Chiang Kai-shek has married 4 women as concubines in his lifetime, but he has only 2 sons under his knees, so the descendants of the Chiang family are really rare in this generation. What is even more clear to those who are familiar with the three fathers and sons of the Chiang family is that Chiang Kai-shek actually has only one son, and that is the son Chiang Ching-kuo born to his wife Mao Fumei, and Chiang Wei-kuo is only the adopted son of Chiang Kai-shek.
After Chiang Kai-shek gradually matured through the wind and rain, his views and needs for women have undergone a great leap forward. He gradually became disgusted with Mao Fumei, the old-fashioned wife of his hometown who was honest and responsible, had children, and respected his mother-in-law, and later, Chiang Kai-shek became more and more excessive, as long as he heard Mao Fumei's footsteps, or saw Mao Fumei's figure in the distance, he felt particularly unhappy in his heart.
The real Mao Fumei is not at all hateful, on the contrary, she is also a traditional and standard Chinese-style good wife and mother, she gave birth to the only son for Chiang Kai-shek, and she fed medicine and served carefully at the front of her mother-in-law Wang's sickbed until her mother-in-law finally died. It was such a good daughter-in-law and a good wife, but she did not get a good ending: she was forced to divorce Chiang Kai-shek, worked hard in chiang's family for most of her life, but died in the bombing of the Japanese army, and finally got the title of Chiang Kai-shek's righteous sister and mother-in-law's righteous daughter.
The arranged old-style marriage made Mao Fumei fall into a bitter sea after only 2 months of new marriage
Chiang Kai-shek was born in Xikou Town, Fenghua, Zhejiang Province, his grandfather and father are engaged in the business of salt shops, according to the "Chiang Family Genealogy", on October 31, 1887, The wife of the young boss of the Yutai Salt Shop in Xikou Town, Wang Shi, gave birth to a baby boy named Ruiyuan, this baby boy is Chiang Kai-shek who later stirred up the situation in the Republic of China.
The Chiang family in Fenghua is a huge family, each house in the family has its own house, Chiang Kai-shek's father inherited the house was originally named "Zhou Fang", after the adult Chiang Kai-shek in order to have a better meaning, renamed it "Fenghao Fang", alluding to his own lineage of ancestral heirs can flourish and develop like the Western Zhou.
When Chiang Kai-shek was 9 years old, his father died of illness, and since then, Chiang Kai-shek has been dependent on his mother Wang Shi, who only wants to cultivate his son into a talent, so he sends Chiang Kai-shek to the school run by his cousin to study, and urges him to study hard and make more progress day by day.
Although Chiang Kai-shek was always obedient and did not dare to rebel in front of his mother Wang, in the end he was just a naughty teenager who did not understand and was active, and the annoying behavior of teasing chickens and kicking dogs and provoking wrongdoing was never broken, and such Chiang Kai-shek once deeply distressed wang.
When Chiang Kai-shek was 13 years old, Wang Shi thought that it would be better to marry his son as soon as possible, and his wife had a home, presumably the son would become stable and sensible, and perhaps he could still embark on the road of building a family under the guidance of his virtuous wife. After the idea was decided, Wang asked his cousin, who was extremely well-connected, to tell Chiang Kai-shek a good family affair.
The cousin was also not ambiguous, and immediately thought of a nearby family surnamed Mao, who had run a rice shop for generations, and that family had a good family and a daughter named Mao Fumei, who was about 5 years older than Chiang Kai-shek, and who was honest and honest and had a stable temperament.
The Jiang family soon came to the door to propose to each other, and Mao Fumei's father thought that they could marry each other, so the marriage was fixed.
In the early winter of 1901, the 14-year-old Chiang Kai-shek wore soap and red and became a groom's official. On the day of the kissing, Chiang Kai-shek actually disregarded his identity and frolicked with a group of children who came to join in the fun, picking up unburned firecrackers on the ground. When the bride's father saw that his son-in-law was so unsteady and unseemly, he could not help but show a look of anger. Wang Shi was also deeply humiliated when she saw the situation, and she angrily scolded in the hall: The groom picks up the head, and the husband and wife are difficult to end!
