Mr. Song Qingling, who has devoted his life to China's realization of independence and national rejuvenation, is of extraordinary significance to new China. Her contribution to The Cause of China's Revolution is a presence that cannot be ignored.
Song Qingling, who was born in the Song family, could have lived a life of fine clothes and jade food and clothing by relying on the shade of the family, but for the sake of her revolutionary ideals, she chose to give up all this and devote herself to arduous revolutionary work.
Soong Ching Ling spent her life running for the revolutionary cause, following Dr. Sun Yat-sen in the early days, and after the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, she always firmly adhered to the revolutionary ideals shared by the two and did not bow to Chiang Kai-shek, so she was forced to flee to a foreign country. In her later years, she also faced the three difficulties of the Song family, the adopted daughter, and the political circles, and it was not until after her death that she relied on the case book to break many rumors and false accusations in the outside world.
After marrying Dr. Sun Yat-sen, they supported each other and walked through ten years of ups and downs together
In the early days when Sun Yat-sen began his revolutionary activities, some patriotic businessmen were very supportive of his activities and provided him with a lot of financial support, and Soong Ching-ling's father, Soong Ka-shu, was such a patriotic businessman. In the minds of many historians, Song Jiashu was an important financial pillar for the success of the National Revolution.
Influenced by his father's patriotic thoughts, Song Qingling has been patriotic since he was a child and hopes to contribute to the independence of the motherland. Because of the close relationship between his father and Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Soong Ching Ling knew Dr. Sun Yat-sen very early, and soon after graduating from university, he became Mr. Sun Yat-sen's secretary.
As the contact between the two gradually deepened, Soong Ching Ling highly endorsed dr. Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary ideals and established the same revolutionary ideals with him. Two years later, the two of them married and began to support each other on the road of revolution.
After getting married, Soong Ching Ling has been doing his best to cooperate with the work of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, helping Dr. Sun Yat-sen to complete the writing of works such as "The Strategy for the Founding of the People's Republic", and at the same time taking charge of sorting out documents and handling incoming and outgoing telegrams, playing an indispensable and important role in Dr. Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary road.
From the anti-Duan dynasty and the protection of the country and the law, to the May Fourth Movement, the first Kuomintang-Communist cooperation, to the Chen Jiongming mutiny, Sun Yat-sen's northward movement, Soong Ching Ling has always accompanied Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and even used his life to protect Dr. Sun Yat-sen several times.
Ever since Dr. Sun Yat-sen became the leader of China's democratic revolution, the open guns and dark arrows against him have never stopped. Especially after the Xinhai Revolution, the rule of the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, and Dr. Sun Yat-sen became a thorn in the side of some people, in order to protect Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Soong Ching Ling paid great attention to his diet and living.
Although the fruits of the victory of the Xinhai Revolution were eventually stolen by Yuan Shikai, in 1921, Dr. Sun Yat-sen, who had suffered hardships, took office as president of the Republic of China. Because he did not have enough military power in his hands, the next year, Dr. Sun Yat-sen was "forced into the palace" by Chen Jiongming, who betrayed the revolution.
During this mutiny, the presidential palace where Dr. Sun Yat-sen lived was shelled, and Soong Ching-ling insisted that he evacuate first in order to protect Dr. Sun Yat-sen, while he himself stayed behind to cover the true whereabouts of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
On the occasion of parting, Dr. Sun Yat-sen refused to leave, and Soong Ching Ling advised: "China can not live without me, not without you." ”
In the end, Soong Ching Ling remained alone to deal with the rebels, while Dr. Sun Yat-sen was escorted away from the presidential palace. Earlier, Soong Ching Ling had just conceived Dr. Sun Yat-sen's child, and in the process of dealing with the rebels, she unfortunately miscarried.
Because he was frightened during this miscarriage, Song Qingling's body had problems, and after that, he recuperated for a long time before slowly recovering. A few years later, Dr. Sun Yat-sen died of illness, and Soong Ching Ling lost his lifelong love and spiritual mentor forever.
