During the Republic of China, Shanghai produced a legendary figure, he was Du Yuesheng, as soon as he heard this name, he had the feeling of a big guy. Yes, the biggest title in his life is the boss of the Shanghai Youth Gang. Today we will not talk about Du Yuesheng, but about his woman, a woman who has no name but has always served him for many years.
This woman's name is Meng Xiaodong, and she is no smaller than Du Yuesheng in terms of fame. In 1907, Meng Xiaodong was born, because his family were all Peking Opera actors, and Meng Xiaodong also embarked on the road of acting very early.
Meng Xiaodong's talent is also really high, debuting on stage at the age of 12, and being predicted as a "star of tomorrow" at the age of 14. Therefore, the gene is too important, just like the children of many athletes, the sports cells are also very rich, which is not something that can be exercised by hard work!
In 1938, it ushered in a major turning point in Meng Xiaodong's acting career. At that time, she went through several turns, and finally became a closed disciple of a generation of Peking Opera master Yu Shuyan, and after the guidance of the master, Meng Xiaodong's level was greatly improved, known as the "Winter Emperor", completely a big star of that era. A "huang" character is enough to see the depth of the audience's love for Meng Xiaodong, enough to show the high level of Meng Xiaodong's skills.
So, how did Du Yuesheng know Meng Xiaodong?
In fact, as early as when Meng Xiaodong was not very famous, Du Yuesheng began to pay attention to her. Until 1936, Meng Xiaodong had an intersection with Du Yuesheng's wife Yao Yulan by chance, and happened to know Du Yuesheng, and the fate of the two began. Although they met, the two did not soon get together, but in 1946, Meng Xiaodong was deeply moved by Du Yuesheng, coupled with Yao Yulan's matchmaking, the two finally came together.
The family then moved to Hong Kong to settle down. At this time, Du Yuesheng was over sixty years old and sickly, and Meng Xiaodong had been taking care of Du Yuesheng since she entered the door, and taking care of Du Yuesheng had become her daily affair. Now that I think about it, why Yao Yulan wants to match the two, it is likely that she does not want to take care of her elderly husband.
At the same time, Meng Xiaodong is also very low-key on weekdays, has not fought with Yao Yulan for anything, and is almost indifferent to anything. Until one day in 1950, Meng Xiaodong changed.
At that time, Du Yuesheng called the whole family and said that he was going to take everyone to live in France and calculate how many passports were needed. After counting the number of people, Meng Xiaodong stood up and said to Du Yuesheng, "I will follow, count the girls or the girlfriends." Suddenly, everyone present was shocked, and Meng Xiaodong, who was usually silent, actually took the initiative to speak, and also asked such a sharp question!
Meng Xiaodong's words also illustrate the truth, that is, she has never had a name. Logically, her question is not excessive at all. Du Yuesheng was also stunned, but quickly reacted and announced to everyone that he and Meng Xiaodong had become intimate that night. At this point, Meng Xiaodong really became Du Yuesheng's wife.
