Wang Minghua
There is a small hill on the east side of Beijing's Xiangshan Mountain, known as "Wanhua Mountain", as early as the last century, a celebrity who sang opera made a generous offer and bought this hill directly with a big hand.
The character "畹华", the name of the mountain "Wanhua", just happens to be a harmonic sound, and this mountain can also be regarded as a relationship.
In 1961, the famous horn died of illness, the theater collapsed half of the sky, the national leaders respected the artist, decided to give him the courtesy of a state funeral, buried in Babaoshan.
He spent his whole life on the stage "lively", walking and walking "vigorously", and the state funeral, for him, was indeed worth it.
But at this moment, his widow Fu Zhifang disagreed, and the woman stood up and said that the state funeral could be done, but it could not bury the Eight Treasure Mountain, and the Wanhua Mountain should be buried.
Mei Lanfang
The world wonders why there is a cemetery that does not go, but must be buried on a small hill, is it just because it is the private land he bought?
It was not until many years later, when people saw the three cemeteries next to each other in the Wanhua Mountain, with the names of Wang Minghua, Mei Lanfang, and Fu Zhifang, written impressively, that they suddenly realized.
It turned out that Fu Zhifang insisted on burying the famous "Mei Lanfang" in Wanhua Mountain that year, because here lay his wife, Wang Minghua.
Born with the same cave, dead with the cave, the most beautiful love in the world, but so!
But why did Fu Zhifang insist on burying her husband next to another woman? Is it fulfilled? Or forced to be helpless?
The tomb of the three people on the Wanhua Mountain clearly tells the world that the movie of these three people is not so simple.
Mei Lanfang and Fu Zhifang
When Mei Lanfang appeared on the stage dressed as a woman, she surprised the people watching the play offstage and caused a sensation in the world.
A smile, every move, the audience looks like a mesmerized, a man can interpret the characteristics of women so vividly, only Mei Lanfang in the world.
Suddenly, Mei Lanfang became a hot "big star" in the drama world, and his family and everything he had become the object of the world's enjoyment.
No matter how many years have passed, people will still say that behind this successful man there is a virtuous Fu Zhifang, and he also loved a woman named Meng Xiaodong, and the stories of these three people are more wonderful than the script.
But the cemetery of WanhuaShan told the world that Meng Xiaodong's marriage in Mei Lanfang was at best a supporting role, and the woman named Wang Minghua was the woman who let Fu Zhifang give three points.
It is said that Fu Zhifang is the woman behind Mei Lanfang, but if Wang Minghua did not accompany Mei Lanfang through that difficult time, would Mei Lanfang lose to "inverted position"? No one dares to say.
As the world knows, Mei Lanfang was born in a Family of Peking Opera, and began to learn drama from her teacher at the age of 8, starting with Qingyi and Hua Dan.
People who watch the play will more or less understand that when learning the play, the boy's voice change period is a hurdle, and for people who oppose the string, the voice change period should be especially cautious.
In 1910, the 16-year-old Mei Lanfang entered the voice change period, he lost his mother at the age of 14, he was lonely, coupled with being in the voice change period, unable to sing, depressed, but there was nowhere to solve.
The grandmother and uncle saw it in their eyes and hurt in their hearts, and they didn't know how to help the child, and finally came up with a way to marry him a daughter-in-law.
Mei Lanfang in her youth
In the Republic of China, the status of the singers is not high, so they have always been married in the industry, and the uncle Mei Yutian will look at the daughter of King Shunfu of Danjiao, Wang Minghua.
Wang Minghua was also born in the Liyuan family, not much worse than Mei Lanfang's family, which can be said to be a door-to-door marriage.
Moreover, Wang Minghua is two years older than Mei Lanfang, and the Mei family's marriage to Mei Lanfang is mainly hoping that someone will take care of him, so it is even more satisfactory.
Mei Lanfang had no father and no mother at that time, so her uncle took the lead and told him about this family affair, and the two young people who did not know each other were tied together by fate.
Mei Lanfang singing
The world must have thought that the loss of this marriage was lost in the word "arranged", but the next story was not as bloody as imagined.
The bride is graceful and generous, the groom is handsome and gentle, and the two are like a pair of bi people. They are talented and feminine, married as husband and wife, and there is no doubt about their love.
Wang Minghua is a traditional woman, in Mei Lanfang's world, the drama is greater than the sky; in Wang Minghua's world, the husband is greater than the sky.
At that time, Mei Lanfang's eyes were all his beautiful bridesmaids, and the bride's world was also her handsome and charming husband, which was really an enviable marriage for everyone!
But the mistake was that she shouldn't think of him as her whole world, but if she thought a little more about herself, she wouldn't have come to that point.
At that time, 18-year-old Wang Minghua married Mei Lanfang and became Mei Lanfang's lucky star, and his lonely fate has changed since then.
Less than a year after marriage, Mei Lanfang regained her voice, and this drama-loving person came back to life, and soon became popular with "Yutang Spring".
