She is the most popular female writer in Chinese history, married twice in her life and twice suspended, and has been related to more than 3,000 men.
She wrote her love story into a diary and published it, and at the age of 28 she saw through the red dust and committed suicide by jumping into the sea.
This person is the famous Yu Meiyan in the Republic of China period.
What has happened to her in her life?
Hello everyone, I am Xiao Zhao, take you to know more wonderful, like you pay attention to this number.
Born in 1900 in a merchant family in Taishan, Guangdong Province, Yu Meiyan was gifted and beautiful from an early age.
Under the influence of her mother, she also learned Mandarin and English, so compared with other girls in that era, Yu Meiyan's thinking can be said to be more open and advanced.
At the age of 18, under the control of her parents, she married a businessman surnamed Tan.
Originally, the two newlyweds Yan Er was sweet and sweet, who knew that the good times were not long, and the Tan family's economy was in trouble, so the husband went to the United States to run a business.
Yu Meiyan was young and alone in an empty house, coupled with the difficulties of her in-laws, so she ran away from home and went to Guangzhou in a huff.
Yu Meiyan did not expect that this time, her life would be completely subverted.
The day before she arrived in Guangzhou, Cheng Biguang, the commander-in-chief of the Guangzhou Navy, was stabbed to death, and police officers searched the city for suspicious people.
So when they saw Yu Meiyan, who was dressed as an avant-garde on the first day of arriving in Guangzhou, they felt that this person was not ordinary, so they directly arrested her, fortunately, her uncle was the local county magistrate, which released her on bail.
As soon as this incident came out, the Tan family directly wrote a letter of resignation, and Yu Meiyan's father also felt that her face was lost, and sent her to an art center, which was actually a shelter for labor reform, and never paid any attention to her.
A year later, Yu Meiyan came out of the art school, and at this time she had nothing, so she began to choose to indulge herself.
She went in and out of various places, interacted with people of different classes, danced, drank, and spent the night, and became a strange woman who was heard by word of mouth at that time.
It was in the process that she became acquainted with her second husband, a wealthy businessman surnamed He, and became his second aunt.
But soon the rich merchant was tired of Yu Meiyan's profligacy, and another letter of resignation returned her freedom.
Later, she met a county magistrate's son, and the two fell in love, but because Yu Meiyan's life experience was well known, the two were strongly opposed by the man's family, and even the county magistrate's wife threatened that she would arrest her for misconduct.
Yu Meiyan was already disheartened at this time, and resolutely left Guangzhou and went to the United States.
Perhaps providence, in the United States, she actually met her first husband.
Yu Meiyan wanted to reconcile with the Tan family, but her deeds had already reached the ears of the ex-husband, so the Tan family resolutely refused.
At this time, Yu Meiyan completely gave up hope and returned to Guangzhou again, living a more debauched life.
Gradually, she felt that she was tired of the world, but she could not come to this world in vain, so she began to write a diary every day, recording who she ate with today, who she spent the night with tomorrow, and named the diary "Modern Love Letters".
According to the diary, more than three thousand men had relationships with her.
In 1927, the 27-year-old Yu Meiyan came to the temple and asked for renunciation.
Who knew that the boyfriend of the year, the son of the county magistrate," found her and wanted to renew the frontier with her, but Yu Meiyan knew that the two people were no longer possible, so she rejected him.
But this male brother was not dead hearted, and came to her again and again, and when the nuns of the temple saw this situation, they said that Yu Meiyan still had a dusty fate and drove her out.
In April 1928, Yu Meiyan took a boat to Shanghai, on the way she jumped down, submerged her whole life in the sea, she wrote in her last words: "In the next life, you may be a pure woman and get true freedom." ”
Since then, a legendary woman during the Republic of China period has remained forever at the age of 28.
In that era, there may be many women like Yu Meiyan, unable to break free from the shackles of fate and the status of men's appendages for a lifetime, and the times and the three from the four virtues created their tragedies, until the last moment of life, they will get truly permanent freedom.
