1935, the feudal evil forces used the marriage lawsuit about her to make a big fuss, spread rumors and slander, and poured buckets of dirty water on her. She couldn't stand being humiliated, leaving "people to be feared". Is Ruan's death really terrible? A terrible word set everyone free. A terrible word blames tabloid reporters and boring ordinary citizens for Ruan's death. It doesn't matter that all the parties are innocent. However, with the passage of time and the disclosure of new historical materials, especially some parties in those years, in order to seek the peace of conscience after entering old age, they began to open their memories and seal up those materials, so we can see that Ruan's death was not as terrible as we thought.
Then at this time, I think, probably everyone will be thinking, Ruan is only 25 years old, what a young life. At the age of 25, Ruan has made 29 films, becoming the best actress in the silent film era in China film history, and no one can compete with her. Why did she end her life and art with such decisive means? So who is the murderer? When we have this question, we will enter that page of history. We must go back to the 1930s, when Ruan lived, the scenes and three people in Ruan's life.
19 10, Ruan, the most famous actress in China film history, was born in Shanghai. Ruan was born in Guangdong. As his father is young, he works as a domestic helper with his mother in a big family named Zhang. Ruan spent her childhood alone in the backyard of this deep house compound. It was in this yard that Ruan met the first man in her life. This man is destined to bring her destined love, and she can't escape it. It is the appearance of this man that has laid the groundwork for Ruan's death.
The Zhang family has four young masters, and the Zhang family also has a young master named Zhang Damin. He 18 years old and looks very white. He always dresses neatly. According to what we said in Shanghai at that time, it was a little K. What was a little K? In other words, Shanghainese call a dude Xiao K, the son of a rich family, but he idles around and doesn't work. At that time, Zhang Damin got a junior college diploma in a university in Lane, and then stayed at home. At this time, Ruan grew up little by little beside her mother. Ruan's mother always thinks she is too proud to be a nanny, so she always takes care of Ruan. You should never say that you are the nanny's daughter. For what? In order not to let others know that she is a servant's daughter, because at that time others know that you are a servant's daughter, then you will be discriminated against and hold your head up. It is this inferiority complex that has laid the groundwork for Ruan's tragedy.
Then let's go back to the first man in Ruan's life. Although Zhang Damin was a little K, at that time he was a young man influenced by the May 4th new trend of thought, so he didn't discriminate against the nanny's daughter, because the May 4th new trend of thought had a sense of equality, which was one of them. Secondly, Zhang Damin was just 18 years old. He was young, rebellious and enthusiastic, so he met Ruan. Ruan was already 15 years old. Although she is a girl, she already smells like a woman.
There is a movie called Ruan Yuling, which was played by Maggie Cheung. At that time, someone asked: When you were playing Ruan, you must have learned Ruan, right? What do you think are the characteristics of Ruan? Maggie Cheung said: I think Ruan has an indescribable charm in his bones. So, as the first person in Ruan's life, Master Zhang began to attack Ruan. Because she is a nanny, because she is a nanny's daughter, life must be tight, so the young master often takes his own money to help them both. Slowly, I felt that I liked Ruan more and more, so I said, shall we get married? At that time, Ruan was unprepared, but at that time, Ruan's mother, Ruan, was called Mom by Shanghainese and Mommy by Ruan. Mommy felt very good, because a servant's daughter could marry an employer's master, which may be the pursuit of many women at that time, that is, to marry a good man, live at home and be a wife. So Ruan's mother-in-law is very much in favor of this marriage.
At this time, the eldest wife of the Zhang family, that is, the mother of the first man in Ruan's life, found out that her son had such a relationship with the nanny's daughter. She felt that it was impossible, and she was determined not to. We are a big family, how can we marry a nanny's daughter and come back to be a wife, so she will break them up.
At that time, I really wanted to combine with Ruan, so I said, OK, let's discuss it with our parents. Speaking of his mother and his first wife, the first wife's face fell and said to her son, as long as I am alive, don't say it. So there is no way, so Zhang Damin suggested, why don't we live together?
We also interviewed some people from the 1930s. At that time, in the 1930s, those old people said to me: He said that cohabitation is a very exciting word to us now, so in the 1930s, was it also a very exciting word? He said, no, because there was a very modern atmosphere in Shanghai in the 1930s, that is, modern women often lived with modern men, just like living together in Greenwich Village in the United States in the 1960s. So at that time, cohabitation was not as morally condemned and stimulated as in some years, so under such circumstances, Ruan and cohabitation. In the year of cohabitation, Ruan Cai 16 years old.
