Talented women in history
1928 On April19, a cruise ship named "Queen of Canada" was sailing from Hong Kong to Shanghai. Suddenly, a woman with a good face, haggard face and strange behavior came out of the cabin. She said to the passengers on the bus, "It is better to live in disgrace in this dark society than to die." Other passengers looked at the strange woman inexplicably.

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, there was a sudden commotion in the boat. It turned out that this woman committed suicide by jumping into the sea. Later, it was found that she left two letters before jumping into the sea, one for her lover and one for the female compatriots all over the country.

Who is this woman who committed suicide? She is Yu Meiyan, a talented woman of the Republic of China who is only 3 1 year old.

There are many legends about her. "Republic of China Daily" published an article: "Yu Meiyan, a native of Dihai, Taishan, never dreamed of it. Because of her generous and dissolute nature, people call her a strange girl. Young people haven't read classics and history, but they talk to people and talk about it. "

Some people even think that she is a representative of women in the Republic of China and an avant-garde girl who pursues freedom: "She was born in a wealthy family and lived a quiet and luxurious life, but because her husband was away on business, she couldn't bear loneliness and went out to look for' sexual happiness'; She has slept with 3000 men and likes to sleep naked in hotels. She was the first pioneer of "body writing" in the Republic of China. She not only printed her lover's love letter into a book, but also widely publicized it and became a popular best seller at that time. At the age of 28, she saw through the world, fled into an empty net, but could not understand the situation, and finally committed suicide by jumping into the sea ... "

These statements are exaggerated and even somewhat curious. So, put aside the fog of history, what kind of woman is Yu Meiyan?

It is true that Yu Meiyan was born in Dihai, Taishan, but her father is not a "wealthy businessman" as rumored, but a man in a pawn shop in Guangzhou. His monthly income is only 40 yuan, which is only enough for a family.

Yu Meiyan's parents are very open-minded. Although life is difficult, they still insist on letting their daughter study. She is clever and eloquent. 65,438+03 years old, wrote a decent article. At the age of 65,438+05, she could write poems and become a talented woman.

Although Yu Meiyan was born in a poor family, he has a strong heart. He competes with boys for everything. When he was in middle school, he even swam with boys. He also represented the school in the joint sports meeting held in Taishan County at that time.

Yu Meiyan, 17 years old, became pure and beautiful. With his outstanding performance in the sports meeting, he immediately became the focus of the sports meeting. He happened to be seen by Tan Zuxiang, the son of a wealthy businessman in Kaiping County, and was shocked by nature, so he tried his best to make people match. Mei Yan's parents thought the other was a rich boy, so they agreed to the marriage.

In fact, before meeting Tan Zuxiang, there was a young man named "Bohai Jiushao" who was also pursuing Yu Meiyan. Although Yu Meiyan also liked "Bohai Nine Little", Yu Meiyan broke off the relationship with "Bohai Nine Little" because he was engaged to Tan Zuxiang and his parents could not disobey his orders.

After Yu Meiyan reluctantly married Tan Zuxiang, Tan Zuxiang touched Yu Meiyan with his warmth, and they had a sweet time together.

But shortly after his wedding, Tan Zuxiang received a telegram from abroad, urging him to rush to the United States to handle business immediately. Yu Meiyan also wants to go abroad with her husband, but the Tan family doesn't agree. Tan Zuxiang bid farewell to Yu Meiyan. This trip is a long one for Qianshan.

Yu Meiyan, a well-educated woman, didn't want to live a widow's life, so she wrote to her husband. But her husband's whereabouts are uncertain, sometimes in America and sometimes in Nanyang. At first, he replied to a letter, and gradually, there was no news. She felt that her husband had abandoned herself, and on countless nights, she felt that she had become a victim of this marriage.

After all, Yu Meiyan received many years of new education, and her mother-in-law died, which made her out of control, so she quietly left home and went to Guangzhou.

Who knows that he was jailed as soon as he arrived in Guangzhou, was arrested by the police as a suspicious person, and was later released on bail by his relatives. After the Tan family learned the news, they took their father to court. Her father chased Guangzhou and reported his own daughter to the police station. Yu Meiyan was sentenced to work in the workshop for one year.

The world is dark and my father is heartless, which sowed the seeds of social rebellion in Yu Meiyan's heart.

After coming out of the workshop, Yu Meiyan left Guangzhou and traveled to Hongkong, Shanghai, Europe, Nanyang, Annan, Myanmar and India ... Wherever he went, he always had a lover. At that time, Tan Zuxiang advised her to go to America, but she ignored it.

At this time, Yu Meiyan has become a social butterfly in officialdom and business circles.

A few years later, Yu Meiyan was tired of this idle life. She also has the idea of getting married. It is said that Jiu Shao, a girlhood lover, still loves her, but she was opposed by the whole family of Jiu Shao, Bohai. It's still hard for lovers to get married.

Yu Meiyan was disheartened and felt that life was really meaningless, so he went to Castle Peak Temple in Kowloon to become a monk. As a result, the news spread like wildfire, and people came to Qingshan Temple to see her in an endless stream. The host thought it was against the rules and regulations, so he kicked her out of the temple. In this case, Yu Meiyan finally committed suicide.
