Zhou Ying, the goddaughter of Empress Dowager Cixi, was the richest woman in the late Qing Dynasty. What's wrong with this man?

1900, Cixi fled to xi 'an. As a famous rich woman in Shaanxi, Zhou Ying donated 65438+100000 silver to Cixi. Cixi was so moved that she immediately wrote it herself? Madam protector? Not only that, she also accepted Zhou Ying as her adopted daughter. After returning to Beijing, Zhou Ying continued to donate money and materials to the Qing government. Cixi was moved again and named her? The death of Mrs. Yipin?

Zhou Ying can be respected by future generations, except for her loyalty to the country. In fact, it also stems from her care for the villagers outside the village. In his hometown, Zhou Ying is charitable, building water conservancy projects, setting up education and donating money to build Confucius Temple. Her generosity greatly awed people, so Zhou Ying gained a good reputation in the imperial court and local government. Zhou Ying was rich all her life and was the richest woman in the Qing Dynasty, but she herself, and.

1869, Zhou Ying was born in a poor business family in Shaanxi. Her family engaged her when she was a child. This person is the richest man in Jingyang County. Wu Weiwen, the owner of the Wu family, made a lot of money in the salt business. But at this time, his only son, Wu Pin, became seriously ill and sought medical treatment everywhere. Wu Weiwen came prepared? Rush to Xi? Concealed his son's illness in order to marry the Wu family.

On the wedding day, Zhou Ying discovered her husband's illness, which was terminal. Faced with this kind of deception, as an old-fashioned woman, she can only accept her fate. In the last days of her husband's life, Zhou Ying took care of her. Her actions aroused the appreciation of the Wu family. Jingyang county records that on the wedding night, her husband was seriously ill and died more than ten days ago, leaving no children. 10 days later, Zhou Ying's husband Wu Pin passed away. This year, Zhou 17 years old.

Because of the old feudal habits, Zhou Ying didn't want to remarry. A year later, my father-in-law Wu Weiwen died, and the Wu family had no descendants. If no one comes out to lead the way at this time, what awaits the Wu family must be decline and destruction. At this critical moment, I decided to play the role of the Wu family. She moved the Wu family with her wisdom and calmness and successfully took over the Wu family's business.

Since then, Zhou Ying has devoted all her energy to her career. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the whole country was poor, and Zhou Ying paid attention to honesty in doing business. She set up semicolons in major cities all over the country. Later, under her management, the Wu family became more and more interested, even involving many other fields. The Wu family's industry, in her hands, has become an unshakable billionaire.

Later, the whole country was in turmoil, and a large number of hungry people and refugees poured in from Guanzhong area. Zhou Ying ordered the granary to be opened to help the poor. Later, she also built water conservancy projects in the local area to support education. Her generosity and kindness make people admire her. Jingyang and Sanyuan counties specially recorded her kindness in history when compiling county chronicles.

1908, Zhou Ying died of illness at the age of 39, ending her legendary life. According to local records, when she died, 80,000 villagers spontaneously held a funeral for her, but Zhou Ying also had his own misfortunes. Wujiajiao, a childless daughter-in-law can't enter the ancestral temple, so she has dedicated her life to the Wu family, but she can't be buried in the Wu family cemetery.

Throughout Zhou Ying's life, she was widowed at the age of 17, and took charge at the age of 18. She spent 20 years doing business for her family, leaving behind a huge industry. It is worthy of the name to call her the richest woman in the late Qing Dynasty, but Zhou Ying also has her own misfortunes. She has no love and children all her life, and she can't enjoy the happiness of being a mother.

A few years ago, the legendary story of Zhou Ying was made into a TV series starring Sun Li. The name of the TV series is "That Year is Full of Flowers", which once again shows the magnificent life of the richest woman in the late Qing Dynasty.
