Behind every successful man there is an amazing woman, as one of the most successful men in China, Chiang Kai-shek has appeared behind n more than one woman, but there is a mysterious woman who was not known to the world until Chiang Kai-shek retired to Taiwan. After Chiang Kai-shek lived in Taiwan, he still thought about it, begged the mainland high-level to take care of it, and was finally sent to Taiwan by the prime minister himself, who is the woman who even Soong Meiling respects her? What kind of untold story does she have with Chiang Kai-shek?
There are four joys and three sorrows in life, Chiang Kai-shek, who was born in 1887 in a salt merchant family in Xikou, Fenghua, Zhejiang, even if he lived a life of fine clothes and food, food and clothing can at least be guaranteed. Who knows, in 1895, Chiang Kai-shek and his mother Wang Caiyu encountered a great tragedy in their lives at the same time. Chiang Kai-shek's father Chiang Zhaocong died suddenly of the epidemic, Chiang Kai-shek, who was only 8 years old, lost his father, and Chiang Kai-shek's 32-year-old mother Wang Caiyu lost her husband. Wang Caiyu is the second wife of Chiang Kai-shek's father Chiang Zhaocong, and the children born to his ex-wife are all adults, and after his father's death, he naturally separated the family and left only a small amount of property to Chiang Kai-shek's mother and son. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek had a younger sister and younger brother under him, and his mother had to take care of the store and young children alone, so she really had no energy to take care of Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek was very smart and naughty when he was a child, and was called "Ruiyuan scoundrel" by the people of Xikou Town, Chiang Kai-shek's mother Wang Caiyu was a very strong, and far-sighted woman, in order to let her son change his heart and study hard, and get ahead in the future, she heard that there was a famous teacher in her mother's private school, so she sent her son to her mother's house to study, this time, Chiang Kai-shek met the woman who made him think about his life - Jiang Miaoyue, who was both a family aunt and an aunt.
Chiang Kai-shek, who was unusually stubborn when he was young, was very unpopular with his neighbors, including many relatives of his mother's family. But Jiang Miaoyue was unusual, and never disliked Chiang Kai-shek's stubbornness, because her mother often didn't take care of Chiang Kai-shek, so Jiang Miaoyue called Chiang Kai-shek to her home from time to time, cooked him a good meal, and often helped Chiang Kai-shek, who was not by her mother's side, sew and wash, and gave Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away from her mother, mother-like warmth and care. And Chiang Kai-shek's favorite food is a bowl of homely hot porridge cooked by this woman.
In film and television dramas, there are often heroes and heroes from poor backgrounds, and after becoming famous, what I remember the most is that when he was in trouble, a bowl of hot porridge or a steamed bun was given by a kind-hearted person, which can be regarded as a generation of heroes Chiang Kai-shek, of course, he will not forget the bowl of hot porridge that his aunt brought to him in the most difficult days of his childhood, it was this bowl of hot porridge that warmed Chiang Kai-shek's childhood, and also warmed his entire life, making him miss it for the rest of his life.
According to relevant historical records, Chiang Kai-shek, who was smart but stubborn when he was young, was not in his studies, so his studies were not very good, although he was sent to the famous teacher training class by his mother Wang Caiyu early, and read the subset of scripture and history, but he did not finish the private school courses that others learned at a few years until he was a teenager. I don't know if my mother was far-sighted, or Chiang Kai-shek was indeed not the material for reading ancient Chinese sages, in 1903, my mother transferred Chiang Kai-shek to the Fenglu School in Fenghua, Zhejiang, and then transferred to the Ningbo Jianjin School, where Chiang Kai-shek came into contact with new ideas, new knowledge and new people, and Chiang Kai-shek, who had been confined to the old model, suddenly had a new direction in his life.
In 1906, Chiang Kai-shek cut off his braids and threatened to cross the ocean to study in Japan. This rebellious behavior was reprimanded and hindered by almost all relatives and neighbors, except for two women who supported him. One is Chiang Kai-shek's mother Wang Caiyu, and the other is Chiang Kai-shek's aunt Jiang Miaoyue.
And this kind of support is not limited to verbal support, when Chiang Kai-shek's mother could not meet the expenses needed for her son's study abroad, Jiang Miaoyue did not hesitate to help, and persuaded her husband to help Chiang Kai-shek borrow money from others, so that Chiang Kai-shek could make up enough money for studying abroad.
It can be said that Chiang Kai-shek's life did not really begin until this time, and from here, he walked step by step to one peak after another.
In the same year, among the people who went to Japan to study with Chiang Kai-shek, there was a person named Chen Qimei, because of the like-mindedness, Chiang Kai-shek soon worshiped Chen Qimei and Huang Yin, and the three became brothers with different surnames. In Chinese history, Chen Qimei was less famous because she died early. Chen Qimei used to be Sun Yat-sen's right-hand man and the main force against Yuan. He has presided over and personally participated in the assassination of Yuan Shikai many times, personally planned and commanded the Zhaohe Ship Uprising, and led the Zhaohe Ship after the uprising to attack the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau of Beiyang**, which became Yuan Shikai's thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and was finally killed by Yuan Shikai with 50,000 oceans to buy Zhang Zongchang to kill Chen Qimei. and another worshipper, brother Huang Yin, once served as the prime minister of Beiyang.
