How much do you know about the family legends behind Chinese politicians?
Hello everyone, I'm Lantai. If we carefully comb through the Chinese** and congressmen in the United States, we can find that many Chinese** and congressmen are grandfathers of the Kuomintang who fled Taiwan or the United States in 1949, or the descendants of big capitalists, big landlords, and literati who left the mainland in 1949. Whether it is the Kuomintang ** or capitalists, landlords or literati, they have all lost a lot of ill-gotten wealth because of the founding of New China, which is probably why these Chinese ** and parliamentarians have forgotten their ancestors and frequently targeted China.
The family history of the first Chinese-American congressman in U.S. history.
In 1998, Wu Zhenwei became the first Chinese-American congressman in U.S. history. Wu Zhenwei's ancestral home is Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, and the Wu family made their fortune in the hands of Wu Zhenwei's great-grandfather. Wu Zhenwei's great-grandfather made his fortune by buying the "spoils" looted by the soldiers of the Hunan army;By the time Wu Zhenwei's grandfather arrived, the Wu family was already a well-known "pawnshop family" in Suzhou.
In 1949, Wu Zhenwei's father took his mother to Taiwan, and Wu Zhenwei was born in Hsinchu, Taiwan in 1955In 1961, at the age of 6, Wu Zhenwei immigrated to the United States from Hsinchu, Taiwan, with his mother.
His father had arranged for Wu Zhenwei to study medicine, but he felt that studying medicine would not be able to fulfill his ambition, so he transferred from Harvard Medical School to Yale Law School despite his family's objections, and received a J.D. from Yale University in 1982. In 1988, Wu Zhenwei began to work as a lawyer, and after 10 years of lawyer work, Wu Zhenwei accumulated a large number of contacts, so in 1998 he was elected as the first Chinese-American congressman (Democrat) in the history of the United States.
Don't look at Wu Zhenwei as Chinese, his ancestral home is still Suzhou;After Wu Zhenwei was elected, he went against China at every turn. During his term as a congressman, he actively promoted the exchange of high-level visits between Taiwan and the United States, and promoted legislative work such as separating "Taiwanese" from "Chinese" in the US census. During his 12-year congressional career, Wu Zhenwei proposed 3 Taiwan-related bills and co-signed 40 times. In 2001, he went to Taiwan to visit *** and was called "Friend of Taiwan" by Chen.
However, Wu Zhenwei announced his resignation from the House of Representatives in 2011 because he was suspected of forcibly having sex with his old friend's 18-year-old daughter, which also represents the end of Wu Zhenwei's political life, which can be regarded as retribution, of course, it also shows that his personal character is very bad.
The grandfather of the American representative was the Kuomintang.
Dai Qi, the representative of the United States appointed by Biden, and his grandfather was the Kuomintang who fled Taiwan in 1949. Although Dai Qi was born in Connecticut, USA, Dai Qi's grandfather was a Kuomintang before 1949.
In 1941, Dai Peizhi served as the secretary of the Kuomintang Yunnan Provincial Civil Affairs Department, that is, in this year, Dai Qi's father Dai Yuanheng was born in Kunming. In 1949, when the People's Liberation Army went south, Dai Peizhi chose to flee to Taiwan with his son Dai Yuanheng. Due to the fact that the Kuomintang had fled Taiwan too much at that time, and his position was limited at that time, Dai Peiyi was not arranged to be a professor in the Chinese Department of Taiwan Normal University until 1955;One teaching is 20 years.
According to relevant records, Dai Peizhi was in a hurry when he fled to Taiwan and did not bring anything, but fortunately he met his later in-laws in Taiwan, that is, Dai Qi's maternal grandfather Li Hongji. In the years when they were idle in Taiwan, the Dai family relied on Li Hongji's funding. Li Hongji is a special agent of the Central Union, and he was also the personal secretary of Xu Enzeng, the head of the Central Union's secret service, who participated in the trial and sentenced the killing of the martyr Mao ** and the first representative Chen Tanqiu.
Dai Yuanheng later chose to take his wife to study in the United States after graduating from National Taiwan University, and became an American citizen in 1977. Dai Qi was born in such a family, and her maternal grandfather was also a special agent of the Kuomintang Central Committee, so it is no wonder that she has been in trouble with China everywhere after serving as the first representative of the United States.
Xu Ruobing's grandfather was a Kuomintang lieutenant general from the sixth phase of Whampoa.
In early 2022, Biden nominated a Chinese-American woman, Ruobing Xu, to serve as the deputy secretary of engineering and research at the U.S. Department of Defense. Xu Ruobing's ancestral home is Zhejiang, and his grandfather is Xu Kangliang, a former Kuomintang lieutenant general.
Xu Kangliang was born in 1907 in Xiaofeng, Zhejiang, and was a fellow villager of Chiang Kai-shek's Zheng'er Bajing, which also ensured that although Xu Kangliang was only born in the sixth phase of Huangpu, he could also soar in the Kuomintang army. Why was Xu Kangliang able to go to the United States Aviation Academy for further study, and why was he able to become the president of the Air Force University later?It's not because of how good his business ability is, it's because he is from Zhejiang.
In 1949, Hsu Kang-liang fled to Taiwan with Chiang Kai-shek. Originally, it was not Xu Kangliang's turn to be the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Air Force, but because Chiang Kai-shek completely relied on the support of the Americans at that time, he vigorously promoted officers with a background in the United StatesXu Kangliang not only has the experience of studying in the United States, but also a native of Zhejiang, and is still the sixth phase of Huangpu, so he can serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang Air Force in the 60s of the 20th century.
However, although Xu Kangliang was loyal to Chiang Kai-shek, he still made two preparations, choosing to send his son to live in the United States, Xu Ruobing came to the United States with his parents at the age of 10, and later worked in the American Raytheon Company for many years after graduating from university, and the research and development of radar and electronic warfare sensors for American fighter F-35 was from Xu Ruobing's hands.
Chinese-American politicians have a colorful family background.
Of course, not all Chinese-American politicians are as extreme as the aforementioned people who were born in the Kuomintang and are descendants of businessmen. There are also many Chinese politicians who do not have such a strong love-hate relationship, and they often only quarrel with the Chinese side from the perspective of safeguarding the interests of the United States, but when there is no conflict of interest, they will appear to have a certain degree of friendliness and curiosity about the Chinese land where their ancestors lived.
For example, Gary Locke, the first Chinese-American governor in the history of the United States, was also willing to go to Taishan, Guangdong Province to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors when he was on vacation. Another example is the first Chinese-American female minister in the history of the United States, Elaine Chao, the first Chinese-American female mayor in the history of the United States, Chen Li Wanruo, and the Nobel Prize winner, former US Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, because their ancestors are all from intellectual families, their attitude towards China is much friendlier than those Chinese politicians who fled to Taiwan from the Kuomintang ** and the descendants of businessmen, landlords, and literati.
On this issue, different Chinese politicians have different positions and views. While defending U.S. interests, some people remain curious and friendly to their ancestral roots. This gives us a deeper understanding of the family legend of the Chinese in the United States. What are your thoughts on this issue?Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
