Du Yuesheng's death was a huge blow to Meng Xiaodong, who realized that the person who really loved her was Du Yuesheng and not Mei Lanfang. There were only two men in her life, but there was a world of difference between the two. Her marriage to Mei Lanfang made her miserable, and although her marriage with Du Yuesheng was opposed, it gave her happiness.
Looking back at Meng Xiaodong's marriage to Mei Lanfang, she became Mei Lanfang's top actor at the age of 17, and quickly attracted the attention of a large number of fans, including Du Yuesheng, who had become the boss of the Shanghai gang at that time. However, she only focused her attention on the personable and handsome Mei Lanfang. When performing in Beiping, Meng Xiaodong and Mei Lanfang began to star together, and emotions also grew between the two. Therefore, Meng Xiaodong's liking of Mei Lanfang is not unrequited love.
At the instigation of a friend, Mei Lanfang proposed to Meng Xiaodong. At that time, Mei Lanfang already had a wife Fu Zhifang, and Fu Zhifang was very strong. Worried that the two would not be compatible, Mei Lanfang proposed a "compromise" solution, that is, secretly marry Meng Xiaodong without disclosing any information. Although Meng Xiaodong's arrogant personality was carried away in love, she did not care about becoming a wife who had no reputation, and also agreed to Mei Lanfang's marriage proposal. In addition to agreeing to the marriage, Meng Xiaodong also gave up his thriving career and concentrated on being Mei Lanfang's captive "canary".
However, it turned out that she had mispaid her feelings. After Fu Zhifang discovered the relationship between the two, she forcibly separated them. When Mei Lanfang's mother died, Meng Xiaodong wanted to go to mourn, but was rejected by Mei Lanfang. At this time, she finally saw Mei Lanfang's true face: he only cared about his reputation and did not care about her at all. Meng Xiaodong is tired, and she hopes to end this marriage and relationship, but it is not easy. Until Du Yuesheng came forward and helped her put everything in order.
When Meng Xiaodong proposed to Mei Lanfang to break up, he did not agree and became entangled, making everyone know. In order to solve this problem, Meng Xiaodong hired a lawyer to go to Shanghai and visit his friend Yao Yulan at the same time. Yao Yulan's husband is Du Yuesheng. Yao Yulan was very angry when she heard what happened to Meng Xiaodong and said that she would help her solve the problem, and Meng Xiaodong also thanked her. Du Yuesheng did not refuse to help, and soon called Mei Lanfang and asked to agree to divorce Meng Xiaodong and pay corresponding compensation. As a very famous and intimidating "rogue" at that time, Du Yuesheng's work style was very different from Mei Lanfang as a gentleman. As a gentleman, Mei Lanfang did not dare to provoke this rogue, and quickly agreed to all the requirements.
This result made Meng Xiaodong finally regain his smile. Meng Xiaodong's happiness also made Du Yuesheng happy. After this incident, Meng Xiaodong began to shift his attention to Du Yuesheng. She learned that it turned out that Du Yuesheng had been paying attention to her in her heart, but out of respect, he did not approach her or tarnish her innocence. For this result, Meng Xiaodong felt very moved, so he no longer cared about the judgment of others and lived with Du Yuesheng. The two lived together for more than a decade and didn't really become husband and wife until 1950.
On August 16, 1951, before Du Yuesheng died, he had arranged everything for Meng Xiaodong, and left "You have to live well!" Last words. He took out 20,000 out of 200,000 assets and gave it to Meng Xiaodong. This was a huge blow to Meng Xiaodong, but she also realized that Du Yuesheng had always loved and cared for. When recalling this story, it is hard to believe that a gangster has such a tender side.
Finally, one should be aware of the fact that the human heart is full of complexity. In that era when the youth gang was prevalent, Du Yuesheng climbed from the bottom and eventually became one of the bosses of the Shanghai youth gang. However, a non-gentleman who is feared by people also has a gentleman's side. He loved Meng Xiaodong deeply, but did not bother her, but silently paid attention to her. This story teaches us that no matter what a person seems, it is possible to hide unknown tenderness and sincerity.
Du Yuesheng is a very contradictory figure, he is not only a gang boss, but also a very careful and caring person. Although he has done many bad things, his life has also changed after he fell in love with Meng Xiaodong.
Meng Xiaodong's life was once dark, she loved Mei Lanfang, but Mei Lanfang ignored her and even turned her away. Meng Xiaodong was once extremely heartbroken and wanted to end the marriage, but Du Yuesheng's appearance rekindled her hope.
Du Yuesheng and Mei Lanfang started a tug-of-war, and in the end, Du Yuesheng won, and Mei Lanfang had to agree to divorce and compensate Meng Xiaodong. Meng Xiaodong saw this result, she finally felt that she had dignity, and she began to pay attention to Du Yuesheng and understand his past and heart.
Du Yuesheng told Meng Xiaodong that he had noticed her as early as when she was a young actor. In order to respect her, he did not confess to her, but only paid attention silently. When Du Yuesheng and Meng Xiaodong were together, he gave her all his life's wealth and feelings. Although he is not perfect, he truly loves her, which is what Meng Xiaodong has always wanted.
Du Yuesheng's death made Meng Xiaodong heartbroken, and she felt extremely sad about his departure. However, Du Yuesheng's inheritance and advice left to her are a precious treasure. The 20,000 yuan of assets he left behind was a huge fortune for that era, enough for Meng Xiaodong to live a stable life. Du Yuesheng's final advice: "You have to live well!" Let Meng Xiaodong understand a truth, that is, to cherish the people in front of him and live well.
In Meng Xiaodong's life, Du Yuesheng was the one she truly loved her and cared for her. The marriage with Mei Lanfang made her look back, and although her marriage with Du Yuesheng suffered a lot of opposition, it brought her happiness. There were only these two men in her life, and she finally understood that Du Yuesheng was the one she really loved.
In the story of Du Yuesheng and Meng Xiaodong, we see the complexity and sincerity of love. Du Yuesheng, a seemingly rough gangster boss, has a soft heart. He loved Meng Xiaodong and silently paid attention to and cared for her throughout his life, never forgetting to tell her to live well until he died.
This story has given us a lot to think about, love is not simple, but to truly love someone, you should tolerate and care for them, not just just talk about it. Everyone has their own mistakes and pasts, but as long as true love is present, we can all feel happy. May everyone be like Meng Xiaodong, cherish the people in front of them and live a happy life.
