In the eight major hutongs in Beijing, there is another famous prostitute who is as famous as Jinhua . Her name is Xiaofengxian . Because General Cai E (named Songpo) appeared beside Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Fengxian's reputation was greatly enhanced; and because of the many film and television dramas about Xiao Fengxian, her story has continued to this day.
In the first year of the Republic of China (1912), the Senate and Houses of Representatives of the Republic of China were established and held a meeting in Beijing to elect a representative. This is an unprecedented event. All internal affairs and diplomacy of the country must be decided by members of Congress; the appointment and removal of special officials must be approved by the Congress. It is conceivable that its power and status are of great significance. The members of this group of MPs are bureaucrats, scholars, and revolutionary great men. They are all kinds of people. Once you enter the capital, your reputation will be ten times more expensive, making politicians of all sizes look like hemp. The eight hundred congressmen and political leaders in the capital entered and left the eight major hutongs in their spare time, causing many brothels to often hang out signs of "full-customer". At that time, almost all the state affairs were based on the brothels of the Eight Great Hutongs as the place to be built. As a result, the eight Great Hutongs were full of traffic and horses, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.
"Bada Hutongs" is synonymous with Liuxiang in Huajie, Old Beijing. A limerick poem at that time said:
Eight Great Hutongs have been famous since ancient times, and is a Baishun Stone City, Shaanxi.
Hanjiatan Hanjiatan Song of strings and songs, Wang Guangxi Street is brightly lit.
0,000 Buddha Temple is in front of it, and there are two roads outside the Yingwei Road.
How many sable fur and rich guys know, clusters of rouge slopes are up ( rouge Hutong ).
Outside the front door, it is the world of Dashilan during the day, and at night it is the world of the eight great Hutongs. In the Dazhalan area, there are many different schools of thought, and there are mixed things, including those who sell Dali pills, pimps, cigarettes, rickshaws, singers, and singers. The eight major hutongs in the brothel area are actually not just eight hutongs, but there are many such places, such as Zhumao hutong, Zhujia hutong , etc. In the eight major hutongs during their prosperous period, there were four or five thousand people who made their living by prostitutes. Whenever night falls, big red lanterns are hung at the gates of each courtyard, and the prostitutes become active, with rouge and white pink lipstick on their faces, standing at the door to attract guests, with endless lewd sounds.
There have been different legends about Xiao Fengxian's life experience. The exact record is that Xiao Fengxian was born in Hangzhou in August 1900. His original name was Zhu Xiaofeng , and he was born in a side room. Later, he changed his name to Zhang Fengyun and Zhang Xifei . Xiao Fengxian was originally from Qiantang, Zhejiang. His father was a declining military officer of the Manchu tribe, and was dismissed for some reason. Xiao Fengxian lived in a family that was increasingly poor and her stepmother was very indifferent to her when she was young. Some people say that she was first sold to a brothel by her stepmother, and then sold it again and again, and sold it to Beijing; some people say that she has been fond of opera since she was a child, and learned opera by a boss named Hu in the opera troupe, so she secretly ran out of the house and followed Boss Hu to travel around the world, and developed a golden voice. During the war, the opera troupe was disbanded, and Boss Hu took her around and made a living by singing along the street, and finally fell into Beijing City . Boss Hu really couldn't make it anymore, so he secretly sold her to the eight major Hutongs. Both parties had a contract, and the money earned was divided by 46% of the brothel. When the expiration was made, the person could be redeemed from the brothel. No matter what, it is true that Xiao Fengxian's life experience has risen and has a tragic fate. And like the wind and willow catkins, it was sold to Yunjiban in the eight major hutongs in Beijing.
Yunjiban is a high-level brothel. All prostitutes are young and young, some are beautiful in their hearts; some are pure and pure in heart; some are bright and smiling, some are scattered by eyebrows; some are kind-hearted and beautiful in the mirror... Xiao Fengxian's skin is extremely white, and she has a pair of Danfeng eyes on her face, and her curved mouth is even more charming. She was very knowledgeable about literature and had been trained in brothels, was able to write poetry and painting, was versatile, and also learned Peking Opera . She lives in Yunjiban, the middle section of Shaanxi Lane, Bada Hutong. The storefront is not big but the yard is very deep. The yard is sunny and flowers are flourishing. The houses behind are exquisite "receiver" rooms, with carved and hangings, green windows and red beds, which are erotic and attractive.
