Speaking of the Republic of China period, some people miss the gathering of masters, and some people hate corruption. The people at the bottom are struggling like ants; the upper classes are enjoying life night and night, and the neon lights of Greater Shanghai are flashing every night.
The most famous family in the Republic of China is undoubtedly the Song family, and the three sisters of the Song family have left a pivotal role in history, even the Song Ziwen under the aura of the sisters and sisters has also played a pivotal role in the history of the Republic of China.
He and his wife Zhang Leyi also gave birth to three daughters, and the new generation of Song sisters, although they did not have the important position of their aunts in history, their lives were equally exciting.
The three sisters of the older generation of the Song clan
When it comes to the three sisters of the Song family, the first thing that comes to mind must be Song Xialing, Song Qingling, and Song Meiling, and indeed, they have played a very important role in China's modern history. The three sisters were born in a democratic and education-oriented family, and the father of the three Sisters, Song Jiashu, believed in Christianity and attached great importance to the education of the children in the family, especially the girls.
As she grew older, Song Jiashu sent the three sisters abroad one after another to receive Western education, and the younger sister Song Meiling followed her second sister Song Qingling to the United States when she was a teenager and received a full set of American education.
The three of them not only had a good education, but also a happy marriage. Soong Ching-ling was revered as the mother of the nation and unswervingly promoted Sun Yat-sen's ideas on the road of revolution; Soong Mei-ling married Chiang Kai-shek, the first Chinese in speeches at the US State Department; Soong Ching-ling married Kong Xiangxi, who was good at accumulating wealth and rich on one side.
All three were married to well-known figures of the time and had a profound impact on twentieth-century Chinese history.
Unfortunately, in the end, the eldest sister Song Xialing and the younger sister Song Qingling eventually left the United States and eventually died in the United States, and the second sister Song Qingling stayed on the mainland and wrote a letter to her little sister who was far away in the United States at the last moment of her life, hoping that she could come to Beijing to see her for the last time.
However, due to various reasons, In the end, Song Meiling failed to make the trip, and the two did not see each other for the last time. The two sisters are separated by yin and yang.
A new generation of song sisters
The popularity of the three sisters of the Song family is too great, often making people forget that there are men in the Song family, and Song Ziwen is one of them who is often forgotten.
Song Ziwen was actually very powerful, he was a politician, diplomat, and financier during the Republic of China. When he went to the United States to study finance, he entered Harvard University to study finance, and after returning to China, he served as the minister of finance of the Republic of China.
However, in the later period, he wantonly co-opted the United States to pay for weapons to attack the Liberated Areas, supported Chiang Kai-shek in launching a civil war, and took the opportunity to inflate state monopoly capital and private bureaucratic capital after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Song Ziwen married Zhang Leyi, the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Guangzhou at that time, and gave birth to three daughters, Song Qiongyi, Song Manyi, and Song Ruiyi. All three of them have a "Yi" in their names, and there is actually a lingering relationship in it.
When Song Ziwen first returned to China, he was entrusted to teach Sheng Aiyi, the daughter of Sheng Huaixuan, a heavy minister of the late Qing Dynasty, and both of them were young. A romantic feeling filled the two men's side, and the old man's red rope and Cupid's love entangled them at the same time.
Unfortunately, Sheng Huaixuan did not agree with the matter between the two and directly poured a bucket of ice water on the fiery hearts of the two. Song Ziwen was discouraged and left Sheng Aiyi, but the two agreed to be together when Song Ziwen became famous.
It's a pity that there are so many "musts" in the chaotic world. Song Ziwen married Zhang Leyi during this period, and in order to commemorate this love, Song Ziwen embedded the word "Yi" in the names of the three girls.
Song Ziwen and Zhang Leyi had a very stable relationship after marriage, and gave birth to three girls one after another. The eldest daughter, Song Qiongyi, was born in 1928, because she was the first child, so this child was meticulously loved by her parents. At that time, the situation in China was very chaotic, and Song Ziwen and his wife did not dare to send their children to school, so they directly asked famous teachers to teach at home.
The growth trajectory of Song Ziwen's three daughters is also similar to the growth trajectory of his sisters and sisters, all of whom went to a foreign country to study at a young age.
Song Ziwen's daughter Song Qiongyi went to Hong Kong when she was nine years old, and then turned around and went to the United States to study, and Song Manyi also followed her sister to the United States when she was young, and later to Singapore. The third sister, Song Ruiyi, grew up with her parents, and after studying in the United States for a period of time, she found her own Ruyi Langjun.
The three sisters did not have the ability of their aunts to win the storm, they were too well protected, and they did not have the domineering spirit that their aunts brought with them, but they were small family jasper.
The eldest girl, Song Qiongyi, under the introduction of her father, met Feng Yanda, the grandson of the founder of Shanghai Yong'an Department Store at that time, and the identity status of both families was very suitable.
Both young people also have a study background of studying abroad, and their feelings are stable and stable to get married, and after marriage, the husband and wife have two sons and live a stable and rich life in the United States.
Song Man-yi is married to Yu Jingpeng, a wealthy businessman in the Canadian medicinal materials business, who is of Chinese Singaporean descent. As early as his ancestors discovered the value of Chinese herbal medicine, so the family started the international Chinese herbal medicine business early, and by Yu Jingpeng's generation, the business was not small.
After getting married, the two set up a new company in Hong Kong and gave birth to a man and two girls. The family lives a happy life in Singapore.
Compared with the two sisters, the younger sister Song Ruiyi is the first one to get married. The little sister who went to school in the United States met her true destiny at the University of Michigan in the United States, when she was only eighteen years old, because the Chinese studying at the University of Michigan were basically famous and prestigious, so the two were also considered to be the right ones.
The Yang family created their own industry in the Philippines and are a well-known local noble family. After graduating, Yang Chengzhu returned to the Philippines to inherit the family estate, and Song Ruiyi also followed him to the Philippines, and the two had two sons and two daughters after marriage.
In fact, only the family that the little sister married is the real magnate, but she is the most low-key of the three sisters, outsiders can hardly spy on her life, and the only thing people know is that her life is very happy.
Song Qiongyi, Song Manyi, and Song Ruiyi, the three second-generation Three Sisters of the Song Family, although they did not have the courage and decisive wisdom of their aunts, they had a happy and happy life. There was all the happiness that a woman could think of in that era.
This also reflects the huge gap between the rich and the poor in that era, and the children of the poor family may have left the arms of their parents early and worked hard for their own meals; but these three girls can have the best educational resources of that era, the love of their parents and a happy marriage.
summary
The three sisters of the second generation of the Song clan are definitely three people "born in Rome", and at the moment of national crisis, they did not affect the beautiful life and life trajectory of the three people. They still have gorgeous clothes, gold and silver jewelry, and fine wine and food, and although the life of the three of them is not as beautiful as their aunts, they also have their own lives.
