In 1946, on the outskirts of Nanjing, in the bustling crowd, the shouts and curses of two peddlers were particularly harsh.
For some reason, the two quarreled more and more fiercely, and one of the vendors crossed his waist and pointed at the other party and said, "Don't be in this mighty wind, be careful of the next time you go out unlucky, let you meet Miss Kong Jia'er!" ”
Wow! The vendor on the other side suddenly changed his face, threw his burden on his shoulder, and walked away in a panic, and the spectators around him also scattered like a plague god.
The second miss of the Kong family in the mouth of the peddler is not a scare name, her real name is Kong Lingwei, and her origin is staggering: her biological father is Kong Xiangxi, the minister of finance, Chiang Kai-shek, the chairman of the committee, is his uncle, his uncle Song Ziwen is the foreign minister of the Republic of China, and there is an aunt who regards her as her own, The First Lady of the Republic of China, Song Meiling.
Kong Lingwei, who appeared at the peak of her appearance, could be a political celebrity no matter how bad she was, what kind of evil deeds did she do, and she actually became a frightening demon?
Surprisingly, such a female demon head, who everyone avoided, was actually born in a family of scholars.
Kong Lingwei's father, Kong Xiangxi, whose ancestral home was Qufu, Shandong, was the 75th grandson of Confucius, and after his ancestors moved to Shanxi, after years of operation, by his generation, the Kong family had developed into a representative of Jin merchants.
Kong Xiangxi, who was sitting on a huge asset, married Sun Yat-sen's secretary, Soong Aering, and by virtue of this relationship, Soong Ching-ling and Soong Mei-ling, two sisters of Soong,Jong-ling also married Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek, heads of the Nationalist government, respectively.
In particular, after Chiang Kai-shek came to power, Kong Xiangxi served as the chief executive and minister of finance of the National Government for a long time, and the marriage between the Kong and Song families became a powerful marriage between China's politics and economy.
After kong Xiangxi and Song Qiling were married, they could also be regarded as Qin Ser and Ming, and the two gave birth to four children in six years: the eldest daughter Kong Lingyi, the eldest son Kong Lingkan, the second daughter Kong Lingjun, and the second son Kong Lingjie.
Among them, the second daughter Kong Lingjun was born with a strong temperament, and after entering the academy, she hated that her name was not domineering enough, so she changed her name to Kong Lingwei.
This famous bridesmaid did not see the temperament of a lady at all, often fighting in the school, the school's teachers could only calm down, and the parents of the classmates were hindered by the power of the Kong family and dared not speak out.
Such connivance made Kong Lingwei even more careless, at the age of ten she became obsessed with shooting, holding a gun all day shouting and shouting to kill, and at the age of thirteen, she learned to drive, driving her own car through the streets.
Kong Xiangxi and his wife had no choice but to do anything about this rebellious child, but the little aunt Song Meiling and Kong Lingwei were very close, and she said to the eldest sister more than once: "This child has a personality like me!" ”
But Kong Lingwei did not have the style of a little aunt, she had scabies on her head when she was a teenager, and had to cut off her long hair, the family thought that this proud and delicate princess would definitely hurt herself, who knew that in the mirror, Kong Lingwei showed a smile like a new life.
It seems that from this moment on, Kong Lingwei's innate wildness was activated, and from then on she wore a large shiny and slippery back, a suit of leather and cowhide boots, and a pair of clumsy and evil outfits.
Throughout his life, Kong Lingwei showed this honor.
Political marriage is the constant routine of the rich family, and with Kong Lingwei's adulthood, she inevitably becomes a member of the political marriage.
The object of marriage with Kong Lingwei was Hu Zongnan, who was known as the "first protégé of the Son of Heaven".
At this time, Hu Zongnan was over forty years old and his appearance was not proud, while Kong Lingwei was at the age of 29 Fang, how was this marriage mentioned?
This has to be said in the context of the time.
In 1938, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered the most tragic stage, Shanghai and Nanjing were lost one after another, and the Nationalist government was forced to move the capital to Chongqing, even at this critical juncture, Kong Lingwei completely disregarded the safety of the people and acted increasingly arrogantly.
Because the Japanese often launched air raids, in order to ensure the safety of the capital, the Chongqing government formulated a ban: the night to implement light control, do not allow Japanese aircraft to search for bombing targets.
One day, Kong Lingwei came home late at night, the two headlights were bright, the patrolling soldiers saw the situation and quickly stopped her, who expected her to first scold the soldiers, and then slammed on the accelerator, knocked them down and flew away.
After the news spread, Kong Lingwei's reputation became more and more stinky, which worried his mother Song Qiling.
After several trade-offs, Song Qiling decided to marry Kong Lingwei Zhang Luo, perhaps with the constraints of love, she can change her heart?
Soon, Chen Lifu, head of the Central Bureau of Statistics, smelled the opportunity, and with his mediation, Kong Lingwei was introduced to Hu Zongnan, a fierce general whom Chiang Kai-shek relied heavily on.
