After the founding of New China, she was elected as the first people's representative of Xuhui District.
personal record
Great-grandfather Yan Xinhou is Li Hongzhang's adjutant. He co-founded China Commercial Bank, the first bank in China, and served as the first president in Shanghai. He also founded the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce and many government and private enterprises, and was called "the originator of Ningbo Gang". Fang Yanxiao's only son, grandfather Yanzi, is known as "versatile, with a good family background" and is famous for running money houses. Father Yan Zhiduo, the eldest grandson of Yan's parents, married the granddaughter of Liu Yong, the leader of the "Four Elephants" in Nanxun, Huzhou. Grandfather is Liu Yong's third son, Shanghai real estate businessman Liu Tiqing. First, she married Ma, a young master in Suzhou. Because she couldn't stand the derailment of Ma's life, she resolutely filed for divorce. Later, he married Li Zumin, a Li family who has been doing business in Shanghai for generations. After marriage, the husband and wife love each other for life.
Yan Xinhou, Yan's great-grandfather, was Li Hongzhang's staff. He co-founded the first bank in China, China Commercial Bank, and became the first president. He also founded the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce and many government and private enterprises, and was called "the originator of Ningbo Gang". Yan Zi, Yan's grandfather, is famous for running a money house. In addition to the well-known Yuanfengrun Bank, he also runs two banks, Yuanji and An Deyu. The Yuantonghai Guanyin, the Wuhualou Gold Store of Shanghai Chenghuang Temple and the famous Zhang Chou Village in Laojiu on Nanjing Road are all under his name.
Yan's father, Yan Zhiduo, married Liu Yong's granddaughter, the first of the "four elephants" in Nanxun, Huzhou (Nanxun has the saying that there are four elephants, eight cows and seventy-two dogs, and the money is more than one million). The first child born is Yan.
Yan was born eight months later, and her mother was very disappointed to see that her child had no hair on his head. Grandpa is very open-minded, so he named it "Ren Mei", hoping that the longer it is, the more beautiful it will be. Yan's mother heard that shaving her hair would grow, so she shaved it seven times in Yan's two years old, and the effect was not great. When she was two years old, a relative who was a pediatrician took her to England and nursed her several times. When she returned to China, her hair had fallen out.
Yan lost her mother at the age of 6 and lived with her grandmother. When she was seven or eight years old, her stepmother's aunt served as the principal of Qixiu Girls' School, where she went to school.
Yan 10 years old, graduated from university and worked in a girls' middle school with a combination of Chinese and western styles. She also transferred to another school. Chinese and Western Girls' Middle School is a famous aristocratic school. There are 90 students in their grade, of whom 8 are the most supportive. Apart from Yan, these seven are all noble families, including Zhang Hanfen, the daughter of Zhang Shouyong, the under-secretary of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of China, Huang, Tang Minzhen, the daughter of the Chinese ambassador to France, Lin Ying, a wealthy businessman in Fujian, and Shen Youfen, the granddaughter of Suzhou Dongting family. ...
After she finished the second grade, she ran away from her family. The shock of this incident to the Yan family can be imagined. Yan's father realized that all this was because the girl was studying, so he was not allowed to go to school again. Yan didn't listen, and his father was helpless, so there was a problem. If he gets over 90 points in every subject, he can go to school again. Unexpectedly, Yan graduated from the third grade exam and got the first place in the whole grade. But her father still won't let her study because she has been betrothed to someone else!
1929, Yan's sixth aunt got married and someone went to Sue's house. Ma Xiao's family runs Yi Long money houses, pawn shops, rice shops and other industries, with a good family background. People in the Ma family said that they took a fancy to Yan and wanted to marry her as their daughter-in-law. And repeatedly came to propose marriage, no matter what conditions are agreed. One is that Yan is really beautiful, and the other is that Ma's wife is seriously ill and needs "happiness" badly. Yan's father thought Ma Jiahao, so he agreed. From then on, Yan was kept at home and was not allowed to go to school.
Yan, hunger strike * * *, really didn't eat for two days. As a result, my grandmother took her period five times to "hit" Yan's family. The two sides almost quarreled. I didn't eat all day and got angry. A few days later, Yan fell ill and the doctor said it was lung disease. Her grandfather had moved to Hangzhou at that time, and hurriedly took Yan to Hangzhou to recuperate, and built a glass room on the roof to bask in the sun for her. Yan lived in Hangzhou for a year, and her condition gradually improved. She finally reached a compromise with her father-marriage is ok, but she will continue to study at school.
After marriage, Mrs Ma Xiao really recovered from her illness. But a year later, Yan became pregnant and could no longer go to school. The newlyweds also invited an English teacher to study English and socialize at home. At that time, they often went out to play with Miss Zhao Si and her brother and sister-in-law. At that time, there were only two latest and most fashionable Buick convertibles in Shanghai, one for ladies and the other for horses.
