I'm San Shao, and I'll answer.

My daughter is gone forever, and the legendary Du Yuesheng has almost no property! 195 1 In the early autumn, Du Zaixiang, a 63-year-old gangster who once dominated Shanghai, died of illness.

One year before his death, Du, who had been lying on his deathbed for a long time, insisted on others' help and made up a wedding with his fifth wife, Meng Xiaodong, regardless of all opposition.

Meng Xiaodong, proud all his life, has a real home!

Xiaodong Meng (1907- 1977), a native of Wanping, Beijing, was a famous Peking Opera actor during the Republic of China, and was known as the "Winter Emperor". He was born in a famous opera family, studied under the master of Peking Opera, and was one of the outstanding successors of Yu School.

Xiao Dong, born smart and beautiful, with noble temperament, is an idol in the eyes of many powerful children!

Gang boss Du is also a big fan of Xiaodong. Most of his life has been around Xiaodong, especially in the emotional world, Xiaodong occupies an important position.

Du has secretly loved Meng Xiaodong since 1925. After that, it took him more than 20 years to finally touch Meng Xiaodong!

Du, a local tyrant who used to spend money like water in Shanghai, once had wealth that countless people longed for and could not reach. He didn't have much money.

On his deathbed, he burned all the IOUs, leaving only some property.

His legacy has two parts. One part is his $654.38 million, and the other part is the $70,000 he has been hiding under his pillow.

Meng Xiaodong, the woman Du spent the rest of her life loving, finally got about $20,000.

Meng Xiaodong has a rough life! In this indifferent and turbulent society, through ups and downs, only Du always appreciates her and accompanies her.

Meng Xiaodong took the gold watch chain that Du had worn for many years and left the fragmented Du Mansion as a last wish!

Although Du was told to take good care of Meng Xiaodong who had no children, after Du's death, everyone went their separate ways.

Mrs. Du, Yao Yulan, served in Taiwan Province Province and buried Du Yuesheng in Sunseeker. Meng Xiaodong stayed in Hong Kong.

In June165438+1October of the same year, Xiaodong Meng moved out of the Du House in Kennedy Terrace 18 and moved into the Causeway Bay Embassy Building for seclusion.

In Hong Kong, she has always been alone, accompanied by only three dogs.

She doesn't drink, but she gives her three dogs three nice wine names: brandy, champagne and whisky!

Usually, she doesn't like make-up. She wears a cloth cheongsam and flat shoes, with slightly white hair and a lifeless bun behind her head.

No one can believe that this simple and ordinary old lady was the "Winter Emperor" sought after by countless people!

She gets up occasionally to sing a few words. But more often, she sat alone under an old tree, watching three dogs frolicking on the sunny lawn not far away, silently staring blankly, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Sometimes, Meng Xiaodong will invite some friends to come home, play mahjong several times and tell jokes to make the family lively.

Yes, Meng Xiaodong played mahjong, walked his dog, watched TV and practiced Tai Ji Chuan during his dull days in Hong Kong, but he just didn't sing opera!

At that time, Hong Kong's "Beautiful Voice" asked her to pay HK$100000 for recording, but she refused. There were also many people who wanted her to perform on stage, but she refused.

After the founding of New China, Premier Zhou repeatedly appointed Zhang to Hong Kong to do Meng Xiaodong's work and advised her to return home, but Meng Xiaodong declined!

At that time, Meng Xiaodong was very proud, even though he was not very rich!

It was ok for young women to come out to sing in operas in those days. But if you marry someone, you have to do your duty, and it will be disgraceful for your husband to show his face again.

For Du's affection for her, Meng Xiaodong never sang in public again!

A scholar dies as a bosom friend, and a woman is her lover. The same is true of singing opera. What's the point of singing without a confidant? !

1956, Mei Lanfang took a delegation to Japan, passing through Hong Kong, and Mei Lanfang took a bus to Meng Xiaodong's residence to visit her. This is the first time that Mei Lanfang and Meng Xiaodong met after 1927 broke up, and it is also the last time in their lives!