Hu Zongnan was both a compatriot and a confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, and was rumored to be one of Chiang Kai-shek's "Thirteen Taibao" in the early days of the Republic of China, and as early as a year earlier, Zhou Enlai had met with the American journalist Edgar in northern Shaanxi. When Snow shi, he also said: The most capable commander under Chiang Kai-shek is probably Hu Zongnan.
However, this marriage of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix made Hu Zongnan restless, and he had heard of Kong Lingwei's bad deeds earlier, but he did not know how to refuse because of her relationship with Song Meiling.
In order to refuse this marriage, Hu Zongnan found his friend Dai Kasa and asked him to advise him, just at this time Dai Kasa did not want Chen Lifu to take advantage of this to ask for merit in front of Song Meiling, he counted Kong Lingwei's various evil deeds to Hu Zongnan, and said bluntly: "If you marry this woman, it is equivalent to marrying a devil." ”
Hu Zongnan listened, he already had an idea in his heart, a few days later he asked Kong Lingwei to go to the park for a walk, hindered by love, Kong Lingwei put on the high heels of the cheongsam this time, greased and powdered his hands to hold the fan, and pretended to be a famous lady with a polished back.
After the two met, Hu Zongnan fixed his eyes on it, even if she dressed like this, she was indistinguishable from male and female, and she was immediately disgusted.
He pretended to lead the way in front and took Kong Lingwei around for two hours, Hu Zongnan was originally from a military academy and had excellent physical fitness, but where did Kong Lingwei suffer such grievances since he was born? After returning home, she took off her high heels and slammed them against the wall viciously, angrily scolding: "Even if he Hu Zongnan becomes emperor in the future, I am not rare!" ”
Since being teased this time, Kong Lingwei's temperament has become more and more strange, and he hates men so much that he often makes strange moves.
In order to solve the problem of the diploma of his beloved daughter, Song Erling found several foreign professors from St. John's University in Shanghai and asked them to "make up lessons" for Kong Lingwei with heavy money.
With money and power, and the blessing of a diploma, Kong Lingwei is even more blind.
While playing in Chongqing Central Park, Kong Lingwei was teased by a small, she was furious and pulled out a gun on the spot, did not expect that this little was actually the son of Wang Longyun of Yunnan, the two did not give in to each other, beckoned their men to shoot, the result was that there were no casualties on both sides, but injured many innocent passers-by.
The next day, all the newspapers and periodicals in Chongqing published the news that Miss Kong Er had injured passers-by in the street, but Kong Lingwei still went his own way, and according to the evil deeds later, there was more than that.
Once because of driving a car violation, Kong Lingwei was stopped by a traffic police on duty to lecture, this traffic police do not know her true identity, when the street to her gushed about traffic laws, looking around to see more and more people gathered to see the lively, annoyed and angry Kong Lingwei immediately pulled out a gun to kill the traffic police.
After the tragedy was exposed, it triggered a collective strike in the national police circles, and finally Kong Xiangxi had to apologize publicly and pay a heavy amount of money to the deceased, while guaranteeing strict restraint on Kong Lingwei.
In the face of absolute power, life and dignity have become jokes.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, all the official documents exchanged for military affairs had to be examined and approved by Chiang Kai-shek, and once He Yingqin, chief of staff of the Military Commission, sent an urgent official document and put it on Chiang Kai-shek's desk.
For several days, when He Yingqin repeatedly urged Chiang Kai-shek to approve it, and Chiang Kai-shek was inexplicable, he ordered the attendant room to track it down, and this was found on Kong Lingwei's head.
Knowing that it was this niece's prank, Chiang Kai-shek only smiled in embarrassment and did not end it.
After the victory of the War of Resistance, Chiang Kai-shek's motorcade informed the docks to cross the river by ferry, who expected Kong Lingwei to cross the river at this time, and after being blocked by the guards and gendarmes, she immediately slapped the other side, and after a while Chiang Kai-shek's car arrived, saw this situation, pretended to train her a few words, and then took her to the car and left in the dust.
Because Kong Lingwei's brutal and willful deeds were too many, there was such a sentence circulating in the street: "You don't want to be angry, be careful when you go out and ask you to meet Miss Kong Er!" ”
The most influential thing about it was the "Airplane Gate" incident that caused a sensation in the country in 1941.
After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese government broke with Europe, and Hong Kong, which had been colonized by britain in Asia, became precarious.
In order to snatch up the government officials stranded in Hong Kong and people from cultural and educational circles, Chiang Kai-shek sent planes to Hong Kong to pick them up, in addition to the historian Chen Yinke, the wife of Kuomintang elder Liao Zhongkai, He Xiangning, the writers Guo Moruo and Mao Dun, as well as Kong Lingwei and his party, who were stranded for entertainment.
