The word celebrity should be associated with words such as wealth, elegance, and modesty, but today's celebrities are more related to money and beauty, and these women show off their "rich and famous" day by going to high-end places, carrying luxury bags, and drinking noble lady-level afternoon tea.
But in fact, these things are "grouped together", just to take photos and post them on social media, attract men's attention, and break into the fashion circle and celebrity circle they want to enter. Therefore, Mingyuan is a social business card, and people gradually materialize and symbolize, and gradually lose their own nature.
The real celebrities in history originated in the 1930s, referring to women who came from famous backgrounds and often appeared in social places. The fate of these real celebrities is not all happy.
One of them was buried alive, although she was graceful and beautiful all her life, but her husband was killed by the explosion, and she was lonely and alone, and she could not escape the tragic fate brought to her by her identity.
Real celebrities
Elizabeth Alice was a true lady, born on 1 November 1864, her father Ludwig IV was a member of the German Royal Family, and from 1877 to 1892 became Grand Duke of Hesse and the Rhine, and her mother Princess Alice was the second daughter of Queen Victoria of england, so Elizabeth Alice was the granddaughter of Queen Victoria.
Born in the marriage of the German and British royal families, Elizabeth Alice can be said to have a truly pure blood aristocrat, she has the royal blood of the two countries, and is a real celebrity.
It is also in this way that she has experienced a good family education since she was a child, and has the beauty of the country, and was once known as the most beautiful woman in Europe. Her beauty was as astonishing as Princess Sisi's, and she was known as a model of beauty in Europe.
Bright and moving appearance, and a good slim figure, elizabeth Alice has been attracting attention since childhood, and when she grows up, she is even more like a girl. Her suitors were also numerous, each with a strong background, among which the German Emperor Wilhelm II also fell in love with her and begged to marry her.
It is also possible to see how attractive Elizabeth Alice's beauty is. But instead of trying to gain power and status by virtue of her beauty, she was unusually low-key, because her parents were very strict with her tutoring and never been overly spoiled.
Therefore, Elizabeth Alice did not pay too much attention to her beauty, but always strictly demanded herself, enriched herself from the heart, and thus gave birth to that elegant and noble temperament.
Heart to the Grand Duke of Russia
Despite the large number of suitors, None of Elizabeth Alice could see it, and her marriage was therefore dragged on. Until a man appears, Elizabeth Alice is instantly plunged into the vortex of love.
The man who could attract Elizabeth was Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, the fifth son of Alexander II of Russia, who had read classic masterpieces since childhood, performed very well in all aspects, and had a handsome face and figure, and was also brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, and made many achievements. He was also a very influential think tank during the reign of Nicholas II.
Similarly, Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich was also attracted by Elizabeth Alice's beauty and temperament, and her every move made the Grand Duke excited, and the two rushed in both directions, and soon fell in love.
On June 15, 1884, the 20-year-old Elizabeth Alice married Grand Duke Sergey and held a grand wedding, and the married life was also very sweet. Since they did not have children, they adopted Sergey's younger brother and lived a dull life.
But this beautiful situation did not last long, and Sergey's nephew Tsar Nicholas II ascended the throne in 1896, and he was also the last tsar of Russia.
On May 30 of that year, a tragic stampede occurred, resulting in the death of 1389 people on the spot, but Sergei did not care about the incident and instead suggested that Nicholas II attend a dinner hosted by the French ambassador.
This enraged the Russian populace and referred to Nicholas II as the "Bloody Nicholas", and Sergey's reputation plummeted, being criticized as more ruthless and cruel, becoming the enemy of the people.
In the years that followed, the Russian Empire faced an even more serious crisis, and it was only a matter of time before it fell apart. After the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War, the people in Russia were even more in the depths of the waters, and the Tsarist Russia's management of domestic public security also became inadequate.
At that time, Sergei, who was the governor of the Moscow region, was busy every day to suppress the people's marches and rebellions. He also ordered the expulsion of twenty thousand Jews from the Moscow Oblast, provoking even stronger resistance among the populace and making him the number one target of the Socialist-Revolutionary Party.
On February 15, 1905, Sergei passed through the Kremlin in a carriage and was blown to pieces with explosives by the Socialist-Revolutionary Ivan Karyev and killed on the spot.
Becoming a nun but also not hiding her tragic fate
With Sergey's unexpected death, Elizabeth became a widow, but she was still very kind and finally chose to pardon her husband's murderer Ivan Karyev. After that, she left the Tsarist royal family, sold her jewelry, built a church in Moscow, the Monastery of Mary Martha, and became a nun dedicated to the relief of the poor.
Elizabeth hoped that through her status as a nun, she would be able to do what she could, and at the same time hide in the church away from the court, so that religion would soothe the pain of losing her husband and avoid all kinds of political disputes. She hopes to be free of contact with the Socialist-Revolutionaries, to give her a share of freedom and save her life in this turbulent era.
However, her background still brought her a tragic fate. After the outbreak of the February Revolution and the October Revolution in Russia, the Tsar completely fell, and Elizabeth, although she had long since left the royal family, was still closely monitored by the new regime.
Finally, in 1918, Lenin ordered the arrest of all the remaining members of the royal family in Tsarist Russia, of which Elizabeth was, and was pushed into a mine pit and buried alive.
Later, the old Russian nobles secretly exhumed her remains and took refuge in Beijing, China, where they were buried in the Orthodox Cemetery outside and outside Anding gate in Beijing in 1920. In 1921, it was buried in the Church of Mary in Jerusalem.
brief summary:
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the people built a statue of her in her honor. However, such a beautiful, generous, dignified and elegant celebrity could not escape the fate brought to her by her birth background.
This is why many people in high positions deeply feel the inhibition that identity brings to life, and always hope that they can be an ordinary person. Those ordinary people, on the other hand, stare at the heights and desire power and wealth, but regard the freedom and happiness they have as ordinary people as worthless things.
In any case, Elizabeth, as a generation of celebrities, she did not rely on her background and was arrogant and arrogant, but more kind and innocent, although the times and background of birth have made her unfortunate, but she has no complaints, still use kindness to repay the world. She can be called a real, worthy celebrity.
