As Dickens said, this was both the most haode era and the worst of times.

Looking out the window, the luxurious western-style buildings with bright lights, the fake foreign devils in suits and leather shoes, the down-and-out hawkers selling cigarettes and pear paste candy, the rickshaw drivers, shaved heads, and shoe-shine children walking the streets and alleys...... Taking a deep breath of the historical air, Jinchina couldn't help but feel dazed.

Looking at the ten-mile ocean field of Shanghai Beach in front of him, who would have thought of the black soil of the three northeastern provinces under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders?

Even though the "128 Incident" two years ago had brought a few months of gunfire to the city, with the passage of time, the situation stabilized again, and Shanghai, as a haven in the troubled times of the Republic of China, seems to have returned to its former deformed prosperity.

Alas, no matter what, compared to those mother's relatives who lived in the three northeastern provinces occupied by the Japanese invaders, and still do not know their fate and death, she was able to have an apartment in the Shanghai Public Concession to settle down, and have a well-behaved little daughter to accompany her day and night, which is already more than enough.

-- Although as long as the full-scale war of resistance breaks out in a few years, Shanghai will no longer want to whitewash the peace.

Jin Qina, or Aixin Jueluo. Qina, taking a sip of hot tea, reached out and wiped the crumbs from her mouth, smiling self-deprecatingly.

Time flows like flowing water, quietly without a trace. Before she knew it, she had been in this era for more than a year.

-- Obviously, she is not a person from the Republic of China era, but a wisp of soul from the new China of the 21st century, a hundred years later.

Ai Xin Jueluo. Chyna, this is the name of the person she possessed in this life.

You can tell it by the name. In this life, she is a descendant of the former royal family, and in fact, she was indeed born in the family of the former Qing Junwang, and she was considered a personality when she was born. It's a pity that he was born at the wrong time - he was born in the second year of Xuantong (1910), and the Xinhai Revolution broke out in the second year, and the Manchu Dynasty, which lasted for three centuries, collapsed...... Although Yuan Shikai and his Beiyang family, who later came to power in Beijing, treated the Manchu remnants quite leniently, at least their lives were still guaranteed. But the hardcore crops are gone.

In addition, Qina's father's status in the Qing court was not high, and his connections were limited, so he waited until after the fall of the Manchu Dynasty. He felt that on the one hand, he had no income in the capital, and the prices were extremely high, and on the other hand, the city of Beijing in the early years of the Republic of China was not very stable. These "remnants of the former dynasty" have been living in fear. I'm afraid that one day after the city changes the king's banner, it will be slaughtered one by one......

So the family moved back to their hometown of Fushun in Liaoning Province, the "land of dragon prosperity" of the Manchus - the first capital of the Qing dynasty Nurhachi, Hetuala (also known as Xingjing), in Fushun - and ran some land and shili in the area.

Ai Xin Jueluo. Qina, the former Qing Duoluogege, spent a relatively quiet childhood in this ancestral home of the Manchus. Since childhood, the character is square. Elegant and ladylike, it is highly praised among the neighbors. And then. According to the early marriage customs of this era, as well as the needs of family marriage, when she was seventeen years old, she married Lu Erxuan, the only son of the Lu family in Shenyang, which was also a prominent family in Shenyang during the Republic of China. Qina's husband Lu Erxuan is also wealthy, handsome and elegant, and quite talented, and is considered by many people to be a promising young talent.

However, soon after the marriage, Lu Erxuan went abroad to study, leaving only the pregnant Qina to serve her in-laws at home. After that, Qina gave birth to a daughter, named Xingzhen, and since then has been in the Shenyang Lu Mansion alone in the empty boudoir, obediently raising young daughters, from time to time by her in-laws to pick on the stabs - the husband is always not at home, naturally unable to give birth to a son - until the invasion of the Japanese Kwantung Army, the "918" incident broke out, and had to abandon the family and flee.