When the plane landed at the airport, Kuomintang first-class army general Chen Jitang and his wife took the lead, and then came out of the cabin with Kong Lingwei with a big back, and after she inspected the circle and found her two foreign dogs crouching in the cabin, she lowered her face and shouted at Chen Jitang:
"How did you two old things come up?"
Chen Jitang had been in charge of Guangdong for many years and was known as the "King of the Southern Heavens", when had he suffered such insults? He immediately said angrily, "I am Chen Jitang, Chairman Jiang invited me to come, and you are an uncultured cub!" Run this wild? ”
"I am Kong Lingwei, the second young lady of Dean Kong's family, and now that my dog has no seat, I order you to roll me down!" Kong Lingwei put on a contemptuous look.
Hearing that the other party was Kong Xiangxi's daughter, Chen Jitang had to suppress his anger and put on an old man's posture, telling Kong Lingwei about his friendship with Kong Xiangxi, hoping that Kong Lingwei could sell him face.
Before he could finish speaking, Kong Lingwei suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist and pressed it against Chen Jitang's head: "Less verbose! You capricious little man is also worthy of being my predecessor? Roll me down! ”
Chen Jitang still wanted to resist, and the adjutant on the side quickly held him down, and then he persuaded Him to get Chen Jitang and his wife off the plane.
At this time, more and more celebrities from all walks of life gathered at the airport, seeing that Chen Jitang's big man was not as good as the two dogs of the Kong family, all of them were indignant and stood in line and shouted: "Where is the national law, where is the party discipline, where is justice, where is the heavenly reason" and other slogans to protest.
At this time, the Japanese bombers attacked, and the smoke billowed around the airfield, obviously this was the last time to flee Hong Kong, so Kong Lingwei forced the plane to take off, leaving a group of chest-pounding party-state members and cultural celebrities.
Two hours later, the plane landed at Chongqing Airport, and a large number of journalists who learned the news rushed to the airport to pick up, but it was not Chen Jitang and Chen Yinke, nor Guo Moruo and Mao Dun who walked down the gangway of the plane, but Kong Lingwei's servants and 17 foreign dogs, and even personal belongings such as bed boards and toilets.
The pick-up workers were stunned.
Subsequently, the major news media exposed the scandal of the Kong family, and suddenly the whole country was in an uproar, learning that Chen Yinke's life and death were uncertain because Kong Lingwei had gone into exile in Hong Kong, and his friend Fu Sinian, a professor at southwest United University, jumped like a thunderbolt and shouted "Kill Kong Xiangxi to thank the world!" ”
In view of the strong personal connections and capital of Kong Xiangxi, the god of wealth, Chiang Kai-shek did not dare to act rashly; on the one hand, he demanded that the education departments and military and political organs in various localities jointly eliminate the influence of public opinion; on the other hand, he was forced by the situation to resign.
This sensational "airplane gate" incident, under the manipulation of political forces, has disappeared into invisibility.
Such a corrupt regime is doomed to be abandoned.
With the collapse of the National Government, Kong Lingwei and his wife retreated to Taiwan with the defeat of the Chiang kai-shek couple, relying on the national hardships and wealth accumulated in the early years, Kong Lingwei's life was luxurious and absurd, and she often slept with many noble ladies in male disguise, and even openly shouted to raise a mistress, which caused an uproar in public opinion.
When Chiang Kai-shek died in 1975, Kong Xiangxi and his wife were both ancient and had no family power to rely on, soong Mei Ling gradually lost power in Taiwan, and she said disheartenedly: "There are no relatives of mine in Taiwan, my relatives are all in the United States." Subsequently, he decided to take Kong Lingwei to move to the Locust Valley Villa on Long Island, New York.
With her niece under her knees, and her living habits are no different from when she studied here in her early years, Song Meiling's mood is undoubtedly comfortable, but Kong Lingwei does not think so.
She has been overbearing all her life, and she has to queue up here to buy a fruit, if she has not yet arrived at the stall in China, the vendors have already held the fruit for her to eat, and this psychological gap makes it more and more difficult for her to adapt.
In August 1992, Kong Lingwei returned to Taiwan on the pretext of medical treatment, where she returned to her former true colors, and gave orders to the doctors and nurses in the hospital.
Time passed, no one was willing to endure the descendants of a fallen magnate anymore, and the hospital staff offered their resignations, and Kong Lingwei gave up.
In 1994, Kong Lingwei rejected the chemotherapy plan proposed by the doctor, insisted on using his own concept of treatment, and finally died of worsening rectal cancer.
Hearing this, Song Meiling hurried back to Taiwan, locked herself in Kong Lingwei's residence before his death, and cried bitterly for ten days.
In 2003, Song Meiling died in New York, and she and Kong Lingwei and the families behind her, once had countless prosperity and splendor, have become the dust scattered in the galaxy of history.
One era has quietly come to an end, and another era has flourished.
