Today tells the story of Li Zongren and his third wife, Hu Yoursong. Let's not talk about Li Zongren's original wife, Li Xiuwen, nor about Li Zongren's "peaceful wife" Guo Dejie, but about Li Zongren's last wife, Hu Yousong.
There are two reasons, one is that when Li Zongren was 75 years old, he married 27-year-old Hu Yousong; the other is that Hu Yousong was rumored to be the illegitimate daughter of "movie queen" Hu Die.
How powerful is Li Zongren? He was a representative figure of the "Gui clan"; he made great contributions in the Jiang-Gui War, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation. In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in many battles, Taierzhuang was the most famous, which was the largest victory since the All-out War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression after the Ping-type Guanda Victory.
In 1949, the Gui forces led by Bai Chongxi were annihilated, and Li Zongren had to take the opportunity to flee to the United States. From 1956 to 1965, he used ten years to send his assistant Cheng Siyuan to Beijing to meet Premier Zhou in preparation for his future return to the motherland.
In July 1965, Li Zongren returned to Beijing as he wished, and Premier Zhou and many leaders personally greeted him. Li Zongren was very grateful, and then took the speech in his hand to say that he was older and his body was not as good as before, and he only hoped to be able to do his part for the motherland, but fortunately, he could return to the embrace of the motherland in his lifetime, and he could raise his life in China.
However, what surprised him was that his wife Guo Dejie, who had returned from the United States several times, was diagnosed with breast cancer just after returning to China, and eventually died.
Hu Yousong happened to appear in Li Zongren's vision a few months after Guo Dejie's death, and Li Zongren could be said to have fallen in love with her at first sight.
Hu Yousong was originally an orphan who was adopted by Zhang Zongchang's aunt Shen Wenzhi by chance.
There are also rumors that Hu Yousong had eczema when she was young, and her mother Hu Die sent her to the north in order to allow her to get treatment; because Hu Die heard the doctor say that the humid climate in the south was not conducive to the cure of eczema, she could only entrust her to Shen Wenzhi, who Hu Di thought she could trust, and pay Shen Wenzhi a considerable fee.
In fact, Shen Wenzhi was not good to Hu Yousong, and he spoke ill of each other at every turn, even punching and kicking, and soon the considerable expense was squandered by Shen Wenzhi.
Shen Wenzhi actually wanted Hu Yousong to start a black market business, Hu Yousong knew that it was time to change her fate on her own, with the help of her neighbors and neighborhood committee leaders, she studied hard and was admitted to a key middle school with superior results. She knew that Shen Wenzhi would not let go of any opportunity to use her, so she could only find her own way and enter the nursing school.
But after entering the hospital, she had to face tuberculosis people who were on the verge of death every day, which made her really uncomfortable. So at a dance party, she revealed to a friend that she wanted to change jobs, and her friend was Zhang Chengren, and he and Li Zongren's assistant Cheng Siyuan were old acquaintances.
That will be Guo Dejie just died, Li Zongren whether in life or psychological need someone to take care of, Cheng Siyuan has long been looking for candidates, perhaps providence, Hu Yousong appeared at this time, it just so happens that she is a nursing professional. So under the mediation of Zhang Chengren and Cheng Siyuan, Hu Yousong thought it was a strange interview meeting, but he did not expect it to become a blind date scene.
In fact, Li Zongren has long known that everyone intends to let him remarry for his physical and mental health, but in many blind date photos, he has not been in the picture, until he saw Hu Yousong's photo before he relaxed and said that he would meet him.
After Li Zongren saw Hu Yousong himself, he showed his frank nature as a soldier, bluntly saying that Hu Yousong was better looking than the photo, and frankly said that he wanted to hire her as a nurse with a high salary of 100 yuan per month.
However, Li Zongren did not forget that his ultimate purpose was to marry her, probably after meeting her for the sixth time, Li Zongren directly proposed to her, which was the second time Hu Yousong was flattered, but her childhood experience made her develop a calm and calm personality, so she proposed that she needed time to consider.
A few days later, the impatient Li Zongren said that Premier Zhou also agreed to the marriage, and as soon as this word came out, Hu Yousong was like a calm needle and no longer hesitated, because she did not expect that Premier Zhou was also paying attention to this matter.
In 1966, 75-year-old Li Zongren and 27-year-old Hu Yousong were married in Beijing. On the night of the cave flower candle, Hu Yousong looked at his new house, with mixed feelings and silent tears. Perhaps shen Wenzhi brought too much shadow to himself, and suddenly felt bitter; perhaps he did not expect to marry a husband who was so old.
However, Li Zongren promised to treat her well. After marriage, Li Zongren was very considerate to her, knowing that she slept lightly and was easy to wake up, so he proposed to sleep in separate rooms; in the middle of the night, he knew that she loved to kick the quilt, and always barefoot helped her gently cover the futon before turning away.
Shortly after the marriage, Li Zongren was diagnosed with rectal cancer. He died on the night of January 30, 1969, at the age of 78. Before his death, Li Zongren had two major regrets, one was that the motherland was not reunified, and the other was his widow Hu Yousong.
Everyone thought that Hu Yousong married Li Zongren for his huge wealth, but in fact, after Li Zongren's death, she only left a small part of the money for herself to eat and wear, and the rest was donated to the state and those in need.
For the rest of her life, she accompanied the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for the rest of her life. Died of rectal cancer in 2008, 69 years old, in fact, Hu Yousong was not terminal cancer, or treatment, but she felt that li Zongren was destined for a lifetime, even cancer is the same, so she is willing to end her life.
