Among the four great sons of the Republic of China, there are Zhang Xueliang, who loves women without regrets all his life, Pu Dong, a cousin of Puyi who is close to the country, and Zhang Boju, a great collector who only envies Yuanyang but not immortals.

There is another person, Yuan Kewen, the second son of Yuan Shikai in the Republic of China.

Yuan sings operas, drinks, writes poems and collects everything. He ate, drank and had fun all his life, but Yu Youren, an old teacher of the Kuomintang tycoon, commented on him like this: "Love is built with children, and Zhuang Zhou is materialized."

In the movie Farewell My Concubine, there is a master Yuan who is desperate to see a play, even if he is beaten, he is addicted to it. The prototype of Master Yuan is Yuan Kewen, the second son of Yuan Shikai.

Let's talk about this second son Yuan today ~

- 1-

Genji 1989 was born in Seoul, North Korea, and he is an absolute genius. He never forgets things when reading, and his memory is incomparable to ordinary people. Besides, he is handsome, so Yuan Shikai likes him very much since he was a child.

He began to study at the age of six, studied classics and history at the age of seven, wrote articles at the age of ten, and mastered poetry and songs at the age of fifteen. When Yuan Shikai was the governor of Zhili, he took Yuan Kewen to the Summer Palace to celebrate the birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi.

Cixi summoned Yuan and his son alone, when Yuan was just sixteen or seventeen. Cixi looked at the handsome Yuan and liked her very much. She is going to marry her niece to him.

However, Yuan Shikai was worried that Cixi wanted to spy on herself, and immediately knelt down and told her that Kevin had been engaged since he was a child, and it was delayed again and again. Empress Dowager Cixi believed it and felt sorry for it. Yuan Shikai refused the marriage of Empress Dowager Cixi, fearing that he would be guilty of deceiving the monarch, so he secretly found a chance for his second son.

He turned his attention to Liu Meizhen, granddaughter of Guangdong Governor Liu Ruifen.

Liu Meizhen is a noble family. She can write a beautiful book in lowercase letters, and she also writes poems. She is familiar with melody and plays the guzheng very well. After reading these poems and calligraphy, Yuan was amazed and felt confident.

The marriage was thus settled.

Yuan is different from his father in other respects, but only one thing is very similar, that is lewd. Think about it. Yuan Shikai, a short man with a height of only 1.53 meters, had one wife and nine concubines all his life because of his power, wealth and lust.

So these two sons are open to beautiful women, including those famous prostitutes. He dedicated himself to every beautiful woman and showed his love to everyone. Although he had a sweet time with his wife after he married Yuan, he could not change his romantic nature. He likes to spend his life in romantic places.

19 15 years, Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor in Beijing.

After Yuan Shikai had breakfast, his eldest son Yuan Dingke gave me a copy of Shuntian Times. In the newspaper, the headline said that the people supported President Yuan Da as emperor. Yuan Shikai looked at it and said, "Where people go, the world belongs." But Yuan is against it.

One day, when he visited the Summer Palace, he couldn't help reciting a poem: "A pony, stop for a minute, and its sound made him dream for three nights." Don't pity the wind and rain, don't go to Qiongding Building. "

This poem angered Yuan Shikai and imprisoned him in Beihai for a long time.

In the same year, 65438+February 65438+February, Yuan Shikai received a congratulatory message from all the officials in Jurentang, and officially proclaimed himself emperor, causing an uproar. Backstage of Xinmin Theater, a constantly chauffeured man is painting "tofu block" on his face. Someone "Deng Deng" rushed in:

"Sir Zhong, President Yuan ascended the throne today. Hurry home. "

Dude stood up slowly and replied, "If my father wants to be emperor, he will be his emperor, and Mr. Zhong will sing my play." The son with "tofu" painted on his face is Yuan, known as Mr. Yuan.

