In twentieth-century Chinese history, Soong Ching-ling and Wang Ching-wei are two important figures, whose life trajectories are intertwined in the long river of history. However, their relationship is not always full of contradictions and conflicts. At a certain historical juncture, Song Qingling once made a request to *** for the pardon of Wang Jingwei's wife Chen Bijun.
That was after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the political situation at home and abroad was extremely tense. Wang Jingwei established a puppet regime in Nanjing, colluded with the Japanese invaders, and became an enemy of the Chinese people. As his wife, Chen Bijun naturally stands on the opposite side of history. In the eyes of the public, she is a symbol of sin and must be punished.
However, Song Qingling sympathized with Chen Bijun's fate. She believes that although Chen Bijun is Wang Jingwei's wife, she is also a woman and a mother. In that special period, Song Qingling felt Chen Bijun's predicament with her kindness and justice. She decided to do something for Chen Bijun.
So, Song Qingling decided to ask *** for amnesty for Chen Bijun. This decision is not an easy one to make. After all, Chen Bijun's identity is special, and the social environment at that time was very cautious about this kind of thing. But Song Qingling persevered. She vouched for her influence and credibility to make this request to ***.
After receiving this request, ponder for a moment. He understood Song Qingling's intentions and understood her position. But he also knows that this decision will cause widespread concern in society. So, he made a request: if Chen Bijun was pardoned, she must publicly express her repentance for the past and promise not to participate in any political activities again.
Song Qingling was silent for a moment after hearing this request. She knew that this requirement was not easy for Chen Bijun to do. But she also understands that this is the bottom line of ***, and it is also his respect for history and the people. So, she decided to accept this request and persuaded Chen Bijun.
Chen Bijun was shocked when he heard Song Qingling's request. She never imagined that she would have a chance to be pardoned. But she also understands that this opportunity is not easy to come by, and she must cherish it. So, after much deliberation, she decided to accept ***'s request, publicly expressed her repentance for the past, and promised not to participate in any political activities again.
