In the diary of Meichuan written by Juzheng, a senior figure of the United League, the progressive society and the Kuomintang, Liu Yi is called "Mianyang Jianxue". His legendary experience in the first half of his life is quite similar to Dou E in Dou E yuan and Pan Jinlian in Jin Ping Mei.

Character background

Li Shuqing was born in Mianyang, Hubei Province. Her father worked as a junior official in Hubei Province and died in the war of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After his father died, he lived with his mother Xie by sewing. After living in Mianyang for a long time, with the help of Mianyang youth who studied in the provincial capital, they were able to enter Wuhan women's vocational school. Mianyang people such as Yang Yuru and Li Zuodong often talked about the revolution in secret in her home. She also participated in it and was more willing to do some liaison work. Later, she joined the joint conference and once boasted about the revolution in Chu Feng Bao. According to Juzheng's Meichuan diary, Liu Yi's mother is a Cantonese who lives in Mianyang, Hubei Province. Liu Yi was smart, beautiful and sociable since childhood. He was deeply loved by the scholars of Mianyang new school. These scholars often go to Liu's house to have tea and chat. Liu's mother relies on the tea money left by these scholars to make a living. Liu Yi, who is good at communication, is so famous that he is broken by the director of Mianyang Education Bureau. Often lingering in Liu's family, the director of school persuading seriously hindered the romantic youth of the scholars who like to drink tea and chat here. They nicknamed Liu "Mianyang school supervisor". Liu Yi was betrothed to a Hui merchant surnamed Ding who was engaged in selling roast beef since he was a child. Ding, who didn't have Yanfu, died soon. Ding's family accused Liu Yimou of killing his husband. Liu Yi was saved from death by scholars including the son of Mianyang county magistrate and the director of Mianyang school. At the time of the magistrate's judgment, she was distributed to a rich merchant surnamed Wang at the official price of 24 yuan. The rich businessman surnamed Wang dotes on Liu Yi so much that Liu Yi is envied by his wife. The wife poisoned the bean milk, but she never thought that the bean milk would be drunk by a rich merchant surnamed Wang. Liu Yi found that the situation was not good, quickly fled to Hankou with his mother, and met a familiar Mianyang student in danger. The student took the mother and daughter to Wuchang and called together fellow students to discuss the resettlement measures. Fellow students generously supported Liu Yi to study in Zilan girls' school, a women's vocational school founded by Xiang Jin when he was a member of the Advisory Council. Among those who helped Liu Yi were Yang Yuru and Yang Shuwu, members of the Jinjin Association who were secretly planning an armed uprising. It was through them that Mr. Liu, who was then president of the association, got to know Mr. Liu. Liu Gong, formerly known as bingbiao or Xiang, was born in 1881 in dawangzhou, Dongjin Town, Xiangyang County. His father, Liu Zijing, was a military examination officer in the former Qing Dynasty. He was known as Liu Wanyi. Liu Zilin, the fourth uncle, went to the doctor of the Du branch of the Qing Dynasty, who was also the official of the Ministry of Finance in charge of the monopoly of salt. In 1902, Liu Gong went to Japan to study and studied in East Asia Tongwen Academy. In 1904, he entered the East bin school to learn military affairs. He founded the "Twentieth Century" of Song Jiaoren with Tian Tong and others. The start-up cost was 300 yuan, and all of them were donated by Liu Gong * *. In 1905, he joined the alliance and donated 5000 liang of banknotes for the publication of Min Bao. It is said that Sun Yat Sen, the Prime Minister of the United League, specially wrote an IOU signed as "late fool's nephew Sun Wen": "Uncle Zijing and aunt Tao have received five thousand taels of Huiyin. I hereby submit this receipt to you after the success of the revolution." Sun Wu, Yang Yuru and others introduced 19-year-old Liu Yi to 30-year-old Liu Gong with a beauty trick, and then Peng Chufan, who acted as a gendarme, came to the scene to coerce him, saying that if he did not hand over the money, he would report Liu Gong as a revolutionary. According to Yang Yuru's recollection, it was the early summer of 1911 when Liu Gong came to Wuhan with a huge sum of money. Because he was weak, he needed to rest. At the same time, for the convenience of living with Liu Yi, he rented the two entrance residence at No. 10, Chulou, beixiong city. In the back, there is a two-story building with a combination of Chinese and Western styles. Liu Gong and Liu Yi live upstairs, while Yang Yuru and his wife live downstairs. Yang Yuru asked Liu Yi to persuade him to take money to support the revolution. Liu said reluctantly, "if you are not filial or fraternal, the money was obtained by cheating in front of your father and brother." He counted all the documents and banknotes in public and handed them to Sun Wu. After handing over the silver note, Liu Gong was appointed as the first governor after the successful uprising by the revolutionaries.

