A "Awakening Age" has brought countless people back to that special historical period, and also let us re-acquaint ourselves with the characters who once appeared in textbooks, they were the first to awaken and the first to join the revolution, and in that short but gorgeous ** period, they all created their own legends.
And the president of Peking UniversityCai Yuanpeiis one of them, compared with Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Hu Shi, Lu Xun and others in the same period, Cai Yuanpei's reputation is much more low-key.
However, few people know that he and Zhang Jingjiang, Wu Zhihui and Li Shi were once known as the "four elders of the Kuomintang", so it is not difficult to see how great Cai Yuanpei's social influence was during the ** period.
So, after many years, what happened to the four elders of the Kuomintang, and what are their descendants doing now?
The four elders of the Kuomintang are Zhang Jingjiang, Cai Yuanpei, Wu Zhihui and Li Shizeng, because they have made outstanding contributions to the establishment of the Kuomintang, and then they have been elected as members of the National Supervisory Committee, and the four have a close relationship with each other, so they are called the "four elders of the Kuomintang".
Among them, Mr. Cai Yuanpei is the most famous.
Late Qing DynastyGuangxu years, Mr. Cai Yuanpei Jinshi and the first, and thenSino-Japanese Warbroke out, the Qing ** regime was crumbling, and at this critical time, countless Chinese athletes began to seek a way to save the country, and Mr. Cai Yuanpei was no exception.
He studied in Germany and France, devoted himself to the study of the ideological and theoretical basis for reforming feudal education, and in 1904, he established the Guangfu Society in ShanghaiIn the following year, inspired by Mr. Sun's ambition, he joined the Alliance and became one of Dr. Sun's staunch supporters.
Later, when he served as the president of Peking University, he encouraged and supported himNew Culture MovementIt has greatly promoted the liberation and innovation of modern Chinese culture and education.
Zhang Jingjiang, the second veteran of the Kuomintang, has been giving Mr. Sun Yat-sen revolutionary economic support since he became acquainted with himIn the early days of the founding of the Kuomintang, Zhang Jingjiang made great contributions, so Mr. Sun also called him his "revolutionary saint".
Zhang Jingjiang. The third veteran was Wu Zhihui, who was a staunch rightist figure within the Kuomintang later, and the world did not know much about him.
However, a careful look at the past history shows that in the early days of the founding of the Kuomintang,Wu Zhihui, like Cai Yuanpei, Zhang Jingjiang, and Li Shizeng, was committed to overthrowing the decadent rule of the Qing Dynasty and establishing an independent revolution.
He was founded in France with Zhang Jingjiang and Li Shizeng"New Century".Weekly, also inXinhai RevolutionAfter the outbreak, he resolutely returned to China to support the revolution, but later, he turned against his initial beliefs.
The last of the four elders is Li Shizeng, who was a famous educator in China's first period, who once went to France to study with Cai Yuanpei and established a deep revolutionary friendship.
In 1906, he and Zhang Jingjiang, Wu Zhihui and others organized the "World Society" in Paris, advocating the promotion of non-**ism, and in the same year, under the introduction of Zhang Jingjiang, he joined the Paris branch of the League, thus beginning his revolutionary career.
Li Shizeng. So, Cai Yuanpei, Zhang Jingjiang, Wu Zhihui and Li Shizeng, as the four elders of the early days of the Kuomintang, have their descendants inherited the legacy of their ancestors, and where are they now?
First of all, Mr. Cai Yuanpei has a total of seven children, exceptThe eldest son, Cai Agen, died when he was six years old, the rest of the children are fortunate to live to adulthood, which may be a very rare and ordinary thing in the eyes of people now, but at that time, it was not easy, and the reason for this was also because of Mr. Cai Yuanpei's careful care of his children.
The second son, Cai WujiWhen he was three years old, his motherWang ZhaoHe died of illness, and two years later, his father remarried, and then gave birth to himSister William Cai and younger brother Cai Bailing
When Cai Wuji was 15 years old, he accompanied his father to France for an investigation, where he saw the countryside and agriculture after the Industrial Revolution, which was a world of difference from China at that timeCai Wuji was deeply moved, and then he made up his mind to realize his faith by saving the country through agriculture.
In this way, Cai Wuji studied agronomy in France, and eventually returned to his hometown of Shaoxing after becoming an agricultural engineer, Cai Wuji wanted to devote himself to changing the local backward agricultural situation, but under his visit and investigation, he finally found that the local breeding and animal husbandry technology is very backward, and the livestock mortality rate is very high, which also greatly increases the burden on the shoulders of farmers.
To this end,Cai Wuji returned to France again to study veterinary knowledge until he returned to China, hoping to change this situation with his own skills.
Cai Wuji. It's just that because of the remote location, the thinking of local farmers is still very backward, they despise the profession of veterinarian, although Cai Wuji has lobbied many times, but only very few people are willing to bring their livestock to his veterinary clinic to see a doctor, until the domestic environment has improved, Cai Wuji has ushered in the peak of his career.
