After the feet were good, Sun Wan asked Wang Boqiu to go out, and Wang Boqiu also had feelings for this lively and beautiful girl in front of him, Sun Wan looked very beautiful, her skin was white and flawless, like an egg that had been peeled off the shell, and she had a deep affection for herself, how could he not be moved?

Wang Boqiu and Sun Wan came to Shanghai with their 3-year-old daughter and 10-month-old son, left Sun Wan's mother and son in Sun Ke's home, and returned to Nanjing themselves, hoping to consult with their mother, Lady Yuan, about a solution.
When Wang Boqiu left, Sun Wan realized the seriousness of the matter, and the 23-year-old carried two young children and cried goodbye to Wang Boqiu, asking him to remember to come back, but Wang Boqiu really never returned.
Wang Boqiu's original match, Li Chengxiang, was the daughter of the former Qing prefect, virtuous and capable, and gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, the son was called Wang Jianyin, who was 18 years old at this time, and died suddenly due to illness not long ago, and Wang Boqiu felt even more embarrassed to open his mouth.
Wang Boqiu's younger brother Wang Zhongjun came up with the idea to bring Sun Wan's two children to Nanjing, let the old lady have feelings for these two children, and then slowly talk about the union with Sun Wan. In order to let Wang Boqiu divorce as soon as possible, Sun Wan nodded and agreed, and she handed over a pair of children to Wang Zhongjun to take from Shanghai to Nanjing.
Lady Yuan liked Sun Wan's two children very much, but after knowing the origin of the children, she was still furious, saying that Wang Boqiu and Li Chengxiang were absolutely not allowed to divorce, and Li Chengxiang married into the Wang family at the age of 16, never at fault, and contributed to the Wang family.
Wang Boqiu proposed that Li Chengxiang still live in Nanjing to serve Lady Yuan, and he and Sun Wan's family went to live in other places, but the stubborn Lady Yuan just did not agree, Wang Boqiu knelt on the stairs of his home for a night, but he could not help his mother, and finally he could not handle the divorce procedures, and he could not get the divorce papers, Sun Yat-sen would not agree to let him be a son-in-law, between the dilemmas, he could not return to Shanghai to reunite with Sun Wan, and the two children also stayed in the Wang family, raised by Li Chengxiang, and Wang Boqiu later stayed in Nanjing Southeast University to teach.

In 1929, Dainsai was appointed plenipotentiary minister in Brazil by the Nationalist government, and before leaving the country, Sun Wan wrote to her ex-husband, Wang Boqiu, who was then a legislator, hoping to meet her children.
Wang Boqiu knew that he was sorry for Sun Wan, so he begged his mother to take her son Wang Hongzhi and daughter Wang Xianghui to see Sun Wan, but Lady Yuan did not agree, but let him and his wife Li Chengxiang go to the agreed roof garden to meet Sun Wan, which was the first time that Sun Wan and Wang Boqiu had met after 10 years of separation, she did not see her children, she was very disappointed, but listened to Li Chengxiang say that her children were very smart and healthy, and then put her mind at ease.
Li Chengxiang was childless and regarded Wang Hongzhi as his own, and Wang Xianghui and Wang Hongzhi's sisters and brothers were young when they left Sun Wan, and they also regarded her as their biological mother.
When Wang Hongzhi was a teenager, he found a large envelope in his father's library, which read "A Daughter of a Cantonese", which was his father's handwriting. There were several photographs, one showing a young girl holding a child, and a picture of her father and the girl, but Wang Boqiu had died in 1944, so he could not ask about it.
He asked his uncle Wang Zhongjun, who told him that this was his birth mother, Sun Wan, the daughter of Sun Yat-sen, and told him not to tell anyone.
Wang Hongzhi and Li Chengxiang
After Li Chengxiang learned of this, he lied to him that Sun Wan had long since died and wanted to dispel Wang Hongzhi's idea of searching for his mother, when Sun Wan had already moved to Macao, and there was no communication between the mainland and overseas, so Wang Hongzhi also gave up the matter.
In 1967, Wang Hongzhi, a middle school teacher in Shanghai, received a letter from his sister Wang Xianghui, who had settled in Taiwan, and learned that Sun Wan was still alive.
Wang Xianghui said: "Mother misses you very much, your name is Haiping, I hope you will come to meet soon." But it was the Cultural Revolution, and he burned his sister's letter with tears.
In 1969, Wang Xianghui traveled to Macau to reunite with Sun Wan's mother and daughter who had been separated for many years.

In 1979, Wang Hongzhi's half-sister Dai Successfully came to the mainland from Macao to visit relatives, Wang Hongzhi's sister brought a family photo to her mother, 84-year-old Sun Wan looked at it with tears, and found a photo comparison when her son was born, sighing: "Old, old, only a few months apart, now an old man!"
They agreed that in July of that year, mother and son met, but unexpectedly, on June 11, Sun Wan was anxious and emotional, her blood pressure soared, and after the rescue was ineffective, she died for a long time, and finally she could not see her eldest son who had missed her for 60 years, and she was still calling for "Haiping" on her deathbed.
A helpless sad and joyful clutch is a young absurd act, but it is also a deep affection for the heart and blood.
