Early in the morning of January 13, 1988, Chiang Ching-kuo felt some discomfort after getting up, and the health doctor found that the problem was somewhat serious after checking the situation, and the guards immediately drove him to Taipei Veterans General Hospital, which was the highest level of medical care in Taiwan at that time, and many members of the Chiang family were treated and passed away here.
Chiang Ching-kuo was actually terminally ill, and even a doctor with superb medical skills could not return to heaven, and on the same day, Chiang Ching-kuo died. At Chiang Ching-kuo's funeral, the members of the Chiang family looked sad, and even Jiang Xiaowen, who had been paralyzed in bed for many years, came to worship his father in front of the spirit with the support of his family, and when he saw his father for the last time, he called out to his father vaguely in his mouth.

On April 14, 1989, Jiang Xiaowen, who had been ill for many years, died of throat cancer and followed in his father's footsteps at the age of 54. Jiang Fangliang had just sent away her husband the year before, and she was still immersed in grief and could not extricate herself, and she wanted to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, and the grief of losing her husband and son was the heaviest blow to a woman. Grief is greater than death, sorrow is more than silence, Jiang Fangliang lived in the pain of silence in his old age.
In 1925, Chiang Ching-kuo went to study in the Soviet Union, and because Chiang Ching-kuo was implicated in Chiang Kai-shek's rebellion and revolution, he was sent to Siberia as a private soldier, and later entered the Ural Heavy Machinery Factory to work, where he met the beautiful and kind Belarusian girl Fenna.
After a long period of contact, the two have feelings for each other, and each other believes that the other is the other half of the life together. In 1935, Chiang Ching-kuo and Finna's relationship came to an end, and the two held a simple wedding in the Soviet Union, and on December 14 of the same year, their first child was born and named Ellen.
Jiang Chingguo looked at the lovely Ellen and couldn't help but exude his father's love. In April 1937, Chiang Ching-kuo returned to China with his wife and children, and Chiang Kai-shek saw that his cute grandson of mixed race was overjoyed and showed a long-lost smile. The elderly are separated from each other, and the grandparents hurt the little grandson, which is a true portrayal of the ordinary people or the families of princes and nobles in China since ancient times.
Chiang Kai-shek, who adhered to the Chinese tradition, named Fenna Jiang Fangniang, but she could not accurately pronounce "niang" and said that Jiang Fangniang was Jiang Fangliang. According to Chiang Kai-shek's family tree, chiang kai-shek named his eldest grandson Jiang Xiaowen.
Mao Fumei couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw her son Jiang Chingguo, whom she had not seen for twelve years, and when she saw the blonde Jiang Fangliang and the clever and clever Jiang Xiaowen, she closed her mouth happily, and she held her grandson tightly in her arms.

After returning to China, Jiang Xiaowen got rid of the poor life of following his parents in the Soviet Union and gradually enjoyed everything that came with a prominent family lineage. Jiang Fangliang gave birth to Jiang Xiaozhang, Jiang Xiaowu, and Jiang Xiaoyong successively, but as the eldest grandson, Jiang Xiaowen was deeply loved by Chiang Kai-shek, and he hoped that Jiang Xiaowen would be able to continue the path of the Chiang family's political career in the future.
The Jiang family is a typical strict father and motherly family, although Chiang Ching-kuo's education of children is more strict, typical stick education, but he is busy with government affairs can not accompany the child every day, and Jiang Fangliang is more fond of the child, usually after Jiang Xiaowen brothers made a few mistakes, Jiang Chingguo severely reprimanded and even moved his hands, Jiang Fangliang was on the side to protect his son.
Even the most severe fathers usually show their tender side when facing their daughters, holding them in their hands for fear of falling, and holding them in their mouths for fear of melting. As the only daughter of Chiang Ching-kuo, Jiang Xiaozhang gathered thousands of favors in one, and he strictly reprimanded his sons and carefully cared for his daughters.
Jiang Xiaowen regards his sister Jiang Xiaozhang as his savior at home, as long as he makes a mistake and intercedes with his father in advance, let alone being beaten or even reprimanded, he will avoid it. Jiang Xiaowen once said:
"Whenever you want to be beaten, Xiaozhang is the only savior, as long as the sister persuades the father, the father will inevitably be discouraged, if the sister just does not exist, it will be finished!" 」