In 1930, Cai Wuji finally established his Shanghai Veterinary College and served as a researcher at the Shanghai Commodity Inspection BureauDuring this time, he was involved in the development and production of the first batchRinderpest serum, which also made the widespread rinderpest epidemic in the Jiangnan area at that time effectively controlled.
Cai Wuji was thus able to realize the value of his life, and Cai Wuji lived in China until his death in Beijing in 1980.
Cai Yuanpei's eldest daughter Cai William is also a woman, she has followed her father to learn German and French since she was a child, and is determined to become China's "Leonardo da Vinci".William Cai lived abroad with his parents since he was a child, studied in many famous foreign art academies, and later became an art teacher in Hangzhou after returning to China.
William Tsai. She was a well-known oil painter in China during the ** period, and was once sought after by the people of the time, but it is a pity thatIn 1939, William Tsai died of a postpartum mattress at the age of 35.
Her portraits are mainly black, white and gray, focusing on the depiction of human faces, with strong structure, accurate modeling, and full of emotional meaning, and most of her works were collected after her death.
Cai Yuanpei's third son, Cai Bailing, like his sister Cai William, has lived abroad with his parents since he was a child, but unlike his sister's romantic feelings, he prefers to study various mechanical principles, therefore,When he grew up, Cai Bailing chose to study mechanical engineering, and obtained a bachelor's degree in this field.
Cai Bailing. Later,Cai Bailing lives in France, mainly engaged in magnetic research and strong electromagnet designDuring this period, he also returned to China many times for investigation, but due to various reasons, he was unable to settle in China.
And Cai Yuanpei'sThe fourth son, Cai Huaixin, is one of the leading figures in Chinese physics, his contribution to the study of domestic physical theory is also very large, and hisThe younger brother Cai Yingduo studied aviation and worked in the airline after graduationAlthough he did not have as outstanding achievements as his brother, he has been conscientious and hardworking during his tenure.
As for Cai Yuanpei'sThe youngest daughter, Cai Jianang, under the influence of her brother, also chose the path of physicsShe worked hard to study related professional knowledge in college, and became a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences after graduationAs the young daughter of Mr. Cai Yuanpei, who is regarded as a pearl in the palm of her hand, she has never married and dedicated her life to her career and country.
Looking at Cai Yuanpei's many children, almost all of them are outstanding talents, they not only shine in their own fields, but also always care about the country.
Among the four elders, Zhang Jingjiang had a total of two wives, of which the first wife gave birth to five daughters for him, and these five daughters can be said to have their own talentsIt can be said that the five golden flowers under the knee are full of fame**.
The eldest daughterZhang Ruiying, once studied in the United States, she has both the gentleness and grace of an oriental lady and the trendiness of an American celebrity, and later she married a classmateQu Lianfu
It's just that this marriage was not as happy as she thought, her husband Qu Lianfu was a *** who had a wife in her family before, and he pursued Zhang Ruiying, just because her father Zhang Jingjiang was in a high position at the time, and later Zhang Jingjiang was forced to leave from the center of power, and Qu Lianfu showed his true colors.
After Zhang Ruiying couldn't bear it anymore, she finally broke up with her, and later she lived alone with her two daughtersIn 1950, at the age of 50, Zhang Ruiying died of acute encephalitis, and her two daughters later joined the Chinese Communist Party.
Zhang Jingjiang's second daughter is namedZhang Zhiying, like her sister, she also returned from studying in the United States, but although she grew up in the same environment, her temperament was different from that of her sister, very strong, and she later married a British studentZhou Junmei, the two are very affectionate after marriage.
Zhou Junmei is a student in the United States who was admitted to Tsinghua University Gengzi indemnity, graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and is a top student in everyone's eyes, and his family is also a famous rich family in the local area, and even his ancestors can be comparable to the ancestors of the Zhang family, so after he fell in love with Zhang Zhiying, he was quickly recognized by Zhang Jingjiang.
Zhang Zhiying was the first of the Zhang sisters to come out of the cabinet, and after marriage, they sang and followed their wives, loved each other for 50 years, and raised four children together.
Zhang Jingjiang's third daughter is namedYun Ying, loved the piano since childhood, and later studied under a famous teacher, and was also a famous piano artist in the ** period, and later she married the first generation of Chinese directors and movie starsChen Shouyin
Chen ShouyinHowever, this marriage was not recognized by Zhang Jingjiang, perhaps because of Zhang Jingjiang's view of the door, or maybe in his heart, his daughter was too good, and he thought that Chen Shouyin was not worthy of his daughter at all.
But no matter what the reason, as a father, he can't screw his beloved daughter, and in the end, at Zhang Yunying's insistence, Zhang Jingjiang can only be forced to admit this marriage.
