Sun Liren was born in 1900 in Lujiang, Anhui Province, and was a post-00s generation at that time. In the early 20th century, China was still in the late Qing Dynasty, the regime was corrupt and backward, and although his family was in good condition, due to limited medical conditions, his birth mother died when he was five years old.
Although he lost his mother at an early age, Sun Liren grew up very healthy and received a very advanced education from an early age. He entered primary school at the age of seven, and then went to Germany with his father's job change, family fraternity, father valued, he did not become a left-behind child.
At that time, Qingdao, Shandong, was in the sphere of influence of the Germans, who opened various church schools in the local area in order to colonize Chinese land, and Sun Liren entered one of the Devon primary schools for study.
Fortunately, Sun Liren still maintained a good tradition of family education, not assimilated by the primary schools run by foreigners, but absorbed the advanced parts of it.
After that, my grandson went to Beijing, where he was forced to stop schooling because he could not attend school. But even so, he did not stop teaching himself.
In 1913, the National Tsinghua School enrolled students, and Sun Liren was very happy after hearing about it in Beijing, and he immediately rushed back to Anhui to take the exam. The results were very surprising, sun Liren, who was out of school, took the test at the top of the list, you know, at that time, the number of applicants was as high as thousands, which was really one of the thousands.
In this way, Sun Liren entered Tsinghua at a young age, and in 1920, he was promoted from Tsinghua School to higher subjects, during which time Sun Liren not only doubled his efforts in learning, but also led in sports performance.
At that time, foreigners ridiculed Chinese were all east Asian sick men who were infected with opium, and Sun Liren was deeply ashamed, so he had a deep understanding of basketball after studying, and led the school basketball team to achieve good results in various domestic competitions.
In 1921, he was also selected for the national men's basketball team, and in May of that year, when Shanghai bid for the Fifth Far East Games, the Chinese team defeated the then powerful Japanese team and won the championship, washing away the notoriety of the sick man of East Asia.
After graduating from Tsinghua University, Sun Liren was admitted to study at public expense, he originally majored in civil engineering, although China already has modern architecture, but most of the engineers are foreigners, modern engineering has not yet been promoted.
Sun Liren originally wanted to contribute to the construction of the country, but he did not expect that the national strength of old China was weak, and even if the buildings were built, they often could not withstand the attack of artillery fire.
To save China, to shed blood, and without a strong military, how can we talk about building a country? With such a belief, Sun Liren changed his studies to military affairs and entered the Virginia Military Academy in the United States. After completing his studies, he traveled to Europe, taking into account the various traditional military powers, and returned to his homeland in 1928 to begin a military career.
After returning to China, Sun Liren has been away from home for a long time, in fact, he already has a wife Gong Xitao in his hometown.
Sun Liren's first marriage was originally a product of the old marriage, and his original name was Gong Xitao.
Sun Liren's father, Sun Xize, became friends with Gong Tanshi during his time in Beijing, and the two families had the idea of marrying a good second surname.
At that time, due to the inconvenience of transportation, people often had a lot of friendship between the villagers, and the Gong family was a large surname in Hefei at that time, and the two families were right in the door, and they discussed with each other to marry.
Because Sun Liren lost his mother at an early age, he did not care too much about marriage, so he pushed the boat along the water to meet his relatives, but he left abroad to study shortly after marriage, because he had not lived together all along, so he did not have much affection for Gong Xitao.
After Sun Liren returned to China, he was busy with his career and did not think of taking his wife to his side. And people in the old way of thinking adhere to the idea of marrying a wife and a virtuous wife, and the wife is more important to serve the in-laws than to cultivate feelings with the husband. Therefore, Gong Xitao stayed in his hometown to take care of the elderly and separated from her husband.
Because Gong Xitao is the kind of old-fashioned woman who has a low eyebrow and is pleasing to her husband,Although she has received an old-style education, she is fundamentally the kind of woman who has three from four virtues, and is thousands of miles away, and has no influence on her husband.
If Sun Liren did not meet the later Zhang Jingying, it is likely that Gong Xitao would be taken to his side in the near future, and the feelings between the two would gradually cultivate, but history did not if, Sun Liren met the woman in his life.
Since then, Sun Liren no longer has a foothold for Gong Xitao, and she has been taking care of her in-laws in her hometown and has never seen her husband again.
Who is That Jingying?

In 1930, Zhang Jingying was a Xiang girl who studied in Nanjing, only 17 years old at the time, she was hot and active by nature, and she was very good at all kinds of social and sports.
Sun Liren met her at a dance party, and as if glowing in the crowd, Sun Liren took a fancy to her and invited her to dance several dances. Zhang Jingying faced the serious Sun Liren, completely without stage fright, and smiled like a flower.
Sun Liren has since had such a little beauty in his heart, as long as there is time, he will come to her, dancing, riding horses, climbing mountains, swimming, Zhang Jingying is almost omnipotent, which completely provoked Sun Liren's interest. He was completely infatuated with this young girl and wanted to spend his life with her.
