During the Republic of China period, the three sisters of the Song clan have always been a legend, of which Song Qingling is recognized as a talented woman who combines beauty and talent.

However, in 1949, when Song Qingling, who has always been respected, returned to his home, he was actually blocked out of the door by soldiers of our army and was not allowed to pass. Song Qingling angrily directly ordered the driver to turn around, rushed into the Sanye Headquarters, and complained to Chen Yi. What's going on here? Why did the soldiers of our army block Song Qingling's way? Today, Lao Yan will take you to understand. Before the start of the main topic, new friends should not forget to pay attention to it, which is convenient for reviewing the previous content and not missing the wonderful content after that.
Song Qingling was stopped outside his house
On May 27, 1949, Shanghai finally ushered in the liberation, marking another big step forward in China's liberation war. The news of the liberation of Shanghai also made the people of the whole country boil with blood, and Mr. Song Qingling, who was also excited, shouted: "Thank god!" We are finally free to breathe! ”
At that time, in order to standardize the behavior of the soldiers after entering Shanghai, before the Battle of the River Crossing, the Third Field Army formulated the "Ten Rules of the Three Conventions on Entering the City". The CPC Central Committee expressed great satisfaction after receiving Chen Yi's draft entry into the city. In order not to affect the order of Shanghai, it was stipulated at that time that the People's Liberation Army could not consume after entering Shanghai. The soldiers ate first to the suburbs dozens of miles away, and then sent to the city.
The soldiers of the People's Liberation Army also strictly abide by this norm, and because of this, there was a little misunderstanding with Song Qingling. After the liberation of Shanghai, the People's Liberation Army sent a regiment of troops to Song Qingling's apartment to serve as a guard. After all, Shanghai has just been liberated, there are many hostile forces remaining, and Song Qingling's identity is extremely special. According to the orders of the organization, the soldiers came to Song Qingling's apartment to protect Song Qingling's personal safety.
In order to eliminate all risk factors and prevent the infiltration of hostile elements, a strict order was issued to this guard force: only enter and exit, not enter. In addition, these soldiers only knew that they had to protect this apartment, and as for who lived in it, it was not clear, nor had they seen Song Qingling's true face, so there was this small episode.
One day, Song Qingling went out to run an errand, and when he returned home after the matter was done, he was stopped outside the door by the guard unit and was not allowed to enter. Song Qingling's entourage first got out of the car to coordinate, but the guards strictly followed the discipline and did not tolerate it at all, and strictly refused the request to go in. It means that no one is allowed to enter without a pass, otherwise instructions from the superior are required. In the face of the resoluteness of the guards, Song Qinglingqi directly ordered the driver to turn around and drive the car directly into the Sanye Headquarters.
After Song Qingling arrived at the Sanye Headquarters, Guo Huaruo, who was the political commissar of Sanye at the time, hurried out to greet him, understood the reason for the incident, and explained: "Everything is a misunderstanding. Later, accompanied by Guo Huaruo, Song Qingling was sent home. At that time, when Song Qingling went to the Sanye Headquarters, Chen Yi was holding a meeting outside because of an important matter, and when he came back, he knew about this matter and couldn't stop sighing. The two of them hurried to Song Qingling's mansion and came to the door to apologize.
"Mrs. Sun, it's hard for you, because we didn't explain it clearly." Chen Yi explained with a look of shame, at this time Song Qingling's anger had almost dissipated, and he even waved his hand to indicate that the matter had passed. But in order to apologize, Chen Yi and Nie Fengzhi walked straight out of the door and said, "Today, let me stand for you on a shift." ”
The reason why Song Qingling, who has always been well aware of great righteousness, was so angry because as early as before, when the People's Liberation Army had just come to Shanghai, there was an unpleasant misunderstanding with Song Qingling, and the two times added up, which made Song Qingling feel a little bit of turmoil in his heart. And Chen Yi would be so guilty that he offered to personally stand guard for Song Qingling.
Song Qingling's apartment was requisitioned
At that time, although the People's Liberation Army took Shanghai in just 16 days, it was not easy. After the Battle of the River Crossing, a large number of Nationalist troops remained in Shanghai, and these people built strong fortifications in Shanghai in advance, which made the Platon Pay a certain price when attacking Shanghai.
