In 1933, Du Yuesheng made a phone call directly to the master Mei Lanfang: "Mei Lanfang, get me 40,000 oceans!" ”
Mei Lanfang responded with a confused look: "Boss Du, are you here to be funny?" How can I have so much money! ”
Du Yuesheng suddenly smiled: "Then I'll lend it to you?" ”
Mei Lanfang felt bad for a moment after listening to it, quickly hung up the phone, and began to sell houses and land...

Du Yuesheng
In other words, Du Yuesheng is not like a gangster boss at all, but like a literati. Wearing a long robe and holding a small fan, a learned scholar. Moreover, he also had a close relationship with Zhang Taiyan, a master of traditional Chinese studies during the Republic of China.
Du Yuesheng's influence has become greater and greater, and his reputation is obviously getting higher and higher among the three tycoons of the Qinggang, and the two Huang Jin Rong and Zhang Xiaolin next to him can only be passers-by. His means are also "cruel", it can be said that he stomped his foot, and the whole beach trembled.
Zhang Xiaolin
In addition, his industry can be described as "all-encompassing", and the political and business circles play flying and smooth. He is not as "cunning" as Huang Jinrong, and Zhang Xiaolin is even more flesh, which is very compatible with the image of the "fight and kill" green gang. And Du Yuesheng is like an elegant "literati".
02 The big guy stands out for the woman
Meng Xiaodong and Mei Lanfang
One day in 1933:
Du Yuesheng called Mei Lanfang on a whim: "Mei Lanfang, bring me 40,000 oceans!" ”
Mei Lanfang responded with a confused look: "Boss Du, are you here to be funny?" How can I have so much money! ”
Du Yuesheng smiled mischievously: "Then I will lend it to you?" ”
Mei Lanfang felt bad for a moment after listening to it, quickly hung up the phone, and began to sell houses and land...
To tell the truth, Meng Xiaodong, the drama, when she was singing in Shanghai, Du Yuesheng began to pursue her. And Meng Xiaodong's smooth journey in Beiping was also because Du Yuesheng secretly made a lot of effort. Forty thousand oceans, which was an astronomical amount at that time, was higher than Mr. Jiang's monthly income of 800 yuan, so much that he didn't know which galaxy to go to. With so much money, Mei Lanfang could only bite the bullet, sell the family's old mansion, and then sell a large wave of antiques in her collection at a low price, so that she could easily scrape together 40,000 and hand it over to Du Yuesheng.
Du Yuesheng waved his hand after taking the money and said, "Okay, there will be nothing for you in the future." ”
After Mei Lanfang heard this, she was relieved in her heart, but she was also a little helpless. He felt the meaning in Du Yuesheng's words.
Unexpectedly, Meng Xiaodong's marriage experienced twists and turns, and Du Yuesheng rushed out again to become Meng Xiaodong's "knight", helping her quickly resolve divorce disputes, breaking off Mei Lanfang, and then bringing Meng Xiaodong back to Shanghai. After Meng Xiaodong divorced Mei Lanfang, he was once sad and even wanted to become a nun. After six years of recuperation, the "famous actor" finally returned to the stage.
03 Master Mei and his three-room wife
Mei Lanfang
In the old society, male gods became scumbags with one click, and three wives and four concubines were not a problem. Mei Lanfang is not exempt from vulgarity. Before Meng Xiaodong was together, he already had Dafang Wang Minghua and his second wife Fu Zhifang.
Before Meng Xiaodong agreed to marry Mei Lanfang, she was also a woman with feelings, and she was full of delusions about a white head and an old man in a couple. Mei Lanfang, the old driver, finally drove his wife Wang Minghua around several corners, saying that he was not in good health, and when Meng Xiaodong entered the door, he would be able to transform into the master of the main palace, dominate the rivers and lakes, and pass on the lineage.
After the second lady Fuzhifang found out, of course, she strongly opposed it, but Mei Lanfang couldn't listen to it.
Mei Lanfang
In 1927, Mei Lanfang and Meng Xiaodong held a grand wedding ceremony, and for the sake of harmony in the backyard after marriage, Mei Lanfang implemented the strategy of "combining two rooms", allowing Meng Xiaodong to live a "nominal main house life".