However, the feelings between them were jointly suppressed by the elders, and Sun Father believed that Sun Liren's original wife had done her duty in her hometown and had no fault, so why was she hughed and went home? What's more, this marriage is a union of two families, and the entanglement for so many years is not so easy to separate.
However, the feelings of young people are often more and more enthusiastic the opposition, and Sun Liren completely ignores the family's opposition to marryIng Zhang Jingying.
After that, the two forged a love nest in Nanjing and lived together.
At this wedding banquet, sun's parents were not attended, and then personally sent his daughter-in-law Gong Xitao to Nanjing, asking Sun Liren to recognize his original treatment. They also specifically instructed the hired workers' servants to call Gong Xitao his wife when they saw him.
Unfortunately, marriage without love cannot be guaranteed by identity and privilege, Gong Xitao is in a very embarrassing situation in the new home, especially Zhang Jingying's mother also lives with them, she can't stand such an identity, so she soon returned to her hometown to continue to serve her in-laws and take care of the family property.
After 1949, the Kuomintang defeated Taiwan, and Sun Liren left the mainland with Zhang Jingying. At that time, he was more than half a hundred years old and still had no children under his knees, which was quite regrettable.
Sun Liren originally thought that this was because of the infertility caused by serious trauma in his early sports career, so he never blamed Zhang Jingying, but took care of her for decades.
Zhang Jingying was also grumpy about not bringing heirs to Sun Liren, she had begun to believe in Buddhism because of the miraculous recovery after facial paralysis, especially the karma in it, and she was not willing to let her husband have no successor, so she exhausted various methods.
Zhang Jingying first went to various places to tell fortunes, and one of the monks told her that her husband was destined to have children. Later, Zhang Jingying went to the hospital to check her body, and finally found out that the reason was that she had infertility.
Zhang Jingying was very regretful, she did not want her husband to have a lifetime of regrets, so she tried her best to make Sun Liren a concubine.
However, at that time, the Kuomintang had already issued an order not to allow concubines, and if Sun Liren married Zhang Jingying because of love, then now they were in love, and there was no reason to take concubines at all.
But Zhang Jingying knows that her husband abandoned the possible children in order to love herself, but she thought more for her husband, as a famous general, she made great contributions to the War of Resistance, and Sun Liren should not be killed because of love.
Taking a concubine for the sake of children is completely beyond Sun Liren's belief, he has not agreed, Zhang Jingying actually used the "killer skill".
One day, Sun Liren discovered that Zhang Jingying had suddenly chosen to take refuge in Buddhism and become a lay practitioner at home. Sun Liren understood that Zhang Jingying was forcing him to take a concubine, and if he did not agree, I was afraid that she would leave herself and go to the temple to officially settle down.
So Sun Liren agreed under the persuasion of Zhang Jingying.
The girl Zhang Jingying chose for Sun Liren was a nurse, her name was Zhang Meiying (Zhang Meiying), a native of Taiwan, who admired the name of General Sun Liren so much that she was willing to enter the door as a concubine.
Zhang Meiying did not expect that Zhang Jingying actually became a practicing layman herself in order to let her enter the door, just to create an opportunity for her and Sun Liren to be alone.
She is also a kind person, in the face of Zhang Jingying's sacrifice, she is very grateful, after marriage, she worked hard to take care of General Sun Liren and the family, to make all matters fresh and refreshing, and to Zhang Jingying is very respectful.
He even gave birth to 4 children for Sun Li, all of whom are scientists.
Three
Sun Li and Zhang Meiying have no physical problems, and it is only a matter of time before they have children, and the two also gave birth to four children after marriage, and the family is neat and tidy, but they are caught in the political turmoil.
All along, Sun Liren was jealous of Chiang Kai-shek. Because Chiang Kai-shek was supported by the Americans, his performance in the War of Resistance was well known, and he had neither military ability nor management ability, which led to the collapse of the Kuomintang forces on the mainland for a while, and the people's hearts were lost.
And Sun Liren has achieved a lot of success, and the military school he attended is also the West Point in the minds of Americans, so in a country like the United States that believes in strength, people usually show obvious preference for Sun Liren in various diplomatic matters.
However, the defeat of the United States in the Korean battlefield at that time led to dissatisfaction with Chiang Kai-shek and indirectly provoked Chiang Kai-shek's internal relations. Chiang Kai-shek was already a bit caught up in the fire, but he took into account public opinion and set up a so-called investigation committee.
During the review, Sun Liren was indignant and tore open his shirt to reveal his accumulated wounds, making it clear that if he participated in the mutiny, he would rather be shot immediately.
In the face of such a general as Sun Liren, who truly served the country and the people, Chen Cheng of the review committee felt uneasy and tried to protect his innocence in front of Chiang Kai-shek. However, Chiang Kai-shek neither dared to kill Sun Liren nor let him go, so like Zhang Xueliang, he put him under house arrest.
