Taiwan's master of sinology, Zeng Shiqiang, once said that it is more secure to seek loyalty first and then seek ability, there are many capable people in the world, but there are very few who are willing to be loyal to others for a lifetime, more is when others are in danger, friends and subordinates for their own interests, turn around and flee is a common thing, and today I want to say a story about loyal master and servant.
The protagonist of the story is one of the most outstanding women in modern China - Song Qingling, I believe everyone knows that many celebrities will choose to be buried with their partners after their deaths, but Song Qingling is different, after her death, she is not buried with Sun Yat-sen, but an unknown nanny Li Yan'e, she and Soong Qingling are not related by blood, why?
1. The origin of "she"
Who is Li Yan'e? We must know that the people who could deal with Song Qingling at that time were all influential social figures, so many people would be a little surprised when they heard that Song Qingling's co-burial was a nanny, thinking that Li Yan'e must be a very person, and even had unspeakable things.
But in fact, Li Yan'e is not a powerful person, Li Yan'e herself is illiterate, and she married a woman at a young age. At first, Li Yan'e just wanted to bring a better life to herself through a marriage, but she did not expect that after marriage, Li Yan'e was not satisfied, but the man she married was not good for her at all, not only did not fulfill her husband's obligations, but also often punched and kicked her, making Li Yan'e's life very painful and depressed.
In desperation, Li Yan'e decided to give up this marriage to make a living for herself. Under the introduction of fellow villager Tan Jie, Li Yan'e and Song Qingling were introduced.
2. Never marry for life and refuse to be seduced by secret agents
For The woman who is willing to give up her life for Song Qingling, the honest and honest Li Yan'e did not do anything for Song Qingling for a long time, did her duty, and soon gained the trust of Song Qingling, sometimes Song Qingling did not even use the name Li Yan'e to call each other, but replaced it with Li Jie, and the feelings between the two quickly warmed up.
Li Yan'e was very grateful for Song Qingling's trust, so she also vowed not to marry for the rest of her life and take care of Song Qingling with the rest of her life. The military commanders and Japanese spies who had been monitoring Song Qingling also discovered this and tried their best to lure Li Yan'e to obtain Information on Song Qingling, but Li Yan'e resolutely refused to comply, even if she had no culture, but Li Yan'e was very clear about right and wrong.
3. Sick and sick, master-servant friendship
In 1979, Li Yan'e suffered from uterine cancer, and after Song Qingling learned about it, she immediately rushed back to Shanghai from other places and personally hired a maid to take care of all the living conditions during Li Yan'e's hospitalization. During his illness, Song Qingling wrote to Epstein: "In recent days, I have been extremely upset that Sister Li (my partner and housekeeper for more than 50 years) is seriously ill. She is not only my assistant, but also better than my relatives..." Here it can be seen how much Song attaches importance to Li Yan'e.
Until 1981, Li Yan'e still could not resist the pain of illness and passed away. When Li Yan'e's ashes were delivered to Song Qingling's residence, the sad Song Qingling pressed her face tightly against the urn, caressed and kissed unceasingly, and the tears spilled on the ground bit by bit. In the end, Li Yan'e was buried next to the grave of her parents, and after her death, she was buried with her nanny, and the life of the master and servant ended.
Trust between people, often not measured by material and culture, the story of Song Qingling and Li Yan'e tells us, how difficult it is to find a person who can make you trust for a lifetime, I believe we also have brothers and sisters, but can we accompany you for a lifetime? Very few, many of them have been together for more than ten years, or even a few years, and they rarely communicate with each other, like having a lifetime of loyal friendship, which is really rare.
