Speaking of Zhang Sume and Song Meiling's first acquaintance, it has to be traced back to 1937.
This year, Zhang Sume was studying in the UK, and at this time, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, and Zhang Zhizhong immediately recalled Zhang Sume and asked his daughter to join the War of Resistance against Japan.
Zhang Su: I remember that my father told her like this:
"China has reached a critical juncture of life and death, and you must quickly return to China and devote yourself to the anti-Japanese salvation movement. ”Zhang Su I understand the importance of the Anti-Japanese War, but Zhang Su also wants to complete my studies and obtain a bachelor's degreeHowever, Zhang Zhizhong said solemnly that the Anti-Japanese War was urgent, so Zhang Su gave up his studies, resolutely returned to the motherland and participated in the War of Resistance.
On August 1, Soong Meiling convened a meeting of the women's families of important Kuomintang members.
At the meeting, Song Meiling told everyone that the War of Resistance will be a difficult war of attrition, so women should understand the principle of patriotism and form the "Chinese Women's Consolation Position Anti-Japanese War Soldiers' Association" to participate in the War of Resistance.
Song Meiling's political foresight also made Zhang Su and I admire this aunt very much.
Not long after, Song Meiling made an appointment to meet Zhang Sume at home.

Under the organization of Song Meiling, Hankou established the Wartime Child Care Association, which was presided over by Guo Moruo, Deng Yingchao and others, Zhang Su and I also participated, the president was Song Meiling, and the vice president was Deng Yingchao.
The purpose of the nursery is mainly to rescue children from the war zone to the rear, and to raise and relieve the children.
The headquarters of the nursery society is set up in Hankou, and there are also nursery associations throughout the country, such as Chongqing, where there are more than 10 nursery workers and tens of thousands of children.
It is also because of this move that the children's fathers and mothers, that is, the soldiers on the front line, have peace of mind, and they have bravely killed the enemy on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, making great contributions.
In the middle is Song Meiling.
Because of Song Meiling's actions,The children of the nursery staff affectionately call Song Meiling as:
"Mom! ”May 1938. Song Meiling organized and held a women's meeting in Lushan, which was attended by Deng Yingchao, Meng Qingshu, Zhang Sume and others, which was a national women's conference.