Friendship with the great painter Zhang Daqian The famous painter was also a Beijing opera lover all his life. 195 1 year, Zhang Daqian, wearing a gown, returned to Hong Kong from abroad and paid a special visit to Meng Xiaodong in the embassy building.

It is said that on that day, because of Meng Xiaodong's devotion to Buddha, Zhang Daqian drew a Buddha statue.

At the same time, she also agreed to Zhang Daqian's request. Wang Ruizhi played the piano, sang a masterpiece as an exception, and made a tape for Zhang Daqian to take a group photo with 10 participants.

1962, Hong Kong City Hall was completed. In May, "Zhang Daqian Art Exhibition" was held in Hong Kong Museum. Zhang Daqian is back in Hongkong. Zhang Daqian made a special trip to visit his friend Meng Xiaodong in modern Taiwan Province.

However, after 10 years, Zhang Daqian's beard, once again having dinner, taking photos and listening to songs, is no longer as dark as it was then. Meng Xiaodong, who sings, has long had fuzzy white hair and vicissitudes!

Time, heartless!

How did Meng Xiaodong make a living in his later years? After Du's death, Xiaodong Meng inherited $20,000. At that time, $20,000 was not small enough for Meng Xiaodong to spend a long time.

At the beginning, Meng Xiaodong, who had been proud all her life, realized that women should have their own careers anyway after ending her marriage with her ex-husband Mei Lanfang.

So, she followed the teacher and practiced the basic skills hard, and finally achieved a generation of Peking Opera masters!

Meng Xiaodong must have a lot of savings in his hand, because he has been singing opera for many years and is also a famous actor in Beijing opera! As for how many, no one can know the exact number.

Later, Xiaodong Meng, who loved Peking Opera all his life, focused on Peking Opera education.

However, Meng Xiaodong is very picky about the choice of disciples! The principle of accepting disciples is the same as that of her teacher Yu Shuyan. She must be a person who is willing to endure hardships and devote herself to art.

She is very strict and conscientious in teaching her apprentices. Therefore, several Peking Opera masters under her door have become famous figures in Hong Kong and Taiwan!

In the spring of that year, in Yanjia, Hong Kong, Sun Yangnong offered incense, and Meng Xiaodong officially accepted money for Peirong, Zhao Peixin and Wu Weitu. During the period of 15, he will study the famous drama of amateur school 12!

Because Qian Peirong, a student, is in business and often travels to and from Japan, Xiaodong Meng specially asked him to record while teaching, so that he could continue to practice while on a business trip. Of course, these recordings have finally become precious documents of Meng's legacy!

Learning art, whether now or in the past, is a very expensive thing. What's more, in Hong Kong at that time, perhaps many people still didn't have enough to eat, enough to wear and enough to cover themselves.

Therefore, learning Peking Opera, especially taking the famous Meng Xiaodong as a teacher, is definitely an extravagant hope. As a teacher, her income is relatively high.

Therefore, in the days without Du, the low-key Xiaodong Meng doesn't need to worry about money!

In fact, Meng Xiaodong's life in his later years is not as luxurious as people think. She lives in seclusion most of the time, and her expenses are not as high as people think.

When I moved to Taiwan Province Province, a generation of famous actresses passed away. Later, Meng Xiaodong left Hong Kong for Taipei at the invitation of his fourth aunt, Yao Yulan.

Yao Yulan and Meng Xiaodong, who are also lovers of Peking Opera, are sworn sisters and have a good relationship.

Du and Meng Xiaodong finally came together. Yao Yulan, the fourth wife, created many opportunities and helped a lot. This feeling is unmatched by other concubines.

1967, Meng Xiaodong took her three dogs from Anqing to Taiwan Province province.

On Meng Xiaodong's day, I wore a crimson cheongsam, a gray sweater with black trim, a pair of dark sunglasses and a pair of exquisite pearl earrings.

