Mei Lanfang’s close relatives and friends really couldn’t bear it, so they decided to discuss and intervene to help Mei Lanfang make this important decision.
Feng Gengguang, the Prime Minister of the Bank of China, was Mei Lanfang’s backstage supporter. Mei Lanfang had no problem with Feng Gengguang and Feng Liuye throughout his life. Mr. Feng Liu said one thing, but Mei Lanfang absolutely did not dare to say two things. Not long after the Mei Zhai massacre, Yang Zhixiong, a good friend of Du Yuesheng, happened to be a guest at his home and heard with his own ears that Feng Gengguang was urging Mei Lang to give up his life and stay blessed.
What is Feng Gengguang’s reason? In a few words, very simply, he analyzed the characters of Meng Xiaodong and Fu Zhifang. He said that Meng Xiaodong was arrogant and needed people to serve her, while Fu Zhifang was easy-going and generous and she could serve others. Compared with serving others, for the sake of Mei Lang's life happiness, he might as well give up Meng Xiaodong and stay with Zhifang. His statement suppressed all the merits of the Winter Emperor listed by those who supported Meng, such as the Liyuan family, the bright future, the perfect match, and the good stories in the acting world. It was inconvenient for everyone here to say anything.
With Feng Liuye's influence on Mei Lanfang, a marriage event involving three parties and a life-long happiness was easily resolved. Meng was forced to divorce and broke up sadly, which made Mei and Meng opera fans shed tears of sympathy.
Because of this affair, around the time of Du Yuesheng’s 60th birthday grand performance, how could Shanghai’s tabloids and magazines let go of the once-in-a-lifetime piece of tidbit that Meng Xiaodong and Mei Lanfang performed at the same time? As a result, various tabloids and magazines in Shanghai renovated their tricks and did not hesitate to make alarmist claims. It was said that Meng Xiaodong and Mei Lanfang’s Nanhua Meeting was an opportunity for them to rekindle their old love and reunite. What about Mei Lan a few years earlier? Mei Lanfang had left her beard and stopped singing, while Fu Zhifang, in order to get rid of loneliness, gambled with her love, and had already lost all her life savings. Mei Lanfang was afraid of being audited by her husband. Mei Lanfang was seriously weakened and was just trying to get rid of it. Now his sweetheart has come south, and he is crying in front of his eyes, etc., etc., in short, all the public opinion in Shanghai seems to be unanimously thinking about Meng. , Mei compound and are shouting loudly, waving flags and shouting.
The good-faith tabloids and magazines spared no effort to attract the attention, making Mei Lanfang unable to argue, Fu Zhifang frightened, Yao Yulan worried, Du Yuesheng feeling unspeakable, but Meng Xiaodong was able to deal with it calmly, she She turned a blind eye to all the words related to her published in newspapers and magazines.
However, the rumors about Mei Meng's reunion became more and more popular, and the clamor became louder and louder. The more groundless and unfounded the rumors were, the more people spoke of them with certainty and seriousness. This finally made Mei Lanfang and Fu Zhifang, who had been involved in the whirlpool, as well as lovers Du Yuesheng and Meng Xiaodong, all felt extremely uncomfortable in their hearts. Therefore, Meng Xiaodong, who was as smart as ice and snow, proposed to return to Peking to take care of everything. Although Du Yuesheng said It was extremely difficult to let go, but knowing her good intentions, he couldn't bear to refuse. Sure enough, after Meng Xiaodong suddenly returned to Peking, all kinds of rumors suddenly stopped.
The wind has calmed down and the waves have calmed down. Although Du Yuesheng is a little relieved, his mood gradually deteriorates as he misses her so much. At this time, the war in North China was getting fiercer, the Communist Party was seizing key areas, and Peiping was about to be besieged. Du Yuesheng was so anxious that he couldn't sleep well, and he was worried. So he sent a letter and a special envoy, and finally rented a plane to pick up Meng Xiaodong. When Meng Xiaodong arrived in Shanghai, Du Yuesheng, who was ill, went to the airport to pick him up in person. Du Yuesheng was overjoyed and excited, and treating Meng Xiaodong from now on was like holding a phoenix in his arms. Meng Xiaodong also felt the importance of his kindness, and from then on she was determined to stay in Du Yuesheng. She devoted herself to serving Du Yuesheng just like she served her master Yu Shuyan.