After marriage, one of them was responsible for acting on stage, one person was responsible for taking care of housework, although she lived a poor life, she was diligent and thrifty, and everything in the Mei family was taken care of by her.
When Mei Lanfang became popular in the theater world, international friends came to Beijing for three major events: one view of the Forbidden City; two views of Mei Opera; and three visits to Mei Mansion.
When everyone arrived at Mei Mansion, when they saw the mistress of the Mei family, they all praised her elegant temperament and demeanor, and sighed that she was worthy of Mei Lanfang's wife.
Everyone praised "Mei Lanfang's wife", but no one knew that her name was Wang Minghua, and since marrying Mei Lanfang, she had become his appendage.
And since Mei Lanfang got married and acted on stage, she could no longer do without his virtuous wife.
Wang Minghua was born in the Pear Garden family, although the singing was not as good as Mei Lanfang, but she was also a person in the same way, and she understood many things.
It is said that when Mei Lanfang first performed a costume play, she always wore a wooden box with her, and people later learned that it contained a wig set, which was a wig that Wang Minghua had combed for him.
That hairstyle, except for Wang Minghua, no one can comb it, and she only combs his hair for him.
Good looking, shrewd and capable, Wang Mingfang is a typical woman who "can go to the hall and get down to the kitchen", and the virtuous wife that many people dream of.
At that time, no matter where Mei Lanfang went to perform or participate in social activities, there was a Wang Minghua around her, and on occasions when some women were inconvenient to appear, she had to accompany her in men's clothing.
No matter how many years they have been married, they are like newlyweds, wherever they go together, she enjoys it, and he never gets tired of it.
In the theater, she dressed as a man to accompany him, and he went to Japan to perform, and she went with him.
For Wang Minghua, only by following him can she be assured; for Mei Lanfang, only if she follows, he is at ease.
At that time, Mei Lanfang was responsible for all the performance affairs of her, she was his wife, but also his exclusive makeup artist and agent.
The world is full of all kinds of temptations, Mei Lanfang is in the ascending stage of her career, she is afraid that he will not be able to withstand the temptation, take a detour, and destroy himself.
In Wang Minghua's view, his life seems to be more important than his own life, and accompanying him, watching him, and helping him have become the whole of her life.
However, she inevitably took her husband's career too seriously, so that she completely lost herself and caused her own tragedy.
Mei Lanfang and Fu Zhifang
As early as the second year of their marriage, Wang Minghua bore a son for Mei Lanfang, named Dayong, and later gave birth to a daughter, called Fifty.
He sang his favorite play, and she accompanied the people she loved the most, and they were at home with their children and children in their spare time.
Sons and daughters are on their knees, and their careers are thriving, and the world's lifelong desires are nothing more than that.
I thought that such a bland and indifferent, two people can work together to complete a lifetime, but life is so long, there are always many things that are unexpected.
After giving birth to two children, Wang Minghua took matters into her own hands and went to sterilization, and her original good hand was beaten by herself, and since then she has pushed herself into the abyss.
At that time, there were not many two children, not to mention that the Mei family only had one son in this generation of Mei Lanfang, so why was it sterilized and no longer had children? The world is puzzled.
In fact, Wang Minghua's idea is very simple, in her heart, Mei Lanfang's career is all she has, and other than that, there is nothing more important than this.
As a woman, she dressed as a man to accompany him to the theater, which was somewhat inappropriate, and it would be even more embarrassing if she accidentally became pregnant again.
Moreover, in her opinion, she has already given birth to two children, and after the Mei family has it, she will have no worries.
Although she did a very good job of "sterilization", at that time, it seemed that it was not a big problem, but fate always liked to joke with people, and "sterilization" cut off her own back road.
At that time, the song was to raise eyebrows, and later it was only said that the world was impermanent.
Little did she know that a measles would take the lives of her two children.
Losing a pair of children is tantamount to a perfect family collapsing half the sky, and Wang Minghua is completely crushed by this sudden disaster.
As a mother who has lost two children, no one is more miserable than her, but in the end she still has to take care of her husband's mood, always advising him: "You are busy with your going, don't worry about me, I'll be fine." ”
They have no children, and they will never have children again, and Wang Minghua is immersed in pain and regret, and it is difficult to extricate himself.
In addition to having to endure the pain of losing a child, there is one more thing they have to consider,
Wang Minghua has no children, which means that the incense of the Mei family will be broken.
At that time, her mother's family wanted them to adopt her nephew as her son, but Mei Lanfang did not agree.
Mei Lanfang believes that she is not yet 30 years old, and she can still give birth to her own children, and there is no need to adopt other people's children.
It had become clear that his wife could no longer have children, but he insisted on having children, and it was obvious that the idea of remarriage had sprouted in his mind.
For Wang Minghua, who has just lost her child, it is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, but there is nothing she can do.
If it was today, they could have done Dink, but in those days, they couldn't.
No filial piety has three, no queen is greater, not to mention that their Mei family is still a pear garden family, more emphasis on blood inheritance, Mei Lanfang can even divorce his wife for this.
