Who is the founder of Shanghai’s five-star hotel?

Shanghai Jinjiang Hotel has long been famous. As a well-known five-star hotel, it has received more than 500 heads of state and government. Zhang Ailing loves to conceive and create here. It has become one of the symbols of Shanghai. The founder, Dong Zhujun, has also begun to be known to everyone. Her life is legendary, and she has lived out the ideals of many women.

Dong Zhujun was born in a poor family, and his father was a rickshaw driver. Mr. Lao She's "Camel Xiangzi" describes for us the bitter life of the coachman in that era. The warlords are fighting and the country is in turmoil. The family lives a life of hunger and hunger. Forced to make a living, she became a prostitute in a brothel. Fate could not stop her, and here she met Xia Zhishi, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army in Sichuan. After redeeming herself, she married him.

The good times did not last long. After marriage, Xia Zhishi was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic and his career was not smooth, and he began to engage in frequent and serious domestic violence. Dong Zhujun gave birth to four daughters in a row, and her husband's family began to treat her coldly. If you can't survive, get a divorce! She started a wandering life alone with her four daughters, and once had the idea of ??committing suicide. After enduring hardship at a young age, she finally managed to survive in 1935 and founded Jin Jiang Restaurant, whose signature dish was crispy duck. Chaplin came to China specifically to eat this dish. The food in the small shop is delicious and the business is very good. Du Yuesheng, the boss of Shanghai Beach, has to wait in line to eat here.

Du Yuesheng also had a bad temper. Once he was too anxious to wait, so he said to Dong Zhujun: I will give you whatever you need in terms of money and house. Expand the store as soon as possible! Then the store began to expand. Later, because of Boss Du's face, the Shanghai French Concession issued her a business license for the first time. The reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and it is no longer limited to Shanghai Beach. So much so that no one with dignity at that time didn't know about it. In addition to Zhang Ailing's love for creating here, Jin Jiang Restaurant provided Guo Moruo's daily meals during his most difficult days in Shanghai. Guo Moruo wrote many poems to Dong Zhujun to express his gratitude.

As a representative of strong women, Dong Zhujun is extremely patriotic. After the liberation of Shanghai, I knew that the country was in trouble. Dong Zhujun dedicated all the money he earned in more than ten years to the country, including his big house. Dong Zhujun, who has had a hard time eating since he was a child, lives in an ordinary small house. She only left the words Guo Moruo gave her. A woman with great national righteousness, she devoted everything she had to the country. Jin Jiang Hotel could not be what it is today without her hard work. She deserves more flowers and applause.
