A woman said, "There is no joy in life, leave this filthy world, and return my pure nature." I don't know who recorded what she said, but after hearing this lady's words, she jumped into the embrace of the sea, and since then she has been chasing the wind and waves and sleeping at the bottom of the sea, as if she really escaped the filthy world in her mouth.
Cha Haisheng committed suicide by lying on the rails, leaving "Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms" to tell him the life he yearned for; The woman committed suicide by throwing herself into the sea, leaving behind a "Modern Love Letter" to prove that she had been into this world. We always say that we should not persuade others to be kind without suffering others, and if we do it all over again, we hope that they can all be truly free.
Miss Yu, author of "Modern Love Letters", the prototype of the old Shanghai silent movie "Odd Woman". Willow leaf eyebrows goose egg face, slender eyelids like peach blossoms, raised eyes seem to have sparkling, the corners of the mouth slightly raised, the lips are red, obviously did not say anything, but as if hearing her seems to have a thousand words, want to say and stop.
What a stunning look this is, an increase of one point is too long, a decrease of one point is too short, everything is just right. Slim waist and narrow chest, and the figure in the silk satin is beautiful, I am afraid that it will be unforgettable at a glance, but Ma Zhiyuan said that since ancient times, the red face is very thin.
Miss Yu was born in the 26th year of Guangxu, the year of the Gengzi rat in 1900, coinciding with the end of an old social system and the birth of a new order. At that time, the call for democracy and freedom gushed out in the streets and alleys, and various forces, cultures, and systems kept colliding and competing, and Miss Yu ended her life in the 17th year of the Republic of China in 1928 on the way to Shanghai in these disturbing conflicts, only 28 years old.
Twenty-eight years old, are not old, the charm remains, what has happened to make a person choose death at a flourishing age?
Ms. Yu is nicknamed Mengtian. Mengtian Yuan is the name of a poem by the romantic poet Li He in the Tang Dynasty, in which he wrote that "under the three mountains of yellow dust and clear water, it has changed like a horse for thousands of years", and the style is changing and strange, revealing the vicissitudes and shortness of life, and the impermanence of the world. I don't know if Miss Yu chose this as her alias to express her feelings.
Maybe we're the truth. Miss Yu, who was able to write "Modern Love Letters" in the early Republic of China, is not a person who will be bound by dogmatic ideas. Chasing romantic freedom all her life, every time she thinks it is complete, fate seems to be joking with her, and this promising world cannot accommodate her existence, and it will eventually float away.
People of the same time as Yu Mengtian, some people scolded her for not knowing how to behave, some people said that she was bohemian, and some people evaluated her as the queen of merrymaking... Until the "Declaration" received the news of Miss Yu's death at sea, an article called "To Compatriots in the Women's World" was published, which was actually Miss Yu's last words, and all voices stopped abruptly.
Throughout the text, there is a sentence "Yan has suffered from society, and although her sins are self-inflicted, they are also caused by society", which reads like a confession of guilt, but in fact accuses the general environment of the injustice to her, and Miss Yu single-handedly confronts the world before her death again after her death.
Her cry can be roughly translated as: Although I have made mistakes, I admit it, but I am only living in this cannibalistic society. You all advocate freedom and equality, but none of you explain what true freedom is. I practiced self-perceived liberal democracy in my own life, but I found that this land did not tolerate my presumptuousness, but it was too late to look back and sin was unforgivable. Although I am unruly, but this society is not a good time, I would like to die to warn future generations not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
The whole text is beautiful, and you can feel that although Miss Yu passed away, she did not regret what she did, and still maintained a heart for good, advising future generations to learn from it.
Later, a famous professor, Mr. Zhang Jingsheng, left a message saying that Yu Meiyan is a wonderful person.
Ms. Yu came from a famous family and received traditional cultural education since childhood, while learning Western culture and learning people. The rich living conditions allow her not to worry about food and clothing, and in the influence of Eastern and Western cultures, she pursues higher spiritual satisfaction.
During the rainy season when Miss Yu was seventeen years old, she met her handsome and dashing first love "Nine Shao", and the fiery heat of love was vividly interpreted by two free-spirited young people. Unfortunately, after the swimming photos of Miss Yu and Jiu Shao Beach dating appeared in the newspapers, the relationship between the two was terminated by Yu's father by corrupting the court and insulting Sven.
Father Yu, who came from feudal society, thought that his daughters did not have a little bit of famous and beautiful manners, and if they continued, they might cause more trouble. In line with her parents' orders and matchmakers' words, Yu's father betrothed her, hoping that she would calm down after she became a family.
