The term "celebrity" became a derogatory term because of the group buying incident, and in the 20s and 30s of the last century, it was an unattainable term that specifically referred to the famous high-society women. The famous lady has an excellent appearance and noble conversation, and can arbitrarily choose a door to Prince Charming, but The first yuan in Shanghai, Qiu Lilin, actually eloped for a "drama" with a wife, which became a joke in everyone's eyes.
Qiu Lilin was born as a little princess with a golden spoon, her grandfather was a Customs official of Scottish descent, her father Qiu Yangshan was a wealthy merchant in Shanghai, she was a mixture of Chinese and Western, she was a symbol of beauty since childhood, walking on the road has been stared at. Qiu Lilin was known for her beauty as a child, and when she was 18 years old, she officially became an adult and quickly became a sensation in Shanghai with her "fritter" curls.
People who often watch Republic of China dramas have seen the following curly hair, this curl is called "fritter roll", which is Qiu Lilin's first perm this style of curls, and other celebrities follow suit. Qiu Lilin's brother only took her in and out of high society, and many noble princes beat up Qiu Lilin's idea, but these men only knew how to attack with money, and Qiu Lilin did not like these uncultured men, and never had any heart for them.
In 1923, Qiu Lilin was taken to see the play by her eldest brother, the theater was full, everyone was waiting for today's corner to appear, Qiu Lilin was the first time to see the play, the eldest brother in order to let her see clearly, specially bought the front row position. The good play is about to open, the curtain is slowly pulled open, Qiu Lilin saw a man wearing an embroidered gold python robe, wearing a Wensheng handsome hat, with a mouth with a false beard open, a strong and powerful singing voice was issued, this singing voice surprised the audience, and the audience took off the valuable things on his body and threw them on the stage.
Qiu Lilin watched the play for the first time, watched with relish, learned others to throw the valuable pearl necklace around her neck onto the stage, asked the big brother who was on the stage, and the big brother popped out three words "Zhou Xinfang" from his mouth. In the last century, no one did not know Zhou Xinfang, just as no one did not know Mei Lanfang, the two of them were similar in age, when they were young, they were in the largest Peking Opera class in Beijing, "Xi Liancheng", and later one developed in the south, one developed in the north, and one south and one north stood on top of each other.
Usually men write letters to Qiu Lilin, but since Qiu Lilin has seen Zhou Xinfang's plays and fallen deeply in love with him, she writes letters to Zhou Xinfang one after another every day, because she has a Western-style education, not as conservative as traditional Chinese women, she dares to boldly express her love in the letter, and there is no discrimination against the people who sing the opera, and bravely pursue Zhou Xinfang.
Zhou Xinfang got Qiu Lilin's letter and thought that it was just a fanatical female fan who was dizzy for a while, and it would be good to wait for a while, but Qiu Lilin did not chase Zhou Xinfang and swore not to give up, Zhou Xinfang saw that she was sincere, and her heart began to soften, and every night when he was quiet, his mind was all Qiu Lilin.
Zhou Xinfang was 17 years old in the name of her family and married her wife who arranged a marriage, and after marriage, she had a son and two daughters, but their feelings did not deepen because of the arrival of the children, but they were separated for two years, Qiu Lilin knew that Zhou Xinfang's conditions did not affect her love for Zhou Xinfang at all, and Zhou Xinfang also wanted to have a woman she really liked to accompany her, so she met privately behind the back of the world.
Zhou Xinfang thought that when they met online, the reporter would not photograph him and Qiu Lilin, but the reporter still did, and exaggerated their relationship, and the whole of Shanghai knew their love affair. Qiu Lilin's father died at the age of 8, and her mother educated her, who looked down on Zhou Xinfang as a "dramatist" and deliberately put her under house arrest in order to prevent Qiu Lilin from looking for him.
Qiu Lilin saw her mother asleep, used the money to buy her little cousin, and asked her to give the elopement letter to Zhou Xinfang, who saw the letter and knew that her lover was trapped in a birdcage and immediately sent a car to rescue her. In order not to alarm her mother, Qiu Lilin's pajamas and slippers were too late to change, and she quickly ran to the car sent by Zhou Xinfang, all the way to Zhou Xinfang's home, and when they met again, the two people who were in love hugged each other tightly.
If Qiu Lilin is still in Shanghai, according to the influence of the Qiu family, sooner or later she will be caught back, they will first move to Suzhou, Zhou Xinfang because she still has to sing, he can only leave Qiu Lilin alone in Suzhou, and then return to the Shanghai Theater. When the Qiu family found that Qiu Lilin was missing, their first reaction was that Zhou Xinfang took her away, in order to force Zhou Xinfang to call someone to monitor her. Qiu Lilin knew in Suzhou that her lover was being monitored by her family, she was tormented in her heart, she did not know which side to stand on, after thinking twice, she chose Zhou Xinfang, hired a lawyer to fight for her, and published the statement in the newspaper. The Qiu family felt that Qiu Lilin felt that she had no face at all because Zhou Xinfang could make trouble in the family, and she severed her blood relationship with Qiu Lilin in a huff.
Qiu Lilin finally succeeded in being with Zhou Xinfang, they gave birth to two boys and four girls, Qiu Lilin for the children's education, fiercely sent 6 of them to the United States, the United Kingdom and other developed countries to study. The children did not live up to Qiu Lilin's painstaking heart, and all became dragons and phoenixes among people, the eldest son, Zhou Shaolin, inherited his father's business and became the descendant of the Qi Sect founded by Zhou Xinfang, and the second son, Zhou Yinghua, was interested in cooking and became a "Chinese god of food". The third daughter, Zhou Caiqin, is the first Chinese "Bang Girl" who has starred in American film and television dramas such as "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." and "Amazing Monster Group 2".
Those who are familiar with Chinese Americans may have heard of the above names, but they may not know that they are actually from a family, and they do not know that their parents are Zhou Xinfang and Qiu Lilin, if there is no Qiu Lilin's brave step, maybe Zhou Caiqin they will not be born.
