There is an old Chinese saying that "the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked", but if you look closely, you will find that this sentence is a bit extremely biased.

Sun Dianying. In 1928, when the warlords were fighting, the miscellaneous army commander Sun Dianying was overstretched.

Born with the idea of robbing tombs, he united the court personnel of the late Qing Dynasty and the folk tomb robbers to extend his evil hand to the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty.

used 200 catties of explosives to blow up the mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty royal family, took out all the treasures inside, and made a lot of money by robbing the tomb.

His behavior made the former Qing ** highly angry, and his shamelessness can be described as the anger of people and gods.

However, such a person who deceived the world and stole his name and did all the evil deeds, he actually had a son who was admired.

Sun Dianying's son, Sun Tianyi, was born in troubled times but adhered to the right path, not only made great achievements in academic teaching, but also set an example and took the lead in guarding the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum.

So what kind of different life experiences do Sun Dianying and Sun Tianyi father and son have?

Sun Dianying. Sun Dianying is a sinner nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and a villain that everyone avoids.

He was born in troubled times, mixed in the market when he was young, greedy for money and gambling, and when he grew up, he opened a gambling game, sold opium, cheated and cheated, and earned a lot of ill-gotten gains.

Chiang Kai-shek. He befriended local forces and had an armed army of his own, which was later absorbed by Chiang Kai-shek.

1928 was an eventful autumn, at that time, the warlords were fighting, the people were not happy, and the military salary was tight.

Sun Dianying believed that the general trend of the Qing Dynasty had gone, and it was as easy as stealing from the Qing Dongling Tomb, and there would be no serious consequences.

Together with the generals in the army, he planned the tomb robbery, using military exercises to set up a cordon around the tomb and use explosives to blow up the tomb and enter it directly.

When the group entered the tomb, they were surprised and delighted, and robbed the treasures of the martyrs.

The greedy Sun Dianying was still not satisfied, he actually opened the coffin of the Empress Dowager Cixi, took her away from the coffin, snatched the treasure from her body and mouth, and after taking the treasure, they quickly left the scene.

It is worth mentioning that in the process of snatching the treasure, three officers even killed each other and died in the underground palace.

After Sun Dianying and others robbed the tomb of Cixi, they dug up the tomb of Emperor Qianlong, concocted the original method of tomb robbery, and robbed Emperor Qianlong's Yuling.

They originally planned to do something about the tomb of Emperor Kangxi, but they failed to do so due to environmental reasons.

After seven days and seven nights of excavation, Sun Dianying and his entourage returned with a full load.

A few days later, Sun Dianying's theft of the imperial tomb of the Qing Dynasty was **, which caused an uproar and the whole people were outraged for a while.

The voices accusing Sun Dianying are endless, and Sun Dianying can only spend money to eliminate the disaster in order to block the mouths of Youyou.

Donated the treasures in his hands to the local **, bribed all forces, and barely kept the head of the item.

In 1931, in the third year of the tomb robbery, Sun Dianying's son was born, and he named him Tianyi.

At that time, the impact of the tomb robbery case had not yet dissipated, the war situation was tense, and Sun Dianying had little time to spend with his family.

As the son of a tomb robber, Sun Tianyi has endured all kinds of abuse and questioning voices since he was a child, which made him painful and made him understand right and wrong and benevolence earlier than other children.

Sun Dianying and Liu Qingzhen.

Sun Tianyi's mother, Liu Qingzhen, did not favor her husband when educating her son, but used Sun Dianying as a negative teaching material to teach her son the truth that he would not be stained by the mud and that he would be clear and not demonic.

Although Sun Tianyi is Sun Dianying's son, the two are essentially two independent individuals.

In order to prove himself, Sun Tianyi washed away his shame and worked hard to be strong.

At the end of the 40s of the last century, he was admitted to the Department of Western Language and Literature of Beijing Fu Jen University, and later entered Xi'an University of Foreign Chinese to teach, devoting himself to foreign language teaching.

He is rigorous in his studies, professional ability, conscientious and meticulous, and has served as the director of academic affairs and the dean of Xi'an University of Foreign Chinese when he was teaching.

Sun Tianyi is knowledgeable in theory, good at language teaching, deeply loved by students, and has made outstanding contributions to teaching and training young teachers.

As a linguist, Sun Tianyi also has a wealth of research on history.

He said in an interview with ** that the crimes committed by his father back then were irreparable, and he knew very well in his heart how evil his father's behavior was and how bad his tomb robbery was.

He turned shame into motivation and contributed his part in the dissemination of history and the preservation of cultural relics.

Sun Tianyi knew very well that the cultural relics obtained by his father's tomb robbery belonged to ill-gotten gains.

Therefore, after the founding of New China, he donated his family's literati calligraphy and paintings and precious cultural relics to the country free of charge, and he has been atoning for his father's sins in his own way.

In 1959, Sun Tianyi and his friends arrived at the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum to study.

Standing on the Loess Plateau, looking at this magnificent building, learning about history and culture, he felt an incomparable sense of pride in his heart.

After he left the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, he couldn't calm down for a long time, and repeatedly called on all forces to repair and protect the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum with him and spread history and culture.

In 1992, he was appointed as the vice president of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum Association, and continued to contribute to the dissemination of history and culture.

He was conscientious when he served as the vice president of the ** society, not only presided over the restoration project of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum in every detail, but also used his profession to raise funds in foreign countries and spread Chinese culture to foreign friends when he went abroad to give lectures.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is natural for Sun Tianyi, who is the president of the ** association, to use the money of the ** society to go abroad to raise donations, but Sun Tianyi has never used the money of the ** society.

During his reign, he formulated strict management methods for the first meeting, and took the initiative to announce the fundraising and use of funds to the public.

Sun Dianying's theft of the imperial tomb of the Qing Dynasty is an indisputable fact, a crime, and a shame.

As his son, Sun Tianyi did not feel inferior and self-abandoning because of this shame, he used his ability to win the praise of the world and get justice that belonged to him.

In 2001, when the first phase of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum was completed, Sun Tianyi said that every time he saw Chinese sons and daughters at home and abroad lighting a stick of incense and adding a handful of soil in front of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum.

He felt very relieved, and he felt that he was engaged in a career of great merit.

Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement.

Sun Tianyi was criticized for his father's behavior, but he did not live in the shadow of his father, he lived his own style and realized his personal value.

He is an excellent linguist, a responsible teacher, a solid guardian of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, and a self-reliant and self-loving son and daughter of China.

Some people say that the reason why Sun Tianyi is so keen on cultural relics protection work is to atone for his father's sins in his own way.

But whether he is for atonement or because of the love of his heart, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that as an independent individual, as an independent person, his talent and virtue deserve to be recognized.

Life is just a few decades in the world, don't feel sorry for yourself because of the mistakes of others, don't be proud and complacent because of the gifts of others, and take responsibility for your own life, in order to live your own style.
