity of the imperial concubine brought her a lot of trouble, but Wen Xiu considered herself an ordinary person after leaving the Forbidden City, and never said that she was an imperial concubine.
In September 1953, the 44-year-old Wen Xiu suddenly suffered a heart attack and died of illness at home, Liu Zhendong also stayed by her side, after Wen Xiu's death, Liu Zhendong handled the aftermath of his wife, and then did not marry a wife.
