The story of Cai E and Fengxian Xiao

The mountains are green and the water is blue.

High mountain flowing water rhyme yiyi

A bosom friend is rare in life.

A forever bosom friend is the hardest to find.

The general drew his sword from the south.

I would like to be a long wind, flying around the battle flag.

-theme song of the movie "bosom friend"

In the capital city of 19 16, Cai E and Fengxian Xiao are definitely the protagonists. Cai E struggled with illness, died for his country, rose up in difficulties and won the victory forever, which naturally attracted the admiration and admiration of future generations. But Fengxian Xiao is just a fallen woman. However, due to the arrangement of fate, she turned decay into magic, making this story a rare swan song of mankind.

Their fate and fate, in the troubled times when China refugees are in danger, are particularly deep and far-reaching, which can satisfy everyone's fantasy of chivalrous and heroic beauty, so that there will still be endless repercussions after a hundred years. The melody of the film "bosom friend" is almost endless for three days, which makes the blending of love and martyrs' loyalty tear-jerking.

In the past, beautiful women have long since disappeared. According to Yi Zongkui's "New World Theory", the original name was Xian, and he joined the music department at the age of sixteen, which is "good work and good pay, handsome face and vortex on both cheeks". However, some data show that Fengxian Xiao, whose real name is Fengyun, was originally from Hubei. His father was in business, and his family was well-off, but his family was ruined by a villain. During the Guangxu period, the family went to Hunan, and Fengxian Xiao was sold as a handmaiden, then sold again and again, and finally became a prostitute in Shanghai. Because Yin Qing small classes in the south of Beijing are sought after, they are usually sent to the eight hutongs in Beijing. Some people say that she was born in an official family and her father was a military attache in the late Qing Dynasty. After leaving her job, she lived in poverty and sold her daughter to a brothel.

Opinions vary, but she is always a woman with an ill-fated life experience. In the book A Brief History of the Early Years of the Republic of China, there is such a description: "Fengxian Xiao ... doesn't look like a middle-level person, and his temperament is very aloof. His superb skill is proficient in calligraphy and loves to write lyrics, so as to produce a pair of discerning eyes and distinguish the talents of guests. People in Beijing still call her a chivalrous woman. " Because of her aloof and aloof personality, before she met Cai E, she had a small reputation of disdaining flattery.

At that time, Cai E was a general with military power. 19 1 1 When the Revolution of 1911 broke out, Cai E launched the Kunming Double Ninth Uprising and served as the temporary commander-in-chief of the rebel army. He was elected commander-in-chief of the Yunnan Army, 19 13, 10.

There is a story about Cai E and Yuan Shikai: It is said that as soon as Cai E arrived in Beijing, Yuan Shikai gave him a valuable coat, and enthusiastically told him that he would feel free to meet in the future and just wear casual clothes. When Cai E was summoned for the second time, Yuan Shikai summoned his generals. Naturally, everyone put on neat uniforms, and he also put on marshal's clothes, thinking about seeing through the embarrassment of Cai E's fidgeting in casual clothes. And Cai E is easily confused. He is still as many medals as uniforms, boots and gloves. After this round, Yuan Shikai also had an understanding of Cai E's character: such a person can only be used by himself and cannot be trusted; Only respect each other and don't engage in conspiracy; You can do things for a while, but you can't go the same way for a long time.

Speaking, Yuan Shikai and Cai E were not incompatible from the beginning. On the contrary, at first they appreciated each other and appreciated each other. During the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai abolished the imperial examination, started new studies, built railways and trained new troops, which really impressed Cai E, so he clearly expressed his support for Yuan Shikai. In a chaotic new country, Cai E believes that talents like Yuan Shikai can help the country. And Cai E's talent and spirit when he was in charge of Yunnan naturally made Yuan Shikai pay tribute. After Cai E was transferred to Beijing, Yuan Shikai named him "General Shiwei", making him the only non-Beiyang soldier in this institution, with a salary as high as 5,000 yuan (equivalent to 300,000 yuan now) and a great reputation. Yuan Shikai also asked his eldest son, Yuan Bai Cai E, to teach him military science. It is said that Yuan Shikai wanted Cai E to be the chief of staff, and later he was further promoted to the chief of the army. However, because this move touched the interests of Beiyang soldiers too much, he temporarily gave up.

