<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >introduction:</h1>
In the early years of the Republic of China, there was a saying in the three cultural core circles of Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai.
Zhang Boju, Zhang Xueliang, Pu Dong and Yuan Kewen are the most legendary children of the giants. The four of them have their own style, and they are called the four princes of the Republic of China.
Among these four people, the longest-lived person is none other than the national hero Zhang Xueliang, and the young marshal who died at the age of 100 years has practiced the word patriotism with his life. In his own words, it was.
If we, the father and son of the Zhang family, were not for patriotism, would we have such an end?
Compared with Zhang Xueliang's longevity, Yuan Kewen, who is also one of the four sons, is finally 42 years old, and is undoubtedly a person with a short life.
(The Fourth Duke of the Republic of China)
However, his legend is not worse than Zhang Xueliang in many ways.
Whether it is poetry and song, calligraphy and painting, Beijing-Kunqin music, and book collection, he is proficient in everything.
In addition to his talent, he was also a social celebrity, who was praised by everyone in black and white, from the royal family down to the prostitutes.
On the day of his death, the funeral procession reached more than 4,000, of which nearly a thousand prostitutes voluntarily tied white ropes to pay homage to the spirits, which became a legend of the Republic of China.
What did he do to keep countless people concerned and nearly a thousand prostitutes buried?
(Yuan Shikai's family)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="82" > one: the rich and noble</h1>
On August 30, 1890, a child was born in Korea.
This child is Yuan Kewen, his father is the famous Yuan Shikai, and his mother is the Kim family from the Korean tycoon.
At that time, Yuan Shikai was appointed by the Qing government to rule Korea against the infiltration of Tsarist Russia and Japan into Korea.
Half a year ago, Li Hongzhang also entrusted people to send him: bloody loyalty, wisdom and sensitivity, strive to hold the overall situation, and make comments that are difficult for him.
The smooth end of his career, the arrival of a child, made Yuan Shikai even happier.
Nominally speaking, although Yuan Kewen was born to a concubine of the Jin clan, he was passed on to Yuan Shikai's most favored but infertile aunt Shen Shi as a son.
The young Yuan Kewen and Yuan Shikai are quite similar, with a stubborn nature, and although they read a lot, they do not read many serious books.
Occasionally reading a book, you can see ten lines at a glance, never forget, incomparably intelligent, is Yuan Kewen's label.
Yuan Kewen, who inherited his mother's outstanding appearance genes, is also a talent, so he is deeply loved by Yuan Shikai.
The only pity is that this noble son who was born into a rich family has no interest in politics at all.
(Yuan Kewen and Yuan Shikai)
In 1916, yuan shikai, who was full of pride, was preparing to ascend the throne and become emperor. At the "Grand Ceremony Preparatory Office", a happy Yuan Shikai gave each of his sons a "royal dress" of exquisite quality and incomparable magnificence.
Looking at this gorgeous "imperial dress", Yuan Shikai's other sons were overjoyed and eager to put on their bodies, but Yuan Kewen showed special coldness to this dress.
Yuan Kewen, who advocated a free life, later ran to Shanghai alone in order to avoid the political responsibility given by his father and brother.
Running to Shanghai without saying anything, he also worshiped Zhang Shanting, the boss of the Qinggang, as a teacher, and became the "big" character leader in the Qinggang and the leader of the Tianjin Gang.
It's just that Yuan Kewen, who became the leader of the Green Gang, still doesn't do the right thing, fighting, killing, killing, and killing, and the most he does is actually to use the position of the leader of the Green Gang to help people solve problems.
This style is very much the shadow of Song Jiang's eagerness to be righteous and righteous, and to fight righteousness and loose wealth.
(Yuan Ke Calligraphy)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="83" > two: unparalleled talent</h1>
Yuan Kewen has been a famous teacher and professor since he was a child, plus he is talented and intelligent, even if he does not do a lot of hobbies, he is still versatile and writes a good article.
The article is well written, so that Yuan Kewen, the name of the article is far and wide, so that many columns, newspapers, magazines, ah, are rare his articles.
As long as Yuan Kewen publishes articles, it will definitely drive sales, making Yuan Kewen a celebrity in the cultural circle.
In addition to writing well, Yuan Kewen also has a wide range of hobbies, poetry, song, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can be described as proficient.
Wherever you go, you can improvise and win the lottery.
According to the saying at that time, Yuan Kewen Yuan Gongzi, if he was shy in his pocket, as long as he hung up a pen, there were countless big people willing to pay for it with a splash of ink, in exchange for countless gold and silver.
With the money exchanged for this talent, he often spent thousands of dollars to buy various collectibles, becoming a generation of collectors.
