Song of everlasting regret: a 40-year love history of a Shanghai beauty and four men

Shanghai women in the 1940s were mysterious and romantic. Song of Eternal Sorrow tells the 40-year love story of a beautiful woman in Shanghai from youth to dusk, which is exquisite, gorgeous, sad and moving, and interweaves the vicissitudes of Shanghai, a metropolis that has gone through half a century.

Ideal germination to disillusionment; The restlessness and resentment of youth; The pursuit and success or failure of love can be called "modern Shanghai epic".

1.

Her name is Wang Qiyao, and she is beautiful and smart. An accidental experience of going to the set opened a turning point in her life.

Although the 1 audition failed, her exquisite appearance left an impression on the director, so she was invited to take pictures later. Under the lens of considerate photographer Mr. Cheng, her photo was selected into Shanghai Life Magazine and became a "star" familiar to teachers and students in girls' schools.

A little popular, 1946 is just catching up with the Miss Shanghai campaign. At Mr. Cheng's suggestion, she reluctantly accepted and successfully entered the semi-finals.

Without default or foil, she became the third runner-up in a daze and put on the title of "Miss Shanghai".

At this time, she is young and beautiful, and with the halo on her head, her attraction to the opposite sex is self-evident. At this time, two men came into her sight: one was Mr. Cheng, a young photographer with delicate mind and elegant manners, and the other was director Li, a young official in Shanghai.

In the choice between fish and bear's paw, she chose director Li-as a mature man, she made a decisive decision to pursue a woman. With him, just a simple girl, listen to orders.

In this colorful world, director Li Can showed her a bigger world, and her only bargaining chip was herself. So she carefully walked into Alice's apartment, which is located diagonally opposite the Paramount Gate, and it is a good place to be quiet while moving.

It's secluded and secluded, isolated from all foreign objects, and only opens the eyes for Director Li. Wang Qiyao just needs to devote all his energy to him. They are not wives and concubines, but their friendship is deeper and stronger in getting together less and leaving more.

Wang Qiyao felt at ease: I want money on a man's arm, and I want a woman's heart, so that I can be practical.

She wanted to do this all her life, but unfortunately the Huaihai Campaign 1948 started and Director Li was assassinated. She can't do this canary, so she can only escape from Shanghai, an eventful place.

1948, Wang Qiyao returned to his hometown of Wuqiao. The secluded and backward environment makes her feel out of place here, and she doesn't want to be old and yellow here.

Grandma's words didn't affect her for a long time. Shanghai is an ancient dream and a place she has always missed. After Ah Er, a native of Wuqiao, also left Shanghai, she had the courage to return, left Wuqiao and got on the train to Shanghai.

After returning to Shanghai a few years later, things have changed. Wang Qiyao lived in No.39 Ping 'anli, returned to a nice house and started her career as a nurse, giving injections to nearby residents.

She is very satisfied with her ordinary life in Shanghai. Occasionally, she watches a few late movies, or a new person gives an injection at night, so as to pass away loneliness in small talk and understand what's going on in the world.

In this alley, she met Jenny Yan, who has a powerful husband, a rich and happy family, and is about the same age.

Yan Jing saw that she was the same kind of person, who had been in the bustling fields. It is rare to have an equal and insightful confidant.

Sooner or later, destiny takes a hand's person will appear.

Yan Xiaoer has a rash and asks Wang Qiyao to take care of him. When the child is ill, relatives and friends come to greet him. Wang Qiyao met Mao Mao's uncle Kang Mingxun.

This is a handsome guy with charming appearance and exquisite appearance.

Although Wang Qiyao has passed his prime, he still feels heartbroken. What's more, the loneliness of the years, the thoughtfulness dripping in my arms.

From then on, Kang Mingxun often came to play cards and have afternoon tea with them, but with a straight face and full of considerate care, he finally melted Wang Qiyao's hard shell.

Two people probed each other's minds, but they didn't pierce enough paper.

But Wang Qiyao was moved and knew that Kang Mingxun of Youhua would not marry herself, but at this time she still had a heart longing for love.

With Kang Mingxun, she can go back to the past time, lie lazily on the sofa and share a small bed, day and night, as long as someone is with her and she is happy.

Later, she was pregnant with the only child in her life. After many twists and turns, she decided to keep the meat. She doesn't regret the inevitable breakup with Cummins.