Mr. Yuan is good at playing the clown. Peking Opera was all the rage at that time, and famous actors such as Mei Lanfang, Cheng, Shang Xiaoyun and Xun Huisheng were all actresses. Many stars are full. But Mr. Zhong doesn't love clowns and doesn't care if there are many scenes. It is most important to be enjoyable, cool and happy.

As soon as Mr. Zhong left,

After Sir Zhong finished singing the play, the messenger immediately went up and said, "Sir Zhong, the play is over, so hurry home." Mr. Yuan is busy removing makeup. He replied, "No, Mr. Yuan, I have another game. Let's talk about it when I am ready. "

Yuan's eldest son and Yuan Shikai are very similar in character and ambitious. When Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, Yuan Dingke, the eldest son, had unprecedented ambitions. He thought that as a "prince", he could indulge the emperor.

Yuan Jia has 17 sons, and he is afraid that Mr. Yuan will take power.

Yuan set up a "Hongmen Banquet" to entertain Mr. Yuan. Sir Zhong shook his sleeves and left. At the dinner table, he said, "Sir Zhong, I don't want to be a prince. I'm full, I'm leaving! "

As soon as he left, Sir Zhong went to Shanghai. Make friends all over the world and drink all the flowers in the world. From Liyuan to green gang, from literati to pawns, Sir Zhong has friends all over the world.

In Shanghai, Mr. Yuan joined green gang. During the Republic of China, "green gang" was a secret social organization affiliated to the underworld, which had great influence. It has strict seniority and is arranged according to the four characters of "Great Harmony Enlightenment". "Big" generation is the number one figure in the gang. Because of his special status, Mr. Zhong naturally belongs to the "big" generation. There are hundreds of disciples in green gang, and Sir Zhong is the boss as soon as he enters. Even Huang and Du had to respectfully call themselves "little bosses" when they saw Mr. Yuan.

Mr. Yuan is the boss. He has no knife, gun, axe, etc. And his intercession is all "human feelings." At the Shanghai Theatre, local hooligans quarreled with Peking Opera actors, and they began to suffer. Before leaving, he said, "I want to wash the theater with blood!" " " .

The next morning, hundreds of people rushed into the theater and threatened to throw bombs. The boss turned to Mr. Yuan. Hearing this, the second master put on his mourning clothes and hat and went to the theatre alone.

Mr. Yuan went to the meeting alone, and the hooligans were shocked by his courage. Master Yuan gave up: "For my sake today, would you please not throw bombs?" The rogue listened to Yuan's words and immediately withdrew. In Shanghai, no one gives Mr. Yuan face. But his men said, "Sir Zhong smiles at everyone and always whispers to us."

Sir Zhong does everything with respect. The singer wanted to exchange famous brands with him, and he never refused. The pawn wanted to be his opposite sex brother, and he nodded in agreement.

When Mr. Yuan was rich, he spent all his money. Whether it's a literary friend, a prostitute or a rickshaw puller, everyone who knows Mr. Yuan has read his good ideas. Teacher Yuan often said that people are divided into sexes, but there is no distinction between seniority and inferiority. Making friends can't just talk about the rich and the poor.

When Sir Zhong opened the incense hall, the first thing he said to his new disciples was: "As soon as you enter the house, remember not to despise the vulgar society and try your best to help them."

For a long time, Mr. Yuan's "human touch" has become a household name in Shanghai. It is this "human touch" that makes people truly convinced in the blood pool of old Shanghai.

1965438+Beijing on June 6th, 2006 was extremely hot. Yuan Shuzhen, the third daughter of Yuan Shikai, went shopping and saw in the newspaper that "Yuan thief violated the rules and stole the fruits of the revolution!" .

When the daughter showed the newspaper to her father, Yuan Shikai felt remorse. He felt that the tide was gone and the hero fell ill in his twilight years. On his deathbed, Yuan Shikai called his eldest son Yuan, leaving only the last three words: "You hurt me, you hurt me, you hurt me!"

