In the southeastern suburbs of Vancouver, Canada, there is a cemetery. The cemetery is surrounded by tall red pines and poplars, and the green meadows stretch out. It is very quiet, except for a few grave sweepers, there is no shadow at all.
In the place where the tombstones are lined, there is a tomb without a stele, nor does it leave the name of the deceased. I don't know who is buried here, and no one is looking for questions. Only occasionally there will be a bouquet or two of flowers, stained with crystal dewdrops, pinning on the thoughts of friends.
A few years later, the tombstone was finally erected and inscribed with the name: Tomb of lady Butterfly.
Butterfly was a famous star and movie queen in China in the 1930s and 1940s. Her films are almost household names, and they are half the sky.
Butterflies are undoubtedly extremely beautiful. She has a pair of phoenix eyes and amorous thin lips, which can make people blush and beat their hearts just by looking at it.
In her life, there are four years that are the most difficult for butterflies to let go. Obviously, he already had a lover, but he was trapped in a cage by Dai Kasa and struggled.
Before meeting Dai Kasa, Butterfly was the most popular female star in Shanghai.
The Republic of China actress Butterfly is a typical classical beauty, "willow leaf eyebrows, Dan phoenix eyes, a pair of iconic dimples." This made her stand out from the crowd of beauties in Shanghai and become a household movie queen.
Butterflies are known as "the first beauty of the Republic of China", and there are naturally scandals around them. Perhaps beauty is also a burden, and the life of a butterfly is always full of helplessness. And a peach-colored news of her and Dai Kasa is still controversial.
Her graceful posture in the cheongsam appeared not only on the TV screen, but also in the dreams of men all over Shanghai.
In the 1930s and 1940s, the mainland film industry entered the stage of development from its inception, during which many shining film stars appeared, such as: Jin Yan, Yuan Muzhi, Zheng Junli, Zhao Dan, Gao Zhanfei, Jin Shan, etc.; There are more actresses, including: Ruan Lingyu, Butterfly, Zhou Xuan, Shu Xiuwen, Wang Renmei and so on. But Ruan Lingyu committed suicide because of "fearsome words"; Butterfly was chosen by fans as the first "movie queen" in the mainland and became famous for a while.
Dai Kasa is also one of butterfly fans.
Although Dai Kasa was extremely obsessed with butterflies, due to the distance between identity and status at that time, the possibility of even seeing butterflies did not exist. Speaking of heads, Dai Kasa at this time can only be a "Hu Butterfly fan". Later, with the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, especially after the Japanese entered Shanghai, Dai Kasa did not have the opportunity to admire butterflies on the screen.
At a dance, Butterfly accepted Pan Yousheng. But just being in love, not mentioning the engagement thing. The torture of retiring from marriage with Lin Xuehuai left too many shadows in her heart. She didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past. Pan Yousheng is very accommodating to butterflies. She can do whatever she wants.
One does not interfere in her circle affairs, and the other does not force her to get engaged. This not far away distance is just right to grasp, and it is also the butterfly's intention. At this time, the butterfly wants a marriage of equality and respect.
The change of fate began with the loss of 30 boxes of jewelry from butterflies!
In order to avoid cooperation with the Japanese, Butterfly took all the savings of the first half of his life into 30 boxes and transported them to the mainland, who knew that the jewelry was lost in the middle of the road, and the butterfly who learned the news fell seriously ill. In order to find the original, he asked a few friends, and one of them introduced her to the head of the secret service, Dai Kasa.
Hearing that Dai Kasa had a way to retrieve the jewelry, the butterfly insisted on interacting with it.
At the grand ball arranged for the Butterfly family to go to Chongqing at the behest of Dai Kasa, and arranged by a friend and couple, Dai Kasa met his "dream lover" for the first time, although he had heard of the beauty of this movie star, but the first time he saw a real person, Dai Kasa still opened his eyes!
The situation was turbulent, and the major factions were intertwined. Trying to retrieve those boxes of things is like finding a needle in a haystack. Even if all the forces under his command were mobilized, in the end they still found nothing.
Dai Kasa has admired butterflies for a long time, and is happy for Bo Meiren, and he does not hesitate to pay for himself to buy back some of the same jewelry, put them in a box, and pretend to find the lost property. Give the butterfly a difference, which will initially win the favor of the butterfly.
In order to get the butterfly, he began to find a way to get rid of Pan Yousheng, it was easy to get rid of him, but if he was not careful, he would lose everything. Thinking about it, he felt that the best way was to turn the tiger away from the mountain and attract Pan Yousheng to somewhere outside Chongqing to make money.
