Sometimes it is a simple truth, but people often trap themselves in a corner, don't look at a new life, and indulge in the past. In this way, Puyi trapped himself in the first half of his life. Not only he, but also many people who made the transition from the feudal society to the new society of the Republic of China could not get rid of the old ideas, still clinging to their past roles, and could not get rid of feudal oppression all their lives.

But no matter how the thought develops, the past is the past after all, and people always have to live in the present and think about the future. Times have changed, and things have changed. Those nobles who lived in Beijing in the early years of the Republic of China have lost their original identities and tried to integrate into the new society. They can't rely on the palace salary as before. Even if you used to be royalty, now you have to find a way to make a living by yourself. This is the case with Puyi's sister. She chose to stand and sell antiques for a living. Anyone can't help sighing.

The first half of Puyi's sister's life.

The sister mentioned in this article is Lilyspan, Puyi's third sister. She and Puyi are brothers and sisters of a female compatriot and often play together, so Puyi likes her very much. Her nickname "Binghao" was given to her by Puyi herself. When she was in the Forbidden City, her popularity was very good, and the old ladies in the palace were obedient to her because of Puyi. She is a carefree three-dimensional girl in the Forbidden City.

Lilyspan is beautiful and has a strong personality, and will not be carried away by others' love. Even if there were maids in the palace who didn't like her, or the old mammy bullied her, she didn't complain to Puyi. She predicted that the late Qing Dynasty was much earlier than Puyi, so when she and Puyi were driven out of the Forbidden City in 1924, she was not so upset and at a loss. She was eleven years old that year.

But after all, she is a little girl and can't live independently. She can only follow her brother Puyi and move from Beijing to Tianjin. She seems to live a rich second generation life in Tianjin, singing and dancing with her sister-in-law, learning tennis from her brother Puyi and learning Japanese from them. She has no idea of all the plots I want to do with Puyi's brother in the future. In such an environment, Yingying gradually grew up and became a beautiful and moving girl.

Little did she know that her brother Puyi was still dreaming of restoration and planned to betroth her to Wanrong's younger brother. 1932, the Japanese escorted Puyi to the northeast to establish the puppet Manchukuo. This year, Puyi betrothed her to Wanrong's younger brother, Lin Run, and held a formal and grand wedding in Changchun.

Ying Ying did not expect that they would move to other places less than a month after their marriage-they were sent to Japan by Puyi to learn and absorb advanced military technology and theory. However, Britain is extremely disgusted with Japanese life. She can't stand being watched all the time and being treated as an alien.

Puyi's sister set up a stall.

1933, Lilyspan returned to China for the first time. As a wife and mother, she stayed at home and waited for her husband's return. My husband didn't come back until 1938. He trained military talents in Changchun Higher Military College and served as an elite instructor of the Puppet Manchukuo. Huaying knows that Puyi and Lin Run can't go far, but as a woman, how can she listen to her opinion?

1945, Puyi abandoned a group of people and fled to Shenyang with Lin Run. Yingying lost contact with her husband, and a person with three children lived on the streets of Northeast China. Desperate, she had to work for others to support three children. This life experience has also made her grow a lot and tasted the suffering of the world. Finally, in 1949, she returned to Beijing and lived in her father's official residence. Her father died of illness in 195 1, and she also got an inheritance and several houses. She rented out these houses to earn rent and tried to earn some money to support herself and her three children.

The rent is really too little. Yingying is addicted to cigarettes, so she has to think of some proper ways to make money quickly. At that time, princes and nobles took out their antiques and valuables to make a living, and Britain followed suit. She sold many antiques collected at home and set up a stall at the intersection. She is Pu Yi's sister, and many people know her. Her booth here was soon known to many people, and she even met a noble person.

I met Ma Weidou in my later years and got a high evaluation.

Ying Ying's booth is different. She never bargains. She sat there, waiting for the "destiny" to value her things and ask her. She will also sit quietly and smoke. Because she doesn't really understand these antique objects, everything she does is losing money. To her, these antiques are no more valuable than a pack of cigarettes.

At that time, the famous collector Ma Weidou was collecting precious antiques in Beijing. I heard that Puyi's sister Huaying set up a stall there to sell antiques, so I'm going to have a look. It took a long time to find the right booth, only to find her sitting in front of the booth smoking, staring at a seven-inch TV not far away, thoughtfully.

So Ma Weidou stepped forward to meet her, intended to talk with Huaying, and showed her the best official kiln in his collection. Unexpectedly, Huaying just exchanged a few commonplaces with Ma Weidou. She didn't even look at the best official kiln in his hand. When he later recalled this incident, he sincerely admired Ying as a strange girl.

In fact, Huaying originally came out of the palace and experienced so many twists and turns. Compared with Puyi, who can't take care of herself in middle age, she is much stronger than the traditional royalty. Even the leaders later commented that she was an ambitious person who could walk into the people. For Ma Weidou to set up a stall in front of her and give her a taste of the best official kiln, she didn't even look at it, just smiled.

Aisingiorro Huaying was later renamed Jin Ruixiu (Ruixiu was written by her father himself) and was also allowed to visit Puyi in prison. After Pu Yi was released from prison, she took care of each other and spent her old age alone.

For the husband who had already abandoned himself, they reunited in Beijing after decades of separation. The two men looked at each other at a distance. Unexpectedly, Ying Ying looked at Lin Run without resentment, but relieved. In the end, she became the administrator of her own community. In the due diligence of the people, she returned the people's ointment she used before 1 1 and died peacefully. Now that these people are basically dead, these rights and wrongs are finally no longer entangled with them. Maybe it's also a relief for them.
