Colorful sleeves are gracious to hold the jade bell. At that time, he was drunk and red. Dance low willow lou heart moon, sing the peach blossom fan bottom wind. "
It is most appropriate to use this poem to describe Tang Ying's life in his youth.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > social flowers under the lights and greenery, showing the limelight</h1>
From the 1920s to the 1940s, Shanghai was the largest city in China and the most prosperous city, known as the "Little Paris of the East". The bustling streets, the staggered night, are full of symbols of progress and civilization.
Shanghainese who love nightlife are even more singing and dancing, drunken fans, and they wander in laughter and song. In this gentle music, graceful dance and the sound of cups, you can always see some female companions dressed in heavy makeup and flowers.
Among these people are singers, dancers, etc., and there is also a kind of sociable and wandering in high society, that is, a woman commonly known as "social flower".
Most of the "social flowers" are mostly bridesmaids from the rich, and they are indispensable assistants in the process of political and business exchanges; of course, there are also various talented women who are not famous, but after systematic and orderly training, they combine talent and beauty.
They are like lubricants in social places, a tassel that whitewashes the peace in the chaotic world.
Among these many "social flowers", the most famous should be Tang Ying.
Tang Ying was born in 1910, his father Tang Nai'an was a foreign student under Gengzi's indemnity, and he was also the first Western doctor in China to stay in the west. Her mother is also a graduate of Jinling Women's University and a talented woman. The couple's education of Tang Ying from an early age was cultivated according to the standards of a famous woman.
Tang Ying received strict tutoring since childhood, especially with some Western-style education, which not only enabled her to read poetry, books and songs, but also to be proficient in English. She has a dedicated etiquette teacher, an English tutor, and a dedicated tailor to customize clothes.
Tang Ying, who grew up richly, has outstanding looks, she is not only graceful, handsome, graceful, sweet voice; talented, but also versatile, good at Kunqu opera.
After Returning to China, Tang Nai'an opened a private clinic in Shanghai for the dignitaries and dignitaries in Shanghai, so the people they came into contact with were at the forefront of fashion.
Tang Ying is well-dressed, avant-garde, using perfumes, clothing, high heels, LV handbags, etc. imported from France, which is a collection of fragrant, avant-garde, handsome, elegant, versatile in one, and later known as the top brand "social flower" with Western style.
At that time, each of her costumes was a bellwether that led the fashion trend of Shanghai's clothing industry, and it is said that her pair of high heels was worth Lu Xun's half a month's salary;

In 1926, the sixteen-year-old Tang Ying officially entered the social circle, commonly known as "debut". And this year, it is also the year that two other social experts are connected together, Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman are finally together in name only.
Tang Ying and Lu Xiaoman became girlfriends because of a drama art conference in 1927, and on the stage of the Central Theater, the two jointly starred in the Kun opera "Picking Paintings" and "Calling Paintings", and the two good sisters sensationalized the whole Shanghai Beach.
Soon after, Tang Ying performed piano and Kunqu opera for the British royal delegation during her visit to China, which made headlines overnight, and she became the number one person in Shanghai's social circle. At that time, she was in the limelight and the most prominent period of her social career.
If the communication circle has the title of "Southern Tang Dynasty and Northern Land", then the fashion industry has to say that there is another outstanding person, that is, Xu Zhimo's ex-wife Zhang Youyi.
After Zhang Youyi was abandoned by Xu Zhimo, after several years of transformation, she decided to return to China to work hard, she opened the first new clothing company in China at that time in Shanghai - Yunsheng Fashion, and it was Tang Ying and Lu Xiaoman who joined this company.
Due to her outstanding taste and attractiveness in fashion, The Yunsheng Fashion Company run by Zhang Youyi also invited Tang Ying as a model. At that time, Linglong magazine even used Tang Ying as a role model for social celebrities to encourage women in the old era to be more knowledgeable.
The clothing company quickly became a fashion icon throughout China, not only with several big names leading the market trend, but also inviting sculptor Jiang Xiaolu as a designer.
Three women in one play, so that Shanghai's fashion style continues to improve.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="32" > although the road of love is not smooth, Tang Ying has always been clear</h1>
Such a beautiful person, of course, is a lot of suitors, but to have a perfect love, a happy marriage, this pair of social flowers is not easy.
