Song Qingling was seriously ill in his later years and asked Song Meiling to return to China to see the last side, and Song Meiling only replied with 4 words

On May 29, 1981, Song Qingling died of illness, and on her deathbed, she hoped that her little sister Song Meiling would come to see her for the last time. But in the early days, the contradictions between the two for various reasons forced the two to break up and never had contact for many years. But blood is thicker than water, sisterhood is deep, and no matter how big the contradiction cannot eliminate this strong family affection, so before his death, Song Qingling finally pulled down his face and sent a telegram to Song Meiling, hoping that Song Meiling could come to visit him. But in the end, there was no satisfactory result. After the telegram was sent, Song Meiling only replied with four words: the letter was received. It was not stated whether he would go to visit, and in the end, until Song Qingling died of illness, Song Meiling did not appear at the funeral. 01 Women in the New Era - "Three Sisters of the Song Family" When it comes to the Republic of China, the "Three Sisters of the Song Family" will inevitably become a major focus. At the end of the 19th century, the three sisters of the Song clan, Song Xialing, Song Qingling and Song Meiling, were born in a wealthy merchant family in Shanghai. Because the family was wealthy and the parents had their foresight, the three sisters had gone abroad to study under the arrangement of the family, so they had the latest trend of ideas at that time and were veritable female representatives of the new era. The eldest sister Song Yiling met a wealthy foreign businessman because of studying abroad and married him, so she stayed abroad for most of her life. The second sister, Soong Ching Ling, met Sun Yat-sen through her eldest sister Song Yiling, and later the two formed a connection, because of her husband, as well as her own faith and pursuit of communism, Soong Ching Ling has struggled for the cause of the communist revolution all her life. The little sister Song Meiling is also the most pampered by the family because she is the youngest. After she returned from studying abroad, with the help of her second sister Song Qingling, she joined the Shanghai YWCA and became one of the English teachers... During this period, the relationship between the three sisters was still very good. 02 Song Meiling chased after Chiang Kai-shek, the sisters gradually became suspicious and watched the eldest sister and the rich businessman combine, the second sister resolutely decided to marry Sun Yat-sen in exile despite the opposition of her family, and Song Meiling was also full of expectations for love. In 1920, when Soong Mei-ling met Chiang Kai-shek for the first time, he was enthusiastically pursued by Chiang Kai-shek. In the face of such a family as the Song family, whether it is financial or material, it is the best choice for Chiang Kai-shek, who is bent on becoming the ruler of the country. Therefore, under the fierce attack of Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Mei-ling, who was full of expectations for love, soon fell into it. In this regard, Soong Ching Ling is strongly opposed, because the political position of her husband and Chiang Kai-shek at this time has changed, and contradictions will inevitably arise in the future, which will make it difficult for them to do it as sisters. Moreover, at that time, Chiang Kai-shek also had a wife and a concubine, which also made it difficult for everyone to accept the combination of the two of them. As for the attitude of the eldest sister Song Haoling, it is diametrically opposed to the second sister Song Qingling. Because Song Yiling and her husband are doing business overseas, it is naturally best to have a brother-in-law like Chiang Kai-shek who can help them get through relations at home and abroad. So in the face of opposition and approval, Jiang and Song held a wedding ceremony at the Dahua Hotel in Shanghai on December 1, 1927. As for the marriage of the younger sister Soong Mei-ling to Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Ching-ling strongly opposed it, so he did not attend their wedding. Because the wedding did not have the blessing of the second sister, Song Meiling was also very sad in her heart, and at this moment, Chiang Kai-shek had a great opinion on Soong Qingling. But even if Song Qingling firmly opposed it, the marriage between the two has become a fact. In daily life, she still pays attention to her little sister's affairs. In an interview, Song Qingling once praised the little sister Song Meiling for promoting China's practices to foreigners. At this point, the sisterhood was slightly eased. 03 Different positions, the sisters eventually turned against each other, although the relationship between the two sisters has been eased, but because of the difference between marriage and their own political positions in the home country, the contradictions between the two are still intensifying. Soong Ching Ling and her husband Sun Yat-sen admired the Communist Party, running around for the cause of communism, even if it was full of dangers. As The wife of Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Mei Ling also tried her best to run for her husband politically, and she had traveled to the United States many times for the Kuomintang's idea of "counter-attacking the mainland", and she had become a follower of Chiang Kai-shek. The former sisters eventually stood on the opposite side and became enemies of each other, and the friendship has long ceased to exist. But during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, things took a turn for the better. Song Meiling took advantage of the opportunity to go to Hong Kong for medical treatment and met with her eldest sister and second sister. A month later, Song Qingling came to Chongqing at the invitation of Song Meiling, and Song Qingling thought from the perspective of China and decided to abandon his previous suspicions and go to the country together. Within a few weeks of Yamashiro, the three sisters were able to reunite, traveled together to visit the affected areas to comfort the wounded and refugees, made several donations, and analyzed the situation of the Japanese army at that time. Even so, the situation could not be changed in the end, because the gap between political positions could not be crossed, and their relationship had reached an impasse the moment Chiang Kai-shek tore up the Double Tenth Agreement. Although Song Meiling and Soong Ching Ling have torn their faces, she and Soong Yi Ling have maintained a long-term friendly relationship, because the business done by the eldest sister's family still depends on Chiang Kai-shek. At the same time, the relationship between the eldest sister and Song Qingling is not very good. 04 Heaven and earth are separated by two, people are over, and the love is not over In 1973, Song Xialing died, but the husband's family did not invite Song Qingling to come to the funeral. Song Qingling was also very sad about this. At this time, because of his old age, Song Qingling also sensed that his body was deteriorating. Recalling her sister's feelings for many years, she could not forget for a long time, so before she died, she pulled down her face and sent a telegram to Song Meiling, asking her to come and see her last side, but in the end, only Song Meiling's four words "letter received" were waiting. On May 29, 1981, Song Qingling died in Beijing, and he could not wait for his little sister until his death, nor could he wait for the day when the two sisters reconciled. 05 Summary: Is Song Meiling really so disregarding sisterhood? Long after Song Qingling's death, Song Meiling lived in self-blame. Some people will think, if you care, why should you do this? In this regard, Song Meiling once replied that "although the flesh and bones are close, the road is heavy." We all know that after Chiang Kai-shek's death, Soong Mei-ling has been living in the United States, and no matter how much her family persuaded her, she did not return, and even after her death, she was buried in the United States. After Chiang Kai-shek fled, she was already doomed to the fate of this life. There are tens of millions of changes in the world, even if the blood is thicker than the water sisterhood, in the turbulent life will eventually form an insurmountable gap, even if the family affection can not be separated, but time will not be reunited, some things, miss is missed ... There is still a long way to go, and we should cherish everything in the present. The picture comes from the network, if there is infringement, contact to delete!
