Tip: This may be Xiao Fengxian, a miserable life, has never been able to change herself, in the meilanfangto people to arrange work for her, it should be seen that in the long river of history, a small person like her, can still deserve people's sympathy and respect. Because no matter what, she used her own strength to cover Cai Yi's departure from Beijing.
The movie "Zhiyin" is a historical legendary feature film produced by Beijing Film Studio, which tells the story of cai Yi in the early years of the Republic of China, under the cover of The Wind and Dust Woman Xiao Fengxian, broke through Yuan Shikai's surveillance and returned to DianXingshi to beg Yuan. After its release in 1981, it touched many people, saying that Xiao Fengxian, who was born in a miserable background, was in Yunjiban, Shaanxi Alley, Bada Hutong, Beijing, and was overwhelmed by the reputation of Cai Yi, who often came here to "seek pleasure and have fun", and then in the piano song of "Mountain Flowing Water", he married Cai Yi as a confidant, covered Cai Yi's departure from Beijing, fired the first shot to please Yuan, and was thrown into prison. In the end, the war against Yuan yuan was won, and Yuan Shikai fell ill and died, but Cai Yi also became ill and died while seeking medical treatment in Japan. At this time, Xiao Fengxian fuqin who came out of prison pondered the zhiyin of that year, a string suddenly broke, and tears suddenly poured out.
Is history really like this? Let's start with Xiao Fengxian before he died. It is said that when Xiao Fengxian died in 1954, she still held a photo of Cai Yi in her hand, and many years after her death, Cai Yi's descendants gave her these four words: self-made sentimentality.
Cai Ye's descendants sent Xiao Fengxian these 4 words, not out of thin air, Cai Shulian is the daughter of Cai Yi and the second wife Pan Huiying, she once recounted such a past: when Cai Yi was in Beijing, she took her and her mother to see a play, Cai Yi pointed to a plainly dressed woman on the stage, that person is Xiao Fengxian (Xiao Fengxian). The mother carefully looked at the woman on the stage and felt that "people are quiet and quiet, without any sense of luxury and publicity", "it is still very good". If Xiao Fengxian and Cai Yi really had the legendary feelings of folklore, Pan Huiying would probably not sit there so quietly, let alone give Xiao Fengxian a good evaluation.
Today, too much information shows that in the experience of General Cai Yi, Xiao Fengxian was just a "tool man", and his confidant was also his second wife, Pan Huiying. Why is Xiao Fengxian cai's "tool man"? This also starts with Yuan Shikai.
On October 30, 1911 (the ninth day of the ninth lunar month), Cai Yi and the revolutionary Li Gengen led the new army in Kunming in response to the Wuchang Uprising, and Cai Yi was promoted to commander-in-chief. This uprising in response to the Wuchang Uprising, known in history as the Chongjiu Uprising, established the Governor's Mansion of Yunnan after the success of the uprising, declared the independence of Yunnan, and Cai Yi became the Governor.
In this position, he vigorously promoted the New Deal, developed the economy, improved the people's livelihood, was deeply loved by the military and the people, and completely overthrew the Qing government's feudal rule in Yunnan, while also making the democratic and republican ideology deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Yuan Shikai
Because of his military power and the town's defense of the frontier, Cai Yi soon became the object of Yuan Shikai's prevention and use, and in October 1913, Cai Yi was transferred to Beijing by Yuan Shikai to be encircled and monitored. At first, Cai Yi had illusions about Yuan Shikai, believing that Yuan Shikai was "a great talent and a great strategy, and the crowd wanted to return to the land", but when he constantly wrote to Yuan Shikai to provide ideas and suggestions for national defense construction and army building, and described his strong desire to build a powerful armed force, he was greeted by Yuan Shikai's ambitions--Yuan Shikai not only ignored his ardent desire to reform the military, but instead acted perversely and frantically carried out military dictatorship and restoration of the imperial system.
Naturally, Cai Yi became extremely disappointed in Yuan Shikai, and in May 1915, Yuan Shikai secretly signed the traitorous "Twenty-One Articles" with Japanese imperialism, which deeply stung his heart and made him completely see Yuan Shikai's reactionary face. In August, at the behest of Yuan Shikai, a "Preparatory Committee" appeared in Beijing under the banner of "raising public order for one country" and openly creating public opinion for the restoration of the imperial system. During this period, a man named Yang Du was very active, followed the restoration, and said that "if China does not abolish the republic and establish a monarch, there will be no hope for a strong country, no hope for a rich country, and no hope for a constitution" won the praise of Yuan Shikai. Yang Du was the host of the "Preparatory Society" and the promoter of the imperial system, in 1914, after Yuan Shikai dissolved the National Assembly, he served as a member of the Senate to participate in politics, Yuan Shikai called the emperor, he was the prime minister of the Yuan court.
