Women have a low status, are restricted by feudal society, and cannot choose their own fate. However, in this era of very restrictive women's rights, there is one type of occupation that can only be performed by women. And recognized by the law - the woman of the green building.
The green building is a place set up by men for entertainment and for the old bustard to make money, and the women in it can only be instructed by their grandmothers every day to coax the men's pleasure. The fate of the Qinglou woman has long been decided by her father's trafficking, and Cheng Jinmei is one of them. Cheng Jinmei was born into a poor farming family.
However, with the influx of opium, her happy family was torn apart. In order to satisfy his drug addiction, Cheng Jinmei's father became crazy and sold his wife. Helplessly watching her mother being taken away, Cheng Jinmei began to worry about her fate. Soon after, his father ruined the income from selling his mother, so he turned his attention to Cheng Jinmei.
Before she reached the age of Juan, she was sold to the Qinglou. After entering the Qinglou, Cheng Jinmei became a Miss Huakui. Here, she was scolded by guests and bustards, but what she was most afraid of was the "bayberry sores", an incurable condition. She was intimidated in a small dark room, but her gritty personality made the intimidation ineffective.
In order to protect her skin from injury, the old bustard brought a woman Cui'er, and if Cheng Jinmei did not give in one day, he would whip Cui'er. Maybe she figured it out, or maybe she couldn't bear to suffer for her, Cheng Jinmei agreed to pick up the guest. She began to learn song and dance music and fox charm, and soon learned it.
Her first night was auctioned off to a very high price, and she completely gave herself away. Although she is still good in the green building, she has also been jealous and bullied. Only Trier was willing to stand beside her. Gradually, she found her positioning, rose in value, and became a new generation of flowers.
As time passed, Cheng Jinmei had a certain status in the Yongchun Hall, and the old bustard also gave her some face. She used her position to pay to find out about her mother, but found nothing. However, one thing almost broke her down. She and Cui'er depend on each other, but Cui'er is infected with "bayberry sores", and her whole body is covered with sores.
The old bustard locked Cui'er in the darkroom to die, and Cheng Jinmei felt very sad about this. Trix's death wakes her up and realizes that she needs to protect her body. Fortunately, the guests she receives are high-class guests with a strong sense of protection, and she also has a separate room and bathroom, which can be washed after each event.
She persevered until the founding of New China, and was successfully rescued by the government and started a new life. Looking back on Cheng Jinmei's fate, she may be lucky that she did not contract the "bayberry sores" and successfully escaped the clutches of the Qinglou. However, this experience is already engraved in her heart and cannot be erased.
She experienced trafficking, harassment and loneliness, but she also showed her perseverance and intelligence. Her story reminds us that despite the injustice of circumstances and fate, we can still change our destiny through hard work and courage. The low status of women in feudal society is a problem that cannot be ignored, and the existence of women in Qinglou is also a manifestation of this problem.
Although Cheng Jinmei found some status and dignity in the Qinglou, this did not hide the helplessness and pain of being forced to make this choice. In today's society, although the status and rights of women have been greatly improved, we still need to pay attention to and improve the status and treatment of women in society, and provide them with more choices and opportunities.
In modern society, despite the relatively high status of women, there are still some problems. Problems such as gender discrimination, domestic violence, occupational discrimination and other problems persist. Although laws and regulations stipulate this, the actual implementation needs to be strengthened.
We need to further promote social progress and reform to create an environment of equality, respect and opportunity for women. Only in this way can women truly realize their dreams and pursuits and change their destiny. The theme of the article is to explore the status of women in feudal society and the fate of women in the Qinglou.
By telling the story of Cheng Jinmei, the plight of women in feudal society is revealed and the importance of women's rights and interests is emphasized. The article concludes that although the status of women in modern society is relatively high, there are still some problems that need to be continued to improve. Finally, a question is posed that guides the reader to think and comment.
