There were two very strange women in China history. One was Wenxiu. She voluntarily divorced and divorced her husband, Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty. There is also a woman who also divorced her husband-Qi Jiguang, a national hero and famous anti-Japanese general. This woman is "Wang's". Why did she divorce her husband, a national hero who has been famous for centuries?

Speaking of Qi Jiguang's marriage, it is very thought-provoking. He was engaged at the age of 13, and at the age of 21, he married Wang, the daughter of the General of Nanxi King, Wanhu. This Wang is no ordinary woman. She is extremely virtuous and takes good care of her husband in every detail. At that time, Qi Jiguang had not yet made the mark and his family was very poor. Once, she cooked fish for dinner and left the middle part of the fish with the fattest fish to her husband Qi Jiguang. She only ate the fish head and tail. Qi Jiguang later learned about this situation and held his wife in his arms, moved to tears.

Wang is not only virtuous, but also courageous and resourceful. Qi Jiguang led his troops to fight against the Japanese pirates. During the Battle of Taizhou, Wang and Qi Jiajun's family members temporarily lived in Xinhe City, with few defenders in the city. At this time, a large number of Japanese troops suddenly made a long-range raid and surrounded the small Xinhe City. When the situation was critical, Wang persuaded the officers and soldiers guarding the city to mobilize all the women and children in the city to wear the military uniforms of the Qi Family Army and list them openly on the city. The Japanese army outside the city saw that the city wall was densely packed with China soldiers, and thought that there was the main force of the Qi Family Army in the city, so they immediately retreated in fear. Wang staged a real-life version of the "Empty City Plan" and forcibly scared off the vicious Japanese.

However, Wang's marriage gradually died as Qi Jiguang became a national hero. Wang is infertile and cannot bear descendants for Qi Jiguang. So, when Qi Jiguang was 36 years old, he took a concubine, Shen. Wang was extremely sad, but reluctantly accepted this fact. Unexpectedly, Qi Jiguang did not know how to restrain himself. Less than a year after taking his first concubine, he took another concubine, Chen. At the age of 48, he took a third concubine, Yang. This greatly hurt Wang.

In his later years, Wang finally couldn't bear the unfaithful marriage, so he "collected everything he had and returned to the kings", that is, he took the initiative to divorce Qi Jiguang and returned to his mother's family.

Wang, unwilling to sink into a dead marriage, chose to divorce and break up. We cannot help but admire Wang's art and courage in life. She is not a fierce woman. She let her husband eat the fish body and eat the fish head herself. It is rumored to be a beautiful story in history. She is not a weak woman. She can stage an empty city plan and scare off the Japanese army. She is not a little woman. She follows her husband to lead the army and travels across the country. Nanping the Japanese pirates and resisting Mongolia in the north. How can a little woman endure it?

Wang is virtuous, resolute, intelligent, and has her own self-esteem. Amid her husband's ruthlessness and absurdity, she finally divorced the husband of a national hero and returned home after divorce, which shows that she truly "dares to hate and love"!

There is a Ming song,"Double Diao·Yaner Falling to Win the Order", which reflects the courage to love and hate women in the Ming Dynasty. The song begins, from the perspective of a wife, describing the sweet life of a young couple. However, the good times did not last long. The husband had an affair and his heart was distracted, leaving his wife alone in the empty room. However, the man was reveling outside. The wife suffered great humiliation and couldn't help but be angry. This woman did not choose to remain silent, endure silently, let alone accept it, but in her own way. Maintain the dignity and rights of your wife.

This Ming song is like Wang's portrayal. She loves it so much that she hates it so much. Wang devoted her youth, wisdom, love... everything to Qi Jiguang. However, her husband's betrayal and ruthlessness made her worse than death. Her hair turned white and her body became weak, but she still had to maintain her dignity and rights. We can imagine-an old lady in her twilight who was devastated by marriage, her beauty faded, and she was plagued by illness. She struggled to break out of her dead marriage and did not hesitate to divorce to protect her dignity. Back then, she had to protect her dignity in the face of thousands of Japanese people; now, in the face of Qi Jiguang, a national hero who will be remembered for centuries, she still has so self-respect and self-respect!

Qi Jiguang, to this day, is still engraved in the annals of loyalty through the ages. Five hundred years have passed, and he is still a national hero!

As for Wang, she also left four words to history-dare to love and hate...