As a veteran of the China League, Chen Qimei became the leader of Chiang Kai-shek's political career, and it was through this brother that Chiang Kai-shek got acquainted with Sun Yat-sen, not only won Sun Yat-sen's appreciation, but also won the blue eyes of Sun Yat-sen's wife and sister Song Meiling.
And all of this is because Chiang Kai-shek was sponsored by Jiang Miaoyue and came to Japan to study. The draught does not forget to dig wells, so Chiang Kai-shek has always been thinking about his aunt and aunt Jiang Miaoyue, who once borrowed money to help him make up for his study abroad, and he did not dare to forget it for the rest of his life.
Chiang Kai-shek, who came into contact with the revolution, soon threw himself into it.
In 1913, China's domestic political situation was turbulent, between the revolutionary camp led by Sun Yat-sen and Yuan Shikai's Beiyang **, there were many contradictions, with the assassination of Song Jiaoren, chairman of the Kuomintang, Sun Yat-sen naturally recorded this account on Yuan Shikai's head, in response, Sun Yat-sen established a new political party, the Chinese Revolutionary Party, and appointed Chiang Kai-shek to Shanghai to assist Chen Qimei in anti-Yuan activities, Chiang Kai-shek was therefore on Yuan Shikai's wanted list, Chiang Kai-shek had to return to his hometown to avoid the limelight temporarily.
At that time, many relatives and friends were afraid of being implicated and avoided it, but their aunt Jiang Miaoyue and Chiang Kai-shek's mother Wang Caiyu risked death to cover and help Chiang Kai-shek escape Yuan Shikai's arrest.
It is understandable that the mother risked her life for her son and risked death to protect each other, but as a relative, Jiang Miaoyue risked her life to save Chiang Kai-shek so disregarding her personal and family safety, so that Chiang Kai-shek, who had been wandering outside for many years and had seen a lot of cold-blooded and cold worlds, couldn't help but feel a lot of feelings and admired this uncle.
In 1916, Yuan Shikai, who had only been emperor for 83 days, died in a nationwide condemnation of Yuan, and Chiang Kai-shek's crisis was lifted, and he returned to Sun Yat-sen's side, gradually becoming Sun Yat-sen's right-hand man. In 1922, Chen Jiongming betrayed the revolution, and Chiang Kai-shek accompanied Sun Yat-sen to board the Yongfeng ship for refuge, and for more than 40 days he was personally escorted. In 1924, the first army officer school of the Kuomintang, the famous Whampoa Military Academy, was established, and Sun Yat-sen immediately appointed Chiang Kai-shek as the principal, and concurrently served as the chief of staff of the General Headquarters of the Guangdong Army.
Since then, as Chiang Kai-shek's rank has continued to rise and his power has increased, the teenagers who have run away have become farther and farther away from their hometowns, but every time they return to their hometowns, no matter how busy Chiang Kai-shek is, he will never forget to visit his uncle Jiang Miaoyue.
Time soon came to 1949, under the powerful offensive of the People's Liberation Army, Chiang Kai-shek, who was losing and retreating, was forced to go into the field because he insisted on stubbornly resisting to the end, and was opposed by the Kuomintang inside and outside the party and the people of the whole country.
The disheartened Chiang Kai-shek was particularly worried about the mountains and rivers of his hometown and his relatives at this time, and quietly returned to his hometown Fenghua, where he spent a rare quiet and peaceful time with his aunt Jiang Miaoyue. In less than a year, Chiang Kai-shek, who understood that the general trend was gone, began to arrange a retreat, and he asked his aunt Jiang Miaoyue for advice, hoping to take her to Taiwan with him.
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek thought in his heart that in the near future, he would return here and reproduce the glory of the past, and his aunt would follow him back to his hometown and live a good life.
At this time, Jiang Miaoyue was already an old man in his 80s, on the one hand, it was difficult to leave his homeland, on the other hand, he was not as confident as Chiang Kai-shek, and he was really afraid that this would be forever, and it would be difficult to return to his roots in the future, so he rejected Chiang Kai-shek's proposal.
In December 1949, Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan in a hurry, and since then, the two have been separated from each other, and goodbye is far away.
In 1964, the premier of the People's Republic of China suddenly received a letter mentioning Jiang Miaoyue's current situation. Jiang Miaoyue, who was in her 90s at the time, lived alone in her hometown, with a bleak evening and extremely poor physical condition. After more than a year of careful care, when Jiang Miaoyue's body recovered enough to travel, **After seeking Jiang Miaoyue's own opinion, accompanied by his son-in-law, Jiang Miaoyue was sent to Taiwan and Chiang Kai-shek's side through secret channels.
This is the first time that the premier of the new China has personally arranged to send a person he has never known to Taiwan, and it is also the first time that the new China has sent a person to Taiwan through normal channels, and all this is because this person is the person Chiang Kai-shek has been thinking about all his life.
After Jiang Miaoyue arrived in Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling personally went to the airport to greet her. Time has changed, the sea has changed dramatically, the naughty teenagers in their teens and their 30s, graceful **, now, a nearly old age, a near old age, a reunion in a foreign land far away from home, even though there are thousands of words, but relatively speechless, only holding hands to look at tears.
A strait, so far Chiang Kai-shek and his benefactor Jiang Miaoyue in a foreign land, never saw their hometown again, hopefully, their souls have returned to their hometown, and finally their souls are decided, back to their homeland.