In the chaos of the war, the three northeastern provinces quickly fell, and seeing that Shenyang had turned into a battlefield, Qina had no choice but to follow her father-in-law and mother-in-law, with her young daughter, and retreat into the pass with the Northeast Army of Major Marshal Zhang Xueliang. However, although the life of the family was saved, the father-in-law's official position was gone.

So, her father-in-law moved his family from Beiping to Shanghai again, hoping to find an errand with the central government through the Lu family's connections in the south in the early years - but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, and the whole family just settled in Shanghai, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law fell ill and died soon.

As a result, Qina had to stay alone in a foreign land, completely cut off contact with her mother's family in her hometown in the Northeast, and had to hold a funeral for her in-laws of the Lu family...... For a while, I was really exhausted, and I was terrified and helpless to the extreme.

Fortunately, at this time, her husband Lu Erxuan finally returned from overseas, and soon after returning to China, he was hired as an associate professor by a university in Beiping. However, just when she was going to take her daughter Xingzhen to Peking to reunite with her husband, Lu Erxuan actually wrote a letter to ask for a divorce!!

It turned out that when Lu Erxuan was studying in the United States, he met a blonde white Russian girl Natasha who was as cute as a cat......

It's a pity that this Belarusian girl is a Christian, and her family also has a bit of social status in the United States, so she can't accept the status of a concubine at all-so, as soon as the merry and talented Lu Erxuan returned to China, she couldn't wait to write a divorce paper, and she was determined to divorce China!

Therefore, the original wife Aixin Jueluo, who was widowed for several years but was finally abandoned. Qina, who couldn't accept such a blow for a while, left her only daughter in a trance, took medicine by herself to find a short time, and then was borrowed by a female time-traveler from modern times to resurrect her soul......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In fact, when the modern time-traveler borrows the corpse to resurrect the soul, he becomes the new Aixin Jueluo. After Qina, she found out that encounters like her own deity were really common in the Republic of China era. The celebrities of that year were almost all scum according to modern standards in terms of the relationship between men and women......

-- In the era of the Republic of China. Many "successful people" in the upper class have a well-matched original wife in their hometown, and then find a fashionable and fashionable new-style wife outside, which can be regarded as a relic of the polygamy system in feudal society. For example, Chiang Kai-shek, Lu Xun, Yu Dafu, Xu Zhimo, Mei Lanfang, Guo Moruo and others are all like this: first, according to the arrangement of the family. For example, family marriages and the like, extremely reluctant to marry an original wife who is regarded as a "country bun", and then escaped from the cage soon after marriage, and did not return for more than ten years or even decades, looking for "true love" in the outside world. But generally unless the wife behind is a Christian, or the new maiden family is very large, the man will really get a divorce. Otherwise. Most celebrities in the Republic of China usually marry a few more aunts in addition to their original partners...... You have to keep a "wife at home" to serve your father, don't you?

-- In the Republic of China, the consequences of traditional women marrying into old-style families. Even if the man does it, he even abandons you, for the sake of the family's face, he can only continue to live and be widowed in his husband's house! Chiang Kai-shek's two original wives lived in the Fenghua Chiang family for a lifetime!

Especially the magnificent love history of the talented Xu Zhimo. If you take a closer look. is simply the growth history of a scumbag who eats soft rice - spending ex-wife Zhang Youyi's money to let his ex-wife Zhang Youyi give birth to a son, all kinds of relationship networks rely on his ex-wife Zhang Youyi's family to pave the way, and all kinds of development opportunities are given by his ex-wife Zhang Youyi's family, and then he looks down on his ex-wife Zhang Youyi for all kinds of cold violence, all kinds of bullying, all kinds of disdain. When he finished using it, Xu Zhimo easily used a divorce case to fulfill his true love as a scumbag, and shaped himself into a "good example" for Aiqing to have the courage to fight against feudal etiquette! Become a brave person who has the courage to say "no" to thousands of years of feudalism! What a great slut!

And after Xu Zhimo died, he actually had to rely on his ex-wife Zhang Youyi to support his mistress...... This is simply a living in Qiong Yao's novel "Water and Clouds". Obviously abandoned his wife and children, and was shameless, but was praised by countless people for his pursuit of true love, the phoenix actor Mei Ruohong!