Of course, Cai E is like a sword in a box, which always makes Yuan Shikai wary. Cai E thought deeply and knew Yuan Shikai's great wisdom. Cai E has never supported anyone. He has no party or faction all his life, his faith is firm and his personality is independent. Judging from the performance of his life, the supremacy of the country is his creed. However, in order to dispel Yuan Shikai's suspicion and hide others' eyes and ears, he took the initiative to sign the surrender form after the security meeting, and took the monarchy as a strategy to attack and paralyze his opponent.

Then, Cai E wandered around eight hutongs on business, deliberately showing himself as a lecherous, and released such a message with great fanfare: I'm here to have fun. According to Cai E's eldest son, Cai Duan, his biological mother, Mrs. Pan, told him that Cai E went to the theatre with his family. Before the opening ceremony, she pointed to a young woman in the box and said to Mrs. Pan, She is. As can be seen from this detail, the contact between Cai E and Fengxian Xiao has never been concealed by his family.

When Cai E came to Beijing, he lived in Huamian Hutong, not far from Shaanxi Lane where Fengxian Xiao lived. It is generally recognized by taxi drivers in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China to let go of their feelings and vent their depression on the romantic field. At this point, Fengxian Xiao lived in Yunjiban in Shaanxi. At night, moths smile and people sing loudly. Beijing brothels, such as "Yin Qing Small Class" and "Gathering Class", attract business here. Busy traffic, men and women are wearing brocade, soft and fragrant, which makes people dizzy and uneasy.

Dressed as a businessman, Cai E met a petite, beautiful and smiling Fengxian Xiao in the gathering class. In Fengxian Xiao's eyes, Cai E with knife-shaped eyebrows and rhinoplasty has the heroic attitude of a soldier, and his warm smile hides a new bearing of glaring at the world. In this historic event, two people fell in love at first sight, and they felt that there were no travelers on the ancient road, but they were the only one in the cold mountain.

Cai E is not without eyesight. He has seen a lot of makeup in the field of communication. Naturally, he knew that Fengxian Xiao was a wonderful flower in the world. Although there is no extraordinary and stunning beauty, it is a rare water hibiscus, and the femininity is full of pride. When they got to know each other, Cai E was not only intoxicated by her smiling and beautiful appearance, but also fell in love with her spirit, intelligence and beauty. At noon one day, Cai E wrote a couplet in Fengxian Xiao's behavior of gathering Sakamoto:

Beauty has been enlightened since ancient times.

Never a chivalrous woman.

This pair of couplets is well written, which conforms to Fengxian Xiao's identity and personality, and also reveals Cai E's vast and distant feelings. He once worshipped Liang Qichao as a teacher, and his prose was electrified. He was ready at once, and his literary talent was still outstanding. He compared Fengxian Xiao to a chivalrous woman. In his mind, he has stereotyped her as brave and knowledgeable gone with the wind, a chivalrous character, which is extraordinary and naturally has a meaningful elegance, which is refreshing. The lazy sunshine at noon deepened the feeling of deja vu between them. Fengxian Xiao smiled and said nothing. Her eyes were wide open. Those days were her happiest time.

Detectives have been gathering near Cai's apartment, and Yuan Shikai's people are keeping a close eye on Cai E's every move. But seeing was that he gave his feelings to Goulan, put aside his ambitions and simply moved to the dressing cabinet gathering class in Fengxian Xiao. Later, he even started talking about his marriage with Fengxian Xiao's mother. Such gossip, the size of the Beijing newspaper, nature also won't let go.