There is also a rumor about Zhang Yunying, it is said that she was also subjected to it back thenSong ZiwenSong Ziwen, as the finance minister of the Kuomintang at the time, held great power, but he fell in love with Zhang Yunying at first sight and launched a very fierce pursuit.
Song ZiwenIt's a pity that King Xiang has intentions, but the goddess has no intentions, although Song Ziwen was in a high position at that time, but this is not exciting for Zhang Yunying, who is bent on pursuing free love.
Moreover, it is said that because Song Ziwen was born in a famous family and had a smooth ride since he was a child, he used various means to coerce him more than once when he pursued Zhang Yunying, although he never caused any harm to Zhang Yunying, but in the end Zhang Yunying was disgusted with him, and later, Zhang Yunying still chose Chen Shouyin, who was more romantic.
However, it is difficult to prove the truth of this past incident, the only thing that can be known is that Miss Zhang Jiasan at that time was indeed a pearl of Shanghai Tang, and countless young people scrambled to pursue it, but in the end they could only return home.
Zhang Jingjiang's fourth daughterLiying, since childhood, love to paint, and later with their own talent in the painting world at that time enjoyed a certain fame, and later for various reasons, she got acquainted with Mr. Sun Yat-sen's English secretary at that time, that is, a well-known diplomatChen Yourenand fell in love with him at first sight, and then the two became husband and wife.
Chen YourenHowever, although Chen Youren is quite talented, he and Zhang Jingjiang are the same age, and the age difference is more than 30 years older than Zhang Liying, so the relationship between the two has experienced a lot of twists and turns at the beginning, and later Chen Youren's political views are different from Zhang Jingjiang, and the relationship between the two is even more estranged, however, despite this, Zhang Liying still chose to marry Chen Youren.
Finally, Zhang Jingjiang's youngest daughterQianying, Because she is the youngest daughter in the family, she has been loved by her parents and four sisters since she was a child, so she has developed a bold character, and later she married an overseas ChineseLin Kesheng
Lin KeshengLin Kesheng, as the Minister of Health of the National People's Republic of China at that time, was already a successful career in the eyes of the people around him, but such an identity was far from enough for Zhang Jingjiang to marry his daughter, especially since Lin Kesheng had already had a wife at that time.
However, in the end, under his daughter's plea, he still agreed to the marriage of the two.
It is not difficult to see that although Zhang Jingjiang is a person who says the same thing politically, he is just an ordinary father when facing his beloved daughter, and he can only retreat again and again for his own principles.
Zhang Qianying is the most courageous of the five sisters, before getting married, she especially liked to drive a car, it is said that she spent as much as four or five hundred yuan a month on car refueling, from which you can imagine how much she spends every month.
In order to control her expenses, her father Zhang Jingjiang once privately instructed the family's account office to only allow her to spend 200 yuan per month, but this order was only implemented for a month and was unsustainable, and was finally revoked under Zhang Qianying's coquettishness, which is not difficult to see how much Zhang Jingjiang loves his little daughter.
Zhang Jingjiang's five golden flowers were very famous in the upper class society at that time, of course, many of them were due to Zhang Jingjiang's power and status, but more because these five daughters did have their own talents, and they deserved to be laughed at by many young talents.
Zhang Jingjiang's second wife also gave birth to five daughters and two sons, these five daughters were named Naiqi, Naiheng, Naili, Naichen, and NaixunCompared with the five golden flowers in front, these five daughters are much more low-key.
WhileHis two sons Zhang Naichang and Zhang Nairong also have their own achievements, Zhang Naichang mainly studied geology, and his work after graduation is mainly based on the study of geology and mining, and he has won many awards, while his younger brother Zhang Nairong is relatively low-key, and the specific situation is difficult for outsiders to know.
Wu Zhihui has only one wife in his life, namedYuan Yunsheng, the two are right, after marriage, Qin Se and Ming, the relationship is very deepThey have a son and a daughter, the son is named Wu Xiang and the daughter is named Wu Rong.
Because Wu Zhihui himself has a good background, he looks down on material enjoyment and attaches more importance to spiritual enjoymentmay be influenced by their father, so is Wu Shen and Wu Rong, compared with other famous ladies, the brother and sister are extraordinarily simple.
Wu Zhihui. Wu Shen later fell in love with Li Jishen's daughter and then married, while his sister Wu Rong married Xu Keting, the first chairman of Shanghai Zhonghua Book Company.
Li Jishen. Li Shizeng had a total of four wives, but except for the original wife, who gave birth to a son and a daughter, the other three wives did not have other children.
His son Li Zongwei later settled in France, and his daughter Li Yamei married Zhu Guangcai.
Li Shi had two grandchildren, two sons and one daughter, the eldest grandson Da Qi, and the second grandson Erxie, who later married a French woman and settled in France, while his granddaughter Li Ailian lived in Taipei for a long time.
