There is such a couple, who have slept together for 18 years and have given birth to a son, but the husband does not know that the wife is a male child. Two people have been in love for nearly 20 years, and when living a conjugal life, how did the wife hide from the sky and cross the sea?
Maybe you think it's made up, but it's true. Shi Peipu, a screenwriter, actor and secretary of the Beijing Youth Peking Opera Troupe, was in love with Bursico, a French diplomat in Beijing at the time, in 1964, who mistakenly thought he was his daughter.
In a close relationship lasting nearly 20 years, the two also gave birth to a son. It was not until June 30, 1983, when the two were arrested by the French security service, that the secret of Pei Pu's boy's body was revealed. Boursico was so surprised that his spirit almost collapsed, and the relationship between the two was broken and they never saw each other again.
On June 30, 2009, Shi Peipu died in Paris, France, at the age of 70. On his deathbed, he called Bursico and said, "I still love you..." But Bursico still couldn't forgive him.
Director David Cronenberg adapted the story of Shi Peipu and Bursico into the movie "Butterfly King" and put it on the screen. Starring Jeremy Irons and Dragon, the film premiered on September 9, 1993 at the 18th Toronto International Film Festival in Canada.
01, Gao Renni is infatuated with Song Liling because of "Madame Butterfly"
In 1964, Gaureni, an accountant at the French Embassy in China, went to see the opera "Madame Butterfly", which tells a poignant love story.
Madame Butterfly and Pinkerton, a U.S. Navy officer, fell in love and married, and had a happy time. Later, Pinkerton abandoned Madame Butterfly and returned to the United States alone. Three years later, Pinkerton returned to Japan with his legal wife in the United States, taking away his and Madame Butterfly's children, who were heartbroken and committed suicide.
Gao Renni was deeply moved by the content of the story, and was also attracted by Song Liling, the actor of Madame Butterfly. Song Liling is a Peking Opera actress, in addition to the opera "Madame Butterfly", she also has to perform Peking Opera, so Gao Renni went to see Song Liling's Peking Opera, and the more she watched, the more fascinated she became.
By this time, Gorenni was married, and his wife was much older than him. Gorenni did not love his wife, and the couple had no children. Korenni married his wife for the sake of the future, because her father was an ambassador to Australia, which helped Korenni in his career.
After Gao Renni fell in love with Song Liling, he often went backstage to find Song Liling and send gifts to Song Liling. Song Liling did not pay attention to Gao Renni at first, but the number of times Gao Renni came, she could not help but pay attention. After a while, Gao Renni's work was busy, and there was no time to go to Song Liling again.
02, Gao Renni and Song Liling talk about love like other couples
About half a year later, Gao Renni suddenly received a letter from Song Liling, in which Song Liling asked Gao Renni why she did not go to her performance? Gao Renni, as if he had been given special care, was ecstatic and immediately went to find Song Liling. That night, Song Liling stayed with Gao Renni, and the two spent the first night.
After that, the two people, like other couples, were often together. The two went cycling together, climbed the Great Wall together, sat on the Great Wall together to eat, etc.
Song Liling said that she was malnourished and did not develop well when she was a child, so her breasts were a bit like boys' and flat. But Gao Renni felt that it didn't matter, he liked women like Song Liling.
In the evening, when Song Liling and Gao Renni spent the night together, Song Liling always refused to undress with the shyness of oriental women. Gao Renni never forced her, in Gao Renni's eyes, Oriental women are very mysterious.
03, Song Liling said that she was pregnant with Gao Renni's child
At a cocktail party, Gaurene's high-talk attracted a Western woman, who took the initiative to ask Gaureni to the hotel. On the hotel bed, Gao Renni looked at the body of this Western woman, and thought of Song Liling in his mind, and he suddenly lost interest in the Western woman in front of him.
After leaving the Western woman, Gao Renni went to find Song Liling overnight. This time, he wanted to see Song Liling's body under the lamp, but Song Liling refused, and the two people broke up unhappily.
