Before the new China, most of the Chinese drank cold water, on the one hand, there was no extra firewood to burn water, on the other hand, it was also related to habits. But in fact, boiling hot water is much more hygienic than drinking cold water directly, and it is also very good for the body, Chiang Kai-shek is a person who loves to drink boiled water, and he must drink warm water.
However, Chiang Kai-shek may not have been for health at first, but simply related to the chaotic private life of his early years. In order to save the heart of his third wife, Chen Jieru, and also for the sake of his own body, Chiang Kai-shek developed a good habit of drinking only boiled water.
Before Chiang Kai-shek met Soong Mei Ling, he belonged to the typical wanderer, and his love history can be said to be chaotic, and he often lingered in the land of fireworks. For this reason, he contracted "flower willow disease" at a young age, which was more troublesome at the time and difficult to cure.
However, at that time, Chiang Kai-shek was the time when the spring wind was triumphant, and even if the wind was not well evaluated, he also married two wives successively, but the time was not long.
Later, Chiang Kai-shek met Chen Jieru, who once made him crazy, and in order to pursue Chen Jieru, Chiang Kai-shek could not care about his face and adopted a stalking method. After receiving the affirmation of Chen Jieru's parents, he finally succeeded in holding the beauty and making her his third wife. After the two sides got married, Chen Jieru soon found that she had inexplicably begun to have a rash on her body, and she herself did not know the reason at first, but Chiang Kai-shek knew very well what the reason was.
Chiang Kai-shek took Chen Jieru to the hospital for a check-up, and quickly confirmed his conjecture that it was indeed "flower willow disease", which chiang kai-shek had been infected outside in his early years and had not been cured. Chen Jieru was once very angry when she learned that she had been infected with "flower willow disease" by Chiang Kai-shek, and according to her own later memoirs, this "strange disease" almost destroyed her marriage to Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek was not only 19 years older than Chen Jieru, but also transmitted his illness to Chen Jieru during his honeymoon, and no one could accept this kind of thing.
In a fit of rage, Chen Jieru returned to her mother's house shortly after her new marriage, preparing to sever ties with Chiang Kai-shek. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek carried forward his tradition of stalking and beating, and always apologized to Chen Jieru, and said that it was only a mild symptom, and his flower and willow disease was not serious and could be cured. At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek very seriously assured Chen Jieru that he would be clean and self-sufficient in the second half of his life, would not mess around outside again, and promised that he would be in the future
No longer drink alcohol, even tea, drinks do not drink, only drink boiled water to nourish the body
This only calmed Chen Jieru well.
Of course, the latter things are clear, Chiang Kai-shek abandoned Chen Jieru for the sake of Soong Meiling, but this habit was left behind.
However, the above content is a family statement in Chen Jieru's memoirs, although the two are closely related, it is still not ruled out that Chen Jieru deliberately smeared the possibility. In addition to the reasons that Chen Jieru mentioned to her because of the flower willow disease, there is still a lot of speculation from the outside world, and there are two main statements.
The first is influenced by Soong Mei-ling, who herself also attaches great importance to health care, has been living for more than 100 years, and her healthy living habits have also infected Chiang Kai-shek, who also began to pay attention to health. The second theory is that Chiang Kai-shek, a man with very good living habits in the later period, has always maintained the requirements of a soldier for himself, of which getting up every morning with a cup of boiled water of moderate temperature is a must-do thing.
I personally feel that these two statements are not as reliable as the previous ones, and there is a suspicion of beautification, after all, Chiang Kai-shek's early life style is very clear. Instead of believing that he was truly self-disciplined, it was better to believe that he had to do it after he was infected.
Of course, in any case, drinking warm water is a good thing for Chiang Kai-shek, and his ability to stay healthy until the age of 82 is certainly inseparable from this habit. Unfortunately, a sudden car accident caused his body to completely collapse, and people are not as good as heaven.
How many of you can maintain the habit of drinking boiled water like Chiang Kai-shek, I am afraid that there are very few now, not because the conditions do not allow it, but because there are too many temptations.
