Compared with the powerful ministers, people are more eager for merchants who are rich and enemy of the country. If this businessman has a place in the literary world, or even a warbler and swallow, and the beauty of the flock, then people's expectations of him will be like flowing water. This time, we will talk about such a person - Liu Xueyuan.
Speaking of Liu Xueyuan, everyone may not be very clear, but everyone must be familiar with his "partner", "partner" is Sun Yat-sen. Speaking of which, you may be surprised, didn't you say that he was a businessman? How did he get in touch with Sun Yat-sen, the leader of the Xinhai Revolution? To answer this question, we must first talk about the first half of Liu Xueyuan's life.
The story should begin with Liu Xuexuan's birth: in 1855, Liu Xuexun fell to the ground in Guhe Village, Sanxiang, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. This place you should be very familiar with him, this is not a fellow with Sun Yat-sen! When this fellow countryman meets, we will talk about it later, and first talk about how Liu Xuexun made his fortune. As we all know, there is a popular gambling activity in Southeast Asia called betting balls, and which team you think can win, bet on which team. Liu Xuexun made a fortune by manipulating similar activities. However, he is not manipulating the gambling ball, called "Min Surname", and the institution that manipulates this activity is called "Min Factory". In fact, in the second "Surname" bidding, he only won six years of the right to undertake, just six years, how rich is he? This question was answered for me by Feng Free, a kuomintang elder, to the effect that both officials and students had to "lean on their noses" (Note 1). Officials and men still flock to them, not to mention the flowers and beauties who covet wealth. Liu Xueyuan also accepted a room after room of concubines, achieving his reputation for affection.
After the development, Liu Xueyuan was in his prime, had great ambitions, and naturally wanted to do something. Liu Xueyuan, who was rich and enemy, and Sun Yat-sen, who had just returned from studying in Japan, met in Macao, and the two talked happily, and later Liu Xueyuan also provided more material assistance to Sun Yat-sen. (Note 2) It is better to say that the arrogant Liu Xueqin is a monarch and a courtier than a relationship between the two of them. This feudal solipsism ran counter to the liberal democracy accepted by Sun Yat-sen, and I think this is one of the reasons why the relationship between the two gradually weakened later. Before the Huizhou Uprising, Sun Yat-sen promised in his letters that Liu Xueyuan could be the ruler (president), and even the title could be made by Liu Xueyuan himself. (Note 3) Although this important letter was not sent for any reason, it is enough to see from this that Sun Yat-sen had a close personal relationship with him, that is, Liu Xuewen's high status in political circles.
Sun Yat-sen lacked Liu Xuexuan's material assistance, and sure enough, the Huizhou Uprising failed. The 45-year-old Liu Xueyuan no longer has the heart to pursue political status, and he chose to return to the Hidden West Lake. Is this place in the West Lake good? You like it, Liu Xueqing also likes it. After more than five years of meticulous design and construction, Liu Xueyuan finally built an exquisite Liu Zhuang by the West Lake. The title of "Liu Zhuang" may be difficult to understand, but if you talk about its remodeled alias West Lake State Guesthouse, I think you will not be unfamiliar. Yes, you heard it right, such a luxurious and even solemn place is Liu Xuegong's residence in his later years, and his financial strength is evident.
Hitting small adults teaches us to go out and pay attention to how to make money. Why? If you have money, you will attract people's attention. Liu Xueyuan's house itself is too luxurious, not to mention that he has an old grudge with the famous minister Kang Youwei, but this house is demolished and built, built and demolished, until Liu Xueyuan's death can not be stopped. As a last resort, Liu Xueyuan's widow donated Liu Zhuang to the government free of charge in 1953, and this house was like Liu Xueyuan himself, who had also experienced wind and rain, and had also experienced glory, so as not to count a trip in the human world, casting Liu Xuexuan's life of "opening and hanging".
