As the saying goes, "The tree falls and scatters". In fact, for many famous and prestigious families, once the core figures in the family leave, the entire family may fall into an unprecedented crisis. However, this phenomenon cannot be generalized, after all, the descendants of the capable family can still rebuild the family. Jiang Xiaoyan and Jiang Xiaoci were once the children of Chiang Ching-kuo and his secretary, and despite their awkward status, they eventually developed their careers with excellent personal ability.
Presumably, everyone is very familiar with Chiang Ching-kuo. Chiang Ching-kuo was born in 1910. Before 1920, Jiang Jinguo had been studying in the mountains of Zhejiang. He was later sent to Shanghai by his father. In 1925, he went to the Soviet Union alone to study. Chiang Ching-kuo was not allowed to return to China until 1937. And in 1938, Chiang Kai-shek arranged for Chiang Ching-kuo to serve as the county magistrate in Ganxian County.
It was also at that time that Chiang Ching-kuo stepped onto the political stage of his life for the first time. Later, after 1949, Chiang Ching-kuo followed his father to Taiwan. After Chiang Kai-shek's death, he took his father's place.
Chiang Ching-kuo died in 1988, leaving behind five sons and a daughter. As the saying goes, people take tea cold. After Chiang Ching-kuo's death, what about the lives of his children? Chiang Ching-kuo's original wife was Russian and bore Chiang Ching-kuo three sons and a daughter. The eldest son, Jiang Xiaowen, was born in 1935.
He followed his father and returned to the motherland in 1937, and Jiang Xiaowen was the first grandson of the Chiang family, so Chiang Kai-shek naturally loved and pitied him very much. But in fact, Jiang Xiaowen did not take on the heavy responsibility of reviving the Lintel of the Jiang family.
He grew up abroad since he was a child, so he is very advocating freedom and openness, and his private life is also very luxurious and romantic. After his father's death in 1988, the blow to Jiang Xiaowen was very big, so he died the following year. Although his son Jiang Xiaowu was the successor that his father had focused on cultivating, in fact, he was still not concerned enough about politics, so in the end he failed to inherit the big responsibility.
In 1991, Jiang Xiaowu also died due to physical reasons. Chiang Ching-kuo's youngest son, Jiang Xiaoyong, was once very enthusiastic about politics, but he didn't know why, and suddenly one day, as if he had changed his mind, he decided not to touch politics anymore. After the family moved to Canada, Jiang Xiaoyong was diagnosed with cancer and died in 1996.
Jiang Xiaozhang is the daughter of Jiang Chingguo and his original wife, because she is a mixed-race child, so Jiang Xiaozhang has been very beautiful since he was a child, and he has countless followers when he grows up. Later, when he was studying in the United States, he and Yu Dawei's son had a mutual affection, and after the two got married, they moved their families to the United States.
And the brothers Jiang Xiaoyan and Jiang Xiaoci that we mentioned at the beginning of the article are the children born to Chiang Ching-kuo and his secretary. Moreover, before the recognition of the ancestors and the return of the ancestors, the two brothers were accompanied by their mother's surname. Jiang Xiaoyan did have some political talent and ability. Although Chiang Ching-kuo did not focus on training him before, he still became the vice chairman of the Kuomintang by his own efforts.
Jiang Xiaoci also taught at Southeast University after returning from his studies in the United States. However, people regret that when he made an academic report in 1996, Jiang Xiaoci did not know why he had a sudden stroke and unfortunately died, and it has to be said that after Chiang Ching-kuo's death, most of his sons died early, especially Jiang Xiaowen and Jiang Xiaoyong, who died one after another in less than three consecutive years after his father's death.
