Why did Song Qingling leave the memorial service angrily?

One day in January 1976, Soong Ching-ling turned on the radio and prepared to listen to the news of the day. However, as the radio was turned on, the sound of mourning music slowly sounded, and Song Qingling's heart suddenly sank.

The announcer's voice continued to sound: "The People's Republic of China, the people's most beloved comrade, died in Beijing on the morning of January 8 ...... due to illnessBefore the words fell, Song Qingling was already in tears.

At this time, she was 83 years old, and the traces of time made her unable to run around. However, as a good friend of ***, she came to Beijing from Shanghai with a heavy heart to see off ***.

On January 15, Song Qingling, accompanied by his two adopted daughters, walked to the venue with heavy steps. When she saw the familiar face of her best friend, tears unconsciously slipped down the corners of her eyes, and she gently placed the bouquet in her hand in front of the body of ***.

Just as she was immersed in grief, there was a slight whispering sound in the venue, which made Song Qingling feel angry. She bowed deeply to ***, and then left the scene angrily, despite the fact that the memorial service was not over.

Before returning to Shanghai, Song Qingling submitted a letter of resignation to **, saying that he would resign from all positions. So, what exactly happened at the memorial service? Why did Soong Ching Ling resign from all positions?

In the 20s, ** and Sun Yat-sen met and fought side by side in the creation of the Whampoa Military Academy, and their revolutionary friendship began. At that time, Sun Yat-sen cooperated with the Communist Party and was in urgent need of talents, while *** returned from studying in Europe, and his heart was full of enthusiasm to serve the country.

By chance, ** heard about the revolutionary activities of Sun Yat-sen and his wife, so he immediately invited him to talk in detail. During this meeting, both parties were impressed with each other.

The young *** was full of enthusiasm, sharp words, and had a deep love and understanding of the revolution, and his insights deeply touched Sun Yat-sen and his wife. Sun Yat-sen sighed: "China cannot lack aspiring young people like ***!" ”

**During his tenure at the Whampoa Military Academy, he actively promoted political work and invited Soong Ching Ling to give a propaganda speech, and the friendship between the two grew deeper. Under the leadership of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the KMT and the CPC have carried out friendly exchanges and cooperation, and look forward to jointly promoting the revolutionary process and realizing peace and stability in the country at an early date.

However, after Sun Yat-sen's death, serious divisions arose within the Kuomintang, and Chiang Kai-shek betrayed Sun Yat-sen, usurped power, and brutally attacked the communists.

In the face of many difficulties, Soong Qingling resolutely chose to stand on the side of the Communist Party. Although her sister Soong Meiling was Chiang Kai-shek's wife, she did not hesitate to refuse Chiang Kai-shek's persuasion.

In the face of Chiang Kai-shek's threats and intimidation, she shouted: "You have turned your back on Sun Yat-sen, misinterpreted the Three People's Principles, and you are a revolutionary sinner!" She used her firm strength to resist the Kuomintang's policy of "splitting the Communist Party", and this behavior led Chiang Kai-shek to closely monitor and ** her.

However, Song Qingling did not back down because of this, but strengthened his belief. Her bravery and determination deserve our deep admiration and learning.

She adhered to her beliefs, resolutely drew a clear line with reactionaries, transmitted information to the underground party of the Chinese Communist Party, and bravely fought for justice, like a moth to a fire. After the outbreak of the Nanchang Uprising in 1927, she publicly expressed her support and bravely spoke up for the righteousness of the Kuomintang, although the Kuomintang was dictatorial to Chiang Kai-shek at the time.

After the July 7 Incident, the Japanese army invaded step by step, but Chiang Kai-shek and others launched a civil war, hypocritically declaring that "if you want to go outside, you must first settle inside", and ruthlessly ** to your compatriots. At this time, Soong Ching-ling stood up and firmly said: The KMT and the CCP must unite and cooperate, we must stop the civil war, and jointly resist foreign enemies.

Under heavy pressure from all walks of life, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to agree to discuss anti-Japanese cooperation with the Communists. On the way to the negotiation, ** thought of his old friend Song Qingling and decided to stop by to visit.

After learning the news, Song Qingling was extremely excited. Although they are all fighting for the revolutionary cause, they have not had the opportunity to meet each other for more than 10 years because they are in the north and the south.

Now that she can meet again, she decided to entertain *** well, so she prepared a hearty meal early and waited for *** to arrive. When *** picked up the car and arrived at the door, Song Qingling was already waiting at the door in advance, ready to greet this old friend.

Song Qingling excitedly shook ***'s hand and said enthusiastically: "Long time no see, old comrade!" You are very welcome to visit us! * conveyed ***'s greetings to her and elaborated on the revolutionary proposition of resistance against Japan.

After listening carefully, Song Qingling said solemnly: "Please rest assured, I firmly support the policies of the Communist Party, and if you need my help, you can tell me at any time." This meeting further strengthened Soong Ching-ling's belief in the anti-Japanese war, and she traveled to all sides, lobbying those who had followed Sun Yat-sen, and widely uniting friendly forces to raise supplies for the war against Japan.

Although Soong Ching-ling is not an official party member, she has made significant contributions to the cause of our party, and she has promoted the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Therefore, when Shanghai was liberated in 1949, the premier specially sent her to invite her to go north to jointly build New China.

After going through the storm of revolution, China has finally stood up and is no longer a country to be slaughtered by others. After coming to Beijing, Song Qingling and *** in the process of working hard for the construction of New China, their friendship became more and more deep.

Every time there is an event, the prime minister will give Song Qingling special care, which Song Qingling remembers in his heart. On the silver wedding anniversary of Prime Minister *** and Deng Yingchao, Song Qingling also sent special blessings to them.

