Sun Yat-sen's eldest son, Sun Ke, died of illness in Taipei in 1973, and the outstanding 3 of his 6 children lived one, the eldest grandson Sun Zhiping: always thinking about his grandfather's second and third granddaughter Sun Suifang: The fate of the bumpy road inherited his grandfather's legacy The third and fourth granddaughters Sun Suifen: writing a legendary life

2011 is the centenary of the Xinhai Revolution led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, but his granddaughter Ms. Sun Suifen unfortunately died in a car accident, which not only makes people lament for the great man, but also makes people care about the current whereabouts and living conditions of other descendants of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

Dr. Sun Yat-sen dedicated his life to the Chinese revolution, and on March 12, 1925, he died in Beijing after a long illness while negotiating peace with the Beiyang warlords, which is a regrettable event in China's modern history.

Sun's descendants are flourishing, and now most of them live a low-key life overseas, far from politics, but they are proud of Sun Yat-sen, and some are committed to spreading Sun Yat-sen's ideas.

Dr. Sun Yat-sen had three marriages in his lifetime, leaving his only son, Sun Ke, the eldest daughter, Sun Jiao, and the second daughter Sun Wan, all of whom were born to the original wife, Lu Muzhen.

The eldest daughter, Sun Jiao, died young and had no heirs; the younger daughter Sun Wan had 4 children successively; in contrast, the eldest son, Sun Ke, was the most leafy branch, giving birth to a total of two sons and four daughters:

The eldest son, Sun Zhiping, the second son Zhiqiang, and four daughters, Sun Suiying, Sun Suihua, Sun Suifang, and Sun Suifen, of which the eldest grandson Sun Zhiping, the third granddaughter Sun Suifang, and the fourth granddaughter Sun Suifen are the most prominent.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" >, the eldest grandson Sun Zhiping: always thinking about his grandfather</h1>

Sun Zhiping was the eldest grandson of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the eldest son of Sun Ke, and his mother was Chen Shuying, a former congress deputy. Sun Zhiping and younger brother Sun Zhiqiang were both born during his father Sun Ke and his mother Chen Shuying studied at the University of California.

Sun Zhiping was born on November 16, 1913, when he was born, Sun Yat-sen, the grandfather of the provisional president at the time, wanted to personally create the new republic of the Republic of China, "Guotai Min'an, the world is at peace", so he named his eldest grandson "Zhiping".

Of course, Sun Yat-sen also hoped that his grandson would be able to assume the heavy responsibility of "governing the country and the world" after he became an adult in the future, so he named it "Zhiping".

On January 27, 1915, after Sun Yat-sen's second grandson was born in the United States, Mr. Sun Yat-sen named his second grandson "Zhiqiang", apparently he felt that to govern the country, he must first seek peace, and then seek the country to be strong, and the country is strong, so that it can stand in the forest of the world's nations, the world is invincible, and it is not bullied.

Sun Zhiping's youth and grandfather Sun Yat-sen only spent a short period of time together, when the Northern Expedition was not yet successful. Grandfather devoted all his energies to the revolutionary cause and rarely had time to go home.

The brothers Sun Zhiping and Sun Zhiqiang could only visit their grandfather at noon on Saturday or Sunday, with their parents, and the family could only spend time with their grandfather at lunch. According to Sun Zhiping's own recollection:

"I remember that from the time I was 6 until I was 8, my grandparents would have lunch with us at the base camp every weekend, and we sat around a square table and my grandfather sat on the upper seat. Grandfather is very serious, discipline us very strictly, we have to sit on the edge of the meal, grandfather asks a question we answer, grandfather does not ask we dare not open our mouths, only to listen to the adults occasionally talk about some current affairs."

For him, Sun Zhiping was most impressed by what his grandfather often told him some truths about how difficult it is to know and how to do it easily. At that time, due to his young age, some of them could not understand, until he grew up, he did not know the true meaning of these four words.

What Mr. Sun Zhiping remembers vividly is the scene at the end of his grandfather's life. When his grandfather was seriously ill, Sun Zhiping went north to visit him under the leadership of his father.

According to Mr. Sun Zhiping's recollection, at that time, his grandfather was seriously ill and admitted to the Union Hospital, the doctor operated on him, opened the chest cavity to see, his liver has become black gray, it is the advanced stage of liver cancer, the doctor immediately sutured his chest cavity.

When Sun Zhiping walked into the ward and called out "father-in-law" (Guangdong calls grandfather and grandfather, all are "father-in-law"), the grandfather just responded with difficulty, but failed to speak to him.

