In 1908, a girl was born in a small courtyard in Shanghai, and her father was Meng Hongqun, a famous drama actor at that time. In this era when there are still some feudal ideas and the supremacy of male power, Meng Hongqun did not feel disappointed because he was a girl, or gave up on this child.

The child was named "Meng Linghui", which is the original name of Meng Xiaodong. It is not difficult to see Meng Hongqun's idea from the name, he wants to train her into a new drama everyone, to inherit the family business, to continue the current glory.
Since the age of 4, Meng Xiaodong has followed Meng Hongqun to practice singing with the old students. In the end, it is a child born in a drama family, and his talent is much stronger than that of ordinary people. At the age of 17, he has already begun to sing on stage, and since then Meng Xiaodong has gone farther and farther on the road of opera, climbing higher and higher.
Every time she appeared, there was a round of applause, a mighty appearance, a thick singing voice, if he did not know her, no one could see that this was a young and beautiful girl. The world is difficult, and Meng Xiaodong's road to fame is not smooth. At that time, there was a saying in the theater industry, "Beijing learns art, Tianjin sings red, Shanghai makes money", if you want to be popular, you have to go to Tianjin.
The 17-year-old Meng Xiaodong was only a little famous at this time, and he was still far from "red". In order to dream, she embarked on the road to Tianjin without hesitation. In order to be able to quickly become famous, she sang day and night, not afraid of hardship or tiredness.
To say how deep her kung fu is, not only is her singing voice amazing, but the unique skills on her legs and feet are also admirable. Meng Xiaodong's most famous skill is her flip table, after turning over, wearing a hair without messy. This kung fu was at the height of the drama at that time, and not many people could do it. First of all, the danger is great, Meng Xiaodong's younger brother Meng Xueshu is because when practicing this kung fu, he fell to his brain and turned the line.
Strong strength and reputation- related, Meng Xiaodong soon absorbed a large number of opera fans in Tianjin, and also gained the title of "Winter Emperor". Stepping through the tianjin wei barrier, she was not satisfied, and Meng Xiaodong, who was arrogant and arrogant in nature, did not hesitate to go north, just to pass with more masters. This time, he lost his heart on Mei Lanfang.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > Mei Meng</h1>
In a charity performance in 1925, Meng Xiaodong met 31-year-old Mei Lanfang. Pear Garden Line has a well-known rule, the big names should be the finale, and Mei Lanfang was the biggest card of the night. Meng Xiaodong, as the penultimate person to come to power, mei Lanfang had just arrived when she stepped down. Everyone in the whole theater boiled up, shouting "Mr. Mei", and walked in surrounded by him, passing by Meng Xiaodong.
Meng Xiaodong, who did not get a single eye, had no good impression of Mr. Mei, who was "no one in sight". When I saw Mei Lanfang's "Overlord Farewell", the dissatisfaction just now disappeared in an instant.
The two knew each other and soon moved their feelings, but Mei Lanfang already had a wife, Fu Zhifang. Compared with Meng Xiaodong, Fu Zhifang is not a good one to get along with. No matter the means or the heart is above her, even so Meng Xiaodong still did not flinch, insisting on being with Mei Lanfang. Mei's family did not agree to her entering the door, and the two could only secretly marry and live in the courtyard. This period of time was Meng Xiaodong's happiest days.
One of Meng Xiaodong's fanatical fans was very dissatisfied with the fact that the two were together, and found an opportunity to break into the house and assassinate Mei Lanfang. Mei Lanfangfu escaped a great fate, but his friend was brutally killed. In order to settle this matter, the Mei family spent a lot of money to comfort the victim's family, and Meng Xiaodong, as the source, naturally became the target of public criticism.
Although this incident caused a rift in the relationship between the two, it was not the main reason for the breakup. Mei's mother died, Meng Xiaodong, as Mei Lanfang's girlfriend, was going to go to the funeral, and did not want to be threatened by the pregnant Fu Zhifang at the cost of the child, and stopped outside the door. For this reason, Mei Lanfang could only persuade Meng Xiaodong to go back first, and this was the time when the two broke up.
Meng Xiaodong, who has always been arrogant, did not hesitate to break up with the newspaper, and he was also quite determined to keep his former lover. In the following ten years, Meng Xiaodong never looked for other men, which also gave Du Yuesheng, who has always had a good feeling for her, an opportunity.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > Meng Xiaodong and Du Yuesheng</h1>
Du Yuesheng's road to fame can be called a legend of a generation, born in a poor family, living in the hot and hot Shanghai Beach, fortunate to enter the "Golden Rong Mansion" after opening all the way, gradually replacing his position. He and Meng Xiaodong met after becoming Jin Rong's right-hand man.
At that time, Jin Rong was fascinated by the drama Lu Lanchun, and for her sake, he did not hesitate to divorce his long-time wife Lin Guisheng. However, after Lu Lanchun married into the Huang family for only one year, she chose to elope with her lover because she could not stand Jin Rong's flower heart. This incident made Jin Rong very humiliated, and he sent Du Yuesheng to look around for the two. Lu Lanchun had nowhere to go, so she thought of her classmate Meng Xiaodong, the two were also teachers and friends, and the relationship was good.
Du Yuesheng followed her all the way to the Meng mansion in Beijing and met Meng Xiaodong, and this meeting led to the entangled fate of the two in the future. At that time, Meng Xiaodong did not feel for him, and only Mei Lanfang was in his heart. And Du Yuesheng also became a gentleman, silently guarding. It was not until more than ten years after the breakup of "Mei Meng" that Meng Xiaodong returned to Shanghai to truly take the beautiful person into his arms.
The semi-open relationship between the two has caused quite a stir, one is the "Winter Emperor" who has returned to the peak, and the other is the new "overlord" of Shanghai Beach, and the influence is quite large. Is Meng Xiaodong really so willing to follow Du Yuesheng without a name? Of course not!
In 1949, Du Yuesheng was forced by the situation and had to move his family to Hong Kong, and when he left, Meng Xiaodong hesitated as usual. She asked Du Yuesheng, "I'm going to follow, but what is my identity?" servant girl? Or a girlfriend? ”
Du Yuesheng couldn't help but be overjoyed by these words, and the reason why he hadn't given the other party a name for so many years was mainly because she was afraid that she wouldn't want to. Meng Xiaodong's feelings for him are imminent, and he has always carefully cared for and respected this feeling.
Now when I hear her words, I can't care about anything, and it is the most important thing to hold a wedding. In 1950, Du Yuesheng, who was over 60 years old, was not as healthy as before, and he still chose to receive guests with illness for Meng Xiaodong.
The late wedding gave this not-so-smooth relationship a satisfactory end, and Meng Xiaodong was satisfied to follow Du Yuesheng away and live his own life. Unfortunately, the following year, Du Yuesheng died of illness in Hong Kong, leaving her alone.
In her old age, she unfortunately suffered from an illness, and her cough for many years made her have to choose to give up Peking Opera and recuperate. Refusing to return to the mainland, refusing to attend any event, even though everything was predominantly physical, he died of complications in 1977.
Meng Xiaodong's life career path has gone extremely smoothly, from young fame to the "Winter Emperor" in the population, although there was a brief disappointment in the middle, but it still quickly returned to the peak. In terms of feelings, Meng Xiaodong commented on her two husbands like this:
"Mei Lanfang is a hypocrite, and Du Yuesheng is a real rogue!"
