In that turbulent era, the fate of the last imperial concubine Wenxiu attracted much attention. After she divorced Pu Yi, Pu Yi paid her 550,000 yuan in alimony, but the premise is that she can't remarry and can't do anything that damages Puyi's reputation. This condition makes people curious about the future of cultural embroidery.
However, fate does not seem to favor Wenxiu. Before she got the alimony, she was deceived by her niece half of it, and only half of Qian Wenxiu was left to buy a house in Beijing to live with her sister Wenshan. In order to support herself, Wenxiu used the old name Fu Yufang to become a teacher in a private school and began a self-sufficient life.
However, the good times did not last long, and the identity of Princess Wenxiu was **, which caused a sensation. Reporters and ** poured into the school one after another, and went to the school every day to watch the embroidery, which seriously interfered with her normal work and life. In order not to be disturbed by them, Wenxiu had to dismiss her job as a teacher.
After that, Wen embroidered cardboard boxes, worked as a mason, and even sold cigarettes on the street, but unfortunately reporters are everywhere, and no job can be done for long. Her life has become extremely difficult, and people can't help but lament the injustice of fate.
Fortunately, with the help of a friend, Wenxiu got a job as a newspaper proofreader, and her life gradually settled down. However, Wenxiu's love life did not go well. Although she fell in love and married Liu Zhendong, a major officer of the Kuomintang, it was deeply regrettable that she had long passed the best childbearing age and had no children in her life.
In 1953, Wenxiu suffered a myocardial infarction at home, and her husband Liu Zhendong ordered a thin coffin to bury her hastily. As the last imperial concubine, Wen Xiu's ending is embarrassing. In contrast, the last queen's graceful evening scene was even more miserable.
In that turbulent era, Wenxiu's fate was full of ups and downs and helplessness. As the last imperial concubine, although she left the palace, she still couldn't get rid of the shackles of feudal etiquette and social pressure. Her experience makes people deeply sympathetic, and it also makes people think deeply about the fate of women in that era.
We should cherish the current peace and stability and strive for more equality and respect for women. At the same time, we should also pay attention to those who are still living in difficulty, provide them with help and support, and let them feel the warmth and care of society.
