In the middle of the night on April 19, 1928, on a ship from Hong Kong to Shanghai, a young and beautiful woman stood on the edge of the deck, sometimes crying, laughing and jumping. After
, she stood staggeringly on the deck, staring at the rough sea, her eyes hollow and her expression lonely.
At this moment, the night is vast, the boat is still full of stars, and people are enjoying midnight leisurely, and no one notices the woman's abnormal behavior.
suddenly, she jumped and jumped into the boundless deep sea...
who is she? Why choose this extreme way to end life?
It turned out that she was the "first strange woman" of the Republic of China who used her body to write-Yu Meiyan.
Although she is not a celebrity celebrity, but her peerless beauty is comparable to the current female celebrities. There are tens of thousands of ministers under the skirt. From the warlord wealthy businessman to the dandy boy and the handsome boy are obsessed with her.
She was known as the "first woman of desire" in the Republic of China, and she once recorded in her diary that she had sex with 3,000 men.
"Modern Love Letters" written by her is a popular bestseller in the Republic of China.
She was only 28 years old when she threw herself into the sea, and she was still talked about for many years after her death.
She spent her short life in pursuit of true freedom of sex, love and family. Although she was hitting a wall everywhere, she never gave up.
is a natural beauty, and her boss is married to a businessman
. Yu Meiyan was born in a well-off merchant family, her father is a pawn merchant, and her mother is a daughter of a famous family. She has inherited the advantages of her parents since she was a child. She is talented, fair-skinned and beautiful.
In order to cultivate a beautiful daughter into a generation of celebrities, the couple devoted a lot of effort to Yu Meiyan. Yu Meiyan not only learned the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting well, but also studied Chinese and English by herself.
Because of her outstanding appearance, Yu Meiyan was often followed by some boys when she was in school. Seeing this situation,
's parents ordered her to drop out of school at home and spent a lot of money to hire a tutor. After graduating from high school, Yu Meiyan stopped going to school, but studied Chinese and English at home. There were guests at
at the time. Yu Meiyan, who was less than 15 years old, talked with them, especially insightful about the philosophy of life of freedom and liberation. Everyone thought she was a talented young literary girl.
Yu Meiyan, who was educated in the West since she was young, pursues freedom, has advanced thinking and is more mature than her peers. Although Yu's mother urged her daughter to yearn for freedom and democracy, she was stubborn and conservative in behavior. She kept Yu Meiyan in her boudoir, and only let her go out to see the outside world at the age of 18.
She felt that she was a bird in a cage, and she suddenly let go to find the joy and freedom that had been long-lost.
Once in the evening, Yu Meiyan and the maid still strolled on the street. When she approached the door of her house, she saw a handsome boy next door, with a gentle temperament like jade, and he felt like a certain gentleman described in the Book of Songs.
For several consecutive nights, Yu Meiyan tossed and turned, awake at night, the figure of that man always lingered in her heart.
Yu Meiyan, who was in love with her, began to pass the matchmaking and cover of the maid, and secretly meet her sweetheart in the boudoir. The two young men died of love in the first month before the flower.
Unfortunately, it didn't take long for her parents to learn about it. Her father was furious, and her mother criticized her too. Then he locked her in the boudoir again, not leaving the door.
Because Yu Meiyan’s parents never cared about and understood her daughter’s true thoughts, taking such a brutal approach to interfere with her freedom of love also became the beginning of Yu Meiyan’s tragic life.
Yu Meiyan asked the maid to send a letter to the lover, wanting her to elope herself. But the lover who had sworn each other with her was so scared that he escaped, and the figure disappeared.
It turns out that some men's first love is just a game.
Yu Meiyan feels that this fiery love is nothing but a one-man show of her own; and the true love she is looking forward to is nothing but a joke.
Yu Meiyan was 18 years old at the time, and she was very slim, with outstanding appearance and temperament. Father wanted to find herA family of merchants who are in the right position, in order to make their career icing on the cake.
Not long after, Yu Meiyan was arranged by her parents and betrothed to the family of merchants surnamed Tan in Kaiping. The behavior of
's parents disappointed Yu Meiyan. She couldn't figure out why her enlightened parents were so conservative in her marriage.
Unexpectedly, after marrying into the Tan family, Yu Meiyan discovered that her husband, Tan Zuxiang, who had never met before, was pretty good, handsome and well-informed. Not only did the two talk together, but the life of their husband and wife was also Qin Se and Ming. Yu Meiyan was quite satisfied with this marriage.
