Chiang Kai-shek talked about his mother many times in his life, why did he rarely talk about his father?Worthy of being a son of man!Why was Chiang Kai-shek's mother reluctant to be buried with Chiang's father after her death?
Chiang Kai-shek talked about his mother many times in his life, but rarely about his father. There are two reasons for this:
One is that his father died early, and it was his mother who raised him with hard workThe second is that he is stubborn and violent by nature, which has caused him to do many sad things that he is ashamed of his mother. Therefore, sincere condolences and filial piety, on the one hand, to compensate for the deceased mother, and at the same time, to calm his guilt.
Chiang Kai-shek's mother, Wang Caiyu, was originally named Caiyu, and later changed to Caiyu. He was born on December 17, 1864 (the 19th day of the 11th month of the lunar calendar) in Gezhu Village, Shengxian County, Zhejiang Province. Reading poetry at an early age, especially working in female red.
Jiang's mother's grandfather Wang Yuqing had three sons and two daughters, the eldest son Wang Youze, the second son Wang Youmo, and the third son Wang Youjin, all of whom were national students, but none of them were famous.
Wang Youze, who was proficient in poetry and etiquette, was born in 1820 and died in 1882. After Yao's death, Wang remarried a woman surnamed Yao and gave birth to two sons and one daughter, the eldest son Wang Xianju, the second son Wang Xianyu, and the queen Caiyu.
Wang You's business is to sell local products, his son Wang Xianju was a gambler when he was young, and his second son Wang Xianyu was found to have a nervous disease when he was a teenager, and Wang Caiyu helped his parents maintain the family.
The Wang family had a very difficult time. Wang Caiyu married Yu of Caojiatian Village, Fenghua County, and thought that he could live a good life, but his husband died in a few years, and he recited Buddhism in his mother's house and lived a widowhood.
When Wang Caiyu was 22 years old, he was introduced by Jiang's father's salt shop and Wang Caiyu's cousin Wang Xiandong, and remarried Jiang Zhaocong to fill the house for the second term, and his life became richer.
Wang Caiyu and Jiang Zhaocong have two sons and two daughters. Born in 1887, Chiang Kai-shek (Chiang Kai-shek, also known as Zhou Tai);In the third year of Yue, the eldest daughter, named Ruilian, married to Zhu Zhishan of Houzhu Village as his wife;After another 3 years, he gave birth to his second daughter, Ruiju, who died a few months after birthAfter Ruiju's death, another 3 years later, he gave birth to his second son, Ruiqing, and died when he was 3 years old.
After the death of the unmarried children of wealthy families, their parents still have to marry them through matchmaking, which is called "Yin Match". There will be a local owner of Wang Yongtai, who opened a southern goods number, has a new daughter, and the two families are right, so the Wang daughter is married to Rui Qingyin as his wife, and Wang Caiyu's family affairs are also settled.
Wang Caiyu is not only a good woman, but also taught by her father, quite literate, and can recite the "Lengyan Sutra", "Diamond Sutra" and other scriptures. Wong is good at being diligent and thrifty, and often assists his mother's family, both old and young.
In 1895, when Chiang Kai-shek was 8 years old, his father, Chiang Zhaocong, contracted the epidemic and died.
Since the death of her husband, Wang Caiyu has been living alone with her children. Four years later, Chiang Kai-shek's half-brother Chiang Kai-qing separated from his mother. Jiang Jieqing shared the family property of Yutai Salt Shop, and inherited the accounts released from outside.
Wang, his biological son Chiang Kai-shek, his biological daughter Jiang Ruilian and Jiang Ruiqing, who was less than one year old, shared three buildings in the old house, more than 30 acres of land and a piece of bamboo mountain.
After the separation, the Wang family led two sons and one daughter, and three underage children to live. Chiang Kai-shek later recalled that his mother "suffered many grievances, and sobbed and had no complaints." Even when the land was seized, he was falsely accused in the public court, and he was insulted, and "there is no righteousness in the township, and the relatives are also many bystanders."
Wang's mother and son were angry and miserable. Wang struggled in a difficult situation, and a strong will to strive for self-improvement and revitalize the family business spontaneously emerged, and she pinned all her hopes on Chiang Kai-shek in addition to chanting sutras and worshipping Buddha to relieve her troubles.
Wang did his best to teach Jiang and urged him to study hard and work hard to improve himself in order to make a career. Every time Jiang went out or went home, Wang had to check what Jiang was carrying. When you go out, you must ask where you are going. When I came back from school, I would check Jiang's homework and teach Jiang to do manual labor after class.
But Chiang Kai-shek was naughty and mischievous since he was a child, and he was an extremely difficult child to discipline. According to local customs, on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar, the Jiang clan has to go to the ancestral hall to pay homage to their ancestors, and receive sesame sugar cakes after worshipping.
On one occasion, Chiang Kai-shek insisted on receiving it first, but when he was dissuaded, he lay on the ground and rolled all over the mud, and then squeezed into the crowd in line, so frightened that others had to back down. He got the sugar cake first, and he ate it, and since then he has been nicknamed "Ruiyuan scoundrel".
Not only does he often get into fights, but he also likes to play pranks. One night, he disguised himself as the legendary hanged ghost and hid under a large willow tree, frightening a classmate from the same school to faint, and only woke up after being rescued.
Wang was a fiery and irritable woman, and when she saw her son constantly causing trouble, she was very angry, and often picked up a bamboo board and beat her. But Chiang Kai-shek still went his own way, so angry that Wang often shed tears.
After Chiang Kai-shek gained power, he recounted this experience in his childhood, and compared Wang's beating and scolding of him to "Meng's mother broke the machine". He also left a couplet he wrote on both sides of Jiang's mother's tombstone: "Woe to the virtuous, it is too late to repent of the stubbornness that day;."is ashamed of being a rebel, and hates it all his life. "To show his remorse.
Before his death, Wang told Chiang Kai-shek about his grave in a hundred years. Because the graves of Chiang Kai-shek's father and his ex-wives Xu and Sun were buried together in Taokeng Mountain, a mile north of Xikou Town, if Wang's coffin was buried with his father, Wang would have to be subordinated to Xu and Sun, which Wang did not want.
Chiang Kai-shek had proposed to his mother that his father's grave in Taokeng Mountain be relocated and shared with the Wang family alone, but the Wang family was unwilling to do so. She said to Chiang Kai-shek: "Ruiyuan, you must remember that I will not be buried with my father in the grave in the future. ”
Chiang Kai-shek listened to his mother's words and immediately said that he would do so to reassure his mother.
Chiang Kai-shek had a strong sense of feudalism, and he invited Mr. Feng Shui, who was popular in Guangdong and Jiangxi, to look for a good cemetery for the "Longtan Tiger's Den" and the prosperity of his descendants near Xikou, and finally selected his mother's tomb in the middle ridge of the white cliff fish scale.
On June 14, 1921, Jiang's mother, who had been looking forward to her son Jackie Chan all her life, died of a heart attack. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek had not yet become a "dragon", and he beat the chickens and dogs in the family all day long for the divorce of his wife Mao Fumei, and Chiang's mother was so angry that she couldn't afford to get sick.
If the cause of Chiang's mother's death was a heart attack, then Chiang Kai-shek's actions were undoubtedly the catalyst for exacerbating her condition. As he himself said: "I killed my mother to death for Mao." This is one of the reasons why Chiang Kai-shek was sad and remorseful after his mother's death.
