In 1914, Sun Yat-sen's second daughter Sun Wan and Wang Boqiu were happily married, and the "old man under the moon" was his father Sun Yat-sen. Unfortunately, the later Sun Wan decided that her father was the destroyer of her marriage.
Right Sun Wan
Until the 73-year-old Sun Wan, when recalling the past with her daughter Wang Honghui, who had not met for 50 years, she still solemnly talked about her own opinion of her father Sun Yat-sen.
Sun Yat-sen had three children, the eldest son, Sun Ke, the eldest daughter Sun Jiao, and the second daughter Sun Wan. In 1912, Sun Ke took his two younger sisters to study in the United States, who knows, in just one year, the eldest daughter of Sun Yat-sen, who looked exactly like Sun Yat-sen, died of a serious illness. Sun Yat-sen was heartbroken, thinking that his second daughter Sun Wan lacked care abroad, so he entrusted Wang Boqiu, who was studying at Harvard, to take care of her.
Wang Boqiu was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, with excellent academics and ability to do things, and was deeply valued and appreciated by Sun Yat-sen.
In this way, Wang Boqiu accepted the task of taking care of Sun Wan, who knew that after one or two, Sun Wan, who was in the cardamom age, and Wang Boqiu, who was elegant and stable, had a love affair, quickly married and gave birth to the eldest queen, Hong Hui.
Wang Boqiu
Sun Yat-sen did not dispute the marriage. He believes that Wang Boqiu is a trustworthy young man, and the two are very affectionate after marriage, so it is reasonable to say that there should be no big mistakes.
It was not until 1919, when Wang Boqiu returned to China with Sun Wan, who was pregnant with her second child, that Sun Yat-sen learned that Wang Boqiu had concealed his marriage history. At the age of 15, he married Li Chengxiang, the daughter of his father's official colleague, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. Sun Wan knew about these situations, but the parents on both sides knew nothing about it.
After receiving her son's confession letter, Wang Boqiu's mother immediately issued an order: You yourself should return to Nanjing alone, and you are not allowed to take Sun Wan with you.
Sun Wan when she was young
Before Wang Boqiu left, he reluctantly bid farewell to Sun Wan: "Wan, I will go back quickly, please wait for my good news." You and your children should take care of yourself! "Who knows, he didn't come back after this walk."
After Wang Boqiu returned home, he was immediately reprimanded. His original partner, Li Chengxiang, had just lost his beloved son, and her mother-in-law could not bear to tell her the news that her husband had been married and had children outside. On the other hand, although the Qing Dynasty has been overthrown for many years, the old lady's feudal thinking is deeply rooted, believing that Sun Yat-sen's opposition to the Qing Dynasty is a "great rebellion", and her son marrying such a person's daughter insults the family of the former Qing Dynasty.
To make matters worse, Sun Yat-sen, who was in Shanghai, also heard about his daughter's marital entanglements. Although Sun Wan told her father that she did not value fame and status, even if she was a concubine, she would be with Wang Boqiu. But Sun Yat-sen was a man who had been educated by modern Western civilization and resolutely advocated monogamy.
Sun Wan entrusted her sister-in-law Chen Shuying to act as a lobbyist, and Sun Yat-sen, facing his daughter-in-law, very firmly proposed that unless Wang Boqiu divorced his wife, he would not agree to his daughter's marriage.
Sun Yat-sen and Sun Wan (second from right)
Wang Boqiu got the words he said now is "Ma Bao Nan", and after tangling for a while, he finally chose to stand with his mother.
Poor Sun Wan did not know that she had been abandoned, and what was even more frightening was that her former mother-in-law, who had never met before, was extremely shrewd, not only separating Wang Boqiu and herself, but also starting the idea of two children.
Originally, although Wang Boqiu's mother vigorously opposed the marriage between her son and Sun Wan, she thought of the death of the eldest grandson Wang Jianyin, and the son and Sun Wan's sons and daughters were after all descendants of the Wang family, and she wanted to see her granddaughter and grandson.
At this time, Wang Boqiu had decided to break up with Sun Wan, feeling that he had failed Sun Wan, and had no face to return to Shanghai to ask Sun Wan for children. Therefore, the Queen Mother summoned her second son, Wang Zhongjun, to Shanghai to complete the mission. Considering that Wang Hongzhi was still in his infancy, Wang Zhongjun also brought a wet nurse with him.
When he went to Sun Ke's house to ask to see Sun Wan, he was severely refused. Just when Wang Zhongjun was frowning, thanks to the cleverness of the accompanying nurse, he suggested that Wang Zhongjun write directly to Sun Wan.
In the letter, Wang Zhongjun coaxed Sun Wanlian to deceive, saying that the old lady wanted to see the two children, and if she was happy, she would definitely agree to Sun Wan's going to Nanjing to reunite with Wang Boqiu. Sun Wan was fascinated by love, not knowing that she had long been kicked out by the Wang family, and happily handed over her two children to her titular uncle. At this time, his daughter Wang Honghui was three years old, and his son Wang Hongzhi was only a few months old.
