First, the winter emperor fell in love with Mei, and he was saddened by Meng Xiaodong, formerly known as Meng Ruolan. As the name suggests, Meng Xiaodong is an empty valley with a stubborn and dignified temperament. Xiaodong Meng's ancestral home is Hebei, and he was born into a family of Liyuan in Shanghai. Meng often performs in Shanghai World and other amusement parks. 19 12 In February, Meng Xiaodong, who was only12 years old, sang more than 40 plays in Shanghai, which caused a sensation in Shanghai. At that time, the press praised her as "Winter Emperor". It is not surprising that a woman sings old songs, but she sings so well that even Mr. Tan Fuying, one of the four big students, does not hesitate to praise her.

After Meng Xiaodong's contract in Shanghai expired, she went north to Beiping, getting closer and closer to Mei Lanfang, the love of her life. That year, when she was 18 years old, she met the handsome Mei Lanfang. One is an emperor who needs to be born, and the other is a king who plays a prince and a showgirl on the same stage. On the stage, Meng Xiaodong plays the charming emperor Zheng De and Mei Lanfang plays the charming Li Fengjie. Off stage, Meng Xiaodong is a charming girl and Mei Lanfang is a charming son. Enthusiasm began to grow quietly in their eyes.
1927, Dong Mei got married. At this time, Mei Lanfang already had two wives: the first wife, Wang Minghua, was recuperating in Tianjin; The second wife, Fu Zhifang, takes care of the family in Beijing. Meng Xiaodong didn't insist on marrying Mei Lanfang. Their marriage was supported by many people, including Mei's friend Qi Rushan and his economic background and bank president Feng Youwei.
After the marriage, Xiaodong Meng did not live in Meizhai, and they settled in Dongdan. Emperor Dong became a wife with peace of mind and seldom acted again. Married life is not amazing, but it is also quiet and peaceful. Unfortunately, marriage has its own jealousy.
A gunshot broke the peace of marriage. At that time, Li Zhigang was a college student in Beijing, and he fell in love with Meng Xiaodong. When she heard that she married another woman, she was furious and shot Mei Lanfang. As a result, it was Mei's friend Zhang Hanju who opened the door. He became a scapegoat for no reason. I was shot in my life, and Dong Mei's marriage was cracked.

/kloc-in the summer of 0/930, Aunt Mei Lanfang passed away. Mei family's funeral, supposedly, Mei Lanfang's concubine Meng Xiaodong, who is legally married, can also go to Mei Zhai to pay homage to the dead. But Fu Zhifang rejected Meng Xiaodong. At that time, only wearing mourning clothes was really accepted by her husband's family. Remember that cold "big house door"? After the death of the second grandma, the white family and the white family's cats and dogs can put on clothes, except. This is second grandma's last wish. She didn't accept Hong Jiu until her death.
Meng Xiaodong and Mei Lanfang were married for four years, but they were not accepted by the Mei family. What made Meng Xiaodong desperate was not Fu Zhifang's refusal, but Mei Lanfang's refusal to let her in. So, what is Mei Lanfang after four years? Madam, it seems not; Mistress, I don't think so
Meng Xiaodong felt dejected. Publish a notice in Ta Kung Pao:
I'm the one who took the blame? Restrain others from me? The world has its own public opinion and does not wait for winter's verbiage.
The winter emperor's stubbornness and pride penetrated the paper back.
1September, 933, Dong Mei divorced. I will never see Milan again for the rest of my life.

Meng Xiaodong is a stubborn person at heart. She walked out of the shadow of emotional injury and devoted herself to studying the performing arts in Yu Shuyan. I sent art to spread widely, but it was Meng Xiaodong who made it popular in Shanghai. At 1947 Du's birthday party, Emperor Dong surprised four people as soon as he opened his mouth. Even the famous actors who took part in the birthday performance held their breath and listened backstage.

