When it comes to the Qing Dynasty, we can't fail to mention Wang Mintong. She was known as the most beautiful Gege of the Qing Dynasty, but such a gentle and beautiful Gege had a bleak future, and she could only live on the government's monthly allowance of 300 yuan.
Wang Mintong was a native of the Yellow Banner, his father was the grandson of the military minister Wanyan Chonghou, and his mother was the granddaughter of the Qianlong Emperor V. Wang Mintong's cousin was the last empress Wanrong. It is worth noting that she has always loved the last emperor Puyi.
For Puyi, Wang Mintong has never been married, but in the end, Puyi was still disappointed. Of course, this is all off topic. As the eldest daughter in the family, Wang Mintong has been respected by her elders since she was a child.
She is also the only girl in the family who can eat at the same table with adults. Other sisters ate alone in the backyard.
In addition, Wang Mintong and the talented Meng Xiaodong woman are still best friends. The two have a very close relationship and often hang out together. The photo above is of her best friend and Meng Xiaodong, which only aristocratic women could do at the time.
Of course, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Kong family was also affected, but the family left a lot of ancestral artifacts, so life there was still good, and there were more servants hired in the family.
After Puyi was released from prison, Wang Mintong went to the hospital for examination to prove that he still did not follow Puyi. But Puyi grew tired of Manchu women and eventually married Li Shuxian, a Hanka man who had been married twice.
After Puyi's death, Wang Mintong remained single and unmarried. In the 70s of the 20th century, Wang Mintong was attacked for his aristocratic status, and most of his family's valuables were copied.
She and her mother lived in a humble house and later lived on a government subsidy of 300 yuan a month. Wanrong's brother, Guo Bulolench, once visited her and saw that her house was dirty and dilapidated. Eventually, Runki persuades her to move out and live with everyone.
But she refused. Although Wang Mintong's life is difficult, change is easy for her. She held a vase engraved with Qianlong's ancestors in her hand.
Someone once offered 800,000 yuan to buy, but she refused to sell it, insisting on asking for 1 million yuan. Later, for unknown reasons, she gave the antique to a relative in Taiwan.
This relative is also very kind to her and often supports her in life. In the end, I didn't know how to persuade her to live in a nursing home. Good food and accommodation, and you can also take a bath.
But no one expected that a month later, Wang Mintong would choke to death from eating dumplings.
Although Wang Mintong is beautiful, she is essentially a hardworking person. If she hadn't moved to a nursing home, she might have lived a few more years. Maybe that's fate.
