One of our members asked how he and Yu became connected through reincarnation. With his permission, we are sharing his reincarnation story with everyone.
In 1932, on North Sichuan Road in Hongkou, Shanghai, the backstage area of the Moon Palace Ballroom buzzed with activity as singers and dancers prepared for work. A dancer known by the stage name Jasmine and a singer named Qingman were discussing an important matter.
Jasmine was about to get married to an officer in the Nationalist Army. After the wedding, his unit would immediately be transferred to another garrison. The problem was that she had a six-month-old son. The officer was unwilling to raise the child, so Jasmine hoped Qingman would take him in.
Qingman was not one of the Moon Palace's most famous singers. She earned only 20 silver yuan a month. At the time, an elementary school teacher earned 30 silver yuan per month. Such an income in Shanghai was enough for little more than a modest living. How could she possibly afford to raise a child?
Yet Jasmine had been Qingman's closest friend and had supported her during the hardest days of her life. Without hesitation, Qingman accepted the child. She named him Yu Moli (nickname Xiao Mo) in memory of his birth mother and hired a nanny to help care for him.
At most dance halls of the era, singers worked either the afternoon or the evening shift. The tea dance ran from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., while the main evening session lasted from 9:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m. To support Xiao Mo, Qingman performed both shifts every single day.
Over time, her dedication earned the respect of her fellow performers. She also attracted several influential figures from political and business circles who regularly booked private performances with her. These bookings entitled her to a share of the venue's performance revenue, raising her monthly income to 200 to 300 silver yuan—more than enough to provide for one child.
