Speaking of Shanghai Beach during the Republic of China, there is a character who cannot be bypassed: Du Yuesheng.
First, Shanghai Beach legend Du Yuesheng
Du Yuesheng was born in August 1888 in the suburbs of Shanghai and died in Hong Kong in August 1951.
Born poor, he bought fruit, worked as an apprentice, worked as a gangster.
However, it is such an old Shanghai low-level figure without any background.
He is based on his iron courage, full of calculation, and mastery of worldliness and human feelings.
In the end, he counterattacked as a legend of the old Shanghai generation.
Become a wealth tycoon involved in entertainment, culture, education, finance, and journalism.
He is the most striking figure in the Shanghai underworld, known as the "Emperor of Shanghai" and "the first person in the Three Hundred Years Gang".
His life is full of wonderful legends, his career is between black and white, and his story is still talked about today!
Du Yuesheng, this legendary tycoon, is most respected by later generations, but his way of dealing with the world.
He once famously said: First-class people, have skills, have no temper; second-class people, with skills and temper; The last people, no ability, big temper!
Throughout his life, he has pursued the principle of "not saving money, saving friendship", loving and charity, and sending carbon in the snow.
Therefore, there are many contacts, extensive travel, and a network of contacts in both political and business circles, black and white!
For friends, Du Yuesheng frankly said, I Du Yuesheng is worthy of every friend!
For women, Du Yuesheng can be called a veteran of the love scene, and she has indulged in sex all her life.
But it is also a heavy relationship, and there are five wives in his life, each of whom is married to the media.
In the end, a strange woman like the "Winter Emperor" Meng Xiaodong was impressed by him and married the fifth wife.
However, Du Yuesheng said in his later years: I am the only one who has a negative person in my life.
For this reason, he was extremely sad and guilty.
Second, the marriage of Du Yuesheng and his original wife Shen Yueying
This person is Du Yuesheng's original wife Shen Yueying.
It was also with his first wife, who shared his troubles, but was not able to share his wealth.
Shen Yueying was a native of Zhanghua Village, Henan, Yechangjing, Wu County, Jiangsu (present-day Suzhou), and was nicknamed Xiaomei.
Although Shen Yueying was Du Yuesheng's first wife, she did not give birth in her life and only adopted one son, Du Weifan.
In 1902, "Fruit Yuesheng", who was only 14 years old, entered the Golden Rong Mansion through Chen Shichang's introduction and entered the door of Huang Datyong.
At that time, Huang Jinrong was still a Chinese police detective in the French Concession, relying on the business acumen of his wife Lin Guisheng to make a mark and become a "big man" in black and white.
Therefore, Huang Jinrong has always respected his wife Lin Guisheng.
And Du Yuesheng, who entered the Huang Mansion, relied on his ability to detect words and colors, as well as his eight-faced personality, and soon attracted the attention of Lin Guisheng and stayed by his side as a follower.
In the process of being Lin Guisheng's little follower, Du Yuesheng gradually realized the energy and courage of this senior lady, and also mastered the preferences and dispositions of the senior lady.
Therefore, while working hard and doing things for her, he threw himself into what he liked and was faithful.
Slowly, Du Yuesheng was appreciated by Lin Guisheng and recommended it to Jin Rong, thinking that he could take on a big role.
Since then, Du Yuesheng's counterattack life has begun.
Lin Guisheng's kindness to Du Yuesheng is not only a career recommendation, but also a strong help in his personal life.
For Du Yuesheng, a proud protégé, Lin Guisheng took it very seriously.
Seeing that Du Yuesheng has reached the age of marriage, but he is still alone.
Therefore, the master lady Lin Guisheng took the initiative to take action and acted as a matchmaker to introduce Shen Yueying, the daughter of the girl who combed her hair, to Du Yuesheng.
Although Shen Yueying is not the daughter of a wealthy family, she has been very beautiful since she was a child.
After marriage, the husband and wife loved each other for a long time.
Later, due to Du Yuesheng's rising career and busy work, he often did not go home, and gradually snubbed Shen Yueying.
Shen Yueying was also infected with opium at this time, and Du Yuesheng gradually lost interest when she saw Shen Yueying, who was increasingly weak, boring and addicted to smoking.
With the continuous improvement of Du Yuesheng's status in the Qing Gang, many young and beautiful women have also entered his life.