When the Chiang family retreated to Taiwan, Jiang Xiaowen was already fourteen years old, and the superior living environment, his mother's favor, and the flattery of the people around him made Jiang Xiaowen's vanity rapidly expand, gradually lost himself, and even began to do bad things from his father with the cooperation of the people around him.
One day in 1950, jiang Xiaowen had just pushed open the door when he returned home from school, and found his father sitting on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, looking at him with a gloomy face, and his mother sitting next to him looking a little cramped.
Jiang Xiaowen couldn't help but swallow and spit when he looked at this familiar scene, and he slowly walked over to Jiang Jingguo and called out to his father. Jiang Chingguo shouted at Jiang Xiaowen with great intensity:
"You kneel for me!"
A roar made Jiang Xiaowen sweat coldly, and he knew that this beating was inevitable.
Jiang Xiaowen immediately knelt down, his fingers trembling uncontrollably, and in the face of his father's questioning, he did not dare to hide any more, and told his father the truth of the matter in 1510, and experience told him that if he was still hard-mouthed, the beating would only be heavier.
It turned out that Jiang Xiaowen had performed extremely poorly in school, did not study well, and all his grades were in the lower reaches of the class, but his mind was smart, which was obviously the result of his unwillingness to work hard. Pan Zhenqiu, the principal of the successful middle school where Jiang Xiaowen studied, paid more attention to his study and wrote a letter to Jiang Chingguo, which was exactly Jiang Xiaowen's learning situation and performance in school.
The letter was sent out, but like a stone sinking into the sea, several months have passed since the incident has not been followed. Pan Zhenqiu thought that perhaps Chiang Ching-kuo was busy with official duties, so he visited and told Chiang Ching-kuo all of Jiang Xiaowen's performance, and mentioned the letter he had written before.
Jiang Chingguo looked dazed, because he had never seen the letter written by Pan Zhenqiu, so he ordered someone to check it. This investigation found that someone had obstructed it and hid the letter privately, and not only the letter was hidden, but also the transcripts of Jiang Xiaowen's many examinations, and the culprit was Jiang Xiaowen.

After Jiang Xiaowen knew that the principal had written the letter, he went to Chiang Ching-kuo's secretary and told him that if he had all the letters sent from the school, he should not let his father see them, and then secretly forwarded the letters to himself. After several operations, Jiang Xiaowen got a letter from Pan Zhenqiu to Jiang Jingguo and the transcripts of several of his own examinations.
The young man did not know how to study hard, but instead moved his bad thoughts, Jiang Chingguo was angry, picked up the feather duster next to him and pumped it fiercely towards Jiang Xiaowen's back, Jiang Fangliang was frightened by his sudden move, and rushed forward to dissuade him, afraid that Jiang Chingguo would not break the child lightly or seriously.
Chiang Ching-kuo's brutal education methods did not restrain Jiang Xiaowen's bohemian behavior, but on the contrary intensified. Once, when Jiang Chingguo returned home from work, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Jiang Xiaowen sitting on the sofa, holding a revolver and aiming at the door, Jiang Chingguo looked shocked, hurriedly bypassed the direction pointed by Jiang Xiaowen, went up and snatched the gun over, and a loud slap was slapped on Jiang Xiaowen's face.
, are guns casually played? If you just used your fingers, Lao Tzu's life would be gone! ”
Chiang Ching-kuo said angrily. Jiang Fangliang came out of the room and hurried to explain for Jiang Xiaowen:
"The gun was given by Grandpa Xiaowen."
Since it was a gift from his father, Chiang Ching-kuo was not able to say anything.
Jiang Chingguo originally thought that after his own severe reprimand, Jiang Xiaowen would not dare to touch the gun again, but he did not expect that it would not be long before Jiang Xiaowen ran into a catastrophe.

