Her whole life seems to be always careful to echo others, without her own life and without the right to speak. She is Chiang Kai-shek's daughter-in-law "Chiang Fangliang", in fact, she did not originally call this name, but also because she married the Chiang family, Chiang Kai-shek gave her this name.
For the domestic standards for daughters-in-law at that time, Jiang Fangliang can also be regarded as a perfect Chinese daughter-in-law, she does not ask about political affairs, stays at home, filial piety to her in-laws, and takes care of her husband and children. However, for a woman, Jiang Fangliang's life can be described as unfortunate. After the death of her husband Jiang Jingguo, Jiang Fangliang's three sons and sons also died early, and her life was lonely and miserable.
First, Jiang Fangliang's life is explained
Jiang Fangliang, whose original name was Fenna, was once a high-ranking Russian nobleman. But because of this special status, her father, like other nobles, was imprisoned by the Soviet government in concentration camps and carried out labor camps every day. Poor Jiang Fangliang lost his parents when he was a child, and he could only rely on his sister for his life.
The Jiang Fangliang sisters are still children, and they do not have the ability to make money and live a good life. Jiang Fangliang lived a life of poverty, so poor that he only had money for one meal. The former aristocratic life gave Jiang Fangliang a good educational environment, and later he did not give up on himself because of the change in his living environment, but worked hard to study and strive to change his destiny.
Second, Jiang Fangliang's love story
Jiang Fangliang fell in love with an oriental man who was completely different from himself, and this person was Chiang Ching-kuo, the son of Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Ching-kuo was studying in the Soviet Union at the time, and was originally elected as a party member because of his good performance, but he was implicated by his father. Chiang Ching-kuo announced in public at school that he had drawn a line with his father, Chiang Kai-shek, but did not get the Soviet government to let down its guard.
Within a few years, Chiang Ching-kuo was exiled to Siberia by the Soviet Union and worked in factories. It was also at this time that Jiang Chingguo met Jiang Fangliang, who was also a female worker in this factory, when she was only 17 years old.
At this time, Jiang Fangliang knew that only by working hard could he survive in the chaotic world with his sister, so compared to girls of the same age, Jiang Fangliang was a little too mature and stable. Although Chiang Ching-kuo was exiled to the factory, because of his good grades and good performance in school, he was not an ordinary employee, but a deputy director.
As the deputy director of the factory, Jiang Chingguo noticed this different girl and often took care of her. Jiang Fangliang, who had not been taken care of for a long time, felt this warmth and gradually developed a good feeling for Jiang Jingguo, and the two came and went together. In March 1935, Chiang Ching-kuo and Jiang Fangliang were officially married, and in December the eldest son, Jiang Xiaowen, was born.
I thought that love would support their lives and their lives would get better and better, but after only a year, Chiang Ching-kuo was suspended. At this time, the family of three was supported by Jiang Fangliang alone, and life became more and more difficult, and later Chiang Kai-shek brought words to his son Chiang Ching-kuo and asked his son to find a way to return to China.
In fact, Chiang Ching-kuo also wanted to go home, but he was no longer alone. It turned out that it was convenient for them to go anywhere by themselves, and now that they have a family, can they really adapt to bringing their sons and daughters-in-law back? However, in Jiang Fangliang's heart, it is a traditional female idea, and she is very willing to live with her husband, so they embark on a journey back to China.
3. Jiang Fangliang's Life in China
Because Chiang Ching-kuo had declared a clear line with his father Chiang Kai-shek when he was in the Soviet Union, Chiang Kai-shek did not give them a good look after Chiang Ching-kuo and his wife returned to China. Therefore, Chiang Ching-kuo came to his birth mother with his wife and son. Compared with her father's indifference, her birth mother is very fond of this foreign daughter-in-law, not only teaching her to speak dialects, but also teaching her to cook hometown dishes, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along very well.
Slowly, his father-in-law Chiang Kai-shek accepted this foreign daughter-in-law, and Jiang Fangliang also adapted to life in China and completed his own life transformation. However, at this time, Chiang Ching-kuo betrayed the family, cheated on his wife's Chinese teacher Zhang Yaruo, and had a child.
Chiang Ching-kuo wanted Zhang Yaruo to enter the door, but Chiang Kai-shek did not agree until Zhang Yaruo gave birth to a child, and Chiang Kai-shek did not let go. Jiang Fangliang heard some rumors, but he did not know the specific situation, and only felt that her husband was gradually becoming indifferent. Jiang Fangliang wanted to win back her husband's heart by having children, and in 1945 and 1948, he gave birth to his second son Jiang Xiaowu and his third son Jiang Xiaoyong.
Zhang Yaruo gave birth to a pair of twin sons and died mysteriously, and there are rumors that Chiang Kai-shek sent someone to assassinate her. But all this means nothing to Chiang Ching-kuo, who can find his next lover. And Jiang Fangliang was also miserable in this failed marriage.
4. Widows for the rest of their lives
In 1978, Chiang Ching-kuo became Taiwan's sixth leader, and Chiang Fang-leung became a veritable first lady. Even so, Jiang Fangliang still maintained a simple living habit, like ordinary housewives, not talking about politics and not showing his face.
In 1988, Chiang Ching-kuo died in Taiwan due to worsening diabetes. Although Jiang Fangliang knew that her husband was unfaithful to the marriage, she always loved Chiang Ching-kuo and did not allow others to say that her husband was not. After Chiang Ching-kuo's death, Jiang Fangliang was deeply saddened and often went to the place where Chiang Ching-kuo lived before his death to remember it. It is said that Chiang Ching-kuo left only 20 months' wages for his wife and children, about 1.15 million Taiwan dollars.
In 1989, Jiang Fangliang, who had not yet come out of the pain of widowhood, suffered the pain of losing his son again. The eldest son, Jiang Xiaowen, suffered from diabetes like his father and suffered from throat cancer, and unfortunately died at the age of 54; in 1991, the second son Jiang Xiaowu, who suffered from chronic pancreatitis, also left Jiang Fangliang at the age of 46; in 1996, the third son, Jiang Xiaoyong, also left Jiang Fangliang at the age of 48.
Jiang Fangliang's only daughter, Jiang Xiaozhang, married a third-married man 14 years older than himself, a marriage that was opposed by Jiang's family and later settled in the United States. Therefore, after the death of his three sons, Jiang Fangliang lived a miserable life alone. In 1992, Jiang Fangliang received the deputy mayor and deputy mayor of Minsk, the capital of Belarus, and said that he could not return to Russia due to economic constraints.
summary
Jiang Fangliang's life was difficult and tragic and reasonable, and she received the best aristocratic education in her childhood. But with her father's imprisonment, she and her sister are dependent on each other, and her sister has not read many books, and the knowledge given to her is the experience of life. Also influenced by his sister's teachings, Jiang Fangliang became a passive in his marriage, supporting everything about her husband.
In her later years, Jiang Fangliang watched her sons leave one by one, and perhaps for her, longevity was the biggest harm. Hundreds of years ago, Jiang Fangliang was an excellent wife, an excellent mother, and a competent daughter-in-law. But we look at this woman in a modern light, and indeed love the humble, but also lose the self.
