He published a newspaper divorcing her husband, wanguan family, and later remarried to a farmer, and her husband did not know her identity until his deathbed
In the late Qing Dynasty, social unrest and the collapse of the Qing government were february 12, 1912, but puyi, as the last emperor, was able to continue to live in the imperial palace at the beginning, and the state also allocated 4 million taels of silver every month as the living expenses of the last imperial family.
Although the Qing government is gone, but in the imperial palace still maintains the system of the Qing Empire, when the concubine should still be chosen, in 1922, only 13-year-old Wen Xiu entered the palace to marry Puyi, who was only 15 years old, at this time the palace no longer had three palaces and six courtyards, but there was always a contradiction between Empress Wanrong and this concubine Wen Xiu. Wanrong, with the qualifications of an empress, often suppressed Wenxiu, who was originally introverted and gentle, and also gave way to Wanrong everywhere.
In 1924, Feng Yuxiang launched the Beijing coup, after Puyi was expelled from Beijing, Puyi and his wife and concubines first settled in Tianjin, the Japanese took the initiative to find Puyi, Puyi also wanted to return to the place where the ancestors in the northeast stayed to restore the glory of the empire, Wen Xiu expressed a firm disagreement with this. In fact, at this point, her decision was ultimately correct, but at that time, Puyi already had this heart, so the relationship between Wenxiu and Puyi became more and more mysterious.
In 1931, Wen Xiu still made a major decision in his life, choosing to divorce Puyi, this kind of thing once made public, immediately attracted the opposition of the Manchu Qing widows and even the mother's family at that time, and Puyi was certainly unwilling, which concubines took the initiative to break up with the emperor, Wen Xiu was the first to divorce the emperor. In the end, Wenxiu still hired a lawyer and peacefully broke up with Puyi according to modern law, and Puyi paid Wenxiu 55,000 yuan.
After the divorce, Wen Xiu began a truly free life, but from concubines to commoners, the gap in life was incomparably huge, once worked as an English teacher and changed her name to Fu Yufang, eventually unemployed, worked as a small businessman, the result was not successful, and finally found a stable job in a school, married the businessman Liu Zhendong in 1949, this marriage finally let her experience what is the happiness of the family, but in 1953 she had a serious heart attack, and only told her husband before she died that she was Puyi's concubine Wen Xiu.