When this statement came out, I was shocked again! Someone said regretfully: I sent a more elegant song, and Guangling became a unique song.

Because of Meng Xiaodong's fame and the popular Peking Opera art in Taiwan Province Province at that time, many people still wanted to invite her to sing and teach opera, but she declined.

After Meng Xiaodong settled in Taiwan Province Province, he did not formally accept disciples.

In his later years, Meng Xiaodong lived a very happy life. Occasionally, her old friends or Du's children come to visit her. When she is free, she will call Tai Ji Chuan and watch TV. She also has many friends around her. She spent the last 65,438+00 years of her life peacefully.

After ten years in Taiwan Province, she still keeps a low profile.

No TV or radio interviews, no recordings or performances. Besides walking the dog, she spends most of her time at home watching TV and occasionally playing cards.

Meng Xiaodong's life in Taiwan Province is mainly taken care of by his daughter Du. Du and Meng Xiaodong are very close. On the eve of his death, Du asked to be buried with his adoptive mother Meng Xiaodong.

1977, Meng Xiaodong's 70th birthday. Relatives and friends got together and gave Meng Xiaodong a very lively birthday.

Meng Xiaodong is very happy. She sang several operas, probably because she was tired. Besides, she has been suffering from emphysema. After her birthday, her cough is getting worse every day.

On the evening of May 25th, after a severe asthma attack, Xiaodong Meng lowered his head and passed out.

The family immediately sent her to the hospital, and the doctor cut his throat and sucked sputum, but Meng Xiaodong was still unconscious!

At midnight on 26th, Xiaodong Meng died of emphysema and complications of heart disease at the age of 70. A generation of famous actresses died!

When we bid farewell to Meng Xiaodong, thousands of celebrities and students from all walks of life in Taiwan Province Province spontaneously went to Meng Xiaodong's coffin to pay their respects!

Finally, they buried Meng Xiaodong in Shanjia Buddhist Cemetery in Taipei. There are several clusters of osmanthus on both sides, and the fragrance is always lingering. She chose this for herself before her death. On the tombstone is Zhang Daqian's inscription: "Tomb of Madame Du Mu Montaigne".

No matter how prosperous, it is vanity. May the winter between osmanthus flowers rest in peace!

Introduction: Mr. Du Du Yuesheng, once the most powerful man in 195 1 Shanghai, died in Hong Kong at the age of 63. Because he left Shanghai during the Anti-Japanese War, his income after living in Hong Kong was not much, and there were even rumors that he borrowed money to live, so his dying legacy was only100000 dollars. As the fifth wife, Meng Xiaodong got $20,000. At this point, Meng Xiaodong, who was just in his early forties, was very helpless. So is she making a living to escape the rest of her life?

Meng Xiaodong is Du's fifth and last wife. Because at this time, Du is no longer the all-powerful moment in Shanghai, but just an ordinary old man lying in a hospital bed in Hong Kong and living in relative poverty. In order to give Meng Xiaodong a birthright, on 1950, knowing that time was running out, Du struggled from his hospital bed and made up a formal wedding with Meng Xiaodong. Therefore, Meng Xiaodong became the fifth wife of Du Ming Midea and enjoyed the inheritance right of Du's legacy.

The fate of Du and Meng Xiaodong After Du came to Shanghai, he worked as a waiter in a fruit shop. Later, in order to seek development, I followed the tycoon Huang. Under the authorization of Huang, he was responsible for the casino business and other businesses, and gradually developed. When Meng Xiaodong 14 took the stage, Du followed his eldest brother Huang to get off and go to the theatre.

Du is an opera fan. Meng Xiaodong sings well and beautifully, so he likes Meng Xiaodong very much. Under his persuasion, Xiaodong Meng went to Beijing for further study in the year when Du established Sanxin Company. Later, Du married his fourth wife, a Peking Opera actress. Yao Yulan and Meng Xiaodong once performed on the same stage and were good friends. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, a telegram was sent to Meng Xiaodong, inviting her to come to Shanghai, which also contributed to the marriage between Du and Meng Xiaodong. Later, Meng Xiaodong and the Du family moved to Hong Kong.