Therefore, after the People's Liberation Army entered Shanghai, it began to build its own defensive area, in which a battalion of the 178th Regiment of the 60th Division of the 27th Army was assigned to The Middle Huaihai Road, and Song Qingling's apartment was also located in this location. In order to consolidate the results of the battle and prevent the enemy from counterattacking, after some terrain analysis, the battalion selected a house opposite the Wukang Building as the best defense point, which was Song Qingling's apartment.
Unknowingly, the company commander led a group of soldiers to the door of the house, and the people who came to open the door saw that it was the People's Liberation Army armed with real guns, and they were at a loss for a while and did not know how to deal with it. Before he could speak, he heard the People's Liberation Army say that it would requisition the house. The concierge was naturally unhappy, and wanted to requisition someone else's house for no reason, and the two sides quarreled at the door.
When Song Qingling heard the voice, she also came to the door, and when she saw these imposing People's Liberation Army standing outside the door, she thought of the Kuomintang army that had run amok in Shanghai before. Thinking that this was a soldier coming to his home to grab something, he said to the People's Liberation Army very angrily: "This is the Song Mansion, I am Song Qingling, you can't settle here, if you have to come in, let your Commander Chen Yi come and talk to me." ”
Song Qingling's words made the PEOPLE's Liberation Army realize that this may not be an ordinary person,000 people, so it reported the situation to the organization. After Chen Yi knew about this matter, he was very helpless, he did not expect his subordinates to do such a thing, and he was very upset and hurriedly called Song Qingling to apologize. This was not enough, Chen Yi took Pan Hannian with him to Song Qingling's home to apologize.
On May 31, deng xiaoping and others personally came to Shanghai to apologize to Song Qingling after coming to Shanghai. Not long after this incident, there was another incident of not allowing Song Qingling to enter the house, not only did Song Qingling think that the People's Liberation Army was fighting against himself, but even Chen Yi felt that it was really a wave of uneven waves. Fortunately, in the end, the misunderstanding was solved and did not have too serious an impact.
A good friend of the Communist Party
In fact, Chairman Mao has always attached great importance to Soong Ching-ling. As early as the end of the Shanghai Campaign, Chairman Mao said that he would protect those patriots as much as possible to prevent persecution by the Kuomintang reactionaries. To this end, he also specially instructed Chen Yi: "When we fight wars, we must not only pay attention to martial fighting, but also pay attention to literary fighting." The democrats in Shanghai are all our friends, and we must ensure their safety. Among them, the most important thing is Song Qingling.
Since the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen in 1925, Soong Ching Ling has always upheld Sun Yat-sen's legacy and has always resolutely chosen to side with the Communist Party. Chiang Kai-shek launched the "April 12" counter-revolutionary coup, and Soong Ching-ling even openly condemned Chiang Kai-shek. Later, when Chairman Mao was preparing to carry out an armed insurrection against Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Ching Ling also stood up and expressed his support.
The Red Army's fifth "anti- " encirclement and suppression failed, and Song Qingling was very worried about the situation of the Communist Party of China, writing an article calling on the whole country to "resolutely safeguard the legitimacy of the Chinese Soviet" and calling on international communism to stand up and lend a helping hand to the Chinese Communist Party. To this end, Soong Ching Ling also bore the Kuomintang's so-called "treason."
After the outbreak of the All-Out War against Japan, Soong Ching Ling also actively called for the two parties to temporarily put aside their prejudices, unite with the outside world, and jointly resist the Japanese and devote themselves to the War of Resistance Against Japan. It can be seen that at many important critical moments, Soong Ching Ling has actively stood up to defend the Communist Party of China. In the eyes of the Communist Party, Soong Ching Ling has also been a friend.
Therefore, after the liberation of Shanghai, the Communist Party naturally wanted to stand up and protect this friend. But what people did not expect was that these small episodes actually happened in the middle. It is also because the SOLDIERs of the People's Liberation Army strictly implement the orders and are very simple in their hearts that they have these misunderstandings.
In order to strictly implement the "Ten Rules of the Three Conventions on Entering the City" issued at that time, these simple soldiers not only did not buy things in downtown Shanghai, did not eat in the homes of ordinary people in Shanghai, but did not even go to the toilet, and pulled the feces and urine into their pants. At night, in order not to disturb the people, he slept directly on the street.
