Early one morning in 1929, in the Jinjiang Sichuan restaurant, the proprietress Dong Zhujun was busy serving an endless stream of guests. Suddenly, a slightly depressed young man, dressed in shabby clothes, walked into her sight.
A young man was freed from Kuomintang prison and began to search for the whereabouts of the party organization. In the bustling city of Shanghai, he was faced with hunger and cold, but fortunately met the help of several fellow inmates, including a holder of a letter of introduction.
The young man met Dong Zhujun and got her help and money. The chance encounter between them became the key to the turning point in their lives. Decades later, this story was widely circulated, unveiling the prelude to Dong Zhujun's legendary life.
She was not of noble origin, but she had amazing achievements. It all stems from her courage to face difficulties and try new things. Although she was once trapped in the Qinglou, she walked out of her own path with her own efforts and talents.
Her story teaches us that everyone has their own value and potential, and as long as they have the courage to pursue it, they will be able to achieve their dreams.
FigDong Zhujun is loved by his parents because of his family's poverty, and he will try his best to meet any request. However, as fate would have it, my mother's work as a maid was always inevitably annoyed, and the same was true for another family, which always didn't last long, and finally lost my job.
Disaster did not go alone, my father suddenly fell ill with typhoid fever and began to be sick in bed. In order to treat his father's illness, his mother had to pawn all the valuable things in the family, and the family became poorer and poorer, and even the family was surrounded by walls, so he could only borrow money everywhere.
With hope, Dong Zhujun came to a relative to borrow money, but was ruthlessly refused. In desperation, his parents had no choice but to sell Dong Zhujun to the Qinglou for 300 oceans.
She learned to sing songs in it, sang songs for others to make money, and finally became popular with her beautiful appearance and beautiful voice. This experience made Dong Zhujun deeply understand the difficulties of life, and she vowed to make money in the future and get rid of poverty.
FigDong Zhujun In this mixed place, she not only met all kinds of people, but also experienced the cruel abuse of Chunhua by the old bustard. She couldn't help but worry about how she would resist if the bustard persecuted her in the future.
Just then, a young Overseer named Xia Shishi appeared. He fell in love with Dong Zhujun at first sight, but Dong Zhujun knew that he already had a wife and was unwilling to be someone else's concubine.
However, when Dong Zhujun tried to discuss with the bustard that she would only sing for three years and go home, the bustard began to force her to pick up customers. Dong Zhujun would rather die, but the old bustard sent someone to stare at her, and she could only be locked up.
Fortunately, the kind-hearted aunt came up with a way for her to find Xia Zhishi and marry Xia Zhishi, so as to get out of here. The aunt said that Xia Zhizhi really liked her, and he followed Sun Yat-sen to launch the Xinhai Revolution in his early years, and now he is serving as the deputy governor, and his future is limitless.
FigAfter hearing this, Dong Zhujun's heart moved slightly, but there were still entanglements in his heart, and he really didn't want to be someone else's concubine. At this moment, Xia Zhi appeared and came to the Qinglou to look for her.
After the two met, Xia Zhishi explained that he had recently returned to his hometown and learned that his wife had passed away, and now he is officially proposing to you. After Dong Zhujun heard this, she was overjoyed in her heart, and told Xia Zhizhi about the bustard forcing her to pick up customers.
After hearing this, Xia Zhizhi expressed his willingness to redeem her and get married. Dong Zhujun replied: "I'm not an item, and I won't be dissatisfied just because you bought it with money." ”
After confirming each other's intentions, the two began to plan Dong Zhujun's escape. Dong Zhujun first negotiated with the old bustard and ransomed himself with 300 oceans. In order to keep Dong Zhujun, the old bustard opened his mouth and asked for a ransom fee of 30,000 oceans.
After Dong Zhujun heard this, he was angry: "When I came in, I only spent 300 oceans, but I asked 30,000 oceans to redeem my body, and the old bustard's heart was too dark to give her a penny." ”
Dong Zhujun was only 15 years old, but he managed to successfully redeem himself. In 1914, Dong Zhujun and Xia Zhishi held a French wedding in Shanghai. On the wedding day, Dong Zhujun wore a French-style dress, while Xia Zhi wore a tuxedo.
The two look talented and beautiful, and they are very compatible. Soon after their marriage, the two came to Japan according to their plan. There, Dong Zhujun spent a happier period of time.
Dong Zhujun entered the Tokyo Women's Higher Normal School in Japan and received a good education. For her, this is a rare opportunity to read, and naturally she cannot miss it.