Meng Xiaodong, the Winter Emperor of Peking Opera, was born in Liyuan family. Her grandfather, father, uncle and uncle are all Peking Opera actors. It is said that people who are close to Zhu Zhechi are black, and Meng Xiaodong has also embarked on the road of Peking Opera. At the age of nine, she was enlightened. At the age of fourteen, she performed with some famous children in Shanghai. Among them was Du's fourth wife, when Du was a close friend of Huang.

Peking Opera Peking Opera is authentic only in Beijing. Therefore, Meng Xiaodong left Shanghai for Beijing on 1925. After objective and meticulous research, she decided to join Piper Yu Shuyan as a teacher. Become a closed disciple of Yu Shuyan. It is said that closed disciples are the most popular, so one who is willing to teach a student Meng Xiaodong's skills has made a qualitative leap. Therefore, it won the reputation of the Winter Emperor of Peking Opera.

Meng Xiaodong has more contact with Mr. Mei Lanfang because of his performance. As they got to know each other, their marriage became a much-told story in the pear garden. But then the two sides broke up for some reasons. After the Anti-Japanese War, Du returned to Shanghai at the invitation of her fourth wife.

Meng Xiaodong lived alone after Du's death. Although he got some inheritance, it was far from enough to spend the rest of his life. Meng Xiaodong did not choose to remarry, but chose to teach with his own Peking Opera. First, charge some fees; The second is to spend the rest of my life. Meng Xiaodong suffered a lot from learning Peking Opera since she was a child, so she always thought that only talent and hard work could make a breakthrough in Peking Opera.

Therefore, Meng Xiaodong is very strict in choosing students. He must be both talented and hard-working, so that he can do his best to cultivate his children like his teacher Yu Shuyan. Although her requirements are very strict, there are still an endless stream of people to send their children to learn Peking Opera because of her famous title of Winter Emperor of Peking Opera. So Meng Xiaodong's livelihood is not a problem at all. It is precisely because of her careful selection and teaching that there are many famous Peking Opera students among her disciples.

After living like this for many years, Meng Xiaodong was invited to live in Taiwan Province Province. The inviter is Du's fourth wife. After arriving in Taiwan Province Province, Meng Xiaodong, who had no worries about food and clothing, officially entered retirement. Xiaodong Meng, who no longer teaches his disciples, leads an ordinary life like other retired people. Finally, Meng Xiaodong died on 1977 at the age of 7 1.

1949, Du left Hong Kong with his family, and Meng Xiaodong went with him. Meng Xiaodong's question: "I'll go with you, whether it's the maid or your girlfriend" woke Du up. Du decided to reissue a wedding for Meng Xiaodong in order to give Meng Xiaodong a birthright.

So 1950 One day in late autumn, the Du Mansion in Hong Kong decorated with lanterns and held a wedding banquet. Du was lifted from his hospital bed and became the groom's official for the last time. Meng Xiaodong also officially became Du's fifth wife. This year, Du was 62 years old and Xiaodong Meng was 43 years old.

As Du's fifth wife, when Meng Xiaodong married Du, Du was already a sick man in his sixties, one was ill in bed, the other was carrying soup, and the hero was dying and the beauty was dying, which was the best portrayal of Du and Meng Xiaodong at this time.

Because Meng Xiaodong's company brought indispensable comfort to Du, who was terminally ill. However, their marriage lasted for a short time. One year after Meng Xiaodong married Du, Du died on August 195 16, 2006 at the age of 63.

195 1 On August 7th, 2008, before Du's death, when he asked his secretary and several other old friends to make a will, he found that Du had only100000 dollars in cash at his disposal, and all of this100000 dollars was distributed to the Du family and people associated with the Du family.