Their relationship has long gone beyond ordinary comradeship, and is more like a kind of family affection.

Even in the most difficult moments, the friendship between ** and Song Qingling has not changed. At that time, the turmoil in Shanghai intensified, and as Sun Yat-sen's wife, Soong Qingling was also severely impacted, and even harassed at home.

Even more distressingly, someone even dug up the graves of her parents and destroyed their bones. Hearing the news, Song Qingling's hands trembled with anger, traditional Chinese culture believes that people should rest in peace after death, and now that the bones of her parents have been destroyed, how can she tolerate such an insult?

I'm finally worthy of my ancestors. For ***'s behavior of protecting himself in difficult times, Song Qingling expressed his deep gratitude and will always remember it.

In 1975, ***, who was busy with work, fell ill and could not eat, so he could only lie in bed. When Song Qingling learned the news, she was very worried. Although she was unable to visit in person, she silently prayed in her heart that the prime minister would be able to ** soon.

Soong Ching Ling has always been very fond of pigeons, because pigeons symbolize peace. She has a lot of pigeons at home, and whenever they lay eggs, she would save them up and give them to friends and family.

Now, looking at the pigeons at home, it occurred to her that pigeon eggs are rich in nutrients and are the most suitable for supplementing patients. However, it was not the best season for her pigeons to lay eggs, and she only found 5 eggs in her cage.

She carefully packed the eggs and instructed those around her to make sure they were delivered to the Prime Minister's hospital room in good condition. Although the number of pigeon eggs is not large, Song Qingling's heart is extremely sincere.

In this way, she hopes to do her part for the Prime Minister's performance.

These five pigeon eggs are full of Song Qingling's deep concern and best wishes for his old friends. Since *** fell ill, Song Qingling has always cared about his condition and paid attention to his ** situation.

One day, the staff around Song Qingling caught a big fish and prepared a nutritious meal for Song Qingling. However, when Song Qingling heard about this, he immediately politely declined: No need, thank you for your kindness, but this fish should be left to my friend who is not in good health!

** He has not been in good health, and I hope to use this fish to help him get back to health. These five pigeon eggs and this fish not only convey Song Qingling's deep concern for her old friend, but also express her deep gratitude to *** for her care and help over the years.

Although Song Qingling has always been concerned about ***'s health, they didn't have a chance to meet again, and they didn't even see *** and his wife when their adopted daughter sent things.

This made Song Qingling feel very uneasy. On January 8, 1976, the ** Prime Minister unfortunately passed away, Song Qingling was very sad when she heard the news, she looked in the direction of Beijing, and her heart was full of regret.

At this time, Song Qingling was also plagued by illness, but she still insisted on going to Beijing to see the last side of ***. Although her adopted daughter persuaded her to recuperate, because of the long distance and unstable condition, Song Qingling still insisted on her decision.

Song Qingling firmly said that she must attend the farewell ceremony of ***, because *** is her old friend and her revolutionary partner, and she has deep respect for him.

Considering her health, her two adopted daughters accompanied her. In her long revolutionary career, Song Qingling and *** established a deep friendship, and she not only regarded him as a friend, but also had a lot of respect for him.

Therefore, when she heard what others were saying about ***, she felt unacceptable. In the days leading up to the farewell ceremony, she heard a lot of talk about her participation in the ceremony, and some even questioned why she brought unrelated people with her.

But she insisted on her decision, believing it to be a sign of respect and nostalgia for ***.

Song Qingling was indifferent to those gossips, and she had only one thought in her heart - to pay her last respects to the memorial service of her old friend. On January 15th, the Great Hall of the People solemnly held a memorial service, and the elderly Song Qingling, with the support of his adopted daughter, walked with difficulty to the body.

The friend who used to talk and laugh with her was lying quietly in the cold coffin at the moment, which made Song Qingling's heart suffer a huge impact. She stared at *** with tears in her eyes and whispered, "Old friend, I'm here to see you for the last time......."Then he bowed deeply.

When she was immersed in the grief of losing her old friend, there was a burst of discussion behind her, saying that she belonged to the same faction as ***. Unrelated people broke in with official authority and special treatment, which upset Song Qingling.

These scattered remarks reached her ears and made her grief and anger. ** has dedicated his life to the country, and on this solemn occasion, someone actually used the so-called faction to distinguish him.

Thinking of her remarks a few days ago, she couldn't help but shout at the scene: "I'm already old, is it wrong to have someone to support me?" Shouldn't it? Song Qingling has been arrogant all her life, paying attention to her words and deeds, and when she heard such remarks, her anger made her leave the memorial service directly.

She left angrily and resigned from public office, just to stay away from gossip and misunderstandings. At the memorial service of ***, she did not "play official authority" or "engage in speciality", and those accusations were purely out of nowhere.

Her life in her later years revolved entirely around joining the party, and she had no other concerns except for this incident. After the death of her best friend ***, she was deeply affected and chose to live in seclusion, only spending the rest of her life in her own yard.

Knowing that ** and other comrades passed away one after another, she was full of despair and lived in Shanghai with resentment. It wasn't until 1976 that China** achieved a new victory and rekindled the spark of hope, which made her very happy.

* He even sent someone to invite her back to Beijing to attend a conference, which put an end to her years of resignation. In her later years, she wrote the article "Remembering ***", which truly expressed her admiration for ***.

Looking back on that turbulent period, it is not easy for Song Qingling and *** to have such a deep and sincere friendship. Song Qingling's calm character and strong will are also worthy of our admiration.

History will prove everything, and these rumors will eventually be forgotten, but the contributions made by Song Qingling and *** will always be remembered.
