Chiang Kai-shek was quite sentimental in his life, and there were countless affairs, and Chiang Kai-shek married four of them in succession as a legitimate wife of a name. Among them, Chen Jieru is Chiang Kai-shek's third wife, compared to other ladies, Chen Jieru's sense of existence is not strong, but she has really been married to Chiang Kai-shek for seven years.
Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jieru had a daughter under their knees, Jiang Yaoguang, who, like her mother, had been buried and forgotten by history for a long time. As the daughter of Chiang Kai-shek, why is Jiang Yaoguang rarely mentioned? What was her father-daughter relationship with Chiang Kai-shek? Is her "low profile" deliberately forgotten by the world, or is there something else hidden in it? What kind of legendary life does she have?
Chiang Kai-shek's third wife, Chen Jieru
Chen Jieru, whose original name was Chen Feng, was born in Shanghai to a merchant family and came from a well-to-do family. If she had not met Chiang Kai-shek, her life should have been like that of other rich women, and she would have married and taught her children to spend her life step by step. In 1919, 13-year-old Chen Feng was invited to a banquet held at the home of his friend Zhu Yimin.
At that time, Chen Feng was young, but his appearance was beautiful and elegant, which attracted the attention of many guests, including Chiang Kai-shek.
The host of the banquet was Zhang Jingjiang, and Chiang Kai-shek was his guest of honor, which attracted much attention. Chen Feng also looked at this majestic older man, more out of curiosity. In Chen Feng's view, both of them are just guests attending the banquet, although they have a one-sided relationship, but they will not have more intersections.
In any case, she could not imagine that Chiang Kai-shek would fall in love with her because of this short side and launch a passionate pursuit.
Chen Feng did not have any thoughts about this man who had a huge age gap with himself, but was more in awe.
Chen Feng's father also felt that the two were inappropriate, so he came forward to refuse Chiang Kai-shek's good intentions.
However, this is unlikely to make people who are in love retreat, especially those like Chiang Kai-shek who do not give up until they reach their goals.
Chiang Kai-shek did not shrink back because of Chen's father's refusal, but pursued Chen Feng more and more diligently and enthusiastically. Under chiang kai-shek's gentle attack, Chen Feng, as a young girl who was not deeply involved in the world, was naturally impressed.
In order to gain the approval of Chen Feng's parents, Chiang Kai-shek promised them that he would break off relations with his wife and concubines in the family, officially marry Chen Feng as his wife, and love Chen Feng for the rest of his life.
Because of Chiang Kai-shek's persistence and the agreement of Zhang Jingjiang and others, Chen Feng's parents were finally impressed and agreed to their marriage. On December 5, 1921, in the Yong'an Building in Shanghai, the 34-year-old Chiang Kai-shek and the fifteen-year-old Chen Feng were officially married.
After the new marriage, Chiang Kai-shek once loved this little wife, and even named her Jieru, which means white as jade.
It can be seen from this that Chiang Kai-shek initially really loved Chen Jieru, he took Chen Jieru back to his hometown to visit around, the feelings of the two people became deeper and deeper, if you have to say that there is anything unsatisfactory about this marriage, that is, Chen Jieru and Chiang Kai-shek have not had children after marriage.
The two people have no children, and Chen Jieru longs to be a mother, which has become a matter of her heart.
Coincidentally, at that time, there was a pregnant woman surnamed Xiao in the Guangzhou Civilian Hospital, who had already given birth to eight daughters before, and this time she gave birth to a female fetus, and she wanted to send someone to raise her.
Chen Jieru's friend He Xiangning knew about it and told Chen Jieru the news, and the two went to the hospital together to visit the newborn baby girl. At the first sight of the baby girl, Chen Jieru's heart unconsciously softened. Under the persuasion of He Xiangning, Chen Jieru proposed to Chiang Kai-shek that she should adopt the baby girl as a righteous daughter.
In the face of Chen Jieru's request, Chiang Kai-shek thought that although he had two sons, he had no daughters, so he agreed with Chen Jieru's opinion.
Chiang Kai-shek named the child Jiang Yaoguang, and the nickname accompanied him.
