"The dragon sees the beginning but not the end, and the colorful phoenix spreads its wings in all directions." Mysterious people will always arouse the curiosity and interest of others. In the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, there was a woman who attracted the crazy pursuit of a group of men with her talent and mysteriousness. This mysterious woman eventually disappeared into the river of time, and it was only a hundred years later that she was discovered to be a man.
Pan Xiao juan
Every era will have a group of strange women, who are either captivated, or talented, or red-faced, or stunning. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic, a woman named Pan Xiaohuan stepped into people's sights on the flames of war in the chaotic world.
Pan Xiaohuan, born in an unknown place and at an unknown time, was one of the ordinary feudal women at that time, but she was not either. In that era of oppressive women, Pan Xiaohuan was more like an outlier. She was progressive in thought and informal to feudal regulations, she was talented and fascinating, and she was beautiful and attractive.
The mysterious Songling woman
At the end of the 20th century, the Qing Dynasty that ruled China began to weaken slowly due to its isolation, and the surrounding countries such as Tsarist Russia and Japan, which were originally despised by the Qing Dynasty, embarked on the road of modern capitalism because of the Industrial Revolution. This also led to the later survival and defeat of the Qing rulers under the attack of the great powers of various countries.
In 1904, Russia and Japan engaged in a fierce battle, and it was amusing that the two countries were fighting on Chinese soil. And the most chilling thing is that the Qing rulers actually ignored this and were indifferent. The negative attitude of the leading class led to the fact that the people of the time were also insensitive and accustomed to it.
The inaction of the rulers and the numbness of the people around them made the patriotic Pan Xiaohuan anxious, and after several nights of sleepless nights and tossing and turning, Pan Xiaohuan published an article in the magazine "Women's World" under the pseudonym of "Songling Woman" to criticize and denounce the rulers and management officials.
Woman's World was a magazine for women and the first women's magazine in China at the time. The sharp words of the Songling women poked at the sore spots of the inactive, weak and incompetent men at that time, which made them ashamed and embarrassed, and at the same time became more and more curious about this woman.
And this sharp-tongued article has been circulated among young people, and countless enthusiastic young men have fallen in love with her because of this article. Countless people began to inquire and look for this talented female writer, but they found nothing, and the Songling woman was too mysterious.
stir
An interesting soul is attracted to another interesting soul. After many inquiries, people learned that the original name of the mysterious Songling woman was Pan Xiaohuan. But Pan Xiaohuan is also extremely mysterious, no one has seen what she looks like, but everyone thinks that such a talented woman must also be a great beauty who has fallen into the country.
Pan Xiaohuan's talent has made her loved by countless people. At that time, many famous talents said that they fell in love and did not marry Pan Xiaohuan.
For a time, the name Pan Xiaohuan caused a sensation throughout the Republic of China.
As the dream lover of countless men, Pan Xiaohuan can receive thousands of love letters almost every day, and what makes people laugh is that because they can't find Pan Xiaohuan's address, the people who send love letters have to send their affectionate and even somewhat meaty requests to the magazine "Women's World". At this time, the head of the magazine was very distressed.
How popular is Pan Xiaohuan? In addition to the countless love letters, the good deeds at that time also made up a song to the effect that "to be an official is to be a foreign minister, and to marry a wife is to marry Pan Xiaohuan." ”
Beauty "True Face"
And Pan Xiaohuan saw that he had caused such a sensation, so he used this to produce a collection of poetry works called "Crying Taoya Soul". Like the first article, the main purpose of "Crying Taoya Soul" is to awaken the numb Chinese good boy Lang at that time, so that more people can see the situation and dare to stand up bravely to protect the stormy country.
This also made Pan Xiaohuan's fame even greater, and more people began to be infatuated with or even obsessed with her. "Non-Pan Xiaohuan does not marry" has become the mantra of countless celebrity inkers.
Soon, some people said that they had seen the true face of Pan Xiaohuan. It turned out that when the man was playing in the West Lake, he met a beautiful woman with bright eyes and bright teeth and clear eyebrows, and the graceful woman called herself Pan Xiaohuang, hoping that he could help send his manuscript to the "Women's World" magazine.
The fact that Pan Xiaohuan was really a strange woman with both talents began to spread, which made the already crazy suitors even crazier.
disappear
However, this talented and beautiful woman did not appear again. Pan Xiaohuan has never published a work in "Women's World" magazine again, she is like someone evaporated, mysteriously arriving, and silently leaving. Countless talents, giants, and young people are waiting for Pan Xiaohuan to appear again, but even if they look at it, Pan Xiaohuang has not appeared again. This makes them disappointed and helpless.
With the passage of time, the name Pan Xiaohuan slowly disappeared from people's memories.
Discover the truth a hundred years later
Who Pan Xiaohuan really was was an unsolved mystery at the time. Exactly a hundred years later, when someone studied the history of Songling, he accidentally discovered the deeds of Pan Xiaohuang, a "lover of the Republic of China", a Woman of Songling, and under curiosity, he flipped through a large number of materials and records, and finally discovered the truth.
It turned out that Pan Xiaohuan, who had fascinated countless talented young people, was not a woman, but a man!
This man is called Liu Weigao, and he also has a famous name called Liu Yazi. At the age of 16, Liu Yazi was obsessed with the books of the famous French thinker Rousseau, and since then, he has longed for and advocated human rights. Looking at the Qing rulers who were indifferent to the Sino-Russian war and watched the fire from the other side, and the men around them who could not even wake up the cannons, Liu Yazi mourned his misfortune and was angry. He immediately wrote an article calling on people, but the response was mediocre.
The purpose of men dressing up as women
Many writers at the time used women's pseudonyms to publish articles and get into trouble in order not to reveal their identities. People like Lu Xun, Ba Jin and others have done this.
After discovering that no matter how hard he tried, he could not wake up the numb people around him, Liu Yazi thought about it and finally decided to use the names of Songling Woman and Pan Xiaohuan as his pen names. After all, the appeal of a young, beautiful and talented woman is far stronger than the appeal of any thinker.
Liu Yazi did not expect that the name Pan Xiaohuan would become a hit, so he continued to work hard and published "Crying Tao Ya Soul" while it was hot. However, as for why he finally let Pan Xiaohuan disappear, perhaps he saw that Pan Xiaohuan was too hot and the fire was too much. His purpose has been achieved, and there is no need to allow a person who does not exist to continue to exist.
It can be said that the appearance of Pan Xiaohuan makes people can't help but be bitter and abnormal at the same time, the dragon sees the beginning and does not see the end, this mysterious woman is indeed not a human person, but more like an angel, after completing the task and leaving.
