Chiang Kai-shek had a hobby, which was to write a diary. In his diary, there is such a passage: Whether it is the lunar calendar or the solar calendar, as long as it is the death day of the mother, he will not be angry at will, eat and pray the Buddha, and do not casually put on his face, so that he can achieve filial piety in the true sense. Chiang's life was greatly influenced by his mother, and he would come to the temple to worship his deceased mother every Qingming season, and after retiring to Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek built a temple for his mother on the Sun Moon Lake, in order to express his longing for his mother
Jiang's mother's real name is Wang Caiyu, and the Ancestors of the Wang family made a living by selling local specialties, and came to the barbaric land to reclaim and make a fortune during the demographic change, and later returned to their hometown to marry and have children. Wang Caiyu's father died early, and since then declined, the young Wang Caiyu can only rely on needle and thread to feed his younger brothers, the younger brother was born with a disease, the second brother usually loves gambling, not doing the right thing. Wang Caiyu inherited the advantages of her father and was more intelligent. However, fate is uncertain, the father died early, and the family declined. Since then, the life of the Wang family has been difficult every day, seeing that Wang Caiyu has reached an age suitable for marriage, his mother has found a family affair for him, married to the Zhu family, and at first life was quite harmonious, but the husband was an acute son, often just because of some small things but quarreled.
After a long time, her husband began to scold Wang Caiyu, and Wang Caiyu also endured it one after another. Soon after the marriage, she gave birth to a child for her husband, and the family was immersed in joy. But fate seemed to have played a joke on her again, and the child soon fell ill and died. It seems that Wang Caiyu's unfortunate momentum did not stop there, and soon after the plague occurred again, her husband was also unfortunate to be infected with the plague, that is, he died. Disheartened, Wang Caiyu returned to his mother's house and prepared to live with his mother and brother. The young Wang Caiyu encountered many unpleasant things one after another, and the people around her naturally pointed out to her, so she had the idea of a nun in her heart.
Not long after staying in her mother's house, a nun in a nearby temple died, and just when her mother had a good relationship with this nun, she called Wang Caiyu to go to worship together, and Wang Caiyu, who originally had the idea of becoming a monk, begged her mother to let her convert to Buddhism. Wang Caiyu came to the head of the temple and informed her of what had happened over the years, and the leader was very sympathetic to her after hearing about it. Her mother was very opposed to Wang Caiyu's move, after all, Wang Caiyu was not very old, and after several persuasions, Wang Caiyu still had a firm belief, and her mother had to let her come to the temple to practice. Life in the temple is particularly calm and indisputable.
When Wang Caiyu was in the temple, a fortune teller came to him, hoping that she would be able to return to the world and be rich and noble in the future. Wang Caiyu did not take this person's words to heart, it seemed that this Wang Caiyu did have a relationship with the Jiang family, and the relatives were doing odd jobs in the Jiang family's shop, and it was this relative who succeeded in getting Wang Caiyu to marry the Jiang family. After coming to the Jiang family, his life was relatively peaceful, and he also gave birth to a son and two daughters for the Jiang family, but only the son survived. A few years later, Wang Caiyu's husband died of illness, so Wang Caiyu believed the fortune teller's words and raised his son, whose son was Chiang Kai-shek.
Jiang was able to read books from a young age, Wang Caiyu did not care about the high tuition fees at that time, many ways to find good teachers to teach him, Jiang was different when he was a teenager, did not want to be like others in the examination. When he saw the feudal corruption of the Qing Dynasty, he told his mother to apply for a military school. Wang Caiyu was also very supportive of Jiang's decision. Wang Caiyu saved money and sent him to Japan. In Japan, Chiang became acquainted with many revolutionary comrades and deeply felt the incompetence of the Qing government, so he joined the League and engaged in revolutionary activities with Sun Yat-sen and others, but unfortunately, before Chiang Kai-shek's great cause was accomplished, his mother died of illness.
