<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > Kang youwei's hordes of wives and concubines</h1>
As we all know, Kang Youwei, as a leader of the restoration faction, once advocated equality between men and women and monogamy, but he broke through his own defenses and married six wives and concubines before and after. The age gap between wives and concubines reached more than sixties. Kang Youwei's first wife was named Zhang Yunzhu, who was three years older than Kang Youwei. Although Zhang Yunzhu is not a literate and hyphenated intellectual woman, she keeps the Kang family in an orderly manner in life, so that her husband can devote himself to his career and have no worries.
Young and handsome Kang Youwei
Marrying a chicken with a chicken marrying a dog with a dog, in Zhang Yunzhu's heart, since marrying Kang Youwei, he should support her husband's ideal without hesitation, even if others oppose it, or even if he does not understand it. When Kang Youwei refused to wrap his daughter Kang Tongwei's feet, he instantly "exploded the pot" in the whole clan. In the eyes of the whole people, this behavior is undoubtedly an evil act that violates the ancestral system and goes against heaven. When the whole clan unanimously attacked Kang Youwei's immoral behavior, only his wife Zhang Yunzhu stood up and strongly supported her husband.

Between husband and wife, although Kang Youwei and Zhang Yunzhu gave birth to four sons and a daughter, Kang was more respectful of Zhang and less love and love between husband and wife. Zhang Yunzhu has no complaints or regrets, and has always taken care of her mother-in-law in the name of her daughter-in-law, supported her husband in the name of a wife, and raised her children with the responsibility of a mother. As a woman in the Kang family, Zhang Yunzhu is "diligent all day long, no leisure". Even if the husband leaves his family and flees after the failure of the change. Zhang Yunzhu still did not complain half a word about her husband. When she heard the bad news of her husband's death, she mistook it for true, endured grief, was not afraid of danger, and organized a family to move overnight.
Kang Youwei has been running for ideals all his life, gathering less and leaving more with Zhang Yunzhu, knowing that he owes Zhang too much, but the guilt in his heart has been irreparable. Until Zhang Yunzhu's death in 1922, Kang Youwei personally mourned for his deceased wife, and was extremely sad, writing an altar text: "Forty-seven years of suffering and suffering together with the chaff and mourning the death of the thousand autumns." ”

In 1897, at the age of 39, Kang Youwei married a 17-year-old girl named Liang Suijue. Compared with Zhang Yunzhu, Liang Suijue is not only young and beautiful, full of vitality and vitality, but more importantly, he can read and hyphenate and slightly understand the ink. Unfortunately, the two were married for only one year, and Kang Youwei was forced into exile due to the failure of the change; fortunately, the 18-year-old Liang Suijue was left by Kang Youwei. On the road to escape, although it was full of difficulties and obstacles at all times, but accompanied by Kang Youwei, Liang Sui felt that he had traveled to many countries, increased his insights, and enriched himself.

Later, the painter Wu Changshuo once carved a small Zhuwen seal for Kang Youwei, on which he carved a unique inscription: "The Hundred Days of restoration, the sixteen years of exile, three weeks of the earth, traveled all over the four continents, through thirty-one countries, traveled 600,000 miles." It is no exaggeration to say that Kang Youwei has thus become a super traveler who has visited the world the most and has the most contact with people from all over the world in China's modern history. The people he contacted ranged from ordinary people to rich businessmen, dignitaries, and president Roosevelt of the United States. As a woman who has been with Kang Youwei, Liang Suijue has also become one of the most knowledgeable and traveled to the country in modern Chinese women. She has been left in many countries and places around the world.

Liang Suijue and Kang Youwei had three daughters and a son. After Kang Youwei's death in 1927, everything in the Kang family was run by the shrewd and capable Second Lady Liang Suijue. In 1934, Liang Suijue followed his son Kang Tongchi and grandson Kang Baoyan to settle in Taiwan. In 1969, Liang Suijue died at the age of 89. As Kang Youwei's wife, she supported her husband's ideals and careers all her life, and cherished and loved every word of her husband. Although the couple is 22 years apart, because of love and respect, the two get along harmoniously and are very fond of each other.

Kang Youwei has a charm that becomes more lethal to young girls as he gets older, which stems from Kang Youwei's elegant demeanor, profound thoughts, and profound knowledge. Therefore, in 1907, when the 50-year-old Kang Youwei was on a lecture tour in the United States, a 17-year-old girl in the audience was deeply impressed by the charm of Kang Youwei on the stage. This young girl who was obsessed with Kang Youwei was named He Xuli, the character Jinlan, a overseas Chinese in the United States. After several exchanges, the two felt that they hated each other even more. Only 17-year-old He Xuli's speech and demeanor, insight and insight, let Kang Youwei greatly amazed. Tacit words, common ideals, and the same frequency of thoughts have made the two people feel affection for each other across the age line. Despite the obstacles, the two eventually became family members. However, this relationship of consent and relationship lasted only 7 years. In 1915, at the age of 24, He Xuli unfortunately died of a bloody fever in Shanghai. Kang Youwei was extremely sad, and often reminisced, and whenever the festival day and Qingming were celebrated, he would come to the cemetery in person and weep and cry.

In 1911, when Yasuyuki went into exile in Japan, he hired a 16-year-old girl named Tsuruko Ichioka as a servant. Kang Youwei has a long-term affection for him, in order to give a name. Two years later, the 54-year-old Kang Youwei took in the 18-year-old Ichioka Tsuruko to make a fourth room. After that, the strange changes in feelings are surprising and surprising. Crane zi actually has a bad love affair with Kang Youwei's son Kang Tongzhen, who is about the same age. At the age of 28, Tsuruko became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter named Lingzi after returning to Japan. Whether Ling Zi is Kang Youwei's granddaughter or daughter, in 1974, the seventy-year-old Ichioka Tsuruko committed suicide on a suburban track not far from the "Fenyu Garden" in Suma, becoming an eternal mystery.