Why did Yuan Shikai blame his eldest son?

At that time, Yuan wanted to take advantage of his father's presidency, but he fell off his horse while riding in his hometown of Henan. After that, his leg was crippled and he limped. Yuan Shikai sent his eldest son to Germany to treat his leg injury and asked him to inspect the German system and strategy of governing the country.

Ding Yuan can encourage Yuan Shikai to abolish the harmony system and adopt an imperial system. Yuan Shikai is a wily man and won't accept his son's advice so easily. So Yuan asked people to publish some articles in the newspaper every day about China's hope that China would take the road of monarchy, and sent the newspaper to Lao Yuan's desk every day for him to read.

No matter how clever Yuan Shikai is, he won't think it's a scam. He really believed that the restoration of monarchy was the general trend and the aspiration of the people, so he stepped up the pace of abolishing monarchy. Later, people learned that Yuan Shikai had been emperor for 83 days, and Yuan Shikai, who had been a hero all his life, died in extreme disappointment.

The whole family building will collapse and the dim lights will go out. After Yuan Shikai's death, Ding Yuan, the eldest son, became the head of the family, and the first thing to do was to divide the property.

The Yuan family has 32 children, all of whom are worried about more points and less points. Asked my second brother Yuan, Yuan pushed his hat: "You can divide it as you like. My second brother, let's go to the theatre!"

1965438+On June 28th, 2006, Yuan Shikai went to the funeral, and 32 children had to send their father a ride. Only the second son, Yuan, is missing. My family is looking all over the world, but I can't find it. It never occurred to me that even for such a big event as his father's funeral, Mr. Zhong was fascinated by opera and went to the theater to sing.

Eldest brother Yuan cursed "this is a disgrace to the family" and immediately sent Xue Songping, the public security bureau chief, to meet people at the theater. As a result, Xue Songping had just arrived at the theater, and green gang disciples had packed the front and rear doors of the theater. Don't tell anyone, Xue Songping can't even get in the door!

Finally, Xue Songping, who squeezed into the theater, knelt down at the sight of Yuan. "Sir Zhong, you come with me! The family is waiting! " Mr. Yuan turned and said, "Mr. Yuan, I have another program tomorrow. After singing, I won't sing. "

As a result, Yuan couldn't help it.

After Yuan Shikai's death, Yuan Kewen got100,000 yuan and some other property, which was enough for him to live, but he was unable to make a living, not a careful person. He likes to collect antiques, such as ancient books, jade articles, sculptures, coins, seals, paintings, inkstones and stamps. As long as it is his favorite food, no matter how much it costs, he must buy it.

No amount of money can stand such profligacy! Plus, he is extravagant and addicted to smoking. He often smokes in bed. Sometimes he visits his friends and he even lets him smoke with him. In this way, his economy and body will soon be unable to support him. Anyway, he is still the same.

Soon, Yuan ran out of money and had to start selling words to make money.

Before Yuan Shikai died, people bought Yuan Kewen's words, probably because of Yuan Shikai's face. But after Yuan's death, people were still willing to buy Yuan's handwriting because it was so good.

As long as he is willing to write, it will sell well.

Yuan's writing style is unique, that is, he can hang paper on his desk and let people hold it at both ends. His pen is vigorous and powerful, and the paper is undamaged, which is difficult for ordinary calligraphers to do. When he smokes opium, he often lies on his back in bed, holding a paper in one hand and a pen in the other, writing out of thin air. After writing and reading, the font is beautiful without skew and distortion. My friends were all surprised when they saw it.

At that time, various tabloids in Shanghai asked him to write headlines, and some books also asked him to sign. In this way, he is not short of money.

However, Mr. Yuan's life is full of crazy songs, traveling around the world, visiting prostitutes' homes, drinking Huasan and spending money on music, but he still doesn't blink. A prostitute asked him for words and poems. With a stroke of his pen, Master Zhong wrote a word: Send! Even a desperate brothel woman begged him to be redeemed, but Master Zhong didn't frown and just said, "Redeem!" ! Master Yuan often said: People want you, so you can't lower the face of those who ask for help.

