Speaking of the Republic of China period, the most famous newborn woman, the "Three Sisters of the Song Family", can be said to be a household name, and everyone knows it. Whether it is their own talents or their love life, they have been used as talking points in the Republic of China period and the current society. There are even many women who are extremely envious of their love and want to be like them.
But in fact, in the Republic of China, the Song family is not only the "Three Sisters of the Song Family" household name, the deeds of the 6 children of the Song family in the modern period of Our country are well-known, shining, each of them with their own talents and abilities to make a lot of contributions to the society at that time.
I think many people will also be curious about what kind of family it is, what kind of parents can raise so many excellent children, but in fact, their mother is a big family's beard. It is such a woman who personally created the first giant of the Republic of China, she is Ni Guizhen. So what kind of efforts and efforts did she make to create the first giant at that time?
Although she was a woman, she received a good education in that era
Ni Guizhen was born in 1869 in Yuyao County, Zhejiang Province. Her father was the earliest priest who believed in Jesus, and her mother's ancestor was Xu Guangqi, a ming dynasty scholar, so the husband and wife have always attached great importance to Ni Guizhen's education, so Ni Guizhen has been in school since she was a child, and has never stopped. Moreover, he has always received Western education, and his thinking is also very open and progressive.
Ni Guizhen has lived in a family full of love and freedom since she was a child, her parents have always loved Ni Guizhen very much, and the family economic situation is very good, so Ni Guizhen's childhood is full of happiness and freedom.
Even if there was still a bad habit of women wrapping small feet in China at that time, Ni Guizhen would be unwell as long as she wrapped her feet, so her parents did not bind her feet. Born in such a family, Ni Guizhen's future is destined to be different from others.
Ni Guizhen grew up beautiful and smart when she was a child, and after years of cultivation by her parents, she has been proficient in Yang Wen since she was a child and can also play the piano.
Although in that era belonged to the boudoir woman, but it was very far-sighted, bold and careful, for the future, for their own marriage and love, have their own ideas, although in that era, it is difficult for a woman without a small foot to marry, she does not care, she always firmly believes that the person who really loves him and understands her will not be limited to the bad habits of the old society.
In this way, even if in the eyes of others she is not a good person to marry, is a person who cannot be married, she does not care, and has never regretted it.
In order to give the best education to the children, become the squirrel of the big family
Life has not forgotten this hard-working woman, in 1887, Ni Guizhen met the lover of her life. At that time, Song Jiashu was unhappy with the Qing Dynasty and the United States because he preached new ideas to his classmates, taught the American Revolutionary War, and preached President Lincoln's ideas on democracy and freedom, so he was repeatedly frustrated in his career.
In this way, Song Jiashu was depressed and unspiring to meet Ni Guizhen, who was also because of his big feet, and no one dared to marry him, because of Ni Guizhen's beauty and generosity, song Jiashu fell in love at first sight.
Later, Song Jiashu and Ni Guizhen began a happy married life, but because Song Jiashu was harassed and restricted everywhere, his salary was not high, so the daily expenses of the family were sometimes a problem.
But Ni Guizhen did not despair of Song Jiashu because of such a situation, but always believed that their lives would get better and better. With the birth of 6 children, the family's expenses are increasing, in order to make the family's life less difficult, she chose to go to Shanghai's richest merchant to be a maid.
Because of her experience since childhood, Ni Guizhen clearly knows that no matter how tight life is, she cannot ignore the education of children, because only education can make children have more choices and hopes for their future. So when the children are very young, she will buy some children's books to teach them to read and read.
Although Ni Guizhen has always attached great importance to the education of children, she has not fully controlled her children's lives like ordinary parents, and Ni Guizhen is more about cultivating their awareness of some rules and learning to choose.
Because her education from an early age is extremely enlightened, Ni Guizhen has always told her children that men and women are equal, and women can also make contributions to the country like men.
And for the Song family, the children of the Song family have gone to study and live abroad since they were young, which can make the children better understand, know themselves, and know where their future direction is. Therefore, Ni Guizhen's 6 children also follow the family tradition, from the very beginning, they decided their own lives and were responsible for their own lives.
In this family, not only Ni Guizhen is working hard for the education of her children, Song Jiashu is also paying for the changes in the family, Song Jiashu does not want to see his wife pay so hard for the family, so he uses his wife's dowry to start working outside.
And he eventually through his own efforts, he gradually became a well-known industrialist in Shanghai Beach, using his own practical actions to give his wife and this family a port to rely on.
Whether it is Ni Guizhen or Song Jiashu, no matter how hard life is, she has never given up the education of her children, just like Ni Guizhen, even if she is a bridesmaid, she has not suffered any hardships since she was a child, but she is also willing to be a maid, just so that her 6 children can receive the best education.
Teach by example and create the first giant of the Republic of China
Ni Guizhen's education of children has always been by example and taught by example. The final achievement of his 6 children is the best affirmation of the careful cultivation of Ni Guizhen and Song Jiashu.
Song Ziwen was a graduate student at Harvard University, and he was also an extremely famous diplomat and financier in the society at that time; Song Ziliang successively served as the director of the General Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the general manager of China Construction Bank, and even later founded the China Automobile Manufacturing Company; Song Zian was the chairman of China National Goods Corporation and the main person in charge of The Bank of Guangzhou.
In addition to these three sons, the achievements of the "Three Sisters of the Soong Family" were even more dazzling among the women at that time, Song Yiling was the first batch of women to study in the United States, and she was proficient in five languages, Soong Ching Ling followed Sun Yat-sen to dedicate her life to the revolution, and Song Meiling was a crucial person on the political stage at that time.
Such a family, such an achievement, to be called the first giant of the Republic of China is by no means far-fetched. Ni Guizhen used her own behavior and way of doing things to educate her children, she hopes that their future can make contributions to the country, there are more choices, and it turns out that she has done it. With such a mother, how can her own child not be outstanding?
For Ni Guizhen, she has spent her life maintaining the family and inspiring her children. The 6 children of the Song family have also become the pillars of the country.
And it is precisely because of her that the Song family has changed from the original life of poverty to the later magnate, which is closely related to Ni Guizhen. Sometimes, for children, the most important teacher in life is their parents, and it is precisely because of such parents that the "Song family" at that time was established as the first magnate in the Republic of China.
