Yan Renmei, who came from a famous family,
1915, Yan Renmei was born in a famous family . Her family has a very legendary color and has accumulated a lot of wealth and fame.
Yan Renmei's great-grandfather was an important aide to Li Hongzhang . Later, he also participated in the establishment of China's first bank, namely China Merchants Bank .
Yan Renmei's father was the eldest son of the Yan family . According to the tradition at that time, he inherited the family's career and enjoyed great fame.
Yan Renmei's mother is named Liu Chengyi, and is also a famous family. She gave birth to Yan Renmei shortly after marrying the Yan family.
As the first child of the Yan family, everyone is looking forward to having a boy , but Yan Renmei's birth not only failed to satisfy their wishes, but also an premature baby .
When Liu Chengyi gave birth to her, he experienced three days and three nights of pain. Because he was born two months earlier, Yan Renmei was very weak and looked very thin.

Not long after, the Yan family gave birth to a boy, and this child deserves more attention and expectations. It is not surprising that is in that era when boys prefer to girls.
However, due to his extremely wealthy family, Yan Renmei has lived a life of having no worries since childhood. She was taken care of by the nanny around her and lived a happy life.
Such a beautiful childhood did not last long. When Yan Renmei was 6 years old, her mother unfortunately passed away due to excessive blood loss after giving birth to her fifth child. In the same year, Yan Renmei also lost her grandmother who had always loved her.
Faced with one after another, the young Yan Renmei felt pain and sadness. From then on, she lacked the care of two close relatives. She had to face many things herself and grew up slowly in this environment.
Originally, the family hired a private school for Yan Renmei to receive education at home, but this kind of life soon made Yan Renmei feel bored and she wanted to go to school.

At that time, one of Yan Renmei's cousins went to Qixiu Girls' School, and Yan Renmei suggested that she also wanted to go to that school. This is a residential school with extremely strict management, and students cannot go home at will.
For this reason, Yan Renmei's father expressed disagreement, worried that she could not withstand such strict management. But Yan Renmei insisted on going, as if she wanted to make a sigh of relief. she said she was not afraid of hardship and would be able to persevere.
In desperation, the father had to agree to her request.
After graduating from elementary school, Yan Renmei's father felt that his daughter could just read so many books, and there was no need to go to school again, and he would not be able to use it in the future if he received so much education. But Yan Renmei cried and made a fuss to go, and she said she would continue to study anything.
Not only that, she also chose a Chinese and Western girls' middle school for herself, because there can be learned English.

Originally, his father saw that she was still young, agreed to let her continue to study. Although he did not think that this would be of any benefit to Yan Renmei's future, it was not a bad thing after all.
But in the second year of Yan Renmei, he introduced Yan Renmei to elementary school. , the cousin Wu Jing, who became Yan Renmei's role model, escaped from marriage. This caused a great sensation within the entire family.
Everyone pointed the finger at the incident: cousin Wu Jing shouldn't have read so many books . After Yan Renmei's father knew about this, he was very alert to cut off his daughter's contact with this "dangerous element".
and resolutely told Yan Renmei: "You should not go to school in the future, just stay at home honestly."
But in Yan Renmei's view, 's cousin's refusal to arrange a marriage is a reflection of ideological progress , which fully demonstrates the important role of reading in women's ideological liberation.

That proves that I should insist on studying. Faced with my father's obstruction, Yan Renmei refused to give in and said that she really wanted to learn cultural knowledge.
Faced with Yan Renmei's questioning, it seemed unreasonable for her father to refuse to let her study. So he made a request to Yan Renmei: "If you can get 90 points in every exam, you can continue to study , otherwise, there is no need to continue learning."
Before this, Yan Renmei's academic performance was not very good. She often had to work very hard to catch up with the level of ordinary classmates.
But at this time, trying to get high scores was her only way out, so Yan Renmei simply refused to go out with her friends at all, and spent her whole day studying. The final result obtained by
did not disappoint her. not only met her father's requirements, but also became the first in the grade , which made the teacher very amazed.

Yan Renmei originally thought that there would be no more obstruction of herself, but she did not expect that the so-called score limit, is just an excuse for her father, and he did not intend to abide by it.
As his daughter grows up day by day, Yan Renmei's father is planning his daughter's marriage in his heart. Seeing that Yan Renmei still insisted on studying, he simply confessed to her.
"You are old enough now, and we have found someone for you, it's time to get married."
The Yan family found someone for her is Mr. Ma from Kaiyilong Money House. The Ma family has a very strong financial strength. Yan's father thought that the two families can help each other in the future.
What's more coincidental is that the old lady in the Ma family was seriously ill at that time. The Ma family was about to get a marriage so that the old lady could enjoy , hoping that the earlier the two of them would get married, the better.
When she heard this news, Yan Renmei felt like she was thundering. She worked hard to study and pursued progress. But in the end, can she still be unable to get rid of the shackles of the family?

