Chinese theater artist Ouyang Yuqian commented that Mr. Mei Lanfang is the "creator of beauty", but the author believes that he is also the "owner of beauty", he has a smile, words and deeds are very beautiful, he has a beautiful appearance and singing voice, and the women he has, whether in character or appearance, are also the leaders at that time, so I also understand why he is circling between 3 people. The most intuitive manifestation of their beauty is of course this collection of black and white photos and the character stories in the black and white photos.
1. Wang Minghua
Wang Minghua married Mei Lanfang at the age of 17, when she was the most difficult. At that time, Mei Lanfang's "throat collapsed", so the future was uncertain, the uncle felt that he was unhappy and said to marry him, Mei Lanfang did not stop it, and Wang Minghua was also a Peking Opera family, and the facial features were clear, and with the traditional woman's elegance, smart and beautiful, and stable and capable, after marriage, the life was arranged in an orderly and tasteful manner, Mei Lanfang liked her very much.
But if you think that she is a conservative girl then it is wrong, she is still a new era woman who dares to break through the dogma, Mei Lanfang's career is improving, often have to run performances everywhere, Wang Minghua did not choose to stay at home alone and wait for her husband, but to run around the country together, not only that, she also dared to help Mei Lanfang improve makeup and design hairstyles when everyone was quite critical of women entering the background, and became an "agent". 、
So Mei Lanfang is completely inseparable from her, the two are equivalent to inseparable, and everyone is also praised by this pair of Bi people, Wang Minghua has never been tortured by any mother-in-law, the big and small things in the family are handled by her, she said that no one dares and no one will say two, after all, even Mei Lanfang is obedient to her, plus after staying for this family, she is a winner in life, but unfortunately it is a pity that she soon ushered in the darkest moment.
It was a sudden measles disease, a pair of children were unfortunate to die because of this, Wang Minghua was sad, but more hit her is still behind, because the family has a son on their side, but the family has to pass on the generations, but before Wang Minghua in order to better take care of Mei Lanfang was sterilized, it must not be born, the family will be the master plan to marry Mei Lanfang again, Wang Minghua obviously can't refuse, so he can only share Mei Lanfang's feelings equally with others.
2. Fu Zhifang
This other person is Fu Zhifang. Fu Zhifang's mother Fu Shi is more bold than Wang Minghua, she was originally a Manchu flag family, and later the family lived in poverty, married to a small trader at the age of 19, but the two were always at odds, according to normal circumstances, she should swallow her anger, not to mention that she was pregnant at that time, but she was biased, she fled back to her mother's house by herself, and then gave birth to Fu Zhifang, who usually made money by cutting toothpicks.
Fu's people are five big and three thick, but her daughter Fu Zhifang is the opposite, quiet and idyllic, and the appearance is also peugeot, fourteen or fifteen years old, so he began to learn drama, and later was taken by Wu Lingxian to Mei Lanfang's house, the result is that because of this appearance and temperament, was noticed by everyone, Wang Minghua was even more moved, in 1921 called someone to her home to say kiss, and Fu Clan knew that the other party was Mei Lanfang, and it was to be a peaceful wife, not a concubine, and then agreed.
Fu Zhifang is also a good girl, after marrying, she will not go to the theater and not mix what showbiz, anthroparay to be Mrs. Mei, and because she is not a spicy person, Mei Lanfang is also very fond of her, Wang Minghua and her have no contradictions, the family is happy and harmonious, she also learned some words, learned to knit wool, Mei Lanfang is still wearing the sweater she knitted after the age of 60, thick and warm and hides strong emotions, and later gave birth to 5 sons and 4 daughters.
When Wang Minghua died in 1929, Mei Lanfang died in 1961, mei Lanfang should have been buried in the babaoshan martyrdom, but Fu Zhifang strongly requested that Mei Lanfang be buried in the private land of her family, and still buried with Wang Minghua, and there was also a hole next to it, which she prepared for herself, she planned to sleep here together when the three of them died, and after the death of the stroke in 1980, she was indeed buried on the other side of Mei Lanfang, and Wang Minghua continued to accompany Mei Lanfang.
3. Meng Xiaodong
Meng Xiaodong can be said to be a combination of the advantages of the first two women, in Peking Opera she and Mei Lanfang, one is a famous character, known as the "Winter Emperor", one is a master, countless people praise, so the common language needless to say, accompanying the turbulent displacement is also natural; in appearance, it is even more, Gu Pan between the bright eyes, but also dignified and elegant, playing a man is also no violation, is considered to be the premier figure at that time.
In 1925, in a charity performance in Beijing, Meng Xiaodong and Mei Lanfang met, Meng Xiaodong was 18 years old, and Mei Lanfang was 31 years old, when Mei Lanfang was all big, a bunch of people surrounded him and walked over, without glancing at her, so Meng Xiaodong was very dissatisfied, he wanted to see why he was so bullish, but he watched his "Farewell to the Overlord", and fell, and soon the two were on the same stage face to face.
At that time, there were many people chasing Meng Xiaodong, but Meng Xiaodong was more concerned about Mei Lanfang in this performance, and Mei Lanfang faced such a strange woman, naturally she also fell, at the same time, there were fans at that time, fans were also happy to be together, and these fans were not small, matching the name of "name and qi", married in 1927, but the marriage was not announced.
However, this marriage did not last long, the front is like glue, how chaotic and tortuous it is in the back, the reason is because a fan of Meng Xiaodong accidentally learned that she was married to Mei Lanfang, so he planned to kidnap Mei Lanfang, and the result was mistaken to kill others, and Mei Lanfang was afraid that this matter would affect herself, so she used a house and 20,000 oceans to eliminate the disaster, but this matter was borrowed to play, the Mei family felt that Meng Xiaodong was a disaster star, she was turned into an outer room, and later squeezed out by Fu Zhifang.
So these stories make these characters full and vivid, even if they look at the old photos that are not very clear, they feel that their beauty is so thorough and so moving, how can Mei Lanfang, who understands beauty, refuse?
