Review
Sun Liren was a well-known anti-Japanese general in China's history, he graduated from Tsinghua University, after graduation joined the National Government army, in the later War of Resistance Against Japan, Sun Liren crossed the knife and was invincible, because two very successful operations into Burma, was called "jungle fox" and "Eastern Rommel", which shows his excellent combat ability.
But such a famous general, the second half of his life is also unsatisfactory in various struggles, and even needs his own children to sing the shame for him.
Sun Liren's life outside the battlefield
Sun Liren married his first wife Gong Xitao during college, when Sun Li was 20 years old, the concept of love was not yet mature, but people in that era generally married early, Sun Liren also followed the current, and Gong Xitao was a knowledgeable woman who had gone to school, and the family conditions were not bad, which could be called the right door with Sun Liren.
But the story always has a twist, Sun Liren went to the United States to study in 1923, in the process of studying abroad, he realized the importance of love, and believed that what he experienced was not love, in this way, his concept of life and Gong Xitao's views have changed.
After returning to China, he joined the army of the National Government, and it was also by chance that he met the woman who influenced his life: Zhang Jingying.
Zhang Jingying can be described as a real big girl, she was born in a wealthy business family, sweet appearance, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, highly educated, well-informed, and was an outstanding female representative of that era.
The excellent Zhang Jingying suddenly attracted the attention of Sun Lirende, and he realized that he had encountered real love, so he launched a fierce love offensive against Zhang Jingying, and looked back like his original match Gong Xitao proposed a divorce.
In the eyes of modern people, this is a disgraceful act, but in the feudal and pedantic society at that time, this can also be regarded as an awakening.
Gong Xitao did not want to divorce, and Sun Liren's parents were also very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, angry at their son's confused behavior, Sun Liren did not want to cause a quarrel, simply moved out and lived with Zhang Jingying, the life of the two is very sweet.
Sun Liren's Waterloo
Sun Liren rode on the battlefield all his life, invincible, did not lose to the enemy, but suffered a great loss at the hands of his own people. This is because after the Defeat of the Nationalist Government in Taiwan, the suspicion between the internal high-level officials was very heavy, and Sun Liren, as a high-ranking general without the "Huangpu blood" of the Nationalist Government, also had outstanding combat ability, and was undoubtedly subject to great suspicion.
Within the Chiang family, sun Liren's rejection of Sun Liren became more and more serious, believing that he had done a great job and could not but get rid of him. But after all, Sun Liren had also made great contributions to the National Government, and directly killing him was not conducive to the internal stability of the National Government, so they decided to arrest Sun Liren for the absurd crime of "conniving at the rebellion of his subordinates" and put him under house arrest.
A generation of famous generals, in the end, even their lives and living must be monitored, without the pride and ambition in the battlefield, what remains is only the lamentation of a half-centenarian.
To make matters worse, after many years of marriage with Zhang Jingying, Sun Liren is still childless, which is because Zhang Jingying has fertility problems. In that era, which was extremely important to the succession of the lineage, this was undoubtedly a heart disease that Sun Liren would not mention but could not let go.
The children of Sun Liren
Zhang Jingying is a delicate and generous woman, who can naturally see her husband's thoughts, and she has no other way but to feel guilty.
But then she realized: Sun Liren had the opportunity to continue his bloodline, but she didn't have that ability, what if she found someone else? So Zhang Jingying began to find concubines for Sun Liren to pass on the lineage of the Sun family.
Carefully selected, Zhang Jingying looked for a nurse named Zhang Meiying, a Taiwanese native. At Zhang Jingying's insistence, Sun Liren married his third wife and gave birth to four children in order to pass on the inheritance.
As the saying goes, "the tiger father has no dog", Sun Liren's four children are also dragons and phoenixes: the eldest daughter Sun Zhongping is a doctoral student at Cornell University in the United States, the eldest son Anping is a master of physics at Tsinghua University, the second son Tianping has different master's degrees from two universities in the United States, and the second daughter is a postdoctoral fellow at MIT in the United States and is now a professor at Duke University.
In this way, several of Sun Liren's children are indeed very outstanding, and they can be called the pillars of the country.
The Road to Grievances
Sun Liren instilled correct values education in his children from an early age, so Sun Liren's children all had the right views and a successful career, and the eldest of them, Sun Anping, has been running for his father's unjust charges, hoping to return his father's innocence.
Sun Liren has been under house arrest for decades, and the side of the watch is open, but Sun Anping knows that his father must have had every sadness in his heart and did not tell others. So he embarked on the arduous road of justice for his father without hesitation.
Finally, with his unremitting efforts, in 1988, the Taiwanese institution finally recognized Sun Liren's innocence, and the veteran finally ended his thirty-three years of house arrest. In the twilight years of the two white sideburns, he regained his freedom.
Sun Liren's biggest wish at that time was to return to his homeland of Anhui to take another look, but unfortunately the time was not waiting for anyone, and in 1990, the famous general quietly passed away with some regrets.
epilogue
Looking back on Sun Liren's life, it was not all smooth sailing, he also made mistakes when he was young, and he failed others. In middle age, he was also calculated and became a victim of the official arena.
It is said that no one is perfect. He has no regrets in history, and compared with those good boys who are drunk on the battlefield and wrapped in the body of Ma Ge, Sun Liren is lucky. He is no longer saddled with "false accusations", but has become a recognized national hero. It can also be regarded as a name left in the history of Qingshi, and there are no regrets!
