Chen Jieru, how many people still have an impression of this name? In fact, she is not very famous in China's modern history, but her former husband is a central figure in the history of the Chinese nation, he is the president of the Kuomintang, Chiang Kai-shek.
There were still many women in Chiang Kai-shek's life, of course, there were 4 wives on the surface, namely Mao Fumei, Yao Zhicheng, Chen Jieru and Song Meiling, and Song Meiling was also a woman who accompanied Chiang Kai-shek through his last years.
But in fact, before Chiang Kai-shek married Soong Meiling, he still had a wife, and he had not yet divorced, that is, today's protagonist Chen Jieru, but at that time, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to successfully ascend to the throne and wanted to gain the support of the powerful Soong family, so it was undoubtedly extremely necessary to marry Soong Meiling, which was also the reason why Chiang Kai-shek decided to abandon Chen Jieru later.
Of course, as a wife, Chen Jieru naturally did not agree to divorce Chiang Kai-shek at the beginning, after all, in the old society, divorce is not a good thing for a woman, but later the old Zhang Jingjiang is also constantly telling Chen Jieru about the pros and cons, and the last Chen Jieru is helpless, in addition, Chiang Kai-shek also gave her such a promise, that is, she will continue to supply her living expenses and study expenses, and her marriage with Song Meiling is actually a political marriage, wait until the right time, I will definitely remarry you.
In this way, Chen Jieru finally embarked on the journey to study in the United States in 1927, but what made her feel extremely sad was that just after she left, Chiang Kai-shek issued a marriage statement with Soong Mei ling, which also mentioned the sentence "Yao Chen Ershi, who originally had no marriage contract, is now disassociated from Zhongzheng." ”
Indeed, this sentence was undoubtedly a naked betrayal in Chen Jieru's eyes, and she really did not expect that Chiang Kai-shek would be such a capricious villain, but what is the use of regret now?
Then Chen Jieru also wanted to understand, and then she began to study hard in the United States, and also achieved very good results, but what made Chen Jieru feel very uncomfortable was that she still could not forget Chiang Kai-shek, so she also wrote several letters to Chiang Kai-shek in the United States, of course, whether Chiang Kai-shek received it is not clear, it is estimated that he will not reply to it.
And until Chen Jieru returned to China again in 1933, after chiang kai-shek is still still sentient, arranged her to live in Shanghai, and also constantly gave her living expenses, and later after Chiang Kai-shek's defeat and escape, did not take her, and Chen Jieru chose to live in Shanghai with her adopted daughter, and also served as a member of the CppcC Committee of Shanghai Luwan District.
In addition, in her later years, Chen Jieru also wrote "Memoirs of Chen Jieru", it is reported that at that time she also used this to blackmail Chiang Kai-shek to give him a million US dollars, otherwise she would consider publishing this book, and finally Chiang Kai-shek also agreed, but with Chiang Kai-shek's death, "Chen Jieru's Memoirs" was still published.
In her later years, Chen Jieru's life was still very enviable, Chiang Ching-kuo bought him a building, but she liked to live in a rental house, and then lived by rent collection, such a day is actually very comfortable.
In 1971, Chen Jieru died of illness in Hong Kong at the age of 66.
