The marriage between Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching Ling was not optimistic from the beginning, and was not recognized by the world's party comrades, including Sun Yat-sen. Young and beautiful Christians and revolutionaries who have experienced vicissitudes, rich ladies and fugitive rebels, and a 27-year-old age gap, this marriage is really shocking.
At first, the people around Sun Yat-sen only plainly called Soong Ching Ling "Miss Song", and only a very small number of old friends who had personal friends with Sun Yat-sen, such as Liao Zhongkai and Zhu Zhuowen, were in favor of their marriage and honored Soong Ching Ling as "Lady Sun".
The new marriage opened a new life and career voyage for Sun Yat-sen, who had been running around for a long time and was displaced. Sun Yat-sen had a high opinion of his newlywed wife. In a letter to his teacher Condell, he said: "My wife, a woman with a university education in the United States, is the daughter of my earliest comrades and friends. I started a new life. It was a real family life I had never enjoyed before. How blessed I am to be able to live with my close friends and assistants! A few years later, Sun Yat-sen once wrote an inscription in a group photo with Soong Ching-ling: "Sincere and happy, love and fate to live and die." Qing Lingxian wife Jian. ”
After the marriage, in dealing with the relationship with Sun Yat-sen's original family members, Soong Ching Ling showed the wisdom of both human feelings and maintaining an appropriate distance. Lu Muzhen once said that she could be called a sister with Song Qingling, and Song Qingling tried to avoid seeing the two of them. When Soong Was the secretary of Sun Yat-sen, he traveled with Sun Yat-sen to various places, and also went to Sun Yat-sen's hometown of Xiangshan, and was close to Sun Yat-sen's family. Among the surviving video materials, there are several photos of Soong Ching-ling and Sun Yat-sen's family (Lu Muzhen was also present), but it is impossible to find a group photo of Soong Ching-ling and Sun Yat-sen's family with Lu Muzhen present.
After Sun Yat-sen's death, the handling of the funeral and the subsequent memorial activities were mostly attended by Soong Ching Ling and Sun Ke. Although his relationship with Sun Ke gradually drifted apart because of different political paths, Song Qingling always regarded Sun Ke's two younger sisters, Sun Wan and Sun Jiao, as his own, and the two sisters also regarded Song Qingling as their other mother.
As we all know, When Chen Jiongming rebelled against the revolution, he miscarried because he evaded capture and was overworked. Because he had never given birth, Sun Yat-sen was quite relieved about Soong Ching Ling at the time of his death, fearing that she would be despised by comrades and relatives in the party. Therefore, in front of Wang Jingwei, Dai Jitao, Kong Xiangxi, and others, he pointed at Song Qingling and said, "Mrs. Fu despises her for being proletarian." The translation of the vernacular is: "She is our comrade, do not discriminate against her because she is a Christian."