Cai E lives in Cotton Hutong in Xicheng. He is doing nothing all day long. When he is bored, he often disguises himself as a businessman and goes to the eight major Hutongs, looking for prostitutes to have fun, and using the pleasure of his body to relieve his inner depression.One day, Cai E came to Yunjiban and met Xiao Fengxian. He and Xiao Fengxian fell in love with each other at first sight. Cai E praised Xiao Fengxian: the flavor is unique. Xiao Fengxian looked at him and said, "You don't look like a businessman, you must be an extraordinary person." Cai E asked back, "The capital is a prosperous place with many tourists, and there are countless princes, ministers, princes and grandsons, and famous scholars and talented men. I am not as noble as others. Why do you say I must be an extraordinary person?" The two of them entered the room while laughing. Then I drank tea and chatted, and I was particularly close. As the saying goes, both of them were lost in the world, so why should I know each other when I met?
Xiao Fengxian didn't misunderstand that Cai E was the governor of Yunnan and the important member of the Democratic Party who advocated the Republic. During the Second Revolution, Cai E joined forces with Guizhou, Guizhou and other provinces to fight against Yuan, which was taboo by Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai, who was determined to restore the imperial system, was very worried about Cai E. He used a secret trick and asked to discuss political affairs. He summoned Governor Cai to Beijing, which was actually to lure the tiger out of the mountain to prevent changes. At the same time, the Guizhou Governor Tang Jiyao was also appointed to Yunnan, and the Hunan Governor Tan Yankai and Fujian Governor Sun Daoren were also removed from their posts, because they had agreed to be independent.
The mountains and flowing waters are in love with the soulmate
Cai E came to Beijing and began a "fight" with Yuan Shikai. Cai and Yuan, one is pure and elegant, the other is strong and majestic; the other is introverted, and the other is watching the eagle. In the mental contest, these two strong men performed a story that was talked about by the intervention of a fair woman.
Cai E lives in the courtyard No. 66, Beimianhua Hutong. This house was originally the property of Tianjin's big salt merchant He Zhongjing, who was in-laws with Yuan Shikai. After the death of He, the yard was empty and rented to Cai E. At that time, General Cai had been in contact with the anti-Yuan forces in the south; Yuan Shikai had also deployed spies in front of his house for surveillance. Yuan summoned Cai E to the mansion every day, and on the surface he was very kind. Cai E was also prepared. He would restrain himself from his own sharpness whenever he met with Old Yuan, but Yuan also understood the falsehood and said to his left and right: "How can I be deceived by him?"

Yuan decided to directly test Cai E's view of the imperial system. One day, Yuan summoned Cai E to the palace again, and said to the imperial system. Cai E stood up and replied, "My original intention was to agree with the republic. At that time, I was in a remote corner of the southwest, far away from the capital, and there were the forces of the Democratic Party everywhere. It was a last resort. I guess the head of state would understand." Yuan smiled after hearing this. The leader of the preparatory committee present, Yang Du , said: "Since you agree with the imperial system, you should petition the superiors for support. Why not sign your name on this support book?" As he said that, he handed the pen into Cai E's hands.
Cai E said, "I have already petitioned in front of the president. Why do you have to do this again?" He smiled and said, "I am not as elegant as all the gentlemen. While singing praises me, I am worried about slander and ridicule, but I am laughed at as a daughter."
Yang Du smiled and said, "You don't like this daughter's accent, why do you also love Xiao Fengxian? Haha..."
The imperial party was still worried about Cai E and monitored his whereabouts every day. Just at this time, when Beijing sent people to search the Nanjing Documentary House, it discovered a secret telegram about Cai E during the Second Revolution. Yuan immediately ordered the Military Law Department to search at Cai's house, but found nothing. As a result, Cai E, who was uneasy at the time, felt more and more dangerous in his situation.
One evening, Cai E came to Yunjiban where Xiao Fengxian was and told Fengxian that there was a distinguished guest here to drink and asked him to prepare a banquet. The brothel and others made preparations immediately. Soon, there were already carriages and horses outside, and only one person heard aloud saying, "Songpo (Cai E's name is really a gentleman. If you say you treat me, just treat me!" It turned out that the leaders of the imperial sect, Liang Shiyi, Yang Du, Hu Ying, , and Ruan Zhongshu, , have all arrived. As soon as he took his seat, Yang Du stared at Xiao Fengxian and saw his feet from the beginning. Cai E sneered from the side, "See clearly, don't be tired!"
At this time, the turtle slave presented the ticket to the game. The guest wrote the name of his favorite prostitute on the ticket. Xiao Fengxian poured a glass of ", the crown prince red " wine with a smile.After a while, the curtain rang, and a bunch of pink heads walked in. The flowers were waving and the fat was fragrant. They sat in the seats. Everyone hugged the prostitute and drank until midnight. Xiao Fengxian stayed at Cai E for the night. She lay on the bed, stroked Cai E and said, "How can you be with these people!" Cai E said, "I have no choice. The Military Law Department even raided my home a few days ago. If I leave, Yuan Shikai's spies followed closely and could not get out. If they were not done well, they would see the flaws. Alas! Besides, it is also a burden to the family!"
