He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (105)
[There are two people I can never forget in my life. Hong Jun, the original author, loved my beauty and saved me from the fire pit. Wei Si Jing understood me and taught me the dignity of women.]
This is Shanghai,
The main character’s lines in the movie attracted the public’s attention.
The title of this film is “Sai Jinhua”, the story of a famous gisaeng in Shanghai, and the content is very dramatic.
A 15-year-old girl who had been living as a parasite caught the eye of a government official named Hong Gyun and became his concubine. When her husband became an ambassador to Germany, she left for Germany as his wife.
A mere parasite found a good husband and became successful.
If it had ended here, her life story would not have been made into a movie.
After that, Hong Gyun and Sae Geum-hwa returned to China, but Hong Gyun died of illness soon after, and Sae Geum-hwa, now widowed, became a gisaeng and wandered the streets.
Even if she was a concubine, she was once the wife of a German ambassador, so how could she fall so dramatically?
At the age of 30, it is difficult to compete with pretty and young people, and life is getting old ugly due to opium addiction.
But her life didn’t end there.
As the Boxer Rebellion broke out, the Qing Dynasty was thrown into chaos.
What’s worse is that Germans were killed by mobs during this chaos.
Wouldn’t the Western powers take advantage of this opportunity to invade China? This is where the German ambassador’s wife, Sae Geum-hwa, came into play.
She used her excellent German skills to persuade the German army not to kill civilians indiscriminately, and erected a monument to commemorate the murdered Germans.
The Chinese people who watched her performance were greatly impressed, but her limitations as a woman were clear.
Sae Geum-hwa later remarried a man named Jo Seo-chung.
However, Jo Seo-chung died soon after, and Sae Geum-hwa remarried a man named Wi Sa-gyeong, but when her third husband also died, people began to criticize Sae Geum-hwa, calling her a “woman who killed her husband.”
A life where she overcame her status as a gisaeng and achieved fame, but had no choice but to live under the shadow of men.
Her tragic life resonated with the women of Shanghai.
Shanghai is the most developed region on the continent, so naturally the women here have an enterprising mindset.
“You’re not ordinary, taking a Shanghai woman as your wife?”
In fact, there is a saying going around in Shanghai.
When you think of women in China, don’t you think of the traditional image of women being submissive to men and devoted to housework?
However, Shanghai women are not submissive to men because they have a lot on their minds and are not afraid to speak up.
How many men would take a woman like this as their wife?
If a man takes a Shanghai woman as his wife, it means he is not ordinary.
In some ways, it may be a patriarchal way of thinking, but it is also evidence that Shanghai is an open place.
What kind of inspiration did the life of the new goldsmith give to the women of Shanghai?
Zhang Zhihan, who played the lead role in this film, said this in an interview.
“I think Saegumhwa’s life was tragic.”
“Why do you think so?”
“She was a more enterprising person than anyone else. She was born a courtesan and became the wife of a high-ranking official, but she did not settle for that reality. She studied German diligently and did great things for her country. However, the world criticized her as a husband-eating woman. The same goes for women in this era. They are oppressed by the status enjoyed by men.”
Zhang Zhihan’s bold attitude shook the public opinion of 4 million Shanghai residents.
So are you saying that men are oppressing women?
What on earth is the basis for this? We must keep in mind that the new gold coin that women empathize with is a 19th century figure.
At that time, she may have been unfairly treated as a ‘man-eating woman’, but now the world is different.
If women were really being unfairly oppressed, would Zhang Zihan be able to achieve fame as an actress?
No, the story of the woman named Saegeumhwa would never have come to light.
Above all, Shanghai is a world-renowned city of education, with a 20% higher college enrollment rate for women than other regions.
The world is changing like this, so why does Jang Zihan claim to be a victim, claiming that women are oppressed by men?
A reporter who was on drugs asked Zhang Zihan a pointed question.
“Then you have no intention of becoming the wife of a capable man?”
“What do you mean?”
“There are many women whose goal is to meet a rich man and get married. You are a conscious person, so you wouldn’t live off a rich man, right?”
Zhang Zhan hesitated to answer.
I feel like I’ve shot myself in the foot, so what good will it do to me if I back out?
I raised my voice, saying that I would never live off a man.
“Women should now live an enterprising life. How long are we going to live a passive life, relying on capable men? Women should now develop their abilities. And they should not rely on men.”
The men snorted.
She’s so proud of herself that she’s afraid someone will call her a Shanghai woman, but wouldn’t she change 180 degrees if a rich man appeared in front of her?
They glared at her, saying, “Let’s see where she goes,” and the women who admired Zhang Zihan also expected her to live an enterprising life as a woman.

“Miss Jang, there’s a big event coming up soon. Are you going to attend?”
“What kind of event is it?”
“His Excellency the President of Korea will be leaving the country soon. We will have to hold a farewell party, and many stars are expected to attend.”
This is Shanghai,
Zhang Zhihan, who was resting after finishing filming a movie, heard some shocking news.
I was asked to attend the farewell party of the President of Korea.
Who is the President of South Korea? He may be the most powerful man in the world, and he is also a single man, 33 years old.
A person that any single woman can’t help but drool over,
Jang Zhan consoled his pounding heart.
‘This might be the best casting I’ve ever done.’
Being the First Lady doesn’t just come with wealth.
