Jiang Weiguo, as the second son of Chiang Kai-shek, compared with his father and brother, he married two wives in his life, and his first wife Shi Jingyi died of dystocia, which became his lifelong pain, so that in 1997, when Jiang Weiguo was critically ill, he still begged his second wife Qiu Allen: Be sure to bury me and Jingyi together.
Death is also the same hole: plead and be buried with Shi Jingyi
In 1953, after taking care of the funeral of his wife Shi Jingyi, Jiang Weiguo went to the United States again and entered the regular class of the US Army Command and Staff Academy and the air defense training missile class. During this period, he met Ellen Qiu, who was nearly 20 years younger than him.
Qiu Ellen is a Sino-German mixed race beauty, Jiang Weiguo first saw Qiu Ellen, and was overwhelmed by her fair skin and dignified demeanor, and he learned that this is the daughter of Qiu Bingmin, the deputy director of the storage and transportation department of the ** Trust Bureau.
The young and lively Qiu Ellen walked into the world of Jiang Weiguo, and Jiang Weiguo met Qiu Ellen under the introduction of Dai Anguo and launched a fanatical pursuit of him. In 1957, Jiang Weiguo and Qiu Ailun held a wedding in Tokyo, Japan, and the marriage was officiated by their introducer Dai Anguo.
Four years after marriage, Qiu Ailun gave birth to a son for Jiang Weiguo, and Chiang Kai-shek was very happy and gave the grandson the name Jiang Xiaogang.
However, after getting married, Jiang Weiguo and Qiu Ailun are not as close as before marriage, Jiang Weiguo works hard for the military every day, but Qiu Ailun doesn't understand these things, and she doesn't mean to share worries for Jiang Weiguo, she is young, even if she becomes a mother, she still looks like a little girl.
The conflict between the two broke out after Qiu Ailun's brother Qiu Tingliang**, and the disheartened Qiu Ailun and Jiang Weiguo separated. In 1975, Qiu Ellen accompanied Song Meiling to the United States. She doesn't want to break with Jiang Weiguo, she often writes letters and cares about Jiang Weiguo's life.
Jiang Weiguo persuaded her to return to Taiwan, but she politely refused, she said: "I like this kind of life. In 1994, Jiang Weiguo was hospitalized with diabetes and kidney disease. When Qiu Ellen arrived, the man in front of him was full of gray hair, lying on the hospital bed, unable to take care of himself.
Under the care of Qiu Ailun, Jiang Weiguo's health improved, and Qiu Ailun said goodbye to Jiang Weiguo for a short time. But two years later, Jiang Weiguo was once again admitted to the "Veterans General Hospital" due to illness.
Qiu Ailun returned to Taiwan this time, she is also an old man in her 60s, but Jiang Weiguo's situation is obviously worse than last time, he is full of tubes, when he was dying, he looked at his old wife who did not know when, and slowly said his request: "Let me be buried with Jingyi......”
No one could read the expression on Qiu Ailun's face, she finally completed the funeral with dignity, fulfilled Jiang Weiguo's wish, and buried him next to Shi Jingyi's tomb.
The tomb had been laid a long time ago, and it was clear that he had already planned to do so. In the end, Ellen Qiu flew to the United States alone and disappeared from the public's gaze.
Four years after the death of his wife, he married a wife who was twenty years younger, and never got rid of the "merry" habits of the Jiang family, but he always remembered his wife for a long time.
Love at first sight: Jiang Weiguo and Shi Jingyi met and fell in love
In the autumn of 1942, Speaker Liu Chucai held a banquet and invited celebrities from all walks of life in Xi'an. When Jiang Weiguo saw Shi Jingyi, he stepped forward generously to say hello: "Long time no see." Shi Jingyi has always been squeamish with a little daughter, she also smiled and bowed her head to signal, Shi Fengxiang didn't have time to ask how the two met, Jiang Weiguo stretched out his hand and invited Shi Jingyi to dance. After the dance, the scene unconsciously burst into applause.
Just when everyone was talking about the harmonious and familiar atmosphere between the two, the focus of the dance, Jiang Weiguo and Shi Jingyi, looked at each other and smiled, silent.
A few months ago, Jiang Weiguo looked at the Xi'an Railway Station, and at that time, he was ordered to come to the Northwest Army under Hu Zongnan as a second lieutenant platoon commander of the second infantry battalion, stationed in Tongguan. Young people who have just returned from studying in Germany are very new to everything in the country.
Young and merry, he soon discovered that there was a graceful young lady sitting in the waiting hall: short ear-length hair, Lan Shilin's cloth cheongsam covered with a milky white knitted shirt, and a small round face, buried in the newspaper.