He also gradually changed from a young boy to a veteran hunter in the Wind and Moon Field.
Third, the wife of the empty lady Hongxing came out of the wall
Du Yuesheng often said that his career and status were broken out by "two hands and one body".
Therefore, he is well versed in the underworld, and he has always acted resolutely.
After the rapid rise of his career, he was proud of his feelings, and his aunts married into the door one by one.
The second wife who was friends in the dance hall, Chen Weiying, gave birth to three sons for Du Yuesheng after entering the door.
The third wife, Sun Peihao, also gave birth to two sons after entering the door.
The fourth wife, Yao Yulan, gave birth to two sons and two daughters.
The fifth wife is Meng Xiaodong, known as the "Winter Emperor of Peking Opera", and has been accompanying Du Yuesheng in her later years.
With the increase of women and children in the family, the original partner Shen Yueying has completely become an empty complaining woman.
Opium smoke brought her no change except temporary stimulation and infinite emptiness.
Faced with the love for himself in every way before the trace, not only was he happy outside, but he also continued to marry Du Yuesheng, the husband of his aunt's wife, at home.
Shen Yueying had a fight with him more than once, but it never changed in the slightest.
Therefore, Shen Yueying, who couldn't make trouble and couldn't change her husband, had a revenge mentality.
Shen Yueying secretly contacted her cousin, who had been with her childhood sweetheart, and the two soon rekindled their old relationship.
Her actual act of using red apricot out of the wall satisfies her lonely mind and body.
The paper couldn't contain the fire, and soon this matter happened, and it was snitched to Du Yuesheng by the guy who accidentally bumped into it.
Fourth, the thunderous means of the rogue tycoon are terrifying
After learning of this ugly incident, Du Yuesheng, as the boss of the gang, suddenly became angry and furious.
In order to save the man's face, Du Yuesheng, the boss of the Qing Gang, immediately launched a cruel and bloody retaliation action.
In the first step, he immediately arranged for the Qinggang disciples to catch Shen Yueying's cousin as soon as possible, gouged out his eyes on the spot, cut off his limbs, tortured to death, and threw his corpse into the Huangpu River.
The second step was to sell Shen Yueying's maid and driver, who knew that Shen Yueying had an affair with her cousin, but did not report it, the former was sold to the Qinglou as a prostitute, and the latter was driven away blind.
In the third step, for his cheating wife Shen Yueying, Du Yuesheng completely confined her in the old mansion, and was not allowed to see anyone without his consent.
Since then, Du Yuesheng's retaliation has come to an end.
The swiftness of the handling and the ruthlessness of the means made the world fearful.
Shen Yueying, who was imprisoned, has since been dead hearted, completely decadent, and more dependent on opium anesthesia.
Shen Yueying, who was addicted to opium and physically and mentally exhausted, was in the pain of seclusion, and her health was getting worse and worse.
After being grounded for 10 years, he died in 1939 in his old house in Shanghai.
Although Shen Yueying gave Du Yuesheng a green hat, he lost face, a beach tycoon.
But in Du Yuesheng's heart, she is still her eldest wife, and no one can shake this position.
This can be seen from Du Yuesheng's later construction of a bridge for Shen Yueying's hometown, and after the death of Shen Yueying's mother, he built a mausoleum for him.
Fifth, the tycoon is full of guilt for his wife in his later years
In Du Yuesheng's view, a wife is a wife and a family member.
During the Anti-Japanese War, after the Battle of Songhu, Du Yuesheng fled to Hong Kong, and persuaded Shen Yueying to go with him many times before leaving.
But helplessly, she was unwilling to live or die, and Du Yuesheng had to follow her in the end.
Later, Du Yuesheng, who was in Hong Kong, heard the news of the death of his eldest wife Shen Yueying.
My heart was very sad, and many past events of tribulation and common came to my heart, and I suddenly aged a lot.
Because, among Du Yuesheng's five wives, only Shen Yueying, the original match, really followed him through a hard life.
At the beginning of her marriage, Du Yuesheng was just a small minions in the bottom society of Shanghai.
Although he was cast under the golden glory gate, Du Yuesheng, who was kind and generous, often couldn't make ends meet in order to "decorate the façade" outside, resulting in the inability to open the pot at home.
At that time, it was common for the husband and wife to eat mushy and hungry together, but it was the time when their relationship was at their best and it was also the sweetest period of marriage.