Two months after the marriage, the Tan family had to go to New York to deal with business affairs due to the family business failure.
Yu Meiyan, who has just tasted the love of men and women, is alone in her empty boudoir, feeling lonely and unbearable, her body's desires have nowhere to go, and her heart is suffering.
Because her husband has not returned all the year round, Yu Meiyan does not get along well with her in-laws and sister-in-law, and the etiquette at home is too strict. Yu Meiyan finally chose to run away from home.
she said sadly: "Due to various relationships, she feels the pain of marriage not being free." Since then, she has embarked on a ten-year journey of eroticism.
Once the caged bird is free, it will find ways to fly higher and farther. Although
does not know what the road ahead is, the courage to chase love and freedom has made many people sigh.
pursued the freedom of love and became the first person to "write with the body"
On February 27, 1918, Yu Meiyan, who ran away from home, came to Guangzhou. But as soon as I arrived in Guangzhou, I encountered a misfortune.
It turned out that on the eve of Yu Meiyan's arrival in Guangzhou, Navy Commander Cheng Biguang was stabbed to death.
was arrested as a suspect and sent to jail because Yu Meiyan was dressed very fashionable and unusual. Later, the uncle who was the county head was released on relationship bail, and Yu Meiyan was free again.
Because of this detention, the Tan family felt that their face was damaged, so they dissolved their marriage with Yu Meiyan.
Yu Meiyan’s parents became angry when they learned of the incident, and they ran to Guangdong and sent their daughter to a new-style prison "workshop" in Guangzhou, where she could "reform".
But Yu Meiyan, who had been spoiled since childhood, actually worked with prisoners, how could she bear such humiliation in her heart? You can imagine how her days in the apprenticeship are like years.
Yu Meiyan's temperament changed drastically after staying in the art center for a year. After being released from prison, she drew a clear line with her family and made an oath: "I am committed to the pursuit of freedom of love in this life."
When Yu Meiyan came out After being jailed, he frantically pursued the love and freedom he wanted in his heart. In her opinion, "love is love, lust is love". She said: "The burst of lust is like the explosion of a silver fox, combined with mutual goodwill, that is love. Z2z
Although her avant-garde view of love is not accepted by the world, she still pursues it madly and fiercely. Z31z
later Yu Mei Yan met a Hong Kong businessman surnamed He in Hong Kong. He captured Yu Meiyan’s heart easily because he was able to speak well. She agreed to Merchant He’s marriage proposal and became his second room. Z2z
was in Hong Kong, graceful The romantic Yu Meiyan is like a fish in water. She constantly patronizes theaters and casinos. She likes this kind of free life. The money that Merchant He gave her will soon be spent. Z2z
Merchant He can't stand Yu Meiyan's extravagance and vicious use He scolded her in the language of
. Soon after
, he also got tired of Yu Meiyan, and announced her evil deeds to the world in the newspaper, reprimanding her for her unruly profligacy, and then resolutely broke the marriage contract with her Yu Meiyan was once again ruthlessly abandoned.
Shakespeare said that if love is mixed with calculations that have nothing to do with it, it is not true love.
The true love is that you hold my hand From yesterday to now, I just want to snuggle by your side and never be separated. Z2z
's wrong view of love and love will eventually become painful memories and can even change a person’s temperament. After
suffered such a blow, Yu Meiyan’s temperament changed drastically. She began to hang around in various entertainment venues and hang around with various men.
She no longer expected the so-called love, but just played with various men between her palms.
Others accused her of being wild, but she believed that "No matter ancient or modern, only men can play with women, women can't play with men, so I have sex with thousands of men. This is my trick to play with men..."
lives in Guangzhou During the period, the local tabloid wrote to Yu Meiyan: "Military officers know well, and they are all played in the palm of their hands."
Later, Yu Meiyan also united with three deviant people like her in Guangzhou. Women and four often go in and out of the dance hall and wine shop together. At that time, people in Guangzhou named them "Four King Kong", and Yu Meiyan was the first of the four King Kong.
An actor named Yang Naimei is also one of the "Four King Kong" and the first film producer in my country. After Yu Meiyan committed suicide by jumping into the sea, Yang Naimei also made a silent film "The Strange Woman" based on her experience. Of course, this is a story.
Yu Meiyan thinks that there is always something left behind when you come to this world for a while. So she began to write a diary about the love affairs that happened between herself and those men, and attached the love letter that the man gave her, named "Romantic Love Letter".
