Pu Yi's sister set up a stall, and Ma Weidu offered an official kiln, but she ignored it
Pu Yi's abdication symbolizes the collapse of the feudal monarchy system that has lasted for more than 2,000 years, which is not only the end of the old era, but also the beginning of the new era. However, while the country is undergoing changes, there is also a group of people who are at the crossroads of their fate.
As the last emperor, not only Pu Yi was reduced from the Son of Heaven to Buyi, but even the status of other princes and princesses in the Forbidden City also plummeted. In the face of such a dramatic change, what will be their fate?
Next, we will talk about the protagonist, known as the most beautiful princess of the late Qing Dynasty - Yun Ying. She is Pu Yi's own sister, born in the royal family, but because of the change, she can only make a living by setting up stalls on the streets.
Despite her ill-fated fate, she bloomed into a brilliant flower of life in the ordinary. Today, let's walk into Yun Ying's legendary life together.
Sangege, born in a noble family, has a noble status. She is the third daughter of the regent Zaifeng, and Pu Yi's mother is a compatriot, blood is thicker than water, and she is deeply loved by Pu Yi, and the relationship between the two is close.
After the death of Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi, Puyi, who was only three years old, was put on the throne. Because he was still young and knew nothing about the government, Pu Yi's father, Zaifeng, served as the regent of the prison state and was responsible for teaching him.
As a result, the regent's palace was in favor of the government and the opposition, and the court's rewards were abundant, making the palace live a prosperous life. The young Pu Yi lived alone in the palace, and as Pu Yi's close sister, Yun Ying often went in and out of the palace to visit her brother.
She has frequently shuttled in the imperial city and witnessed the dedication of countless rare treasures, just like a fairyland on earth. There are three or four kind nurses around to take care of them, accompanied by many maids and servants on the left and right, life and living are of the highest quality, delicacies and delicacies are everything, dressed in silk and satin, the porcelain in the room is priceless, so that ordinary people are difficult to reach.
Although she lived a luxurious life, she was not empty, but knowledgeable and talented. Showing outstanding talent from an early age, coupled with the careful teaching of her father, her knowledge far surpassed that of her peers.
Her superior background and rich experience have given her insight and vision beyond ordinary people. This is Yun Yinggege's self-confidence, and it is also the arrogance in her bones**. In 1912, the Qing Dynasty ended, the social landscape changed drastically, and even members of the royal family, such as Pu Yi and Yun Ying, could not escape the change of identity, and Gege's identity became a thing of the past.
Although the Qing Dynasty fell, under the agreement with the revolutionary party, Pu Yi and the old people in the palace could still stay in the Forbidden City and enjoy royal treatment. Pu Yi no longer had to deal with government affairs, he had more time, but his range of activities was limited and his freedom was not high.
In order to relieve the depression in his heart, the former ministers took Pu Yi's brothers and sisters to the palace to accompany him, including Yun Ying. In the cage-like place of the Forbidden City, the two depend on each other for their lives and have a closer relationship.
In 1924, Feng Yuxiang's troops besieged the Forbidden City, and when Pu Yi was forced to leave the palace, Yun Ying followed her brother on a journey of escape. Although he fled in a hurry, when Pu Yi left the palace, he took with him a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and also took Empress Wanrong and Wen Xiu with him, so his life was quite rich.
Wanrong has a younger brother, Runlin, he often comes to visit them, and after many contacts, Runlin and Yunying gradually get acquainted and develop feelings for each other. However, due to the turmoil, Pu Yi did not have time to consider Yun Ying's marriage.
Seeing that Yun Ying had reached marriageable age, Pu Yi arranged a marriage for them and fulfilled their love.
19-year-old Yun Ying and Runlin tied the knot, and their life is as sweet as a poem. However, the status of the royal family dictates that their fate cannot be calm. Things change when Pu Yi, who was expelled from the Forbidden City, tried to find hope for a revival of the Qing Dynasty in the Japanese.
In 1931, under the protection of the Japanese army, Pu Yi secretly infiltrated Northeast China. After arriving in the Northeast, he realized that he had been deceived, he underestimated the ambitions of the Japanese and became a puppet of the puppet Manchukuo.
To facilitate surveillance, Japan coerced Pu Yi and used his influence to plot a larger conspiracy. At their request, Yun Ying had to go to Japan to study.
In a foreign country, Yun Ying was monitored by the Japanese, and her freedom was severely restricted, which made her soul tormented, and her indifference to the Japanese made her physically and mentally exhausted.
