When it comes to the emotional life of the last emperor Puyi, people will think of his empress Wanrong, or Shufei Wenxiu, but few people will think of the big gege named Guanyan Tongji. This Gege has a beauty that does not lose grace, and is even called "the most beautiful Gege in the late Qing Dynasty", but her whole life has been trapped by love, obsessed with Puyi, but never harvested a day of her own happiness.
Born in 1913, this was an awkward year for the late Qing dynasty, when the Manchu Qing Empire had just fallen, and all its glory was wiped out overnight. Although He was the daughter of Henghui Gege and the cousin of Empress Wanrong, she was only nominally Gege, and she was not considered prominent under the turmoil of the times.
Fortunately, her mother was very attentive to her upbringing, and raised her into a delicate and polite, quiet and gentle lady, and the complete face of the child was indeed born very beautiful, the skin was fair and the features were exquisite, and the cousin Wanrong had a little bit of a godlike appearance, but the classical charm was better than the graceful appearance. It is such a beauty, but her emotional experience is extremely bumpy and desolate.
When Yan Tongji was 17 years old, the family set a family affair for her, and the man was Ai Xinjue Luoshi. Even though the Qing Dynasty had perished, in the hearts of the Yan Tong Ji family, Ai Xin Jue Luo was still their respected surname. But after the engagement, the rumors of the man and the drama were in the city, and for the sake of the daughter's reputation, the family could not marry the finished Yan Tongji again, so the first family affair was blown up.
Later, Yan Tongji settled in a rented house in Beijing with her mother and grandmother, and her neighbor was Meng Xiaodong, the "Winter Emperor of Peking Opera" at that time, and she and Wanyan Tongji formed a deep sisterhood. The costume photo left by Yan Tongji is the shape that Meng Xiaodong made for her, and Meng Xiaodong also took photos through the flag suit of Yan Tongji.
After 1959, Puyi was pardoned and returned to Beijing, when the complete Yan Tong Ji was not young, but because of his harshness on feelings, he could not meet the right object. At that time, her cousin Wanrong had been dead for many years, and Puyi was single, which made Yan Tong remember endlessly. As early as when she was young and visited her cousin in the Forbidden City, Guanyan Tongji actually secretly fell in love with Puyi, but at that time she did not want to destroy Wanrong's happiness, so she never said it, and now that Puyi is single, Wanyan Tongji wants to bravely pursue her own happiness.
She entrusted someone to tell Puyi to match, hoping to marry him, but Puyi didn't think about it and refused. Such a beautiful person as Yan Tongji, even if she is more than fifty years old, she is very stylish, she knows the book, the maintenance is also very good, it looks only thirty or forty years old, Puyi is still seven years older than her, why refuse it?
It turned out that Puyi said that now that it is a new China, he does not want to be with the old Manchu women, and will only consider the daughters of ordinary people. Even so, Finished Yan Tongji did not give up, she has been looking for opportunities to invite Puyi to dinner, entrusting people to say peace, so that Puyi later felt a headache when she heard the name of Finished Yan Tongji. It was not until Puyi and Li Shuxian got married in 1962 that Yan Tongji gave up entanglement after crying.
But she always thought of Puyi in her heart, in 1965 Puyi fell ill and was hospitalized, she went to visit him again and again, and when she entered the ward, she did not want to leave, and even Li Shuxian's visiting time was occupied by her. Puyi was overwhelmed with annoyance, and finally once scolded Yan Tongji fiercely, he blasted her away.
In fact, for such a long time, it is not that no one wants to marry Yan Tongji, but she has Puyi in her heart and has no idea about other people. So until she died at the age of 90, she lived alone for most of her life, and finally even died alone in a nursing home. Because a relationship has bound his life, the fate of this Gege is really lamentable.
