She was a Qing Dynasty Gege, changed her name and surname to live until 2014, and tearfully told the royal scandal before her death
"Thousands of years of success or failure are dusty, and the world is said to be a husband", this is the history of the Southern Song Dynasty literati, which is heroic and insightful, and points out the essence of all the dynastic changes in the past and the present.
The success or failure of the millennium dynasty has finally become a pile of dust under the wash of history. As the last feudal dynasty on the land of China collapsed in the voice of the masses, the imperial system, which had lasted for more than two thousand years, finally entered the grave. China's history has entered a new era.
At the same time, the lives of the former royal nobles have also undergone tremendous changes under the impact of the tide of the times, they have suddenly fallen from the former people to the dust, and many people have lost their money and can only live by selling their ancestral property. In order to survive, some people change their names and surnames, but they still can't avoid the fate of ups and downs in social changes.
Jin Moyu, known as the "last Gege of the Qing Dynasty", is such a descendant of the Qing Dynasty royal family who has suffered from the frost of life, she was born in the prince's palace in 1918, died in the new society in 2014, and witnessed a century of personnel ups and downs. So what kind of story does she have?
The last personality of the personality of the last grid
In 1918, a full six years after Emperor Xuantong's abdication, a little girl was born in the residence of Prince Su in exile in the northeast, and she was Prince Su's youngest daughter, Ai Xinjueluo Xianqi, whose Han name was Jin Moyu.
At that time, the outside society was already a new atmosphere, but in the dreary royal palace, Jin Moyu's words and deeds still had to follow the norms of the Qing Dynasty, the pendant of the jewelry on his head could not be shaken between actions, he could not go to the food farther away from him when eating, and when he saw the elders of the same clan, he had to meticulously ask for courtesy and greetings according to etiquette.
Prince Su spent his life trying to restore the rule of the Qing Dynasty, but until his death did not achieve tangible results, a month after his death, his fourth concubine, that is, Jin Moyu's birth mother, also passed away, at this time Jin Moyu was a 4-year-old girl, who had to grow up under the care of several sisters.
As Jin Moyu grew up, the restless factors in her bones gradually became prominent. She did not want to stay in the courtyard of the deep mansion for the rest of her life, nor did she look down on her brothers for achieving nothing, relying only on the ancestral property of Prince Su's palace. She wants to go out and work, whether as a journalist or a singer, the most important thing is to live freely.
This idea of hers seemed undoubtedly deviant to the people of the royal palace, how could the gege of the royal palace go out and show her face like a city woman? But how stubborn Jin Moyu is willing to obey the constraints of her family, she relied on her experience of studying in Japan, found a consultant job in a company, the salary is not low, the work is very idle, just alloy Moyu's intentions.
At this time, Jin Moyu had no concept of money at all, her monthly salary had not yet been received, she had already been prepaid, and after work, she invited female colleagues to go out to dinner together. This is probably the most willful and indulgent period of Jin Moyu's life, there is no financial trouble, and she has got rid of the shackles of her family, carefree and relaxed.
But unfortunately, this period of time seems to be the only splendid period of Jin Moyu's life, and in the rest of the years, what greets this Gege is continuous suffering.
New disasters solve old problems
The fallen nobles originally relied on their ancestral inheritance to sit and eat the mountains and the air, coupled with Jin Moyu's brothers who cultivated a noble habit and squandered, Prince Su's inheritance was soon destroyed, and when the brothers left the capital in 1949, only 100 yuan was distributed to Jin Moyu, and Jin Moyu needed to bear the burden of life for a family of nine.
Gege, who has enjoyed half a life in the golden jade nest, experienced for the first time the embarrassment of having no money in her hands, and in order to be able to maintain her life, she sold the belongings of her family, knitted sweaters for people, and even helped people wash clothes. However, Jin Moyu, who enjoyed half a life, had no life experience at all, a pile of fine fur coats sold less than one piece of clothing, and used high-quality soap when washing clothes for people, and the money earned was not enough to buy soap. In short, after a toss,, life not only has no improvement, but it is more difficult.
It wasn't until Jin Moyu opened a restaurant with money sent by his brother that life was stable, and later in a public-private partnership, Jin Moyu was admitted to the Central Compilation Bureau with a Japanese background, with a fixed salary every month, and then under the introduction of others, he married a prestigious painter.
Seeing that life was changing in a good direction, Jin Moyu was happy in his heart, but soon, a bigger disaster came. Because he was born in the royal palace and studied in Japan, Jin Moyu was constantly exposed and criticized by people. She continued to explain and explain the problem, but the darker it became, in 1958, Jin Moyu was arrested and imprisoned for "Litong Foreign".
Of course, this is a senseless disaster for Jin Moyu, but the only thing Jin Moyu who was sentenced to prison can do is to work hard in prison, reform well, and wash the imprint of his family lineage on his body with sweat and action. However, the situation outside is getting tighter and tighter, and the problem did not end after she was imprisoned, and in order to avoid harming others, she endured a divorce from her husband in prison.
Face the rest of your life optimistically
At the end of more than a decade in prison, Jin was dying of old age and was sent to work on a farm, where she met her honest and loyal second husband.
In 1979, Jin Moyu had settled down on the farm, raising chickens and ducks, and living a clean life. However, the crimes of Litong's foreign countries are still a mountain that weighs on Jin Moyu. At that time, under the auspices of the Central Committee, many people were rehabilitated, and with the encouragement of her husband, Jin Moyu also wrote down her grievances and sent them to the Central Committee.
The letter was not long after it was sent, and after an investigation, Jin Moyu's charges were overturned, and his life was greatly improved. Jin Moyu, who has suffered half a life, is still very optimistic about life, and she and her husband have devoted all their energy to charity and education.
In 2014, Jin Moyu completed his life. Before dying, she tearfully combed through her life, saying that all her sufferings came from the origin of the royal palace and her sister Yoshiko Kawashima. This involved a scandal in the late Qing Dynasty, when Prince Su, in order to gain the support of the Japanese, gave one of his daughters to the Japanese, who was later trained by the Japanese to become a spy and committed numerous crimes in the War of Resistance Against Japan, that is, the widely despised female traitor Kawashima Yoshiko.
Although Jin Moyu did not have much contact with this titular sister, this relationship became a shadow of her life and the source of all her suffering.
epilogue:
Jin Moyu was born in the feudal and conservative old royal palace, and his life was full of suffering. But this old man who has experienced the impermanence of the world has always been able to face life with an optimistic attitude, and after being hurt, he can still hold out the most sincere smile, which is undoubtedly valuable and worth learning.
