Chiang Kai-shek was indeed a real villain, this is an undeniable fact. He started with the financial resources of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium gate valves, and then became the ** of China.
However, instead of upholding the spirit of the revolution, he betrayed the revolution and implemented complete ** rule. Even after being defeated and retreating to Taiwan, he still engaged in all kinds of intrigues for his own selfish interests, which led to the occurrence of many unjust cases.
In 1955, Chiang Kai-shek deposed and framed Sun Liren because he heard that the Americans wanted to appoint Sun Liren as a puppet, resulting in Sun Liren being imprisoned for 33 years.
In 1990, Sun Liren made a will before his death, demanding that he not return to his ancestral grave after his death and that the coffin would not be buried in the ground. So, what is the reason behind this? Today, let us review the historical grievances between Sun Liren and Chiang Kai-shek, focusing on Sun Liren's "Sun Liren Incident" and its impact on him.
Sun Liren, the famous general of the Anti-Japanese War, he once put pen to paper from Rong and became the first general, whether it is his performance in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression or his personal growth trajectory, it is worth taking out and talking about alone.
Stay tuned, let's highlight the name of this general, his name is Sun Liren.
Sun Liren, a talented son of Jinniu Town, Lujiang, Anhui Province, was born on December 8, 1900 in this place with abundant water and soil and outstanding people. Because he grew up in a scholarly family, his ancestors were all scholars, Sun Liren has read poetry and books since he was a child, is proficient in literature and ink, and his academic performance has always been among the best, and he is praised by his classmates as a scholar.
In middle school, he was always the first in his grade and was undoubtedly the pride of his class. What's even more amazing is that he was later successfully admitted to Tsinghua University, majoring in civil engineering, and graduated in 1924.
After graduating, he went to Purdue University in the United States to further his studies in civil engineering. From these experiences, we can see that Sun Liren is a person of great talent and talent.
Purdue University is one of the top universities in the United States, and has produced many outstanding alumni, including local celebrities such as Deng Jiaxian, the father of the two bombs, Liang Sili, the father of Chinese missiles, and astronaut Armstrong.
And now, Purdue University has added another distinguished alumnus to its Hall of Fame, Sun Liren. But what is different is that Sun Liren was just an ordinary student at that time, and his major and grades were nothing special.
The reason for this was that Sun Liren did not fail to study seriously, but was attracted by the strong scientific and technological strength of the United States at that time and the warm atmosphere of the Chinese revolution, which filled his heart with a sense of urgency and enthusiasm.
The wheels of history are rolling forward, and the power of the individual is insignificant in the face of history and the tide of revolution. In the face of the turbulence of the domestic situation, Sun Liren decided to devote himself to Rong and change his military studies.
In 1925, he graduated from Purdue University and entered the Virginia Military Academy, which is known for training officers, and began his military career. The Virginia Military Academy is a modern military academy that focuses on the growth of individual abilities of cadets, and is more humane than West Point, which emphasizes absolute discipline.
Sun Liren chose to sharpen himself here and contribute his strength to the future of China.
At the Virginia Military Academy in the United States, Sun Liren systematically learned the basic tactics and synthetic tactics of infantry combat, as well as basic skills such as infantry and artillery coordination and battlefield survival, and exercised a strong physique.
Although he started out as a weak scholar, his tenacity and perseverance allowed him to adapt to the rigors of military life. He runs consistently, rain or shine, and regularly trains in the gym and fighting ring.
His efforts were recognized by those around him, and the American cadets were impressed by his oriental wisdom. Eventually, he graduated from the military academy in 1927 and was highly praised by the dean of education, believing that he had the potential to become an excellent soldier.
His graduation book was marked as "excellent" and his graduation score was "excellent".
After graduating from the Virginia Military Academy, Sun Liren did not return to China immediately, but chose to spend a year traveling to Europe to inspect the military development of Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other military powers, so as to increase his knowledge and find gaps.
In June 1928, he returned to China on an ocean-going freighter, stood on the docks in Dalian, and then went straight home. Although he has become a military man with a lot of learning, he also needs to think about the path ahead.
Eventually, he decided to join the Kuomintang founded by Sun Yat-sen. In the ** Party School of the Kuomintang, he served as an instructor with the rank of lieutenant. It was a good choice, and he was one level higher in the military than when he graduated from the Virginia Military Academy.
Sun Liren is a soldier who graduated from a professional military academy, he has his own arrogance, and he is not satisfied with being an instructor in school. During his career, he met the first nobleman - Song Ziwen, who recommended him to be reused quickly.
In 1930, he served as deputy chief of the guard corps of the General Headquarters of the Army, Navy and Air Force, with the rank of colonel. From lieutenant to colonel, Sun Liren's rapid promotion shows the arbitrariness of the Kuomintang's internal employment and the laxity of the system.
In 1932, Sun Liren was promoted to the commander of the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Detachment of the Tax Police Corps, and although the position changed, the military rank did not change. Although Sun Liren performed well in office, because he had the temperament of a literati and was incompatible with the five major and three rough soldiers around him, some ** people did not want to see him, including Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the Kuomintang.