Is there anyone in China who doesn’t know what kind of luxury and power Mao Zedong’s First Lady, Jiang Qing, enjoys?
The First Lady of the Philippine President is also a queen of luxury no less than Zhang Qing, but the status of the men they occupy is insignificant compared to that of the President of Korea.
If things go well, she could become the first lady of Korea.
But she was never cast as the First Lady of Korea.
Although the businessmen pushed for a farewell party, the Korean president left the country in a hurry, saying that he was busy with state affairs. Jang Zhihan was heartbroken at losing the big fish right in front of him.
I’m struggling to somehow attract attention.
In the end, he took the desperate measure of going back on what he had said.
“It doesn’t seem like a bad thing to live as the wife of a respected man. Sae Geum-hwa’s first husband, Hong Gyun, was a bureaucrat who worked hard for the country, and Wi Sa-gyeong was also a great man who respected women’s human rights. Meeting a great man is also a woman’s happiness.”
“I knew this would happen!!”
“You found a rich man?!! What kind of guy is he?!! Let me see his face!!”
“Jang Zhihan must keep his word. Why are you saying this now?”
The public reaction was as expected.
You used to be so enterprising and all that stuff, but have you changed your mind?
Of course, women are socially weak beings, so it is natural for them to look for men who will protect them.
Even so, it is true that the purpose of saying such things is too obvious.
In addition, public opinion changed when a reporter exposed Zhang Zihan’s psychology.
[It has been confirmed that Jang Zhihan was invited to the farewell party of the Korean president. However, the Korean president left the country in a hurry, citing a busy national affairs, and Jang Zhihan seemed to have been very sorry about this. It also coincided with the timing of her saying that being the wife of a great man is also a woman’s happiness.]
This article also attracted enormous attention in Korea.
What on earth was that woman trying to do to the President of Korea?
If she really aimed for the position of First Lady of Korea, it would be ridiculous, and the Korean people rejected Jang Zhihan with all their might.
“How dare someone like you look down on the position of First Lady?!!”
“Both China and the Philippines are ruined because of the hen that wants to be their wife!! If they bring in such a woman as their first lady, the country will be ruined!!”
“Jang Zhihan, don’t even think about coming to Korea!! You’re like a vicious fox!!”
In Korea, the president is essentially a king.
Of course, there is great interest in who the first lady will be.
The problem is that the president is still single in his 30s.
During this period, Korean men get married at an average age of 23.8.
The president is in a position where it has long since passed that point, and if he drags it out any longer, won’t things get worse?
Korean public opinion raised its voice, saying that the position of the First Lady cannot be left vacant forever, and politicians also took the issue seriously.

“Your Majesty, please approve it.”
“yes.”
Today, I checked the report that came up from below, repeating the same routine.
As I was signing my autograph without much thought, doing what I had been doing for the past 13 years, Prime Minister Lee Beom-seok suddenly said something.
“Your Majesty, aren’t you going to get married?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“No… That’s… You can’t leave the position of First Lady vacant forever, right?”
“Hmph~ This isn’t the Joseon Dynasty. Do we need a queen?”
I farted.
If this were the Joseon Dynasty, the king’s marriage would be a national event, but not now.
What’s the problem if the President doesn’t have a First Lady?
In fact, the First Lady is a global problem right now.
Jiang Qing, the First Lady of the People’s Republic of China, is using her husband’s authority to indulge in all sorts of extravagance and violence.
They are harassing people by talking nonsense that serving oneself is serving the people.
“Speak up!! What are you talking about?!! Why are you speaking so loudly!! Speak softly!! Be careful even when you walk!! I told you to spread your arms and legs wide!! Doesn’t the sound of clothes rustling annoying?!!”
The problem is that if you make a big deal out of something so trivial, you’ll be lucky if you just throw a tantrum, but if you get on my nerves, you’ll be sent to jail.
The extravagance is so severe that there are rumors that the country is going to be ruined because of this woman. The situation is the same in the Philippines.
What citizen would dislike a woman so beautiful that she was chosen as Miss Philippines, who calls herself the First Lady and works hard and sweats with the farmers?
But as soon as she became the president’s wife, she changed.
The things she does are so low-class that it’s hard to even put into words, and it’s not for nothing that people say that the Philippines is ruined because of this woman.
Of course, I’m not the type of person who can’t control a woman, but do I really have to live while swaying those types of people?
Above all, I am a person who hates corpses and has no intention of leaving behind descendants.
‘It is a burden to the country for a dictator to leave behind descendants.’
The problem is that the evils of a dictator continue even after death.
If you leave behind even one descendant, politicians will definitely try to exploit them later.
If you were to harm them until they die, that would be the end of it. Are you going to leave your children behind to hold the country back?
The First Lady and even the children are just obstacles to me. How could a man with this kind of mindset be interested in a woman?
I made that point clear to the people.
[The shadow of a person in power can be a burden to the country. Just as Stalin used the dead Lenin politically, after I die, some ambitious person may use my fame and descendants.
I have given up my permanent rule to prevent that, and I intend to step down as scheduled after four years. I have no intention of becoming anyone’s tool even after I die.
[Please don’t mention this matter again.]
I just expressed my opinion, but the people were moved.
Well, it was a natural development, considering the behavior of the first ladies of China and the Philippines, but the marriage issue did not let go of my ankle, regardless of my will.