It seemed that the content of the newspaper made her a little angry, and her delicate eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and a handful of bangs hung down in front of her eyes, but she didn't pick them out. This made Jiang Weiguo couldn't help but get closer, after all, what kind of brilliance was the eyes behind the newspaper.
Jiang Weiguo walked over to the woman: "Miss, can you lend me the newspaper in your hand?" Shi Jingyi, who was reading intently, was startled by the person who came, the person in front of him was wearing a crumpled old military uniform, but he was tall, with a thin face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, not like a bad person.
She looked at this person's military uniform, just a junior officer, hesitated for a moment, put down the newspaper and said, "Sorry, this is an English newspaper, you probably can't read it." No matter how gentle these words are, they are also a little insulting.
But Jiang Weiguo was not annoyed, asked again, took Shi Jingyi's newspaper, and read an article aloud, the pronunciation was pure, and he read it very fluently, which made Shi Jingyi slightly surprised for a moment.
Because Shi Jingyi was interested in English, she took Zhang Sume as her teacher and practiced a standard Oxford accent with her. But she found that even in college, few people could speak English fluently.
The girl in front of her was feeling embarrassed, but Jiang Weiguo laughed, the young man's hearty laughter did not stop for a long time, Shi Jingyi seemed to be infected, shrugged her shoulders, expressed her apologies, and smiled.
The whistle sounded, and it was realized that the two were on the same train again. The two talked happily on the train, and at this time, the two exchanged identities, as Jiang Weiguo expected, the woman in front of him was from a famous family, and she was the daughter of Shi Fengxiang, the richest man in the northwest and the founder of Dahua Yarn Factory.
And Shi Jingyi knew that this man in a crumpled military uniform was Chiang Kai-shek's second son, and she was slightly taken aback, but when she thought of that fluent English, she was relieved.
When the two got out of the car, they left each other and agreed to contact each other in the future.
Originally, Jiang Weiguo only regarded this as a light "affair", but he found that the longer he was separated, the more he missed the delicate figure on the train. He suddenly realized that although he had accosted and dated many beautiful girls before, Shi Jingyi might be different.
After the ball, Chiang Weiguo would come to Xi'an every weekend to go on a date with Shi Jingyi, and soon, the news that Chiang Kai-shek's second son and the daughter of the Northwest textile king were in love spread.
Shi Jingyi was immersed in love, but Shi Fengxiang heard the gossip from the outside world, but he was a little uneasy.
Shi Fengxiang originally had two sons and two daughters with his wife, but after the eldest daughter Shi Shuyi married Lu Fengzhang, the general manager of the Bank of China in Shaanxi Province, she died of dystocia within a few years. After calculation, plus the three children born to the concubine, Shi Fengxiang has a total of five sons, but Shi Jingyi is the only one left with a baby daughter.
Therefore, in Shi Jingyi's marriage, Shi Fengxiang was cautious and cautious, he first did not move, and checked Jiang Weiguo's "love history", the worse it was, the more angry he became, from Shi Liling of Soochow University to the ......romance of studying in GermanyShi Fengxiang immediately gave Shi Jingyi an ultimatum: The man of the Jiang family is absolutely not.
Shi Jingyi was immersed in love and took her father's words as a deaf ear. At this time, a matchmaker with a lot of style came to visit.
When Shi Jingyi first entered Northwest University, many matchmakers stepped through the threshold and came to ask for marriage, but Shi Fengxiang picked his nose and eyes, and no one was satisfied - his selfishness was naturally to keep his daughter by his side for a few more years.
Now I heard that it was a matchmaker visiting, and I was about to persuade him to retreat, but I found that the person who came was Hu Zongnan, the "King of the Northwest". It turned out that Jiang Weiguo accidentally mentioned his relationship with Shi Jingyi with Hu Zongnan, and wanted to find out about the Shi family through Hu Zongnan.
Who knew that Hu Zongnan intended to entrap Jiang Weiguo, and immediately gave Jiang Weiguo a package ticket: This matter is on me.
When Shi Fengxiang saw Hu Zongnan coming to the door with great fanfare, he still said "be a matchmaker", who is he a matchmaker for? The one who can invite Hu Zongnan to come out is by no means an ordinary official eunuch, and Shi Fengxiang has already made up his mind that his daughter will not marry far away, and the second will not marry, just want to live a stable life.