This is also one of the reasons why he does not reuse Sun Liren, and another reason is his ** disease - he is always prejudiced against non-Whampoa and thinks that non-relatives and non-descendants are not his own people.
However, this soon changed, as the local Sino-Japanese War broke out.
In the 1.28 Anti-Japanese War in 1932, the Fourth Regiment of the Tax Police Corps led by Sun Liren became the Independent Brigade of the 88th Division after being expanded.
In battle, Sun Liren's troops performed bravely, and he himself took the lead, always rushing to the forefront. His performance not only won the love of officers and soldiers, but also changed the impression of other officers on him.
However, Sun Liren's real fame came during the All-Out War of Resistance Against Japan. After the outbreak of the Lugou Bridge Incident, the full-scale War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression began. At that time, Sun Liren served as the chief of the tax police corps with the rank of colonel.
In the battle to defend Shanghai, he led his troops to resist bravely, regardless of life and death.
During the Battle of Songhu, the troops led by Sun Liren were located in the Suzhou Creek defense area, avoiding the risk of accidentally injuring civilians. They gave it a go, fought fiercely with the Japanese army, successfully repelled the Japanese group's charge seven times, held back the enemy army, destroyed its plan to take directly the rear of our army, and effectively contained the enemy's attack.
However, there is still a gap between the ** troops and the elite Japanese army, so the cost is huge. However, Sun Liren's heroic performance was highly praised by Chiang Kai-shek, who called him a hero who "cannot be broken, cannot be killed, and is not afraid of death".
Sun Liren was a brave and fearless officer, and in the Battle of Songhu, he always rushed to the forefront, even in the face of fierce enemy attacks, he did not flinch. His bravery and tenacity led him to perform many feats on the battlefield, and after the war, he was promoted to major general by Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1941, Sun Liren became the commander of the newly formed 38th Division, and his goal was to defeat the Japanese army in Burma. He once again demonstrated his military prowess on the battlefield in Burma, leading the newly formed 38th Division to many great victories.
The first major victory of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Burma was completed under the command of Sun Liren. Sun Liren's heroic deeds and excellent command won high praise from Allied allies, and he was honored as the "Rommel of the East".
His influence also grew in the Kuomintang army.
Sun Liren exchanged actual combat experience with the U.S. army, and after winning the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he was promoted to lieutenant general and took over the new First Army, a U.S. armament unit personally established by Chiang Kai-shek, which was one of the five trump cards of the Kuomintang army with very strong combat effectiveness.
However, serving as a military commander made Sun Liren's self-confidence inflated, he became arrogant, and he often made Chiang Kai-shek very tired of him. This boredom finally erupted after Chiang Kai-shek's defeat and retreat to Taiwan.
Sun Liren once served as "Taiwan's Defense Commander" and held a high position. But he was not satisfied with this, and hoped that Chiang Kai-shek would promote him to the rank of general, on an equal footing with Bai Chongxi and others.
Although Sun Liren's ability was comparable to Bai Chongxi's, Chiang Kai-shek politely declined his request for promotion because he did not like the feeling of being criticized.
As a graduate of the American University, Sun Liren maintains a close relationship with the United States, and his influence cannot be underestimated. Although Chiang Kai-shek was dissatisfied with Sun Liren, in the context of American aid, he had to reuse him, because it was crucial to his "** recovery" plan.
In 1951, Sun Liren was promoted to the rank of general, a second-class army general. Chiang Kai-shek, however, recently heard rumors that the Americans, disappointed in his performance, planned to install Sun Liren as Taiwan's puppet leader.
Chiang Kai-shek was furious by the news that Truman had succeeded Roosevelt as the first American leader, and he immediately took action to create the "Sun Liren Incident", deposing Sun Liren and stripping him of his powers, and even putting him under house arrest.
As a result, Sun Liren was forced to remain silent. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek's character was indeed very despicable, and there is no arguing about this. Although Sun Liren insisted on appealing for himself, Chiang Kai-shek was adamantly opposed to his appearance on any list of considerations relating to the Americans.
Core idea: Chiang Kai-shek's punishment of Sun Liren and his despicable behavior.
Sun Liren has been under house arrest for a long time, and his life has only one sentence: "Anyway, it is a hard drag, until it fades out of the field of vision of the Americans." Although at first he was unhappy with the treatment and often got angry at the air, over time he realized that no matter how angry he was, there would be no response.
His life was completely confined to his home, and because he was under semi-house arrest, he could not even leave the house because there was a group of spies arranged by Chiang Kai-shek outside the door, who specially monitored Sun Liren and his family, and did not allow them to go out.
Sun Liren and his wife were as difficult as jailers in their later years. Due to the restrictions and ostracism of the authorities, Sun Liren was confined and had a meager income, which made life very difficult.
He was forced to be self-sufficient, growing melons and fruits to make ends meet, and to feed his family. Sun Liren's claustrophobic life did not end until Chiang Ching-kuo's death, which lasted 33 years.
Sun Li once said before his death: "I am worthy of my country, but I am sorry for the nation, I will be buried on the spot, and I will not return to the mainland. ”
He died at home on 19 November 1990.
