The old Song Ailing was wise against Roosevelt and turned against his brother
Title: Roosevelt** was angry by a 16-year-old Chinese female student: The United States is not a free country! Description: One day in 1906, a large group of reporters surrounded the White House, and the spotlights flashed incessantly, lest they miss any details of the conversation.
When Roosevelt stared at a girl in confusion, Wen Bingzhong, the head of the Chinese delegation, hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "This is my niece, who is studying in the United States at her own expense, and she respects you very much, so I brought her here." ”
* Laughing, "America is a free country, and anyone who comes to the United States will receive the warmest welcome." However, **'s words were not approved by the girl, and she said unceremoniously: "Mr. *, how can you say that America is a free country?"
I had come to study but as soon as I arrived in San Francisco, I was rudely turned away and spent four weeks on a ship in the harbor. Before she could explain, the girl continued: "Turning a 15-year-old girl away can't be an order from **, right?"
If there were American girls in China, they would never be treated like this, which is not in line with our Chinese hospitality. The words made ** speechless, so he had to turn around and walk out of the lounge.
The next day, all major newspapers reported on the front page the news of "Chinese female students studying abroad in the United States to *** China's Chinese exclusion policy". This girl who is in full view of everyone and angry ** is Song Ailing, she is 16 years old this year.
This incident showed the world the courage and determination of Chinese girls, and also drew attention to the anti-Chinese policy of the United States.
She didn't foresee at that time that she would become the key controller of the Song family in the future, leading it to the peak with her own hands, but also causing its collapse with her own hands.
After Song Ailing returned from school, he became his father's right-hand man. She realized that her father had an unknown identity - an important member of the Alliance. Her job was to assist her father in raising funds for the revolution, secretly liaising with members of the League, and ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of information with Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
When Song Ailing heard this, she took a deep breath, then pressed the Bible with her hand and made a vow: "I will do my best to do a good job, keep it a secret, and even if I face prison, I will not regret it!" ”
One day, Soong received a letter from Dr. Sun Yat-sen, in which he urgently requested that funds be raised to ensure the smooth progress of the large-scale armed uprising in Guangzhou. Song Ailing immediately handed the letter to her father and waited anxiously for his decision.
Eventually, my father decided to make a list of the wealthy businessmen in Shanghai and visit them one by one. Song Ailing proposed: "Time is pressing, let's act separately. ”
Song Ailing's admiration for Shen Manyun made her determined to see him. However, when she arrived at Shen's house, she was given a cold reception by the porter. The porter firmly told her that Mr. Shen was not at home today and that she needed to come back another day.
Song Ailing already knew about Mr. Shen's closing door, but she still insisted on giving it a try, so she asked the porter if Mr. Shen was at home. The porter was stopped by her question, and after a little hesitation, he told Song Ailing that Mr. Shen didn't see anyone at home and asked her to leave.
However, Song Ailing did not give up because of this, she firmly said "He knows I am waiting for him", and walked into the concierge without hesitation. The porter was overwhelmed and asked for her name, intending to report it.
Song Ailing was angry at the porter's attitude, and she said resolutely: "What? You go and report, hang me at the door, and make Mr. Shen look good! Then she went straight inside the door.
When Song Ailing was talking to Shen Manyun, her mind was sharp and her mind was running at high speed. When Shen Manyun wanted to draw a clear line with the reason of rebellion and beheading, Song Ailing wittily counterattacked: "Mr. Shen has already been at risk of being beheaded once.
I have here a record of your donation to the "Minhu**" Minli Daily, can you get out of it? Then, she used the overall situation of the world as the reason, explained it in an orderly manner, and finally used interests**: Once the revolution succeeds, you will be a great hero, which is not only fame and fortune, but also investment profit. ”
Seeing that Shen Manyun was shaken, Song Ailing immediately took out the donation slip and handed it over: "Uncle Shen, please sign here." Under Song Ailing's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Shen Manyun couldn't shirk it, only signed with his scalp, and increased the donation amount from 500,000 to 1 million.
Although fundraising can only prove Song Ailing's double business, the next two events more fully prove her resilience.
On December 25, 1911, at the Wusong port, thousands of people waited for Sun Yat-sen's arrival. As Sun Yat-sen's secretary, Song Ailing prepared suitable clothes for him in advance.
When Sun Yat-sen came ashore, Soong reminded him to pay attention to the dignity of the leader and not to dress casually. Time was pressing, and Song Ailing quickly found the military uniform of the representative of the Shanghai Military Governor's Office in the crowd, which was not only in line with Sun Yat-sen's identity, but also in line with the fashion trend of the time.
On New Year's Day 1912, Sun Yat-sen set out from Shanghai to take the oath of office in Nanjing, followed by Soong Ailing as secretary. On the train, Soong received information that a group of Qing troops was lurking in the city, preparing to assassinate Sun Yat-sen.
Faced with the crowd of people, Song Ailing was anxious, and she had to pass on the information to Sun Yat-sen without causing a riot. She had an idea, quickly wrote a note, turned around and stuffed it to Huang Xing behind Sun Yat-sen.
According to her arrangement, Sun Yat-sen took a special car into the city's railroad tracks and drove directly to ** Mansion. Soong Ailing's outstanding performance was appreciated by Sun Yat-sen, but her feelings were not reciprocated.
Sun Yat-sen is mature and steady, but Song Ailing has deep feelings for him. She hinted and made it clear several times, but in exchange for Sun Yat-sen's direct or indirect refusal.
In a fit of rage, Soong Ailing resigned as Sun Yat-sen's secretary.
