The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

Zhou Xuan silently followed Zhou Hexuan downstairs. Before getting in the car, she suddenly turned around and looked back at the apartment.

To be honest, Zhou Xuan's life has not been good these past few years. Although her adoptive mother also loves her, she always obeys her adoptive father at critical moments. Even when her adoptive father wants to sell her to be a prostitute, her adoptive mother does not dare to help and say a few good words.

In this home, Zhou Xuan received little family affection and could not feel the warmth of family.

However, the previous adoptive mother had a deeper relationship with Zhou Xuan. She even thought that she was her biological mother. It wasn't until her adoptive mother remarried and gave her away that Zhou Xuan realized that she had just bought her.

"Xuanzi, get in the car." Ruan Lingyu smiled and waved.

Zhou Xuan sat in the car and said nothing. She felt insecure now and felt scary to everyone.

As a time traveler, Zhou Hexuan knows a lot of information about Zhou Xuan. This is a woman who suffered a more tragic fate than Ruan Lingyu, and in the final analysis, she was harmed by opium.

Zhou Xuan was originally born into a scholarly family. She was not a daughter of a wealthy family, but she was at least considered the daughter of a wealthy family.

The first time she was sold was because her uncle smoked opium and secretly abducted her. It turned out that her adoptive father Wang Rongchun was also an opium addict and got involved with the proprietress of the opium shop. Her adoptive mother had no choice but to give her away when she remarried. Who knew that the second adoptive father was an opium addict and was even poorer than the first adoptive father - the previous adoptive father had no shortage of money when he was smoking opium and had never had any plans for Zhou Xuan.

Three opium ghosts ruined the first half of Zhou Xuan's life.

Zhou Xuan also lived a very rough life in the second half of her life. Her first love and marriage partner was named Yan Hua. When Zhou Xuan faced the terrible situation of being sold into prostitution by her adoptive father, it was Yan Hua who helped her and recommended her to join a new song and dance club. The two gradually fell in love and got married.

However, Yan Hua was a suspicious male chauvinist with a monthly income of 450 yuan, which was considered a high-income intellectual in the Republic of China. But when Zhou Xuan was at her most popular, she could earn more than 2,000 yuan per movie, plus royalties from recordings and advertising fees. She crushed her husband in terms of making money.

There is serious income inequality between husband and wife, especially when the wife earns far more than the husband. It will be difficult for the couple to avoid problems in the long run.

In addition, Zhou Xuan often left home for work and had contact with many men, which made Yan Hua feel even more uncomfortable. He even asked Zhou Xuan to stay at home and be a full-time housewife. Due to emotional misunderstandings and the fueling of the media and newspapers, the two finally chose to divorce.

In fact, they were deeply in love with each other until their divorce.

Next, Zhou Xuan experienced three more relationships:

When she met a liar for the first time, she was not only defrauded of her love and property, but was also abandoned after becoming pregnant, which directly caused Zhou Xuan to suffer from mental illness;

The second time he encountered a pervert, when Zhou Xuan was in a state of mental confusion, he was seduced (Harmony) into having an adulterous child, and all his property was taken away. That man was sentenced to three years in prison. After he was released from prison, he seduced (Harmony) and raped a female junior high school student.

The third time was true love, and it even progressed to the stage of engagement. However, that man was a famous actor and was surrounded by various gossips and scandals, so Zhou Xuan could only choose to break up peacefully.

In his later years, Zhou Xuan suffered from severe mental disorder. He cried every day, refused to eat or drink, often screamed and sneered, and frequently beat people. He spent his whole life in pain and desolation.

If we compare Zhou Xuan and Ruan Lingyu, both of them are very popular stars in China, and both of them have suffered from family and love torture. The only difference is that Ruan Lingyu has a cowardly personality and chooses to accept the situation and eventually commits suicide; while Zhou Xuan has a stronger personality and insists on gritting her teeth every time. As a result, she becomes mentally disturbed due to repeated blows.

Since ancient times, beauties have had a bad life!

Zhou Hexuan asked: "Xuanzi, is your contract still with the Xinhua Song and Dance Club?"

"The contract has been terminated." Zhou Xuan replied.

Zhou Xuan is the pillar of the Xinhua Song and Dance Club. The Song and Dance Club was willing to let him go, but they must have been coerced and induced by Sassoon.

Zhou Hexuan asked again: "Where is the film company?"

Zhou Xuan said: "I signed a short-term contract with Tianyi Company, signing one film and filming another."

Zhou Hexuan handed her the 20-year employment contract and said, "Take it yourself. Whether you tear it up, burn it, or keep it as a souvenir, it's up to you. You will be free from now on."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou. I will repay you in the future." Zhou Xuan directly tore the bond of sale into pieces.

Zhou Hexuan asked: "What are your plans for the future?"

"I have a good relationship with brother Yan Hua and sister Yan Fei. I can stay with them and rent a house by myself when I make money." Although Zhou Xuan suffered continuous blows, her thinking was very clear and she had a clear understanding of her own situation. Life also has a plan, which is much better than Ruan Lingyu.

Yan Hua is Zhou Xuan's first love and first husband. He is 10 years older than Zhou Xuan. At this time, the two have not yet begun to fall in love, and the relationship is somewhat similar to that of an elder brother and a younger sister. Yan Hua is the "male star" of the Xinhua Song and Dance Club. He can perform, compose, play the piano, speaks Mandarin well, and is handsome. He is known as the "Peach Blossom Prince".

As for Yan Fei, she is Yan Hua's sister and also works in the Xinhua Song and Dance Club.

Zhou Hexuan thought of the failed marriage between Zhou Xuan and Yan Hua and said, "I have a place to live there, so don't rely on others anymore."

Zhou Xuan thought to herself: Living in your house is not like living under someone else's roof.

Although she thought so in her heart, Zhou Xuan still agreed: "I can make money, and I will pay your rent in the future."

"Okay, I will keep accounts for you every month." Zhou Hexuan liked Zhou Xuan's character very much.

Zhou Xuan added: "And the 1,000 yuan you gave my mother, I will pay it back in the future."

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "How about this? You already owe me so much money anyway, so why don't I lend you some more money to pay for your tuition. You are only 15 years old, which is the age when you should study. You can make money while studying in the future."

When she heard the word "study", Zhou Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she felt moved in her heart. She is a smart girl. Of course she knows that Zhou Hexuan wants to help her, and she also lends money to preserve her dignity.

"Mr. Zhou, thank you, I...I will try my best to repay you!" Zhou Xuan promised loudly.

Ruan Lingyu smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, both of you are named Zhou, why don't you accept Xuanzi as your sister?"

"Okay." Zhou Hexuan said.

With Zhou Hexuan's current fame and status, there are countless women vying to be his sister, but Zhou Xuan said with low self-esteem: "I don't deserve it."

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "We are all human beings and have equal status in the law. How can we be worthy or unworthy? It's settled, Xuanzi will be my sister from now on."

Ruan Lingyu urged: "Xuanzi, why don't you call me brother?"

"No, no." Zhou Xuan shook her head repeatedly.

"It's up to you." Zhou Hexuan didn't force it.

Ruan Lingyu leaned into Zhou Xuan's ear and whispered, not knowing what they were talking about. A few minutes later, Zhou Xuan bit her lip and said hesitantly: "Brother...brother, I promise to be obedient from now on, and I promise to study hard and make money!"
