Song Meiling and Chiang Kai-shek are the most dazzling star couples in China's modern history, not only making up for each other politically, but also emotionally a good story in the world, becoming the envy of many people. For example, Chiang Kai-shek's confidants Dai Kasa and Hu Zongnan have repeatedly expressed their envy for the principal to have a wife who combines beauty and talent, and the two have lived together for 48 years, and the depth of their feelings is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Soong Mei Ling and Chiang Kai-shek
On April 5, 1975, Chiang Kai-shek died at the official residence in Taipei, and Soong Mei-ling was deeply saddened, knowing that she would no longer have a backer in the future, and Taiwan had become her sad point, so after burying Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Mei-ling hurriedly left Taiwan for the United States, and never came back.
To this day, many people still think that the marriage between Soong Meiling and Chiang Kai-shek is a political marriage, and those who hold this view believe that at that time, the Soong Meiling family was already a well-known rich man, her father Soong Yaoru was a good friend of Sun Yat-sen and an important supporter of Sun Yat-sen's revolution, and Soong Meiling's second sister Soong Ching-ling was also married to Sun Yat-sen at that time, and Chiang Kai-shek wanted to marry Soong Mei-ling to see the powerful political interests behind Soong Mei-ling.
However, the editor did not dare to agree with this view, to know that Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling first met at the banquet of Soong Ziwen in 1922, when Chiang Kai-shek was still just a hairy young man, he certainly did not know that he could become the president of the Republic of China in the future, in Chiang Kai-shek's diary at that time, when he first met Soong Mei-ling, he was deeply attracted and could not sleep at night. So began a 5-year crazy pursuit.
Song Meiling
At that time, Song Meiling had more choices, and on her terms, there were many men who had better conditions than Chiang Kai-shek at that time, Zhang Xueliang was one of them, and the two stones were earlier than Chiang Kai-shek, and there was a period of interaction. In addition, if the two are only politically married, it is difficult to maintain a 48-year married life.
Song Meiling, who came to the United States, was lonely and lonely in her life, and Chiang Kai-shek's death hit her hard, and she was no longer the "first lady" who had unlimited scenery. The relatives around her also left her one by one, such as Song Ziwen, Song Xialing, etc. are ancient, and the second sister Song Qingling in the mainland also has no contact for many years due to different political views, and Song Meiling in her later years has become a lonely widow, the only descendant of the Kong family who accompanies her.
On October 24, 2003, the old man, who had endured three centuries of ups and downs, finally passed away at the age of 106, leaving no historical memoirs, not even oral history, she said, "Leave everything to time." Before dying, Song Meiling tearfully said two things to the descendants of the Kong family, one was that she had not been able to leave a descendant for the Jiang family in her life, and she was very ashamed in her heart. The second can't live with Han Qing.
Listening to the centenarian's last words, the people around him could no longer bear to burst into tears. After Song Meiling died, she was not buried with Chiang Kai-shek or in the Soong Cemetery in Shanghai, but chose to be buried in a foreign country. Now that Song Meiling has left us for 15 years, the rights and wrongs about her will slowly diminish with the passage of time.
