If you must find a representative of a delicate girl in the Republic of China period, I think Song Meiling should be second, and no one dares to rank first. Since she returned from studying in the United States, people have seen her at any time, and she has maintained the most elegant posture, wearing the most exquisite makeup and saying the most calm words.
She would never give anyone a chance to see herself without powder. This is her posture as a woman who returned from staying in the United States, as the daughter of the rich Song family, and as a new star in the social circle.
Even Chiang Kai-shek, who was her husband, had confessed that he never seemed to have had the opportunity to see Soong Mei Ling's plain face, most of the time it was a quick glance, and she had already avoided makeup again. Not afraid to let Chiang Kai-shek see her true face, but I feel that I should show the best side in front of the people I love the most.
The first time Chiang Kai-shek saw Soong Mei-ling, he was attracted by her peerless countenance. It is not that Song Meiling is earth-shatteringly beautiful, but that she was 24 years old at the time, her temperament was outstanding, her makeup was exquisite, and she was as dazzling as a fairy in a group of ladies and ladies at that banquet.
Chiang Kai-shek glanced at her in the crowd and never forgot her countenance. Then he kept thinking about marrying this woman who combined beauty and talent, as well as a prominent family, back home as a wife.
So in the year when he was 40 years old, he abandoned all his wives and concubines in the family and launched a crazy pursuit of Song Meiling. At that time, he was already the president of the Republic of China, and he was undoubtedly the best choice for Song Meiling.
After marriage, Song Meiling's strictness of her own grooming has reached an outrageous point.
She never showed her face, even if she was already the first lady, she had been doing the whole process of makeup alone for decades, and rarely agreed to be around. And the time she spends every day on makeup is at least two hours.
Usually, even if you are sick, you will insist on makeup, light makeup. And this habit continued until her death at the age of 106. People sitting in wheelchairs can also be calm and elegant, and their faces are like peach blossoms. Although it is slightly old, it really makes it impossible for you to take your eyes off her.
If this is just not enough to see Song Meiling's dedication to beauty. She also has a more exaggerated habit, that is, she never removes her makeup when she sleeps at night, and she falls asleep with delicate makeup.
After getting up in the morning and taking a shower, I put on my makeup again. It means that when she only takes a bath every day, she is plain-looking.
Therefore, we can fully feel the helplessness of Chiang Kai-shek, and his wife, who has been with him for 48 years, has no chance to see her true face.
