In the secular definition, a woman's greatest success is probably like this: superior family, happy marriage, loyal husband, quiet years and stable life. ...
And there is a woman, it is precisely the opposite of this "success": she was born in an ordinary family, forced by life, sold to a brothel by her parents, and made a living by busking.
Encountered domestic violence after marriage, resolutely divorced and raised four children alone. Failed to start a business, cheated in attracting investment, and was jailed twice. ...
But it was such a "bad card" that she just blew it up by herself.
/kloc-at the age of 0/5, she got away from the brothel and became the governor's wife; At the age of 35, he divorced and founded the famous Shanghai Jinjiang Hotel. At the age of 52, at the invitation of Zhou Enlai, he hosted a banquet at home; More than 90 years old, still elegant and moving, addressed as "sir."
This is Dong Zhujun.
Dong Zhujun's life before 13 years old was dull. His parents are not rich and expensive, but they can hardly afford their own study expenses. She was charming at an early age and was called "Little Beauty".
Her father, the only pillar of the family, was sold to a brothel by his parents when he was sick and desperate.
300 dollars is the whole value of Dong Zhujun.
With her beautiful appearance and gentle singing voice, Dong Zhujun soon became the number one brothel, and countless people fell at her feet, including Xia Zhishi.
Xia Zhishi is tall and handsome. He studied in Japan in his early years. At the age of 24, he served as deputy commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief of Shu Army. He is young and promising.
It is not difficult for Xia Zhishi to help Dong Zhujun get salvation with his financial resources and ability, but Dong Zhujun must jump out of the fire pit by himself.
She said that if she was redeemed by Xia Zhishi, she would eventually become his accessory. What she wants is freedom. She wants to set foot on this land side by side with Xia Zhishi on the basis of equality.
In addition, she also put forward three conditions: first, the media is married and will never be a little wife; Second, send her to Japan to study; Third, after marriage, the man is outside the house and the woman is inside.
Even though he had fallen into the dust at that time, he still had no flashy fireworks, but he was lofty and stubborn in his bones. This is Dong Zhujun.
19 14, Dong Zhujun escaped from a brothel. She took off her beautiful clothes and put on simple plain clothes without any gold, silver or jewelry.
Come clean and go clean.
In the late spring of the same year, 15-year-old Dong Zhujun and 27-year-old Xia Zhishi got married in a foreign company. From the brothel woman to the governor's wife, she completed the first reversal of her life.
Newlyweds are always sweet, one is a beautiful and free from vulgarity girl, and the other is a heroic commander. It is beautiful to stand together.
Xia Zhishi kept her promise and sent her to Tokyo Women's Normal College to associate with her friends.
Men send women to school just to make them more qualified wallflowers, but they don't expect them to have independent souls.
Dong Zhujun is not a dodder attached to a tree. When those dignitaries mocked her intentionally or unintentionally as a prostitute, she secretly vowed to show them a brand-new self.
She attends classes during the day and is busy reading books at night. She will pick up the wasted time of youth bit by bit.
The delicate woman of that year has begun to become an open woman.
In life, the two most terrible people are out of sync. She, the beauty, did not die; He, the hero, is dead.
Xia Zhishi is a male chauvinist, because his career was frustrated, he was dismissed from the army.
This once high-spirited teenager collapsed, got into the bad habit of smoking opium, and didn't like that Dong Zhujun only gave him daughters.
Beating and cursing at every turn, the dark domestic violence made Dong Zhujun feel suffocated. This love should last for a long time. If you are heartless, I will stop.
Facing this most familiar stranger, Dong Zhujun filed for divorce, which was the second time that she fled for freedom and independence.
Xia Zhishi also struggled to recover, but when a person survived all the hardships, he would be strong and unyielding.
Dong Zhujun left a divorce agreement, straightened his back, looked him in the eye and walked forward proudly.
Divorce with four children will be very difficult in any era, let alone in wartime.
When a person has nothing, then she will be fearless. In desperation, fate took care of her and met Li.
He was deeply shocked by this brave and heroic strange girl. He extended a helping hand to Dong Zhujun.
Dong Zhujun took the borrowed 2000 yuan and decided to open Jinjiang Hotel at the last stop.
Life is never too late, and the glory that belongs to Dong Zhujun has finally arrived.
Jinjiang was on fire, and it was a mess. Chaplin once tasted crispy duck here, and even Du, Huang and Huang were its guests.
Some people say that Dong Zhujun is so lucky. When he was young, he got to know Xia Zhishi, got rid of the shackles and broadened the pattern. When I was down and out, I met Li and made a comeback from the mud.
But sometimes luck is not an ability. If you don't work hard, even if others lend a helping hand and want to help, you won't find out where this person is.
Dong Zhujun took great pains in the design of the hotel. Palace lanterns carved in mahogany, bamboo paintings by Zhang Daqian, photography by Lang Jingshan and calligraphy by Guo Moruo all reveal the uniqueness of exquisiteness.
This concern runs through Dong Zhujun's life.
In a special time, Dong Zhujun went to prison twice. The harsh environment did not make her casual and perfunctory, and she was still elegant and calm.
For Dong Zhujun, this persistence is a pair of pride of not giving in to suffering, and it is also her spiritual belief of "living for beauty and living upward".
People always say that the books you have read and the roads you have traveled have created a person's temperament; I just forgot one thing: there is still suffering.
Under inhuman torture, Dong Zhujun lived to the age of 97. In the sunshine, the face that has experienced countless vicissitudes is still elegant and moving.
The four daughters raised alone also have their own ambitions:
The eldest daughter Xia and the second daughter Xia went to the United States to study piano and vocal music.
The third daughter Xia studied film technology in new york and founded Bayi Film Studio after returning to China.
After graduating from St. John's University, my youngest daughter, Xia Guozhang, also went to the United States to study for a doctorate.
Years owe her, and finally pay her back gently.
Dong Zhujun's life is magnificent, from a brothel woman to a warlord's wife to a business tycoon. She has stumbled in love, but she knows that love is gone and life is still there.
Be open and honest all your life, try your best to live, remain independent in the face of happiness, and don't lose face in the face of suffering.
I think this sentence is the best interpretation of her life.