In the April 12 coup d'état, he stood up against Chiang Kai-shek and insisted on promoting the national war of resistance
Dr. Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching-ling's marriage lasted only ten years, but Soong Ching-ling spent a lifetime remembering the relationship. After the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Soong Ching Ling did not remarry, let alone find a new partner to comfort his feelings, but devoted the rest of his life to the revolutionary ideals shared by the two.
Shortly after the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek launched the April 12 counter-revolutionary coup and wantonly slaughtered Communists, which directly led to the failure of the Great Revolution. Although Soong Ching-ling's own sister, Soong Mei-ling, married Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Ching-ling still could not accept Chiang Kai-shek's betrayal of the revolution.
She joined forces with some Kuomintang insiders who also believed that Chiang Kai-shek was betraying the revolution, as well as some members of the Communist Party, and issued a joint telegram expressing strong condemnation of Chiang Kai-shek's actions. Because of this move, Soong Ching Ling was soon on Chiang Kai-shek's "blacklist."
However, due to the relationship between his wife Soong Mei-ling and Soong Ching-ling, as well as Soong Ching-ling's status as the widow of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek did not act for a long time. In order to protect Soong Ching-ling's personal safety, she was secretly sent out of China and took refuge in the Soviet Union and other places.
As early as when Soong Ching Ling broke up with Chiang Kai-shek, she broke with her own family, the Soong family. The reason is simple: the Soong family chose to side with Chiang Kai-shek, who already held great power. At this time, within the Song family, the power transfer of the new generation has been gradually completed, and the main living force is the descendants of Song Qingling's generation.
Soong Ching-ling's eldest sister, Soong Ching-ling, only wants to get rich, so she will naturally side with Chiang Kai-shek, who can provide her with the opportunity to make money. Soong Ching-ling's sister Soong Mei-ling married Chiang Kai-shek and only cared about her "decency", let alone on Soong Ching-ling's side. Song Qingling's three younger brothers also served under the National Government, and their positions were naturally very clear.
Obviously, from the moment Soong Ching Ling chose to stand against Chiang Kai-shek, she and the Soong family had become "enemies.". Although her younger brother Song Zi'an has been reconciling in the middle, the problem of political stance cannot be resolved, and the contradictions between her and her family naturally cannot be resolved.
Because he fell out with his family and did not use his identity and position to seek any wealth in his long revolutionary career, Soong Qingling's asylum time was quite embarrassing. When her little brother secretly went to visit her, he couldn't even believe that his sister's financial conditions were so poor, and took the initiative to give all the cash on his body to her men.
Despite the difficulties in life, Soong Ching Ling still did not give up his revolutionary ideals, and when he had the opportunity to return to China, Soong Ching Ling still chose to stand on the side of the people and firmly promote the national war of resistance.
In the famous Xi'an Incident, Song Qingling also played a great role. Taking advantage of her relationship with Chiang Kai-shek's wife, she actively lobbied between the two sides, prompting Chiang Kai-shek to agree to the conditions for stopping the civil war and jointly resisting Japan, and made important contributions to the formation of the anti-Japanese national united front.
In their old age, they are unable to reunite with their relatives for political reasons, and their hearts are tormented
Since then, Song Qingling has been working hard for the War of Resistance, and also founded the China Welfare Foundation, which sent a lot of materials and money to the Chinese People's Liberation Army. During the war, Soong Ching-ling also led the China Welfare Foundation to carry out disaster relief and relief activities on many occasions, trying to rescue some ccp members who were arrested.
It was not until after the founding of New China that her life finally became more stable, at least she no longer had to run around for the country and the people, but Song Qingling, who could not spare herself, still took over a lot of new China's work, such as women's work, children's work, and world peace work.
Although Song Qingling has taken over a lot of work, when other aspects of things come to her, she will still choose to use her position and influence to give some help.
Although Song Qingling's career has also had difficult times, she has mostly achieved good results in the end, but her personal life has not been very satisfactory.
In his later years, Song Qingling always hoped to meet his relatives, even if it was a good one. Song Qingling, who had no children and betrayed the family alone in the first half of his life, has always been lonely, and after people reach their old age, this loneliness becomes more and more obvious, especially when they see the scene of friends and children in groups, it is inevitable to feel sad in their hearts.