You know, in fact, most of these People's Liberation Army are from poor rural areas, the first time they come to a big city, it is inevitable that they will be curious about new things, but in order to abide by discipline, they will suppress all curiosity in their hearts. Song Qingling saw all this in his eyes, and naturally unraveled the misunderstanding and knot in his heart for the PLA in the future.
In fact, the reason why the People's Liberation Army issued such an "impersonal" order at that time was because before the People's Liberation Army entered Shanghai, it had always been under the jurisdiction of the Kuomintang, and most of the people in Shanghai did not understand the behavior and style of the People's Liberation Army, and the first impression given to the people after entering the city also determined the development of future work.
The Communist Party understands that the state wants not only a city, but also the people's hearts and minds of the people in the city. Under such a concept, after the Communist Party entered Shanghai, it preserved the original appearance and order of the Shanghai people and the city to the greatest extent, and the Communist Party's approach also deeply touched many Shanghai people, which is also the biggest reason for the future communists' hearts.
Song Qingling was invited several times to attend the founding ceremony
After the three major battles, the liberation of New China, Song Qingling, who knew the news, was very excited. After the founding of New China, Soong Ching Ling also firmly sided with the Communist Party and showed the world the face of New China in "China Today". It is such a great contemporary female leader, who has contributed to the cause of China's liberation, and naturally should be invited to attend the founding ceremony. But when Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou invited Soong Ching-ling to attend the founding ceremony, Soong Ching-ling did not agree.
In fact, as early as 1946, Soong Ching Ling said that he was "inclined to the Communist Party" rather than "pro-Communist", and claimed that he would not accept any position given by the Chinese government. Regarding the attendance at the founding ceremony, Soong Ching Ling twice refused Chairman Mao's invitation. When the invitation plan was at a loss, Chairman Mao ordered that a special envoy be sent to Shanghai to invite Soong Ching-ling in person.
Originally, Premier Zhou was supposed to go and invite Soong Ching-ling, but because we knew at that time that Chiang Kai-shek was preparing to sabotage the information of the founding ceremony, Premier Zhou could not get away for a while. Therefore, the organization arranged for Deng Yingchao to go forward, Liao Mengxing as an entourage, Liao Mengxing had also been Song Qingling's secretary before, and was a very suitable candidate.
After the two arrived in Shanghai, they found Song Qingling for the first time, and after some greetings, Liao Mengxing said: "Beiping is now the new capital, and Sister Deng and I have come to invite you to Beijing and participate in the new CPPCC on behalf of Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou." But Soong Ching Ling resigned on the grounds that Peiping was the sad place for Sun Yat-sen's death. So Deng Yingchao then handed over the invitation letter written by Chairman Mao himself to Song Qingling, in which Chairman Mao earnestly expressed the hope that Song Qingling could go north to discuss important matters. In addition, there is a handwritten invitation letter from Premier Zhou.
Song Qingling, who saw the letter, was very touched in his heart and said that he needed time to think about it again. Two months later, Song Qingling finally agreed to participate in the founding ceremony, but also put forward three conditions. The first of these is that there is no need to hold a welcome meeting for it, everything is simple. Second, after arriving in Beiping, Song Qingling hoped to visit General Zhang Zhizhong and thank him in person. Chairman Mao gladly agreed to these two conditions.
The third condition put forward by Song Qingling was that he hoped not to inform others of the news before arriving in Beiping. That is, to arrive in Peiping secretly, and no one needs to go to the station to meet you. Song Qingling's status is noble, and it is really a bit shabby not to send someone to greet him, and it is impossible to say it. This request of Soong Ching Ling made Chairman Mao very embarrassed. To this end, Premier Zhou stepped forward to solve this matter. First, a list of people to go to the station to meet was drawn up, and then sent to Song Qingling for a glance, allowing him to choose the people who could go to meet him.
In this way, the two sides reached an agreement, Soong Ching Ling came to Beiping, and at the first plenary session of the Chinese Political Consultative Conference held later, she was appointed vice chairman of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China, and at the founding ceremony, she was the only woman standing in the first row of the Tiananmen Tower.
Just as the so-called no fight is not acquaintance, it is precisely because there are some small misunderstandings, small frictions, and finally make each other more understanding, in the future, Soong Qingling also firmly chose to stand with the Communist Party.
