In 1945, Japan was defeated and surrendered, the fourteen-year arduous war of resistance finally came to an end, the people of the whole country were immersed in the joy of victory, everyone had longed for a peaceful life for a long time, but at this time Chiang Kai-shek launched a civil war and openly tore up the Double Tenth Treaty, so the people's hearts were lost, coupled with the defeat of all three major battles, so Chiang Kai-shek could only retreat to Taiwan, and never returned to the mainland, this incident also became the biggest regret in his life, and Chiang Kai-shek's nostalgia in his later years became more and more serious.
In 1975, Chiang Kai-shek died of illness in Taiwan, when his funeral was divided into Chinese and Western styles, which was very solemn, but what puzzled everyone was that Chiang Kai-shek wore seven pairs of pants when he was buried, and this was something he repeatedly told his son Chiang Ching-kuo before his death, and after Chiang Kai-shek's death a month later, Soong Meiling left Taiwan to settle in the United States, her husband died and there were no children, so Soong Meiling lost her patron in Taiwan, and the relationship between her and Chiang Ching-kuo has not been harmonious.
Compared with Soong Meiling's optimism and open-mindedness, Chiang Kai-shek has been very self-disciplined all his life, he has never indulged himself in life, his living habits are also very good, and he always has a lot of entanglements in his heart, and Song Meiling is completely opposite to him, he likes to be lively day and night in life, and after moving to the United States, he still loves life positively, and someone once asked Song Meiling why Jiang Gong wore seven pairs of pants to the funeral when he died? Song Meiling said the answer: the fallen leaves return to the roots.
When a person is old, he often thinks of things about his youth, and so does Chiang Kai-shek, who misses the grass and trees of his hometown very much, and he has repeatedly expressed his hope that he will be able to return to his roots after death, but in the historical background at that time, this kind of thing cannot be done, so he can only strictly follow the customs and habits of his hometown and wear seven pairs of pants when he is buried, although Chiang Kai-shek was eventually buried in Taiwan, but believes that he has returned to his hometown in another world to reunite with his relatives.
