Speaking of**Those noble ladies, we have the impression that it was already in the twenties and thirties of the last century, and I feel that this topic is too far away, indeed, such a person in this issue is still alive now, a 108-year-old man, and he was also a frequent visitor to the social places of high society on the beach, her good girlfriend's family background, either dignitaries, or chaebol rich, the eldest lady of the Kong family, Kong Lingyi, and her sisters, she is called "**The last celebrity", she is Yan Renmei.
Speaking of Yan Renmei, we still have to start from her family background, her great-grandfather is a native of Fei City, Cixi, Zhejiang (now Jiangbei District), called Yan Xinhou, the word Xiaofang, is an important staff member of Li Hongzhang, founded China's first bank - China Commerce Bank, and served as the first president, founded China's first insurance company - Huaxing Insurance Company, founded the first match factory in Zhejiang - Cixi Match Factory, founded the first machine ginning factory in modern China, and founded the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, so he is known as the "originator" of the Ningbo Gang.
Yan Xinhou died in 1906, not long after the establishment of **, and the status of the Yan family in ** can be seen.
Yan Renmei's grandfather, Yan Zijun, mainly engaged in the most profitable money village business in the shopping mall, including the famous Yuanfeng Run Yinhao, Yuanji, Deyuan and many other money banks, the Wuhua Lou gold store in Shanghai Chenghuang Temple and the old Jiuzhang Silk Village on Nanjing Road, all of which are in his family's industry.
Yan Renmei's father is called Yan Zhiduo, he was born with so many industries, he is a typical rich second generation at that time, ** version of Wang Sicong, Yan Zhiduo grew up**, Yan Zhang Luo He married the head of Huzhou Nanxun "Four Elephants" - Liu Yong's granddaughter as his wife, Nanxun has four elephants, eight cows and seventy-two dogs, and only those with a family property of more than one million can be called "elephants", which shows that this marriage is a strong team, full of gold and jade.
In 1915, Yan Renmei, who was born with a golden spoon, was the first child of the Yan family, but she was born at eight months, she was born prematurely, and she was born without hair. In order not to grow hair, Yan's mother didn't worry less, little Yan Renmei was less than two years old, she was shaved seven times, it seems that the child's hair is getting longer and longer, this is not a natural law, Xiao Renmei's hair is still thin, and later she was taken to the UK to see a specialist, and she returned home with thick hair.
Born in the family of the giants on the beach, although Yan Renmei is her daughter's family, but her family has placed high hopes on her since she was a child, and literacy and hyphenation must be indispensable, she was sent to the famous aristocratic school at that time - Chinese and Western Girls' High School to study, and the girls who can study in this school are all children of the upper class at that time, and their family background is either rich or expensive.
There were more than 90 people in Yan Renmei's grade at that time, and he and seven other girls with the best relationship formed a "group of eight", and the second from the right in the second row of the * middle was Yan Renmei.
These eight girls are all young ladies from wealthy families, including Lin Ying, the daughter of the Lin family, the richest man in Fujian at that time, Zhang Hanfen, the daughter of the vice minister of finance, Huang Huibao, the daughter of the famous industrialist Huang Chujiu, and so on.
Although she was born in a famous family, Yan Renmei's academic performance is not ambiguous, and she has scored more than 90 points in all courses, but in the second year of junior high school, there was an escape incident in the Yan family, which caused a lot of commotion, and it was the time when the feminist movement was rising, and the self-consciousness of the new women in knowledge was awakening.
It just so happened that this year, the Ma family in Suzhou took a fancy to Yan Renmei, and sent people to propose marriage many times, the Ma family has been in business for many years, although it is not as big and deep-rooted as the Yan family, but it is also a solid family, and the Yan family can be regarded as a good match, and the Ma family promises that as long as this family business can be successful, they can agree to any conditions.
Old man Yan saw that the conditions of the Ma family were okay, and his heart was more sincere, and he was more worried that Yan Renmei would continue to read the book and make a move like escaping from marriage, so he agreed to let Yan Renmei drop out of school and stay at home to get married.
Of course, Yan Renmei refused to give in, and in a fit of anger, she went on a hunger strike to resist, but she survived lung disease, and was taken to Hangzhou by her grandfather for more than a year to recuperate, and her figure gradually improved.
In 1930, Yan Renmei and Ma Guanliang, the young master of the Ma family, got married, and the Ma family specially invited an English teacher for this daughter-in-law with new female thoughts, so that Yan Renmei could study at home, and at the same time specially bought the most novel and fashionable Buick convertible car for the young couple to travel and play, at that time, she met Miss Zhao Si and became a good best friend.
A year later, Yan Renmei became pregnant, and the young master of the Ma family slowly lost himself in the flowers and wine of the ten-mile foreign field, and the news of the derailment reached Yan Renmei's ears from time to time, and the couple began to have conflicts, coupled with the intervention of the Ma family in the old-style family, Yan Renmei couldn't bear it and resolutely filed for divorce.
At that time, the Yan family also had a good relationship with the Sheng family (Sheng Xuanhuai's family), the Song family (Song Jiashu's family), and the Kong family (Kong Xiangxi's family), Yan Renmei and Kong Lingyi, the eldest lady of the Kong family, were only one year older, the two talked about everything, and the relationship was very good.
With the support of Miss Kong, Yan Renmei resolutely left the Ma family and moved to live in the house at No. 15 Xinkang Garden, Sheng Guan Yijia, Yan Renmei's godmother, and lived a free and easy life.
At that time, on the eve of the outbreak of the Pacific War, the power of the Japanese in the concession was expanding day by day, and a Japanese ** named Yamamoto saw the No. 15 house in Xinkang Garden and wanted to occupy it, and accidentally found that the hostess Yan Renmei was born beautiful and had an extraordinary temperament.
Yan Renmei was disgusted with the bad behavior of the Japanese in China, and she refused to obey Yamamoto's stubborn fighting, so she went back to her parents' house, her uncle's house, and her aunt's house to hide everywhere, but Yamamoto still stubbornly stalked.
When the Yan family saw that it was not a matter to hide like this, they thought that the only way was to let Yan Renmei get married quickly. Soon, the boss of Dazhong Match Factory, Li Zumin of the Li family in Ningbo Xiaogang, entered the sight of the Yan family. This Li family has also been doing business in Shanghai for generations, and it is also a wealthy family, and Li Zumin graduated from Guanghua University with a degree in economics.
In this way, the two families met and talked, and they were very satisfied, and the marriage was completed three months later. Yan Renmei and Li Zumin's wedding was also held very specially, on the wedding day, the best man and bridesmaids were not invited, but more than a dozen tall bodyguards were invited, of course, this formation was also to prevent the Japanese from coming to make trouble.
After marriage, the Japanese really stopped harassing them, and the two had a harmonious relationship after marriage, until Li Zumin died of illness in the 20th century.
