What impact does identity have on a person? Status, money, reputation? Maybe not, but it can bring people a killing disaster. In Europe, where workers' revolutions were rife, the fate of the aristocracy seemed precarious.
They enjoyed years of respect and affection, but they were ousted from power or even killed because of the awakening of the people at the bottom, whether there were good people among them or not.
In fact, many European aristocrats were not bad in themselves, and they were very kind, they were very kind to the people, and they took out their money to help the poor people.
But it is unfair to them to be killed indiscriminately by revolutionaries because of their identity.
A noble princess of a noble status married another noble prince of noble status, and their lives may seem as beautiful as fairy tales to outsiders.
But in fact, their lives are full of darkness, the prince is assassinated by the revolutionaries, and the princess is buried alive, and they cannot return to their hometown. The princess, on the other hand, asked to be buried in China, just for peace.
The most beautiful princess on the banks of the Rhine
The princess who married the noble prince mentioned above was named Elizabeth Fyodorovna, and her status was as noble as her name. She was born into the nobility and enjoyed endless luxury, while she herself did not become arrogant and willful because of too much pampering.
Elizabeth's father was the Grand Duke of Hesse and the Rhine, her mother was Princess Alice, the daughter of Queen Victoria, and her sister was the last queen of Tsarist Russia.
It can be seen that her family is aristocratic, and her status is more noble than that of ordinary duke families.
She was as cute as a doll when she was a child, and her blue eyes were as beautiful as the Rhine in her country. She was not an arrogant princess, she was a very approachable princess, her smile was very sweet, and the world judged her as the most beautiful princess on the Rhine.
Elizabeth grew up living with her mother and was therefore happy, and boys and girls born into the nobility had different fates. Because the boy is the future heir, he has to learn all kinds of etiquette and homework from an early age. And girls don't need to get involved in the war of contention, they just need to clean themselves.
Therefore, this little princess had a very happy childhood, she was cared for by everyone and grew up, even cherished by the people. It is precisely because of her freedom that she can choose her own husband and not have to listen to other people's arrangements.
A bit like the princesses of our country, you can escape the fate of and kinship, like the princess born of the nobles, most of them have become political pawns.
Elizabeth is because of her noble status, so she can choose the person she likes.
And the person she liked was Sergey, the son of Alexander II of Russia, who was also a man of power from birth.
The two often met for political reasons, and over time they developed feelings.
In addition, there is a similarity between them, that is, they have all experienced the pain of losing their mothers. Elizabeth's mother left her early, and so did Sergey. It is precisely because of this that the two can understand each other's emotions better than others, and it is inevitable that they will feel sorry for each other.
With a foundation of feelings, after reaching a certain age, the wedding was successfully held. Their wedding was extravagant, and on that day Elizabeth became the happiest woman.
Although she did not care about external conditions, she was still touched by Sergei's intentions. In this way, the most beautiful princess of the Rhine married her beloved prince.
Buried alive because of the war, she asked that the body be buried in China
After getting married, Elizabeth gradually saw a different side of her husband, and the husband in her heart was a gentleman, always taking care of himself in front of others.
However, the husband in front of outsiders is a very ruthless person, and even brutally kills people. At first, she couldn't believe that this was her husband's true face, and she couldn't accept that the other side of the Confucian prince was a murderous maniac.
But in fact, it is not surprising that Sergey has such a personality. It was true that he was good to Elizabeth, because Elizabeth could give him warmth that no one else could give.
But it's also true that he's cruel to other people.
Because he lost his parents at an early age, under the struggle for aristocratic rights, he would inevitably use weapons to protect himself, otherwise he might have died in his youth.
Although Elizabeth saw the other side of her husband, she did not get bored with him either. Instead, do something good for your husband in another way, trying to alleviate some of his sins.
She always used her own money to help the people, even selling her dowry to open a refuge for those who could not eat, and the poor people at that time knew her good deeds.
However, her kindness could not save her sinful husband. During an outing, her husband was assassinated and killed. Despite her deep sorrow, she pardoned her companions.
Because she knew that her husband's actions would inevitably bring disaster, all this had nothing to do with her companions. She couldn't let her family fall apart and let other people's families be separated.
Because of her move, the whole country was shocked, and they couldn't believe that there was such a kind woman behind the cruel prince.
And, since then, Elizabeth has also moved out of her palace and built a church with her own money.
The church is still in use today, and there is a statue of her in front of the church in honor of her. After the church was built, Elizabeth moved in completely, and she volunteered to become a nun to serve the poor and the poor.
There is free porridge in the church, which is served at any time for those who cannot eat. There are also places to stay and shelter people who do not have a place to stay.
Although her kindness touched the world, the ruthlessness of the war did not forgive her. At that time, the situation in the revolution in Russia was very serious, and the resentment of the people at the bottom was so deep that they could not forgive the nobles who had exploited them. Therefore, as long as it is a person who is related to the nobility, they will not let it go.
In such a situation, many people advised Elizabeth to leave, and her relatives had even paved the way for her to retreat.
However, she resolutely stayed here, in her heart, she was already a nun, did not care about life and death, and only hoped to help others as much as she could.
At this time, her love has become a great love, spreading to all people, even if it can help a person, it is also a trace of her life. In the end, the revolutionaries did not spare her because of her kindness, and she was buried alive to death. Before her death, she had only one last word, that is, she hoped that she could be buried in China.
In fact, she chose to be buried in China because she had a relatively good relationship with Soviet Russia at that time, and China did not reject the religion she believed in. In order to feel a peaceful environment, she hopes to be buried in China.
The princess who has felt the war of her life is ultimately hoping to feel peace in a pure land. Later, after the war stopped, her body was transported back to her country.