Miss Yu does not think that there is anything wrong, freedom of love, freedom of dressing, freedom of expression, the world cannot understand and accept, it is not her problem. But her father's life was difficult, and Miss Yu, who had not yet come out of the breakup and hurt, hurriedly married under the arrangement of her parents.
Fortunately, after giving her a slap, life gave her another candy. The one who married Miss Yu was Tan Xiangzu, the young master of the Tan family. The Tan family is also a family of wealthy merchants and the Yu family, and Tan Gongzi is mainly responsible for Tan's overseas business and often deals with foreigners. Influenced by Western concepts, Tan Gongzi is open-minded and a young man with knowledge and pursuit.
After Miss Yu married the young master of the Tan family, she gradually learned that Mr. Tan was not only good-looking, but also a funny and humorous person, and the two could often chat together. And Tan Xiangzu behaves as a gentleman, romantic, and the relationship between the little couple gradually warms up, you and I non, there is love.
How romantic and beautiful everything looks. Unfortunately, when Miss Yu was 20 years old, her husband had to leave her to go to the ocean to take on the mission of saving the family. Mrs. Tan Shao expressed great understanding for her husband in a foreign country and his last resort, and the warmth of the two in the past accompanied her in countless days and nights of longing for the return of the king.
If it is modern, there are very few couples who can persist in a long-term cross-border separation, not to mention the inconvenience of transportation and communication, and Miss Yu, who still lives in the Republic of China with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. "How to get along with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law" has always been a world problem.
The in-laws' family deliberately made things difficult, and the lover who was in her heart was not around, and Miss Yu lived a depressed life every day. In the depression and distress, how to comfort the newlywed lady, Miss Yu, who had been depressed for too long, decided to go south to Guangzhou to relax.
Fate's trick on her opened again, and she had just stepped into the Guangzhou realm, and because of her amazing appearance and trendy dress, Miss Yu was mistaken for a suspect and was imprisoned. Fortunately, the Yu family's relatives in Guangzhou still had some connections and rescued Yu Meiyan, but since then some rumors about her have also spread.
In the recently released movie "Keep You Safe", Wei Ruyi has a line - "When you say that a woman is sitting Miss X, whether she is or not, she is already there." When the rumors about Yu Meiyan from the outside world reached the Tan Yu family, Yu's father and the Tan family were so angry that they broke off contact with her.
But what is the truth of the matter, ninety-five years have passed since Miss Yu's death, whether she is really not a serious person, and cuckolding her husband is impossible to consider. But the pain of being abandoned by her loved ones and sent by her father to a training center for female prisoners without even giving her a chance to discern is unknown.
Long hatred is not as good as water, waiting for waves to rise idlely. The husband's family does not let in, the mother's family cannot go back, Miss Yu is like a duckweed with broken roots, losing the origin of life, where is the vast sea of people home? Mourning is greater than heart death, is there really no place for her in this world? Perhaps after being released from prison, Miss Yu thought to herself, since none of you accept me, why not sit on this name.
Don't you want to be faceless and talk about the door, I want to be the person of the wind and the moon, swaggering. The world scolds me for being morally corrupt, so why don't I do what you dare not do. Since then, there has been an additional courtesan in the willow of Fireworks Alley, and most of the stories of "Modern Love Letters" also take place here.
With her beautiful face and avant-garde hot dress, Miss Yu quickly won the favor of many men. She sings, she dances, she moves between different men, and people flock to her. Some people sent her flowers, some asked her to go to the blue, some wrote love poems to pursue her, and some threw a lot of money for her.
The lights are red and green, and Yu Meiyan was once again pushed to another relationship by the wheel of fate.
The object this time is a middle-aged Hong Kong businessman surnamed He, in the eyes of this true love, Yu Meiyan is a young lady who was misunderstood and abandoned by the family, with both beauty and wisdom, independent and bold personality, and other people are simply vulgar fans compared to her.
Boss He lingered in the major dance halls all night, and wherever Miss Yu was, he followed wherever he went, and even did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to cover it, not caring about her past, saddling her before and after, only for the Pomeranian smile, and promised to take good care of her in this life. Yu Meiyan's meticulous care and sincerity of Boss Xu moved Yu Meiyan, and she promised to quit the song and dance industry to be Mr. He's second aunt.
