In 1997, Song Meiling spent her 100th birthday, and the next day bad news came, and there was no successor to the Jiang family
After the end of the Second World War and before the founding of New China, although it was said that it left China during the invasion, the decadent landlord class still existed. For the sake of the interests of the people, our Party waged a final showdown with the Kuomintang and won the final victory. Chiang Kai-shek's troops withdrew to Taiwan and always wanted to make a comeback, but on April 5, 1975, Chiang Kai-shek died, and his lifelong wish can be said to have been disappointed. After this, the Chiang family also suffered three major changes, namely the deaths of Chiang Ching-kuo, Jiang Xiaowen and Jiang Xiaowu, which left a very deep shadow on Soong Meiling, and the Chiang family officially withdrew from the political stage.
The men of the Chiang Kai-shek family
In the book "Chiang Kai-shek's Family", we have been told in detail about the history of the rise and fall of the Chiang Kai-shek family. The first is Chiang Ching-kuo, who died in 1988 and lived to the age of 78. He once had two wives and six children in total. Among them, Jiang Xiaowen, Jiang Xiaozhang, Jiang Xiaowu and Jiang Xiaoyong had four children who were born to his later wife Jiang Fangliang. From Chiang Ching-kuo's death in 1988 to 1997, all four men in the Chiang family died, and the whole family was very miserable.
Jiang Xiaowen
Born in the Soviet Union, Jiang Xiaowen returned to China in 1937 and came to Taiwan with his family in 1949, but after staying here for a long time, he went to study in the United States, and only a year after his father's death, he died of cancer in Taipei. Jiang Xiaowu was more powerful, not only a student of the Political Science Department of National Taiwan University, but later went to Germany to study politics, but unfortunately he did not live long, and died of illness at the age of 46. The youngest child, Jiang Xiaoyong, was born in Shanghai and initially attended a military academy, but then entered National Taiwan University through family connections, and after graduation, he took his family to Canada, and in 1996, he also died of cancer in Taipei.
Complex Chiang family relationships
Jiang Fangliang had a total of four children, and the three children were not very old, and they died of illness. Only one daughter is not bad, because Jiang Fangliang is Russian, and their children are mixed-race, handsome and outstanding, plus an education from an early age. Daughter Jiang Xiaozhang has a unique temperament, and there are many people to pursue her. But the man Jiang Xiaozhang likes is Yu Yang, who has been divorced twice and is much older than her. The two met in the United States, although the father has been blocking and does not want the daughter to be with Yu Yang, but the daughter completely disregards the persuasion of her parents, marries Yu Yang, and lives in San Francisco, and also gave birth to a child.
Jiang Xiaozhang took a group photo with his family
Of course, there are two people who have to be mentioned, that is, the two children born to Chiang Ching-kuo and his ex-wife, Jiang Xiaoyan and Jiang Xiaoci, this is a pair of twins, the mother died early, the father soon married again, the mother's relatives are also worried that the child will be wronged, and specially changed the surname Zhang. After 1949, Chiang Ching-kuo also arranged for the two sons to come to Taiwan and let them study at Soochow University. These two children are indeed related to Chiang Ching-kuo, but when Chiang Ching-kuo was alive, he did not give these two children a name, that is to say, people do not think that these two children are descendants of Chiang Ching-kuo.
These two children also know that their position is very embarrassing, so they never expected their father to be responsible for them, but instead studied seriously in their own professional fields, compared to the remaining four children of the Jiang family, the achievements of the two of them will be better, and they have understood the hardships of life since they were young, so their character is also very good. It is a pity that in 1994, Jiang Xiaoci suddenly suffered a stroke and was sent back to Taiwan, and two years later, he died, leaving jiang Xiaoyan alone in the Jiang family.
Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Wei-kuo who could not speak clearly
Although Jiang Weiguo's surname is Chiang Kai-shek, no one can say exactly whose son he is, and most people believe that he is the son of Dai Jitao, but chiang kai-shek liked this young man very much and only then did he cultivate him into the family tree. In 1997, he died in Taiwan, and his wife gave birth to only one son, Jiang Xiaogang, and did not stay in Taiwan, but went to the United States to work as a lawyer.
Jiang Weiguo
Chiang Kai-shek's life was still relatively bumpy, and he always had a hope that one of his descendants would become a general. Therefore, when Jiang Xiaoyong was just born, he and Song Meiling cared for this child very much and encouraged him to go to military school, and this child did not disappoint him and was admitted to the officer school. However, many things are not satisfactory, in a real combat training, Jiang Xiaoyong was injured, underwent two surgeries, because of his physical condition, he had to leave the army, can only go to do other work.
The final situation of the Jiang family is also very painful, and the men have basically passed away. On September 22, 1997, Song Meiling had just passed her 100th birthday, and the next day, Jiang Weiguo died, which meant that the Jiang family had no descendants.
