Zhou Ying became the most famous businesswoman in the late Qing Dynasty on her own, but why did she end up in such a tragic ending?

Because the social phenomenon that men were superior to women was very serious at that time, even though she was a famous wealthy businessman, she was still a woman. So although she is very capable, she is still not taken seriously. At first, she was asked to manage the business, because the men in Wudongyuan needed her, and she could lead the business of Wudongyuan to continue to develop. But when these people no longer need her, it is conceivable that he will not end well in the society at that time.

Because in traditional society, many people don't want women to appear in public, especially those male chauvinists. They think that women should stay at home and teach their children, but when they see someone like Zhou Ying, they will definitely turn their back on them. This is the selfishness of these men. Make full use of it when it is useful, and give up when it is useless.

Zhou Ying's husband died young, leaving no children. In ancient society, the fate of widows was mostly not very good. Because most women were dependent on their husbands at that time, many people put their father first. Zhou Ying's husband died young. Although she had a daughter, she died young. Even if Zhou Ying is rich but has no children of her own, she will not be happy in her later years, because the wealth she strives for always falls into the hands of outsiders.

Many people say that her fate is bleak because she didn't go to Wu Jiazu's grave after her death, but the fact is that she didn't want to go. Before she died, she specially invited people to see Feng Shui. Mr. Feng Shui said that she was not suitable for entering the ancestral grave of the Wu family, thinking that the Lao Wu family would have more children and grandchildren, and the business would be more prosperous, so he found another place to bury it.
