At the age of 60, marry a girl of 19. As a 6-year-old aunt, Kang Youwei forced his wife not to remarry at the last moment of his life.

Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, the founders of the Reform Movement, fled Beijing because they were wanted by Empress Dowager Cixi, and finally took refuge in Japan. From then on, they lived a wandering life. During their stay in Japan, he used the so-called "imperial edict", that is, the secret imperial edict of Emperor Guangxu, to raise a large amount of property. Although he has always advocated "monogamy" and equality between men and women, he is merciful everywhere in private, except for the original match.

When Kang Youwei married his sixth aunt, Zhang Guang, he was 60 years old, while Zhang Guangnian was only 19 years old. The age difference between them is 465,438+0 years old. However, Kang Youwei fell in love with Zhang Guang at first sight. When he saw her by the lake in Hangzhou, he was shocked. He immediately prepared a gift to propose marriage, but it was rejected. Kang Youwei didn't give up. He ordered the matchmaker to come to the door every day and launch a money offensive. Kang Youwei loved Zhang Guang very much, and hired a tutor to teach Zhang Guang to read and practice calligraphy, and accompanied him through the last eight years of his life. However, before 1927 died, Kang Youwei asked Zhang Guang not to remarry. Although Zhang Guangnian was only 27 years old and had no children, after her death, she became a widow of 18 and lived in seclusion in the countryside.

Kang Youwei was very popular with women all his life. Zhang Yunzhu is his cousin. Zhang Yunzhu, who received traditional education since childhood, is a real wife. She and Kang Youwei had four daughters and a man, and only the second daughter lived to be 68 years old. My second aunt, Mrs. Liang Suijue/kloc-married Kang Youwei at the age of 0/7, 22 years younger than Kang Youwei. After the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, she followed Kang Youwei to exile and admired Kang Youwei's literary talent very much, at the age of 89. At the age of 49, Kang Youwei fell in love with He Youli, an American overseas Chinese aged 16, and got married in less than a year. He Youli, a talented third aunt, gave birth to a son and a daughter, but died of scarlet fever in Shanghai at the age of 24.

At that time, when Sanyi was pregnant with a second child, Kang Youwei lived in Kobe, Japan, and hired a local girl, Shikoku and Zi, as a maid to take care of Sanyi. They became Kang Youwei's four aunts for a long time, but in 1925, Kang Youwei and his eldest son Kang Tongzhen kept it a secret and became pregnant with a child. In the second year, Kang Youwei sent Kazuo back to Japan, and gave birth to him after returning home. Later, Kang Youwei married Mrs. Liao, the fifth aunt, to alleviate the grief of the death of Mrs. Liao, the third aunt. They had a daughter who died young. In their later years, Kang Youwei's six wives were younger than one, but their fate was more tragic than one, which made people sad.