Originally, this was a good life, but then there were unexpected storms, Mei Lanfang's mother died of illness, and it stands to reason that Meng Xiaodong's daughter-in-law should go to worship. But the accident came, and no one told Meng Xiaodong, how can this be said in the past.
Meng Xiaodong felt sorry for Mei Lanfang's loss of a loved one, understood that he was as busy as a dog, and comforted himself: "Maybe I was too tired to tell me." ”
So Meng Xiaodong hurriedly went to the Mei family's old mansion to keep filial piety for his mother-in-law. However, the second lady of Fuzhifang obstructed: "You little one raised outside, don't think about entering the gate of the Mei family!" ”
When Meng Xiaodong insisted on entering the door, Fu Zhifang held scissors against her stomach that was pregnant in June,
He said imposingly: "If you dare to enter the door, I will use the child in my belly to fight with you!" ”
Mei Lanfang
When Meng Xiaodong was in trouble, Mei Lanfang arrived. As if seeing a savior, Meng Xiaodong suddenly threw himself into Mei Lanfang's arms and cried aggrievedly. Looking up at Mei Lanfang, I wanted him to help speak.
It's just that Meng Xiaodong never expected that what she was waiting for was Mei Lanfang's cold sentence: "You go back first!" Meng Xiaodong looked at Mei Lanfang dumbfounded, but this former male god turned his head to avoid her gaze.
Meng Xiaodong suddenly realized at this time, it turned out that she had been deceived, and this man was not worthy of her love at all. Although she is not a concubine, she has now been reduced to the point where she cannot enter the gate.
Meng Xiaodong returned home angrily and burst into tears. Mei Lanfang was busy with the matter at hand and wanted to save Meng Xiaodong, but she refused to meet.
The last straw for the breakdown of their relationship was a farcical shooting.
Li Zhigang, this crazy groupie, after learning that the goddess in his heart was married to Mei Lanfang, his heart was like a knife, and on impulse, he ran to Yuxuan with a pistol to challenge Mei Lanfang. Finally, in the chaos, Li Zhigang killed the mediator Zhang Hanju, and he was also killed by the military and police, which is embarrassing.
This incident made the relationship between Mei Lanfang and Meng Xiaodong even worse. Whenever Meng Xiaodong asked Mei Lanfang for a name, but the harvest was coldly answered. After all, the relationship could not withstand the ravages of time and indifference, and in the end, Meng Xiaodong was completely disappointed in Mei Lanfang, and the relationship between the two came to an end.
When Meng Xiaodong was helpless, a gangster Du Yuesheng. He decided to stand up and give Meng Xiaodong justice, firstly because he was also Meng Xiaodong's iron fan, and secondly, because he really liked Meng Xiaodong.
04 The Last Hours
Du Yuesheng family portrait
In 1933, Meng Xiaodong, under Du Yuesheng's personal control, published a revelation in the newspaper about severing relations with Mei Lanfang. That revelation can be described as a wave after wave of black Mei Lanfang, accusing him of never fulfilling his original promise, and he has not given Meng Xiaodong a name for many years.
Then, Du Yuesheng began to "collect debts" for Meng Xiaodong. He sent someone to investigate Mei Lanfang's family background, and then came forward to get a considerable breakup fee for Meng Xiaodong.
Under Du Yuesheng's careful care, Meng Xiaodong gradually improved and regained his confidence in life. Until 1949, Hong Kong ushered in two old people with a rough life - Meng Xiaodong and Du Yuesheng
However, in 1950, I don't know whether it was because of water and soil disobedience or Du Yuesheng thinking about the destiny of heaven, his asthma suddenly worsened and his life was in danger. But even in the face of life and death, Du Yuesheng has not forgotten her original promise to Meng Xiaodong: an extremely grand and romantic wedding that she will never forget.
So, Du Yuesheng dragged his weak body and gave Meng Xiaodong an ultra-luxurious wedding. The children of the Du family affectionately call Meng Xiaodong "Mommy". Meng Xiaodong finally realized her dream and spent the happiest time of her life with Du Yuesheng.
This year, Du Yuesheng was 63 years old and Meng Xiaodong was 53 years old.