Kang Youwei's career as a concubine did not end. Just in 1915, the 58-year-old Kang Youwei married his fifth aunt, Tai Liao Dingzheng. The two had a daughter. This woman was connected with her father, and only a few days after Kang Youwei's death, she unfortunately died at the age of twelve.
Kang Youwei's last aunt was named Zhang Guang. In 1919, the 62-year-old Kang Youwei was boating on the shore of West Lake, and happened to meet Zhang Guang, a woman with Huansha in the West Lake. The two did not say a word, only glanced at it, that is, they were deeply attracted by Zhang Guang's allure. Kang Youwei relied on his status, money, and influence to launch a fierce pursuit of 19-year-old Zhang Guang. Friends did not dare to persuade each other, children did not dare to stop, the year of the flower armor Kang Youwei iron heart, will let Zhang Guang become his sixth room. In order to win Zhang Guang's heart, Kang Youwei promised to hold a grand wedding for him in Shanghai, and when marrying Zhang Guang, Kang Youwei's children needed to avoid it. Zhang Guang was indeed innocent and lovely, bringing infinite happiness to Kang Youwei in his later years.

Kang Youwei and his wife and concubine had a total of 12 children, but only two sons and four daughters really grew up, and then they were scattered. At present, Kang Youwei's descendants are numerous, and scattered all over the world, and most of those who stay in China are obscure, and their lives are plain and bitter, and there is no dispute with the world. The descendants scattered abroad began to emerge and gradually became known to the world.
The eldest daughter, Kang Tongwei, was born to the original Zhang Yunzhu. In 1899, the 21-year-old Kang Tongwei married Kang Youwei's apprentice, the famous opera writer Mai Zhonghua, in Hong Kong. Together, the two had as many as eleven children. One of his sons, Mai Yuzeng, became a famous architect in Hong Kong, not only designing many famous buildings in Hong Kong, but even the stone lion outside the Bank of China was also from him. Mai yu once moved to Australia with his family. His son, Mak Ji-fai, was admitted to the University of Melbourne and worked as an engineer after graduation, then as a math and science teacher.
In his later years, Kang Tongwei and her husband Mai Zhonghua
Mak Jihui married an Australian woman. In 1995, the duo's daughter was born in Melbourne, Australia. The couple named their daughter Gronia Somerville, and the father, Mai Jihui, gave her a Chinese name Kang Rongya to let her daughter remember her origins. From the lineage of Kang Youwei - Kang Tongwei - Mai Yuzeng - Mai Jihui - Kang Rongya, we can clearly analyze the blood relationship between Kang Youwei and Kang Rongya. Neither is what netizens said, Kang Rongya is Kang Youwei's great-grandson, let alone what netizens commented, and the two can't fight with eight rods. To be precise, Kang Rongya is Kang Youwei's granddaughter, which is commonly referred to as the fourth granddaughter.
Kang Rongya
Because his father Mai Jihui left kang Rongya when he was a child. Therefore, Kang Rongya learned about his origins from his mother. Kang Rongya recalled, "When I was young, my mother often took a history book and told me the story of my grandfather, who said that my grandfather was a very famous revolutionary in history and a calligrapher. ”
Kang Rongya has been a beautiful billet since she was a child. In elementary school, she became a tv advertising model for her outstanding appearance, and in 2008, the Australian Badminton Association planned to select badminton seedlings from 10 to 13-year-old children in Melbourne schools. At that time, the number of applicants reached more than 200 people, and Kang Rongya stood out from these more than 200 people. At first, she couldn't even serve, but after a short training session, Kang was able to play a few rounds with the Olympics. Talent and hard work have allowed Kang Rongya to make great strides in badminton training. In 2002, at the age of 17, Kang Rongya represented Australia in the Uber Cup. She became the youngest player on the field.
Kang Rongya on the field
Since 2014, Kang Rongya won the first women's doubles title in intercontinental events, and has been out of control ever since. From 2015 to 2020, she won the women's doubles competition in the event for five consecutive years, and won the mixed doubles championship twice in 2019 and 2020. Her excellent results qualified her to represent Australia at the Tokyo Olympics. When she appeared on the field, her achievements were overshadowed by her looks and temperament. With her beautiful appearance and temperament, in school, she was recognized as a school flower, there were many suitors around her, some people wrote letters, some people gave gifts, but they were rejected by Kang Rongya. Later, after entering the national team, Kang Rongya was named the team flower and became the brightest new star in the Australian badminton team.
Kang Rongya was interviewed
At the same time, because her mother is a researcher of "Dream of the Red Chamber", this makes Kang Rongya a red fan from an early age. Therefore, at the end of 2011, the "Dream of the Red Chamber Character Global Election" was launched, and 17-year-old Kang Rongya, with grace and self-confidence, and his obsession with "Dream of the Red Chamber", successfully stood out from countless candidates at home and abroad, becoming the first "police fairy" in the dream of the Red Chamber.
The beauty of kang rongya in the sky
For such an excellent girl, many outstanding young people in China hope to lead Kang Rongya back to her "hometown" through marriage. Unfortunately, the 26-year-old Kang Rongya already has an excellent boyfriend by his side. Her boyfriend, a New Zealander two years older than her, met while playing badminton. Even so, we still hope that she will often visit her grandfather's hometown. After all, the same lineage of blood flows through the body and in the heart.
