Before the founding of New China, the big landlords, the representatives of the feudal class, were the objects of hatred of the peasant people, who plundered the people and did evil everywhere, causing the peasants to live in misery. The blood and sweat of countless ordinary people can only support the extravagant life of a few big landowners.
A bully landlord, Liu Wencai, has an ordinary background, but he has achieved a career with his business talents. His family history is full of legends, but he is also one of the representatives of ruthless tyrants. In the process of making a fortune, his business acumen was brought to good use.
Liu Wencai's brother Liu Wenhui gained a foothold in the political circles and became a well-known leader of the party. The two brothers supported each other, and Liu Wenhui helped his brother in the Kuomintang to hold some important positions with a lot of oil and water, and was in charge of many profiteering industries. So, Liu Wencai began his crazy road of accumulating wealth, and the wealth of the two brothers became more and more abundant, and they soon became the local "rich party".
In 1932, Liu Wencai returned to his hometown in Dayi County with a group of people and countless belongings. In order to maintain a luxurious life, he set his sights on the land that cost more than ** in the famine years, and began to plunder the land of the peasants, while making huge profits from the opium trade. Liu Wencai even built a "Liu Manor" covering an area of more than 70,000 square meters, which became a place of entertainment for the Liu family. Through improper means, he accumulated a huge land area, which reached 12,000 acres.
Liu Wencai is not only a business person, but also a womanizer. He married five wives and concubines in his life, most of which he forcibly occupied. His first main room, the Lu family, was his wife of the chaff, and turned a blind eye to Liu Wencai's ** unruliness. However, Lu's life was not happy, and the death of her two children left her in deep pain. In the end, Lu passed away, leaving behind a rich and lonely Liu Wencai.
Liu Wencai's second wife, Yang Zhonghua, was a peasant girl. She gave birth to two children, but Liu Wencai's indulgent life made her unbearable. In the end, she chose to leave the Liu family, leaving behind a rich and lonely Liu Wencai.
Yang Zhonghua's departure did not make Liu Wencai relent, on the contrary, he brought back a Qinglou woman, Ling Junru. This flower-like woman has become Liu Wencai's new favorite, but it has also caused a lot of waves in the family. In order to maintain his position, Ling Junru tried his best to cater to Liu Wencai, but in the end he could not escape the fate of being left out in the cold. She finally chose to introduce her cousin Liang Huiling to Liu Wencai so that she could leave quietly.
Liu Wencai's fifth wife, Wang Yuqing, is a woman born in the countryside. Her beauty and temperament made Liu Wencai fall in love with her. Wang Yuqing encouraged Liu Wencai to set up a school to cultivate talents, and the two of them jointly contributed to the society. Wang Yuqing's intelligence and beauty made her the darling of Liu Wencai's heart.
Among Liu Wencai's five marriages, only Wang Yuqing got a good death. She and Liu Wencai jointly run the "Wencai Middle School" and work hard to cultivate talents. She found her place in the life of a local tyrant and went through a life of ups and downs with Liu Wencai.
The life of the bully landlord Liu Wencai, although full of legends, is also the epitome of ruthless local tyrants. He lived a life of luxury and wealth in the accumulation of wealth, but he also lost many precious things in the emotional strife. The life of a tyrant may bring luxury in a short period of time, but it is difficult to bring true happiness.
The life story of Liu Wencai, a bully landlord, is undoubtedly a historical microcosm that is both tortuous and deeply ironic. His life, from ordinary to rich, from crazy wealth to emotional strife, highlights the various shortcomings of feudal society and the complexity of human nature.
First of all, Liu Wencai's business talent played a key role in his family history. He was able to rise from a well-off family and become a local "rich party", not only because of the support of his brother Liu Wenhui in political circles, but also because of his own business acumen. This business acumen was prized in the social environment of the time, but the fact that he chose to get rich was to base his wealth on the misery of countless people through shady means such as the seizure of peasant land and the sale of opium, which made his so-called success even more ironic.
Secondly, Liu Wencai's love life is not only a prominent feature, but also a contradictory experience in his life. He was married five times, each with a dramatic twist. His marriage was not based on affection, but on status, power, and lust for beauty. This concept of marriage reflects the excessive pursuit of power and money in feudal society, which makes him fall into the whirlpool of feelings in the ruthless life of a local tyrant.
Especially in the attitude towards wives and concubines, Liu Wencai's indulgence and indifference have caused people to think deeply. His indifference to his first wife, Lu's indifference, his overindulgence of Yang Zhonghua, and then to his tortuous marriage to Ling Junru, this series of choices and behaviors highlight his indifference and irresponsibility to his feelings. Even in the life of a local tyrant and wealth, he has lost a lot because of the squandering of his feelings.
In the end, Wang Yuqing, the only fifth wife who received a good death, became the most gratifying character in this story. Her wisdom and beauty not only made her Liu Wencai's darling, but also promoted the cause of the two of them to jointly run schools and cultivate talents. She found her place in the world of local tyrants and spent a stormy life with Liu Wencai. Her good death may also be a reward for sticking to her original intention and pursuing truth, goodness and beauty.
On the whole, Liu Wencai's life is not only a portrayal of the shortcomings of feudal society, but also a reflection on the complexity of human nature. His successes and failures, wealth and loneliness, make the story all the more profound and intriguing. Perhaps in this historical figure, we can see the dark side of feudal society and the twists and turns of human nature, and we can also better reflect on the values and moral bottom line in modern society.
