Huang Yifan (1896-1957), formerly known as Huang Suqiong, grandfather was the water governor of the seven provinces Huang Yisheng , in the fight against the span_12span, made great contributions to the suppression of the span_12span 13 span , Gong Feng Baron. Huang Jisheng has only one son, Huang Zongyan, who has never had any heirs after marriage. His family bought him a country girl from the village of Changsha as a concubine. After the concubine became pregnant, Huang Zongyan went to Guangxi to serve as the salt road. Less than a year later, he died of a miasma. He was only 30 years old. In 1896, this concubine gave birth to a pair of twins for Huang's : they were Zhang Ailing’s mother, Huang Suqiong and her uncle Huang Dingzhu .
When I was young, my younger brother could go to school. As a daughter, Huang Suqiong could only wrap her feet and study the female red in her boudoir. She was very dissatisfied with this arrangement. She also hoped to go to school like her brother to study, so she used a hunger strike to resist the shackles of the old age "women without talent is virtue". In the end, she won and won for herself to study. chance.
Zhang Zhiyi is a famous minister Li Hongzhang 's grandson, mother Liju lotus is the eldest daughter of Li Hongzhang's dowry. At the age of 22, Zhang Zhiyi and Huang Suqiong were married to each other. Huang Suqiong, whose parents died early since childhood, did not live happily after marriage .
Affected by the May Fourth Movement, Huang Suqiong’s thoughts are very civilized. Although her husband Zhang Zhiyi has received a new education, he still has the style of a young man from the Qing Dynasty. He visits the kiln, smokes opium, marries his wife, and has nothing to do all day. Huang Suqiong was very uncomfortable, so this Biren who seemed to outsiders fell into endless quarrels.
In 1924, Zhang Zhiyi's sister Zhang Maoyuan was going to study abroad, and Huang Suqiong wanted to go with her as her guardian. This year, she had two children to escape the old-style marriage for . She chose to leave her young daughter Zhang Ailing and son Zhang Zijing cruelly and go overseas to find a new free life.
Huang Suqiong, who studied abroad, experienced the joy of being a new student .She played the piano, danced with her sister-in-law, and learned painting from Xu Beihong. The days when she was a celebrity talking and laughing made her feel like a fish in water. It was so uncomfortable. With three inches of golden lotus, she also went skiing in the Alps with Zhang Maoyuan, skiing better than the unbound sister-in-law.
Later, Zhang Zhiyi wrote to Huang Suqiong, hoping that she could return to her. He promised not to raise his aunt and not to smoke a lot of cigarettes. For a while, she decided to give her husband another chance, so she returned to China.
Huang Suqiong returned home with the vitality of foreign countries . They moved into a new-style garden house. Here, she taught Zhang Ailing to play the piano, paint, and learn English, which brought rare things to Zhang Ailing’s unhappy childhood joy.
The happy days after the return did not last long. Zhang Zhiyi started prostitutes, smoked a lot of cigarettes, and even refused to pay for the family's living expenses. Huang Suqiong, who couldn't bear it, filed for divorce . Zhang Zhiyi was so angry that he firmly opposed the divorce. In 1930, with the help of a lawyer, she broke away from the shackles of marriage, like a bird that regained her freedom, once again ran to a foreign country.
After the divorce, Huang Suqiong changed herself to a romantic name-Huang Yifan. With a lot of money and antiques, she started her world journey. Every time she traveled, she had to buy some antiques in exchange for travel expenses. As a woman with independent thinking, she hates to use this way of sitting and eating to survive, but she has to do it .
In 1957, Huang Yifan, who was seriously ill, wrote a letter to Zhang Ailing in London, hoping to see her again, but Zhang Ailing only sent $100 in reply. Soon, Huang Yifan passed away in 's loneliness and poverty, at the age of 61.
Huang Yifan’s life, for freedom and new life ,Abandoned the family, abandoned the children, and finally died of loneliness. I don’t know if she regretted the decision she had made in her later years, or blamed herself for the childhood of the absent child? If life were to be repeated once again, with the old age full of children and grandchildren in exchange for these years of travel in the country, would she be willing?
