Bathed in the sunshine of the new era, we swim in the warm ocean like fish, enjoying the quiet and beautiful years. Time doesn't seem to be long anymore, and those good days fly by like flowing water, making it impossible to grasp the traces left by them. However, we must remember that all good things do not come out of nowhere, and that the comfortable life we have now has been bought with countless sufferings. Therefore, at all times, we should remember history and forge ahead, because our lives are very different from those of the old society.

In that turbulent old society, survival itself was an arduous struggle, and oppression was the norm of life. When life fell into a desperate situation, in order to survive, people had to take risks, occupy the mountains as kings, and robbing homes became one of the lowest-cost and highest-reward options at that time. As a result, many people embarked on this road, and although they bore the notoriety of banditry, at least in exchange for a life without food and clothing. The social turmoil has made the bandits more and more active, and they actively recruit troops and horses to strengthen their own power, because they have food and guns in their hands, so that they can really not panic, and even make the government afraid of three points.

In those days, almost all of the bandits were men, which made their marriage a big problem. Few people are willing to take the initiative to marry bandits, so in order to show their strength and prestige, bandit leaders often "snatch" back the woman they like as the wife of the village. Many people think that Mrs. Zhai is just a historical term, but under the new society, we can still get a glimpse of their true faces. Yang Binglian, the last lady in history, is a vivid example, who lived until her death in 2014.

Using modern scientific and technological means, someone restored Yang Binglian's appearance when she was young, allowing us to see her beautiful face. However, when we dig deeper into her story, we will find her kindness and tenacity. Yang Binglian's story is not only the legendary experience of a woman who crushes the village, but also a moving chapter of a woman who bravely survives and sticks to her faith in turbulent times

Yang Binglian was born in 1919 in Zhangjiatuo, Lijiadong Village, Gaofeng Township, Guzhang County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan, and has been famous in the countryside for her beauty since she was a child. Her father ran a small grocery store, which was the family's livelihood. As Yang Binglian grew older, she began to help in the shop, and her flower-like appearance attracted the attention of many passers-by, making the small shop prosperous, and people often stepped into the store just to see her face.

Time flies, Yang Binglian has become a slim girl, and the grocery store seems to have become a small stage in her life. However, one day in 1935, a stranger appeared and shattered her peaceful life. Every time this stranger came to the store to buy something, he would give Yang Binglian a piece of the ocean and wouldn't let her change. This special treatment puzzled Yang Binglian and also aroused her curiosity.

A few days later, Yang Binglian mentioned the incident to her father. Father Yang was experienced and immediately sensed the stranger's intentions. He decided to wait in the store to see who this stranger really was. Sure enough, the next day, the stranger arrived as scheduled, and there was an additional person with extraordinary temperament by his side - Shu Anqing, the local supreme commander.

Father Yang was shocked and mistakenly thought that the other party was here to rob people. However, Shu Anqing calmed his nervousness and revealed that he was proposing marriage for his subordinate Zhang Pinglai. It turned out that the strange man who had been patronizing the grocery store was Zhang Ping. In the face of this sudden marriage, although Father Yang hesitated, he couldn't refuse. In the end, Yang Binglian married Zhang Ping under the arrangement of her parents.

Later, Yang Binglian recalled this past incident and said that she married Zhang Ping out of her own volition. However, at the time, they did not know that Zhang Ping had been a bandit leader, had been married twice, and had a cunning personality. This marriage has brought endless twists and turns and tribulations to Yang Binglian's life, but she still faces life strongly, and writes her own legendary story with her wisdom and courage

After Yang Binglian married into the Zhang family, she gradually pieced together her husband Zhang Ping's old dreams from the mouths of relatives and friends. Zhang Ping, the hero who once shocked the party, has two tragic marriages hidden behind it. His first two wives both left because they couldn't stand his violent temper, one chose to flee, and the other went to a dead end. Yang Binglian, as the new lady of the village, is nervous, afraid that she will become the protagonist of the next tragedy.

However, things turned out to be more than anyone expected. After Zhang Ping married Yang Binglian, he seemed to be reborn and never moved a finger against her again. Yang Binglian sighed and said: "For more than half a year after being married, he still treated me like he had been married for two or three days. This gentleness and care made Yang Binglian feel extremely happy and at ease.

The pace of war was approaching, and Zhang Ping went to Ningbo with Shu Anqing. On the battlefield filled with gunpowder, the bullets did not last long, Zhang Ping's comrades-in-arms fell one after another, but he miraculously survived. After the war, he returned to his hometown safely, and at this time Zhang Ping was no longer the simple hero, but the squadron leader of the Guzhang County Police Department.

As his power grew, Zhang Ping's heart began to undergo subtle changes. He colluded with corrupt officials and corrupt officials to oppress the people, and the image of the former hero was gone. Although Yang Binglian knew what her husband was doing, she chose to remain silent. She focused on her husband and children, hoping to use the warmth of the family to influence her husband, however, as Zhang Ping's evil deeds continued to be exposed, the people's resentment towards Yang Binglian deepened.

In this turbulent era, Yang Binglian is faced with a difficult choice. She has to protect her family while facing her husband's growing ambitions and misdeeds. The struggle and helplessness in her heart were like a small boat trapped in a whirlpool, crumbling. However, she still holds fast to her beliefs and looks forward to the day when she can witness the harmony and tranquility of her family.

The most beautiful lady

Yang Binglian, a woman who carries countless stories behind her name. When the rumors came into her ears like a trickle, she repeatedly advised her husband Zhang Ping not to do those things that hurt nature and reason. But Zhang Ping, as stubborn as a rock, ignored her advice. The people were unbearable and united to file a lawsuit, and finally Zhang Ping was dismissed. However, this did not quell the fury in his heart, but only aroused his fighting spirit.

Zhang Ping took Yang Binglian and her children back to Lijiadong, as if a wounded beast had found a hidden lair. He quickly gathered a group of people, turned Lijiadong into his "mountain", organized an armed force against the government, and proclaimed himself the king of Jinhua Mountain. And Yang Binglian was also pushed to the position of Mrs. Zhai. However, her trust in her husband has not been shaken, even though he has been portrayed as a demon.

In 1944, Zhang Ping was recruited as the deputy commander of the Self-Defense Regiment, and he planted tobacco in Guzhang County, and the oppression of the local people was even more outrageous. Nursery rhymes spread all over the countryside: "The sky sees Zhang Ping, the sun and the moon are unknown; Seeing Zhang Ping on the ground, the grass and trees do not grow; When people see Zhang Ping, they die for a lifetime. These voices pierced Yang Binglian's heart like the tip of a needle, and she began to realize that what her husband had done was so serious that it was irreparable.

Although she persuaded Zhang Ping to repent many times, all she received was abuse and harsh reprimand. Frustrated, Yang Binglian began to help her husband atone for his sins behind her back, quietly handing out fake tax vouchers to villagers who couldn't pay their taxes and sending food to villagers who couldn't eat. Her kindness warmed the hearts of the locals like a spring breeze and won their respect.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhang Ping, who had committed crimes, was tried justly, while Yang Binglian was given leniency for often helping the people. She was able to enjoy the beauty of the new era and spent a peaceful old age. In 2014, the most beautiful cottage lady Yang Binglian passed away at the age of 95. The beauty of her soul far surpasses her appearance, making her the most beautiful lady in history. Her story is like a moving poem, told on the country road, never forgotten.