The place where Sun Liren was placed under house arrest was a remote military dormitory, and his treatment with Zhang Xueliang was far apart. Having lost all his position and source of income, he had to feed his family on his own. So from this time to thirty-three years later, the bloody general began to engage in various agricultural work.
Because Zhang Jingying is a layman, she does not live with Sun Li and Zhang Meiying in Taipei. Only Zhang Meiying accompanied Sun Liren to house arrest and took care of family affairs, and both of them and their children lived in poverty.
Losing his freedom and losing his income at the same time, Sun Liren could not go out to find a job, and the difficulties of life could be imagined. In order to survive, his hand that originally held the gun picked up the hoe. According to Taiwan's regulations, there will be tuition reductions for military children, but Sun Li's family does not, in order to let her children receive education, Zhang Meiying sold her most valuable jewelry to maintain the family's expenses.
During the most difficult period, Sun Liren's family was unable to survive, and Zhang Jingying had no choice but to entrust Sun Liren's former secretary Xiao Yiwei to write a letter to Chiang Kai-shek, which allocated a little from Chiang Kai-shek's special expenses to make ends meet.
In the face of all kinds of difficulties, Sun Liren did not bow to Chiang Kai-shek, and he struggled to survive in order to earn money to support his family. He tried all kinds of special breeding, chickens, flowers, canaries, and roses, but these did not make much money.
Later articles said that sun liren general roses were very famous, in fact, these roses were not sold at first, but the seedlings sent to sun liren's sister in the United States after hearing that he was under house arrest.
After various attempts, Sun Liren began to plant orchids, and he found a variety of orchid seedlings, sword orchids, phalaenopsis orchids, and even bypassed house arrest through various channels to see orchid exhibitions outside. Later, the scale of orchids planted by Sun Li became larger and larger, and their fame became more and more popular, and they could earn some money to make a living.
Orchids are very delicate plants, and Sun Liren raises four children like orchids and waits for the flowers to bloom.
Four
According to the recollection of Sun Liren's son, his father was a very determined person, he lived a regular life, had strict requirements for his own details, had to get up on time every morning, and exercise rarely stopped.
Even under house arrest, Sun Liren did not have more conditions for exercise, but he would definitely stand in the courtyard at a fixed time every day and make various swimming and golfing movements. It's almost like broadcast gymnastics, and Sun Liren's exercises are never stopped.
Perhaps it was around Sun Liren that several of his sons and daughters had cultivated such a spirit and physique.
Sun Liping's second son, Tianping, said that Sun Liren attached great importance to his cultivation of ancient Literature, and began to recite the "Ancient Literature Guanzhi" in the third grade of primary school. From junior high school to high school, he had to go home every day after school to help his parents work, what to carry water to water trees, turn over the soil and plant vegetables, such as cleaning is considered light.
It is because Sun Liren never raises his children intensively, so his children have developed strong muscles, and the whole family is united in one heart, living a full and simple life.
Although Sun Liren was born after the age of fifty, they all became scientists.
The eldest daughter, Sun Zhongping, studied nuclear physics at Tsinghua University (Taiwan) and later received a doctorate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, and later entered IBM's research center as a researcher. Until now, she is still working at TSMC, not long ago on the Internet screen is her, when many people are gossiping, asking why the top chip industry conference has a mediocre old aunt? The people are the high-level warriors of the ancestral school bully genes.
The eldest son, Anping, holds a master's degree in physics from Tsinghua University and has been running for his father's wrongdoing, and he is a fighter for injustice. It was precisely because of his shouts and appeals that Sun Liren's unjust case surfaced and the truth was revealed.
The second son is an MBA from the College of William and Mary in the United States, and as a witness to history, he has participated in many interview programs and told the public about that unbearable historical period. He then worked as the Regional Director of Hermeser Technology and participated in the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Anti-Japanese War in 2015.
The second daughter, Taiping Sun, is a tenured professor at Duke University and is equally outstanding in her field.
In this way, Sun Liren has indeed cultivated 4 talents.
As a hero of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Sun Liren was treated unfairly, which was a manifestation of Chiang Kai-shek's loss of heart. However, after losing the East Corner and reaping the Mulberry Yu, General Sun was able to meet Gong Xitao, Zhang Jingying, Zhang Meiying and other three people successively, which was really a blessing for his life.
Although Gong Xitao has no feelings for him, he takes care of his parents; Zhang Jingying loves Sun Liren to the point of completely forgetting himself, which will force him to take a concubine; Zhang Meiying has not abandoned him when he was under house arrest, and this period of true love in the world makes people tear up.
And Sun Liren's descendants are so excellent, and his own integrity and strength are inseparable, and those who can survive the difficult years will definitely have rich returns.
Just like orchids that can experience wind and rain, they will surely reveal their fragrance.
