The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in Chinese history, and due to the policy of closing the country to the outside world, China was reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. In the late Qing Dynasty, the ** was decaying, and various warlords such as Zhang Zuolin, Sun Chuanfang, Wu Peifu, Duan Qirui and other forces were ready to rise and become outstanding figures of that era. In stark contrast to these people is the controversial Sun Dianying, known for"The Great Thief of Tanglin"The fame of the people has risen. In 1889, Sun Dianying was born in an ordinary family in Henan, claiming to be a descendant of Sun Chengzong of the Ming Dynasty. Yet, he was called"Sun Mazi", is an out-and-out scoundrel ruffian. However, his fate changed drastically at a certain moment. He became a member of the National Revolutionary Army and even worked as a traitor in order to survive. All this change came from Chiang Kai-shek's National Revolutionary Army** capturing him and incorporating him into the 12th Army of the National Revolutionary Army as a commander.
In 1928, Chiang Kai-shek sent Sun Dianying to the Malanyu area of Jixian County, Hebei Province to suppress bandits. However, Sun Dianying did not take this task to heart, but was attracted by the opportunity in front of him. In Jixian County, he noticed the construction of the Qing Eastern Tomb, which was magnificent and magnificent, and he came up with the idea of robbing the tomb. Under the guise of military Xi, he drove away the tomb keepers of the Qing Eastern Tomb and restricted the activities of nearby civilians to prevent them from interfering with him"Military Xi"。Sun Dianying blew up the tomb of Cixi in the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty and stole the treasures inside, a full forty or fifty boxes, and his reputation has since spread all over the country. Because he blocked all the intersections, for a while people did not know what happened to the Qing Dongling. When Pu Yi of the Qing Dynasty learned that the Qing Dongling Tomb had been stolen, he and his widowed ministers asked Chiang Kai-shek to thoroughly investigate the tomb robbers and pursue severe punishment.
But Sun Dianying's skills were clever, he skillfully distributed the stolen treasures, and even gave a night pearl to Song Meiling in exchange for the other party's tacit approval. As a result, Chiang Kai-shek had to put the matter on hold, because many important people were tainted with Sun Dianying's treasures. Although the grave robbery was condemned, the people** benefited greatly from it, and no one continued to pursue the incident. However, what Sun Dianying could not have predicted was that his son would choose to go against him in the future. Soon after the tomb robbery, Sun Dianying ushered in a new life in his life, named Sun Tianyi. Although Sun Tianyi was deeply disgusted by his father's actions, little was known about his true identity. Sun Tianyi grew up in a relatively calm environment, and his father's bad behavior left a shadow on his soul. In 1952, Sun Tianyi graduated from Fu Jen University in Beijing and then joined the Xi'an Institute of Foreign Chinese to teach.
On campus, he rarely mentioned his father, and the pain in his heart was difficult to dissolve for a long time. Although Sun Dianying has passed away, his past still influences Sun Tianyi to some extent. However, Sun Tianyi did not choose to follow in his father's footsteps, instead, he strived to achieve success on his academic path while actively promoting traditional Chinese culture and language. Perhaps in order to make up for his father's mistakes, Sun Tianyi devoted himself to the work of protecting the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum. When he first saw the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, he was deeply affected by the long history of Chinese civilization, but he was also shocked by the dilapidated nature of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum. At that moment, Sun Tianyi made up his mind to work hard to restore and protect the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum and restore its dignity. In 2001, the restoration of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum was officially completed, and Sun Tianyi was satisfied, and he successfully protected this national treasure.
Sun Dianying once destroyed the cultural relics of the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty due to personal desires, and Sun Tianyi chose to save the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum and protect the foundation of Chinese civilization. The fates of father and son seem to be so different, but Sun Tianyi used his own efforts to make up for his father's mistakes and made outstanding contributions to the inheritance of Chinese culture and history. After years of hard work, Sun Tianyi has made remarkable achievements. Not only did he become an outstanding scholar, but he also held many important positions, including vice chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. His work on the preservation of the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor not only allowed this historical site to be preserved, but also contributed greatly to the inheritance of Chinese civilization. Sun Tianyi's story teaches us that fate does not depend entirely on the circumstances and family at birth. Although his father was a tomb robber, Sun Tianyi chose the path of integrity and used his actions to make up for his father's mistakes.
He was not only an outstanding scholar, but also a staunch guardian of culture, who played an active role in preserving and passing on Chinese civilization. In Sun Tianyi's story, we see how a man can change his destiny with perseverance and dedication, while also making outstanding contributions to the development of the country and culture. His story reminds us that everyone, regardless of origin, has the opportunity to excel in their field and leave a lasting legacy. The stark contrast between father and son provokes us to think deeply: despite the importance of family background, everyone has their own choices. The story between Sun Dianying and Sun Tianyi is full of drama and touching, but it also provides us with a profound revelation: no matter what difficulties we encounter, we all have the ability to determine our own path in life and work for a better future.
In the end, Sun Tianyi's perseverance and dedication left a precious legacy for China's cultural inheritance. This story reminds us that no matter what the past may be, every generation has a responsibility to be the guardians of culture and leave a valuable legacy for future generations. The secret of the long-term inheritance of Chinese civilization is that there are people who are willing to devote a lifetime of effort to it.