Soong Ching-ling, who has always adhered to the love between himself and Dr. Sun Yat-sen, of course, will not choose to remarry, but can the relatives of the original family reconcile with her? With great expectations, she communicated with the various members of the Song family many times, and even got a positive answer several times, but in the end she could not do it for political reasons.
After the defeat of the Kuomintang troops, Chiang Kai-shek held Taiwan and refused to back down, and the United States again stirred up dissension between the mainland and Taiwan, and relations between the two sides were once very stiff. In this case, it is simply difficult for Song Qingling to reunite with his relatives.
Handling official affairs during the day, at night can only hold the only family portrait silently weeping, watching the brothers and sisters who were good friends in the past make trouble to this look now, song Qingling's heart torment, is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this longing for his loved ones and his ardent expectations for the reunification of the motherland that Soong Ching Ling has been committed to easing cross-strait relations. Whether it was through the correspondence between himself and Song Meiling, or through the help of international friends, Song Qingling tried all possible methods, but unfortunately did not get a satisfactory result in the end.
Desperate for family affection is hopeless, the lonely Song Qingling put this extra feeling on his career, and did his best to win more rights and benefits for women and children. Perhaps fate also thought that Song Qingling was too lonely, so he sent her a child, Sui Yongqing.
He was warmed by his adopted daughter, but he was constantly framed and slandered by his political enemies
Sui Yongqing is the daughter of Song Qingling's guard secretary Sui Xuefang, when she was very young, she met Song Qingling by chance, and Song Qingling, who was already very fond of children, thought that she was particularly close to herself and loved this little doll.
At first, Song Qingling just often asked Sui Xuefang to bring Sui Yongqing to play with her, and after a while, she simply let Sui Yongqing live in her own residence and take care of this little girl who was not related to herself.
Song Qingling's love and affection for Sui Yongqing is probably because she is too lonely. Her experience of accidental abortion in the 56 years of widowhood made her unable to restrain her mother's love, and at the same time she could no longer have her own children, so she had to put this maternal love on the cause of child welfare, but those children were only a few sides of the relationship after all, and could not stay with her for a long time.
Sui Yongqing was different, she was not in awe of Song Qingling like other children, but she got along with Song Qingling very naturally. Coupled with Sui Yongqing's long eyebrows and clear eyes, very cute, and very lively personality, Song Qingling simply could not resist such an eccentric little girl.
Soon after, Song Qingling adopted Sui Yongqing and her sister as her adopted daughters, and used her best ability to take care of the sisters. After breaking with the Song family, Song Qingling's economic conditions have not been optimistic, coupled with her own enthusiasm for charity, Ping Su has not been willing to spend money on herself, food, clothing, housing and transportation are very simple.
But for the sake of the Sui Yongqing sisters, Song Qingling often entrusted them to buy the most fashionable clothes and other novel gadgets abroad: silk scarves, stockings, watches...
From a very young age, Song Qingling personally told her stories, sang children's songs, and even taught her the languages of other countries, whether materially or spiritually, Song Qingling provided her adopted daughter with the best of her ability. It is precisely because of Song Qingling's unusual attitude towards his adopted daughter Sui Yongqing that it has aroused a lot of suspicion from the outside world.
Although Song Qingling adopted both Sui Yongqing and her sister at the same time, it is obvious that she cares more about Sui Yongqing and attaches more importance to Sui Yongqing, so many political enemies in the outside world use this as a chip to slander Song Qingling as actually Sui Yongqing's biological mother.
When Sui Yongqing was born, Mr. Song was already 64 years old, how could these two people be mother and daughter? In fact, this is nothing more than a slander made by political opponents in order to weaken Soong Ching-ling's influence. Once Soong Ching Ling loses the identity of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's widow, her political influence will be greatly reduced.
Chiang Kai-shek has used this method from a very early time. Being targeted by the same tricks, Song Qingling did not care, in her later years, she had already looked down on these problems, as long as Sui Yongqing was with her, she already felt very comforted.
In 1981, Song Qingling died of illness, after her death, Beijing Hospital examined Song Qingling's body, and the results showed that "there is no uterus in the pelvis of Song Qingling's lower abdomen (it has been removed), only the cervix remains..." This examination report proves Song Qingling's innocence and also ends the woman's legendary life.
