As we all know, Chiang Kai-shek had only two sons, one Chiang Ching-kuo and one Chiang Wei-kuo, but, did you know? He also has a daughter, more precisely, an adopted daughter.
Chiang Kai-shek's wife is called Mao Fumei, she is the wife chosen by Chiang Kai-shek's parents for Chiang Kai-shek, and he only has family affection for her, no love. Later, Chiang Kai-shek met the beautiful Chen Jieru in Shanghai, and at this moment, he felt Cupid shoot at him, and the two soon lived together and became husband and wife.
After getting married, Chen Jieru officially followed her husband in and out of social occasions in the name of "Mrs. Principal", and became Chiang Kai-shek's best assistant.
In this regard, what is recorded in Chiang Kai-shek's diary can be testified:
Chiang Kai-shek recorded in his diary on April 26, 14th year: "In the afternoon, I took the boat to Shantou with Jieru, and I was entangled in love and demons. ”During this period, Chiang Kai-shek's concubine Yao Yecheng also occasionally came to Guangzhou, but Chiang Kai-shek's balance was obviously inclined to Chen Jieru, from which it can also be seen how favored Chen Jieru was, but the two inevitably had some contradictions after getting along for a long time, and later developed into a quarrel.
The appearance of Song Meiling made Chen Jieru lose Chiang Kai-shek's favor, in Song Meiling's eyes, her eyes pierced Mao Fumei and Chen Jieru, in order to climb higher, Chiang Kai-shek had to ask Chen Jieru to avoid 5 years, let him and Song Meiling marry first. Chen Jieru was a hundred unhappy in her heart, but she had to know the priorities, so she had no choice but to agree to her husband's conditions and go to the United States to study.
In order to let Song Meiling marry him, Chiang Kai-shek also published the news of his divorce from his original partner Mao Fumei in the newspaper, after learning the bad news, Chen Jieru was deeply stimulated, and wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the sea several times, but fortunately, the escort found out to stop her from doing stupid things.
Chen Jieru spent five years in the United States. In 1949, Chiang Kai-shek left the mainland, and Chen Jieru was stranded in Shanghai, where he was invited to serve as a member of the CPPCC of Luwan District, Shanghai. In 1961, after getting the approval of ***, Chen Jieru went to Hong Kong to live in seclusion. In 1971, Chen Jieru died of a stroke in her Hong Kong apartment at the age of 65.
So, how did Chiang Kai-shek's adopted daughter come about?
Chen Jieru herself could not have children, which had become a thorn in her heart, so, after obtaining her husband's consent, she adopted a daughter and named her Jiang Yaoguang, which was later changed to Chen Yaoguang.
Chen Yaoguang is the daughter of an overseas Chinese in Guangdong, born in Guangzhou Civilian Hospital in 1924, at that time Chen Jieru and Liao Zhongkai's wife He Xiangning were close friends, one day, He Xiangning visited Guangzhou Civilian Hospital, and then unexpectedly learned that there was an overseas Chinese family who gave birth to several girls one after another, originally expected that the child was a boy, but it turned out to be a girl, they didn't want to raise it anymore, so they moved the idea of giving it away.
He Xiangning went to visit the mother after learning about it, and when she saw the white and chubby little girl in the swaddling clothes, she felt that it was very suitable for her eyes, and then she remembered that her friend Chen Jieru was still talking about the child, isn't this a sleepy pillow? The opportunity is not to be missed, she directly called Chen Jieru**, Chen Jieru immediately set off when she heard it, after seeing the child, Chen Jieru liked each other at a glance, she went back and told Chiang Kai-shek about it, looking at the desire in his wife's eyes, Chiang Kai-shek nodded and agreed, just like that, Chen Jieru had her own daughter. Chiang Kai-shek named his adopted daughter "Yaoguang", which means that he hopes that his daughter can shine in the world like a star.
Originally, their family of three lived very happily, but as a result, when Yaoguang was three years old, Chiang Kai-shek announced that he had disowned Chen Jieru, Chen Jieru went to the United States, and Jiang Yaoguang lived with his grandmother and changed his surname to Chen.
Jiang Yaoguang's relationship was not smooth, she married a North Korean when she grew up, and gave birth to two sons to the other party, but the other party turned out to be a spy, and fled after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Jiang Yaoguang only felt that it was dark.
Jiang Yaoguang knew that he couldn't pull his children to grow up alone, so, under the introduction of a friend, he married Lu Jiuzhi, a major general and president of the "Transformation **" club, he was about forty, Jiang Yaoguang was his successor, however, the two lived very happily, and Jiang Yaoguang also gave birth to a daughter to each other.
On January 21, 1971, Chen Jieru died in Hong Kong, Jiang Yaoguang and her husband were ready to go to Hong Kong for funeral, but they were affected by the Cultural Revolution and failed to do so.
On Jiang Yaoguang's 60th birthday, Lu Jiuzhi went to Hong Kong to visit relatives, Jiang Yaoguang persuaded him to stay, but he was reluctant to his motherland, so he only stayed for two months and returned to Shanghai.
