In 1994, Kong Lingwei, the second young lady born into the Kong family, died in Taiwan Province, which alarmed Song Meiling, who had been recuperating abroad for a long time. Despite her ninety-six-year-old age, Song Meiling flew from the United States to Taiwan on a special plane, and the first lady of the people, who had disappeared from public view for more than twenty years, actually flew back to her "hometown" again for a little girl.
The funeral of Miss Kong Jia'er was grand and luxurious, and the people present were either rich or expensive, which shows how high the status of this Miss Qianjin was before she died. Song Meiling wept bitterly at the funeral and took care of her afterwards. It's just that the huge amount of property left by Miss Kong Er has attracted everyone's attention, and it has exposed her lifelong greed and corruption.
So, why is Song Meiling so attached to this Miss Kong Er? Where did she come from?
Arrogant Kong Lingwei
This Miss Kong Er is named Kong Lingjun. The second eldest in the family, the mother is the eldest of the three sisters of the Song family, Song Yiling, and the father is kong Xiangxi, the heir of the Kong family, among the four major chaebols. Such a birth background doomed her to be extraordinary. Growing up with a golden spoon has also changed her personality a lot.
The reason why she was named "Ling Jun" in the first place was to hope that this girl would be smart and handsome when she grew up and become a real girl. The word "Ling" means beautiful, and the word "Jun" represents beauty. However, Kong Lingjun's life can be said to have completely failed to live up to the beauty of this name. Not only did he fail to receive a good education, but he also lived in a wandering state.
When she was a child, Kong Xiangxi sent her to the academy, and she carried a stick with her. By the age of ten, he had become a famous shooter. Because the Kong family had a great cause, after climbing the Song age, they came into contact with the arms business, which was specially supplied to the government and military departments. The family's warehouse has a variety of guns and ammunition. These have become the "toys" of the second miss.
Guns and ammunition are tired of playing, and riding and driving are on the agenda. At the age of thirteen, he drove a car on the road and ran amok, causing criticism from the people. Kong Lingjun was dissatisfied with the people chewing their tongues behind their backs, and actually led a group of people to the street to fight under the blue sky and daylight. In school, he even brought a group of young gangsters to instigate infighting. One by one, the school broke her heart on her, after all, her background is not something that anyone can afford.
Even if Kong Lingjun did something big, her parents were very arrogant and indulgent to her. Don't say that in school, even at home for the maid, she also wants to fight, scold if she wants, and the arrogance and arrogance fall in Kong Xiangxi's eyes as a personality and arrogance. The other girls had either beautiful clothes or toy portraits in their rooms, while her room contained men's shoes and suits, and she bought four or five expensive pipes. Even when he goes out, Kong Lingjun has always been dressed up in men's clothing.
These "strange" operations of hers were not only not stopped, but also greatly appreciated, and Song Xialing believed that her daughter had the style of her father and was a "treasure" of the Kong and Song families. Kong Lingjun hated that her name was too feminine, and changed "Jun" to "Wei", believing that she would inevitably be able to ascend to the status of "great man" when she grew up. With such a backbone child, the two families are really happy to close their mouths.
With a good personality and excellent dress, Kong Lingwei's out-of-line affairs are far from over, and the year of twelve years old became an opportunity for her life to change. That year, she was seriously ill, and Song Xialing was too busy to take care of other children, so Song Meiling appeared in front of Kong Lingwei's hospital bed and took good care of her.
In order to alleviate her pain, Song Meiling ordered someone to cut off her long hair and change her into shorts and short sleeves. This is the change in her image this time, which gives her a new understanding of her gender.
Song Meiling's relationship with Kong Lingwei
Kong Lingwei's illness is taken care of by Song Meiling, and she realizes that her men's clothes are better than women's clothes. So in front of everyone, he cut off the skirts and women's clothes in the cupboards. He drove to the department store with his driver and maid to buy more than a dozen sets of men's clothing.
He ordered them to shout "Second Young Master" when they saw him later, and his behavior made everyone very confused. But she was praised by Song Meiling, who believed that her niece would have a big career in the future.
In 1927, Soong Mei-ling and Chiang Kai-shek married, and the combination of the two was a progression in "Sino-US" relations and a manifestation of the transaction of money and power. In order to help Chiang Kai-shek take power, Song Meiling used all her connections, and Kong Lingwei saw that she had a closer relationship with her sister-in-law and gained more power and status in her hands.
Having been given the right, this second lady acted even more recklessly. When cooperating with the anti-Japanese resistance, he issued an order to ban fires at night in order to prevent the Japanese from bombing the building with fighter jets, but Kong Lingwei not only drove the car and shook two headlights, but also wandered around unscrupulously. This angered the soldiers stationed in the garrison, Kong Lingwei drank wine, and regardless of the hesitation, he stepped on the accelerator and directly injured the soldiers who were blocking him, and flew away.
This kind of behavior caused dissatisfaction from the National Government, and after receiving strong condemnation, Kong Lingwei was a little panicked, everyone was fighting for the anti-Japanese resistance, but she injured the soldiers, and Heaven forbid. In order to save his life, Kong Lingwei found Song Meiling and cried, and also poured all the dirty water on the soldiers. Song Meiling didn't say anything about agreeing to help her, in fact, he learned the truth of the matter before Kong Lingwei came.
Song Meiling gave the family of the hit soldier a large amount of consolation money, and also attended the trial meeting to debunk the rumors, which suppressed the voice of public opinion.
