During the Republican period, social unrest was unstable. However, just as the so-called heroes of the chaotic world were created, the three sisters of the Song clan who were famous during the Republic of China: Song Qiling, Song Qingling, and Song Meiling, married the popular figures on the political stage at that time, and since then their fame has risen. However, when these three sisters gradually withdrew from the social stage, the second generation of the three sisters of the Song family was gradually rising.
Compared with the previous generation, the second generation of the three sisters of the Song family lacked some rigid beauty, but more flexible beauty. Their lives also don't have too many ups and downs, more of peace and beauty. They are Song Qiongyi, Song Manyi, Song Ruiyi, and today we will talk about their stories.
1. The origin of the name
A closer look reveals that the first generation of the Three Sisters of the Song Clan and the Third Sisters of the Second Generation of the Song Clan both have the same word in their names. The names of the three sisters of the two generations of the Song family have a little-known story, and today I will introduce it to you.
The father of the first generation of the three Sisters of the Song clan was Song Yaohe, who studied in the United States when he was young, and during his study abroad, Song Yaohe heard the story of Lincoln's liberation of black people. He admired Lincoln so much that when Song Yaohe named his three daughters, he included the word "Lin" in their names. But then Song Yaohe went to visit an old man, who thought that the girl's name should be more elegant, and at the suggestion of the old man, Song Yaohe replaced the word "Lin" with the word "Ling".
The names of the second generation of the three Song sisters are closely related to their father's life experience. Their father is Song Ziwen, and their grandfather is Song Yaohe. Song Ziwen is also a high-achieving student who returned from studying in the United States, obtained a doctorate in the United States, is proficient in finance and English, and after returning to China, he was quickly appointed as a tutor by Sheng Xuanhuai.
At Sheng Xuanhuai's home, Song Ziwen and Miss Seven Sheng Aiyi saw each other and hated each other late, and the two quickly came together. However, the status of the two families in society is far apart, and the Sheng family will not agree to this marriage in any way. The two had to say goodbye to this, when they reunited after a long time, Song Ziwen already had a family, so Sheng Ai Yikong waited for a long time, and Song Ziwen did not want to go, and added a "Yi" word to his daughter's name.
Second, the life of the eldest daughter Song Qiongyi
Song Ziwen knew that he was ashamed of Sheng Aiyi, so he let his thousands of gold to decompose this bitterness. After ten years of hard work, Song Ziwen has long become a senior official of the government, and Song Ziwen, who has achieved fame, naturally married Zhang Leyi, the daughter of a famous person. The husband and wife raise three daughters together, and the family lives happily.
The birth of the eldest daughter, Song Qiongyi, gave hope to the life of Song Ziwen, who was busy with government work all day long. The couple also loved this little life, lest Song Qiongyi be hurt. To this end, the two set up a school in their own home, and asked the teacher to come to the house to teach Song Qiongyi, just because they were worried that Song Qiongyi would be kidnapped by bad people when she went out.
Not only that, in order to witness her daughter's growth more, Song Ziwen often took time out of her busy schedule to return home, play with her daughter, and attend classes with her. Every time Song Qiongyi wanted to go out, she would have the escort prepared for her by her father at all times. Young Song Qiongyi grew up safely in this way.
In 1937, the Japanese army's all-out war of aggression against China broke out, and Chinese rose up to resist. The mainland was no longer safe, and Song Ziwen first sent Song Qiongyi to Hong Kong, and soon after to the United States. From then on, Song Ziwen could only communicate with his daughter through letters.
Three, three sisters similar and different lives
The lives of the three sisters are somewhat similar, Song Manyi and Song Ruiyi are the same as Song Qiongyi when they were young, going to school at home and growing up happily in the company of their parents. Despite the war in the country, the three sisters have been well protected, and their normal lives have not been greatly affected.
When the second daughter was five years old, the War of Resistance Against Japan broke out in an all-round way, and the lack of companionship given by her father did not affect Song Manyi's character cultivation. Later, the war situation deteriorated, the country was no longer safe, and the second daughter moved to the United States with her sister. The third daughter had just been born at this time, and she had no choice but to go to the United States.
The eldest daughter grew up in China and learned a lot about Chinese culture, and she returned to China in her later years. The second daughter still has some understanding of Chinese culture, and the third daughter grew up in the United States since she was a child, and it can be said that she has no understanding of Chinese culture. The three sisters' understanding of Chinese culture also influenced their views on the issue to some extent.
The three sisters all had a good marriage, and the husbands of the three sisters were excellent. Feng Yanda's father was the Chinese consul in the United States, Yu Jingpeng was a wealthy merchant of medicinal materials, and the Yang Chengzhu family was a filipino aristocrat, and all three couples lived their own satisfactory lives.
epilogue:
No matter who it is, it is inevitable that it will be obliterated by the dust of history, and the three sisters of the Song family are no exception, and a good family situation is important, but true happiness must be created by themselves. Whether the first generation or the second generation of the Song sisters, the three sisters of the Song family are already history, will there be a third generation of the three sisters of the Song family in the future? We look forward to it together.