Xiao Fengxian felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. She didn't understand why it was all for. This is the first time she has encountered a man like this since she was a prostitute. He is so handsome, elegant and elegant. She regarded Cai E as a confidant and as a relative. Seeing Cai E’s sorrow, she kept comforting him and came up with a good idea for him. Cai E nodded as he did.
Cai E arrived in the morning and arrived at the presidential palace, but the president had not yet got up. Cai E made a frustrated statement and said to the attendant, "If the president gets up, call me!" He then left. Yuan got up and heard that Cai E was coming and going, so he ordered Cai E to call him. Cai E replied that he was fighting with his wife. Yuan sent Zhu Qiqiun quickly went to persuade him. When Zhu arrived at Cai E's house, he saw Cai E clenching his fist and scolding him; Mrs. Liu lying on the ground with tears on her face. Cai E was even more vicious when he saw Zhu Arriving: "How angry! I didn't go to Yunjiban a few times, but she actually started to move. Look at what she fell!" As he said that, he was going to fight again.
Zhu Qiqiu hurriedly stopped him: "Songpo! You wake up coldly, why is the couple quarreling like this?" He said to the maid again: "Hurry up your wife and enter the house!" Mrs. Liu cried while entering the house.
Zhu advised: "Madam Cai, please say less!" He turned around and blamed Cai E, "Why did the trouble make it like this! I think it would be better to let the wife go back to her parents' home for a while. Look at this incident! Songpo, the president is waiting for you to enter the mansion!"
In fact, the fighting spirit between Cai E and Mrs. Liu was performed by Xiao Fengxian, who was deliberately done for others to watch, so as to create excuses for family members to return to the south. A few days later, Cai E arranged for his mother and two wives to return to his hometown. At this time, Mrs. Pan was pregnant and happened to go back to her parents' home to give birth. My mother was not used to living in the capital and wanted to live in the countryside. Of course, she had to be accompanied by Mrs. Liu, and several children also left.
Cai E felt much more relaxed after sending off his family. He went to Yunjiban, Shaanxi Lane to chat with Xiao Fengxian. He seemed to have developed some attachment to Xiao Fengxian, and regarded her as a confidante in his lingering relationship. Xiao Fengxian was 17 years old at the time, and gradually developed an inseparable feeling. She regarded Cai E as her support and hope and was willing to give everything for him. That night, Xiao Fengxian snuggled in his broad mind with affection. Cai E whispered, "I have to leave!" Xiao Fengxian felt full of contradictions when she heard this. She really didn't want Cai E to leave, but seeing his sinister situation, especially the detectives who followed him, she hoped that he would leave this place of failure soon. After a while, Xiao Fengxian said warmly, "The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the head of the troupe. There were many people coming and going to the table at that time. It was a good opportunity. I am willing to give up my life to help you leave!" Cai E was moved by her true feelings and said, "No need, I have asked the president for sick leave and went to Japan for throat treatment. Old Yuanye has approved it and will set off soon."
On December 1, 1915, Cai E went to Japan to see a doctor through Tianjin, then turned back to Shanghai, transferred to Hong Kong, Vietnam, Guangxi, and sneaked back to Yunnan in December. He and Tang Jiyao, Li Liejun and others sent a telegram in Kunming, declaring Yunnan independence, opposing the imperial system, and vowed to fight against Yuan, thus triggering a nationwide "protecting the country movement." Yuan Shikai was forced to abolish the imperial system and was depressed and died on June 6, 1916. In August 1916, Cai E, who was known as "a military uniform and a world is determined", went to Japan to treat his illness. On November 8, Cai E unfortunately died at Fukuoka University in Tokyo, Japan due to the ineffective treatment of dysentery. This revolutionary who made outstanding contributions to the Republic, was like a dazzling meteor in the sky, passing through his glorious and short life at the age of 34.
The bad news of Cai E's death spread to the country, and the whole country was mourning. On December 9, Cai E's coffin was transported from Japan to Huangpu Pier in Shanghai. The colleagues from Sichuan Business Office, who were in charge of the funeral, immediately took the boat to celebrate the ceremony.After the sacrifice, 16 white-clothed slings slowly lowered the coffin to the dock with a pulley and then loaded it onto a cannon truck. The Chinese band, a military band in the French house, played a sorrow music, and all Chinese and Western military and police raised their guns to pay tribute, and the convoy set off slowly. There was a car and a horse team leading the way in front of the hearse. Teachers and students of Nanyang Business School held banners with banners and wrote "The First Great Man of Restoration of the Republic"; Fudan Public School Boy Scouts and Youth Association Boy Scouts carried wreaths; more than a thousand people from other schools organized incense queues; portrait pavilions, presidential order pavilions, medal pavilions, etc. were all decorated with flowers; the naval sailors were led by the captain himself; among the infantry battalions and guards, Sun Yat-sen, Tang Shaoyi and others walked in a solemn manner. Behind the hearse there was a horse-team guard, with more than 100 carriages and cars following. Stores of all sizes and sizes along the way are all placed at half-masts. Countless sacrifices were set up for offerings, burning paper and burning incense, expressing respect and condolences.
