From abandoned woman to bank president, she was an inspirational role model in the Republic of China era

The most admirable thing is not a woman who is famous and has a good appearance, but a woman who can cross the world's eyes, turn around gorgeously, and amaze the world. She is the inspirational representative of the women in the Republic of China who gave up marriage but did not give up on herself, she is Zhang Youyi.

Zhang Youyi is Xu Zhimo's original wife, but she is a woman who has been ruthlessly abandoned by him. But Zhang Youyi was able to not give up on herself after the divorce, but worked hard in Germany to study hard, and her soul that did not let her eyebrows and the life experience of breaking the cocoon into a butterfly are very worthy of learning from contemporary women.

"Nothing, Nothing to Fear: The Biography of Zhang Youyi" is a book written by Lin Ximei. The main thing in the book is that Zhang Youyi, who received the traditional ideas of feudalism from childhood, obeyed the orders of her parents at the age of 15 and married Xu Zhimo, who was deeply rooted in democratic and free ideas. After marriage, Xu Zhimo was cold and mean to her, and had no emotion. Later, he fell in love with the talented daughter Lin Huiyin and forced Zhang Youyi to divorce. In desperation, she agreed to the other party's request. And eventually after the divorce, she transformed into a strong and independent female representative.

After the divorce, Zhang Youyi gradually grew into a person who knew how to bravely win self-dignity, work hard, and was not afraid of hardships, and finally realized her self-worth.

I. Western-style civilized divorce case

In the intervention of the third party, in the qualityless married life, in the face of the other half who does not feel the warmth and affection at all, for our long life road, we must bravely and dignifiedly choose to separate from each other. Just like Zhang Youyi in the book.

In the Republic of China era, when the woman was just beginning to awaken, Zhang Youyi was facing Xu Zhimo's disgust and cold violence and he chose to run away from home in order to divorce, leaving Zhang Youyi alone in a foreign country, isolated and helpless.

She wanted to end her life, but she couldn't bear the thought of her body skin, her parents, and her young eldest son. She then contacted her brother and went to Germany after some twists and turns. There, he signed with Xu Zhimo the first Western-style civilized divorce case in Chinese history that came into effect under the Civil Law.

After Xu Zhimo left, Zhang Youyi was able to start thinking about the relationship between her and the other party, and when he proposed divorce again, she did not stubbornly insist on a broken marriage. Rather, she understands that marriage is two people and cannot be maintained by her humble dignity alone. Therefore, when we meet the wrong person, we must abandon the old concept, bravely say goodbye, and complete the first step of self-realization.

Second, studying in Germany, the young son died of illness.

I want to realize myself and be independent. It is not only necessary to bravely break through the shackles in thinking, but also to learn knowledge without fear and hardship in action. Just like Zhang Youyi in the book, she loves learning very much.

She first studied at Suzhou Normal School, but could not continue because she was married. After marriage, she hired a teacher to learn English, geography, Chinese and history.

She also taught herself English before going to the UK. After arriving in Germany, he began to study German assiduously, and for the sake of his childhood dream, he specialized in early childhood education.

But the weather was unpredictable, and her young son unfortunately died of illness. This time, she realized more deeply that she had nothing but self-reliance.

Zhang Youyi once said that before she went to Germany, she was afraid of everything. After going to Germany, there is nothing to fear.

It can be seen that the four years of study experience in Germany, the desire and pursuit of knowledge, have created her strong and independent side. Without these, there would be no career behind her. Nor will she become the president of China's first women's bank.

China's first female banker.

If you want to achieve self-worth, the most important thing is to have your own career. This point is vividly reflected in Zhang Youyi.

She returned to Shanghai from Germany and first taught German at Soochow University. Then he opened his own company as a general manager, tailor-made, and made fashion-avant-garde fashion clothing.

She did not care about the previous suspicions, invited Xu Zhimo Lu Xiaoman and his wife to achieve the celebrity model effect. At this point, let the name of yunsheng company shock the world. Finally, Zhang Youyi was invited by Chen Guangfu, the founder of Shanghai Women's Bank, and Yan Shu, president, to serve as vice president of the bank, becoming the first female banker in China. During her tenure, she tried to turn the tide and quell the run on the women's bank, which was also written into the financial history of Shanghai.

After Zhang Youyi returned from Germany, she was confident, decisive, visionary and innovative. She was no longer the one she had been, who was sniffling. In this way, she is destined to become a legend of the times.

Life is like this, the original unfortunate people, as long as you are strong and hard, the courage to fight, will live their own wonderful. As the saying goes, when God closes a door for you, he must open a window.

After reading the book "Nothing, Nothing to Fear: The Biography of Zhang Youyi", it will stimulate your unprecedented potential and make you have no fear of doing things that you have never thought of before and can do. For you, it is a kind of tempering of life, and it will make you find a new self.