One day Jiang Xiaowen was leaning on the sofa in the living room, playing with the revolver given to him by his grandfather, and the guard Li Zhichu walked in, and Jiang Xiaowen looked up and aimed the muzzle of the gun at Li Zhichu:
"Don't move, raise your hands!"
Jiang Xiaowen was going to joke with Li Zhichu, but his fingers pulled the trigger between the yin and yang, and the gunshot sounded, and Li Zhichu fell in a pool of blood.
When the other guards heard the news, they all thought they had broken into the Assassins, and when they saw Li Zhichu, who had been shot on the ground, and Jiang Xiaowen, who was panicked, the revolver was thrown aside, and there was no one else in the room, and everyone suddenly understood that this stupid boy had caused a big disaster. They immediately sent Li Zhichu to the hospital for treatment, and the bullet was still a few centimeters away from the heart, but the consequences were unimaginable. This incident caused a certain sensation in Taiwanese society, but with Chiang Kai-shek's position of power, he finally suppressed the matter.
After Jiang Xiaowen was severely reprimanded by Chiang Ching-kuo again, he still went his own way and his temperament became more and more stubborn. He was driving a vehicle on the streets of Taipei City, and after being caught by the police and found that he was driving without a license, Jiang Xiaowen actually moved his hands on the police, and the police learned of his identity and released him.
It is precisely this privileged thinking of being the eldest of heaven and the second eldest that makes Jiang Xiaowen degenerate step by step. At the instigation of some fox friends, Jiang Xiaowen smoked and drank heavily, and was keen on the places where the lights were red and green, and his health was not very good in the first place, so it was even worse.
Chiang Kai-shek saw that Jiang Xiaowen did not obey discipline in the school, and simply sent him to the Fengshan Army Officers' School in Kaohsiung for training.

However, contrary to his wishes, the strict military system failed to bind Jiang Xiaowen, and he still provoked misconduct. Jiang Xiaowen once had a big fight with others in the dance hall because of his dance partner, and no one could do anything to him because of his background, and Chiang Kai-shek had no choice but to let him withdraw from the military academy after hearing about his grandson's bad deeds.
Jiang Chingguo looked at his indisputable son disheartened, and Jiang Xiaowen, as the eldest son, was pinned high hopes on and was trained as the successor of the Jiang family's future political cause, but now that it has become like this, Chiang Ching-kuo said bitterly:
"They all say that the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty are all scum, and I thought it was just a slander against the stupid disciples, but now I didn't expect it to be my son's turn!"
After much deliberation, Chiang Ching-kuo decided to send Jiang Xiaowen to study in the United States.
In 1955, Jiang Xiaowen flew to the United States to study at the University of San Francisco, and the unruly life abroad made him more unscrupulous, bars and cafes became his frequent places, and just when he was living unfettered and bored, he met the important women in his life. Two years after arriving in the United States, Jiang Xiaowen met Xu Naijin in San Francisco, who was studying at the University of California, Berkeley.

Xu Naijin's grandfather, Xu Xilin, was an anti-Qing righteous soldier and a major member of the Guangfu Society, organized and led the Anqing Uprising, and was unfortunately arrested and heroically righteous. Xu Naijin's father Xu Xuewen studied in Germany in the early days, his mother was a German named Xu Manli, Xu Xuewen founded a pharmaceutical factory after returning to China, and continued to engage in industrial operations in Taiwan.
Jiang Xiaowen is two years older than Xu Naijin, the two families are not far apart, they are playmates together, and it is a different feeling to be reunited in a foreign country. Jiang Xiaowen found that Xu Naijin, who had not been seen for several years, was already a big girl with a good ending, Xu Naijin looked at Jiang Xiaowen, who was also a mixed-race child, and couldn't help but secretly agree, people who knew each other were reunited again, and naturally walking together was the matter of breaking the window paper.
In 1960, Jiang Xiaowen and Xu Naijin married in the United States, and the Jiang family who learned the news was overjoyed, and Chiang Ching-kuo also hoped that his son would start a family as soon as possible, and someone should manage him for himself, and he should also let his heart receive it. In 1961, Jiang Xiaowen and Xu Naijin's daughter Jiang Youmei was born, and the Jiang family became the same hall of the fourth generation, and Chiang Kai-shek was so happy that he could not close his mouth.