Besides, Du had $7,000 under his pillow before he died, and Du gave Xiaodong Meng $3,000. After Du's death, Xiaodong Meng got an inheritance of $20,000, so the two times add up to $23,000.

Du's legacy to Meng Xiaodong is really not much. It is reported that when Meng Xiaodong heard that she could only get $20,000, she said, "How can this be enough ..." Indeed, Meng Xiaodong did not get much inheritance, so it is conceivable that her life will definitely be much worse than before.

After Du's death, the Du family left and parted ways. Xiaodong Meng also moved out of the Kennedy 18 platform and moved to the embassy building. Meng Xiaodong has no children. Compared with Du's other wives, she is really lonely.

Before he died, Du told Meng Xiaodong, "After I die, don't perform on the stage." Du knew Meng Xiaodong loved singing, but he didn't want Meng Xiaodong to show his face for a living after his death, so he made this request, and Meng Xiaodong knew that Du was thinking of her, so he readily agreed.

As a famous Peking Opera emperor, Xiaodong Meng never appeared on the stage after Du's death. Even singing a cantata, he doesn't want to. Sometimes he is very interested, but he will sing a cantata by himself with the window closed.

Fortunately, Meng Xiaodong also has the ability to make a living, that is, to accept apprentices. When she was in Hong Kong, she successively accepted disciples such as Qian Peirong and Zhao Peixin, and finally lived up to expectations. Meng Xiaodong is very strict in teaching apprentices and will not choose apprentices at will. She only chooses talented, strong-willed people who are obsessed with art as her students. Under her training, she has trained several famous Peking Opera artists.

Xiaodong Meng's life in Hongkong is not easy, even a little difficult, because he refuses to perform on stage, has no regular job and no one to help him.

Fortunately, Yao Yulan later invited Meng Xiaodong to Taipei, and the lives of Taipei and Meng Xiaodong were greatly improved. In Taipei, he was cared and accompanied by Yao Yulan's mother and daughter, chatting with relatives and friends, playing mahjong, and had a good life.

1On May 27th, 977, Meng Xiaodong died of emphysema and complications of heart disease. At the age of seventy, her love and hate ended here!

In August 195 1, 64-year-old Du died of illness in Hong Kong. Mr. Du's daughter is gone before his death, and his property is not much after his death. According to Du Chuan, this legacy is 1 1 10,000 US dollars, equivalent to more than 600,000 Hong Kong dollars. Lu Jingshi read this book when his family was dying.

Meng Xiaodong, 1908 was born in Shanghai and was once praised as "Winter Emperor" by Liyuan community. The picture shows Meng Xiaodong in Hong Kong. It was a night before liberation, and Xiaodong Meng entrusted himself to Du. At that time, the social situation changed suddenly, and Meng Xiaodong could only find a backer. Du, who has been favored by him for many years, is the right candidate. Although Du is 60 years old and terminally ill, he still thinks he is very powerful, so he took Meng, who has just turned 40, to Hong Kong. Who knew that Du had only so little money when he died? When she got $20,000, the first thing she said was, How can this be enough?

The picture shows Meng Xiaodong's disciples bowing to Master during the apprentice acceptance ceremony. Therefore, Meng Xiaodong's wandering life abroad is rather miserable. He is usually used to luxury goods and food, and his legacy has spent a lot. In order to make a living, he began to accept apprentices. He chose not only his talent in opera, but also his rich pocket. For example, Qian Peirong received at 1952 is a businessman. He is very rich. After he officially became an apprentice, he began to take care of his teacher. In 2006, 65,438+002-year-old Qian Peirong was also interviewed on TV. He said that he would send money to his teacher every month to show his respect, which lasted for decades until her death.

The picture shows Meng Xiaodong in his later years. After her death, she was buried in the Buddhist cemetery of Lv Jing Temple in Taipei. As Du's children moved to Taiwan Province province, Xiaodong Meng, the old man, settled in Taiwan Province province on 1967 to avoid loneliness, and took in his apprentice Cai and others, who took care of him in the future. In an interview, Cai said that my feelings with my teacher were like mother and son, and I went to see her almost every day, so I lost Meng Xiaodong in Du.

