As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win and conquer countless people.
This poem is a poem written by Qin Guan, the brother-in-law of the Song Dynasty literary hero Su Dongpo, to his wife "Su Xiaomei", "Queqiao Immortal". Tanabata is the season when the cowherd and the weaver girl meet, and two people who are deeply in love with each other, even if the time of meeting is short, can have such a beautiful moment, and they will meet thousands of times in the world.
The protagonist of today's story is such a lover, she is the "daughter" of the Shanxi warlord Yan Xishan, a beautiful party, and finally died in the embrace of her lover. Her life is ordinary and ordinary, and such a romantic ending is enough to make posterity sigh, create people, and the world is impermanent, but with such a romantic, it is enough to die without regrets.
Her name is Yan Huiqing, also known as the Fifth Girl, but to tell her story, we must start with her "father" Yan Xishan. The warlords fought and retreated to Shanxi with peace of mind
In 1887, Yan Xishan was born in Dingxiang County, Shanxi. The Yan family was a local merchant on the rich side, and the father initially named his son Wanxi, but Wanxi was not interested in the study of the Four Books and Five Classics, and played all day.
His father took him to do business with him, hoping that he would be able to inherit his father's business. But he lost all his money in three or two days. His father had no choice but to take him to the Shanxi Wubei Academy. In order for his son to have a resounding name as an officer in the future, his father led him to ask the fortune teller to give a name. The gentleman took his birthday eight characters and counted them, and the five elements lacked gold, which gave him the great name of Yan Xishan. Then he went through a life of ups and downs, and I don't know if it was as the fortune teller expected.
After graduating from the Martial Arts Academy, the country began to be in turmoil. His rise to prominence in the academy led him to be elected as a public student to study in Japan. It was at that time that he came into contact with the League, met Sun Yat-sen, and began his lifelong career as a military attaché.
He participated in the famous Xinhai Revolution, and then during the Beiyang government, he also supported Yuan Shikai, and later defected to Duan Qirui. It can be said that it is quite sophisticated and sleek, swimming in the cracks of war.
He once summed up his own way of dealing with the world as "neither occupying the left nor the right", which made him take advantage of him in the short term, but he lacked faithful faith for a long time, resulting in the evaluation of him by posterity.
Even though he had participated in so many political movements and had been exposed to all kinds of new ideas, he felt that he could not achieve great things, and retreated to Shanxi as a small bully, some people called him an excellent authoritarian, and the rapid development of Shanxi's economy that was still unaffected in the chaos of war also limited the invasion of foreign capital and foreign ideas; some people said that his tyranny made the people at the bottom cry bitterly, and the result was that when the Red Army came to liberation, it directly won the support of the people.
However, in the chaotic war, his practice of swinging left and right and protecting himself is still difficult for people to agree with, and the country is in trouble, but he still builds behind closed doors and is at ease to be a local warlord. This so-called "moderation" is actually a kind of spiritual "rout" and "defection."
Compared with a large number of national righteous soldiers and heroes of the War of Resistance, his "retreat and retreat" is full of criticism and is actually a cowardly act. If he can actively strive for a social ideal, presumably his merits will not stop there. A lifetime of wind and rain, fortunately, I finally got a heart
In yan Xishan's magnificent life, he naturally encountered many diseases and tribulations. He had married two wives, but neither of them had won his heart. Among the women who surrounded him, only Yan Huiqing became his favorite.
Although she was not part of his family, she later became his closest relative. In fact, according to the generation, it should be his cousin, who was born to The Third Wife of Yan Xishan's uncle Yan Shudian, Qu Shi.
Yan Huiqing's nickname is Five Girls and Five Sisters, and Yan Xishan affectionately calls her Five Fresh Sons, and she is 27 years younger than Yan Xishan. Such a disparity in age is naturally met with suspicion and criticism from outsiders, but they are still called "father and daughter".
Although she has not read many books and her cultural level is not high, Yan Huiqing is known as the first beauty of Shanxi and the beauty of Song Meiling in Shanxi. She was married to two people, her first husband was Qu Peihuan, and after Qu Peihuan's death, she married Liang Feiwu, who returned from studying in Japan.
Liang Wuwu did not really like her, he frankly told Yan Huiqing that he had a lover outside, and marrying her was only in name. However, Yan Huiqing also began to contact Liang Huazhi and slowly fell in love with this thoughtful young man.
