Wandering in the hotel

On a winter night in 1927, Guangzhou was already freezing, but the luxurious Asian hotels were still warm as spring.

A gorgeous and beautiful woman, with a cigarette in one hand and a banknote in the other, was smoking and leaned out of the window to throw the money out. She tried to throw it, and the people downstairs tried to catch it. ......

After enjoying herself, she turned around and said to the man lying in bed in a daze, "It's freezing in the cold, you have money and no heart, and you don't give alms to the hungry and cold poor." Make an appointment with me for 3000 yuan, only with 1500. I don't want this 1500 yuan, so I'll give it to the poor to benefit you! "

Say that finish and roared off, leaving a face of meng forced man.

This is not a novel, nor is it the plot of a film and television drama. It really happened in the winter night in 1927 Guangzhou. The woman who threw money was Yu Meiyan, a famous Lang Ke at that time and the first of the "Four donkey kong" in Guangzhou.

Yu Meiyan

Born rich, pursuing novelty.

Yu Meiyan was born in a wealthy family in Taishan, Guangdong in 1900. He had a good life since childhood and received a good education. After graduating from high school, I taught myself Chinese studies and English.

At that time, few women were qualified for education, and even fewer were proficient in English. Moreover, Yu Meiyan read many foreign books when he was very young, and he was full of longing for western things, especially love.

Yu Meiyan scoffed at China's traditional parents' orders and matchmakers' words. She wrote in her diary that "I have been pursuing the freedom of love all my life" and that "the generation of lust is like the bursting of a silver pot. When it is combined with mutual affection, it is love". This story is nothing now, but it was shocking at that time. The parents were shocked to see their daughter, so they refused to let her see foreign things any more. Instead, they gave her the Four Books and Five Classics. However, the idea has been formed, how can it be easily changed?

Dressed in fashionable Yu Meiyan

Married into the Tan family, the first trial marriage.

Once, Yu Meiyan went to her grandmother's house, and it happened that her neighbor's son was there. They fell in love at first sight, so Yu Meiyan, a maverick and pursuing individuality, secretly married the boy and spent his life together. When Yu Meiyan's father knew about it, he flew into a rage and immediately asked someone to introduce this woman to get married.

Despite her reluctance, Yu Meiyan had to follow the tradition of getting married. 19 18, 18 years old married, and her husband is the son of Tan family in Kaiping, Guangdong. Tan Gongzi is outstanding in appearance and knowledgeable. He has been to the United States and other places, and his thoughts are also very advanced. Yu Meiyan gradually accepted Tan Gongzi.

Happy days are short. Shortly after the marriage with Tan Jia, Tan Jia fell into an economic crisis. Tan Gongzi had to leave his new wife and go to America to do business.

My marriage failed, and I went off the rails.

After Tan Gongzi left, he lived alone in an empty boudoir and had conflicts with Tan's in-laws and sister-in-law. In a rage, he "escaped" from Tan's home and fled to Guangzhou.

People are unlucky enough. Take a sip of cold water. Just the day before Yu Meiyan arrived in Guangzhou, Navy Chief Cheng Biguang was stabbed to death. Senior officials at this level were assassinated, and the military and police must strengthen the investigation of suspicious personnel. Yu Meiyan, dressed in fashionable clothes, was arrested as a suspect.

Yu Meiyan went to Guangzhou to pursue freedom, but he was arrested by the police as soon as he arrived in Guangzhou. Although she was released on bail soon, the Tan family broke off their engagement.

At that time, it was a shame that a woman was abandoned by her husband's family. Yu Meiyan's father couldn't hold it any longer, so he sent his daughter to a "workshop" to study. The "workshop" is equivalent to the current "juvenile detention center", which was a shelter for exiled prisoners at that time. This is to turn Yu Meiyan into a prisoner!

After coming out of the "workshop", Yu Meiyan not only failed to study and improve as his father hoped, but became bohemian. Instead of going home, she often goes to various high-end entertainment places and attends various cocktail parties. Before entering the "workshop", she just wore novelty clothes. After coming out of the "workshop", she didn't just dress novelty. She wears all kinds of gorgeous clothes and shuttles among all kinds of playboys. She dances with them, goes crazy with them, and then naturally uses their money.

Married again, or abandoned

Yu Meiyan frequented high-end places and interacted with rich children, and soon became a local man of the hour. The tabloids also dug up her affair. She doesn't care what others say. She has no family. She is alone, and she can do whatever she wants.

This year, she met a Hong Kong businessman named He, who was probably drunk. Asked by a businessman named He, she told her own experience. She talked about her father's fickle feelings, family abandonment, and the loss of her ex-husband ... The more she talked, the more sad she became. The businessman surnamed He agreed with her, so he proposed to her. At that time, the rich businessman was in his 40 s, had a family and a career, and was dependent on him. Yu Meiyan agreed to his proposal and became his second wife.

But it didn't take long for the businessman surnamed He to regret it. He found himself simply married to an ancestor who spent money. The money was just given in front and used up in the back. Unable to stand her extravagance and waste, the businessman surnamed He directly announced and dissolved the engagement in a high-profile way, on the grounds that she was "bohemian and luxurious".

Yu Meiyan wears avant-garde clothes.

unconventional and unrestrained

After being abandoned again, Yu Meiyan became more addicted to vocal music. She and three other deviant women in Guangzhou often go out to dance halls and attend wine fairs together. Because it was too ostentatious, Guangzhou people at that time gave their group a nickname-"Four donkey kong", and Yu Meiyan was the first of the four donkey kong.

Later, Yu Meiyan learned to ride a horse. She cut her hair short and wore red clothes, revealing her thighs. She galloped on horseback. The police stopped her, and she took out a large sum of money as a fine, and then continued riding with a smile. At that time, a tabloid reported that she was a "strange girl riding in the eastern suburbs".

The madness of Guangzhou couldn't satisfy her, so she crossed the ocean to Southeast Asia and even went to the United States on the other side of the world to play. She doesn't worry about money, there are many rich constantly chauffeured anyway. But she obviously belongs to the appearance association, and no matter how slutty she is, she only chooses to spend the night pleasing to the eye.

Shock the world, write with your body.

In San Francisco, Yu Meiyan met her ex-husband who was doing business here. Yu Meiyan, who has done a lot of ridiculous things, actually hopes that her ex-husband can get back together with her, but her ex-husband has also heard a lot about Yu Meiyan in recent years. How can she promise her?

After coming back from the United States, Yu Meiyan had a whim while indulging in pleasure. I have met so many men over the years, and I want to record something! So she started to keep a diary and soon wrote a book called Modern Love Letters, also called Romantic Love Letters. This book records her contacts with many rich people and businessmen in detail.

Final outcome

May be tired of playing, 27-year-old Yu Meiyan unexpectedly into an empty net. However, she was so romantic before, and she had a playboy to continue her career. The old nun in the temple felt that Yu Meiyan had defiled the Buddhist soil, so she was kicked out.

In April, Yu Meiyan went to Shanghai by boat from Hongkong. On the way, she cried and laughed. Suddenly she climbed out of the railing and jumped into the raging sea, and her life was always fixed at the age of 28.

It is worth mentioning that shortly after Yu Meiyan's death, another eccentric woman, Yang Naimei, the Shanghai film winner, adapted her life into a movie, and Yang Naimei directed and acted. The name of this film is Strange Girl.

Yang Naimei starred in the movie Strange Girl and told the story of Yu Meiyan.