Like a piece of cotton, she desperately sucks up knowledge. Xia Zhi was also by his side to take care of Dong Zhujun. During that time, the relationship between the two was very good and they gave birth to a daughter.
But as time went on, fate changed again. Although Xia Zhizhi was educated in new ideas, the feudal ideology in his bones was deeply rooted. Before Dong Zhujun entered the school, he gave her a pistol in case she committed suicide in case of an accident and could not lose her virginity.
Not only that, but he also felt that women should be dependent on men, and his control over Dong Zhujun became stronger and stronger. For this reason, he specially called his fourth brother to Japan and arranged him to be by Dong Zhujun's side, always keeping an eye on Dong Zhujun's every move.
FigDong Zhujun and Xia Zhishi's family In 1917, Dong Zhujun followed Xia Zhishi back to his hometown in Sichuan. Xia Shizhi's enthusiasm for the revolution had long since dissipated, and he turned to use the power in his hands to set up checkpoints, impose taxes, and seek personal benefits for himself, which caused the anger of the people.
Dong Zhujun is kind-hearted and always tries to persuade her husband to change his behavior, but is treated coldly or reprimanded every time. In this case, Xia Zhizhi quickly lost power and completely collapsed.
However, after the fall of Xia Zhishi, he did not repent, but intensified. He was addicted to gambling and drugs, and his temper became more and more irritable, and he often beat and scolded Dong Zhujun and her children.
At first, Dong Zhujun hoped that Dai Jitao and others could persuade her husband, but the result was not satisfactory, which made her disheartened. What's worse is that Xia Zhishi also called Dong Zhujun's parents as servants and insulted them at will.
Once, in front of the guests, Xia Zhizhi accused Dong Zhujun's father of stealing opium, and Dong Zhujun's father was angry and anxious, and he was in tears. Another time, Dong Zhujun's mother accidentally lost a hairpin, and when Xia Zhishi saw it, she immediately ** it up.
All this made Dong Zhujun completely lose confidence in marriage. The real reason for the breakdown of their marriage was about their daughter's education. Dong Zhujun has received private school and Japanese school education since he was a child, and has advanced ideological concepts.
She attaches great importance to the education of her children and provides them with good learning conditions. In order to train her daughter, she hired a piano teacher and practiced the piano with her daughter every morning.
Later, she met the composer Sha Mei, and with his encouragement, she decided to let her daughter apply for a professional ** school. However, there was no such school in Sichuan at that time, so Dong Zhujun decided to take her daughter to Shanghai to study.
However, Xia Zhizhi did not think it was necessary to let his daughters go to school, and he would wait until they grew up to find a good family for them. This concept caused the two to quarrel many times, and their relationship gradually drifted apart.
Although Dong Zhujun wanted to endure it for the sake of her children, an incident happened that made her completely determined. That day, Xia Zhishi saw Dong Zhujun sending a teacher out, mistakenly thought she was cheating, kicked her down and picked up a kitchen knife.
Dong Zhujun was terrified and decided to end the marriage. After the divorce, Dong Zhujun lived alone in Shanghai with his children.
FigDong Zhujun is a woman who makes a living alone in Shanghai, in order to live, she sold her necklace to get 800 oceans, and set up a factory in partnership with others, but it is not easy to make money.
In order to make the factory work, Dong Zhujun personally went around selling products, and once, she came to Rong Desheng's office to sell products, but was ridiculed by the staff. Although Dong Zhujun was embarrassed by everyone's whispers, she still didn't give up.
Fortunately, the factory is getting thriving and business is getting better. However, the good times did not last long, the 128 Incident broke out, the Japanese army blew up the factory, and Dong Zhujun was arrested and imprisoned.
It turned out that Dong Zhujun was deeply influenced by progressive ideas when the May Fourth Movement broke out, and began to contact the Communist Party and give help to the Communists. Even when she came to Shanghai, she still secretly made friends with the Communists and helped the Communists.
Therefore, after the Japanese army learned about it, they detained Dong Zhujun for four months on the charge of being a suspect. In the past four months, her family has also suffered changes, and the four daughters of the family can only rely on the eldest daughter to teach piano to make a living, and life is very difficult.
The elderly parents also died of fear because they were worried about what happened to Dong Zhujun. After Dong Zhujun was released from prison, he was sad when he learned all this. Fortunately, at this time, Li Chonggao heard about what happened to Dong Zhujun and lent her 2,000 oceans.