At the conference, it was decided that Soong Meiling would be the head of the instructor, while Zhang Sume would be the head of the training group, participating in the work of rescuing women and children, assisting some orphans and refugees, and publicizing the revolutionary significance of the Anti-Japanese War.
During this period, Zhang Su and I clearly remember that Aunt Song Meiling often went to every house to address the young women, encouraging everyone to come out, participate in the Anti-Japanese War, and contribute their own strength.
For Song Meiling's work,Sister Song Qingling also expressed her admiration and said it herself:
"Soong Meiling transformed the representatives of the middle class, the ladies, into young civilized warriors. ”In addition to contributing to the rear, Song Meiling also personally went to the front line to encourage the soldiers, before the battle of Wuhan, Zhang Zhizhong was the chairman of Hunan Province at that time, Song Meiling and Zhang Sui went to the major hospitals in Hunan to comfort the wounded.
In addition to condolences to the wounded, Song Meiling also personally brought medical supplies and a lot of first-class equipment, spoke to the soldiers, and encouraged everyone to persist in the war of resistance.
When it came to the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, Song Meiling also went to the front line to comfort the soldiersBecause of the impact of the war, Song Meiling was unfortunately injured and broke several ribs.
These things are Zhang Su's admiration for Song Meiling!
Zhang Su me. In 1940, Zhang Sume and Zhou Jiabin got married.
The marriage of the two was held in Chongqing, and Song Meiling unfortunately did not attend in person because of something, but she still sent a gift:
Red leather bags, clothes, watches.In addition, Song Meiling also personally wrote four big characters on the paper, which were written in regular letters:
Yier room home.Zhang Su, I understand, this is also my aunt's best wish to herself! The two met again in 1947.
This year, Zhang Su and I happened to be working with Nanjing, so I came to Song Meiling's house to visit my aunt, and saw Zhang Su and I came, Song Meiling was very happy, and specially instructed the chef to make a cake for Zhang Su, she remembered that Zhang Su I love sweets.
Zhang Su was also very moved in my heart, in fact, she was in her 30s at the time, and she was no longer a childBut Aunt Song Meiling still loves her like a child.
Song Meiling. Song Meiling also once gave Zhang Su me a gift, which is a collection of essays:
"Madame Chiang Kai-shek's Telegram in War and Peace Peace".This book, written by Song Meiling during the war, was written in English, and at that time, Song Meiling gave this book to Zhang Sume, and wrote a special sentence on the title page.
In this book, it is Song Meiling's record of the Anti-Japanese War, in the book,Soong Meiling recorded the atrocities of the Japanese army, exposed Japan's actions to the news agency, criticized the connivance policy of Western countries towards Japan, and expressed to the world the determination of the Chinese people and soldiers to resist bravely.
Zhang Su: I have always treasured this book.
Later, in 1979, this book was collected by the library of "People's **", Zhang Su and I were also very happy, and later Zhang Su I found an opportunity, and also translated the book into Chinese, and donated the Chinese "Chiang Kai-shek Lady in War and Peace Peace" to the China Women and Children's Museum.
In 1949, New China was born!
Song Meiling. Zhang Sui has never seen this aunt since the founding of the People's Republic of China, but Song Meiling's temperament and appearance, as well as her unique personality charm, still make Zhang Sume feel unforgettable.
In the blink of an eye, the year 1980 came.
This year, Zhang Su and I went to New York, USA, this time I went to New York, Zhang Su I mainly went to visit relatives, before I came, Zhang Su I knew that my aunt Song Meiling was also in New York, so after the visit, Zhang Su I also wanted to see Song Meiling again.

Kong Lingyi is the daughter of Song Meiling's sister Song Ailing, and she is also Zhang Su's classmate and friend, in New York, Kong Lingyi and Song Meiling live together.
After Zhang Su and I found Kong Lingyi, both parties were very happy to see each other again, and they said hello for a long time.
During the chat, Song Meiling also expressed with Kong Lingyi that she wanted to meet her aunt.
Kong Lingyi asked curiously
"Are you still going back home? ”Zhang Su nodded and said that she would definitely return to China, after all, she was still teaching in China, and she would not stay in the United States for a long time.
Kong Lingyi nodded regretfully.
Kong Lingyi. It is also because of time and other reasons that Zhang Su and I did not see my aunt Song Meiling this time, which can be regarded as a regret of Zhang Su.
After returning to China, Zhang Sui also wrote a greeting card to Kong Lingyi, and on the greeting card, Zhang Sui respectfully asked about the health of his aunt Song Meiling and expressed his greetings.
Every year after that, Zhang Sui would send a greeting card to her aunt Song Meiling in the United States to express her greetings.

This year, Zhang Su and I happened to go to New York, USA to visit relatives again, so I wanted to take this opportunity to meet my aunt Song Meiling, Zhang Su I found, it was still Kong Lingyi, but Kong Lingyi still refused Zhang Su's invitation.
Kong Lingyi and Zhang SuI said that Song Meiling has recently had the symptoms of ** disease, and she is unwilling to see people, and it is inconvenient to see people.
Helplessly, this time Zhang Su regretted missing the opportunity to see his aunt.
In the blink of an eye, the year 2003 came.
On this day, Zhang Su and I received a **, informing Zhang Su that Song Meiling had passed away, and when I heard the news of my aunt's death, Zhang Su and I were also very sad.
Zhang Su me. After calming down a little, Zhang Su and I went to the telegraph office to prepare to send a telegram, and later changed our minds and gave Kong Lingyi a ** to express my condolences to my aunt.