Tang Ying has a beautiful appearance, a lively personality, and a slim figure, and indeed there are many suitors, but her love is not smooth, and the first man who makes Tang Ying move is called Yang Xingfo, who is Sun Yat-sen's secretary.
The two favor each other, but Tang Nai'an does not like politicians, he is well aware of the chaos in politics, and does not want his daughter to fall into this environment.
It was Tang Nai'an's resolute opposition that directly strangled the feelings of the two in the cradle. Tang Ying became a well-behaved woman, and later she was spared a difficulty.
Soon after, Tang Ying had a new object of pursuit, and this person was the younger son of the Song family, Song Ziwen, the younger brother of Song Qingling and Song Meiling. He is not only in charge of financial power, but also handsome and golden, the hottest "Diamond King Old Five" on the beach.
However, Tang Ying's father still did not advocate his children's interaction with people in the political circles, and in that turbulent era, a dynasty of heaven and a courtier strongly opposed their interactions. Later, Tang Ying's brother was mistaken for Song Ziwen's assassination, which overshadowed the relationship.
There is no written record to indicate whether Tang Ying ever had Song Ziwen, but it is said that she put the letters written by Song Ziwen to her in the drawer of her room and looked through them from time to time.
Obeying the advice of her parents, Tang Ying soon married Li Zufa, the son of the "Xiaogang Li family" in Ningbo and the Shanghai merchant Li Yunshu. In the eyes of outsiders, the door is right, the golden child and the jade girl, but after marriage, they are not happy.
At this time, Tang Ying and Lu Xiaoman, who had originally married Wang Geng, were in the same dilemma: her husband was a straight man and was extremely bored. And the husband does not agree to the wife going out to show her face, and the career of the social flower is coming to an end.
But a truly intelligent woman doesn't blindly deny herself or change herself to cater to her husband because she doesn't like it. Tang Ying appeared on stage again in 1937 and was still in the limelight.
Her marriage with Li Zufa could not continue, and the two finally signed a divorce agreement peacefully because of their incompatible personalities.
After the divorce, Tang Ying still lives a dashing and happy life, she has her own hobbies and friends, watching dramas, watching movies, food and clothing, and is still full of enthusiasm for life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="49" > meet true love again and be happy for life</h1>
Some people say that Lin Huiyin was the happiest woman in the Republic of China period, with a noble family, excellent lovers, and her own career. However, compared to Tang Ying, it seemed to have lost some of its luster.
After Tang Ying and Li Zufa divorced, they married Rong Xianlin, a nephew who was known as Rong Hong, the father of Chinese students at the time. In the eyes of outsiders, this Rong Gongzi looks and family lineage are not a perfect match, but Tang Ying herself is a rich man, she is not short of money, she values Rong Xianlin's personality: lively and cheerful, humorous and funny.
When the two are together, life is always sweet and sweet, and it is happy and harmonious. Although the husband is only an insurance broker, they still manage their lives with taste.
Perhaps because of the child, or perhaps affected by the war, Tang Ying took the initiative to bid farewell to the stage after marriage and lived the life of a husband and a godson. Although they are all married twice, the re-established family of seven seems to be very harmonious, and the children raised are naturally very good.
In particular, his son Li Mingjue is known as "the titan of contemporary stage design in the world" and "a generation of grandmasters in the American stage design industry".
This happy and uneventful marriage lasted only 25 years, and Rong Xianlin died before Tang Ying. However, the death of her husband did not overshadow Tang Ying's life, Tang Ying's mentality was excellent, and she still lived a good life.
She always arranges her life fully, every day is as exquisite as ever, while accompanying her children, she is also carefully managing her circle of friends, so in her later years, she is not alone, there are family members and friends who drink tea and chat.
When Ang Lee was filming "Color Ring", she once asked Tang Ying's sister Tang Weihong for advice, about the living conditions and etiquette of that era, Tang Weihong talked about her sister and said that she was always smiling, no matter when I saw her.
It was not until 1986 that she died quietly in her New York apartment at the age of seventy-six, and a generation of socialites eventually died.
Tang Ying is the one who really lives out what a famous lady on the beach should look like: she will not be sad because of the failure of love, nor will she shrink back because of the misfortune of marriage.
She dared to find her own happiness, dared to live out her own value, until the last moment of life, she also maintained her composure, and was the real queen.
It can be said that "if there is a poetry book hidden in the heart, the years will never defeat the beauty".
