The children under the knees of Chiang Ching-kuo and Jiang Fangliang are found in the genealogy, and in order there are the eldest son Jiang Xiaowen, the eldest daughter Jiang Xiaozhang, the second son Jiang Xiaowu, and the third son Jiang Xiaoyong. Three men and one woman— Wen, Zhang, Wu, and Yong— the names of the third generation of the Chiang family were all named after Chiang Kai-shek.
Speaking of Chiang Kai-shek's grandchildren, the most beloved in the Chiang family is not the eldest son Jiang Xiaowen, but the eldest daughter Jiang Xiaozhang. Jiang Xiaowen was born in Russia in 1935, the year before her parents returned to China, and shortly after her birth, Chiang Ching-kuo was appointed by the Nationalist government as "Administrative Inspector of Gannan, Jiangxi" and "Governor of Ganzhou County".
Therefore, the relatives of the Jiang family all said that Jiang Xiaozhang was the lucky son of his father, Chiang Ching-kuo, and brought good luck to his father. At this time, Chiang Ching-kuo's birth mother, Chiang Kai-shek's original wife Mao, was still alive, and Mao Fumei loved the eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter for ten minutes, and the degree of non-verbal expression could be expressed. This granddaughter of the Jiang family, who is two years younger than Jiang Xiaowen, because the generation of the "national" generation of the Jiang family has no sisters, Xiao Zhang's birth is naturally more loved by grandparents and parents.
Because Jiang Xiaowen was a boy, it was inevitable that he was naughty when he was young, so he often provoked Chiang Ching-kuo to be angry, and even tied up and beaten. Jiang Xiaozhang, the only daughter, is well-behaved, beautiful and kind to her parents' wishes, and naturally becomes a pearl in the palm of her hand, and even a haven for her brother.
It is said that when Jiang Xiaowen provoked his father to be angry and would be punished, he often begged his sister to be resolved by Jiang Xiaozhang for him to spoil his father. Therefore, the only big lady of the Jiang family, the superiority of the status of the Jiang family, is unmatched among the third generation of brothers.
However, Jiang Xiaozhang was born in such a family, and his identity as a golden branch and jade leaf also brought her distress. Three or four years after Jiang Xiaozhang arrived in Taiwan, she was already a 15-year-old girl, and she was a female eldest eighteen, becoming more and more beautiful, almost loved by everyone. However, because her family was too prominent, not only did no boys of a considerable age dare to pursue her, but even few boys spoke to her.
In 1957, Jiang Xiaozhang went to the United States to study, and due to the limited influence of the Jiang family dynasty in the United States, coupled with the distant emperor of Tiangao, Jiang Xiaozhang walked with Yu Yanghe. This Yu Yanghe was a little-known figure, but his father was somewhat prominent, yu Dawei, then minister of national defense, and one of Chiang Kai-shek's confidants.
Because Yu Yanghe had long been living in the United States, when Jiang Xiaozhang went to the United States to study, Jiang Jingguo entrusted Yu Yanghe to take care of him nearby. Jiang Xiaozhang went to a foreign land, and under the careful care of Yu Yanghe, he had a long-term relationship with him and finally married him. In 1960, they held a wedding ceremony, which was a religious ceremony with only the congratulations of the parents of both sides and a very small number of relatives.
The following year, Jiang Xiaozhang gave birth to Yu Zusheng, who was Chiang Kai-shek's first great-grandson, and his name "Zusheng" was also named after Chiang Kai-shek. Judging from the literal meaning of the name, it seems that Chiang Kai-shek is expecting this great-grandson, Ke Shao "zu" Qiu Zhi 's "prestige" meaning.
In the same year, Jiang Xiaowen also gave birth to an only daughter, Jiang Youmei, so the cousins became the fourth generation of the Jiang family. As the son-in-law of the Jiang family, Yu Yanghe could supposedly ascend to heaven in one step, but he was married to Jiang Xiaozhang and even for many years after marriage, and his reports never appeared in the news media. The earliest official record of Yu Yanghe's name in official sources is the "January Chronicle of the Guardian Father's Spirit" published by Chiang Ching-kuo after Chiang Kai-shek's death, which contains a record: "In the morning, the leading daughter of the chapter, Yang He and her son-in-law went to Cihu Lake to inspect the project, and the two sons of Wu and Yong supervised the work here very hard, and they were particularly comforted." ”
Yu Yanghe and his wife lived in San Francisco at that time and did not have much contact with the Chinese community on weekdays. It is said that Yu Yanghe, who works as an adviser to China Airlines and a consultant to China Shipbuilding Company, is not too busy at work, and he is sometimes seen running errands or shopping on the street. It is said that Yu Yanghe is quite easy-going, like his father Yu Dawei, who has no shelf, as long as he greets him and is willing to chat with him, he almost does not refuse.
Although Yu Yanghe's reputation is not obvious, his son Yu Zusheng was born with a golden key. Jiang Chingguo was very fond of this grandson, and whenever Jiang Xiaozhang returned to China with his son, Jiang Youmei and his cousin Yu Zusheng played with toys on the ground, Jiang Chingguo would often join in and play with his granddaughter and grandson on the ground.
Jiang Xiaozhang and his son returned to the province with their relatives, there were always two or three times a year, one or two months each time, and sometimes Yu Yanghe also came back together, they all came quietly and quietly, unwilling to publicize and alarm relatives and friends, and even the relatives of the Jiang family did not know. Yu Yang and his wife are so low-key and far away from politics, it can also be regarded as detached.
