Yuan Shikai, the most famous military leader in Modern Chinese History, a person who was born extraordinary, of course, his heirs are also destined to be extraordinary, as Yuan Shikai's second son Yuan Kewen, although his participation in military work is rare, but the achievements he has achieved seem to be incomparable to Yuan Shikai.
Yuan Kewen, born in 1980, as the son of the most famous military leader, did not have a son to inherit his father's business and regularly participated in state activities. Not only that, Yuan Kewen was even familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and liked poetry and songs. Perhaps it is the reason why he is out of the rich and has the light to make friends in the world, even though Yuan Kewen only has 20 yuan on his body after his death, his funeral is very beautiful.
First, born into a rich family
Yuan Shikai overthrew the rule of the late Qing Dynasty and served as the provisional president of the Republic of China. Although he only served as the leader of the Great China For 83 days, he had to admit that Yuan Shikai's ability was exceptional, although the evaluation of Yuan Shikai by later generations was mixed, and he was even called a thief of the country. Nevertheless, it was also a generation of giants at that time.
As the second child of Yuan Shikai's family, he was naturally born a tycoon, with a golden key. From an early age, he learned various literary knowledge and painted calligraphy. Yuan Kewen not only excelled in his studies, but also never lacked money due to family reasons. Therefore, Yuan Kewen also developed a love of books and antiques, and even paid a lot of money to buy ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, coins, etc.
It is also born in such a family, money is not as valuable as a book for such a man, and even in the process of playing in Shanghai in 1981, only 600,000 pieces of ocean were spent, you know, in that era, 1 ocean was enough for a person to live for half a month or even a month, 600,000 was a rather terrible number at that time.
Not only that, Yuan Kewen even spent hundreds of thousands of oceans to enter and exit the land of fireworks and willow lanes many times to buy a large number of antiques and cultural relics. It seems that for Yuan Kewen, born in a rich family, money is not important, but for his father, he is indeed an intolerable loser, and even once said to Xu Shichang that he would break Yuan Kewen's legs.
Perhaps from childhood did not like to fight fiercely, during the period when Yuan Shikai wanted to become emperor, Yuan Kewen was strongly opposed, and at the same time, because of the reason of being born into a rich family, his life was debauched, and his wives and concubines were numerous, and it was precisely because of this that his father was furious and had to flee to Shanghai, and it was in Shanghai that he had the title of the leader of the Qing Gang!
Second, the talent is outstanding
As one of the four princes of the Republic of China at that time. Perhaps yuan Kewen's ideological concepts could not be integrated with the social environment of the times at that time, and he had long been in his distinct and unique style of doing things, or perhaps he had been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child and practiced calligraphy and painting. For ancient books, he is even more fond of them, especially the "Lanting Collection", for which Yuan Kewen even collected a lot of stone tablets of the Lanting Collection.
According to legend, Yuan Kewen was also a famous talent at that time, since childhood and his intelligence was outstanding, he could read a hundred words at the age of six, he could read history books at the age of seven, he could compose and compose compositions at the age of ten, and he could write articles and write articles at the age of ten.
Yuan Kewen's unforgettable skills have been widely circulated, perhaps exaggerated, but if he has no skills in himself, how to exaggerate cannot be passed down for many years. Although he did not put all his experiences on learning to read at an early age, he was quite good at writing poems, filling in words, and writing articles. Not only that, Yuan Kewen's words are also quite elegant.
Perhaps his father saw Yuan Kewen's talent, and therefore favored him, and did not punish him if he was not great. Yuan Kewen not only learned Kunqu opera in his childhood, but even learned Kunqu opera in his youth, and he loved Kunqu opera, singing Kunqu opera, Xiaosheng, Clown and his masters, and had "The Hall of Eternal Life" and "Dream in the Garden" and other good plays.
Born into a generation of tycoons, even though life is unrestrained, the life of wine and meat is extremely luxurious. But its intellectual talent is rarely compared, and even after drinking, the words written are even more galloping and arrogant, and at that time it was even praised for having the wind of Su Dongpo, and a word was even bought by 1,000 oceans, which also has to be said that its literary style is really outstanding.
Third, excessive extravagance has harmed oneself
Because of his birth in a rich family, coupled with outstanding literary talent, his father and mother spoiled him, especially Yuan Kewen's mother, who can even be said to be obedient to Yuan Kewen, no matter what he did, his mother never lost his temper with him, nor did he have a scolding phenomenon, although Yuan Kewen's excessive extravagant life was not pleasing, but as his mother, he never educated.
Because of the habits of the family elders, Yuan Kewen did nothing evil during his youth, and even created Yuan Kewen to cause Yuan Kewen's profligate, willful, and extravagant 0 personality, eating, drinking, prostituting 、, 、 smoking and other bad things, and even spent a lot of money to join the famous evil gang at that time, the Green Gang, and became the small leader of the Green Gang.
Not only that, at that time, Yuan Kewen even married 6 wives, in addition to the original wife Liu Meizhen, Qing Yunlou, Xiao Taohong, Tang Zhijun, Yu Peiwen, Ya Xian six famous and shareable wives, and the mistresses who had no name or "once spring wind" were even more, according to insiders, there were as many as seventy or eighty.
It is also the pampering of the elders and fathers when they were young, after the death of their father, they were even more unrestrained, and they even became ticket friends, and the ticket friends were spending money to set up a stage performance, and each one had to spend thousands of oceans, and it was precisely like this that the hundreds of thousands of oceans left by his father to Yuan Kewen were squandered by Yuan Kewen in a few years.
At that time, the ticket holders were called dramas, and it was humiliating to do dramas in that era, so his brother Yuan Keding contacted the capital to arrest him. However, the leaders from the capital city believed that this was a family affair of the Yuan family, and it was inconvenient for them to participate, so they informed Yuan Kewen of this matter. Therefore, Yuan Kewen performed the last performance the following day.
It was also Yuan Kewen's excessive extravagance that led to the end of only relying on selling paintings and selling words to make a living, so yuan Kewen died in Tianjin at the age of 42. Because of Yuan Kewen's extravagant life, the family was penniless, and he only had 20 yuan on his body before he died. Yuan Kewen's seemingly beautiful funeral was also helped by others.
summary
There is nothing wrong with doing what you like, whether it is after being a tycoon or an ordinary person, but you can't live an endless life of luxury, after all, no matter what status you should not live only for yourself, but also consider your family and your future, although there are many people who come to see him off when Yuan Kewen died, but his family's life may not be good.
But to be able to live your own life without fear is also brave, even if your own statement is not good after many years, but in not causing trouble to others, bullying others at the same time, do something that you like, at least before leaving, there is no regret, so it is important and courageous to live for yourself for the sake of the family.