1917 On April 12, 1917, half a year after Cai E's death, his coffin was buried in Yuelu Mountain, Changsha, Hunan, and the government of the Republic of China held a state funeral for him. Cai E became the "first person in state funeral" since the Republic of China.
Since Xiao Fengxian met Cai E, she has ignited hope of breaking away from her family and Cai E has also expressed this to her. Unexpectedly, Cai E had a short life and Xiao Fengxian had such a miserable life. After Cai E's death, mourning activities were held across the country. When Beijing held a memorial service in , Zhongshan Park, , Xiao Fengxian appeared. She wore a blue cloth coat with a solemn expression. She slowly walked up to the stage, bowed to the portrait, left a couplet, and left quietly. When someone pointed out, "Isn't that Xiao Fengxian?" she had already walked away. The elegiac couplet she asked someone to write was:
90,000 miles south of the sky, rose straight up to Fuyao, pity him for the rest of his life, meet by chance and become a dream
18 years north of rouge, and he was sad and lost, winning a heroic confidant, and the color of peach blossoms is also for thousands of years
Xiao Fengxian's home
After Cai E's death, Xiao Fengxian disappeared. Until decades later, someone discovered her in a dilapidated bungalow in Shenyang. She is nearly fifty years old, she is short and fat, dressed in ordinary clothes, and looks like a citizen. Xiao Fengxian often goes to the storytelling library in the city to listen to storytelling . A man who lost his wife named Li Zhenhai also loves to listen to storytelling. The two met and fell in love with each other and got married in 1949. Xiao Fengxian, who had just entered the door, immediately became the mother of four children. Among the children, Li Youcai, the eldest son, is already in his 20s. He also joined the work and rarely goes home. The youngest daughter Li Guilan is in her teens. The children felt that this stepmother was so different from the women around them. Li Guilan recalled that her stepmother loved her children very much and regarded her as her own. She loves beauty, neatness, and doesn't like to work. When the founding of the People's Republic of China was just now, everyone was dressed very rustic, but she loved wearing cheongsams and had a small handkerchief on the side of the cheongsam.
1951, Peking Opera Art master Mei Lanfang led a delegation to the Korean battlefield to perform for Volunteer Army , and performed for local crowds when passing by Shenyang. When Xiao Fengxian heard about his arrival, she wrote a letter to Mei Lanfang, asking him if he still remembers himself and hopes to meet him. Mei Lanfang was very surprised when she received the letter, because since Xiao Fengxian left Beijing, she has disappeared for decades, and no one knows her whereabouts. Unexpectedly, she actually ran to Shenyang! Mei Lanfang lives in the guesthouse of the Northeast People's Government Communications Department, and he asked Xiao Fengxian to meet him. It is said that on that day, Xiao Fengxian put on her best clothes and took her daughter Li Guilan to see Mei Lanfang together. Mr. Mei was very polite to her. She told Mei Lanfang about her difficulties. In the past era, famous actors and famous prostitutes were once inferior people, but after the founding of New China, their status was very different. Finally, Mei Lanfang came forward to help and found her a health care worker position in the kindergarten of the Northeast People's Government Office School.
Xiao Fengxian treats people enthusiastically, gets along well with her neighbors, and has a good reputation. She lives incognito, and no one knows her past experiences. In her later years, she liked to drink some liquor, and loved to clean, and even listened to operas. She had a wicker box, which was said to have been bought at a grocery store on , Qianmen Street, . She took this wicker box and resolutely left Bada Hutong and left Beijing.In her spare time, she would open the box, take out a photo and take a closer look, look at the past years, her youth, and the legend of the chaotic times that never returns. If someone asks, "Who is you in military uniform in the photo?" she smiles happily: "A friend!"
General Cai's image gives her a lot of spiritual comfort and sustenance, and she spends the rest of her life holding General Cai's photo. Her love for Ruyan is so unforgettable! The beauty is old and her youth is hard to stay. In a flash, she can't help but burst into tears.
In the spring of 1954, Xiao Fengxian died of a cerebral hemorrhage, and she ended her legendary life. In less than a year of her last, in the spring of 1954, Xiao Fengxian died of a cerebral hemorrhage, leaving her legendary life. In less than a year after her illness, she couldn't take care of herself even when she was sick, and she was accompanied by Li Youcai's wife Tong Guiying. After Xiao Fengxian's death, her husband Li Zhenhai put her favorite photos into the coffin and buried them with her, and the rest were burned.
