As a leading figure of the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek was appreciated by Sun Yat-sen and rose in the political arena of the Republic of China period, and was even elected as a The President of the Republic of China. Although he was criticized for his authoritarian politics, he played an important role in the development of modern and contemporary Chinese history and was a key figure in the Republic of China.
Chiang Kai-shek's historical deeds were constantly excavated and analyzed, and both his political means and his personal feelings were once talked about. As Chiang Kai-shek's mother, she is also a historical figure with strong colors.
Born in the late Qing Dynasty, she had a bad fate in her early years, because she lost her husband and lost her son, and she chose to escape into the empty door to become a nun. Later, he was impressed by Chiang Kai-shek, that is, Chiang Kai-shek's father, and even cultivated his son into a famous The President of the Republic of China in history because of his love for the vulgar. She is Wang Caiyu.
Fate is uncertain, and he escapes into the empty door
Wang Caiyu was born in a small village in Shengxian County, Zhejiang Province, at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Her father, Wang Youze, was very good at business and accumulated a considerable fortune by selling local specialties and reclaiming wasteland. For this little daughter, he also loved her very much, provided her with a good life, and let Wang Caiyu spend a beautiful childhood.
Wang Caiyu gradually grew up under the favor of his parents and came out of the world. Not only that, her reputation in the village is also very good, and people around her say that she inherited her father's advantages, not only smart and clever, but also very good at female red. Therefore, when she had just reached the end, the people around her who said that the mediator simply wanted to step on the threshold of the Wang family.
But at that time, Wang Caiyu did not choose to marry, she wanted to spend more time with her father and mother, and this delay dragged until the year she was 19 years old. After his father died of illness, Wang Caiyu's family lost their main source of income, and his younger brother Xianju also contracted gambling, and soon lost the property left by his father.
Blessings are not double, and misfortunes are not alone. Another of Wang Caiyu's younger brothers, Xianyu, also needed medication because of a mental illness. But at the moment, they can't even eat, where is the money to buy medicine? In order to pay off gambling debts and pay medical expenses, Wang Caiyu had to take some needlework to subsidize her family.
After the bankruptcy of the Wang family, the people who had come to the door to ask for relatives retreated three feet, afraid of bearing the living expenses of this big son. Wang Caiyu's mother, Yao Shi, was also worried about her daughter's marriage, and what could her daughter do if she went on like this. So she contacted the matchmaker and married Wang Caiyu to Zhu Mou, who was stationed in Caojiatian.
Although Wang Caiyu had never met Zhu before getting married, she still obeyed her mother's arrangement for "the order of her parents and the words of the matchmaker". After marriage, although her husband's personality is more impatient, the two often argue over a small matter, but in general, the husband still takes good care of her.
In the second year after Wang Caiyu got married, she gave birth to a big fat boy for Zhu. For the arrival of this son, the couple's hearts were full of joy. Seeing that Wang Caiyu's life was getting better day by day, fate once again tricked this poor woman, and this accident also made her completely choose to escape into the empty door.
It is also customary to remarry, old husband and young wife
Just a few months after the birth of the child, he died of a sudden illness. Wang Caiyu was still immersed in the pain of losing her child, and her husband Zhu Mou also died because he was infected with the epidemic. Under the successive blows, Wang Caiyu's inner defense line completely collapsed, and she released her pain by reciting Buddhist scriptures.
By chance, Wang Caiyu went to the Jinzhu Nunnery near his home to become a nun. Although her mother's family was distressed by her, they once advised her to give up this idea. But Wang Caiyu had already made up his mind and insisted on becoming a monk. Although her life was very poor, she found inner peace and comfort in her daily recitation of the poems.
If it were not for the appearance of Jiang Zhaocong, Wang Caiyu might have spent a plain and stable life in Jinzhu'an. In 1886, Jiang Zhaocong, as the boss of Wang Caiyu's cousin, learned about Wang Caiyu from him.
At this time, Jiang Zhaocong was very sad because of the loss of his wife, and when he heard about Wang Caiyu's experience, he was very sympathetic to her. So under the mediation of his cousin, 23-year-old Wang Caiyu was still vulgar and married to Jiang Zhaocong, who was 22 years older than himself.
Wang Caiyu's choice to marry Jiang Zhaocong is not only to see his sincerity, But also one of the reasons why Jiang Zhaocong agreed to help her sponsor her two younger brothers to study. After marrying Jiang Zhaocong, she not only arranged the affairs of the family properly, but also ran the family diligently and frugally, and did not spend a lot of money because the Jiang family had money.
The relationship between Wang Caiyu and Jiang Zhaocong is getting closer and closer, and the relationship is getting better and better. In the second year after she married into the Chiang family, she gave birth to a son for Jiang Zhaocong, that is, chiang kai-shek, who was later famous in history. The couple also cherished this hard-won son and hoped that his son could grow up healthily.
Pull the child alone to grow up
Not long after such a good day, Wang Caiyu once again faced the death of her father-in-law and husband. First, the 81-year-old father-in-law died of illness, and then his husband contracted the epidemic, and the two pillars of the family left the family to die.
But compared to the blow that Wang Caiyu suffered when she was young, the only thing that made her happy was that her son was still healthy with her. In order to let her son study with peace of mind, Wang Caiyu began to work on the jiang family's career, and she was a good hand at handling housework, and her performance in business was not inferior.
Chiang Kai-shek also lived up to his mother's expectations and embarked on the road of studying abroad at the age of nineteen. People around him persuaded Wang Caiyu that letting his son go abroad was a rebellion against the Qing Dynasty. Although Wang Caiyu did not understand the political entanglement, she was very supportive of her son's decision.
After going abroad for further study, Chiang Kai-shek systematically accepted the theory of revolution, and his understanding of the decay and backwardness of the Qing Dynasty became more and more profound. After returning to China, because he admired the revolutionary theory advocated by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, he actively participated in the revolutionary movement led by Sun Yat-sen, and was even appreciated by Sun Yat-sen and designated him as his successor.
For her son's ambition, Wang Caiyu actually did not understand very well, and her life was always limited to that small village in Zhejiang. However, as a young widow, it is not easy for her to take up the jiang family's career and raise her son into an ambitious young man after the death of her husband.
On June 14, 1921, Wang Caiyu, who had worked hard all his life, died of a heart attack at the age of 58. After the death of his mother, Chiang Kai-shek, deeply grateful to his mother for her support for his cultivation, rebuilt and expanded Wang Caiyu's mausoleum again and again.
Wang Caiyu's life was full of ups and downs, and both husbands died of illness. But this did not bring down this strong woman, although she did not personally witness Chiang Kai-shek ascend to the position of The President of the Republic of China. However, after her death, Chiang Kai-shek specially asked Sun Yat-sen to read the altar text, and if she knew about it, she would be very proud.