Since the beginning of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Yan Huiqing has successively served as the director of the Shanxi Branch of the Wartime Children's Nursery Association, the representative of the Kuomintang "National Congress" and the deputy trade union director of the Comrades' Association, but she is not interested in it, and if necessary to speak, she also let others draw up the speech in advance, and is by no means an active member in the political situation as outsiders speculate about her.
Her main contribution was to take care of Yan Xishan's daily life in the Yan family. Because Yan Xishan experienced ups and downs outside, he often ate the last meal without eating, and his diet was very irregular, so he fell into a stomach disease.
Yan Huiqing carefully arranged recipes for him after consulting the doctor, did not let him eat more, did not eat less, and always made some hometown small dishes to adjust his appetite. And the reason why she can take care of Yan Xishan so well is also inseparable from her smooth handling.
She has a cheerful and generous personality and is very discerning. When she saw that Yan Xishan was angry because of the situation, she told a small folk story to make Yan Xishan happy. Moreover, as Yan Xishan's external secretary, she can also help complete some small people's feelings.
And each time it can be smoothly and perfectly solved, so that Yan Xishan is more and more dependent on her. Under the careful care of Yan Huiqing, he spent a period of time peacefully, and the pain in his body gradually faded, no longer becoming his daily torture.
He is very grateful to have such a "daughter" to help him solve the problems of life and take care of life. And this peaceful time, until the end of Yan Xishan's escape.
The golden cicada shed its shell and fell into the suffering mandarin duck
In 1949, the cannons of national liberation resounded through the air. The Nationalist government collapsed, and the liberation of Shanxi was just around the corner, so Yan Xishan could not hold back and secretly began to plan a plan for the golden cicada to break out of its shell.
He hinted that Xu Yongchang, Jia Jingde, and other close associates in Nanjing would arrange a drama and propose to Acting President Li Zongren that he be invited to Nanjing to discuss state affairs. As soon as the invitation call arrived, he immediately got on the plane and escaped from Shanxi.
As for his "daughter" Yan Huiqing? During this time, she has disregarded the outside world's opinion and openly entered and exited in pairs with her lover Liang Huazhi in the Yan family. She met the true love of her life, although both of them already had a family, but Liang Huazhi's wife ignored him and flew away from Shanxi with her son on the pretext of seeing a doctor.
When the communist army invaded Taiyuan, Liang Huazhi was dating Yan Huiqing. Neither could have imagined that the wave of liberation would come so quickly, and neither of them wanted to be prisoners and spend their lives in prison.
He immediately decided to do as Hitler and Eva had done when they were defeated, and persuaded Yan Huiqing to commit suicide by poisoning, and then the aide-de-camp came to burn their bodies.
Before his death, Yan Huiqing sent a telegram, which is the famous "Yan Huiqing to Yan Xishan's Desperate Telegram". Among them, "although the sister is a female stream, her death will has been decided." Seeing the jade shattering, how dare you destroy it? "Let all future generations read it and burst into tears, lamenting that this weak woman in the chaotic world, fate is like duckweed in the rainstorm, fluttering with the wind."
When Yan Xishan finally received this letter in Shanghai, he also cried bitterly. His original intention was only to let Yan Huiqing stay in Shanxi to consolidate the army's morale, so that the Shanxi army still had the confidence to fight, and then arrange for Yan Huiqing to flee after resisting for a period of time.
I just didn't expect the power of the people to be so strong, and the wave of liberation directly flooded Shanxi. Unfortunately, the deceased could not be resurrected, and could only leave him with a lifetime of regret.
Yan Huiqing is beautiful, but it is not only about her appearance. She is also a woman with backbone and talent. She did not want to be a slave, she was willing to dedicate herself to love. Only the last short time of her life was in her hands, and more than that, her life had been shaken by the big picture.
She tried to be an extraordinary woman, she longed to love someone who wanted to love, but unfortunately she was not born in peacetime. And in the turbulence of the times, she still emits her own brilliance, which is a bright but not dazzling brilliance, a calmness that sees death as a homecoming, an atmosphere that finally stops asking for advice from the surroundings, a smile that ignores the coaxing, a indifference that washes away the extremes, a thickness that does not need to be said, a peak that is not steep - although the end is tragic, it is ultimately no regrets in life.
