? Yu Rongling's marriage with Liu Chunlin, the last champion, was not successful, and her life in her later years was miserable.
The last top scholar in China (1872~ 1942) was from Beishibao Village, Suning County, Hebei Province. After winning the first prize in the 30th year of Guangxu reign (1904), the issue of remarriage was put on the agenda, and people proposed to Liu one after another. & gt Suning County, his hometown, belongs to Cangzhou. At that time, there was a family named Zhang in Cangzhou with an unmarried daughter. After many marriages, the Zhang family agreed and happily completed the marriage. At this time, our teacher Yang (former governor of Zhili) also came to intercede. He is talking about Yu Geng's second daughter, who has a good position and reputation. "Daughter of scholars and celebrities" became a popular marriage for some time. & gt Yu Geng, known as "Lord Yu", was a royal aristocrat and served as the ambassador of the Qing Dynasty to Japan and France for many years. He has two daughters, the eldest daughter Yu Deling and the second daughter. 1899, when Yu Geng lived in France, 16 years old, entered the French National Opera House and the Paris Music and Dance School to study ballet. She is clever and diligent. In just one year, her famous dance "Roses and Butterflies" caused a sensation in Paris and became the first ballet dancer in China. 1903, after De Ling and her father returned to China, Empress Dowager Cixi was very fond of these two famous families who had been abroad, so she personally met the two sisters. Seeing that they came from prominent backgrounds and learned both Chinese and western cultures, she left them in the palace to be female officials (maids). From then on, these two maids became the treasures of Empress Dowager Cixi. The existing widely circulated photos of Cixi's life are two maids standing on both sides of Empress Dowager Cixi. & gt Yang was the first to propose to Geng Yu. When he mentioned this marriage to Yu Geng, Yu Geng agreed very much. Yu was overjoyed to hear that his fiance was the first scholar lang who had known each other for a long time. She said, "I know Liu Dianchuan (Liu Chunlin) very well. His fine writing is very good. He used to copy Buddhist scriptures for Lafayette. I have read many of his regular plays, all of which have been rewarded by Lafayette! He won the first prize, and I have a share! Yu Rongling is telling the truth. Before winning the highest prize, Liu Chunlin lived in Beijing for two years to prepare for the exam. After being introduced by the imperial secretary, he copied scriptures for Empress Dowager Cixi many times. )> At that time, the marriage was widely circulated in the society, and people thought it was a success at once. However, unexpectedly, Liu Chunlin's personality stagnated, and he refused decisively and politely. He said to Yang, "I was born in poverty, but I am not even. & gt Although the first marriage proposal was rejected, Yang didn't want to. He tried his best to promote the marriage. Since then, he has been to Liu Chunlin's apartment for many times to persuade, moving with emotion and understanding with reason, which is well-intentioned. However, Liu Chunlin remained unmoved. He confided to Yang: "Teachers pay more attention to their livelihood, but when it comes to marriage, they are as rich as the enemy, and the old people are all famous families, which is beyond their power. It's hard to pay back money after marriage. And if you climb high, you may harm Gege (referring to Yu Rongling) for life in the future. These are all students' ideas. Please politely refuse. " -after repeated persuasion, I saw that my attitude was so firm that I had to give up. Afterwards, he said to people helplessly: "Runqin (Liu Chunlin word Runqin) is pedantic, so be it! "Since then, he has always avoided mentioning that this marriage has not been realized. & gt There is a lot of discussion about this matter. Some people say that Liu Chunlin is pedantic and ignorant, and some people think that Liu Chunlin doesn't understand current affairs, but Liu Chunlin doesn't think so. He said, "Call me pedantic or ignorant of current affairs. I have my own considerations. Although I am Ke Kui, I come from a poor family, but Yu's family is a noble. If marriage is not antagonistic, it will only harm both sides in the future. "Liu Chunlin's moral integrity of choosing a marriage without climbing the ladder and not taking marriage as a medium for promotion ladder has always been praised by future generations. & gt Later, I finally booked Zhang's daughter in Cangzhou. After marriage, husband and wife live in harmony and happiness. Mrs. Zhang also heard that Liu Wan rejected the Yu family's marriage before marriage. She said to Liu Chunlin, "I married you because I admire your integrity, not your reputation." Liu Chunlin wrote 1932 in "Sixty Self-Reports", which recorded this marriage with two poems. He said: "If we don't sublime the highest line, we must learn a lesson. In order to praise Mrs. Zhang's moral character and the beauty of harmony between husband and wife. & gt The marriage between Yu Rongling and Liu Chunlin failed. By 1907, she ended her four-year palace life and went to Shanghai to serve her father. Later, she married General Tang and became very famous in Peiping society in 1930s. She has written two books, ChristianRandPhillips and Notes of the Qing Dynasty. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Premier Zhou Enlai appointed Yu Rongling as the librarian of the State Council Literature and History Museum. In that special era, Yu Rongling's background will naturally suffer a lot. Her Notes on the Qing Dynasty was criticized shortly after the publication of 1957. Especially during the Cultural Revolution, it was doomed. Because she danced ballet in France, it became a crime. She couldn't understand the rebels' inexplicable criticism of her past ballet dancing. In a rage, she broke her leg. 1974, she died of grief at the age of 9 1. & gt