At this time, Sun Zhiping wanted to say a few words to his grandfather, who he admired infinitely, but he could not say a word, so that he regretted it to this day.

Sun Zhiping's childhood obviously did not experience the hardships of his fathers. Since childhood, he has been influenced by Chinese and Western cultures and has rich knowledge.

After the death of his grandfather, Sun Zhiping and his younger brother Sun Zhiqiang entered an overseas tuition school in Beijing. The school was founded by Kuomintang elder Wu Zhihui.

After Sun Yat-sen's death, in order to train a group of preparatory personnel for studying abroad, the National Government sent Wu Zhihui to personally preside over the work of this school.

Therefore, the Sun Zhiping brothers naturally had the opportunity to enter this "school for the children of high cadres" to receive a good education. After graduating from the supplementary school, Sun Zhiping did not study abroad immediately, but first studied at St. John's University in Shanghai and soon went to the United States to study.

He first entered New York University with a bachelor's degree in economics, then entered the University of California Research Institute, and sun received a master's degree in economics from the University of California in 1945.

In 1949, after Chiang Kai-shek's defeat and escape to Taiwan, Sun Zhiping and his younger brother Sun Zhiqiang left the mainland with their father Sun Ke, and it was not until the mid-1960s that Sun Zhiping accompanied his father back to Taiwan.

During his time in Taiwan, he served as a "member of the Kuomintang Central Committee, a national policy adviser, a vice chairman of the Taiwan Television Corporation, and a chairman of the United Development Enterprise Corporation" and other positions.

Since Sun Zhiping left the mainland in 1949, he always thought of his grandfather Sun Yat-sen's mausoleum in Nanjing, and he wanted to return to Nanjing in his lifetime to worship his grandfather, with his own wish for half a century.

In March 2004, Mr. Sun Zhiping was finally allowed to return to the mainland at the age of 92. On March 12, this day is the national Arbor Day, in this festival set up to commemorate Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Mr. Sun Zhiping made the first special trip to Quanzhou City, Fujian Province, to participate in the commemoration activities, and then came to Fuzhou.

In 1912, Dr. Sun Yat-sen resigned from the post of provisional president for the sake of national righteousness, went south, and lived in Fuzhou for 3 days. After 92 years, Mr. Sun Zhiping came to the place where his grandfather lived and lived here for 3 days.

Mr. Sun Zhiping also said to the people around him: "Where my grandfather walked on the mainland, I will also go once in my lifetime. This trip to Fujian left a deep impression on the elderly Sun Zhiping. He said: "Fujian is much more developed than I thought, there are many high-rise buildings in Quanzhou, and the mainland has changed too much."

Mr. Sun Zhiping has been married twice, divorced from his ex-wife Xie Miaoling, and married Ms. Zhang Peixia, whose only son, Guoxiong, was born in 1943. Guoxiong married his wife Bai Di, and their family lived in the Greater Los Angeles area of the United States for a long time.

Guoxiong is a very influential figure in the local diaspora. Kuniyoshi had three daughters and a son. The three daughters are Sun Meiling, Sun Meilan and Sun Meilian, and the son Sun Weiren.

Mr. Sun Zhiping especially liked Sun Weiren, and the old man often traveled thousands of miles to Southern California to visit his grandson Weiren in his later years and enjoy the happiness of the world.

Sun Suifang, the third granddaughter of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and the daughter of Sun Ke, was born in Shanghai in 1936 and moved to Hawaii in 1967.

He is currently the Chairman of the Sun Yat-sen Foundation for Peace Education, the President of the Hawaii Chinese Women's Charity Association, the Trustee of the Pacific University in Hawaii, the Honorary President of the Hong Kong Alumni Association of Sun Yat-sen University, the Honorary Professor of Yanshan University, and the Honorary Doctor of Ceylon International University in Sri Lanka.

In order to promote the ideas of Sun Yat-sen, she has given more than 800 speeches around the world, founded the Sun Yat-sen Cardiovascular Hospital in Shenzhen, and wrote books such as "My Grandfather Sun Yat-sen" and "My Grandfather Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Collection".

Ms. Sun Suifang married Wang Shouji, the son of Hong Kong's former richest man, Shi Xin, in 1965 and had two sons, Wang Zurong and Wang Zuyao.

Although Sun Suifang is a descendant of Zhongshan, she has suffered a lot. In March 1936, Sun Suifang was born in Shanghai. Her mother was Yan Caijuan and was the lover of Sun Yat-sen's son, Sun Ke.