In a word. This is a naïve and radical era, and many people think that it is the liberation of human nature, but they do not know that all kinds of behaviors have crossed the moral bottom line.

Under the guise of progress and freedom, they only care about enjoying spiritual pleasure and recognizing those who are like-minded, but they forget the most basic responsibilities and obligations, morality and respect in marriage - they only care about fulfilling themselves, but they hurt the other person in the marriage.

Recalling the past experiences of this body, the new version of Aixin Jueluo. Qina couldn't help but sigh for a while.

In fact, before the crossing, she has always liked the Republic of China, although that era was chaotic and dark, but she felt that it was the turbulent torrent of that era that gave birth to countless stories of talented and beautiful women, leaving people with countless reveries and producing many wonderful stories.

But now that it is her turn to become an abandoned woman, this feeling is completely different - she is not Lu Xun's original wife Zhu Yuan, she does not have that kind of self-cultivation, and she has been widowed for Lu Xun for 40 years in her hometown in Shaoxing, fulfilling the teacher-student love between this revolutionary literati and Xu Guangping. On the contrary, after thinking clearly about what he lost because of this marriage, and what Lu Erxuan gained because of it, the lungs of this female literary youth traverser were about to explode!

- Lu Erxuan studied abroad, did not go home for several years, and never saw his daughter Xingzhen; The father-in-law of the Lu family's career has also had several ups and downs, bumps and bumps, and many times he is relying on the support and funding of Qina's mother's family; Until the death of the second elder of the Lu family, it was completely Qina who was sending her in-laws to the end...... Now this irresponsible man is talking eloquently about breaking bad habits and overthrowing feudal arranged marriages, obviously for the sake of the junior to divorce his original partner, but he has been praised in the public opinion circles, saying that he has commendable courage and is a pioneer of the times, how can he not be angry and not annoyed?

When the sedan chair entered the door to worship and get married, why didn't you say that this was a feudal arranged marriage?

When Qina supported his parents for him, why didn't he say that this was a feudal arranged marriage?

When Qina gave birth to children and took care of the family business for him, why didn't she say that this was a feudal arranged marriage?

When the Lu family obtained various connections and large sums of money from Qina's mother's family, why didn't they say that this was a feudal arranged marriage?

Now that Lu Erxuan has gained a firm foothold in Beiping, the Lu family's parents have passed away, and there are no worries, and Qina's maiden family has fallen into the puppet Manchukuo again, and there is no way to help him anymore - it is equivalent to basically squeezing out the use value of Qina. He just had to say lightly that this was a feudal arranged marriage. And then you can pick yourself clean? Let Chyna get out of the house? How can there be such a haode thing in the world?

So, the traverser possessed the love of Xin Jueluo. Chyna, just for her own benefit. started a divorce lawsuit with Lu Erxuan.

In fact, the original wives who were abandoned in the Republic of China era did not want to live better, but they were originally old-fashioned weak women, who had no ability to make a living, and most of them had no backers behind them, so they had to rely on the little charity of the man or the husband's family to get by.

You know, those men who have power. How can you allow the original partner to live better than yourself? In the past, even if they didn't want it, they often didn't allow them to remarry, but hoped that they would start from the beginning. It's best to kill yourself, so as not to get the eyes of the new beauties.

- Before, Aixin Jueluo. Qina's maiden family in the northeast, Shili, is far better than the Lu family, so Lu Erxuan may not dare to bully her. But now she was alone. Without the support of his mother's family. The stingy Associate Professor Lu Erxuan refused to even give alimony!

The husband and wife have been fighting back and forth for a long time, and they can't take care of any courtesy, righteousness and shame, and even completely tear their faces.

It's a shame that after the Lu family retreated into the Guannei, there was nothing left to shili, and they couldn't implement family law on Qina, and they didn't have the courage to assassinate them. Therefore, with the "corpse" of the urn of the Lu family's parents, Aixin Jueluo. Qina Zuihou finally got the Lu family's house in the Shanghai Public Concession under her own name. As breakup costs to end the marriage and alimony for the daughter...... At least they won't end up on the streets.

