Dai Kasa is famous, stays by the side of the old Chiang Kai-shek, has long been engaged in the work of agents and spies, leads the military command, and because he is mysterious, he is called a mysterious figure in Asia by the American "Colliers" magazine and one of the most mysterious figures in China's modern history.
However, when the Secret Service was expanded to become a military command in 1938, Dai Kasa did not hold the position of chief director, but a deputy director. It is not small, and the world knows it.
He is Chen Lifu. During the Republic of China period, there were four major families, namely the Chiang family, the Song family, the Kong family and the Chen family, and the words were: "The Chen family party under the Jiang family, the Song sister Kong family cai".
Chen Lifu is from the Chen family, in 1925, Chen Lifu, who had just obtained a master's degree in mining from the University of Pittsburgh in the United States, became the private secretary of the old Chiang Kai-shek after returning to China, and rose step by step to become the youngest secretary general in the history of the Kuomintang.
The profound knowledge of the Jiang and Chen families can be traced back to the relationship between Chen Qimei and Lao Jiang (Chen Qimei was Chen Lifu's second uncle, and Chen Guofu was also Chen Qimei's nephew), Chen Qimei and Huang Xing were the left and right side of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's left and right humerus in the early days of the Xinhai Revolution, and Chen Qimei was brotherly with Huang Qimei and Old Jiang, Chen Qimei was the eldest, and Old Jiang was the third oldest.
Later, Chen Qimei was assassinated by the people sent out by Yuan Shikai, and no one dared to deal with it, and only Lao Jiang went to collect the body for him, which could also understand Lao Jiang's feelings for the Chen family.
However, Chen Lifu's memoir "Lessons from Success and Failure" written in his later years talked about his involvement in politics, saying: "In my recounting of the past, my heart is heavy, and I must repeat it again, in the past few decades of political career, I have lacked interest, I have always been obsessed with becoming an engineer, maybe this is a mistake." ”
In 1938, the military command was established, Dai Kasa served as the deputy director, Chen Lifu served as the director, the actual leader was still Dai Kasa, and Chen Lifu served as the minister of education.
"I have devoted myself to the party and the state for decades, participated in many party and government work, won or lost, and waited for fairness, only this period of education and administrative work in wartime, although it may not be able to achieve the ideal, has finally done my best for the country." I always feel that the educational and cultural work of the centennial tree people is the most meaningful and positive work, and the establishment of educational and cultural undertakings is the most fruitful 'long-distance' investment. ”
There are unified standards for the entrance examination and graduation examination of China's universities, which also began with Chen Lifu, and Chen Lifu also formulated a loan system to fund students from war zones who have no financial resources.
According to incomplete statistics, during the war, from middle school to university graduation, there were about 120,000 people who completed their studies by loans or public funds, including Yang Zhenning, Li Zhengdao, and others, who were able to successfully complete the Southwest United University and also benefited from this system.
As Chen Lifu said, his greatest achievement lies in education, which is beautifully done.
However, when the Kuomintang defeated the mainland, Chen Lifu was at odds with Chen Cheng, another of Old Chiang's confidants, and Old Jiang also intended to eliminate Chen Lifu, who had been in the Kuomintang for several years and had a clear understanding of Old Chiang's thoughts, and then during a conversation with Old Chiang, he took the initiative to say that he should take office.
In 1950, Chen Lifu left Taipei with his whole family, and finally settled in the town of Laikewu outside Hulin City, New Jersey, usa, and compared to the Song family, the Kong family and the Jiang family, the Chen family did not have much money, Chen Lifu settled in the United States and set up a chicken farm, or borrowed money from everywhere to put the chicken farm down, but fortunately, the profits were good, and the family did not worry about eating and wearing.
