In China's modern and contemporary history, there is one person who cannot be mentioned. This person is Jiang Baili, a famous military scientist during the Republic of China period, known as a general. He was not only a military scientist, but also a literati, scholar, and political commentator, and he had contacts with Lu Xun, Xu Zhimo, and other university Confucians, and his life was legendary.
Among the legends of his life, his love singing with a woman is also his most legendary place. Therefore, the woman is not a Chinese, but a Japanese, and the two fall in love with each other when the contradictions between China and Japan are getting worse.
Jiang Baili did not have any good feelings for Japanese people in his life, so why did he marry a Japanese woman? What is the story of this?
In June 1913, Jiang Baili, who was then the principal of the Baoding Military Academy, committed suicide with a gun, although the bullet did not hit the key point and was not life-threatening, but it also needed a period of treatment.
At the request of the bureau, the Japanese embassy sent a military doctor and a female nurse to treat him. The doctor believed that although Jiang Baili did not need surgery, he needed a long-term recuperation, so he left a female nurse named Sato Nobori to take care of Jiang Baili.
During his hospitalization, Jiang Baili has always been suicidal, and Sato, in addition to taking care of his daily life, often advises him not to take his life lightly. Later, under the comfort of her Dun Dun, he gave up the idea of suicide.
Three weeks later, Sato was recalled to Kyoto by the Japanese embassy. Although she has left, her meticulous care for Jiang Baili and the comfort he has been comforting for many days have rekindled his hope in life, and he can't help but fall in love with this Japanese woman.
Sato also developed a different affection for this officer who lived day and night, but their love must be unpopular, and they were opposed by many people.
During the convalescence, the attending doctor warned Sato not to have a non-point guess. He also said that Jiang Baili already had a wife in his parents, but it was an arranged marriage arranged by his parents, and Jiang Baili had no feelings for her. Later, her parents also objected to their daughter marrying him.
However, even after being opposed by everyone, under the firmness of the two of them, love still has a happy ending.
In the winter of 1914, he married Sato at a hotel in Tianjin, and she also took the name of Samei, a Chinese woman, but only because her husband loved plum blossoms.
Jiang Baili also planted two hundred plum plants in the western foothills of Dongshan Mountain in Jiaoshi, Zhejiang, called "Plum Garden", which he used when he was preparing for the two of them to return to seclusion.
At the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Jiang Baili donated her car to the state to support the War of Resistance, and she also sold a lot of jewelry and valuables, and together with her daughters, rushed to make military uniforms and bandage gauze, and sent them to the front to save the wounded.
After the death of her husband in 1938, Mrs. Zomi went to the anti-Japanese front as a field nurse to care for wounded Chinese soldiers. She also never taught her daughters Japanese, and the name "Jiang Zuomei" was engraved on her posthumous tombstone— the name of a traditional Chinese wife.
General Jiang Baili and Mrs. Zuomei had five daughters, and these five daughters were also quite legendary, and they were outstanding figures in their respective fields. Among them, the third daughter Jiang Ying is the most brilliant.
Jiang Ying, an outstanding female vocal educator in China and a world-renowned soprano singer, is proficient in German classical art songs with a wide and beautiful vocal range. During her study abroad, she has made many achievements, and then in order to make Chinese music go international, she chose to return to China.
The reason why Xu has a husband is that she is very concerned and understanding of the cause of science and technology and the hardships of scientific workers. Despite the fatigue of several months, she only organized a large concert dedicated to astronauts to show respect and support for astronauts.
After spending some time at the Opera House, she went to the Central Conservatory of Music to teach music, which she taught for 45 years. In these decades of education, she has personally trained 26 students, nearly half of whom have achieved outstanding achievements on the international music stage.
Jiang Ying's brilliance lies not only in her musical achievements and contributions to the Chinese music industry, but also in her love with her husband Qian Xuesen.
Speaking of Qian Xuesen, no one should be unfamiliar with it. As a world-famous scientist and the founder of China's manned spaceflight, he has won the China Two Bombs and One Star Meritorious Medal, and is known as the "Father of China's Aerospace" and "The Father of China's Missiles".
It is precisely because of his return to China that the launch of China's missiles and atomic bombs can be pushed forward for at least 20 years.
The marriage of Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen is more praised as a combination of science and art, and the love between the two from childhood acquaintance, youth love to hand in hand to grow old can be described as the best example of love.