In 1933, she embarked on the road back to her homeland on the pretext of visiting relatives. When she returned to her homeland, she never wanted to return to Japan. Runqi also returned to the puppet state of Manchukuo from Japan and found a job, where the two settled.
However, happy times are always short-lived. In 1945, Japan surrendered, the puppet Manchurian regime completely collapsed, and everyone was forced to leave their hometown again and embark on the road of escape.
Pu Yi was taken over by the Soviet Red Army and spent time in the War Criminals Management and Reform Center, and Runlin disappeared while on the run. Without the support of her brother and husband, Yun Ying can only face life alone.
Growing up in a sweet environment, she knows almost nothing about the hardships and basic skills of life.
Life is cruel beyond imagination, and she is burdened with the livelihood of her family and cannot escape. In order to survive, she reluctantly began to set up a stall to sell antiques. In 1949, Peking was peacefully liberated, and although life was still hard, her mentality changed.
From an ignorant character, he has become an independent and self-reliant ordinary man, resolutely defending the regime of New China.
After her superiors learned of Yun Ying's plight, she was allowed to return to Beijing to visit her family because of her excellent performance. So, she returned to Beijing with her family to seek her father's help.
However, she was saddened to find out that her father had died. The hardships of life prevented her from dasking in pain for long periods of time, and she had to feed herself and her family. Luckily, her father left her some dilapidated empty houses, which she rented out to barely make ends meet.
Although life was still hard, she did not complain and did not sink, but worked hard to create life with her hands. In her interactions with her neighbors, she was recognized by everyone for her kind and kind attitude, and she was also helped by everyone in her life, and was even elected as the leader of the resident group and the director of public security, and participated in the work of the street.
In 1954, the director of the ** Literature and History Research Museum accidentally found Yun Ying's letter to Pu Yi on a used bookshelf.
So, he reported the matter to the chairman, and after discussion, it was decided to arrange Yun Ying to be a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Dongcheng District, Beijing, so that her life was improved. Although life has improved, she still misses her husband Runlin.
After seven years of imprisonment through labor, Runlin was released and returned home in 1957. The couple, who had been separated for 12 years, were finally able to meet. At this time, they are all gray-haired, and after half a lifetime of separation, they can finally stay together and live a stable and stable life.
In the 80s of the last century, with the recovery of the country's economy, the antique collecting industry gradually recovered. Many collectors began to acquire antiques in large quantities and had them tasted. Yun Ying also took out her collection and set up a stall on the roadside.
Because she has read countless treasures and is well-informed, the antiques in her hand have also attracted the attention of many ordinary people. The famous collector Ma Weidu came here, on the one hand, he really wanted to ask her to taste antiques, and on the other hand, he had a little show-off in his heart.
Sangege, who was noble at the beginning, now makes a living by setting up stalls, which inevitably makes him have some show-off psychology.
When Ma Weidu happily took out a treasure official kiln, Yun Ying didn't seem to care, indifferent as water, which made Ma Weidu's heart tighten, could it be that he spent a lot of money to buy it was a fake?
In fact, the official kiln in Ma Weidu's hands is not a fake, but because what he took out is nothing in Yun Ying's eyes. She was born in the royal family, and she had seen countless rare treasures, and she had long been accustomed to this level of official kiln, so she didn't even look at it.
Although Yun Ying's life is full of ups and downs and legendary, she has not abandoned the arrogance in her bones because of this. Her eyes are always on real life, and she is more concerned about how to fill her stomach and survive, rather than flashy treasures.
Ma Weidu was deeply admired, he knew that even if she was in the mud, Yun Ying could maintain a calm and open-minded attitude, and she was no longer the pampered "Gege".
Her heart is full of tenacity and wisdom, and she is a woman worthy of everyone's respect.
In 1992, Yun Ying passed away at the age of 79, completing her life journey and fulfilling her wishes. ** once commented that she "stepped into the masses and became a person with lofty ideals." ”
In the change of times, experiencing the rise and fall of dynasties, the ups and downs of life, Yun Ying became a victim, her life was full of ups and downs, but the huge changes did not break her, even in the difficult situation, she still maintained a positive attitude and lived out herself.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, as the last generation of imperial relatives, she carried too much, whether it was a nobleman or a commoner, she never let go of her inner tenacity and pride.
In the predicament, she still adheres to the character of self-improvement, and inspires us with her legendary story, whether in good times or bad, each stage of life has its unique beauty, live in the present, and face the gains and losses of life with an indifferent attitude.
