The Xinhai Revolution overthrew the feudal monarchy, and gradually awakened the consciousness of women, making women realize that they are their masters.
As the concubine of the last emperor Puyi, Wenxiu bravely filed for divorce from Puyi, and with her own efforts, ushered in a new life. So why did Wenxiu divorce Pu Yi, and what was her life like after the divorce?
Wenxiu was born in a famous aristocracy, and because of her family background, Wenxiu was sent to the palace when she was 13 years old and became Puyi's concubine.
At the age of flowers, he lost his freedom and could only be locked up in the Forbidden City all day long, like a bird in a cage. What made Wen Xiu even more frustrated was that Pu Yi had lost the ability to be a man, and married life had become an unattainable dream.
After Pu Yi was expelled from the Forbidden City, Wen Xiu also followed him to Tianjin. But gradually, Wen Xiu felt that the distance between the two people was getting farther and farther away.
Especially in terms of ideology, Wenxiu has accepted the fact that the Qing Dynasty has fallen, but Pu Yi is still dreaming of restoration. In order to restore the rule of the Qing Dynasty, Pu Yi actually accepted the Japanese Zhao'an and established the puppet state of Manchukuo.
Wen Xiu felt sad and disappointed about Pu Yi's actions, but she didn't expect that the person next to her would choose to betray the country for the sake of imperial power.
Wen Xiu didn't persuade her, but Pu Yi was obsessed, so she gradually came up with the idea of divorcing him, and how difficult it should be to spend her life with such a person.
On August 23, 1931, Wenxiu resolutely filed for divorce from Pu Yi, which not only shocked Pu Yi, but also alarmed the whole society and became a role model for many women.
Wen Xiu knew that after she and Pu Yi divorced, the future road would not be easy, but she never regretted it, she wanted to take her fate firmly in her own hands.
After the divorce, Wen Xiu was looking for a job in an elementary school, and after learning her identity, Wen Xiu felt a lot of trouble and finally left school.
In order to make a living, Wenxiu has done a lot of work, including selling goods on the street, pasting paper, etc.
Later, when she was working in a newspaper, Wen Xiu was introduced by others, and she met a man named Liu Zhendong. The two hit it off at first sight, have a lot of common language, and the relationship between the two is also very good.
Although Liu Zhendong is the most ordinary farmer, he can bear hardships and stand hard work, and he is also very good to Wenxiu, and he has given Wenxiu unprecedented care and warmth.
In 1953, Wen Xiu, who had worked hard for half his life, had a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital, although the doctor tried his best to save him, but in the end he died regrettably.
Before his death, Wen Xiucai and Liu Zhendong confessed their true identities: "Actually, I am not an ordinary woman, I was the emperor's concubine." ”
After hearing this, Liu Zhendong was shocked, and in addition, he felt a little distressed, knowing that it was not easy for Wenxiu to get to where he was today, so he was doubly good to her.
It's a pity that Wenxiu was running out of time at that time, and Liu Zhendong was reluctant to accompany her on the last journey.
In his later years, when someone asked Liu Zhendong about his marriage, he was very proud and proud: "To be able to marry the emperor's woman, my life is worth it!" ”
Wenxiu, as Puyi's concubine, was unlucky, but she did not feel sorry for herself, but boldly became the first woman in the world to divorce the emperor and seized a happy life for herself.