But not long after, Song Liling went to Gao Renni and said that she was pregnant. Gao Renni was excited and immediately apologized to Song Liling, blaming herself for not being like that last time, because she was too grumpy.
The two were reconciled, but Song Liling said that she had to go back to her hometown of Chengde to raise a baby, which was the rule of her hometown. She could not come back until three months after the birth of the child, and Gao Renni immediately agreed, and immediately went to help Song Liling buy a train ticket.
04. Song Liling and Gao Renni were separated due to political turmoil
Song Liling got on the train to Chengde, but not long after the train left, she got off the train. In fact, Song Liling is a spy who approaches Gao Renni in order to gain access to U.S. plans for action in Vietnam.
After Song Liling got off the train, she went to see a liaison officer, who asked her to find a way to buy a Xinjiang child for her.
A decade of turmoil ensued, with student parades, theatres and costumes burned down, and people wearing top hats roaming the streets.
When Song Liling returned with the child, Gao Renni was excited to see the child, and he wanted to take Song Liling and the child to Paris, and then marry Song Liling.
But because Song Liling is a Peking Opera actress, she is also the target of the downfall. So after she and Gao Renni had a hasty meeting, they were taken to the countryside for labor reform, and the children were also taken away.
After Song Liling left, Gao Renni was demoted by the French Embassy in China and repatriated to China because he misjudged the situation of the United States in Vietnam.
05, Gao Renni learned of Song Liling's man identity
After returning to France, Gaureni and his wife divorced. He misses Song Liling very much, misses his days in China, and often goes to the theater to watch "Madame Butterfly", and every time he looks at it, he bursts into tears.
One day in 1968, Song Liling suddenly appeared in France, and she came to find Gao Renni. After Gao Renni saw Song Liling, he hugged her and immediately cried with joy. After that, the two lived together as husband and wife, and Gorenni went to find a job as a postman, and life was very stable.
Fifteen years later, Gaureni was arrested by the French government on charges of leaking intelligence. In court, he met his wife Song Liling, who appeared as a witness, but at this time, Song Liling was dressed in men's clothes. Gao Renni knew that Song Liling was a real Chinese man.
In fact, Song Liling has been using Gao Renni to do the work of a postman, while passing on confidential government documents. In order to stay in China, Gao Renni cooperated with Song Liling to pass on documents, but he knew nothing about Song Liling's male body.
After Gao Renni and Song Liling were taken to the prison car, Song Liling took off her clothes in front of Gao Renni for the first time, and Gao Renni suddenly collapsed after seeing Song Liling's man's body.
Later, in prison, Gao Renni played Madame Butterfly herself once, then committed suicide, and Song Liling was repatriated to China.
epilogue:
In the "Mulan Poem", it is said: Two rabbits walking on the ground, can Ann distinguish between male and female?
Song Liling, a spy and a Peking opera actress, used a man's body to confuse a French man for nearly 20 years. Gao Renni was obsessed with Madame Butterfly, addicted to Chinese Peking Opera, and was so full of fantasies about oriental women that he could not even distinguish the gender of his wife.
The story of Gao Renni and Song Liling sounds absurd, but in reality it happened to Shi Peipu and Bursico. No one knows how they lived their married lives. Except for Bursiko and Shi Peipu himself, no one knows, how come Bursiko did not find out that Shi Peipu was a man?
After Bursiko was arrested, the French police, when questioning Shi Peipu, found that her throat was protruding, and suspected that she was not a woman. After the doctor examined Shi Peipu's body, he determined that Shi Peipu was zhenzong's male body and had not undergone any gender reassignment surgery.
Later, both Shi Peipu and Bursico received amnesty from the French government. But Bursiko, who is "indistinguishable from male and female", has for a time become the laughing stock of Westerners after tea and dinner. A person who is too obsessed with something will often be confused.