Just after this incident, Kong Lingwei had another accident, she put on women's clothes on a whim to hang out on the street, just happened to meet the Yunnan warlord Long Yun's son Long Rope had flirted with girls, but she was angry that she directly hit Dragon Rope for the girl. The dragon rope did not recognize her for a moment, and he provoked her language. But when Kong Lingwei pulled out his pistol, the dragon rope was paralyzed, Kong Lingwei did not dare to kill him, the other party was a powerful person, if he caused trouble, he was afraid that he would not be able to end.
But the gun has been pulled out, and I'm sorry for the scene if I don't put it twice. So Kong Lingwei fired several shots at the other crowds in order to deter Long Shengzeng. Unexpectedly, the angle was not properly grasped, and three ordinary people were seriously injured, which aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone.
Dragon Rope was afraid to blacken his father, and not only gave them a large amount of money, but also sent someone to send them home. But Kong Lingwei drove away from the scene, so the contrast made Kong Lingwei fall into public opinion.
This time, Kong Lingwei did not hesitate, or ran to his aunt to complain, and hoped that his uncle could really avenge him and imprison Long Shengzeng. But the War of Resistance Against Japan was imminent, and Long Yun's troops were reorganized and all fighting on the front line, how could they hurt his son. Although Kong Lingwei did not get the answer she wanted, with the help of Song Meiling, she was also confiscated and punished.
Corrupt and leave huge sums of money
Kong Lingwei's misdeeds made Song Meiling a little worried, who would want such a girl to be a daughter-in-law when she grew up? How can we be happy in the future? She worried about Kong Lingwei all these things, and when Chiang Kai-shek learned about it, he sent special people to help Kong Lingwei find his in-laws. At this time, someone gave him an idea and let Hu Zongnan marry Kong Lingwei.
Hu Zongnan was a close confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, and it would not be best if he could get close to him. Chiang Kai-shek agreed very much when he heard it, but Hu Zongnan did not want to marry a man who was neither male nor female at all, but Chiang Kai-shek's orders must be listened to, and in order to get rid of Kong Lingwei, Hu Zongnan showed a straight male demeanor. The first time we met, we took Kong Lingwei to the forest for a walk, which was a full two hours.
Kong Lingwei wore a cheongsam and high heels, which was no match for Hu Zongnan, who was born in the military. A pair of feet grinded a lot of bubbles, Hu Zongnan not only did not care after seeing it, but also laughed at her poor gas, so angry that Wei's face was white. Then the two went to dinner, Hu Zongnan prepared only a large piece of cake, Kong Lingwei did not even eat it and ran away, and vowed never to be with Hu Zongnan again.
After Hu Zongnan's crisis was lifted, Kong Lingwei again took a fancy to Lin Shiliang. Lin Shiliang was a prodigal prince, and knew that Kong Lingwei's family had a great cause, so he deceived her with clever words, got the opportunity to get rich, and smuggled arms, and Dai Kasa directly arrested him after he knew.
Kong Lingwei ran to Chiang Kai-shek's house and cried and made trouble, hoping to save his lover. However, Dai Kasa understood that once he released the tiger back to the mountain, he would not only die, but he would not know what Lin Shiliang would do to hurt heaven and nature in the future, so he directly executed him. Upon learning of Lin Shiliang's death, Kong Lingwei's heart was like ashes, and she never looked for a partner to marry again, and doing business to earn money became her main theme.
She used her father Kong Xiangxi's connections, and then used the rights of her aunt and uncle to gain all the market share in just a few years, expanding the business to the United States. There were special people there to take care of it, and all the money earned went to Kong Lingwei himself. In 1949, after the end of liberation, Kong Lingwei followed Song Qingling to Taiwan Province of China.
In order to return to her old business, Song Meiling established the "Grand Hotel" to give Kong Lingwei to take care of, Kong Lingwei to fill his own pockets, and the private account earned twice as much money as she handed over. Then she began to open hospitals, bars, what can earn money and what she does, because of her status and political background no one dares to do anything about her.
Even though Chiang Kai-shek's father and son withdrew from the stage of history and Song Meiling rushed to the United States to recuperate, Kong Lingwei still mixed up in Taiwan Province, and all government officials had to give her "offerings." In 1992, Kong Lingwei was diagnosed with cancer and suffered unbearable pain in a hospital in Taipei, and even then she did not give others a good face, scolding nurses and doctors.
But this time, everyone was unwilling to get used to her, and it wasn't long before the people in the hospital heard that they were going to take care of Miss Kong Er, and no one was willing to go. In order to be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible, Kong Lingwei spent a lot of money to invite someone to do surgery, but it was not successful, and his condition deteriorated for a while. After a few days of dying in a hospital bed at the age of 75, Song Meiling flew from the United States to Taiwan Province for the first time to mourn.
Song Meiling was very sorry for this niece, and she cried and fainted several times at the funeral, and the servants who served them all said that the two people were more like a mother and daughter. Song Meiling affectionately called "Kong Lingwei is her lucky star", when the Japanese army in the Battle of Songhu, wanted to assassinate Song Meiling to rub Chiang Kai-shek's vigor, but because of Kong Lingwei's troublemaking, she saved her life.
That is, from that time on, Song Meiling especially cared for her.
After Kong Lingwei's death, his finances were counted, and he had $120 million in his personal account and about $280 million in bonds and assets. This also shows how greedy she was before she died, but in the end all these assets went to his sister Kong Lingyi. For the Kong family, this money may not be much, but for other commoners, it is the wealth of several lifetimes.
