Chapter 108: Shameful Life

Zhang Baotong 2016.5.24

When we hear about the misfortunes of a beautiful woman, we often lament her lack of beauty. Therefore, the fate of a beautiful woman has become a saying that the fate of a beautiful woman is not good. However, if an ugly woman or an unbeautiful woman suffers misfortune and a bad fate, the term obviously cannot be used, because it refers to the misfortunes of beautiful women (mostly early death, widowhood, or bad husbands). For example, Du Siniang can sigh that she is famous, and Lin Daiyu, Ruan Lingyu and Teresa Teng can also be said to be famous. But not all the unfortunate endings of beautiful women can be described by this word. For example, Xi Shi, Yang Guifei and Chen Yuanyuan can only be scolded with red faces. Because they have historical infamy.

Women are the other half of human beings, and to say that beautiful women may occupy one out of ten, and those who are very beautiful may only be one in a hundred. There are even fewer that can leave a name for eternity and stink for thousands of years. Otherwise, the fame of the four beauties of "sinking fish and geese, closing flowers and shy moon" will overshadow all living beings in ancient and modern times.

The beauty of the red face is naturally beautiful and beautiful. Charming and pitiful. Looking back and smiling, the country is captivated. Chong Guan is a red face, and he loves the country and loves the beauty more. However, there are very few beautiful women with red faces, and they are rare stunners in the world. Therefore, if there is a beautiful woman in the people, it will be occupied by the strong. Therefore, there are famous sayings such as "since ancient times, beautiful women love heroes" and "heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass". Because the stage of history is always occupied by heroes and kings, and beauties are often accompanied by heroes, enjoying the glory of heroes, and at the same time, they are also accompanied by the destruction of heroes. Queen Ruma did her best to help Zhu Yuanzhang achieve great things in the face of difficult adversity. Yin Lihua helped Liu Xiu to be frugal and frugal inside, suppress the clan outside, and be a mother in the world. There are also Xi Shi who induced Wu Wangfu to indulge in wine and led the destruction of the Wu State, and Yang Guifei was favored by Li Longji and made him reuse traitorous ministers, causing the Anshi Rebellion. These historical stories have added a lot of legend to the life of the red face.

Shame and thinness not only happen in the court, but also often happen among the people. After selecting a concubine, the emperor included the stunning woman in the palace. The rest of the red faces were snatched away by the princely generals, the merry geniuses and the landlords' old wealth. In feudal society, women are only appendages of men, so they can only cling to power and dignitaries, and are regarded as playthings, and their fate is naturally tragic. Even if she is a woman who lives in the people, she is unwilling to be poor because of her excellent appearance and talent, and she will eventually end up miserable. Therefore, the lack of life has more social attributes and historical pathos, and is an unfair social reflection of women's lack of autonomy in marriage and love.

At present, although women and men have the same autonomy in love and marriage, the tragedy of losing face is still being staged. It's just that the relationship between the color of tragedy and the form of society has been greatly reduced, and more is derived from personal emotions. Those who are red-faced regard themselves as red-faced, and they will inevitably take care of themselves and appreciate themselves. What they yearn for is a talented and beautiful woman, a dragon and a phoenix match, a mandarin duck amphibious, and a colorful butterfly. Therefore, when they find that the reality is contrary to it, they will think that it is an injustice and trick of fate, and they will often rise up to fight. Moreover, in some impoverished areas, buying and selling marriages and high-priced marriages still exist, which can easily lead to tragedy.

A few days ago, I saw on TV a young girl in the mountains, because she was young and beautiful, and asked her parents to give it to a man in the village for 80,000 yuan. However, when the girl went to Guangzhou to work, she saw the outside world, she didn't want to stay in the poor ravine, and she didn't like the rustic man, so she insisted on getting out of the marriage, but she couldn't afford to pay the bride price of the man's family, and as a result, her eyes were gouged out by the man.

And a girl I've seen in the past, twenty-one or twelve, very good-looking, and likes to write some literary stuff or something. fell in love with a man who was doing business in the county, and the two lived together without getting married, and gave birth to a girl. However, when the man's mother saw that she had given birth to a girl, she kicked her out of the house and refused to let her see the child. Because she was not married, she could neither appeal to the court nor speak out against her parents and family, and over time she developed neuropathy and depression. Later, when he heard that the man was married to another woman, he jumped from the building and fell into a cripple.

The tragedy of love and marriage is almost the most common tragedy of disgrace. Zhou Xuan died of illness at the age of 37, and Ruan Lingyu committed suicide by taking medicine at the age of 25. They suffered the same tragedy. A woman has two major fates in her life, one is birth and the other is marriage. Birth cannot be chosen, but marriage can be autonomous. Hongyan doesn't want to lose his life, so he has to grasp love and marriage.

Hongyan is born to dream. They regard their appearance as a kind of capital, and they always want to live a glamorous life than others, think about being famous, think about making money, and think about marrying a high-ranking official or a rich man. But Hongyan is very in control of his own destiny, and wants to fly very high, but the high place is unbearable. Fame and fortune will lure them into encountering all kinds of unspoken rules. There will be many opportunities for them, but the risks will be greater. They may gain a lot, but they will also give a lot. Fate destined them to either be rich and rich, or to suffer many disasters.

It is short-lived, and the red face is fleeting. Looks as an investment won't last long. In order to make the red face last forever and the life is beautiful, we must enrich our life with wisdom and face life with a good attitude, so that the red face and thin life will no longer become a fate.

The lack of life is a microcosm of the unfortunate fate of the majority of women. The beauty of the red face is always only a part of the women's group, and the fate will naturally be closely related to the majority of women. Only when the status of the majority of women has been improved, will the red face not be thin.