Hu Zongnan accepted Shi Fengxiang's tea, took a sip, and said slowly: "If the door is not right, the wrong person, I will definitely not come to the door to ask for this boring." You see, the second son of Chairman Jiang and the second lady of your mansion are still compatible? ”
When Shi Fengxiang heard this, his face changed slightly, and he finally exhaled: "It happened suddenly, I think, you better let us discuss it and then talk back to you." ”
Hu Zongnan couldn't hear the meaning of resistance: "Since ancient times, the marriage event, the life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, Manager Shi has thought about it carefully, I still have something to do here." Hu Zongnan didn't expect Shi Fengxiang's shelf to be so high, and he didn't succeed in his career, so he touched a nose of ash.
Shi Fengxiang, who had just checked Jiang Weiguo, was depressed, and it didn't take long for him to call Hu Zongnan and refuse this family business, and after that, Shi Jingyi became more and more strict.
However, one is the first love, the other is the passionate love, Shi Jingyi did not hesitate to buy the coachman, but also secretly ran to have a tryst with Jiang Weiguo, and even often stayed in Jiang Weiguo's dormitory.
She went to look for Jiang Weiguo more and more frequently, and her movements were not low-key, and soon, this matter was stabbed in front of Mrs. Shi. The former gentle and kind mother grabbed Shi Jingyi's arm and questioned her with tears on her face, all kinds of ugly swear words made Shi Jingyi breathless.
She was forbidden to go out. But what scares her the most is that she finds that something is wrong with her body: her menstrual period is delayed, and she retches from time to time. At this time, Jiang Weiguo went to Chongqing, but there was no news, Shi Jingyi was scared and became thinner and thinner.
Mrs. Shi found out that something was wrong with her daughter, and immediately wanted to find a doctor, but was held down by Shi Jingyi, Mrs. Shi saw Shi Jingyi nauseous and retching, her heart sank, and she knew that her daughter had caused ** annoyance.
She didn't scold at this time, as if she was heartbroken by Shi Jingyi: "You, you are really confused......."Mrs. Shi calmed down and told Shi Jingyi: "Don't think about marrying the kid of the Jiang family with this little guy in your belly, your father knows it, he will kill you first, and then kill that kid." ”
Shi Jingyi was so frightened that she shrank into a ball and asked her mother what to do. Mrs. Shi had no choice but to quietly take Shi Jingyi to the hospital and take the child out. However, this abortion operation caused Shi Jingyi to fall into a lifelong illness, and in the end, he died because of it.
Knotted wife: from turbulent times to difficult childbirth
After Jiang Weiguo returned to Xi'an, Shi Jingyi contacted the master, and on the same day, she came to the airport in the western suburbs, and when she saw Jiang Weiguo, she confided in her face that she had been suffering for several days. Jiang Weiguo was distressed after hearing this, and he strengthened his determination: he must marry Shi Jingyi.
In his letter to Chiang Kai-shek, he made it clear that he and Shi Jingyi were in love, and soon received a reply from Chiang Kai-shek: "Shimen's family affairs can be combined." ”
Jiang Weiguo took Chiang Kai-shek's handwritten letter, carried the dowry, personally came to the door, and asked Shi Fengxiang to marry, at this time Shi Jingyi also begged bitterly, Shi Fengxiang looked at his daughter's originally round face as thin as a day, he was unwilling, he could only nod.
On December 25, 1944, Jiang Weiguo and Shi Jingyi held a wedding, with Hu Zongnan as the officiant.
Soon after marriage, Jiang Weiguo took Shi Jingyi to the Hanzhong military camp, and he recalled that time in his later years, although it was bitter, but it was very sweet: "Jingyi is a rich lady, running around with me, with only a charcoal stove, two pots, one for cooking, one for cooking, she cooks every day without complaints." ”
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Jiang Weiguo and Shi Jingyi immersed themselves in peace and happiness, lingering in major balls, and the air force command post in charge of Wang Shuming often held balls next to the ruined temple where they lived, and the two danced together day and night.
Jiang Wei was the deputy commander of the armored corps, and Shi Jingyi was called "the commander's wife". She is young and beautiful, outgoing, pampered since childhood, and her temperament is quite eye-catching in the social field.
was very happy and sad, when the two went in and out of the major balls, Shi Jingyi had a miscarriage. Shi Jingyi was dancing at the time, and she had already found out that something was wrong, she told Jiang Weiguo about it, and the two returned home, but found that the abdominal pain was unbearable, and then went to the doctor, and the child who was still young could not be saved, which was a big blow to Shi Jingyi.
