What is a beard?

growing a beard means growing a beard. Generally speaking, Mei Lanfang has a beard.

In the traditional culture of China, when the father died, the son should keep the beard of the upper lip and not remove it. When the mother dies, the son will leave the beard of his lower lip (chin). If you have no parents, you will have beards on your lips. The so-called "storage of ambition" is also true.

After the Japanese army occupied Shanghai, Mei Lanfang thanked the guests at Dumen and lived in seclusion. In 1942, in order to whitewash the peace, Japanese imperialism tried to invite Mei Lanfang out and led a troupe to tour Nanjing, Changchun, Tokyo and other places. Mei Lanfang declined politely on the grounds of toothache.

after that, he stopped shaving. A few days later, he grew a moustache and said to the outside world that he was "old, his voice was broken, and he had already left the stage." The Japanese North China Army sent the traitor Zhu Fuchang to "invite" Mei Lanfang to speak a few words the day before. When Mei Lanfang heard about it, he asked the doctor to give himself three shots of typhoid fever and launched a high fever, which lasted for several days.

The Japanese sent a military doctor to check, and it was found that Mei Lanfang had typhoid fever with a high fever of 42 degrees. Only then did they give up their original plan. During the eight-year Anti-Japanese War, Mei Lanfang was in adversity and refused to perform for the enemy and puppet, showing noble national integrity.

the meaning of "growing a beard to show one's will" is to grow a beard to show one's will.

Extended information:

After Mei Lanfang came to Hong Kong, she lived in seclusion and didn't want to show up. In order to kill time, besides practicing Tai Ji Chuan, playing badminton, learning English, reading newspapers and news, he devoted his main energy to painting. He likes to draw birds, Buddha statues, grass insects, fish, shrimp and dances of foreigners. After seeing these works, family members and troupe members were very happy, saying that they brought them a lot of beauty and joy.

In late December p>1941, the Japanese army invaded Hong Kong, and Mei Lanfang was miserable. She was worried that the Japanese would come to him to act. What should I do? After consulting with his wife, he decided to take a bold step: grow a beard, go on singing and dancing, and not perform for the Japanese.

He said to his friend, "Don't look at my beard, it will be useful in the future. If the Japanese are unreasonable and insist that I come out to sing, then he will have to go to jail and behead. "
