On the night of October 23, 2003, 106-year-old Song Meiling died at her home in Manhattan, USA. After Song Qingling passed away, the younger generations of her family, in accordance with the will left before, placed her body in the Finncliffe Cemetery in New York, USA. As soon as this move came out, the people of all countries in the world were greatly puzzled.
As the wife of Chiang Kai-shek, the president of the Kuomintang, why didn't Soong Meiling choose to be buried in Taiwan and buried with Chiang, but buried alone in the United States. It turned out that Song Meiling had left a will for posterity before she died: Don't bury me with Chiang Kai-shek!
This matter is too strange, and the secret is not known. It wasn't until Chiang Kai-shek's personal female secretary later revealed that she learned that this incident was related to Chiang Kai-shek's life's affairs.
How many love debts did Chiang Kai-shek have in his life?Why didn't Song Meiling care about it in her early years, but she resolutely buried with him in her later years?
Click to pay attention and learn about the story of Chiang Kai-shek's life.
Chiang Kai-shek had many intimate relationships in his life, and there were as many as four formal wives alone. Some people may say, ** don't have several wives in your life, what difference does it make?In fact, the difference between the two is not a star and a half. ** Multiple wives in his life is not that the chairman is indiscriminate. It was because of the cruelty of the revolutionary war that his wives were taken away from him in different ways. For every wife, the chairman is affectionate and sincere.
Chiang Kai-shek is different, the reason why he has several wives in his life is mostly because he himself is lascivious. Chiang Kai-shek even wrote in his diary: "Lust is the most serious problem in my life!"Chiang Kai-shek had a very clear understanding of his lustful problems, but he could not correct them.
The first of Chiang's four wives, unlike the others, was one of the few people Chiang Kai-shek was not interested in. Chiang Kai-shek was born into a family of salt merchants in Fenghua, Zhejiang, and his family was quite wealthy. Chiang Kai-shek, who was carefree as a young man, took over a family affair very early under the arrangement of his family. In 1901, Chiang Kai-shek, who was only 14 years old, was forced by his mother to marry Mao Fumei, the daughter of a peasant family in a neighboring village. Although the Mao family is a farmer, they actually do some small business in ordinary times, and their family background is acceptable.
The Mao family is a very traditional feudal rural family, and the discipline of children has always followed feudal etiquette and morality. The Mao family has two sons and a daughter, and Mao Fumei is the youngest daughter in the family. Her two elder brothers, with the support of their families, have attended private schools and know some knowledge. Mao Fumei, on the other hand, was strictly controlled by her parents and did not allow her to come into contact with such affairs.
Under the feudal management of the family, Mao Fumei, who was wealthy, not only did not go to any school, but even under the persecution of her parents, she always wrapped her little feet and followed feudal moral habits. The most important thing is that when Mao Fumei married Chiang Kai-shek, she was already 19 years old, and there was a five-year age gap with Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek himself had gone to school and received a new type of education, and he was relatively repulsive to traditional feudal ideas. Because of the gap between the two in various aspects, life between the two is very cold after they get married. In fact, 14-year-old Chiang Kai-shek didn't realize what a huge "gap" existed between the two at that time, and he simply didn't like this rather old-fashioned big sister.
In order to escape this marriage, Chiang Kai-shek began to gradually do something out of the ordinary to show his dissatisfaction with this marriage. In Zhejiang, newlyweds are required to visit their parents' homes at the beginning of the year after they get married.
At the beginning of the year, the Mao family dressed up happily, put on new clothes, and waited for Chiang Kai-shek to visit. But the Mao family waited from early morning to dusk, and there was no shadow of the newlywed aunt. The Mao family thought that their uncle had encountered an accident on the road, so they hurriedly sent someone to look for it. As a result, after a lot of searching, Chiang Kai-shek's traces were finally found in the Mao family ancestral hall. When Mao Fumei's father came to his ancestral hall, Chiang Kai-shek was covered in mud and his hair was scattered. He was gathering the workers around him to decorate the ancestral hall with lanterns.
Mao's father not only did not feel relieved when he saw this scene, but was very angry in his heart. In the local tradition of Zhejiang, the ancestral hall is the most serious and solemn place of the family, and it is absolutely not only allowed to trespass without the permission of the owner.
But now Chiang Kai-shek not only broke into the ancestral hall, but also made a mess of the ancestral hall. In Mao's father's view, Chiang Kai-shek not only failed to bring him good fortune, but also tarnished the ancestors of the Mao family. Since then, the Mao family has been very displeased with this young uncle. Chiang Kai-shek was also very happy to see such a scene, so he gradually reduced his contacts with the Mao family.