Next, in order to avoid certain troubles. She changed her name to Jinchina in Shanghai as a way to disguise her Manchu identity.

-- As everyone knows, the Republic of China was established on the ruins of the Manchu Dynasty, so from the early years of the Republic of China to the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the mood of the Chinese people has always been very high. After Japan invaded the three northeastern provinces and supported Emperor Puyi to establish the puppet state of Manchukuo, the children of the Eight Banners were regarded as the biedong team of the Japanese invaders, and their situation in many places was like a rat crossing the street, so they had to change their names and surnames to avoid discrimination.

In fact, ordinary Manchus actually did not enjoy any special treatment in the puppet Manchukuo, and in the three northeastern provinces after the fall, the Japanese were naturally the masters of the first class, and the second class were Koreans, and the Han, Manchus, and Mongols were listed as the third class of people, and the oppression was as deep as the suffering. In those mass graves and massacres, the bones of the Manchus were also piled up...... However, due to the poor flow of information and the subjective prejudice of the people, and the fact that there are indeed a bunch of Manchu scum who are playing tricks on the Japanese people, many ordinary Manchus in the Guannai have also suffered from the pond fish......

Then, she took her daughter Xingzhen and Aunt Zhang, a maid brought from the north, to live in seclusion in the Shanghai Public Concession.

It's just that what to do in the future?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At that time, it was already the autumn of the twenty-first year of the Republic of China, that is, in the 1932 of the Gregorian calendar.

Although the Kuomintang government had nominally unified the country, the Kuomintang-Communist civil war was still raging, and the warlords were also fighting each other. The encirclement and suppression and anti-encirclement and suppression war in the Ruijin base area in Jiangxi Province were in full swing, and then there was the 25,000-mile Long March of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army......

What's even more terrifying is that the Japanese have occupied the three northeastern provinces, and then they will be involved in Rehe, Inner Mongolia, and North China, and finally the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out in 1937, and then the Battle of Songhu, the fall of Shanghai, the Nanjing Massacre and a series of tragic events...... Even the Shanghai Concession, which is a "safe island," will be taken over by the Japanese after the outbreak of the Pacific War -- where is there still an inch of peace and happiness in the whole world?

Jin Qina is not the legendary all-powerful heroine, she has no golden fingers, and she has no personal space, so she can't change the general trend of history.

She is just a weak woman in troubled times, and she has a babbling little daughter to support by her side.

If you want to make yourself and your daughter live a better life, it is necessary to work hard to earn money, how can there be a good thing in this world that you don't get for nothing?

Now although she has some savings around her, she can't sit back and eat, and after thinking about it for a long time, Jinjina decided to pick up the pen again.

Before the crossing, she was a well-known online writer, and she was very good at writing and layout.

However, it is still quite difficult to think about what to write -- all kinds of progressive publications on the beach have been severely banned in recent years, and the "white terror" of the Kuomintang authorities is not just talk, and many articles related to the revolutionary struggle, the student movement, and the anti-Japanese salvation have not been hired by any publication. Even some well-known left-wing writers only dare to play a marginal role in their articles, and make a few vague mentions.

Even so, there are often hapless progressive literati who are arrested and imprisoned, even assassinated or executed.

In Jinchina's view, in the era of national crisis, a real warrior must indeed dare to face the bleak life and dripping blood. But if she wants a housewife with a child in tow, she takes the risk of using words to wake up the insensitive Chinese people...... Well, I'm still not sensitive.

Just when she was hesitating, she saw a newspaper publish a report on the first anniversary of the death of the famous new-school poet Xu Zhimo (died in a plane crash on November 19, 1931), and praised his life of grace and bold pursuit of romantic and true love...... This made Jin Qina, who was already seriously allergic to the word "true love", immediately angry, and at the same time immediately made a decision to write the stories behind those talented and beautiful women...... (To be continued......)