However, Fengxian Xiao naturally knows that this elegant Mr. Cai is by no means a vulgar person, but a dragon and phoenix among people. Although he is drunk every day, he wakes up every night to protect the country. He is an upright and strict gentleman. Hiding in the capital and getting involved in an affair is just a plan to hide the dragon and crouch the tiger. Behind many superficial phenomena, he still has very deep considerations. He is releasing information to the outside world-Yuan Shikai understood what he meant from Cai E's series of performances: imperialism is your business, and I won't interfere. He created a tacit understanding atmosphere for both sides, and Yuan Shikai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Cai E is brewing a great determination. Once his determination is formed, even if the earthquake shakes, it can't be changed. "Seeing that the world will soon praise Wang Mang's achievements and persuade him to sit down, Yuan Shikai will safely climb to its top and show the world what China people are!" Many people in China are indignant, but they don't rely on them, or they are in an inappropriate position, so it's hard to get rid of them. We know that our strength is limited and we may not be able to resist him, but those who fight for their personality for 40 million must work hard this time. "From beginning to end, he directed a big play, decisive, capable and resolute. He wanted to break free from the cage in one fell swoop, and then turned to fight Yuan.

Finally, Cai E will play the trick of peeling off the golden cicada under Yuan Shikai's nose. On a quiet night, he placed a round table and a silver hook on the slanting moon in the cool yard, and sprinkled the broken moonlight as snow on the courtyard of the yard. After they had a glass of wine, Cai E told the whole story about her plan. Fengxian Xiao immediately said that he is willing to share life and death with Cai E, sharing weal and woe. Cai E hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's difficult and dangerous to cross that mountain, so I have no time to think about anything else. You'd better stay in Beijing. I will definitely meet you when I succeed! "

The wind and cloud are quietly brewing, and people of all colors come and go, and good and evil people are mixed. Faced with the unpredictable and psychedelic chaos, Fengxian Xiao felt a sense of uncertainty about his own destiny, which also made them feel very uncomfortable under extraordinary circumstances. In order to hide his feelings of leaving, Fengxian Xiao put on his melted clothes and said goodbye to the people in front of him. At this moment, they let their hearts empty a completely blank heart, and filled it with the joy of sudden arrival and about to escape. She may have a hunch that he will become a permanent life and death tactic when he goes. The faint candlelight that night became brighter and brighter in my heart and became an immortal blue lamp.

On this day, the magnificent movement of the whole story was reached. Cai E came to Shannxi Lane to gather in Sakamoto, and there was a dizzy pink fragrance in the air. He and Fengxian Xiao became lovers, which made Yuan Shikai's detective team relax their vigilance. This day happened to be Miss Yunjiban's birthday, and someone came to pay tribute. Fengxian Xiao deliberately opened the window and hung Cai E's coat and hat on the hanger, which made people mistakenly think that Cai E had been enjoying himself in the den. Then, in the shadow of the chaos, Cai E escaped the spy's eyes, left Shaanxi Lane with the help and cover of Fengxian Xiao, hired a carriage and went straight to Qianmen Railway Station.

It's dark, before dawn, and the whole city of Beijing is still sleeping, and everything is hazy. You're finished. During this time, the thoughts and troubles that I couldn't get rid of all day suddenly and mysteriously untied and disappeared automatically. Although the prosperity is gone and the dream is traceless, Fengxian Xiao's heart is as quiet as a lotus. They parted in tears, and Cai E boarded an eastbound train in disguise, and then diverted to Kunming.

After a series of changes, Cai E became more mature and sophisticated in the chaos. Cross the ocean, raise the banner of begging for yuan, go a thousand miles and stand up to protect the country.

It is obviously a desperate determination to use thousands of soldiers against hundreds of thousands of Yuan Jun. He will "fight for the personality of 40 million compatriots" with his own blood and life.

And Cai E's "eating too much and killing yourself, sleeping at night and hurting the spirit early" is already disgusting. 191165438+1In the early morning of October 8, general Cai E, a military commander, died at the age of 37 in Fukuoka, Japan. He was born for * * *, died for * * *, and was short-lived because of jealousy. Although it is regrettable, he saved the emerging * * * and was fearless in times of crisis, and finally made great achievements and remained immortal. One of his oral wills said, "If you don't try your best to live in the Republic of China, you will be buried thinly", which shows that he is also a member of the people.

It's just that he didn't realize the oath that Yuan Jiwei must be unified. On his deathbed, in a series of lost thoughts, did Fengxian Xiao's happy smile ever flash in his eyes?

