It must be said that Sai Jinhua's life is both legendary and tragic, and her tortuous life course can be described as a perfect interpretation of the sentence that life is not smooth sailing.
First of all, when she was only thirteen years old, she was sold as a prostitute by her big momma. Fortunately, she is still young, but she is only from Xi 'an, A Qing, drinking and smiling. And this companion brought her the first nobleman in her life and her first husband. Hong Jun and Hong Jun, the former top scholars and diplomats of the Qing Dynasty, took a fancy to this beautiful little woman at a glance, redeemed Sai Jinhua directly, and married and became the concubines of the Hong family. At this time, Sai Jinhua is the highest point of happiness in life, with money, status and husband!
But luck will come to an end. After Sai Jinhua accompanied Jun Hong on a trip to Europe, Jun Hong fell ill and died. However, Sai Jinhua was naturally driven out of Hong's house. His original wife has long wanted to clean up Sai Jinhua. Now that Jun Hong is gone, Sai Jinhua has been driven away aboveboard. What can she do? what can I do? Of course, I'm going back to my old job.
The journey of the champion's wife ends here. Sai Jinhua jumped from the prostitute on the flower boat to the wife of the champion and then fell back to the sparrow's nest, only a little taller than before. She bought two girls as prostitutes in Shanghai and changed her name to Cao Menglan. She used the name of the champion's wife and the minister's wife who were sent to Europe at that time to attract customers. The business was very prosperous and the passenger flow was full.
But this situation did not last long. Sai Jinhua is probably a woman with 50% good luck and 50% bad luck. Her business is doing well. Suddenly, a frequent visitor named Qian Runshen died suddenly in her bedroom. After that, she jumped into the Yellow River, which was difficult to clean. If she doesn't eat, she has to take this lawsuit. So in order to avoid the lawsuit, she went directly to Tianjin and changed her name to Sai Jinhua.
After the name change, Sai Jinhua's life began to hang in the air again, and the widow began to rise. At that time, Sai Jinhua met her second husband, Sun Zuotang. With Sun Zuotang's support, Sai Jinhua opened a brothel in Beijing, that is, Master Jinhua! At that time, this brothel was very famous, and the guests were all big names. I heard that Li Hongzhang has been there!
Even if the brothel business is good, Sai Jinhua is widely respected by the world for bravely standing up to defend the people when Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China. At that time, she happened to be an old acquaintance of the allied commander-in-chief, Wa Sid, and went to the door of a good man's house to beg for mercy and let people go, and things like that were solved. In addition, Sai Jinhua pleaded with Empress Dowager Cixi to get Wa to agree to make peace, which made people all over Beijing call her lord protector.
However, after enjoying the golden flower, there will be another disaster. Well-run brothels do not mean well-managed. There was a girl in her brothel at that time. She didn't want to engage in prostitution. Finally, she took it hard and committed suicide to show her complete innocence. So Sai Jinhua went to prison, and after she got out of prison, she had nothing, brothel money and her husband were gone, leaving her alone.
At this moment, Sai Jinhua is 28 years old. After wandering for so many years, she is tired and wants to settle down. So Sai Jinhua left Beijing and returned to Shanghai sadly. After wandering in Shanghai for another 9 years, Sai Jinhua really found the honest man she wanted-Cao, the inspector of Shanghai-Nanjing Railway Section, so the couple decided to get married.
However, less than a year after marriage, Cao suddenly died of illness. Sai Jinhua has become a widow and a lonely woman again, but if she doesn't cheer up, no one will support her. Although she has the title of Mr. Sai, the Minister of Peace, it is also a short-lived hot spot. After a few days, the people did not mention it, and the court did not care. Therefore, Sai Jinhua, who is close to 40 years old, has returned to her old job!
However, it is a big mistake to think that Sai Jinhua lives as a prostitute. Soon, Sai Jinhua found another male ticket, a thief. This man is Wei Wei, a former senator and director of Jiangxi Provincial Civil Affairs Department. After getting to know each other for a while, Weiss took Sai Jinhua to live in Beijing. 19 18, Sai Jinhua and Wei Siyuan officially got married in Shanghai.
But! ! ! After three years of marriage, Sai Jinhua became a widow again, and Weiss died of illness. Sai Jinhua once again returned to the brothel to receive guests. She didn't give up her job until Huang Huang lived with a nanny. Although she is lonely, these two people who have no financial resources have to rely on support to make ends meet. It is said that celebrities such as Zhang Xueliang, Xu Beihong, Qi Baishi and Li Kuchan have helped her.
Throughout Sai Jinhua's life, it is legendary, but it is also bleak. She is a woman who saves the country and a famous prostitute. She is the first lady and Foucault's daughter. It can be said that Sai Jinhua's life is also Foucault's life. What a sigh! Pity her brilliant life, and finally die lonely and miserable in Beijing at the age of 66.
