What kind of love is the most fascinating? Is it the love of Xu Xian and the White Lady across species, or the love of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai beyond identity, or the plain and simple love of Qian Zhongshu and Mr. Yang Dai? The protagonist of today's story is Meng Xiaodong, a generation of opera masters, and the love story of her life is the most moving.
Meng Xiaodong has experienced two loves in his life, both of which are vigorous. The male protagonist of the first love story is Mei Yanfang, who is like-minded with Meng Xiaodong, and the achievements of the two in opera are unmatched. But their story does not have a happy ending, and their tacit understanding of life is far less than that of co-production on the stage.
The male protagonist of the second love story is Du Yuesheng, who and Meng Xiaodong are people on two roads, but the two people who seem to have no common language have walked together for a lifetime. Du Yuesheng's affection for Meng Xiaodong comforted her wounded heart. He pampers the girl who has "withered" in his own way.
On the occasion of Du Yuesheng's death, he gave Meng Xiaodong a tenth of his only 200,000 inheritance. You know, Du Yuesheng's wife and children are numerous, and Meng Xiaodong alone accounts for the majority of the inheritance. It can be seen that he loves and is eccentric about this little wife. Meng Xiaodong also lived up to Du Yuesheng's last wishes, and after he left, he never performed on stage again.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" > the bumpy road with Mei Lanfang</h1>
Meng Xiaodong and Mei Lanfang's acquaintance is because of opera, they perform on the same stage, practice together, and secretly have feelings.
Compared with Meng Xiaodong, Mei Lanfang's fame seems to be greater, but in fact, Meng Xiaodong's achievements in opera are not inferior to Mei Lanfang. Meng Xiaodong was born in a family of pear gardens, and under the influence of his family, he developed a great interest in opera at an early age.
She began practicing the basics at the age of four and formally learning to sing at the age of eight. Talent and sweat created Meng Xiaodong, who won the applause of the whole hall the first time she took the stage, when she was only twelve years old. After his fame, Meng Xiaodong was not proud of this, but practiced the basic skills more diligently.
Although she is a girl, she is unambiguous in her acting. When many boys performed to flip the table, they used the support of the table to roll over, but Meng Xiaodong insisted on flipping in order to perform the effect.
She wore a beard, stepped on the bottom of the flowerpot, flipped over the table, and landed steadily, and her beard was not messy. This is Meng Xiaodong's insistence on art.
It is such a Meng Xiaodong who endured humiliation and burden when he fell in love with Mei Lanfang and suffered a lot of grievances. At that time, Mei Lanfang had a proper wife, and Meng Xiaodong wanted to marry him, only as a concubine, but Meng Xiaodong, who was full of pride, could bear the reputation of a concubine. In order to stabilize her, Mei Lanfang said that she had been passed on to her uncle, so she could marry two wives.
Mei Lanfang did not lie, there was indeed such a tradition at that time, but Mei Lanfang was not only a lover of Meng Xiaodong. The identity of the right wife promised by the mouth, until they broke up, was not fulfilled. Later, Mei Lanfang's mother died, and Meng Xiaodong came to mourn, but was stopped outside the door.
At this moment, she understood that the woman who was pregnant with Liujia and was standing in front of the gate was his second wife. Meng Xiaodong was disheartened, and she quarreled in front of the door in an attempt to awaken Mei Lanfang's love for her.
But at this moment, Mei Lanfang only wanted to calm the situation, and had no time to take care of her feelings, she gambled and lost. Her last shred of dignity was trampled to the point of no return.
From this moment, her love with Mei Lanfang came to an end. In this relationship, Meng Xiaodong used all her strength, but she still did not get Mei Lanfang's pity, and even when she turned to leave, Mei Lanfang did not have a word of retention.

If Mei Lanfang brought Meng Xiaodong a body of pain, then Du Yuesheng was the one who healed her body. In fact, Du Yuesheng's love for Meng Xiaodong did not begin after she broke up, but when she first appeared on stage as a teenager.
At that time, Du Yuesheng would not miss every one of her performances and talked deeply with her after the performance. But at that time, Meng Xiaodong was preoccupied with Mei Lanfang, and did not notice Du Yuesheng's overtures at all. But he didn't mind at all, and just put away his admiration.
Later, Meng Xiaodong broke up and has been languishing, and her good friend invited her to her home as a guest, and Meng Xiaodong agreed. When she arrived in Shanghai, she found out that her good friend was Du Yuesheng's aunt. But as everyone knows, after receiving the news that Meng Xiaodong is going to come to Shanghai as a guest, Du Yuesheng has long been full of expectations and has been looking forward to it for a long time.
In Shanghai, Meng Xiaodong was very happy, but she still wanted to return to Beijing to live.
Du Yuesheng did not restrict her, but only called Mei Lanfang behind her back and asked him to call her as soon as possible the property that should belong to Meng Xiaodong. You must know that Du Yuesheng is a prominent figure in Shanghai, and whoever dares to disobey his orders will basically have no way to live.
Mei Lanfangdong cobbled together forty thousand yuan for Meng Xiaodong, which was not a small amount at that time. Meng Xiaodong returned to Beijing with the money to live a leisurely life.
Du Yuesheng did not terminate the contact with Meng Xiaodong, he knew that Meng Xiaodong liked antiques, and at any cost he went to exchange interesting items and sent them to her in Beijing, just to make her smile. Meng Xiaodong is not a stupid person, she understands Du Yuesheng's intentions, and the two have established a relationship between them.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Du Yuesheng planned to move to Hong Kong with his family, so he specially chartered a private plane to pick up Meng Xiaodong from Beijing and fly with them to Hong Kong. But at this time, Du Yuesheng was already seriously ill and could hardly leave bed.
This is also the reason why he did not marry Meng Xiaodong, he wanted to give her a free body. But once, when Du Yuesheng was applying for a passport and planning to move abroad, Meng Xiaodong complained to him, so did I go with you as a girlfriend or as a maid? Du Yuesheng immediately understood what she meant and began to handle the wedding.
Even though Du Yuesheng was no longer able to get out of bed and stand, he still did his best to give Meng Xiaodong everything he wanted. With the support of others, Du Yuesheng completed the wedding with Meng Xiaodong. Two years later, he left the world without any regrets.

Du Yuesheng knew that he would walk in front of Meng Xiaodong, so he made a lot of plans for Meng Xiaodong, and he first passed on his son to Meng Xiaodong, so that she would not be old and helpless.
In the division of the inheritance, Du Yuesheng also left her sufficient property to support her later life. He only had one request for Meng Xiaodong, that is, he would no longer sing on stage.
Maybe he wanted his wife to look the most beautiful only for him. Meng Xiaodong obeyed his last wish and never appeared on the stage again.
In her later years, her life was not luxurious, but she was also at ease, usually playing mahjong, betting on horses, and occasionally giving lessons to students to earn extra money. She never fell in love again, guarding Du Yuesheng like a jade, the person who was seen by outsiders as a "bandit and hooligan" was her "gentleman".