1922, Chaoshan, Guangdong province suffered a severe typhoon, and100000 people were killed. Mr. Yuan, who was watching a play in Tianjin, read the newspaper and wrote a word: Donate! Sir Zhong donated money and lost everything. He sold all his calligraphy and painting, but he didn't think it was enough. He took Mei Lanfang and a bunch of bosses to the stage for a benefit performance. All the money will be donated, not a penny. Mr. Yuan is a man of integrity, understanding the righteousness, understanding and understanding, and stands up when things go wrong.

With this money, Mr. Yuan is getting poorer and poorer. You can't find a penny when you are poor.

But no matter how poor you are, you won't have no spirit at all. For Mr. Yuan, losing his role is tantamount to hitting his face. Mr. Yuan never sticks to his own opinion.

It is said that the poor people are neglected in the bustling city, but when Mr. Zhong is poor, people who send money are all waiting in line at the door. The children of the green gang are the first to line up at the door. They delivered "money exchange" at home. Yuan hid and didn't see them at all. He said, "Sir Zhong, I can write and make money. You earn hard-earned money and need to cash it! "

The great warlord "Northeast Tiger" Zhang was the second person to come in. After knowing his situation, Zhang sent someone to ask Mr. Yuan to be a senior consultant. Master Yuan has only one sentence: "Master Yuan, I am not a servant!"

The third person in line is Japanese. I came to ask Mr. Yuan to be their dog, and Mr. Yuan was very angry. "Who are you talking to? Get out of the way, Mr. Yuan. I'm going to Huasan! "

No matter how down and out, no matter how ups and downs of the times, Mr. Yuan is such a son, full of lofty sentiments, alone in the Soviet Union and lonely.

A gentleman chooses carefully and does not associate with poisonous beasts. Mr. Yuan does not harm his health, does not disgrace his mission, and regards nobility as his life. What a gentleman!

-7-

No matter how the times change, for a son like Mr. Yuan, he is still Mr. Yuan even if he sleeps in the street! 193 1 At the beginning, Master Yuan got scarlet fever. He had no money to treat him, but unfortunately he went to a brothel to drink Huasan wine. This time, he was drunk and could not wake up. He was 42 years old that year.

When it was time to do my own funeral, I searched everything at home and found only 20 yuan of silver, and I couldn't even buy a coffin. Finally, it was green gang's disciples who chipped in to buy a coffin for the former "little boss".

There was a long queue for miles on the day of the funeral, which was longer than the funeral procession when his father Yuan Shikai died. Among the funeral procession, there were high officials, monks and pawns. What is even more unexpected is that there are thousands of prostitutes in the team, wearing badges and white ropes on their heads, crying and spontaneously coming to see Yuan off. There are many people sleeping among flowers and willows in history, but there must be an unprecedented adventure like Yuan.

There is a poem that says, "We are all degenerates in the world. Only when we meet can we see the truth clearly." . In the funeral procession, someone shouted: After Master Yuan left, there will be no Master Yuan in the world.

Zhang Xueliang once boasted, "I have nothing to regret in my life. I only love women. " However, many of his things are just embellishments of his political and military career. Yuan hated politics all his life, stayed away from power, loved flowers like life, and had the highest talent. Although he is not a hero with outstanding achievements, it is not an exaggeration to sum it up with "Gentle country is the tomb of heroes". So in his place, Rouxiang is far better than the besieged city.

There are many ways to win people's hearts, such as resorting to authority, money offensive or warm words. What does Yuan Kewen rely on? Very talented, six points kind, three points energetic. Although he has been in a state of debauchery all his life, he still can't hide his flaws, because such a son has taught us two long-lost words: character.

How many people in the world can do what Mr. Yuan does now?