But Mao Fumei's own feudal education made her stay with Chiang Kai-shek, even if Chiang Kai-shek was not friendly to her. In the process of Chiang Kai-shek's growth and study, Mao Fumei always accompanied him and took care of him wholeheartedly. But this did not save Chiang Kai-shek's heart. As Jiang Dong went to Japan to study, the connection between the two became weaker and weaker.
In 1913, Chiang Kai-shek returned to Fenghua. At that time, Mao Fumei had been waiting for Jiang for nearly 10 years, and her child Jiang Jingguo was also 3 years old. In the face of this married wife, Chiang Kai-shek not only did not make amends, but through his affection for Yao Yecheng, the concubine he brought back to his hometown, Mao Fumei's lonely "love" came to an end.
Chiang Kai-shek married in his early years, and he was at odds with his feudal wife, and finally Xuzhou chose to betray ruthlessly. In the following life, he met two women with very different identities one after another, what kind of emotional entanglement will he have between the two?
Chiang Kai-shek brought back Yao Yecheng, a concubine in Fenghua, Zhejiang, and the process of getting acquainted with him was very coincidental. Chiang Kai-shek was lustful by nature, and when he was studying in Japan, he often went to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion with Dai Jitao. At that time, the revolution was at a low ebb, and the morale of the revolutionary contingent following Dr. Sun Yat-sen was very low.
Chiang Kai-shek, in order to dispel the depression and resentment in his heart, often went to the Qinglou to seek pleasure. Yao Yecheng is a "maid" he met in the Qinglou. Yao Yecheng's family is poor and his life is miserable. When she was very young, her parents died of illness and left the world. Yao Yecheng was adopted and raised by his uncle and married to a man.
But soon after they got married, her husband became addicted to cigarettes and became addicted to opium. In order to raise funds for consumption, Yao Yecheng's husband not only stripped the family property, but also mortgaged her to a brothel.
Yao Yecheng was forced to become a "maid" in the Qinglou. Yao Yecheng was very young at that time, and his appearance was also very elegant and beautiful. When Chiang Kai-shek first met, he was attracted by this woman with a sad look in her eyes.
So Chiang Kai-shek began to be able to contact, and every time he went to Qinglou, he would definitely get together with Yao Yecheng. After going back and forth, the relationship between the two gradually became delicate. Chiang Kai-shek, a regular customer, has gradually become a man worthy of trust in Yao Yecheng's heart.
Chiang Kai-shek, as a member of the revolutionary party at that time, often carried out underground missions and was often wanted by the Qing Dynasty. During a certain arrest against him, Yao Yecheng used his identity to help Chiang Kai-shek escape smoothly and avoid arrest. Chiang Kai-shek was very grateful to her, and the love in his heart was even greater, so he stepped up his love offensive against Yao Yecheng more and more.
Chiang Kai-shek, as a veteran of the love field, was more skilled in rhetoric than political ideas. Under his fierce offensive, Yao Yecheng finally fell and promised to be a concubine for this man who already had a family. In this way, Chiang Kai-shek and Yao Yecheng came together. Chiang Kai-shek didn't mind her status as a Qinglou very much, and even openly took her back to his hometown to meet his wife.
As soon as Mao Fumei saw Yao Yecheng beside Chiang Kai-shek, she knew that her marriage with Chiang Kai-shek had come to an end. After negotiation between the two parties, they finally divorced, and Chiang Ching-kuo was raised by his father.
Yao Yecheng successfully became a concubine, but her heart was also very uneasy. As a member of the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek's status in the party gradually rose under his own scheming and became an important member of the Kuomintang. In the process, Yao Yecheng was gradually snubbed by Jiang and began to throw her aside.
Jiang soon found another "beauty", and the third woman was Chen Jieru.
Chen Jieru is the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Shanghai, not only looks like a flower, but also has a good cultural literacy and temperament. When Chiang Kai-shek first saw Chen Jieru in the home of Kuomintang veteran Zhang Jingjiang, he was attracted to this 13-year-old young girl.
Chiang Kai-shek had already snubbed his two wives at that time and was lonely, so he launched a love offensive against Chen Jieru. He asked Zhang Jingjiang to provide him with a place to fall in love, and always used the excuse to run to Zhang's house and talk to Chen Jieru.
Regarding Chiang Kai-shek's madness, Chen Jieru's mother and Zhang Jingjiang's wife were opposed. They thought that Chen Jieru was not yet an adult, and Chiang Kai-shek was simply hungry, so they obstructed it.
In the process, Chiang Kai-shek encountered the greatest pressure in his life's pursuit of love. But Chiang Kai-shek's lustful heart grinded his skin thicker than the city walls, and instead of being frustrated by obstruction, he began to courtship more frantically. Chiang Kai-shek even wrote a courtship letter for Chen Jieru, saying that without Chen Jieru, he would not even be able to continue the revolutionary cause.
