How old was Yang when he died?

Yang was a geisha and actor in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. She was sold to her adoptive father, Yang Maozun, who asked her to study drama and named her Tracy. Later, he began to sing Hua Dan Opera in Tianjin Xiesheng Tea Garden, Grand View Garden and other theaters, under the name of Van Gogh Palace, Hongmeige, picking up jade bracelets and selling rouge. Yang was hired by the Grand View Garden Theatre, which made her famous and became a popular actress for a while.

The Yang family is very poor. When he was twelve, he went to Tianjin with his parents. At that time, the Boxer Rebellion was raging, and it was not peaceful. They fled to Lutai Town, northeast of Tianjin. When the Boxer Rebellion became the fiercest, the family had nothing to live for, so Yang Fu had to sell Trish to Chen Mou. After Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Tianjin, Chen Mou followed Tracy back to Tianjin and lived in Baijia Hutong in the city, next to Yang Mao. A few days later, Chen Mou sold her to Yang Maozun, Yang Maozun's wife, and Tracy's foster mother was Li Yang. From then on, Yang became a geisha.

At that time, geisha in Tianjin was called a temporary prosperity. A man named Chen Guobi bought two young girls, one called Cuifeng and the other called Cuihong, who played immortals in Tianjin and made a lot of money. Yang Maozun was particularly envious of this, so he discussed with Chen Guobi to let Yang learn drama from Cui Feng and others. When Yang 14 years old, she made her debut in the Xiesheng Tea Garden of Hou's family. Since then, she has been singing Hua Dan Opera in Tianjin Xiesheng Tea Garden, Grand View Garden and other theaters, and gradually emerged, but her popularity is not prosperous and her income is very thin.

16 years old, Yang Maozun took her to perform in Harbin. Two years later, she returned to Tianjin, was hired by the Grand View Garden Theatre, became famous in one fell swoop, and began to make a name for herself in Tianjin, attracting many famous hotels to join, and was a top actress for a while. At that time, Tracy was eighteen. Soon, Yang was hired by Tianxian Garden. She was sought after by the wealthy businessman Wang of Tianjin and the alternate section of Zhili.

Yang's emotional experience:

In the thirty-second year of Guangxu (1906), he fell in love with Yang for a long time and wrote many words and songs with true feelings. He went to Shanghai on business and sent two "Bodhisattvas" to Yang.

First, the flowers on Yan Zhishan are like snow, and the people under Yan Zhi Mountain are like the moon. The eyebrows are scattered in the green clouds, and the eyebrows are light. Autumn leaves are sparse after sunset and rain; Fear of small words and worry, talk and worry are not ashamed.

Second, the evening breeze is weak and tender, and the eyes are forgotten to be green; At the end of the month, Du Yu in Jiangnan cried. Crazy soul pin twist, willing to wear Hua Die; Outside the curtain, the flowers are shaded, and the fragrance touches the dream.

Li Shutong, who is good at painting, singing and understanding temperament, has made great efforts in improving traditional drama. Every night, he goes to the "Fairy Garden" where Yang sings. After watching the play, he takes a lantern to accompany her home. Explain the historical background of Yang's opera, and guide her to sing and sing.

For Yang, he is a bosom friend and a mentor, and he also thinks that the two of them can form a romantic alliance and spend their lives together. However, nature played tricks on people, and finally only dropped a stick and hit Yuanyang in all directions. It is said that this relationship is also one of the reasons why Li Shutong sees through the world of mortals.
