The Qing Dynasty was the last generation of feudal dynasties in China's history, and its decline also represented the intensification of new social trends of thought, declaring that the endogenous driving force of social demand for the elimination of feudal backward customs and the pursuit of social progress was required.
Most of the more people know about this dynasty comes from the depiction of the film and television works, although there is indeed a logic that does not conform to the facts, but it can still reflect the daily scene of the kings and grandeurs of the feudal dynasty at that time.
"Gege" and "Princess" are two identities full of nobility and glory, but as the last "Gege" of this declining dynasty, her life experience is far less carefree and luxurious than the real sense of "Gege", but she has suffered many tribulations in her life experience.
Today, let's walk into the story behind the last characters of the Qing Dynasty.
Free Soul Golden Jade
The last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Xuan Tong, announced his abdication in 1912, but six years after the fall of the dynasty, another baby girl was born in the palace of Prince Su, who fled from the imperial bloodline, and she was Ai Xinjue Luo Xianqi.
Although the feudal Qing Dynasty at that time had exhausted its strength, many princes and nobles who fled abroad were always unwilling and bent on restoration. In the memory of the young Gege, the way of life in his house was very different from that of the outside world.
There is already a new atmosphere and new etiquette outside, but their home is still in accordance with the various complicated etiquette of the old dynasty. Despite several struggles, the father's various restoration operations still failed, and in order not to implicate his children, he gave them Chinese names and sent them abroad.
Since then, she has had a new name: Jin Moyu. She was sent to Japan to study, where she learned a new culture that she had never been exposed to at home before, and this concept and atmosphere of freedom and equality deeply influenced Moyu.
She was determined to break free from her family's shackles and stay in Japan after graduation to find a job and work freely.
After several tribulations
Jin Moyu was fortunate to find a job with a good job and a considerable salary, but she did not seem to have any concept of financial management, and she was more generous in her daily life, often inviting colleagues and friends to dinner, so every month she had just paid her salary.
But at this time, her inner world is very comfortable, and she completely enjoys the world under her control. It was only then that a series of tragedies began to unfold.
After returning to China from her studies, Jin Moyu felt the importance of money for the first time. Because the father of the family, Old Ben, has been consumed by her profligate brothers. After the founding of New China, several of her brothers chose to leave Beijing, and she did not follow, so naturally the burden of supporting the remaining nine people in the family fell on her shoulders.
She washed people's clothes, changed the valuable items in the seller as much as possible, knitted sweaters for people, and took care of all kinds of chores, but her life was still worse than a day. It wasn't until later that her brothers sent her a sum of money to support her to open a restaurant, and life was better.
But then there was a huge test of life. Because the problem of treason was tightly investigated at that time, she also studied in Japan, so she was exposed by others and arrested and imprisoned, and stayed in prison for more than ten years, and she survived with her tenacious will.
After being released from prison, she gradually got the opportunity to write to the Party Central Committee to explain the truth, thus getting rehabilitated and winning a peaceful life for herself. In the future, she still chose to laugh at life, in addition to running her own light and leisurely life, she also contributed her strength to the country's charity and education with her husband.
In 2014, as she died, the old man spoke of the pain she had buried deep in her heart for many years, which was about her sister Yoshiko Kawashima, and it became a lingering haze in her life.
Royal scandal
The name Kawashima Yoshiko may be known to many people, and she is an out-and-out spurned female traitor. So why did Yoshiko Kawashima and her sister go completely against the path of the royal bloodline? This also brings up the royal family's set of binding etiquette.
After his father's failed restoration, in order to find the so-called patron, Prince Su gave one of his daughters, later Kawashima Yoshiko, to the Kawashima family in Japan. And since the moment she came to Japan, this adoptive father has not stopped beating and insulting her. And the feudal ideas she received from childhood created her cowardly and timid character that did not dare to resist.
Gradually, she was assimilated by this environment. Because of the thick rendering of Japanese militarism for a long time, Yoshiko Kawashima, who has gradually matured, has even developed her own dress towards masculinity, and her personality has become brutal.
The Kawashima family was very successful in domesticating her, and at the time when the Japanese launched the 918 Incident in northeast China, this imperial family of Chinese descent had already completely sided with the Japanese, and took the initiative to help the Japanese to commit countless cruel acts of cruelty to their compatriots.
In order to further make good use of this domesticated weapon, Japan has also specially sent military spies to train it professionally to help the Japanese more conveniently obtain information on the Chinese side.
Speaking of why his sister chose to betray the country that raised her, Jin Moyu mentioned it in her autobiography" "Jin Moyu Autobiography".
She said that in Kawashima's eyes, her biological father was an extremely selfish person, and he could give his own daughter to the murderous Japanese for his so-called "great cause" power. And from an early age, I witnessed my father's typical feudalism.
She hated her biological father so much that she was born in such a turbulent country, both inside and outside, and furthermore, she said that this hatred of the feudal family, the hatred of her selfish and barbaric father, and the hatred of the incompetence of those in power at the turning point of the times turned into resentment of the entire country and nation.
As a former royal family, she chose to stand up and not believe in her own country, which is not a great shame for the royal family?
A large part of the reason for the sister Jin Moyu's prison life of more than ten years is that the sister brought shame to her own nation and family, although she did not have any substantive interaction with her after her sister was sent to Japan, but she would still be classified as a "traitor family" by outsiders.
Throughout the life of The Elder Jin Moyu, although she was born in a bondage era and family, she has a free soul that is completely different from the atmosphere of that era, she longs for freedom and openness and puts it into practice and pursuit, despite the hardships, she still chooses to believe in the beauty of the world.
Although she was misunderstood because of her so-called "relatives", she still did not vigorously defend herself at the moment of her imprisonment, which can also be seen that the old man Jin Moyu is a person with a heavy blood line, although he is born with the same root, he has a completely different personality concept from his sister.
She was also free, and she lived freely in her old age, which was already a blessing for this last gege.