Yaoguang symbolizes Ji Rui, which shows that Chiang Kai-shek loves and values this daughter.
With children, the family becomes more and more complete, Chen Jieru and her husband and daughter live together, only feel warm and happy, she also naturally believes that this happiness can last a lifetime.
Facts have proved that Chiang Kai-shek's Sea Oath Mountain Alliance is nothing more than a mirror flower and water moon, and Chen Jieru's life in his heart is only seven years.
The seven years of living together are the seven years that Chen Jieru will never forget, but in Chiang Kai-shek's eyes, it is a stumbling block in his marriage to Soong Meiling.
Chen Jie is as gentle and humble as a gentleman, a good family, a good wife, but not a good helper. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek's career was on the rise, and Chen Jieru was not helpful to him. With the change of the times, Chiang Kai-shek no longer needs an ordinary wife, but also needs a partner who can help her realize her political dreams in life.
In 1922, Chiang Kai-shek met the elegant and beautiful Miss Song San. Song Meiling is not only outstanding in appearance, but also has outstanding ability, and has a strong family background behind her.
Her eldest sister, Song Qingling, was the wife of the giant businessman Kong Xiangxi, and her second sister, Song Qingling, was the wife of Sun Yat-sen. She herself has studied in her own country, and has extremely close ties with Us politicians and has rich network resources.
In the face of Soong Mei-ling, who was so outstanding in all aspects, Chiang Kai-shek was undoubtedly moved. Soong Mei Ling did not look up to Chiang Kai-shek, nor did she want to wade into the muddy waters of Chiang Kai-shek and Chen.
But on the one hand, it was Chiang Kai-shek's unremitting pursuit, on the other hand, it was the vigorous mediation of the eldest sister Song Yiling, who finally accepted Chiang Kai-shek.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and Chiang Kai-shek will not let go of Song Meiling, so it can only be Chen Jieru who withdraws.
Chiang Kai-shek wanted to marry Song Meiling, but he couldn't find a reason to send Chen Jieru. In order to appease Chen Jieru, Chiang Kai-shek persuaded Chen Jieru to go abroad for five years of further study, and although Chen Jieru resented Chiang Kai-shek for breaking his promise, Chiang Kai-shek repeatedly promised that after five years, he and Chen Jieru would resume their husband and wife relationship.
In the end, Chen Jieru failed to cut off Chiang Kai-shek with all his heart and chose to believe him again.
On August 19, 1927, Chen Jieru sailed overseas on the President Jackson ferry, who knew that when the ship sailed to the Pacific Ocean, Chiang Kai-shek published the "Chiang Kai-shek Notice" in Shanghai, officially announcing that he only had his original wife Mao, and the rest of the people were not husband and wife.
Now he and Chen Jieru are out of relationship, and he has only two sons in his family, and he has no wives and daughters.
Chiang Kai-shek's announcement undoubtedly told the world that his marriage with Chen Jieru was over. Chen Jieru's last luck in her heart was destroyed, she understood that she had been completely abandoned by Chiang Kai-shek, and Chen Jieru, who was full of despair, once wanted to jump into the sea to commit suicide, fortunately, she was dissuaded by the escort, so that she would not lose the incense.
In desperation, Chen Jieru could only accept the reality and went to the United States to study under Chiang Kai-shek's arrangement.
At this time, Chen Jieru and Chiang Kai-shek have divorced, she can completely abandon the past and start a new relationship life, but Chen Jieru did not do so, and the marriage with Chiang Kai-shek made her discouraged, and she never married for the rest of her life.
In 1933, Chen Jieru returned to Shanghai, and although Chiang Kai-shek reneged on his promise, she still couldn't help but miss her parents and relatives, and could only re-embark on this sad land. When Chen Jieru went to the United States, she changed the name of her adopted daughter Jiang Yaoguang to Chen Yaoguang and temporarily handed her to her mother to raise.
Now that Chen Jieru has returned to China, she has taken Chen Yaoguang back to her side, and their mother and daughter do not want to be disturbed by the outside world, simply closed the door and thanked guests, and lived a life of seclusion.