In 1949, when the Kuomintang evacuated the mainland, Shi Jingyi followed Jiang Weiguo to Taiwan, and at the same time, Shi Fengxiang's family also fled in a hurry, and before leaving, they only had time to move the equipment of the Shanghai Daqin Textile Factory to Taiwan, which was less than one-tenth of the Shi family's assets.
Therefore, after the Shi family arrived in Taiwan, the family's fortune plummeted, and there was no money left for Shi Jingyi to be in the limelight at the ball. For a long time, Shi Jingyi felt at a loss.
She has a general relationship with her father-in-law Chiang Kai-shek and eldest brother Chiang Ching-kuo, after all, she likes to "show up" too much compared with a good wife and mother-in-law like her sister-in-law Jiang Fangliang.
Jiang Weiguo and her are still close, but the two have been married for so many years, but they have not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter. In fact, Shi Jingyi has been pregnant many times, but whether it is unintentional or careful, it ends in habitual miscarriage.
Shi Jingyi has been seeking medical advice, but there is only one answer: he injured his body in his early years. Shi Jingyi has been in good health since she was a child, although she likes English and learns, but she was raised as half a boy, and after going to Taiwan, she likes to wear riding boots and drive out on the street by herself. The so-called injury to the body must be the first unplanned pregnancy, and the abortion operation is not standardized.
In 1952, this was Shi Jingyi's ninth pregnancy, and under the careful maintenance of her and Jiang Weiguo, the fetus was finally full-term. On October 31, a faint sorrow rose in Shi Jingyi's heart: the child in her belly had exceeded the due date by two weeks.
And on this day, it happened to be Chiang Kai-shek's birthday, and the Taipei City Armored Officers Club sang and danced, and late at night, Shi Jingyi suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen. Jiang Weiguo was just about to go out when he met Shi Jingyi, who was sweating profusely, and he immediately contacted Shi Jingyi's attending doctor.
The director of the obstetrics and gynecology hospital hurried to Jiang's house, but he only looked at it for a moment and asserted: "There is still some time before giving birth." At this time, Jiang Weiguo was anxious, he was in a hurry to greet the guests of the club, and he also prepared a program for his father: he personally conducted the orchestra.
But just as Shi Jingyi was about to give birth, he decided to send Shi Jingyi to the hospital first, and the maid at home went to check on Shi Jingyi's situation, this maid was Song Meiling's personal maid, as a person who had children, the maid found that Shi Jingyi's amniotic fluid had run out, and the birth door had been opened, she told Jiang Weiguo: "It's time, you can touch the child's hair when you reach out." ”
But the "experienced" dean insisted: "Now is not the time." When Jiang Weiguo decided to listen to the maid's words and send Shi Jingyi to the hospital first, the dean stopped him: "Are you a doctor, or am I a doctor?" Can't move now. ”
Jiang Weiguo saw the dean's tough attitude, and then looked at his wife who was sweating and tearing in pain, and thought that if he gave birth on the road, it would be really tricky. In the evening, the doctor came to see Shi Jingyi again, but still said that the time had not come, and gave her a growth agent.
That night, Jiang Weiguo didn't sleep all night, running between the club and the home, until five o'clock the next morning, he was shocked to find that the baby whose head could have been seen had shrunk back.
Jiang Weiguo grabbed the ** and hit the obstetrics and gynecology hospital: "Now, I have to send the mother over no matter what." Unexpectedly, the doctor took the initiative to drive to Jiang's house.
Jiang Weiguo looked at the dean who looked nervous and asked, "How is it?" The doctor was in tears and rushed to the balcony: "What will I do in the future?" I can't stay in Taipei! Jiang Weiguo hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The doctor wailed and told the terrible truth: "The child has been stillborn. ”
In the end, Shi Jingyi was sent to the hospital, and the child was clamped out by forceps, and Jiang Weiguo recalled at the end: "It's a daughter, and she looks very similar to Jingyi." ”
This difficult birth was fatal to both Shi Jingyi and Jiang Weiguo. Shi Jingyi's heart was in trouble and his body was getting weaker, so Jiang Weiguo was invited by the United States to visit and study the education of cadres related to the US Army.
At the end of the visit, he landed in Tokyo, Japan, and was ready to spend the night, but Jiang Weiguo received a telegram from Jiang Weichen: Jingyi is critically ill and will return quickly.
Jiang Weiguo left the group and immediately returned to Taiwan by civil aviation, but after returning to Taipei, Shi Jingyi had already died.
After Shi Jingyi's death, Jiang Weiguo spent all his savings to establish two schools, "Jingyi Girls' British College" and "Jingxin Primary School", to express his longing for his deceased wife.
