A Korean noblewoman who fell into hell was born at the wrong time
Born in 1960, Lee Mi-ran is the eldest daughter of a well-known medical family in South Korea. Her father had treated the former president, and the family had a prominent status, and Li Meilan was regarded as a famous lady since she was a child, with outstanding appearance, good education, and a bright future. After graduating from college in 1983, Li Meilan originally planned to continue her studies, but met Fang Rongxun, the second son of the Fang family, at an annual graduation party.
The Fang family is a well-known chaebol family in South Korea, controlling many large enterprises such as the Chosun Ilbo, and meeting in the political and economic circles. As the second son, Fang Rongxun is generous and romantic, and he has naturally coveted a beautiful woman like Li Meilan for a long time. When pursuing Li Meilan, he can be described as wandering like a cloud, opening the way with flower baskets and limousines every day, and even publishing a marriage proposal on the masthead of the magazine. Showing her love directly, Li Meilan soon fell into the charm of this merry boy.
Marriage was originally a happy destination in life, but for Li Meilan, this seemingly perfect marriage has become the most painful experience in her life. Soon after marriage, Fang Rongxun took off his disguise and revealed his true face. As a typical gentleman, he not only disrespected his wife, but even started endless domestic violence.
Lose face!
Behind the intensification of the family fighting is the despicable behavior of the children who forget their righteousness for the sake of profit. In order to get a piece of the pie, they did not hesitate to collude with their father, and collaborated to beat their biological mother, which was outrageous.
Once, the eldest daughter picked up a hammer and threatened Li Meilan to hand over the money, otherwise she would cut off her hands. The poor mother could only keep silent and swallow her anger.
In the face of such embarrassment and treachery by her own children, one cannot help but sigh at the beginning of people's self-knowledge, where is the moral heart? Li Meilan worked hard to raise her four children, and she never expected that they would be so ruthless and unrighteous. Whether it is the temptation of money that has carried them away, or whether their nature is so vicious, it is really ridiculous.
Li Meilan has received a good education since she was a child, has a gentle personality, and never thought that such an encounter would occur. She can only suffer from domestic violence while always guarding against the harm of her children. Every day in the dark and damp basement, I live by munching on spoiled food, and occasionally I dare to bandage carefully in a small clinic when I am injured, for fear of causing more trouble.
Hidden deep in the pain in my heart
After enduring several years of domestic violence, Zhang Ziyan's forced suicide broke out in 2009, and Li Meilan made up her mind to leave this abyssal marriage. Who knew that this divorce request became the fuse for her complete loss of personal freedom.
Fang Rongxun is also a wealthy man in high society, and it is undoubtedly a loss of face to want a divorce. In order to prevent the scandal of his family from becoming public, he decided to fight violence with violence, imprisoning his wife Li Meilan in the basement of his house, and only giving a small amount of expired food every day to survive. Sometimes the children get angry and rush down the basement to punch and kick them to vent.
What's even more odious is that Fang Rongxun actually framed Li Meilan for stealing a huge amount of money from her family, and said to the children: "Whoever can make your mother hand over the money will inherit the family business in the future." "Cao Cao Cao arrived, and those greedy children immediately began to abuse their mother, both physically and mentally.
Sometimes, the four walls of the basement would suddenly hear the mother's mournful cries. Hearing this painful wail, we were speechless, and we only felt endless guilt and sorrow. As Li Meilan said before her death, "Compared with the abuse of her husband, the injury of my daughters is more painful to me." A gentle mother who has worked for most of her life for these children, but in exchange for such destruction and injury, is really the greatest injustice and misfortune in life.
Weak resistance
As an aristocratic class, Fang Rongxun's family is everywhere in the political, economic, military and police circles, and Li Meilan has no way to call the police and file a complaint. Even the local law firm turned a blind eye to her divorce application, killing herself for fear of angering the chaebol tycoon.
In a desperate situation, Li Meilan could only flee to her parents' house by all means and begged her relatives to shelter her. Although the family members were angry, they had nothing to do but watch Li Meilan being devastated. After all, no matter how capable he is, he can't escape the power and money of the chaebol family.
So, tragedy inevitably came. In September 2016, in the days of being inseparable, Li Meilan chose the last way out - suicide. Before leaving, she said to her family that she cherished it, left a suicide note criticizing Fang Rongxun, and walked alone into the surging waters of the Han River.
A gentle life fell silently and turned into a wave on the surface of the river. And those cannibalistic broadmen and chaebols still enjoy the glory and wealth of servant service in the corners of the city.
The distortion of human nature
What happened to Li Meilan in her life is lamentable. As a representative of the traditional class, she should have had a comfortable life like a famous lady in a greenhouse. Unexpectedly, her life's journey was filled with endless darkness and pain.
What is the reason for such an elegant and intellectual woman to suffer such a miserable fate? We cannot but feel deeply helpless about the distortion of human nature in the money society. All tragedies stem from people's crazy obsession and pursuit of money and power.
If you are rich and powerful, you can do whatever you want and trample on all human ethics; If you have money and power, you can buy everyone, including the fairness and justice of the law. Isn't this kind of social pathology, where human lives are at stake, the biggest black hole in modern civilization? Looking at what happened to Li Meilan's family, and how those who aided and abetted the abuses were indifferent, should we have a love-hate relationship with this society?
Hope for justice
In this way, the suicide note, condensed with blood and tears, was placed on the banks of the Han River, waiting to be passed on one day, so that the whole world could pay attention to this wealthy family distorted by greed and depravity. It's a pity that even the police were burdened by power and money and became accomplices to this crime.
The tragedy sparked an outcry from South Korea, with signatures demanding that the government severely punish the atrocities committed by Fang Yongxun's family. But unfortunately, justice has never been fully served. Although Fang Rongxun was sentenced to some prison terms, he was not punished from beginning to end.
To this day, we do not see a complete result. But we still hope that one day, the sun of justice can penetrate the dark clouds, dispel the darkness, and make this society more civilized and orderly. On that day, we will also raise the banner of victory for Li Meilan and celebrate that she can also get the rest she deserves in the heavenly spirit.
Life is short for decades, and whether you can be lucky or even unfortunate is often only a thought. Whether we can cherish the present and embrace the good depends on each person's own choice. Li Meilan's life also left us with a valuable lesson - how terrible the price of pursuing money and power is.
Let us hope that such a tragedy will not happen again, and that everyone should have the right to be respected and live happily. Regardless of whether the rich or the poor are low, or because of the rank of the family, this is precisely the important goal of the development of a civilized society. People should help each other and help each other, instead of being above everyone else and ignoring the preciousness of life.
Only when everyone likes the new and hates the old, and pursues truth, goodness and beauty, will our society become a better place. Only then can justice and justice last forever in the world, the sun shines on the earth, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. Let's work together to build a new world for the future of this country.