Yang Du
Yuan Shikai's activities to restore the imperial system made Cai Yi extremely angry, and when he opposed Yuan Shikai's appointment as emperor, Yuan Shikai put him under house arrest and forbade him to leave Beijing, for fear that he would run back to Yunnan to rebel. Determined to "fight for the personality of forty million people" by force, Cai Yi pretended not to care about politics, so that Yuan Shikai could relax his guard against himself. However, the things in this world are not something you can believe as soon as you pretend to be someone else, so you have to pretend to be like that. Cai Yi accepted the advice of the people around him and decided to find a breakthrough from Yang Du, who was also a Hunan native, because as a fellow countryman, Yang Du hoped that Cai Yi could do something for Yuan Shikai as emperor, and at the same time, Yang Du was also a charming and erotic playboy. During the day, he worked for Yuan Shikai, and at night he always called on friends and friends to come to the Qinglou in the hutong to sing and sing.
Joining Yang Du's circle, in order to disguise himself deeper, Cai Yi began to be like Yang Du's friends, and had his own "good" girl in the Qinglou. Xiao Fengxian also walked into Cai Yi's life at this time. After some cups and cups, Cai Yi, who was dressed as a businessman, was taken to Xiao Fengxian by the boss to rest, and by feeling, Xiao Fengxian felt that the businessman in front of him must not be an ordinary person, not only told Cai Yi about his unfortunate experience, but also treated Cai E with sincerity, which made Cai E have some good feelings for her. At that time, Cai Yi lived in the cotton hutong in Xicheng, and Xiao Fengxian lived in Yunjiban in the Shaanxi Lane of the Bada Hutong, and the two became "confidants" when they came and went.
What kind of unfortunate experience did Xiao Fengxian have? Today's people only know that her original name was Zhu Xiaofeng, later changed her name to Zhang Fengyun and Zhang Xianfei, and she was a Manchu with ancestral home in Henan. Her father, surnamed Zhu, was a fallen Manchu Eight Banners military attaché who was later dismissed, and during the Guangxu years the family moved to Xiangtan, Hunan, and later to Hangzhou. Around 1900, she was born in Hangzhou. Not long after birth, the father died, because the mother was a partial room, she and her mother were abused by the main room, there was no way, the mother and daughter only had to leave the Zhu family and find another way to live.
More unfortunately, not long after, Xiao Fengxian's mother also died, and she was adopted by an old grandmother surnamed Zhang, because in the turbulent years of war, the grandmother took her from Hangzhou to Shanghai, let her learn opera with an artist, and began to sell singing for a living. After the death of her grandmother, she and her boss came to Beijing, changed hands several times, and were finally sold to Yunjiban. Because he was intelligent since childhood, he could read and hyphenate, could play erhu, played pipa, sang Peking opera, and wrote lyrics, and soon, he stood out with "good color and art" and became a famous prostitute in Beijing.
Because she felt different, Xiao Fengxian would not easily let go of Cai Yi, who might be able to change her destiny. Regarding her "loyalty" to Cai Yi, there is such a legend in the folk: Perhaps because she felt that Xiao Fengxian was not easy, Cai Yi wrote a couplet to give to her, lian yue: "Since ancient times, the beauty of many Ying, has never been a heroine out of the wind and dust." But at that time, Cai Yi only wrote a sentence "Phoenix Fairy Shi Canzheng" at the top of this couplet, but did not sign it below. Xiao Fengxian saw that he was a little dissatisfied, and said to Cai Yi, "Although you and I are very different in nobles and lowly, why should we hide our names?" Cai Yi signed the word "Songpo" for the couplet. Songpo is cai yi's word, Xiao Fengxian looked at it, immediately understood that the person in front of him was the famous general Cai Yi, who bit his tongue on the spot and let the blood drip on the couplet to show his loyalty to Cai Yi.
Not caring about politics, falling in love with the wind and dust woman, everything is a bit like here, but Cai Yi felt that it was not enough, and he wanted to add a fire, so he threatened to marry Xiao Fengxian back home, which had the roar of his two wives at home at night. The surveillance people reported these to Yuan Shikai, who said: "Cai Yi is a capable talent, who can participate in major state affairs, why can't he even handle this little thing in his own family!" Then two people were sent to mediate and comfort, but what the people who mediated and comforted came to cai's house and saw was that Cai Yi claimed to build a luxurious villa for Xiao Fengxian, which annoyed the original wife Liu Xiazhen and the second lady Pan Huiying, and the two roared forward, accusing and dissuading their husbands, but they did not expect Cai Yi to be angry, first beat a lot of furniture to pieces, and then punched and kicked Liu Xiazhen, and the Cai mansion in the cotton alley was made by him.