But their husband and wife love as before, Mei Lanfang will not divorce his wife because he is childless, but for the sake of his family, he cannot stop marrying.
If he hadn't taken the initiative to do the sterilization operation, maybe his husband wouldn't have to marry again, and in the end he would have taken the wrong step.
But there is no regret medicine in the world, and things have developed to the current situation, no matter what you do, you can't get it back.
At this time, a woman named Fu Zhifang appeared in their lives, for the Mei family, it was a charcoal in the snow, and for Wang Minghua, it was a comfort for the rest of his life.
Fu Zhifang is also a disciple of Wu Lingxian, and she is still Mei Lanfang's sister, sixteen years old and not yet married.
Wu Lingxian once took Fu Zhifang to Mei's house to get the script, not only Mei Lanfang at a glance, but even Wang Minghua felt good.
They are all girls who sing opera, and they know the roots, and the people of the Mei family immediately hit it off and decided to go to the Fu family to propose to them.
Although Mei Lanfang is a red person in the drama world and has a dignified appearance, he is married and has lost his son, and he is more than ten years older than Fu Zhifang, and Fu Zhifang's mother did not agree to this marriage at first.
Why would a good girl go to someone to make a second room? Fumu's objections are understandable.
But people are selfish, and when she learned that Mei Lanfang's wife could no longer have children, she agreed to the marriage.
The Wang family could not have children, and the Mei family broke the incense, so the purpose of Mei Lanfang marrying Fu Zhifang was obvious.
After FuMu clarified the reasoning for this, she put forward two conditions, and the Mei family agreed to it, and if it didn't agree, it would give up.
Mei Lanfang and Fu Zhifang and their children
First, it is necessary to marry Fu Zhifang according to the rules of the two rooms, and after entering the door, he will have the same name as his wife Wang Minghua.
Second, after marriage, she will follow Fu Zhifang to live in the Mei family, and Mei Lanfang will send her to the end of her pension.
Fu Zhifang is the only seedling in the family, after entering the Mei family, the mother is indeed lonely and bitter, at this time the Mei family is not short of a person's food and clothing, the second condition will naturally be answered.
But this first condition is really harsh, a husband can not have a second wife, remarrying as a concubine, the Mei family does not matter, can Wang Minghua agree?
However, for the sake of Mei Lanfang and the Mei family, Wang Minghua agreed.
She is not a virgin, and she has complaints, but she can only swallow all the grievances into her stomach and make all the preparations for her husband to marry a new person.
Fu Zhifang and her children
People say that Mei Lanfang is ruthless, but it is said that he spent the night in the cave room, still worried about his wife, afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, first went to her, took hands and said a lot of words, and then went to the bride.
In the second year of Fu Zhifang's arrival at the Mei family, as everyone wished, she gave birth to a son for the Mei family, and the new man added a man, and the Mei family was full of joy, and only Wang Minghua kept the empty house alone.
At first, the marriage conditions proposed by Fumu made people think that Fumu was a harsh person, but when Fuzhifang's first child was born, she let Fuzhifang hug Wang Minghua to comfort her pain of losing her son.
However, Wang Minghua did not accept it, she personally sewed a hat for the child, on the day of the full moon, after putting it on the child, she let the nursing mother carry it back to Fu Zhifang.
She herself was once a mother of two children, and the child was the mother's life, which she felt very deeply, and taking away Fu Zhifang's child was unfair to a mother.
Perhaps it is this one thing, Wang Minghua knows that Fu Zhifang is kind, and Fu Zhifang's generosity to Wang Minghua is also remembered.
Meng Xiaodong
I thought that the pain of the past would gradually fade with time, but the loss of the child hit Wang Minghua too hard, and it was not a moment, and the root of the disease that fell at that time became a serious illness a few years later.
After Fu Zhifang entered the door, Wang Minghua's body has been very weak, and a tuberculosis a few years later directly took her life.
Married as a teenager, she took care of everything for him, but watched him marry someone else and have children with others.
She passed away, he remembered that He yu yu played Chang'e, but now he can only cry Minghua in an empty room.
His thousand kinds of sorrow, the new people have long been wiped out, there is Fu Zhifang, and Meng Xiaodong, old love and new joy, never stop.
But her remorse and pain will only become more and more profound with the passage of time, until she enters the earth, Fang An.
The tomb of Mei Lanfang of Wanhua Mountain
He bought Wanhua Mountain, selected a cemetery for her, and let his 3-year-old son play a "soul banner" for her in the arms of the housekeeper.
The rest of his life is infinitely desolate, and when he dies, there is no worry, and there is no regret.
For her, it may be a relief for her to make her own wedding dress for others, but she has not been able to see their children and grandchildren full of halls.
When I was sterilized, I was obstinate and wrong, but fortunately, marrying Fu Zhifang was the right step.
Doing something wrong allowed her to live in regret for the rest of her life, but the accumulated virtue gave her a good home.
Fortunately, that person was Fu Zhifang, who was lonely in the years before her death but was still respected; fortunately, with Fu Zhifang, she was able to share a hole with Mei Lanfang.