Miss Yu thought she had found happiness again, but unfortunately, this happiness was too short-lived. After all, Miss Yu was born into a wealthy family, and she was generous in her daily life. Some newspapers have reported that her clothes are noble products of fine texture and extremely fine workmanship.
After getting along with Yu Meiyan, the boss felt that she was too extravagant and wasteful, and squandered and almost hollowed out his family property, and soon broke with her in shame, and Yu Meiyan was abandoned again. Boss He's second aunt has become a regular customer of the dance hall again.
If it continues like this, maybe there is nothing bad about Yu Meiyan. At that time, she had lost hope in love, but there were still many people who fell under her culottes, begging to have a spring breeze with her. She can choose what she likes from these suitors, and take it away for a good night when she can't see it, and she doesn't care if she has money.
Yu Meiyan seems to think that men are just like this, why care about the blips. Simply be more willful, please yourself, how to be happy, how to come. Talk to this man today, rejoice with that man tomorrow. You scold and scold, and what to do with Qing.
Unfortunately, the heavens seem to test whether Yu Meiyan is really slumped, to see if she still has the ability to love, and arranged a second generation of officials for Yu Meiyan, this time is also Yu Meiyan's last sincere contribution to love. Miss Yu, who went in and out of the dance hall liquor store, accidentally met the sister-in-law of the Nanhai County official, and this young master of Nanhai County fell in love with Yu Meiyan at first sight, pursued her with all his might, and vowed to spend his life with her.
Yu Meiyan initially thought that this little prince, like other men, was a frivolous person. But the good girl was afraid of entanglement, and could not stand this little young master's extraordinary appearance, and he showed his love to Miss Yu in public many times, and said that he would avoid the chaos of this world with her, and take her to a place where there were only the two of them.
Hearing this, Yu Meiyan's long-silent heart suddenly exploded. No one had ever mentioned to her that they would take her out of here and go to a paradise, love her and care for her, so that she would no longer have to face all kinds of slander, which was too touching for Miss Yu.
Moved, Yu Meiyan agreed to his pursuit and agreed with him that if he could successfully try to get married, they would be together for a long time.
The two rushed to the country villa, avoided the crowd, and lived a life without shame. This Yu Meiyan completely sunk, it turns out that love is really so free and romantic, no one bothered, every day when I wake up and see someone who is happy with each other, really happy and free, I want to be with him for a long time.
In addition to sweetness, Yu Meiyan is also afraid of the relationship as before, after all, the lover is from the family of the eunuch, worried that she will not be accepted by the man, and she will be broken up when the time comes. But her lover is her weakness, and she decided to defend her feelings desperately for the sake of love Yu Meiyan.
Afraid of what comes, the man's family knows that the object of his baby's son's relationship is actually a famous courtesan, which is very bad. Hurriedly put her son under house arrest, and coerced Yu Meiyan to ask her to leave. The county magistrate's wife even designed to let Yu Meiyan take money to see people, force her to return to her old business, and then expel her for prostitution.
Yu Meiyan, who was forced to break up again, was very sad. She almost lost the courage to live. Desperate, she simply cut her hair into a nun, retreated into the empty door, and accompanied by the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha, but in this life.
Fate refused to let her go, and the little prince who escaped from home found her and wanted to repair her old one, and the former suitors ran to the temple to surround her. Buddhism is a quiet place, and now because a woman who has just become a monk has been made into a miasma, in a fit of anger, Yu Meiyan has been thrown out again.
Yu Meiyan couldn't help but ask herself, what did she do wrong? She is just pursuing love, pursuing freedom and equality, pursuing romance, why this society has driven her into desperate situations again and again. Is the world where men have the final say?
This group of men is nothing more than her graceful body, and they are all the same after taking off their shells. In that case, let everyone see what you men look like. Later, there was the self-narrative "Modern Love Letters", which tells the private life between Miss Yu and different men. Soon after, Yu Meiyan, who received successive blows in the love scene, said goodbye to the world.
When the manuscript first appeared, it caused an uproar. The fragrant scenery mentioned in the book is simply against the world, where a woman writes about a man's love life, or she has personally experienced more than 3,000 people, which is too shocking.
However, after learning about Yu Meiyan's life, some people say that life is not easy in chaotic times, and how brave it is to be able to pursue equality, freedom and love here. Later generations commented that she was the queen of affection, and some people said that she was unrestrained, or in modern terms, Yu Meiyan properly interpreted what her life does not need to be defined by others. If there is an afterlife, I hope Miss Yu will get her wish.
