    At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was a saying that Qin Huai Bayan, and the first place was Liu Ruyi, who was both talented and elegant, because she had funded the Ming Dynasty rebels to fight against the Qing army, so her reputation was relatively large, and people paid more attention to her gossip not because of her national integrity. Liu Ru was born in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, because of the poverty of the family, so he was sold to the Qinglou, Chongzhen married Qian Qianyi, and then with the death of Qian Qianyi, Liu Ru also hanged herself, many people do not understand what the reason for her suicide is, and there have been several different versions among the people.

    The first theory is that people think that her suicide was forced by others, Liu Ru married Qian Qianyi is just a concubine, and the entire Qian family has pointed the finger at her after Qian Qianyi's death, because the economic power of the Qian family is in the hands of Liu Ruyi, in order to compete for the family property, it is normal to fight with each other, and it is naturally difficult for Liu Ruyi, who has lost her support, to cope with these situations, so she chose to commit suicide after dispersing her property.

    Another theory is that some people think that it is because Qian Qianyi and Liu Ru have a very deep relationship, and the Ming Dynasty is an era when Cheng Zhu Lixue is prevalent, so many times people pay more attention to integrity, and Liu Ru is likely to commit suicide in pursuit of her husband's martyrdom. But many historians do not agree with this point of view, it has been recorded that when the Qing army came to the city, Liu Ru had persuaded Qian Qianyi to die to protect the festival, but Qian Qianyi refused and agreed to enter the court as an official, on this point Liu Ru had a difference of opinion with him, so the statement that Qian Qianyi was martyred is untenable.

    No matter which way it is said, there is no way to verify that Liu Ru finally committed suicide, and the truth of the facts can only be clear to the parties concerned, and what we see is that Liu Ru was able to retain national integrity under the situation at that time, which is worth learning from many people.

    I think the reason why Liu Ru chose to hang herself was to maintain her national integrity, and on the other hand, to pursue her lifelong partner.

    Tradition holds that Liu Ru died for Qian Qianyi's martyrdom. Some people also believe that Liu Ruyi's death was to fight against the evil forces.

    Books such as "A Biography of Talented Women in the Past Dynasties of China" believe that Liu Ru was actually chased by his clan and committed suicide. However, what was the real motive for the suicide of the famous prostitute Liu Ru in the late Ming Dynasty is still a mystery with different opinions, and there is no conclusive conclusion.