So, in the spring of 1944, Pan Yousheng received the coveted commissioner's letter of appointment and a special permit for the Burma Highway, which the merchants had dreamed of. At this time, he already understood Dai Kasa's real intention of "distributing" him to Kunming, knowing that leaving his wife alone in Chongqing was undoubtedly a sheep into the mouth of the tiger, but looking at the two young children in the family and the mother with white hair and butterflies, and then thinking of Dai Kasa's ruthlessness, he had to tearfully bid farewell to the butterfly and grit his teeth and go out to run.
As soon as Pan Yousheng left, Dai Kasa lived with the butterfly. Since then, Butterfly has been under house arrest in Chongqing for three years.
As soon as Pan Yousheng left, Dai Kasa lived with the butterfly. Since then, Butterfly has been under house arrest in Chongqing for three years.
In order to avoid the interference of others, and in order to make the butterfly forget the past and avoid feelings of guilt for her husband, under the careful arrangement of Dai Kasa, she moved into the Yangjiashan Mansion in Gele Mountain.
In order to please the butterflies, Dai Kasa put everything aside. Butterfly wanted to eat the fruits of the southern country, and he immediately sent a plane to airlift it from India; Butterfly said that the slippers were not used, and he had people get all kinds of shoes with a phone call; Around the Cave of the Immortals, he plans to build a luxury villa with specifications, facilities, and costs far more than other mansions, ready to serve as a secret abode for him and Butterfly in the future.
He believes that in addition to the auspicious place name, the Shenxian Cave also has a quiet environment and beautiful scenery, which is convenient for seclusion. To show his sincerity, Bo Butterfly smiled, and when he repaired the house, he asked the car to go straight to the door without climbing the hill.
To this end, he personally measured the terrain, and wherever the car passed, the residents had to move away, and the houses were demolished. In addition, he also personally designed how to use stones to form the two big characters of "Xi" and "Shou" on the slope, and how to plant various exotic flowers and grasses in the gaps. In order to keep it a secret and to prevent butterflies from contacting the outside world, Dai Kasa specially built a power grid, aqueduct and a fence to isolate the outside world on the outskirts of the villa, and set up a guard post outside.
The psychology of this man Butterfly is complicated, Butterfly is a decent female artist, as a married woman who also lives with other men, she has guilt in her heart, this man named Dai Kasa is even more considerate than her husband, doing everything just for Bo Hongyan to smile. A woman's heart will change, the relationship between her and Pan Yousheng is love, and the thoughtful touch between Dai Kasa is also love.
In 1946, Butterfly returned to Shanghai, where she had missed for eight years, and to her surprise, Dai Ka asked her to marry her, asking Ming Media to marry her. Seemingly to the butterfly moved with affection, Dai Kasa said:
"My greatest wish in this life is to be formally married to you, you are my only one, and nothing else can change my love for you." I really love you, and I can do anything for you. My biggest wish now is to officially marry you. ”
In order to achieve the purpose of marrying Butterfly, Dai Kasa once again arranged for the hidden agents to detain Pan Yousheng, and secretly had people induce him to dissolve the marital relationship with Butterfly so that he could officially marry Butterfly.
The day before the wedding, Dai Kasa was still busy with business. He hoped to get things straightened out as soon as possible, and even though the weather was not very good, he still got on a plane to Nanjing.
In the night of thunder and lightning, the huge plane fell straight down like a bird that had lost its wings. On the wedding day, Butterfly receives news of Dai Kasa's death.
The butterflies cried loudly. Others didn't know why she was crying, whether it was because Dai Kasa, who had taken her, died too happy, or was it too sad to lose her protection?
Butterfly herself didn't know about this question, she just wanted to cry a lot to vent all the emotions in her heart. There is the joy of regaining freedom, there is the pity for Dai Kasa's inexplicable death, and there is the thought of Pan Yousheng.
After the reunion, Pan Yousheng brought the butterflies back to Hong Kong. He founded a foreign firm that specialized in producing "Butterfly Brand" thermoses to express his love for his wife.
Unlike Dai Kasa, Pan Yousheng treats butterflies as individuals. He respects the butterfly and listens to her in everything. Butterfly wants to regain his career, so he ignores the gossip of outsiders and fully supports Butterfly's return to show business.
Butterfly's depressed mood was cured a lot by Pan Yousheng, but such a day lasted only six years. Pan Yousheng died.
In 1975, Butterfly moved to Vancouver, Canada, and changed her name to Pan Baojuan. Baojuan is the breast name given to her by her parents, and the surname Pan expresses her nostalgia for her deceased husband Pan Yousheng.
As a beauty in a troubled world, Butterfly is stubborn, kind and independent, and loves her husband very much. She will soften her body when needed, but she also has her own persistence. Therefore, the butterfly never deceives Dai Kasa, and her love has always belonged to Pan Yousheng.
Dai Kasa was just a story of love for her.