Although Ma family has been in business for many years, it is still an old-fashioned family in essence, which is very different from Yan family's advocating westernization and paying attention to industry. One is the young master of the old family, and the other is the new woman of the Westernization family. They are out of place in concepts, living habits, etc. Ma Gongzi is very handsome, but he lacks social experience. He made some bad friends in Shili, and had bad behavior in his life. Yan couldn't stand it, so she resolutely filed for divorce.
In the past, extended families were inextricably linked. In the past, it took generations for old-school families to make friends. In Yan's generation, coupled with congenial temperament, Yan and his eldest daughter became very good friends. Kong is one year younger than Yan, and they talk about everything.
Knowing that Yan's marriage was unfortunate, she was often invited to visit Kong's family, and she was also invited to visit Hong Kong by Kong's boat. On the boat, Yan learned to make French bread from a western chef, and even liked it very much. Yan called me "madam" and said, "Don't call me madam, just like the supernatural, call me mommy!" " The Sheng family (Sheng Xuanhuai family), Song family and Kong family all supported Yan's divorce and encouraged her to start her own life again.
On the eve of the Pacific War, Yan's godmother sheng left Shanghai, and the house at Xinkang Garden 15 was empty. Yan likes this painting very much, so she asked someone to paint it again. At this time, Japan's power in the concession is expanding day by day, and some Japanese officials are looking for houses in senior residential areas. Maybe Yan is too ugly. A Japanese named Yamamoto goes to see the house every day. Yan has repeatedly said that the house is not for rent, but Yamamoto still insists. He also called a traitor to take a message that Yamamoto was a big official, unmarried and married him. ...
Yan was too scared to go to Xinkang Garden again, but Yamamoto still refused to give up. She lives in her mother's house, so she sends someone to haunt her. She hid in her uncle's house, and someone followed her near her uncle's house. She hid in Zhujiajian Island (her sister-in-law married Haiyan Zhujiajian Island), and as a result, the disaster was "led" to Zhujiajian Island, causing panic among relatives and friends.
At this time, Hesheng arrived in Chongqing. Kong Lingyi wrote a letter to let her go to Chongqing and help her with all the formalities. But when it was time to leave, the Ma family did not agree that she should take her son with her. She was reluctant to part with her son and had to stay in Shanghai.
The Japanese are always pestering, and staying in Shanghai is not the way. Under the discussion of Yan's father, uncle and uncle, they thought that the only way was to let Yan get married quickly. As a result, Li Zumin of the Li family in Xiaogang, Ningbo was introduced soon. Li Zumin is the sixth Li in the fourth room. He graduated from Guanghua University with a degree in economics. He is knowledgeable and conscientious. He has never been married, and he is also the owner of Volkswagen Match Factory. When we met, both sides were satisfied. In order to prevent accidents, the wedding will be held in three months.
On the wedding day, fearing that the Japanese would make trouble, Li Zumin hired ten bodyguards, crowding round, which was also imposing. Now judging from their wedding photos, there are no groomsmen and bridesmaids, but ten bodyguards are impressively listed. After marriage, the Japanese really stopped harassing.
For the custody of the children, Yan fought a lawsuit with the Ma family for several years before liberation, and finally only got visitation rights. After the founding of New China, she sued again. This time, the child returned to her.
195 1, she not only took the lead in donating planes and cannons to resist US aggression and aid Korea, but also mobilized the families of big industrial and commercial households to donate money. Because of her excellent work, she was elected as the first people's representative of Xuhui District, Shanghai. 1956, Mr. and Mrs. Yan took the lead in joining. They are also members of the China Democratic National Construction Association, as well as Liu, Rong Yiren from the industrial and commercial circles.
After the downfall of the Gang of Four, she also set up two industries of her own, one is the Friends of Overseas Chinese Service and the other is the Star of Overseas Chinese Nursery. In the 1980s, they could go for a walk overseas. The Yan couple still don't forget to contact patriotic overseas Chinese and strive for overseas investment. When she arrived in new york, she first stayed with a relative. Two days later, she was picked up by Kong Lingyi and lived in her house for two months. Later, I visited Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si in Hawaii and General Cai Wenzhi in Washington. Song Meiling has never met anyone who came to the United States from the mainland. Although she didn't see Yan, she was given a box of clothes.
It is reported that some relatives and friends later donated tens of millions of dollars to the mainland.
At the end of the 20th century, Mr. Li Zumin, who lived with Yan for more than 50 years, died of illness. A few years later, her little daughter also died of illness. Worried about her health, the children took her to Shenzhen to live with her second son's family and gave her warm and comprehensive care. Now, there are four generations in her name, a total of 37 people, and the oldest great-grandson is seventeen years old. Every new year or birthday, she always receives blessings from all over the world. ...
