From ancient times to the present, there has always been such a group of people among the people. They are always very accurate when telling fortune, so they are sought after by many people and think they are fortunetellers. However, with the discovery of the times, more and more people no longer believe in fortune telling. In fact, there is no such thing as believing or not, just seeking psychological comfort.
In the Republic of China, there was a strange man who was very accurate in fortune-telling. This man predicted many people's lives, and all of them came true in the end, but he was not a professional fortune-teller. Fortune-telling was just his personal hobby, but he predicted many people's lives, but he died in the street in the end. How did this happen?
Lin Gengbai in his childhood
Lin Gengbai was born in Minhou County, Fujian Province in 1897. His parents died after his birth, and he was brought up by his sister. However, Lin Gengbai showed his extraordinary side at an early age. At the age of four, he was able to write articles independently, and at the age of seven, he was able to write poems. At the age of eight, he went to Beijing to study. The local people all knew that he was a genius, but it was exactly so.
In order to continue his studies, Lin Gengbai's sister had to transfer him to Beiyang Hakka School, but Lin Geng Bai was honest for two years, so he began to engage in anti-Japanese movements at school and was kicked out of the house again. When thirteen-year-old Lin Gengbai saw that these schools were unwilling to accept him, he simply lied that he was eighteen and was admitted to Beijing Normal University with the first place.
At school, Lin Gengbai got to know Wang Jingwei, the backbone of the League, and became a member of the League under his recommendation. Later, 15-year-old Lin Geng Bai participated in the "Xinhai Revolution" and became the youngest member of this revolution. Because most people recognized Lin Geng Bai's talent, Lin Gengbai stayed with Sun Yat-sen and worked for him. By the sixth year of the Republic of China, he was in the crowd.
Lin Gengbai followed Sun Yat-sen out of politics and indulged in fortune-telling
Just as Sun Yat-sen was preparing for the "Protection Movement", when Lin Geng Bai went to Guangzhou to help Sun Yat-sen hold a parliamentary meeting, their "revolutionary fruit" was stolen by Yuan Shikai, which made Sun Yat-sen suffer a big blow, so he resigned from the presidency in anger, and Lin Gengbai also withdrew from politics, and then devoted himself to literary creation.
At this time, Lin Gengbai was at a loss because he had seen the dark side hidden in politics. He didn't know what he should do in the future, so he began to indulge in numerology, hoping to find some spiritual comfort from it. However, Lin Geng Ginkgo did not live up to the name of genius and made great achievements in fortune telling.
After learning fortune telling, Lin Gengbai calculated the lives of many celebrities, and wrote the endings of these people in A Person's Guide? In the book Numerology, Lin Geng Bai once said that "Xiangcheng is ugly and empty, so it only takes 83 days to weigh the system. If Mao You dries up and breaks the trend that Si You will avoid, it will affect the whole situation, and it is appropriate for him to die". Xiangcheng here refers to Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Shikai's final fate is indeed as Lin Gengbai said, only when he became the emperor for 83 days, he is stepping down.
In addition, he calculated birthdates for Xu Zhimo. He asserted that Xu Zhimo would eventually die. Finally, Xu Zhimo really died because of the plane crash. Because Lin Gengbai's fortune-telling accuracy was high, many people paid attention to it, and many politicians came to visit him one after another, wanting to know what their fate was like.
People are curious to tell their own fortune and predict that they will not live beyond 5 years old.
After calculating the fate of others, Lin Gengbai began to feel curious about his own fate. He calculated that there would be a good fortune and a bad fortune in his life. Good fortune means that he can marry a wife with both talent and appearance, and bad fortune means life. He calculated that he would not live beyond 5 years old.
In order to conform to this auspicious situation, Lin Geng Bai resolutely divorced his current wife, and then pursued true love. Because she didn't know which woman would be her future wife, Lin Gengbai pursued many famous women, and finally married a Lin Beili, who is twenty years younger than him. Lin Beili is Lin Huiyin's cousin, who is good-looking, educated and very obedient to Lin Gengbai. Therefore, Lin Geng's married life is still very good.
But after marriage, Lin Gengbai is over forty years old, and he is very afraid of the fate of not living beyond fifty years old. Therefore, he has been deducing his birthdates, trying to find a way out. Later, when the war broke out, Lin Geng took his wife and fled everywhere. In the process of fleeing, he met a very famous fortune-teller Tao Banmei. After seeing Lin Gengbai's face, Tao Banmei calculated the same result.
In order to avoid this disaster, Lin Gengbai hurriedly packed his things and took his wife to Hong Kong. As a result, Hong Kong was occupied by the Japanese on the tenth day after he arrived in Hong Kong. One day, Lin Gengbai went out shopping and unfortunately met a Japanese soldier who was checking the population. The Japanese soldier mistook him for a member of the Central Committee of the National Government. At this time, Lin Gengbai was very flustered. He had a premonition that his death might be today, so he hurried home to avoid this Japanese soldier.
I have to say that this is really a farce. Even if we can see the fate of others, nothing will change in the end. If Lin Gengbai didn't learn fortune-telling, then maybe his fate will change in another way. However, there are various opinions about Lin Geng Bai's fortune-telling. Some people say that he is a swindler, while others say that he is a numerologist. What do you think?