As her belly grew bigger and bigger, she had to go in and out of thrift stores and keep eating and drinking. Just then, she met her old lover, Mr. Cheng.

This Mr. Cheng is not only an important person in her life, but also a bad lover.

Mr. Cheng met the goddess who missed 12, but his feelings were as strong as before.

Knowing that she was in trouble, she gave her all her salary. They cooked together, looked forward to it every day, kept the meal warm, and a woman and an unborn child lived around his bachelor here.

He longed for Wang Qiyao's approval and said, "Come with me tonight", and he also knew that Wang Qiyao was waiting for him.

But there is always a grievance in his heart that can't be turned away, and he can't make the final concession. So I expressed my mind with some heartfelt words. "I ran away at the last minute, saying that I was a child's temper or joking. I really don't have the strength to follow in your footsteps. Let's be friends for life! " .

Although Wang Qiyao knew his feelings well, he was ashamed of being riddled with holes in his body. He could only put on a friendly label: I will never forget your kindness.

Time passed silently. With the growth of her daughter Vivian, Wang Qiyao has become a sunset beauty.

But she never lost a woman's pursuit of beauty. She is jealous of her daughter's youth, and she is more beautiful than her daughter, regardless of seniority.

She also has her own independent living space. She knows how to dress, her posture is still gentle, and her dance steps are still light.

At a party, she met her daughter's classmate, old Clara.

He is a different young man, and the most desirable time is Shanghai in the 1940s, which is moderns in Wang Qiyao.

Because of this novelty and yearning, after they met, he begged Wang Qiyao to tell the story of the prosperity of old Shanghai and let him return to the old society.

Wang Qiyao is a fairy who has practiced for thousands of years, and it is inevitable that he will fall in love. Although he knew that old Clara's relationship would not last long, he was addicted.

They are like mother and son, but how can there be a pair of unrelated mother and son who sometimes flirt?

Old Clara pretends to be deaf and dumb. She just wants to spend her free time here and doesn't even want to delve into what she is obsessed with.

In the face of his vague words, Wang Qiyao said to you with tears: You gave birth to me, and I am old. Let's settle down.

As the active party, Old Kela enjoys it when he comes, but who can stand his constant pestering and beating-always coquetry and hugging his legs and waist?

Wang Qiyao is like a box carved with wood, emitting a strong fragrance. With her, old Clara can be an audience and enjoy the play forty years ago.

But a woman is emotional after all. Even though she is a dying beauty who has experienced love, Wang Qiyao always confuses herself.

Emotional women become stupid and have no sense of proportion.

When I found out that my daughter's best friend and old Clara were about to meet in the restaurant, I was utterly confused and heartbroken.

Goodbye, old Clara, unexpectedly give him all his belongings and whisper tearfully: I have put all my money in your hands, and it won't be long to stay with me for a few more years. I haven't been here for a long time, and there is nothing, but you all entered my heart and pulled it out at once, and my body was empty. Son, don't go.

Once people are humble to the dust, they don't feel cute, but they feel terrible and disgusting-old Clara has escaped.

Old Clara's alienation is like a heavy hammer to her. She fell into a state of self-abandonment, and was killed by mistake a few days later, which also completed her passionate but ultimately disheartened life.

Wang Qiyao has experienced four relationships, all of which are typical:

Director Li belongs to a powerful and attractive man, who brings not only the gold bars in the affairs box, but also strong shoulders, which is the dream of girls. After seeing the world and living a luxurious life, she quickly grew into a charming and intelligent woman.

Kang Mingxun appeared at the right time, when Wang Qiyao wanted love. Although his love won't give her a home, Wang Qiyao has to take the initiative. In her mind, after all, the days of two people can pass quickly.

Women always have a desperate love, regardless of the consequences, regardless of gains and losses.

Mr. Cheng, the lover of karma, appeared at the wrong time, and no matter how considerate he was, it was futile. Wang Qiyao has just finished his love affair and has not recovered, let alone got pregnant. How can he have the heart to love, guess and understand him?

This marriage is a fatal regret for both of them.

Old Kela appeared in Wang Qiyao's later years, and he brought a kind of vitality, which was similar to a dead lamp. This word alone knows that burning when it should not be burned can only be quickly destroyed.

Wang Qiyao is a clever woman. She loves whenever she wants, and she is flexible. But when the water is full, it will overflow. It is good that the pendulum of life stops in this way.
