History is the memory of things that have been said and done. —Carl Baker
In modern China, which family is more prominent than the Song family? Several members of this family have climbed to the peak of Political Power in China. The eldest sister, Song Xialing, married Kong Xiangxi, the seventy-fifth grandson of Confucius, a descendant of Kong Shengren who served as minister of finance and chief executive. The second sister, Soong Ching Ling, was Mrs. Sun Yat-sen and later became vice president of the People's Republic of China. Song Ziwen, who ranked third, also served as finance minister and chief executive. The fourth-ranked Soong Mei-ling is Mrs. Chiang Kai-shek.
Song Qingling's family has a total of six brothers and sisters, of which three men and three women, the strong affection between the brothers and sisters can really be described as "blood is thicker than water". The eldest sister Song Xiaoling died at the age of 85, Song Qingling died at the age of 88, the younger sister Song Meiling died at the age of 106, the eldest brother Song Ziwen died at the age of 77, the second brother Song Ziliang died at the age of 88, and the younger brother Song Zi'an died at the age of 63. The Song sisters have a deep affection, especially Song Qingling and the younger sister Song Meiling have the closest relationship, and the first object of Song Meiling's heart when she was young was the second sister. The sisters are both talented and beautiful, but unfortunately, due to different beliefs and values, they are going to the complete opposite path, because of this, the sisters have never seen each other in the second half of their lives. But the sisters never gave up on missing each other.
When the spring breeze once again blows green in the ancient capital, located in a secluded and beautiful garden of the old sun palace on the north edge of Houhai, a new master of elegance and legend, Song Qingling, is ushered in. Considering that Soong Ching Ling is the leading figure of our country and has made irreplaceable and important contributions to the Chinese revolution, and that she enjoys international prestige, she often has to meet Chinese and foreign guests at her residence, and should have a suitable place to live. Although the national economy was in a difficult period at that time, and the central government generally stipulated that no new houses would be built, considering The special status and needs of Soong Ching-ling, it was still decided to build a new residence for Soong Ching-ling.
Thirty years have passed. During Song Qingling's serious illness, she asked Comrade Tong Xiaopeng to ask her friends to say hello to her relatives and friends overseas. The Chinese Embassy in the United States also promptly conveyed to Song Meiling the news that her second sister was critically ill. And attached Song Qingling's handwritten letter, how many years of parting sorrow, she is not sad, nor sad? Song Meiling, who has been living alone in the United States for a long time, the kind of homeland feeling of "the tree is thousands of feet high, and the leaves fall back to the roots", and the kind of sisterly love that is inextricably linked, can she still make her state of mind always as peaceful as autumn water? However, Song Meiling only came back with four words: the letter was received.
Who to ask?" Flowing water to the ordinary small bridge, waiting to be summoned is not the old sand gull "...