Second, is Dong Sheng's past kindness or love? Time goes back to 1925. Meng Xiaodong was popular in Shanghai at that time. Du, who is in his thirties, still works under Huang, the boss of green gang, but his infatuation with Meng Xiaodong has reached the extreme. Du loves to listen to plays and is known as "the first mystery in the world".
Who is Du? Cough can alarm the green gang tycoon in Shanghai. There is no shortage of women in his life. Meng Xiaodong had four wives when he committed himself to him. But for Meng Xiaodong, he has great respect.
During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, after the fall of Shanghai, Mei Lanfang wore a beard and had a clear ambition in order to get rid of the entanglement of the Japanese and Puppet. But it is not easy to support a troupe, so Du asked his treasurer Huang Guodong to pay a high price for Mei Lanfang's calligraphy and painting. It was Du's generous help that helped him tide over the difficulties and saved the troupe. For this, Meng Xiaodong is grateful to Du.
Du and Meng Xiaodong.
1947, Du celebrated his 60th birthday and specially sent someone to Beijing to invite Dong Huang to give a concert in Shanghai, but Meng Xiaodong refused. At present, Du is recovering from illness at home, but when he saw Emperor Dong, he actually recovered. More than 20 years ago, the girl who was very popular in Shanghai is now a charming young woman. When Xiaodong Meng met Du, he bowed deeply and thanked him for his kindness in helping Milan. In this regard, Du is well aware.
During the period of 1948, it was during the war of liberation that the situation in Peiping and Tianjin was unstable. When Du learned of this situation, he specially sent a special plane to Beijing to meet Meng Xiaodong. Du Yuesheng greeted him at the airport, and the winter emperor entered Du Jiamen from then on. She and Du are husband and wife, but they have no birthright. She still calls her boss Meng when guests come to visit. Dong Mei once co-starred in Wu Jiapo when she was in love. Now I'm in Du's arms, playing Wujiapo for him. I only sing "Guide Disc", so I won't sing any more. Du knew that Dong Huang would never forget Mei Lang.

Marriage is just a piece of paper, but without it, everything is wrong, wrong. Emperor Dong, who is famous for his pear altar, can't avoid customs. Du's fourth wife and Meng Xiaodong are like sisters. When she married Du Yuesheng, she was reluctant. Now the winter emperor takes care of her husband, and naturally he is at leisure.
Meng Xiaodong said: "My girl is not like a girl now, and my girlfriend is not like a girlfriend." Yao Yulan told Du the thoughts of Emperor Dong. Du is from the heart. He loved the Winter Emperor since he was a child, and he never forgot the world. It's just that I'm too old to linger on my deathbed, and I'm not the tycoon who was all-powerful in Shanghai that year. He doesn't know whether the Winter Emperor is willing to commit himself to marriage.
1950, Dong He got married in Hong Kong. No guests were invited, but the family took a family photo together. From then on, guests came to the door and called her Mrs. Du. This year, Du was 63 years old and Dong was 42 years old. .

195 1 year, Du left a will, and the coffin was to be transported back to Dujia ancestral hall for burial. The legacy of $654.38 million was inherited by his fourth wife, Yao Yulan, and his fifth wife, Meng Xiaodong. However, his $654.38+million was kept by Song Zian, so Chiang Kai-shek ordered Taiwan Province Province that the coffin must be buried in Taiwan Province Province to get $654.38+million. Du felt very helpless. For $65,438+10,000, he had to be ordered by Jiang Gong to amend his will. On June 16, Du died.
Yao Yulan landed in Taiwan Province, while Meng Xiaodong stayed in Hongkong. The winter emperor is the winter emperor, and she wants to get rid of the birthright of Du concubines completely. She rented a house by herself, with simple furnishings and stills of Wu Jiapo hanging on the wall. She often looks at this stills and recalls her past with Milan. At this time, Mei Lanfang became the president of China Opera Research Institute and the vice chairman of China Federation of Literary and Art Circles. She is happy for him. 196 1 In August, Mei Lanfang died of illness in Beijing. When the bad news came, Dongdi threw himself on the old photo of Wujiapo and was heartbroken.
1966, Emperor Dong came to Tainan. Because she has long been out of the Du family's cage, she did not live with the Du family after coming to Taiwan, but lived a low-key life alone. Even the neighbors don't know that this "Meng Jia Niang" who gets up early every day is the famous winter emperor in the north and south.
Du, who gave her the birthright, left, as did Mei Lanfang, who loved and hated her all her life. In her later years, she was accompanied by the remaining singers left by her teacher Yu Shuyan. Winter Emperor is a direct biography of Yu Shuyan of Yu School. In the last few years of her life, she taught students to sing opera in Tainan. The students all know Meng's past, but Meng himself doesn't want to mention it again.
1977, Meng Xiaodong died in Tainan. Endless love and hate have turned into a wisp of smoke.
