In 1986, Lannie, an 80-year-old woman, returned to Shanghai. Soon after, she attended a conference to commemorate the 120th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen's birth as Sun Yat-sen's daughter-in-law. When she just got off the plane, Mrs. Deng Yingchao*** stepped forward to hold her hand and affectionately addressed her: "Hello, Mrs. Sun!".At this moment, Lennie's heart swelled with endless past, her emotions were uncontrollable, and tears welled up in her eyes. When Lan Ni was 18 years old, she married Li Dingguo, a famous family. For outsiders, this may be a great happiness, but for Lannie, the marriage is essentially just a "money transaction". She and Li Dingguo have no common language, but despite this, she still gave birth to 3 children for him. As the rumors spread, Lannie gradually felt more stressed.
If she leaves the Li family now, she will no longer have money and status;If she chooses to be stable, she will become a "strange woman" again. In 1933, 23-year-old Lan Ni resolutely gave up everything in the Li family and bravely divorced. Since then, she has frequently appeared in social situations, and has won the favor of many elites in the workplace with her elegant temperament, such as Zhang Xueliang. When he first met Lan Ni, the young marshal who had been in the "Fengyue Field" for a long time showed a rare look of shock, and took the initiative to offer her courtesy, and even asked his mother to hand over a check of 50,000 yuan to express his pursuit. However, Lan Ni was unmoved, she rejected Zhang Xueliang's "Spring Dream". The reason why she was so determined was because she already had feelings for Sun Ke at that time. Lan Ni met Sun Yat-sen's son Sun Ke at a ball. The two fell in love at first sight, and Lannie realized that the man in front of her was what she wanted.
However, Sun Ke already had his original wife, and in desperation, he kept Lan Ni in the way of "being a secretary" and gave her the title of "second lady". As soon as this title came out, the society was a sensation, and countless people ridiculed Sun Ke for "only loving beauties, not loving the country". Lan Ni withstood the pressure from all sides and held a 4-table wedding banquet with Sun Ke. It is said that at the banquet, Sun Ke once laughed at himself: "My move is to know the law and break the law, and the crime should be increased by one degree." After an informal wedding with Lanni, Sunko and Lanni began to live a sweet life. It is said that in order to express his loyalty to Lan Ni, Sun Ke once wrote a statement in his own handwriting: My Sun Ke only has the two wives of the original wife, Chen and Lan, and there is no third person. Sun Ke XX.
Five, six, twenty-six.
Lannie was overjoyed when she received the letter, but she didn't know that ancient stories often ended with "the new comes, the old goes", and Sun Ke's ex-lover Yan Aijuan is a vivid example of this. In August 1938, Lannie gave birth to her daughter Sun Suifen. Due to the impact of the war, she entrusted her daughter to the care of her family, and she went to Chongqing with Sun Ke. In the spring of 1940, Sun Ke's eldest wife, Chen Shuying, came to Chongqing, and Lan Ni decided to leave the city to avoid embarrassment and prepare to return to take care of her daughter and family. At that time, Shanghai was controlled by the Wang puppet regime, and Lan Ni resolutely sold the villa given to her by Sun Ke and began to contract projects in partnership with others, maneuvering in high society. With the help of Shanghai real estate tycoon Yang Run, she quickly settled on a plot of land on the edge of the French Concession, believing that it would soon become a prosperous area with great potential.
So she used her savings to build seven small western-style buildings on the land. Despite the bumpy road to business, Lannie has generally gone quite smoothly. At the beginning of 1948, the election of the deputy of the national ** came into focus. Sun Ke originally planned to continue to serve as the more powerful Legislative Premier, but Chiang Kai-shek, in order to defeat Li Zongren, invited Sun Ke to participate in the election of deputy **. In order to get Sun Ke elected, Chiang Kai-shek personally canvassed for him and supported him, using all means to force his opponent to withdraw from the election. After Sun Ke decided to run for the vice **, Lan Ni also began to use her communication skills and canvassed for Sun Ke everywhere. She has a deep friendship with Long Yun, and with this relationship, she successfully won over the Yunnan family, and also hosted a banquet for Lu Han and others at home. At that time, Lan Ni, like everyone else, believed that with the support of Chiang Kai-shek, Sun Ke's election would inevitably be won.
However, at a critical moment, the "Lanny Incident" occurred during the election campaign. When more than 2,000 delegates arrived at the venue on the day of the vice-election, they found that the day's "National Salvation" was placed on every seat, and the front page of the newspaper carried the scandal of Sun Ke and Lanni. The article disclosed that in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Lan Ni and Sun Ke had close contacts with Gongbo and Zhou Fohai. Shortly after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the ** Trust Bureau confiscated a batch of pigments imported from Germany. However, Sun Ke approached the director of the ** Trust Bureau and demanded the return of these pigments. This report seems to have affected the outcome of the vice-** race, which led to Sun Ke's defeat to Li Zongren in the first round. According to the provisions of the election law, Li Zongren, Sun Ke and Cheng Qian will run a second round of elections. The deputies of the Guangdong National Congress were dissatisfied with this and blamed the "National Salvation**" after the meeting was dismissed, and went to the newspaper office to vent their anger.
The newspaper revisited the old story, revealing that Lan Ni was once a courtesan and became Sun Ke**. After four rounds of elections, Li Zongren finally defeated Sun Ke and was officially elected as the first deputy of the people. However, during this time, instead of defending Lanni, Sun Ke tried his best to distance himself from her, angering the stubborn Lanni. After the campaign, Sunko's campaign staff placed the blame on Lannie, leading the two to end their 13-year relationship. In April 1949, Lannie went to Hong Kong to settle down with her daughter. In 1962, they emigrated to the United States and obtained American citizenship. In 1982, Lan Ni and her daughter were invited to return to their homeland and were warmly received by Deng Yingchao. On National Day, Lanni and her daughter participated in the celebration, showing a peaceful mind, sincerely hoping for the prosperity of the motherland, and the past has disappeared.
In 1986, Lan Ni was invited by Deng Yingchao to come to China again to participate in the commemorative activities. Deng Yingchao invited her to stay in China, and Lanni was not stubborn, living in Shanghai in her later years, and had a deep affection for the city because it was the place where she proved herself. In the early 90s, New China gifted her a house in the Rose Villa, allowing her to re-live in her own house. Lanni lives in a secluded house and rarely goes out, but more often walks in the garden and cultivates flowers and plants to express her love for life. On September 28, 1996, at the age of 85, Lan Ni died in Shanghai. Her posthumous affairs were handled by her daughter Sun Suifen, and there was almost no ** hype at that time, and only an obituary was published in "Liberation**".
Lannie had proposed to live in San Francisco for a long time, and that her body should be sent to Oakland, San Francisco, for burial, and she had already purchased a cemetery. On October 4, after Lanni's memorial service, Sun Suifen took her body to San Francisco, USA. When the hearse arrived in San Francisco, the scene was full of horns and gongs and drums, which was exactly what Lannie had hoped for.