In the end, Chiang Kai-shek took advantage of the death of Chen's father to actively take care of Chen Jieru when she was lonely, and finally gained Chen Jieru's heart.
Chiang Kai-shek met women of different identities, but for various reasons, they failed to become his wife on the surface. In order to obtain more political resources, Chiang Kai-shek finally chose Soong Meiling as his partner.
After Chen Jieru fell in love with Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek was indeed very good to him. Some people even believe that in Jiang's life, his favorite is Chen Jieru. For this beloved, Chiang Kai-shek can't wait to stick to her all the time. As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Chiang Kai-shek had a great revolutionary task and needed to be at the front line at all times. But in order not to be separated from Chen Jieru, Chiang Kai-shek made him his secretary and carried out simple document processing work in his own capacity.
During this period of the Northern Expedition, the two of them did live a very happy and happy life. But as Chiang Kai-shek's position within the Kuomintang grew, so did his ambitions. At that time, within the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek's status was far below Hu Hanmin and Wang Jingwei. Although Chiang Kai-shek was in charge of military power, he still could not suppress Hu and Wang. In order to dominate the party and even control China in the future, Chiang Kai-shek had to get more support. So Song Meiling of the Song family entered his eyes.
As the arm of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the Song family can give Chiang Kai-shek good support both domestically and economically. And the Song family's Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium was Chiang Kai-shek's real target.
Chiang Kai-shek once said: "If you feed these Zhejiang gourmets, China will be in my hands." "As the hegemon of China's economy at that time, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium had a huge impact on the course of the Chinese revolution. In the establishment of Chiang Kai-shek's future regime, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium contributed money and efforts to him, so that he eventually became the new warlord of China.
In order to marry Song Meiling, Chiang Kai-shek took great care of the Song family. He used all the love methods of his life. Once, he heard Song Meiling talk about her favorite French plane tree. Chiang Kai-shek immediately arranged for his subordinates to import a large number of French sycamores and plant them all over Nanjing. Relying on such means, Chiang Kai-shek quickly won the favor of Soong Meiling. However, the Song family, as a famous family, was very dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's marital status. The Song family made it clear that they wanted to marry Song Meiling. All previous relationships between men and women must be severed!
For the sake of his own future hegemony, Chiang Kai-shek ruthlessly abandoned Chen Jieru and arranged for him to study abroad. Chiang Kai-shek did such a despicable thing, but he also shifted the responsibility to the other party. In his correspondence with Zhang Jingjiang, he wrote: "It is in vain to increase the burden of the husband's work", thinking that Chen Jieru has dragged himself down.
After abandoning the burden in his eyes, Chiang Kai-shek successfully married Soong Meiling. Because of Song Meiling's special status, she and the previous wives got along with Chiang Kai-shek in a completely different way. Jiang and Song respect each other like guests, although they are husband and wife, they don't love each other much. Although the two also had their intention to go to Huangquan together during the Xi'an Incident, their lives were very ordinary in daily life, making it difficult to think that they were a loving couple.
In her middle and later years, Song Meiling was directly separated from Chiang Kai-shek and lived in her eldest sister's house all the year round. And the reason for the situation is also related to a woman. This woman is Chiang Kai-shek's personal secretary, Chen Lifu's niece - Chen Ying.
In her later years, Chen Ying revealed that she was introduced by her uncle to Chiang Kai-shek as a personal secretary in her early years. Chiang Kai-shek relied on his power and prestige to start an "office romance" with Chen Ying. No one dared to reveal this matter to Song Meiling, but in the end, it was discovered by Song Meiling. Facing Chen Ying, Song Meiling showed her superb means of "mother of the country". She made it clear to Chen Ying: "You are just a tool for Chen Lifu to ascend to the top. Although the president likes you, it is impossible for him to marry you. I have hundreds of thousands of dollars and a U.S. passport here. I don't want to see you again".
Chen Ying is also an interesting person, and the property given by Song Meiling disappeared quickly. Although this matter was properly resolved by Soong Meiling, it made her feel resentful of Chiang Kai-shek. This history of Chiang Kai-shek's romance for thrill-seeking has upset the already delicate balance between the two. Soong Meiling became increasingly estranged from Chiang Kai-shek. In her later years, Song Meiling said bluntly to the Song relatives in the United States: "After I die, don't bury me with him!."”
On October 23, 2003, Song Meiling passed away. The descendants of the Song family obeyed her will and buried her with her eldest sister Song Ailing in the New York cemetery. Chiang Kai-shek, the president of the Kuomintang, had a romantic life and countless love debts. But in the end, he could only be buried in Taiwan with his own dry bones. It's sad and lamentable!