Wang Boqiu's wife Li Chengxiang had been kept in the dark about her husband's marriage to Sun Wan, and she was completely unaware of the fact that her mother-in-law had sent Wang Zhongjun to Shanghai to retrieve Wang Hongzhi's sisters and brothers. In order not to let her daughter-in-law know the truth of the matter, the old lady fostered Wang Hongzhi's sisters and brothers outside.
But after all, the two children are too young, and foster care is really inconvenient. It just so happened that Wang Zhongjun and his wife Zhao Xinghua had been married for several years and had not given birth, and the old lady asked the couple to take the child home, falsely claiming that it was a friend who went to the United States to study and gave it to her. In this way, Wang Hongzhi's sisters and brothers entered the Wang family in a justifiable way.
It was said that Sun Wan did not know that she had been deceived, and she was still waiting for the good news from the Wang family. As the days passed, coupled with the knocking of her family, she gradually had an ominous premonition. I could only keep writing letters to Wang Boqiu and said sadly: "I have waited for you for three years, and I hope that you can change your mind and return to my side." ”
Wang Boqiu's performance was no different from that of the scumbag, and at first he replied to a few letters in a false way, but later he not only did not reply to the letter, but even did not read the letter.
In 1921, Sun Wan understood that waiting was useless, and she was worried about her mother who was far away in Macau, so she left the sad Shanghai and went to Serve her mother in Macau, this year, Sun Wan was only 24 years old.
Lu Muzhen
Unexpectedly, after arriving in Macau this time, Sun Wan unexpectedly met Dansai, a true son of heaven and a doctor of philosophy from Columbia University in the United States.
Dane Sai's knowledge and personality are deeply appreciated by Sun Ke, so Sun Ke deliberately matched his sister and achieved a marriage, and the two entered the marriage hall after a few months of acquaintance.
Sun Wan's marriage was supported by her father Sun Yat-sen and stepmother Song Qingling, who could not get out because he was too busy with state affairs to specially entrust Song Qingling to write a letter to Sun Wan to congratulate him and send a gift of 4,000 yuan as a "dowry".
But this money Sun Wan did not take the slightest, she gave the money to her mother Lady Lu, in her heart, she was still resenting her father for forcefully interfering in her marriage with Wang Boqiu, so that she could not even see a pair of children.
Even when Sun Yat-sen died in 1925, Sun Wan still refused to see her father for the last time. After writing his will, Sun Yat-sen, who was critically ill, gave a photograph to his daughter and son-in-law as a souvenir. This photo, Sun Wan has been kept for 54 years.
Sun Wan Dane Sai
Only 85 years after Sun Yat-sen's death and 21 years after Sun Wan's death, her daughter Situ Qian returned the photo to the government and said that "this is Ms. Sun Wan's confession to her father", and this long-standing feud was satisfactorily resolved.
In fact, Sun Wan did not understand her father's good intentions at all, even if the two sides compromised that year, her marriage with Wang Boqiu was difficult to continue. She does not care about fame, is willing to bow down and be small, and even willing to be a concubine for Wang Boqiu, but there is a strong and shrewd old mother in the Wang family, and the original wife is like a door god, how can her life be better?
And although Wang Boqiu is talented, he is not a person with single-minded feelings. He only obeyed his mother's orders, and in 1924 he married another wife, Liu Mingshui, and his private life was really not very commendable.
Fortunately, Sun Wan's second marriage was very happy. Dai Ensai's care and affection for her made Sun Wan's former emotional pain feel comforted. In May 1921, after the birth of his daughter, Sun Yat-sen was preparing for the Northern Expedition, so he named his granddaughter Dai Chenggong. The following summer, when his son was born, Sun Yat-sen, in order to commemorate his shipwreck on the Yongfeng ship, named his grandson Dai Yongfeng and appointed Dai Ensai as the customs supervisor of Wuzhou and the special guangxi negotiator of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
After Sun Wan remarried, she still could not rest assured of a pair of children in the Wang family. She once analyzed that Mrs. Wang thought of feudalism over daughters, and took away her son Wang Hongzhi's iron bounds, so she wanted to bring her daughter Wang Honghui back to her side, but unfortunately, the answer she got was "no."
Over time, Sun Wan's spirit was stimulated, and she often fainted when she initiated the disease, gradually giving people the impression of being "neurotic and sluggish".
In any case, Sun Wan and Dane Sai loved each other warmly. Although she refused to meet her father, during Sun Yat-sen's serious illness, Dai Ensai had been taking care of her father-in-law in Beijing, and the two could not meet, and often Hongyan passed on letters to express his heartfelt feelings. Sun Wan once wrote in a letter: "You are the only person in the world who has given me warmth and happiness; I know your enthusiasm, and I cannot live in this world without you." ”
In February 1929, Dainsai was appointed Minister of Brazil, and Sun Wan prepared to accompany her husband to the post. Before leaving, she did two major things, one was to participate in the Feng'an Ceremony, witnessing her father being buried in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing, and the other was to meet with Wang Boqiu to discuss the issue of custody of her children.