Yan Renmei was unwilling to do so and openly fought against her father , but Yan's father and Yan Renmei's stepmother had decided to marry Yan Renmei no matter what, and she would not let go no matter what she said.
In order to ensure that the marriage can go smoothly, The strict father even locked her into the room and asked the servants to take strict care of her. Except for daily meal delivery, no one is allowed to contact her.
At this time, Yan Renmei was extremely discouraged. She was unwilling to marry someone she didn't know, and her fate was at the mercy of others from now on.
Since life has no hope, why bother to support it? Yan Renmei, who has a strong personality, decided to go on a hunger strike and did not take a bite of food for two days.
Seeing Yan Renmei getting weaker and weaker, Yan's father was not soft-hearted at all. The wet nurse who raised Yan Renmei since childhood felt very distressed, so went privately to ask Yan Renmei's grandfather for help.

When Yan Renmei's grandfather learned about this, she was very angry. The Yan family actually took advantage of the death of her daughter and treated her granddaughter like this.
He immediately found someone to go to Yan's house, forced his granddaughter back to his side , and made the excuse Yan Renmei wanted to accompany him to recuperate and could not go back.
Yan Renmei finally had a time to be cared for and loved, and she also felt very happy during this period. However, she can't stay at her grandfather's house forever, things always need to be resolved.
In the end, Yan Renmei and her father decided to take a step back, and Yan's father agreed to his daughter continue to study, but he had to get married first.
That's it, Yan Renmei eventually married Ma Guanliang , whom she had never met, and failed to get rid of her family's control. But being able to continue reading was enough for her.
The wedding of the two was held in Xuyuan, Shanghai. The whole ceremony was very grand. Celebrities from all walks of life in China were also present. They were full of wealth and power while chatting and laughing.

Yan Renmei's first marriage
After the wedding, Yan Renmei is ready to continue to go back to school according to her original idea .
But soon after, she found out that she was pregnant and showed various adverse reactions after pregnancy, which made her completely lose her chance to school.
Then she realized that marriage is just the first shackle that binds her . After that, countless shackles will be added to her in a constant stream.
Until now, there is no room for regret for the matter. Moreover, Yan Renmei has tried her best to do anything she can do.
But such a reality is not what he expected after all, so Yan Renmei often looked worried and couldn't be happy no matter what she did.
Picture丨Yan Renmei
At the beginning of her marriage, Ma Guanliang was still very considerate to Yan Renmei. He knew that Yan Renmei wanted to continue studying, so he specially hired her an English teacher to let her study at home.
In order to relieve Yan Renmei's boredom, Ma Guanliang often takes her out for fun. They drive very spacious and cool cars, and everyone on the road looks envious.
But all of this only relieves Yan Renmei's inner sorrow on the surface, but in fact, Ma Guanliang just wants to use a lot of wealth to tie Yan Renmei into this family.
What he did, , is actually no different from Yan's previous discipline of Yan Renmei. Although is very considerate on the surface, it does not allow Yan Renmei to have more freedom.
What really made this marriage increasingly destructive was because of Ma Guanliang's own indulgence. He was like a rich child from the old hour . He was looking for flowers and willows outside shortly after getting married.

Faced with Yan Renmei's opposition, Ma Guanliang not only did not feel guilty, but instead complained that Yan Renmei should not be so stingy.
In this way, the two became increasingly disagreement, and finally, the marriage came to an end. Perhaps, two people with such huge differences in their thinking should not have come together.
Yan Renmei lived a very pitiful life after marriage. Yan's father felt that Yan Renmei was wrong, and even her divorce was still in the darkness of the family. Under the fanning of her current wife, they did not accept Yan Renmei who had nowhere to go.
At the same time, Ma Guanliang did not let Yan Renmei see their children, and Yan Renmei could only secretly look at them at the door when the children were out of school every day.
In order not to leave a few children, although she was almost in desperate situation in Shanghai, she still didn't want to leave this place.
Fortunately, Yan Renmei has a godmother Sheng Guanyi . She always regards Yan Renmei as her child. Seeing that she was desperate, she found a residence for her in Shanghai.

In addition, Yan Renmei also has some friends who treat her sincerely . They often come to visit and care about Yan Renmei and provide her with help in life.
includes Song Ailing's daughter Kong Lingyi . She and Yan Renmei have been good friends for a long time. When Yan Renmei was in trouble, their family would often help her.
Therefore, although he lost the care of his relatives, with the support of his friends, Yan Renmei's life has also improved day by day and has new expectations.
But fate always refuses to let go of this poor woman. Later, she was harassed by the Japanese and her life fell into a desperate situation again.
Fortunately, Yan Renmei met her second husband . Although their marriage was hasty, they were truly in love.
After experiencing so many things, Yan Renmei only hopes to live a peaceful life . With the company of her lover and children, this life is enough.

Reviewing Yan Renmei's life, it can be said that her life has too many unsatisfactory, but life has also polished her and . Her attitude towards everything is indifferent, and makes her an open-minded and optimistic person.
Because of this, Yan Renmei, who has experienced the ups and downs of the world, only pays attention to her own life. does not ask too many things, and finally got a good ending . Now we sincerely wish Yan Renmei can enjoy her old age.
