When it comes to celebrities in the Republic of China, everyone knows a lot, such as Lu Xiaoman, Tang Ying, Yan Youyun and others. The protagonist of our article today is not one of the three, but also related to Yan Youyun, her niece, Yan, a famous celebrity in the Republic of China.
Yan Xinhou, Yan's great-grandfather, was Li Hongzhang's aide, and participated in the establishment of the first bank in China, as well as the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce and many government and private enterprises. Yan's father, Yan Zhiduo, is the eldest grandson of Yan's parents and married the daughter of Liu Tiqing, a wealthy real estate businessman in Shanghai. It can be described as a marriage between giants. Yan has a famous aunt named Yan Youyun, who is the wife of Gu Weijun, the first diplomat of the Republic of China. This family background is very luxurious, but Yan was born with difficulty. My mother had a high fever when she was 8 months pregnant, which eventually led to premature delivery. She stayed up for three days and nights before giving birth to her.
Yan was born in such a big family. Naturally, she lives smartly, elegantly and without pressure. Because of frequent contacts between extended families, Yan was attracted by Suzhou Majia's playboy 15 years old. Soon, Yan married him. After marriage, Yan gave birth to a child. It's a pity that the horse's constantly chauffeured didn't take marriage seriously at all, and he was still outside wetting the grass. Yan couldn't stand it, so they filed for divorce.
Usually if this happens today, the court will order the man to compensate the woman. If the woman files for divorce, the court will generally support it. But at that time, the law was not perfect, and the Ma family was powerful and determined not to divorce, which made Yan very upset. Just when Yan needed help, Sheng Jingyi of the Song family, the Kong family and the Sheng family all stood up. They not only helped her make suggestions, but also helped her get divorced and regain her freedom, and even helped her conceive her future life. After Yan divorced, she also gave her garden house at Xinkang Garden 15.
On the eve of the Pacific War, Yan's godmother entrusted the garden house to Yan before leaving Shanghai. Furniture and daily necessities are readily available, and proper preparations are made. She asked Yan to move in. Yan likes the house very much, so she asks someone to help clean up the garden and paint the house. She plans to move in as soon as the house is finished.
Unexpected things happened, because the Japanese power in the concession was expanding day by day. They went to this rich area unscrupulously and looked around under the banner of "renting a house", which was actually a blatant "robbing a house". Unfortunately, a Japanese took a fancy to Yan's house. No, he is interested in Yan's beauty rather than her beautiful house.
A Japanese named Yamamoto fell in love with her house and her people. Yamamoto first told her that she wanted to rent the house. Every day, Yan is too scared to go to Xinkang Garden again, but Yamamoto still refuses to give up. In order not to cause trouble to relatives and friends, Yan stays at home all day. There is no escape, and the only way is to get married quickly!
Yan Jia soon took a fancy to Li Zumin of Ningbo Xiaogang. Li met and talked, and both sides were satisfied. In order to prevent accidents, the wedding will be held in three months. On the wedding day, fearing that the Japanese would make trouble, Li Zumin hired ten bodyguards, crowding round, which was also imposing.
Although the wedding is hasty, love is perfect. In the next few decades, the two held hands and grew old together. In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Yan took the lead in donating money and mobilized major businesses to donate money and materials. Because of her excellent work, she was elected as the first people's representative in Xuhui District of Shanghai. At the end of the 20th century, she took her second son and her family and lived a leisurely life in seclusion in Shenzhen.
