introduction
The Republic of China period was an era full of contradictions and changes, and the marriage system was no exception. At that time, the new idea of free love has gradually emerged, but most of the marriages of literati are arranged by their parents, even if they are helpless, they can only obey the orders of their parents in the end, get along with their emotionless partners day and night, and spend their lives in a state of struggle and pain, so the fate of arranged marriages is generally not too good.
Influenced by advanced ideas, Yang Buwei knew this truth very early, so when the arranged marriage fell on her, she chose to disobey her parents' orders, and even wrote to her cousin without authorization to unilaterally dissolve the marriage contract.
This kind of thing was not common in the Republic of China period, and it was the woman who broke the contract. But if the protagonist is Yang Buwei, it is normal, because her life is destined to be extraordinary.
1.
In 1889, Yang Buwei was born in a prominent family, his grandfather was the famous Yang Renshan, rich and powerful, and Yang Buwei, as one of the most valued descendants of his grandfather, was naturally loved.
Speaking of Yang Buwei, I have to introduce the origin of her name, a good girl, why should I take a boy's name?
Yang Buwei's real name was not "Buwei", but "Lan Xian", which was later renamed "Buwei".
In Yang Buwei's middle school years, she had a very good friend, and once, a friend quipped, "You are a person who will do great things in the future, and you are going to enter the ranks of greatness, so you might as well change your name to Buwei." ”
Although it was a joke, Yang Buwei unexpectedly adopted her opinion, and then called himself Yang Buwei.
I have to say that this name is very consistent with Yang Buwei's personality. Although she is a woman, her temper is more like that of a boy, stubborn and brave, lively and mischievous, often beating the boys in the school to the nose and swollen face, and her parents are also angry. But the thing that made Yang Buwei's parents feel most angry was still to come.
2.
Before Yang Buwei was born, she was married by her family and promised to her cousin.
However, Yang Buwei had accepted the influence of new ideas in his growth, and he was very disgusted by family marriage.
Seeing that the day of marriage is coming, 19-year-old Yang Buwei has become very anxious.
She had thought about asking her parents to cancel the marriage contract, but it was almost impossible, so she decided to leave the marriage without her parents.
In this way, Yang Buwei personally wrote a letter of resignation to his cousin, making it clear that he did not want to marry him and advising him to find another good person.
The matter was soon known to both parents. After learning that Yang Buwei had withdrawn from marriage without authorization, his father was so angry that he said on the spot that he wanted to kill her, and he loudly scolded Yang Buwei: "Cancel the marriage contract without authorization, you are a great rebel, if you do not marry him, then you will not marry again in this life, we Yang family can not afford to lose this face!" ”
In the face of her tough father, Yang Buwei did not retreat at all, she replied: "Women and men have the same status, and I will not marry for the rest of my life, unless my cousin does not marry for the rest of his life!" ”
These words made Father Yang furious, and he even put down his harsh words, saying that he would never recognize Yang Buwei again in this life.
And Yang Buwei's personality is also very stubborn, and in the next eight years, she has never greeted her father again.
Later, Yang Buwei went to Japan to study. After wandering alone, Yang Buwei understood her father's good intentions, and she wanted to personally apologize to her father after returning to China, but before she could return to China, her father died of illness.
This has also become the pain of Yang Buwei's life, in order to make up for the guilt and self-blame in her heart, she even secretly decided in her heart that she would never marry again in this life.

Originally, Yang Buwei wanted to spend this life alone, but the appearance of Zhao Yuanren changed her mind.
After returning from Japan, thanks to the help of others, Yang Buwei established a hospital in Nanjing, and since then his career has flourished, and he has made many friends, including Zhao Yuanren.
The first time they met, Zhao Yuanren fell in love with Yang Buwei, who was strong and strong, and Yang Buwei also had a good feeling for Zhao Yuanren, who was elegant and stable.
The two began to communicate closely through letters, and the number of meetings increased.
After getting along, Yang Buwei thought that Zhao Yuanren was a responsible man, so she put forward the idea of marrying Zhao Yuanren.
Zhao Yuanren was overjoyed after hearing this, and was very excited, and immediately called out his friends Hu Shi and Zhu Hui as witnesses.
In this way, under the witness of Hu Shi and others, the two married.
They didn't even have a wedding, they didn't entertain guests, they came together with just a homemade marriage certificate.
Although the wedding is simple and simple, the feelings of the two are very sweet.
After marriage, Yang Buwei bore four children for Zhao Yuanren. Under the guidance of the two, their children have become the pillars of the country.
