Gu Zhengqiu is the female disciple of Peking Opera master Mr. Mei Lanfang, who enjoys the reputation of "Taiwan Mei Lanfang" in Taiwan.
If there is no accident, Gu Zhengqiu's future is unlimited.
However, since the ancient red face has a thin life, Gu Zhengqiu's beauty has brought disaster to her.
Gu Zhengqiu was born in Nanjing in 1928, his original name was Ding Lanbao, he lost his father at an early age, and grew up in his grandmother's parents.
The grandmother loves this granddaughter very much, and Gu Zhengqiu is not restrained at the grandmother's house.
Gu Zhengqiu, who has a lively personality, has liked opera since he was a child, and he has a naturally good voice.
In 1939, Gu Zhengqiu was admitted to the Shanghai Theater School's zhengzi class with the first place.
顾正秋学戏刻苦，天赋极佳，初次登台，掌声雷动。
顾正秋优美的唱腔，扎实的基本功，引起了梅兰芳先生的注意，他破格收顾正秋做女弟子，手把手地教她如何唱戏。
With the guidance of his mentor, Gu Zhengqiu made rapid progress, sang better and better, and soon opened up his popularity in Shanghai.
在当时，顾正秋的经常演出的戏有《御碑亭》、《四郎探母》、《宝莲灯》、《红鬃烈马》等，这些都是传统的京剧大戏。
顾正秋在台上艳惊四座，台下更是一片叫好之声。
On the eve of liberation, Gu Zhengqiu took the drama team to the Taipei Yongle Theater for a performance.
在台湾，顾正秋的戏文依然受到追捧，因为她师从梅兰芳先生，表演时处处透着梅兰芳的影子，所以获得了“台湾梅兰芳”的称号。
顾正秋艺色双全，追求她的男人很多，这其中就包括太子爷蒋经国。
蒋经国也是一个京剧迷，他经常来看顾正秋的戏，对顾正秋的美貌更是迷恋不己。
蒋经国一心想娶顾正秋为妻，他甚至不惜违抗父命，要与原配蒋方良离婚。
可是面对蒋经国疯狂的追求，顾正秋却不为所动。
后来，由于时局的变化，顾正秋留在了台湾。
在这段时间里，顾正秋遇到了一个改变她命运的男人，他就是时任台湾省财政厅厅长的任显群。
任显群对顾正秋一见钟情，可他也是一个有家室的人。
当然，在那时的台湾男人还是可以纳妾的，所以任显群想要收顾正秋做二房。
顾正秋对任显群的追求并不拒绝，她经过长时间的了解后，毅然决定跟这个男人在一起。
Years later, Gu Zhengqiu once recalled one by one
"I was not obsessed with Ren Xianqun at first sight, but after I met him, I was attracted by his humorous and bold personality. When I spent time with him, I felt very happy and comfortable, and finally broke through all the difficulties, we came together, and decided to stay together. ”
顾正秋真心喜欢任显群，但是由于正妻的存在，她只能做妾，这不得不说是一种悲哀。
任显群对顾正秋也算是有情，他为了心爱的女人辞去了官职，办了一场隆重的婚礼，风风光光地将她接进了门。
After marriage, Ren Xianqun and Gu Zhengqiu had a good life, but not long after, the great disaster came, and Ren Xianqun was arrested and imprisoned.
任显群被捕的罪名是“包庇匪谍”。
这是一桩两年前的旧案，当事人只被判了一年半，而任显群却被判了七年。
凡是明眼人都能看出来，这是有人故意陷害任显群。
那么陷害任显群的人是谁呢？
Many people speculated that it was Chiang Ching-kuo, and he could not pursue Gu Zhengqiu, so he framed Ren Xianqun and exported evil spirits.
What the truth of the matter is, no one can say.
After Ren Xianqun was arrested and imprisoned, most of his property was confiscated, and Gu Zhengqiu was not Ren Xianqun's wife, but he also had to confiscate his personal property.
As the saying goes, husband and wife are originally the same forest birds, and they fly separately in the face of great trouble, not to mention that Gu Zhengqiu is not Ren Xianqun's wife.
Everyone thinks that Gu Zhengqiu, who is at the peak of his career, will leave Ren Xianqun, and even his family also feels that Gu Zhengqiu will abandon Ren Xianqun.
However, Gu Zhengqiu did not leave Ren Xianqun, she withdrew from the stage, washed away the lead, and lived a hard life.
At that time, Gu Zhengqiu still had many theater fans in Taiwan, and the owners of major theaters also competed to invite her to perform on stage.
"My husband is still in prison, how can I sing again?"
顾正秋拒绝了一切的邀约，她深居简岀，一心等着任显群。
1958年，任显群提前出狱了，可是他不能呆在城里，只能隐姓埋名去农村居住。
30岁的顾正秋为了心爱的男人，毅然决定离开台北去农村生活。
顾正秋与任显群在农村开垦荒地，辛勤劳作，无怨无悔。
就这样，顾正秋与任显群过上了平凡的隐居生活。
此时的顾正秋忘记了自己名伶的身份，她只想做任显群身边的贤妻。
经过几年艰苦的努力，顾正秋与任显群创办了金三农场和中信百货公司。
有了自己的公司后，顾正秋和任显群的日子才好过了一些。
顾正秋与任显群每天忙忙碌碌，卿卿我我，这样的生活似乎也不错。
1978年， 任显群因病去世，临终前他要求顾正秋把自己葬在当年“贫病相守”的金山农村。
伤心的顾正秋含泪答应了任显群的嘱托......
后来，顾正秋在回忆录《休恋逝水》中写道一一
"Man's life comes by chance and goes by necessity; joys and sorrows, ups and downs, honors and disgraces, are all in it." Although there is a 'reputation for not worrying' in life, there is also a 'disaster of seeking perfection', and everything still depends on one's own patience and fate, and cannot be forced. What should be done, I have worked hard to do, worthy of love, and I have truly loved, for the rise and fall of life and death, I have looked down. ”
早己看淡生死荣辱的顾正秋没有再嫁人，她独自一人生活在台湾。
In 2016, Gu Zhengqiu died of illness in Taiwan at the age of 88.
由于任显群的原配妻子章筠倩并没有与任显群解除婚约，而她又禁止顾正秋以及他们的孩子列入任家的家属名册。
所以当在顾正秋去世后，她与任显群合葬的要求没能实现。
顾正秋为任显群放弃了如日中天的事业，离开了自己热爱的京剧舞台，甘愿与心爱的男人去乡下做农民，可到头来还是得不到任家人的认可。
This is Gu Zhengqiu's most regrettable thing, but also the saddest thing.
Rather be a bird in the sky than a small person on the ground, a concubine is always a concubine, and no matter how much you pay, you are also a person without a name.
If Gu Zhengqiu hadn't followed Ren Xianqun, would she have become a leader in Taiwan's Peking Opera industry?
Unfortunately, there is no "if" in this world.