In the roof garden of Shanghai Xianshi Company, the former lovers met again, and Sun Wan was disappointed to find that only Wang Boqiu and his wife Li Chengxiang came to visit, and the two children were not brought at all. In desperation, she took Li Chengxiang's hand and begged her to take good care of the child, and then embarked on the road to Brazil.
Sun Wan and Wang Boqiu's two children
Wang Boqiu is a prominent figure in culture and education, influenced by his friends, preparing to enter the political arena and intending to become a legislator. Who knew that Sun Ke suddenly became the president of the Legislative Yuan, and he always took to heart Wang Boqiu's bad behavior of abandoning his sister and snatching his children.
After Wang Boqiu's death, one summer night, when Wang Hongzhi was rummaging through books, he found a large unsealed envelope with dozens of photos, many of which were photos of Sun Ke and his sister Sun Jiao and Sun Wan, as well as photos of Wang Boqiu and Sun Wan. But he didn't know anyone but his father.
But there was a passport that caught his attention in particular. There was a picture on the passport of a young girl holding a small child who looked like both sister and herself, and he was curious.
His uncle Wang Zhongjun told him about Wang Hongzhi's origins, and for the first time Wang Hongzhi knew that he was actually Sun Yat-sen's maternal grandson. But at the same time, he heard a lie from Li Chengxiang that his birth mother was long gone, so he never had the idea of looking for her.
Sun Wan's life here is not easy. After the Japanese invasion of Guangdong, Dain Sai's work at the customs was stopped, and there was no income during the eight-year War of Resistance, and Sun Wan and her husband worked hard all day in order to maintain their lives.
The Japanese once threw an olive branch to Sun Wan's family, and the consul in Macao once sent a bag of rice to Sun Wan's mother, Lu Muzhen, who resolutely refused to accept it, showing the backbone of Sun Wan's family.
After the founding of New China, Sun Wan moved to Macao with her husband Dai Ensai and her daughter Dai Successfully, and her son Dai Yongfeng stayed at Lingnan University in Guangzhou to serve new China. Who knew that in 1952, Dai Yongfeng suddenly fell ill and suffocated after vomiting blood. Dynesay could not bear this mental trauma and followed his son 3 years later.
After Dynsai's death, Sun Wan's mother and daughter lost their financial resources, so they had to sell their real estate and open a small antique shop to sell the antiques left by Dynsai to make a living.
Later, the central government learned of the mother-daughter dilemma, and the Macao branch of Xinhua News Agency donated 3,000 Hong Kong dollars a month to help them. Chiang Kai-shek also sent people to Macao to persuade Sun Wan to go to Taiwan to spend her old age. Sun Wan has always remained politically sober and resolutely rejected Taiwan's proposal.
But not all that came from Taiwan was bad news, and in 1969, a letter was delivered to Dai Chenggong and Sun Wangan's daughter Situ Qian, a confession written by Wang Honghui, a daughter who had been separated from her mother for 50 years.
When Wang Andihui and her husband Tax Lanzhou were doing business in Taiwan, they accidentally learned that their birth mother, Sun Wan, was still alive. She wrote to Chiang Ching-kuo, then defense minister, asking him to help find Sun Wan's whereabouts.
Wang Anderson with her husband
Kuomintang elder Liang Hancao knew Sun Wan's past with Wang Boqiu very well, and he found Sun Ke, and through Sun Ke's relationship, Wang Honghui learned of his mother's address and wrote a warm letter acknowledging his cronies.
Who knows, after Dai successfully saw the letter, she hesitated, and she was very reluctant to let the half-sister meet her mother. Sun Wan and Wang Boqiu's emotional entanglement, not many people know, the outside world only knows that Sun Wan and Dan Sai gave birth to a daughter and a son. This time a daughter suddenly appeared, and Dai Chenggong was worried that it would affect his mother's reputation.
Fortunately, after persuasion, Dai successfully reversed his views and finally agreed to meet his mother and sister. The scene of mother and daughter meeting and crying does not need to be mentioned again, Wang Honghui returned to Taiwan after staying with her mother for a month, and Tibi told her brother Wang Hongzhi about the meeting process, but for various reasons, Wang Hongzhi never saw his mother who missed day and night, which caused him to regret for life.
Left one Dai successfully succeeded right One Situ Qian
Due to the complexity of the identification process of the Wang family's siblings, when Soong Ching-ling died in 1981, Dai Chenggong, as a granddaughter, could stand next to the statue of Soong Ching-ling on the rostrum, while Sun Yat-sen's only maternal grandson in the mainland, Dai Chenggong's brother Wang Hongzhi and his family could only stand under the rostrum to mourn.
Fortunately, it did not take long for him to be informed by the United Front Work Department of the Shanghai Municipal CPC Committee that he could attend all commemorative activities related to Sun Yat-sen as his grandson.
However, Sun Wan could not see all this, she completed her life path in 1979, at the age of 83, Beijing paid for all the medical expenses of her 8 years of hospitalization, and the organization never forgot the descendant of Sun Yat-sen who experienced hardships.