After returning to Taiwan, Chiang Ching-kuo once again placed high hopes on Jiang Xiaowen, hoping that he would fight steadily and steadily, first by making him the chairman of the Taoyuan County Party Department, and later working for the Taiwan Electric Power Company, where he was promoted to director of the sales office.
When he first came to work in the power department, the person in charge, Sun Yunxuan, also made rules for Jiang Xiaowen, saying:
"The power guarantee is very important, I hope you will go to work on time in the future!"
Many people pinched sweat for Sun Yunxuan, and Jiang Xiaowen's family background was known to everyone, not to mention that he was a chaotic demon king, and he was not sure to eat good fruit. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaowen respectfully replied:
"Got it."
When Jiang Xiaowen went to work at the Taoyuan District Management Office of the Taiwan Electric Power Company, he found that many arrears in electricity bills had not been urged to be returned, and some were even owed by relatives and military camps. Jiang Xiaowen relied on his connections, and all the arrears after a few phone calls were asked back, and his performance rose sharply, ranking first in various business departments.
Many people thought that the former Chaos Demon King had undergone a complete change, but later found out that there was a change, but it had reached the point where it was difficult to return, so much so that Chiang Ching-kuo commented on Jiang Xiaowen:
"Filial piety is confused."
It was precisely because of his bad habits that led to the tragedy of the second half of his life.
Jiang Xiaowen has family inherited diabetes and needs to take medication on time and in quantity to control blood sugar. Jiang Xiaowen failed to change the problem of alcoholism, one day in 1970 he bought a drunken drink with a fox dog friend, and the hangover caused him to not control his blood sugar by drinking medicine, and he has been in a coma, and his family thought that he drank too much and fell asleep. When it was found that the situation was not good and sent to the hospital for treatment, Jiang Xiaowen's brain stem cells had been damaged, resulting in paralysis in bed, intelligence like a five- or six-year-old child, and his speech was also difficult to hear.
After Jiang Chingguo learned of Jiang Xiaowen's situation, he came to his son's sickbed and said to Jiang Xiaowen with tears in his eyes full of guilt:
"Daddy I'm sorry for you!"
Jiang Xiaowen looked at Jiang Chingguo in a daze and shouted incoherently:
"Daddy, Daddy."
Pictured: Chiang Ching-kuo and Chiang Fang-liang
Chiang Ching-kuo blamed himself for believing that he had inherited diabetes to his son, which caused his son to be paralyzed in bed and mentally retarded. However, the tragic experience of his son did not make him have an epiphany, and in his later years, Jiang Chingguo also took medicine according to his own mood, and when he was happy, he ate the medicine, and when he was unhappy, he simply threw the medicine into the trash can.
The health doctor told Chiang Ching-kuo to be jealous, and he said to the doctor:
"Eating is my business, healing is your business."
Sometimes even because he was not afraid of eating, the doctor saw that he had eaten something he should not eat, so he rushed to inject him with insulin, and later the doctor judged that Chiang Ching-kuo's sudden death had something to do with his failure to follow the doctor's advice.
Since 1970, Jiang Xiaowen has been lying in bed for nineteen years, and every day he eats and drinks Lhasa is taken care of by his wife Xu Naijin and his nanny. It is precisely because of the indulgence of his youth that it has caused the bitter fruit of the second half of his life, and the conscious Jiang Xiaowen will definitely regret his negligence.
Jiang Xiaowen sent away his grandfather Chiang Kai-shek, and then sent his father Chiang Ching-kuo, especially the death of his father, which was a heavy blow to his original fragile spirit and accelerated his illness. Jiang Xiaowen, who had been plagued by illness for a long time, eventually suffered from throat cancer, and after nineteen years of struggling with the disease, he closed his eyes forever on April 14, 1989.

As a representative figure in the third generation of men in the Jiang family, Jiang Xiaowen's death is like opening Pandora's box, it seems that there is some magic spell hanging over the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Xiaowu and Jiang Xiaoyong have died of illness within a few years, both less than fifty years old.
Jiang Xiaowen, who was born with a golden key, has appreciated all kinds of things brought by power since he was a child, and it is precisely because it is extremely easy to obtain that he will not cherish it, so that he finally developed an unruly personality, resulting in tragedy. Everything in the world has cause and effect, and all have reincarnation.
