Speaking of Sun Dianying, many people are not unfamiliar with him, as one of the warlords of the chaotic world of the Republic of China, Sun Dianying is most criticized by people, he once stole the Qing Tombs, the impact is extremely bad. Sun Dianying, who stole the Tanglin Tombs, probably would not have thought that his son had done the opposite of him, and if Sun Dianying was still alive, he should feel ashamed.
Sun Dianying was born poor, and later joined the army in the chaotic world, because Sun Dianying would come to do things, dare to break through, and have the courage to know people, he soon gained prestige, pulled up a team of his own, and gained a firm foothold in the chaotic world. After that, Sun Dianying was first absorbed by the warlord Zhang Zongchang and served as the commander of the 14th Army, and then turned to Lao Jiang as the commander of the 12th Army.
Why would such a warlord think of stealing and digging up the TangLin Tombs? In 1928, Sun Dianying was ordered to pursue Ma Futian, a habitual bandit of the Feng army who had fled to Malanyu, and when his troops marched from Jixian County to Malanyu, they happened to pass by the Qing Tombs in the middle.
The palatial Qing Tombs immediately attracted the attention of Sun Dianying. There are two reasons why Sun Dianying dared to steal the Qing Dongling Tombs: First, most of his military expenses had to be self-financed, which made him feel a lot of pressure; second, the Qing Dynasty royal family at that time had been driven out of the Forbidden City, and the Qing Dongling Tombs were not guarded at all, which just gave Sun Dianying the opportunity.
The treasure buried with the Qing Dongling Tomb, Sun Dianying is very clear, if it can be excavated will be a considerable amount. In the chaotic world, having money means that someone has guns and food, and the huge temptation makes Sun Dianying unable to refuse. Finally, Sun Dianying made up his mind to steal the Tanglin Tombs.
The specific operation was that Sun Dianying, under the guise of military exercises, ordered people to be martial law within a 30-mile radius of the Qing Dynasty's Eastern Tombs, and idle people were not allowed to enter. At the same time, more than 30 large vehicles were requisitioned in the local area and pulled to the Qing Dynasty Tombs on the pretext of transporting military food. After some preparations, Sun Dian's troops carried out a frenzied excavation of the Qing Tombs.
The pearls, jadeite, ivory, jade, calligraphy and paintings and other treasures stolen from the Qing Tombs are countless, and it is said that they were transported for 3 days and 3 nights. Soon, the news that Sun Dianying had stolen the Qing Tombs did not go away, and for a time he was accused by the whole country, especially the descendants of the Qing Dynasty royal family, and demanded that Sun Dianying be severely punished.
However, because Sun Dianying was doing everything around, many people benefited from the theft of the Qing Tombs, and the matter was eventually over. After that, Sun Dianying worked hard until he was captured in 1947 and died in a war criminals shelter. Nowadays, when everyone mentions Sun Dianying, almost immediately they will think of his theft of the Tanglin Tombs.
So what did Sun Dianying do after his death? What is surprising is that the warlord who stole the Tanglin tomb gave birth to a son with a very personal personality, and his son did the exact opposite to him.
Sun Dianying's son, Sun Tianyi, was born in 1931, and sun Tianyi was 16 years old when Sun Dianying died. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Sun Tianyi taught at xi'an Foreign Chinese College, cultivating many outstanding foreign language talents for China and translating a large number of Western masterpieces.
Sun Tianyi actually has another identity: the president of the Yellow Emperor Mausoleum Foundation. In 1959, Sun Tianyi visited the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum for the first time, and he was deeply shocked by it, and a sense of national pride sprang up. But at the same time, seeing the dilapidation of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum in disrepair, he was very distressed, so Sun Tianyi decided to repair the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum.
In 1992, Sun Tianyi organized the establishment of the Yellow Emperor Mausoleum Foundation, and was elected as the president of the foundation, through fundraising and funding, opened the protection and restoration of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, which has the newly renovated Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum that we can see today.
This seems to be predestined in the dark, the father digging the mausoleum, the son protecting the mausoleum, and the father and son doing the exact opposite.