Song Ailing once rejected Sun Yat-sen because of the age gap, but she later found out that Sun Yat-sen had an "uncle-nephew love" with her second sister, and eventually became her brother-in-law.
In order to avoid Sun Yat-sen's work efficiency from declining due to his resignation, Song Ailing recommended Song Qingling, who had just returned to China, to Sun Yat-sen, which indirectly contributed to the marriage of Sun and Song and gave the Song family an additional father of the nation.
Later, Song Ailing ushered in Kong Xiangxi, the 75th grandson of Confucius and the richest man in Shanxi, at dusk. Song Ailing is particularly sensitive to money, so the identity of "the richest man in Shanxi" attracted her.
After dinner, she had an in-depth conversation with Kong Xiangxi and found that his earning power was enough for her to entrust her with life. So, not long after, the couple entered the marriage hall with everyone's blessings.
Their union is like planting a cash cow in a cornucopia.
After a period of marriage, they reached a common understanding: in modern society, wealth is important, but in order to become super-rich, you must hold power. For the marriage of the second sister, although it is somewhat accidental, but for the marriage of the younger sister, it is carefully designed.
At the end of 1924, Sun Yat-sen became seriously ill in Beijing and was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer. This news set off a power struggle within the KMT. After analyzing and ruling out, Kong Xiangxi and Soong Ailing decided to bet on Chiang Kai-shek, who held military power and ambitions.
How to win over Chiang Kai-shek? Song Ailing had an idea: beauty plan! At this time, Song Meiling was in love with Liu Jiwen. Why is Song Ailing so confident? Because she knows that whether the little sister agrees or not, this marriage is very important to the Song family.
At first, Song Meiling was hesitant about this suggestion, she thought that she was too old and her private life was a little chaotic, which became the reason for her opposition. However, Song Ailing did not immediately force Song Meiling to accept this proposal, but as she did with Shen Manyun back then, she was soft and hard.
She told Soong Meiling: "You may be smart and confused for a while, but you must understand that today you are not married to Chiang Kai-shek, but to the emperor who rules China!" ”
Song Ailing's double business is very high, she did not immediately take a persecutive attitude, but just stated her opinion.
On December 1, 1927, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling held a wedding, and the banquet hall was crowded with reporters from more than 30 newspapers, and more than 1,000 guests attended the wedding.
This marriage not only enhanced the status of the Song family, but also made Kong Xiangxi's career flourish. After that, the Song family occupied two-thirds of the share of the four major families and truly became a wealthy family, and all thanks to Song Ailing's efforts, she single-handedly pushed the Song family to the top.
Song Ailing, standing at the pinnacle of her life, did not stop pursuing, but continued to display her talent and wisdom.
Before the Kuomintang moved its capital to Chongqing, Soong had already started her speculative business. She had a premonition that the Japanese army would encircle Chongqing, so she used her power to hoard a large number of medicines and goods.
When the materials were in short supply, she sold the goods ** and obtained dozens of times the profit. What's more, she also used the information of the first to coax small and medium-sized owners and ordinary people to sell old public bonds at low prices, and then finally earned tens of millions of national hardships.
These behaviors made Song Ailing earn a lot of money, but they made the people suffer a lot of losses and complained.
At that time, Soong Ziwen had a serious conflict with Chiang Kai-shek because of his disagreement with Chiang Kai-shek's anti-Japanese policy. Angry Chiang Kai-shek slapped Song Ziwen. Knowing that his younger brother had been wronged, Song Ailing took the case and decided to find Chiang Kai-shek to theorize.
In the end, Soong Meiling's intervention stopped the development of the situation. However, the world has changed, and now Song Ailing is indifferent to her brother's life and death for her own selfish interests.
At the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Song Ailing used the same method in Shanghai. After she purchased the public bonds at a low price, she declared that she would pay the pre-war public bonds in a preferential way by comparing the price in kind.
As soon as the news came out, the public bond was **rapid**, and in less than a month, the public bond with a denomination of 100 yuan rose to 8,400 yuan. Song Ailing seized the opportunity and threw away the public debt in her hand with 8,000 yuan.
This operation allowed her to easily earn 150 billion, but left a mess for her younger brother Song Ziwen. When Song Ziwen learned the news of the crazy rise in public debt, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He understands that ** is not able to pay at this time, and if it is paid according to this **, it will seriously damage the credibility of **. If this matter is not handled well, Song Ziwen's situation will be very dangerous.
Song Ailing is very clear about this, in order to pursue money and power, the Song family has constant internal disputes, which eventually leads to **. Such an ending makes people feel sorry.
Song Ailing once said: "Money has a wonderful influence, it can make people lose themselves, and they can't tell whether people are controlling money or money is driving people." ”
Soong Ailing's life is admirable, and her business sense and political acumen are breathtaking. Although she is not cunning by nature, we can see her determination and determination from her experience of studying in the United States.
In history class, her answers to the American war were so appreciated by the professor that she was already a good American citizen. However, Soong did not change her position because of this, she stood up and emphasized: "Professor, I think I should clarify that I am not a U.S. citizen.
I am Chinese, my family has been Chinese for generations, and will always be Chinese. I'm proud that I'm Chinese! Soong's words still echo in her ears, but her actions have always been committed to defending China's interests.
She once brought the Song family's status to the peak, but due to overcalculation, the family collapsed; She had been a staunch supporter of the revolution, but she had become a speculator who took advantage of the country's disaster for personal gain; She was proud to be Chinese, but in the end she could only spend the rest of her life in a foreign country.
I think that Song Ailing must have been reflecting on her life in her later years, but the people she loved deeply were always the farthest away from her. Is life the way it is, or is there really a difference in people's hearts?
