Why didn't Song Meiling attend the funeral of her second sister? A diary was made public, revealing why
The three sisters of the Song family are the three more famous sisters in the Republic of China period, the eldest sister Song Xiaoling married the Confucius family consortium, rich in wealth to rival the country, and the second sister Song Qingling married Sun Yat-sen. The youngest, Soong Mei Ling, married Chiang Kai-shek and became Chiang Kai-shek's helper. The three sisters, the people they married are all masters, and they have a good relationship with each other, but Song Meiling did not attend the funeral of the second sister, for what reason?
I. Soong Mei Ling and Chiang Kai-shek
Soong Mei-ling's relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Ching-ling did not agree. Soong Mei-ling and Chiang Kai-shek met at a banquet, and Chiang Kai-shek fell in love with Soong Mei-ling at first sight and pursued her, but Soong Ching-ling did not agree to this matter, fearing that Chiang Kai-shek had ulterior motives and that his sister would suffer losses when she married her. Soong Ching-ling's obstruction was also well-intentioned, because at that time Chiang Kai-shek also had a wife who thought that Chiang Kai-shek was very careful, afraid that in the future, Chiang Kai-shek would like the new and dislike the old and abandon Soong Mei-ling. In addition, Song Qingling was also afraid that Chiang Kai-shek had only married his little sister for the sake of the financial resources of the Song family and the Kong family, and he was very uneasy about Chiang Kai-shek.
In addition, from a political point of view, Chiang Kai-shek is the one who stole the achievements of Sun Yat-sen, who is the husband of Soong Ching-ling, and from a political point of view, he will not agree to the two people being together. In order to sabotage Chiang Kai-shek's presence with Soong Mei-ling, Soong Ching-ling unleashed harsh words, saying that he would rather his little sister die than marry his sister to Chiang Kai-shek. But sometimes, the more oppressive, the more will promote the feelings of the two people, under the oppression of the second sister, Soong Meiling has a good feeling for Chiang Kai-shek, and despite the opposition of the second sister, she and Chiang Kai-shek entered the palace of marriage.
Second, Song Xialing's matchmaking
In fact, there is also the matchmaking of the eldest sister Song Xialing, song Xialing, as the eldest sister, her identity is naturally the highest, she is very optimistic about Chiang Kai-shek, thinking that Chiang Kai-shek is a talent, and will definitely do a career in the future. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek was in the inferior position in the political struggle, and could be killed by the enemy at any time, and his sister had to experience such dangers when she married. But despite this, Song Xialing also believed in his own vision, and Chiang Kai-shek was not a mediocre talent. With the support of the eldest sister, Song Meiling dared to rebel against Song Qingling and came together with Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek became the largest warlord force, established political power, and almost unified the whole country. Later, due to the War of Resistance Against Japan, the attrition was too great, and he was forced to Taiwan, but he was also considered the leader of the party.
Third, Song Qingling died of illness and Song Meiling did not arrive
Chiang Kai-shek's status is getting higher and higher day by day, but Soong Ching-ling's life is not good, although he is Sun Yat-sen's wife, he also needs to relieve Sun Yat-sen's worries. After Chiang Kai-shek became great, he first abandoned the Three People's Principles, and then massacred revolutionaries on a large scale, and many of Sun Yat-sen's subordinates who supported the Three People's Principles were killed by Chiang Kai-shek. This made Soong Qingling very dissatisfied, running around, trying to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek's rule, but Chiang Kai-shek's power was too great, and she was a weak woman, and she could not do anything. Later, in 1981, Song Qingling died of illness in Beijing, and a funeral was held, and her sister Song Meiling never appeared, perhaps still blaming her sister, blaming her for blocking her love, blaming her for wanting to overthrow her husband's regime.
4. Song Meiling's diary
In fact, this is not the case, the reason why Song Meiling did not attend her sister's funeral, but she was afraid that she was overly sad and touched the scene. In Song Meiling's diary, she recorded her longing for her sister, she did not blame her sister for anything, all the initial obstruction was for her own good, and then it was also because of political problems, not their fault. During the time she left her sister, she thought about her sister all the time, grew up under the protection of her sister, even if she went to the position of ten thousand people under one person, she was also the sister of her sister, how she hoped to go back to the past, back to the time when she used to live together. Song Meiling has deep feelings for her two sisters, and her sister is the same for her.
epilogue
In Song Qingling's later years, she liked to paint alone, and everything she painted had a feeling of missing, and the people she missed, except for her sister who did not listen to her, were anyone else. Her feelings for her sister are very special, afraid of her this and that, afraid that she will suffer losses outside, but now that she is doing well, she is also at ease. After her sister's death, Song Meiling held her sister's painting and often cried bitterly for a day.