Yu Meiyan recorded in her diary that she had slept with three thousand men in four years. She also became the first pioneer writer to use "body writing" in the Republic of China.
She also organized and printed the love letters of her lovers into a book, named "Modern Love Letters". The book
was sold out as soon as it was published and became a popular bestseller in the Republic of China, and there is still a collector's edition of the Republic of China. Therefore, Yu Meiyan is also called "the most romantic female writer in the Republic of China."
Actually, although "Modern Love Letter" looks magnificent, it is actually the tragic fate of a woman.
A person who uses his own power to fight against and challenge the bottom line of social morality will eventually break his head.
game life is empty, escape into Buddhism can not rest
Yu Meiyan has been ups and downs in the sea for the next ten years, pursuing what she thinks is love and freedom.
In a society where women have no freedom of marriage, career and economic status, Yu Meiyan uses her body to fight against the patriarchal society.
In the age when the woman still bound her feet, Yu Meiyan had already put on her swimsuit and took pictures.
In the era when women must abide by women’s morals, Yu Meiyan wore a red short skirt with her thighs exposed, riding through the busy city, attracting attention.
She also likes to sleep naked in front of the hotel's bedroom door, showing off her figure, which makes the traveling tourists dumbfounded, so that many hotels are afraid to accept her.
She has been pursuing freedom all her life, challenging the moral bottom line of that society with her behavior and body.
When she was 25 years old, Yu Meiyan met the son of the county magistrate of Nanhai County. This "second-generation official" has a handsome appearance. He often gives Yu Meiyan money and flowers and promises to marry Yu Meiyan.
also rented a house in the country, and started a "trial marriage" life with Yu Meiyan.
Yu Meiyan was also touched by this "second generation of officials", she was tired of so many years of wandering and living without a home. She really loves him, and she really wants to marry him.
However, their love affair was strongly opposed by the "second generation of officials" family. The county magistrate's wife forced Yu Meiyan to return the 20,000 yuan that their son had spent on her before allowing them to get married.
As a result, after Yu Meiyan used her previous contacts to go to Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places to raise 20,000 yuan and hand it over to the magistrate’s wife, the magistrate had to bring her to justice on the charge of “local prostitution”.
So the magistrate's wife pretended to intercede for Yu Meiyan, saying that as long as she does not harass their son in the future, she will no longer be punished.
Yu Meiyan, who has been teased by fate again, has since become more discouraged, and the last bit of freedom in her heart has once again vanished.
In 1927, Yu Meiyan felt that no one would accept her in this world, and there would be no change. She chose to escape into the empty door. She went to the Castle Peak Buddhist Temple in Kowloon, Hong Kong alone. The news of
leaked out, and many of Yu Meiyan's previous men went to the temple to visit her, including the handsome and handsome "official second generation."
The temple host realized that Yu Meiyan was a person with "infinite past and dust" and expelled her from Buddhism.
saw that the road to Buddhism was unworkable. Yu Meiyan went to Shanghai again, and specifically found a reporter surnamed Ma and asked him about suicide.
Reporter Ma told her that there are two artistic ways to die: the first is to cast the wonderful West Lake, and the second is to cast the boundless blue sea.
In the end, Yu Meiyan chose to commit suicide by throwing herself into the sea, ending her short and bohemian life.
The concept of love that transcends the times is destined to be a tragedy.
Yu Meiyan made a wish during her lifetime: “In this dark society, there is no life, and one must die. May the next life be a pure woman and be truly free "Z31z
In order to chase the free dream in her heart, Yu Meiyan spent her whole life burning her body and lust.
Perhaps, the concept of love that transcends the times is destined to not be recognized by the times and is destined to be a tragedy.
Actually, Yu Meiyan's life is nothing more than following her own heart, preferring freedom, and pursuing the true love she longs for a lifetime, but she is a person born in the wrong era.
She was awakened to "sex awareness" at a very young age, which of course was incredible in her time.
British philosopher Luo Qin said that the perfect love between men and women is free and fearless, and is an equal combination of body and spirit.
If she was born in today's society, she might become an internet celebrity, or a "beauty writer", using her beauty and "love history" to become a celebrity, she would also earn a lot of money and live a good life.
However, some of the women of in that era may not be able to awaken sexually in their entire lives. Even if they are awakened, they will regard them as scourges.
Therefore, Yu Meiyan's existence is just like a flash in the pan, like a blooming spark, which can only be dazzling for a moment.
