Who would have thought that in 2024 AD, there would still be two people with "Qing Dynasty braids".
A self-proclaimed "descendant of Cixi" is the eighth generation, and everyone calls him "Eighth Elder Brother", and he made amazing words on "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and asked the audience to kneel for him.
A self-proclaimed "tenth grandson of Dolgon", in order to ensure the "purity of blood" refused to marry a Han girl as his wife, and asked the state for the Forbidden City?
Who are these two "perverse" people, and why are they so "crazy"?
On the stage of "Do Not Disturb", a "strange" person with "braided hair" came on a blind date.
Originally, everyone thought that he just loved to wear these clothes.
Unexpectedly, he actually claimed to be a "descendant of Cixi", not only making everyone call him "Eighth Elder Brother", but also asking everyone to kneel.
Netizen: "He died early in the morning, this person is really top!"
This person's name is He Qingling, born in Dalian City, Liaoning Province, and his family background is average.
Because he didn't study well, he dropped out of school early and entered the society and became an auto mechanic.
Although I don't earn much, I earn it by my hard work.
Who knows, his down-to-earth and peaceful life was broken by a sentence.
One day, on his way from work, he met a group of people gathered around and chatting lively.
He got up, and it turned out that there were a few old gentlemen talking about the story of the surname, which happened to be changed in the Qing Dynasty.
The more he listened, the more mysterious He Qingling couldn't help but step forward and ask if there was anything special about his "He" surname.
Unexpectedly, when the old men heard this, their eyes immediately lit up: "This surname is amazing, you are the descendant of Cixi!"
These words shocked He Qingling, he didn't expect that he was not an ordinary person, and he actually had "aristocratic blood" on his body.
I don't know where he came from to find out that he was the "eighth generation descendant of Cixi", and he began to call himself "Eighth Elder Brother".
This turned his life upside down.
Since you have such a "noble" status, how can you still do all that dirty work and tiring work?
He immediately quit his job and began shaving his head, wearing braids and wearing Qing Dynasty clothes.
I also read a lot of information and dressed up my home as "Brother's Mansion".
He learned a lot of "pedantic" etiquette, and asked his friends to "bow to him" as well.
When I usually go out, I am also dressed in a clear suit, a folding fan, and I look "noble".
Every time he goes out, there are a lot of eyes that linger on him.
He Qingling didn't think it was a weird and disdainful look, but felt that it was the attention of passers-by who respected him.
He spends his days wandering the streets, loitering around.
The once industrious and down-to-earth side is gone in him.
Relatives and friends thought he was crazy and "went crazy", but He Qingling didn't care and still insisted on going his own way.
Such a "strange" person, naturally no one wants to live with him.
He Qingling, who has never married a wife, had a plan and called the blind date program "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" column group and registered.
The program team also felt that he "brought his own traffic", so they agreed to let him participate.
He Qingling never felt that he had any problems, but felt that those women who went on blind dates should feel honored.
He pretended to be a noble gesture in the show, revealing his "superiority" everywhere, and even asked everyone to "respectfully" call him "Eighth Elder Brother" and kneel.
It's really completely hopeless.
This absurd approach not only made his life unrecognizable.
He who has three wrong views and lives in fantasy will eventually be counterattacked.
In Guangzhou, there is also a person like him.
The man who called himself "the tenth grandson of Dolgon" was named Zhou Youqian, and he also gave himself a name: Aixin Jueluo Zhoudi.
He said that he was a descendant of the Manchu nobleman Dolgon, and his status was noble.
Like He Qingling, Zhou Youqian also wore "braids" and wore "Qing Dynasty costumes".
Moreover, he felt that his status was noble, and he only wore bright yellow silk clothes.
Unlike He Qingling, who had no money to buy "equipment", he completely turned his life into a "prince's specification" according to the content in the classics he found.
The furniture in the home is custom-made, using treasures such as huanghuali and rosewood.
Moreover, all the utensils in the house are arranged according to the descriptions in the classics, such as the stepping bed, the calligraphy and paintings framed in silk, and even the indoor moon cave door.
The entire wall of the room is the "Manchu Eight Banners".
He also made a "clan rule" for his family, which prohibits marriage to Han Chinese.
It is said that it is to ensure the "purity of blood".
It's outrageous and ridiculous.
In life, he also regarded himself as a "prince".
There are all kinds of pickiness about going to restaurants to eat, which leads to many restaurants no longer accepting him.
He also made a big fuss at the train station in 2004.
He thinks that he has a noble status and that the train station should let him ride for free, not let him pay for a ticket.
As a result, there was a conflict with the staff at the train station.
The people present saw that he kept saying that he was the "prince" and the descendant of "Aixin Jueluo", and looked at him like a fool.
Even after being restrained by security, he still sat there with a "dignified" appearance, not feeling that there was anything wrong with his behavior.
In the end, the relevant staff warned him that if he made any further trouble, he would be detained for disturbing public order, and he did not continue.
In addition to this, he has done even more extreme things.
He also left a message on the website of the Palace Museum, asking the state to return the Forbidden City to him.
He felt that as a "descendant of the nobility", these items rightfully belonged to him.
Therefore, repeated provocations have no bottom line.
His actions have sparked numerous criticisms, with some calling him mentally ill and others saying he is shameless.
Except for his wife, who was also caught in the "royal dream" with him, other relatives and friends stayed away from him.
Today, times have changed.
There is no news of He Qingling on the Internet.
Some people say that he still has a "aristocratic dream", but he has no source of livelihood, is poor, and is alone.
Some say that he has repented, cut off his braids, and returned to his normal life.
Regarding Zhou Youqian, his current situation is even more unknown.
Some speculate that 20 years ago he was in his seventies, and now he is probably no longer alive.
epilogue
What these two men did was simply perverse and pedantic.
The reason for this is that they want to attract attention, get privileges, and get something for nothing.
To be a down-to-earth person, one step at a time, and never to live in false illusions.