In front of the mediator, Cai Yi said that he would take Liu Xiazhen off, and Cai Yi's mother turned to her daughter-in-law and said that she wanted to leave herself and Liu Xiazhen together. Cai Yi said, "Go around, you all go!" Mrs. Cai loudly counted down her son, and with another handful of snot and tears, she packed her bags with Liu Xiazhen and decided to return to her hometown with Liu Xiazhen. Pan Huiying also stood up at this time, claiming that she wanted to go all the way, did not pass with Cai Yi, and returned to Yunnan with several women. What the mediators don't know is that this is a scene carefully arranged for them by Cai E, and Cai E's mother, Mrs. Cai, Liu Xiazhen, and Pan Huiying, are all aware of this, but they have staged a bitter meat plot with Cai E. In this bitter plan, they left Beijing and returned to their respective hometowns, and the rest of the matter, of course, was that Yuan Shikai finally relaxed his guard against Cai Yi, let him sneak back to Yunnan from Beijing, and with Tang Jiyao and others declared the independence of Yunnan on December 25, organized the defending army, launched the patriotic war, and finally won the victory over Yuan.
Former residence of Cai Yi
In June 1916, before his death, Yuan Shikai shouted: "Yang Du misled me!" But Yang Du still wrote such a link for him: "The republic mistakes China, China does not mistake the republic; return after a thousand years, and then evaluate this prison." Ming Gong bears Hong Xian, Hong Xian does not live up to Ming Gong; Nine original can be done, three repetitions. After Yuan Shikai's death, Li Yuanhong succeeded him as president of the Republic of China, and on July 6, 1916, Cai Yi was appointed as the governor and governor of Sichuan. However, at this time, Cai Yi's condition deteriorated, and he hastily dealt with the aftermath of Sichuan Province, that is, in September, he traveled to Japan to treat laryngeal cancer. On the morning of November 8, 1916, he died in Fukuoka, Japan, at the age of 34 due to ineffective medical treatment.
The news reached Beijing, and when Cai Yi was worshipped in Central Park, Xiao Fengxian wore a black veil and went to the memorial. Just as Yang Du wrote a bang for Yuan Shikai, she also wrote a pair of bangs for General Cai Yi, but her time spread all over the world: unfortunately, Zhou Lang had a short life; he knew that Li Jing was a hero! What does that mean? That is to say, "I knew that Zhou Lang was a hero, and unfortunately Zhou Lang was short-lived", but Zhou Lang was Zhou Lang, and the reason why Li Jing was pulled up was to make the verses equal, not repetitive, and appear to be literate.
In this regard, some people say that Cai Yi's death had a great impact on Xiao Fengxian, and since then, he has lived a life of anonymity. However, people should know that this pair of bangs was not written by Xiao Fengxian herself, but she asked someone to write it on her behalf, although she later hid her name, but in the clear-eyed people must be able to see that in Cai Yi's place, she is just like Li Jing who was pulled in the couplet, but it is a substitute for Zhou Lang. Or, to put it more bluntly, in Cai E," she is just a "tool person", not a confidant or lover of Cai E.
According to the "Story of Mr. Songpo", "One night, Cai Yi invited guests at Xiaofengxian, and just when the tourists were full and singing and drinking, Cai Yi went to Chongwenmen Station and left Tianjin by train, and no one knew at that time. That is to say, when Cai Yi left Beijing, he did not even tell Xiao Fengxian a word. Her feelings for Cai Yi can only be: I would have illuminated the moon with my heart, but the bright moon shone in the ditch.
In the end, Xiao Fengxian was also miserable: after Cai Yi's death, she left the public eye and married a brigade commander surnamed Liang in the Northeast Army at that time, and the two lived for many years, but left no descendants. On the eve of the founding of New China, she was more than 50 years old, the brigadier surnamed Liang died, and she remarried a boilermaker who was five years older than herself. The boilermaker' surname was Li, and she took a daughter who lived with her for a short time before she died, and she could only take her stepdaughter to live a difficult life.
At the beginning of 1951, Mei Lanfang, a master of Peking Opera, led a troupe to Korea to pay tribute to the volunteers who had gone to Korea to participate in the war, passing through Shenyang to perform and staying at the guest house of the Communication Office of the Northeast People's Government at that time. Xiao Fengxian heard the news and contacted Mei Lanfang and was able to meet. Mei Lanfangto arranged a job for her, and she went to work in a kindergarten in the provincial government. But a year later, she developed Alzheimer's disease and deteriorated health, dying in 1954.
This may be Xiao Fengxian, a miserable life, never able to change herself, in Mei Lanfangtuo's act of arranging work for her, it should be seen that in the long river of history, a small person like her is still worthy of people's sympathy and respect. Because no matter what, she used her own strength to cover Cai Yi's departure from Beijing. As for her feelings for Cai Yi's "falling flowers intentionally following the flowing water, and the flowing water has no intention of loving the falling flowers", she can only be traced back through those literary works, and give herself and people a certain comfort in the form of fiction.