Life of the characters

In May 1911 (the third year of Xuantong), Mr. Liu brought a large sum of money to Wuhan to preside over the work of the joint conference. Due to the lack of internal assistance, Mr. Liu married Li Shuqing at No. 10, Xiongchu building, introduced by revolutionaries Yang Yuru and Li Zuodong. Soon after, he moved to No. 1, baoshanli, the Russian concession in Hankou. At 9:00 a.m. on October 9, Liu Gong, Sun Wu, Li Chunxuan and others checked the list of Party members in the baoshanli office. Because Sun Wu accidentally ignited the gunpowder when preparing the explosive, which caused the explosion, baoshanli No. 14 of the office department was careless. When Sun Wu was injured, Duke Liu immediately ordered Li Chunxuan to send Sun Wu to Tongren Hospital of Japanese concession. He disguised himself as a Japanese and rushed back to changqingli of French concession. The Department arranged an uprising according to the plan, and asked Li Shuqing to go to Baoshan Li to explore in person and get back what he needed. Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Gang entered, he was arrested by Russia. She spent the night in the police house and was calm. The officials of the Qing Dynasty asked her if she was in collusion with the revolutionary party. She said, "I'm a student who came across the river to visit my friends. Why should I implicate the innocent?" The Russian patrolman had nothing to do with her. On October 10, Li Shuqing was escorted by the military and police in Hankou of the Qing Dynasty, and saw with his own eyes the heroic scene of Peng Chufan, Liu Fuji and Yang Hongsheng being killed in 1911. After the victory of Wuchang Uprising, Li Shuqing and other revolutionary comrades were rescued from prison. Later, she served as the chief inspector of the general supervision office and became the first female cadre of the military government. When Wuchang organized the northern expedition, Liu Gong expressed his willingness to lead the northern expedition. Li Shuqing still followed Liu Gong and served as the commander in chief of the left wing army. He arrived in Xiangyang with the headquarters of the left wing army to expand his strength and actively prepare to go north. After the north south peace talks, Liu Gong was transferred to Beijing as a senior adviser to the presidential palace of the Republic of China. Soon after, the campaign against Yuan Shikai broke out. Liu Gong moved to Shanghai, and she went with him. In June 1916, Bingchen Club published the publication of "Bingchen club", and she also managed to contact comrades. After the death of Duke Liu, Li Shuqing sojourned in Liu's old house in the North Street of Xiangyang City and was supported by his nephew Liu Faquan. In her later years, Li Shuqing was not in good health and suffered from stroke. She also talked about the past and politics and seldom communicated with others. She didn't support the leadership of the Kuomintang, and she didn't understand the leadership of the new Communist Party. She ate fast and prayed to Buddha all day long. On the 15th day of the lunar new year, she would burn incense and worship Buddha at the Hansheng temple in Xiangyang City. On the eve of new year's Eve in 1951, Li Shuqing died forever in her sleep. After Li Shuqing's death, because his family was afraid of the new government, they hastily arranged by his nephew Liu Fayi and Liu yaosan, the old housekeeper of the Liu family, to assemble a coffin with several wooden door panels, and then pulled it to an old locust tree near the riverbank in dawangzhou (now Shangzhou Village, Dongjin Town, Xiangyang Economic Development Zone) of Xiangyang with a cart for burial. The specifications were very simple, even without a tombstone There is a stand.