In addition to calligraphy and painting, in addition to the collection, Yuan Kewen is also a famous Beijing-Kunming ticket holder, often performing in person, and he does not feel that there is anything wrong with doing drama.
In the lower nine streams of drama, he does a good job, not to mention, his performance is also a ticket is difficult to find.
The tracks he guest starred in would give himself a title: Hanyun Master.
People who have listened to the play for a long time know that this name represents Yuan Kewen, and as soon as the advertisement goes out, the theater will be overcrowded.
(Friends of Women)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="86" > three: the wind and moon are boundless</h1>
In addition to being born noble and boundlessly talented, Yuan Kewen's most talked about is undoubtedly the boundless wind and moon.
Yuan Kewen, who has no wind and moon, is not a good husband.
At the age of 17, he married Liu Meizhen, the daughter of Liu Shangwen, an alternate in Tianjin.
After marriage, the little couple has a period of loving days, but this day is not long, and there are many problems with the two people who seem to be in love.
This problem mainly comes from Yuan Kewen's absurdity.
According to Yuan Kewen's third sister Yuan Jingxue, his brother Yuan Kewen was a restless person.
His absurd life, which began at the age of fifteen or sixteen, often did not come back all night, and the eldest aunt, Tai Shen, was obedient to him and helped him hide it.
The family connived, the wife acquiesced, and he liked it.
Yuan Kewen, who was a mercurial person, learned the habit of taking concubines from his father, and there were as many as five concubines with names, surnames, and names, named: Xiao Taohong, Yu Peiwen, Ya Xian, Xue Liqing, and Tang Zhijun.
In addition to the five famous people, there are even more mistresses without names and no points.
According to the account at the time, this nameless lover had about seventy or eighty looks.
Yuan Kewen, who loves women, is a gentleman and is also deeply loved by women.
The longest relationship with Yuan Kewen was a woman named Tang Zhijun, and the two of them lived together in Shanghai for many years.
But even after living together for many years, Yuan Kewen still forgot Tang Zhijun after going to Tianjin, and instead continued to talk with the new huan Zhu Yuezhen and Xiao Guihong.
Will a person who is so abusive really like countless women? The answer, of course, is no!
Although Yuan Kewen is extremely affectionate, he is still a man of temperament, affectionate but not debauched, never approaching kabuki at will, and is also cautious in the face of friends' wives and concubines, and never exceeds the rules.
Even if he goes to the Qinglou to eat wine and look for a confidant with a red face, he is also polite, making people extremely comfortable, and he can't see any frivolity.
His frankness, courtesy and open-mindedness have made countless women obsessed with him and cannot be hated.
Because as long as the woman who is willing to be with him knows that this man has such a disposition.
Yuan Kewen, who was deeply admired, became the love robbery of countless women in that era.
(Woman's Love Robbery)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="88" > four: penniless but beautiful</h1>
On March 22, 1931, Yuan Kewen, who had been in the wind all his life, died in his Tianjin apartment at the age of 42.
After his death, the family traveled through countless places in order to prepare for the funeral, and finally found 20 yuan in the pen holder on Yuan Ke's desk.
This 20 yuan is enough to celebrate the cost, but this is the whole legacy left by the talented man.
Looking at this legacy, the whole family is even more sad.
A wanderer is gone, leaving behind a ruined old house.
Fortunately, Yuan Kewen, who has friends all over the world, is not in a bad way, and the Green Gang has arranged his funeral and let him go out of the funeral.
On the day of the funeral, there were more than 4,000 disciples and grandchildren who came to mourn, plus various friends, monks, Taoists, nuns, lamas, and even countless women with good faces and unknown origins.
Yuan Kewen, who is penniless, behind the scenery and burial, is the end of a generation of noble princes.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="89" > epilogue:</h1>
On the day of the funeral, Yuan Kewen's good friend, Zhang Boju, who was also the fourth son of the Republic of China, wrote such a pair of elegies.
The end of the world has fallen, the homeland is desolate, there is wine and singing, who pities the old king and grandson, the new pavilion weeps.
The grass is miserable, the sun is dim, the spring is repeatedly injured and died, and the boundless wind and moon are endured, so the country.
This is the phrase in the "Jade Plum Blossom Order", which is originally the work of Yuan Kewen.
The deep affection expressed in the work is not a portrayal of a seemingly absurd person, whose heart is depressed.
Zhang Boju used this as a link, perhaps Yuan Kewen, who knew how to be open-minded and debauched all his life, had a little sadness in his heart.
Yuan Kewen is, after all, the son of Yuan Shikai.
His absurdity and non-absurdity are all related to this identity.