Although the hijab bride Mao Fumei heard everything that was happening around her, all she could do was to observe the etiquette and complete the marriage ceremony.
In the first 2 months of their marriage, Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Fumei had a brief honeymoon time, at that time, Chiang Kai-shek had nothing to do every day, he took Mao Fumei throughout the mountains to find the fun of the mountains, Mao Fumei silently followed behind her little husband, but also appeared gentle and obedient.
But soon, the mother-in-law Wang Clan showed obvious anger, and she reprimanded her daughter-in-law: Tiantian and Ruiyuan do not do the right thing, what kind of system, in the end is still the future of men, you must keep your duty!
In the summer of 1903, the 16-year-old Chiang Kai-shek went to Ningbo to take the exam, but the result was that he fell behind Sun Shan. But that trip to Ningbo gave Chiang Kai-shek, who had rarely left his isolated hometown, a broad vision and insight, and from the streets and alleys of Ningbo, Chiang Kai-shek knew that a brand-new world was about to replace the decaying Qing Dynasty, and as for how to participate in that new world, Chiang Kai-shek came up with the idea of taking Mao Fumei to Ningbo to seek development.
Chiang Kai-shek, who had become a "new revolutionary force," and his mediocre and ignorant wife drifted away from Germany and drifted apart
In 1905, Chiang Kai-shek, who had bid farewell to his mother Wang, came to Ningbo with his wife Mao Fumei and studied at the Jianjin Academy opened by Gu Qinglian, a famous teacher in Ningbo at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
In April 1906, Chiang Kai-shek, who saw the decline of state affairs, made up his mind to "go abroad to study and strive for self-improvement", but only in Japan did he know that Japan had reached an agreement with the Qing government to accept only Chinese students sent by officials to study in Japanese military schools, while students like Chiang Kai-shek who went to Japan at their own expense could not enter military schools, but could only go to the Tsinghua School in Tokyo to learn Japanese.
Chiang Kai-shek's ambition to study the military has never wavered; he only stayed in Japan for a short period of 8 months, but he became acquainted with Chen Qimei and a group of revolutionary volunteers, and gained a deeper understanding and understanding of the new anti-feudal revolution.
At the end of 1906, Chiang Kai-shek returned to China, and in the spring of the following year, he went to Shanghai and Hangzhou to look for ways to study abroad by officials, and it happened that at that time, the city of Hangzhou was recruiting army cadets, and after being admitted, he could enter the Baoding Officer School to study military. Chiang Kai-shek signed up without hesitation and was successfully admitted.
After Chiang Kai-shek entered the school, he made great efforts in his studies and performed well. In the spring of 1908, 40 students, including Chiang Kai-shek, became official students and were able to enter the Zhenwu Academy in Tokyo to study military affairs.
At this point, Chiang Kai-shek is no longer what he used to be, and his thinking has risen to the level of rejuvenating the country with a strong army and saving the country by revolution, so naturally he and Mao Fumei, who has an old ideology, have lost their common language and created an ideological gap. When the couple has an insurmountable gap, the stronger party is bound to have an aversion to the other, even disgust.
In the summer of 1909, Chiang Kai-shek briefly returned to China, and when he returned to his hometown in Fenghua, he directly proposed the idea of breaking the marriage contract with Mao Fumei, but his mother Wang Shi attached great importance to Mao Fumei, and with the protection of his mother and his clan, Chiang Kai-shek had to give up, but he was very critical of Mao Fumei, and from time to time he quarreled and even started to fight.
Wang Shi saw her son wandering away for a long time, and she first bitterly persuaded her son to be close to Mao Fumei, and then threatened to die, and finally let the young couple spend a few nights together. Soon, Mao Fumei was indeed pregnant, and in April 1910, Jiang Jingguo was born in the ancestral home of Jiang in Fenghua Xikou Town, because he was a man, so his mother-in-law Wang Shi and Mao Fumei were very happy.
From the beginning of his wife's pregnancy, Chiang Kai-shek was busy with the revolutionary cause outside the country and rarely returned to his hometown to visit. In 1919, Chiang Kai-shek thought of divorcing Mao Fumei again, but as a mother-in-law, Wang Shi was very fond of Mao Fumei, a daughter-in-law, and also a very precious and lovely grandson, and she resolutely opposed her son's divorce from her daughter-in-law.
