In Bound Feet and Western Dress, what interested me was that it mentioned Chang Yu-I had done fortune-telling several times. The result revealed that marrying early was good for her. Besides, fortune teller also said that her elder sister should get married after twenty five ages. Consequently, when she was fifteen years old, her mother forced her to get married with Hsu Chih-mo even though the fortune teller said that this marriage was not appropriate. Finally, she divorced with Hsu Chih-mo at twenty one ages. Furthermore, Chang Yu-I and Hsu Chih-mo was the first divorced couple in China. She complained that why her mother did not obey the fortune-telling result. Because, her elder sister married with a pretty rich man at that time and it seemed that her sister’s marriage was fairly happiness. Her mother also regretted that.
If Chang Yu-I had not married with Hsu Chih-mo, everything would have changed utterly. In addition, the fate of everyone would be totally different, inclusive of 林徽音, 梁思成, 陸小曼, etc. Nevertheless, the fortune control human or human choose the fortune is worthy to discuss.