In 1945, the Kuomintang was defeated, and Chiang Kai-shek and his wife Soong Mei-ling were forced to flee to Taiwan. Chen Jieru's mother and daughter chose to stay on the mainland, and Chen Jieru did not want to have anything to do with the man who abandoned him.
In 1961, Chen Jieru and Chen Yaoguang were able to leave Shanghai with zhou Enlai's personal approval and settle in Hong Kong.
During this period, Chiang Kai-shek entrusted someone to bring a letter to Chen Jieru, expressing his guilt, and Chen Jieru replied that his grievances of thirty years were known only to Chiang Kai-shek. Time passed, and although Chen Jieru did not resent Chiang Kai-shek as he did at the beginning, she was unwilling to forgive him again.
On January 21, 1971, Chen Jieru died in Hong Kong, and the once-famous "Lady Chiang" finally died lonely, ending her regrettable life.
Adopted daughter Chen Yaoguang
Chen Yaoguang is Chen Jieru's adopted daughter, although not personally related, but deep feelings. Compared with the unfortunate and sad encounter of his adoptive mother, Chen Yaoguang's life is also full of twists and turns.
Since Chen Jieru and Chiang Kai-shek divorced, Jiang Yaoguang changed his name to Chen Yaoguang, which can be regarded as a complete separation from the father-daughter relationship with Chiang Kai-shek.
Without Chiang Kai-shek's aura shining, Chen Yaoguang still studied hard and grew up full. During this period, she and Chen Jieru encountered many difficulties in life, and Chiang Kai-shek took into account his former fate with Chen Yaoguang and allocated them 50,000 yuan for living expenses.
Although Chiang Kai-shek was ruthless first, this huge amount of money still solved many difficult problems for the mother and daughter who depended on each other.
In August 1937, Shanghai fell under Japanese artillery fire. Chen Yaoguang met a North Korean man on the way to escape, and in his daily relationship, Chen Yaoguang developed a relationship with him, but this relationship was opposed by Chen Jieru.
Chen Jieru has experienced emotional trauma, so she does not want her daughter to repeat the same mistakes, in the face of this foreign man of unknown origin, Chen Jieru does not dare to let go and let Chen Yaoguang be with him.
People who fall in love are always blind, Chen Jieru was once touched by Chiang Kai-shek's sweet words, and now Chen Yaoguang cannot resist the man's ardent pursuit.
Chen Yaoguang ignored Chen Jieru's objections, married the North Korean man without hesitation, and gave birth to two sons, although the life of a family of four is not rich, but for Chen Yaoguang, who has been sent to the fence since childhood, the family is broken, such a plain life is what she has been looking forward to for a long time.
She enjoyed the happy life after marriage to the fullest, but the good times did not last long, and this peace was soon broken.
It turned out that Chen Yaoguang's husband, An Mou, was a Japanese agent, and he had stayed in China before to explore intelligence, and he even used the particularity of Chen Yaoguang's identity to convey a lot of information.
From the very beginning, An Mou was deliberately approaching Chen Yaoguang and using her, and Chen Yaoguang, who learned the truth, was devastated. With the victory of the War of Resistance, An Mou quickly fled to avoid being arrested and disappeared from Shanghai completely, and Chen Yaoguang and his two children were abandoned.
Abandoned Chen Yaoguang not only faced the hurt of the heart, but also worried about his livelihood, thanks to Chen Jieru's help, the three of them would not be cornered.
The fate is so similar, both mother and daughter have experienced the grief of being abandoned by their husbands, Chen Yaoguang remembered his mother's past dissuasion, and only felt remorse and guilt.
Life always has to go on, and Chen Yaoguang is not willing to be helped by his mother all the time, becoming a burden.
So he began to look for a new way out, and after the introduction of his friend Zhou Anqi, Chen Yaoguang met Lu Jiuzhi, a staff officer of the Kuomintang Major General.
Red Agent Lu Jiuzhi
Although Lu Jiuzhi was a major general of the Kuomintang, he was not a follower of Chiang Kai-shek or a reactionary; he was an underground worker of our Party and a staunch follower of the Communist Party.