For the sake of the happiness and beauty of his son's family, the Wang family asked Mao Fumei to take Xiao Jingguo to Shanghai to reunite with Chiang Kai-shek, but a few days after arriving in Shanghai, Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Fumei had a fierce quarrel, and in a fit of anger, Mao Fumei returned to his mother-in-law with his son.
Since April 1921, Wang's bedridden has been sick, but fortunately, the honest and docile Mao Fumei carefully takes care of all the food and living of her mother-in-law, which makes Wang feel a little comforted.
In May, because Wang was seriously ill, Chiang Kai-shek returned to his hometown to visit his mother. And whenever he saw Mao Fumei, who was turning around around his mother and serving his mother-in-law, that sense of disgust suddenly arose, and even regardless of his mother's illness, he scolded Mao Fumei and was furious.
In mid-June, when Wang shi died of illness and his mother-in-law left, Mao Fumei immediately became a "lonely man", and Chiang Kai-shek took advantage of the opportunity to return to his hometown to build a tomb for his mother, and once again asked for divorce from his elderly relatives and his wife Mao Fumei.
The elders of the Chiang family felt that Mao Fumei was very filial, innocent, and at the same time very pitiful, and they did not want Xiao Jingguo to lose the protection and love of his mother from then on, so in order to resolve this irreconcilable dispute, they proposed a central plan: Mao Fumei could break off the marriage contract with Chiang Kai-shek, but she and Chiang Ching-kuo would still stay in the Fenghao room, and would become the righteous daughter of the late mother-in-law Wang Clan and be included in the Chiang family genealogy under the witness of the elders.
Chiang Kai-shek readily agreed, and in November 1921 he and Mao Fumei went through divorce procedures, turned around and returned to Shanghai to prepare for the wedding ceremony, and on December 5, 1921, he married Chen Jieru, who was 18 years younger than him.
In his later years, he ate and prayed to the Buddha, but was bombed and died by Japanese aircraft
Soon after divorcing Mao Fumei, Chiang Kai-shek began to think about the future of his son Chiang Ching-kuo, and in order to let Chiang Ching-kuo get an advanced education, he insisted that Chiang Ching-kuo go to Shanghai to study. Mao Fumei's persuasion was ineffective, and he had to watch his son leave for Shanghai to study.
In the autumn of 1925, Chiang Ching-kuo followed his father's advice and went to Moscow to study, staying in the Soviet Union for a full 12 years, during which Chiang Ching-kuo graduated from university, married a Soviet girl, and gave birth to a son.
In the spring of 1937, Chiang Ching-kuo returned to China with his wife and children, and the first thing he did was to return to his hometown to visit his mother, Mao Fumei, who had been absent for a long time. Mao Fumei saw that his son's family was neatly organized, and he shed tears of happiness.
After all, his son Chiang Ching-kuo still had to look for a career and a future, and Mao Fumei was only briefly reunited with his son's family of three for more than a month, and everything in the family was returned to peace. For the rest of the time, Mao Fumei continued to eat and pray the Buddha while silently waiting to see her son and grandson again.
On December 12, 1939, because of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese side sent planes to Chiang Kai-shek's hometown to carry out a wild bombardment. Mao Fumei fled to the side of the courtyard wall in a panic, and after being injured, he was unfortunately crushed by the collapsed earthen wall, and died under the rubble, ending a life of hard work and sorrow at the age of 57.
After Mao Fumei's death, Chiang Ching-kuo built a tomb for him, and Chiang Kai-shek also remembered Mao Fumei's hard work in the past, and specially ordered Chiang Ching-kuo to find someone to write a strategy of Mao Fumei's life in order to compile it into the Chiang family tree and talk about the meaning of consolation. Mao Fumei, who had a bitter fate, dedicated his life to Chiang Kai-shek, but he was still disgusted by Chiang Kai-shek.
Innocently, she eventually died in the Japanese air raids, and her final identity in the Jiang family was not "lady" but "righteous sister", which sounded like a thriving title that was actually full of bitterness and helplessness. Who told her to marry Chiang Kai-shek?!