Meng Xiaodong, Du, the feelings between these two people, in the eyes of many people, are Du's possession of Meng Xiaodong, but this is not the case. Meng Xiaodong was originally Mei Lanfang's wife, but Mei Lanfang was a coward. Meng Xiaodong finally had to choose to divorce Mei Lanfang.

Since then, Meng Xiaodong has often been taken care of by Du, saying that someone has taken care of her. In fact, Du has long coveted Meng Xiaodong, the Emperor of the Beautiful Winter. You know, Meng Xiaodong, as the winter emperor of Peking Opera, is now a first-line star, coveted by the Big Three in Shanghai and Du Fu, the head of green gang. Moreover, even if he coveted Meng Xiaodong, Du just moved by emotion, stopped at the ceremony, and did not use the tough means possessed by gangsters.

It seems that Meng Xiaodong should despise Du. Although Du is the first of the three giants of the Youth League, Du is older than Meng Xiaodong 19 years old. From the initial impression, it is impossible for Meng Xiaodong to have a crush on Du, but he can't hold the long-term goodwill that Du gave her. Especially after returning to Shanghai, Xiaodong Meng's good friend (also one of Du's wives) invited him to live at home. At this time, there was a fierce spark between them.

Old age life

In fact, Du was relatively poor in his later years and was forced to go to Hong Kong, which made Du lose most of his industries and even lived by borrowing money. Therefore, after Du's death, several ladies must have a hard time.

Although Du and Meng Xiaodong never got married, when Du was about to die, Meng Xiaodong suggested that Du propose to him, and they became a real husband and wife. After Du's death, Xiaodong Meng was left with only $20,000. Although the money is not small, it is unrealistic for those rich women who are used to the life of the rich to live with it.

However, Meng Xiaodong doesn't need others' support at all. Xiaodong Meng was once one of the economic giants. Even after Du's death, Xiaodong Meng still had his own iron rice bowl. Because I am old, I am obviously not suitable for performing on stage again. Therefore, Meng Xiaodong in his later years did not live on the stage, but relied on his own Beijing opera skills.

It can be said that after Du's death, Xiaodong Meng didn't suffer anything, just because he had no children and no relatives around him. With Du Tong as his wife, several people went to Shanghai, Taiwan Province and the United States, and Meng Xiaodong lived alone in his later years.

Until his sixties, Xiaodong Meng finally reached retirement age. At the invitation of Yao Yulan, he went to Taiwan Province Province, where he was not only taken care of by Yao Yulan children, but also felt a rare long-lost affection.

Xiaodong Meng, the "Winter Emperor" of Peking Opera, has to say that she is a genius in learning Chinese opera. She began to study art at the age of nine and was able to sing on stage at the age of fourteen, which is more or less related to her life experience. She was born in a Beijing opera family, and she has been very famous in Beijing opera since her grandfather's generation. Later, her uncle, father and brother all inherited this art, and Meng Xiaodong made faster progress than the average person.

(Meng Xiaodong)

Meng later worshipped a "great man in the field of traditional Chinese opera". Yu Shuyan's disciples are rigorous and flexible, and their vocals are rich and deep. Under his example, Xiaodong Meng quickly mastered many skills and methods in traditional Chinese opera, with a solid foundation and rapid progress in learning.

After Master became seriously ill, Meng Xiaodong was inseparable, took special care of him and was recognized by Yu Shuyan. Later, he became the most successful descendant of Yu School and became famous in one fell swoop. 1928, the supplement of Tianjin Business Daily opened a special column for her, calling her the "Winter Emperor" in the field of Chinese opera.

(Meng Xiaodong's photo when he was young)

Du Yuesheng became attached to this play. Both Meng Xiaodong and Du have a great hobby, that is, going to the opera. Every time Meng Wanzhou sings in Shanghai, Du will join in and often ask for drinking and clapping outside.
