The husband wants to marry the right person, writes a letter and divorces the virtuous wife, and the wife replies with a word, making him feel guilty for a lifetime
The Republic of China was a period of constant collision between old and new ideas. Many advanced people abandoned old ideas and threw themselves into the revolutionary wave. Speaking of the Chinese revolution, Dr. Sun Yat-sen was the founder of the Republic of China. He spent his whole life trying to change the fate of his motherland. Dr. Sun Yat-sen made great contributions to the future of the motherland. His personal feelings in the marriage, however, were not satisfactory.
Lu Muzhen is the original match of Mr. Sun, and she chose to divorce Sun Yat-sen mainly for the sake of Mr. Sun's career, which also achieved the love between Mr. Sun and Soong Ching-ling, but never considered her own life. Lu Muzhen was born in 1867 in Xiangshan, Guangdong Province, to a wealthy family. Her early father, Lu Yaoxian, went to the United States to do business and achieved great success. Although Lu Muzhen is a rich woman, she has known the truth since she was a child and abided by the three virtues of women. She was a gentle lady. She was not spoiled like the children of other rich families, but industrious and filial to her parents, and her good reputation spread everywhere.
Lu Muzhen obeyed the orders of her parents and married Dr. Sun Yat-sen. At the time, she didn't know that her husband would do such an earth-shattering thing in the future. After Lu Muzhen married Sun Yat-sen, he took care of his parents wholeheartedly and fulfilled his filial piety. She was responsible for all the major and minor matters in the family. She also worked hard and complained. She supports her family alone and tries not to let Mr. Sun's family burden be too heavy. After the success of Sun Yat-sen's revolution, Rumuzhen's status rose. She went from being a housewife to "mother of the Republic of China", and revolutionaries praised Lu Muzhen's character.
Unfortunately, the fruits of the victory of the revolution were ruthlessly stolen by Yuan Shikai, and Sun Yat-sen had to go to Japan to reorganize his hands and seek great plans. At this time, Soong Ching-ling, who had long admired Sun Yat-sen, returned to Japan to visit relatives in the United States. She wanted to meet her idol and began working as Dr. Sun Yat-sen's English secretary in 1914. With the deepening of exchanges, Mr. Sun and Mr. Song Qingling have mutual feelings. Mr. Song Qingling often asked Mr. Sun for warmth. Under her careful care, Mr. Sun recalled Mr. Lu Muzhen who was far away in China. After careful consideration, he decided to write a letter inviting him to Japan to discuss divorce.
After Lu Muzhen received Mr. Sun's letter, she walked briskly. She was a traditional woman. In her heart, she had no objection to Mr. Sun's concubine. But according to his letter, Mr. Sun decided to marry a woman named Song Qingling, so as not to let Mr. Sun's family chores affect his plans for his homeland. I wrote back immediately. There was only one word on the letter: Yes. On September 1, 1915, Lu Muzhen came to Japan from China. Although Mr. Sun's colleagues opposed the divorce, Lu Muzhen gave up his expectations for Mr. Sun and agreed to divorce him.
Soong Ching Ling first received the news of Mr. Sun's divorce and rushed to Japan to marry Sun Yat-sen. People only know the depth of Sun Yat-sen's love for Soong Ching-ling, but they do not know that this is also above the basic morality of abandoning the original match.
