On November 1, 1948, the Northeast Field Army concentrated three columns and several independent divisions and launched a general offensive against Shenyang from all sides. At this time, although there were still 130,000 defenders in Shenyang, most of them were remnants of defeated generals who had been defeated from the front, and their morale was low and they had no fighting spirit. Therefore, in only one day, our army captured Shenyang and captured Zhou Fucheng, commander of the enemy's 8th Corps. After the liberation of Shenyang, the peasants were allocated land, prices returned to normal levels, and people living and working in peace and contentment rejoiced.
The life of boilermaker Li Zhenhai has also changed a lot, since the death of his wife, he has been both a father and a mother, pulling four children, life is already very hard, what makes him even more angry is that he has worked day and night, but his salary is often withheld by the national army. After the liberation of Shenyang, although Li Zhenhai still burned boilers, his salary rose a lot, and he paid every month on time and in full, and he no longer had to worry about his life. Half a year later, after being introduced, he married a woman named Zhang Xiefei.
At that time, Li Zhenhai was 55 years old and Zhang Xianfei was 50 years old. Although she has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, the years do not seem to have left too many traces on Zhang Xefi's body, and she is still radiant. After marrying Li Zhenhai, Zhang Xena had to draw red thrushes every day, and then he played the piano and the pipa, basically not doing housework. Although Li Zhenhai has not seen much of the world, he vaguely feels that his wife is not an ordinary person. It was not until 50 years later that Li Zhenhai's children learned that their stepmother had a great future, and it turned out that she was Xiao Fengxian, a chivalrous prostitute who had been in the capital in her early years.
Xiao Fengxian, formerly known as Zhu Xiaofeng, was born in the Qing Dynasty. A year later, his father died of illness. Zhu Xiaofeng's mother was a partial house, and after her father died, Dafang drove Zhu Xiaofeng and her mother out of the house. The mother and daughter have no savings and are struggling to survive in Hangzhou. When Zhu Xiaofeng was ten years old, her mother, who loved her, died of illness, and thanks to the adoption of a nursing mother surnamed Zhang, Zhu Xiaofeng did not live on the street. After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, the nurse took Zhu Xiaofeng all the way to Beijing.
Forced to live, the nurse sent Zhu Xiaofeng to Yunjiban, Shaanxi Lane, one of the eight hutongs, and sold singing for a living, with the stage name Xiao Fengxian. Xiao Fengxian is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has a skillful mind, not only can pull erhu, play pipa, but also sing Peking Opera, write lyrics, and soon Xiao Fengxian will be famous in Beijing, becoming a famous prostitute in Beijing in the early years of the Republic of China. 1914 was a very special year for Xiao Fengxian, in which she met her true love, General Cai Yi.
At that time, Cai Yi was the overseer of Yunnan and had heavy troops, which was a great threat to Yuan Shikai, who was eager to claim the title of emperor, so Yuan Shikai took advantage of Cai Yi's return to Beijing to visit his mother. In order to find an opportunity to escape, Cai Yi ran to the Bada Hutong and indulged in the fireworks land, so as to paralyze Yuan Shikai so that he could relax his surveillance of himself, and then find an opportunity to escape. During this period, Cai Yi became acquainted with Xiao Fengxian and was fascinated by her talents, and Xiao Fengxian also admired the young and heroic Cai Yi very much, and soon became his confidant with a red face.
During this period, Cai Yi, who was both literate and martial, once gave Xiao Fengxian a number of couplets, one of which read: "I don't believe that beauty will eventually die, and never a chivalrous woman will come out of the wind and dust." Han Shizhong's wife, Liang Hongyu, was born in the wind and dust, but she assisted her husband in trapping Jin Wushu for 48 days in Huang Tiandang, and her name moved the world. Cai Yi also hoped that Xiao Fengxian could become his own xiannai assistant like Liang Hongyu. Xiao Fengxian did not live up to Cai E's expectations, and she tried her best to successfully help Cai E escape from the capital.
After Cai Yi returned to Yunnan, he immediately telegraphed Yuan, and yuan shikai died shortly after. Just when Xiao Fengxian thought that he could reunite with General Cai Yi, bad news suddenly came, and Cai Yi, who was only 34 years old, died of illness. The heartbroken Xiao Fengxian personally sent Cai Yi a picture of the elegy: "Unfortunately, Zhou Lang actually had a short life, and he knew that Li Jing was a hero." After that, in order to get away from this sad place, Xiao Fengxian changed his name to Zhang Xianfei, went far to the northeast, and lived a secluded life. During this period, he married a commander of the Nationalist Army, and after the outbreak of the Liberation War, the division commander was killed in battle, and Xiao Fengxian's life was once again in trouble.
After the liberation of Shenyang, Xiao Fengxian was introduced to li Zhenhai, a boilermaker. Li Zhenhai was very fond of Xiao Fengxian, but unfortunately he died of illness more than a year later. After Li Zhenhai's death, Xiao Fengxian lived with four children, and life was very difficult. In 1954, Xiao Fengxian died, and the magnificent generation of chivalrous prostitutes completed her bumpy and legendary life. In the 1990s, a reporter approached Li Zhenhai's son, Li Youcai, and asked about his stepmother, and Li Youcai learned that his stepmother was Xiao Fengxian, a famous prostitute who had once been very popular.