After Dong Zhujun got the money, he rented a house in Shanghai and opened a Sichuan restaurant. The restaurant is in a great location, facing a wide road and next to a vacant lot. Dong Zhujun placed famous calligraphy and paintings in the interior of the restaurant to enhance the elegant pattern, and she also deliberately designed some elements with Japanese characteristics to meet the needs of different guests.
In addition, she used disposable chopsticks for the first time to ensure hygiene. For a time, the restaurant has become a major feature of Shanghai with its clean and elegant environment, and is highly sought after by everyone.
However, in Shanghai, where there are many fish and dragons, it is difficult to operate for a long time without a strong background. However, Dong Zhujun successfully survived under the influence of the bigwigs and developed his career thriving with his unique business philosophy and unique way of dealing with the world.
In the process, Dong Zhujun also met Song Shilun, a young man who had just come out of prison. After Song Shilun was released from prison due to the Kuomintang's White Terror**, he came to Shanghai to look for an organization.
After being introduced by others, he came to Dong Zhujun's restaurant for help. After Dong Zhujun learned of the situation, he gave Song Shilun a sum of money and sent him away.
FigDong Zhujun Dong Zhujun, a talented woman, not only runs a successful restaurant, but is also a supporter and fighter of the revolution. She used her hotel to protect the revolutionaries, used her savings to support the anti-Japanese forces, founded a women's magazine to speak out for women, and aided the revolutionaries and supported the Communist comrades.
Even after taking refuge in the Philippines in 1940 and returning to Shanghai after the war, she still founded the American Printing House, printing and publishing progressive publications and secret documents, and indirectly contributed to the liberation of Shanghai.
Although she did not become a member of the Communist Party, she had close ties with the CCP's revolution, and in times of crisis, she even helped the Communist Party obtain information that the Kuomintang was preparing to assassinate democrats, and helped Zhang Lan, Luo Longji and others leave Shanghai safely.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, her hotel became the first hotel to welcome foreign guests and received nearly 300 foreign leaders, including Nixon. However, for her, Song Shilun was just an ordinary help, and now, she has become an important figure in society.
Dong Zhujun's life is full of twists and turns and tenacity, and her story is a hymn to courage and tenacity. At the annual meeting of industrial, agricultural, commercial and entrepreneur in the New Year, Song Shilun recognized Dong Zhujun.
He always remembered Dong Zhujun's funding at the beginning, without her funding, maybe he would not have today's achievements. When he saw Dong Zhujun, he couldn't wait to step forward and express his gratitude.
Dong Zhujun was also taken aback when he learned his identity. She never thought that the founding general in front of her would be the down-and-out young man at the beginning. She didn't expect that this kindness Song Shilun would remember for decades.
Since then, the two have become friends and often visit each other. They are not relatives, but they are like relatives, and their feelings are very deep. As time passed, Dong Zhujun grew old. She did not let her daughter inherit the family business, but chose to hand over the restaurant to the state and renamed it Jin Jiang Hotel.
After that, she began to live a quiet retirement. Once there is time, Dong Zhujun and Song Shilun will simply get together and talk and laugh. It is worth mentioning that Dong Zhujun's education for his daughter is even more commendable.
With her support, several of her daughters have traveled abroad to learn different techniques. Later, when China and the United States had not yet established diplomatic relations, he hurriedly returned to China. Several of her daughters have come from a special era, and they all have special stories, ups and downs in their fates, or joy or tragedy.
But they all follow the example of their mothers, tenaciously face the hardships of life and live optimistically. At the age of 98, Dong Zhujun died of illness. She once looked back on her life and had no regrets about life, just a little regret about love.
Dong Zhujun's life has gone through many eras, but he broke free from the shackles of the times and became a representative figure. When she encountered an unhappy marriage, she did not choose to feel sorry for herself, but chose to bravely get out of the shackles and create her own life.
Dong Zhujun's life is like a classic life picture, showing how a woman dares to face the challenges of life, how to rise from difficulties, and how to move from failure to success.
Her story shows us that no matter how difficult life is, as long as we have courage and tenacity, we will be able to achieve our dreams.
FigDong Zhujun's family, Dong Zhujun's encounter with Song Shilun, is known as a good story. Her help not only changed Song Shilun's fate, but also made a legend.
However, in that era of sudden change, their story was just a piece of gravel. Exploring Dong Zhujun's experience, we find that she is a completely independent woman in spirit and career.
She is self-respecting and self-loving, tenacious and unyielding, with both beautiful appearance and independent personality. She was always independent in spirit and at heart, never dependent on others.