The state held a grand public sacrifice for Cai E in Beijing Central Park. Li, Sun Yat-sen and other dignitaries and people from all walks of life attended the memorial ceremony. The hall of mourning hall is filled with wreaths and wreaths. Sun Yat-sen wrote: "I have been generous all my life, and Wan Li has closed the horse"; Liang Qichao wrote: "The people depend on the public, and the heroes have no life." Heroes don't live long, and it's still sad to read these elegies a hundred years later.

When Fengxian Xiao learned the bad news, he was in great pain and his soul had dissipated. Halfway through the memorial service, she quietly came in white and sent two elegiac couplets:

Unfortunately, Zhou Lang was short-lived.

If I had known that Li Jing was a hero.

Nine days in the south of Wan Li, Peng Yi soared into the sky. It was a lifelong concern, and an accidental marriage turned into a dream.

Eighteen years of rouge north, since the sad fall, won a hero confidant, peach blossom color is also spring and autumn.

In front of the text, a line of small print reads: "Farewell to Mr. Songpo, friends in this life, and continue in the next life", and the signature is "Fengyun Jingwan". These two couplets are neat and appropriate, just like hating the sea and looking at the white clouds, and their feelings are deep and self-contained, and they spread all over the capital for a while.

The legendary experience of Fengxian Xiao and Cai E was only a short moment. She tried her best to help Cai E hide her eyes and ears. When Cai E stepped onto the plank road and secretly left Beijing, everything was over, and both she and Cai E were doomed. When she woke up, there was no one around her. She is alone in a legendary and psychedelic city, with only tiny streamers around the eight hutongs. The scent of Sophora japonica wafted from the depths of the alley, which made her feel behind the times.

Next, she lived an ordinary life in obscurity. Her life was full of ups and downs, and when she came uninvited, she would be rewarded and eventually forgotten. In silent eyes, 195 1 year, she once heard the story of "Cai E and Fengxian Xiao" on the radio. Her face was full of memories, tears welled up in her eyes, and her heart was like rain dripping under the eaves.

Some people will say that in the relationship between Cai E and Fengxian Xiao, there is a feeling of being used and being used. Moreover, the hero easily passed the beauty barrier. Compared with their official career, love is just an after-dinner pastime, what's more, it is a big undertaking like Cai E. Politics is never inseparable from beauty, and women are nothing. Women have always been used to lay the foundation for people's careers, and even dyed their hats with red blood.

However, the shrewd calculation and utilitarian heart of modern women may fail here. The love between Cai E and Fengxian Xiao wouldn't be a legend if it hadn't happened at that time. Tao Jie, a Hong Kong writer, spoke highly of Fengxian Xiao:

During the Republic of China, the awakening of women was not only the arrival of a large number of ladies in schools, but also a phenomenon that appeared long before Lin, Zhang Ailing, Pan and others crossed the ocean: without reading sage books and knowing foreign languages, they could wear flags and embroidered shoes, but they could see people clearly and understand the righteousness deeply.

Honestly. Later, this brothel chivalrous woman, as a member of Cai's family, was finally confirmed by Cai's descendants, which is the best proof. For me, just like Hongfu, Li and Liu, even if they are dusty, they are destined to be more than just a bright flower card, but beyond their own times and realm.

About the places where Fengxian Xiao and Cai E often meet, some say they are in Shaanxi Lane, some say they are in Baishun Hutong, and some say they are in Cherry Xie Jie, which is only three to five minutes' walk from Shaanxi Lane. It is said that the nearby "Wen Jun Pavilion" is the place where they finally met and fled from there. The building is an old building with double-layer pure wood structure, surrounded by red corridors and green eaves. Built in the Qianlong period, it was once the Guizhou Guild Hall at the earliest. Two years ago, an operator once opened a bosom friend teahouse there. Occasionally, some people will recall those past events, old shadows, graceful tea fragrance, blood and romance, chivalry and charm. These legendary colors have preserved the texture of old dreams, allowing them to penetrate the barrier of time and continue to this day.
