Wei Zi's sister's life

The story of the late Qing Dynasty is often talked about by people after dinner, because this period is a turbulent period. With the entry of advanced western ideas, people are unwilling to be bound by feudal ideas, and a large number of promising young people have emerged. They accepted new ideas and advocated reform, which turned a new page in the Qing Dynasty. It was the efforts of revolutionaries that led to a new feudal China.

The people are like this, and so are some members of the royal family. They are willing to give up their aristocratic status, the treasures handed down by their ancestors, actively integrate into the new society and accept new ideas. Pu Yi's sister Hua Fei is such a person. She gave up her aristocratic status, devoted herself to education, and lived happily in her later years.

Gege-garland in Qing Dynasty

Hua Fei's brother is the late Qing Emperor Puyi, and her father is Regent Zai Feng. Many people say that Hua Fei was the last princess in the Qing Dynasty. Huafei was born in 192 1, ranking seventh in the family, so she is called "Seven Princesses". However, 192 1 (the tenth year of the Republic of China) is already the Republic of China, Zai Feng is no longer the Regent, and Puyi has abdicated. How can we say "Gege"?

Tracing back to the source, we should start with Puyi's abdication. The reason why the Qing Dynasty retreated without fighting had a lot to do with Regent Zai Feng, who was only 6 years old at that time and could not make decisions. Zai Feng's evaluation of history is quite positive. During Zai Feng's tenure as Regent, he had vaguely felt that the Qing Dynasty was out of luck and unpopular. If he stubbornly resists, he will only linger on. It is better to take the initiative to give way than to let the soldiers bleed and die. So there was the later abdication of Puyi.

Zai Feng in history is the representative of "retreat for progress", and those who know the times are heroes. After the Qing Dynasty peacefully withdrew from the historical stage, Yuan Shikai also gave the royal family very generous conditions, one of which was to retain the title of "Emperor". Therefore, Huahuan is worthy of the name, but it has no real power.

Give up your aristocratic status and integrate into the new society.

In terms of identity, which woman in the world can be compared with Gege? The identity of Gege is the dream of countless women, but Hua Huan doesn't like her identity. She is more willing to be an ordinary person, which has a lot to do with her growing experience.

When she was born, it was already the Republic of China. People gradually got rid of the shackles of feudal ideas, and Zai Feng was also influenced by new ideas. After abdication, Zai Feng returned home and concentrated on educating her children. Therefore, Hua Huan was strictly educated by her father when she was a child and was not spoiled, which made her more independent and stronger.

When she grows up, Hua Huan wants to get rid of her "Gege" identity, because this special identity makes her have no friends, and girls of her age are reluctant to contact her. She decided to give up her aristocratic status and integrate into a new life and society. She began to learn new knowledge and culture and became a respected people's teacher through her own efforts.

Marry a Han nationality

Hua Huan, who integrated into her new life, soon made many friends. Of course, she also gained her love in the process. Under the introduction of a friend, she met Qiao Hongzhi, a Han Chinese from a civilian background, and the two of them soon struck a spark of love.

During the Qing dynasty, there were strict rules for royal marriage: as a princess, you must marry Manchu, not Han Chinese! Hua Huan knew this, of course, but she didn't want to bear the burden of "Gege" any more, so she decided to marry Qiao Hongzhi. Unexpectedly, her family did not stop her, and her brother Puren personally attended her and Qiao Hongzhi's wedding.

After marriage, Hua Huan had her own children, and the small family was happy and harmonious, but the good times did not last long. A few years later, her husband died of illness, and Hua Huan raised three children alone. Under such living conditions, she also gave the treasures and title deeds left by her ancestors to the country, which is really admirable.

When she was living in poverty, the staff offered her living allowance many times, but all of them were rejected by Huan Huan. She said: Leave this money to those who need it more, and I can stick to it! It was really touching. She worked hard and raised three children on the meager salary she earned at school.

After Puyi was pardoned, the state arranged for Hua Fei to meet Puyi. After the brother and sister met, Hua Huan cried "Big Brother" with tears in her eyes. This is the first time in her life that she called Puyi "Big Brother". This kind name contains too many profound meanings: nostalgia for family, nostalgia for Puyi and yearning for a new society!

Hua Huan devoted himself to education all his life and won many advanced individual awards. She was happy in her later years. Although the three children are ordinary working people, they are still very filial to Hua Huan, and her family is very happy. In 2004, Hua Huan died of illness.

Throughout Hua Huan's life, it seems simple but great. He doesn't pursue noble status, lowers himself, integrates into a new life, learns new knowledge, and makes contributions to society and the motherland.
