Yi Zhongxiu's "heirloom" prototype
Yi Zhongxiu's historical prototype is probably Wanying Guo, Miss Guo Jiasi of Yong 'an Department Store. In Family Story, Yi Xinghua and his brother Yi Shuye jointly manage the related matters of Xinghua Department Store. Its historical prototype Yong 'an Department Store was founded by and co-founded and managed by the Guo family. In reality, there are many more children in Guo Biao than Yi Xinghua. He had two wives, five sons and six daughters in his life. In fact, Wanying Guo, the most talked about Miss Si, is very much like Yi Zhongxiu, Miss Yi Jiasan in "Family heirloom", judging from her life experience when she was young.
Miss Yi Jiasan and Miss Guo Jiasi not only graduated from the famous "Chinese and Western Girls' Middle School", but also have a similar hobby-fashion design. In "Family Inheritance", Yi Zhongxiu showed his design talent and love for fashion design more than once. In reality, Wanying Guo also opened the first modern women's fashion design salon in Shanghai International Hotel.
On the 10th anniversary of Xinghua Department Store and the birthday of its founder Yi Xinghua, Yi Zhongxiu presented a gift as a performance. When the lights dimmed, Zhong Xiu took the violin, accompanied by Jie Zhong, and slowly walked onto the stage from behind the scenes. Soon, Mr. Shang, a modern woman, appeared on the stage. Yi Xinghua was overjoyed. Zhong Ling explained that Mr. Shang combined western dance with Peking Opera to produce a new drama with exotic flavor, which was popular all over the country once it was released, but his father was already ill in bed.
Yi Zhongyu's gift is a fashion show. Yu Zhong couldn't arrive, but her present has arrived. At this time, the fashion show on the stage began. Zhong Ling explained that this is the dress that Yu Zhong invited the best designer at present and spent a month making. She has made an appointment to declare an advertisement. Tomorrow's headline is Xinghua's fashion show. She believes that the fabric in Xinghua warehouse will be sold out as soon as the performance is over. From this point of view, Yi Zhongyu actually has the shadow of Wanying Guo. Moreover, Yi Zhongyu had studied abroad before, which is very similar to Wanying Guo.
Wanying Guo spent a happy and warm childhood in Australia when he was a child. She returned to China with her family. Father was invited by Sun Yat-sen to go home to develop the capital economy and prosper the market. Wanying Guo saw snow for the first time in Shanghai and many China people with the same skin, but he was also puzzled by his language barrier. To this end, she had to be arranged by her father in a Guangdong girls' school first, and then re-entered the aristocratic school where the Song sisters attended.
At last, I don't have to worry about the difficulty of Chinese, but her English foundation is particularly favored. Father's department store is well run, and her study life is also rich and colorful. In this American school which combines Chinese and Western culture, Wanying Guo not only studied music and science, but also read many English books and newspapers in the library, cultivated her lifelong interest in sports, and also learned how to become a famous hostess.
Wanying Guo's naive personality and hobbies are similar to Yi Zhongxiu's. Yi Zhongxiu is a Yi girl, a well-known outstanding celebrity in Shanghai, and a naive and romantic princess. She is proficient in English, French and German, riding and dancing, playing the piano or driving, and is the most maverick golden flower who disdains men's pursuit.