At the beginning of 1927, Lu Jiuzhi became acquainted with Zhou Enlai, Zhao Shiyan and other advanced young people in the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions, and under their influence, he officially joined the Communist Party and became a worker.
With the rupture of the kuomintang-communist cooperative relationship and Chiang Kai-shek wantonly slaughtering the Communists, our party urgently needs to plant a "chess piece" around Chiang Kai-shek to obtain more intelligence. Under Zhou Enlai's arrangement, Lu Jiuzhi was sent to work in the enemy investigation team.
Lu Jiuzhi successfully penetrated into the enemy's interior and provided assistance to our party's work. However, the good times did not last long, when Chen Geng was injured in the Nanchang uprising and was followed and arrested by the Kuomintang when he went to Shanghai for medical treatment.
Lu Jiuzhi was expelled from the Kuomintang for helping Chen Geng successfully escape, and was suspected by the Kuomintang.
After leaving the investigation team, Lu Jiuzhi served as a secretary in the Shanghai Merchants Bureau and continued to assist in organizing underground work.
In 1929, Lu Hisayuki was again secretly sent by Zhou Enlai to protect Sano Gaku, the secretary of the Japanese Communist Party, who had just returned from a meeting in the Soviet Union and planned to return to Japan from Shanghai, who knew that the Kuomintang had found traces and intended to arrest Sano Gaku.
In order to cover Sano Gaku, Lu Jiuzhi arranged for him to be in his home and showed him as a mentor and apprentice, but was eventually discovered by Kuomintang agents. After Sano gaku returned to Japan safely, Riku hisashi was forced to flee to Japan because of the incident.
Since 1930, Lu Jiuzhi has been wandering around Japan, spying on Japanese intelligence information, even if he bears the name of "traitor" and is misunderstood and insulted by the masses who do not know the truth, Lu Jiuzhi does not complain in the slightest.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Lu Jiuzhi became a major general of the Kuomintang Third Front, and under the introduction of various parties, Lu Jiuzhi and Chen Yaoguang had contacts.
After Lu Jiuzhi learned of Chen Yaoguang's unfortunate encounter, he was very sympathetic, and after frequent exchanges, the two people were officially married.
Although Lu Jiuzhi is more than twenty years older than Chen Yaoguang, he treats Chen Yaoguang very gently and considerately, and the old man and young wife have been very affectionate, Chen Yaoguang has gone through twists and turns, and he can also be regarded as finding a stable home.
It was only the evil that Chen Yaoguang, Chiang Kai-shek and others did not expect was the Communist identity behind Lu Jiuzhi's Kuomintang Major General.
After Lu Jiuzhi and Chen Yaoguang married, because Chen Yaoguang and Chiang Kai-shek had long since broken off the father-daughter relationship, Lu Jiuzhi and Chiang Kai-shek did not have any contact.
Lu Jiuzhi not only did not profess the Kuomintang, but also openly propagated the Communist Party's ideas in newspapers on many occasions.
In January 1949, Lu Jiuzhi joined Chen Yi, chairman of the Zhejiang Nationalist Government, in Shanghai, with the intention of instigating the Tang Enbo Uprising.
Tang Enbo pretended to agree, but behind his back he temporarily defected, and eventually Chen Yi was killed, and Lu Jiuzhi survived because of his apparent relationship with Chiang Kai-shek. Even at this time, Lu Jiuzhi was still bent on the party, and the original revolutionary intention never wavered. After that, the Kuomintang headed by Chiang Kai-shek was defeated and retreated to Taiwan, and Lu Jiuzhi and Chen Yaoguang refused to go to Taiwan together and resolutely insisted on staying on the mainland.
On January 21, 1971, Chen Jieru died in Hong Kong, Chen Yaoguang stayed in Taiwan after dealing with his mother's death, Lu Jiuzhi still chose to stay in the mainland, Chen Yaoguang repeatedly persuaded Lu Jiuzhi to go to Taiwan to live, but Lu Jiuzhi refused. Not only that, he and Chen Yaoguang's daughter have also been living on the mainland. In Lu Jiuzhi's view, the mainland was his true home and his root.
