Meng Shi was a prostitute, one of Jin Guangshan's many short-term lovers, and Jin Guangyao's mother. Meng Shi was one of the most prominent prostitutes of her time, simply because she was one of the few prostitutes who knew how to read and write poems, sing, paint, play the guqin and chess. Meng Shi seems to have been an educated woman, which was rare for a prostitute of her times. After hearing rumors of this famous prostitute, Jin Guangshan visited her once and left her a pearl as a token. When Meng Shi became pregnant, she hoped her privileged lover would return to ransom her and their son from their positions.