When Sun Ke and Lan Ni, a female celebrity in the Shanghai social field, were together, Yan Aijuan also broke up with Sun Ke. Therefore, when Sun Suifang was born, there was no father love at all, and she had not seen Sun Ke for a long time.

In Sun Suifang's memory, her mother always relied on herself to ask Sun Ke for money, while her stepfather was very grumpy and always abused herself, so she could not experience her parents' affection when she was young.

Sun Suifang

Once, because she made her half-brother cry, the stepfather grabbed her hair and hit her directly on the ground without asking the reason, leaving a lifelong ear disease, and whenever Sun Suifang was abused by her stepfather, the mother never said a word, such a scene is very depressing.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1946, the Nationalist government returned to Nanjing, and Sun Ke gave Sun Suifang's mother 12 gold bars after having a lot of money. However, Sun Suifang's stepfather took the fee that belonged to her to invest in stocks on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

In 1948, Suifang was taken to Hong Kong by her mother to ask Sun Ke for money. Although Sun Suifang hated her mother and stepfather for using her as a cash cow. But this was her only chance to meet her father, but she still failed to do so.

In fact, Sun Ke was eager to meet his daughter, who had never met before, but was afraid of causing family conflicts. Sun Ke once wanted to send his daughter Suifang to the United States to study, but Yan Aijuan strongly opposed it, and Suifang also refused because of her negative anger.

In 1951, Sun Suifang returned to Shanghai to live with her grandmother and entered Shanghai Qixiu Girls' High School to study in the second year of junior high school. In 1956, due to her top grades and being a "five-good student", Sun Suifang finally entered the coveted Department of Architecture of Tongji University after hard work.

After graduation, Sun Suifang went to Hong Kong, where she met Wang Shouji, the son of The Wealthy Hong Kong businessman Wang Shixin, in 1965, and after getting married, moved to Hawaii, usa. Sun Suifang's husband Wang Shouji was short-tempered and did not treat Sun Suifang well, and even had domestic violence.

The two eventually separated and divorced, but after the divorce, her relationship with her ex-husband Wang Shouji became better, and the two still kept in contact, they often called, ate and watched movies together. After Wang Shouji's death, Sun Suifang was really alone.

Seeing her biological father, Sun Ke, was Sun Suifang's greatest wish. In 1965, Sun Ke left Hong Kong to settle in Taiwan, and in November 1966, at the behest of Sun Ke, Sun Ke's parents, Sun Zhiping's sister-in-law and Zhang Peixia, received Sun Suifang, led Sun Suifang to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, and met Sun Ke for the first time in Taiwan.

Due to the ups and downs of her growth experience, Sun Suifang attaches great importance to family affection, although she has been abandoned for a long time, she is very filial to her father, and she is also very good to her half-siblings, and even takes the initiative to repay debts for her second brother Sun Zhiqiang.

At this time, Sun Ke was already a 75-year-old man, and Sun Suifang was also more than thirty years old, and the father and daughter finally met and smiled and hated each other. Sun Suifang visits relatives in Taiwan twice a year until Sun Ke dies of illness, and each time the father and daughter have endless words.

Sun Ke was very concerned about the life of this daughter who had been wandering for many years, and gave her two commemorative gold coins for the centenary of Sun Yat-sen's birth and a copy of "The Biography of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the Father of the Nation", which read "Don't Forget Your Grandfather".

In September 1980, Sun Suifang returned to the mainland to visit her relatives. In June 1981, Soong Ching Ling died, and she attended the funeral of her grandmother Song Qingling at the Shanghai Wanguo Cemetery.

Her father, Sun Ke, died in 1973, and the death of her second grandmother, Song Qingling, evoked her nostalgia for her grandfather and began to trace the origin of the family.

Back at home, she repeatedly turned over the recording of her grandfather's speech every day, saying that she had dreamed of her grandfather twice in those days.

Sun Suifang, a Buddhist believer, felt that there was a definite number in her mind, and from that time on, she gave up the Business in the United States and began to study her grandfather and his thoughts, when she was 45 years old.

In 1996, Sun Suifang's "My Grandfather Sun Yat-sen" was published; in 2001 and 2003, her "My Grandfather Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Collection" was published twice in Nanjing. So far, Sun Suifang has returned to the mainland more than a hundred times.

Sun Suifang said that she had never met her grandfather Sun Yat-sen, but she and his grandfather were spiritually connected, and his spirit had always inspired her. She was deeply impressed by the admiration she had for him, and her family said she looked like her grandfather, which made her proud.

From the age of 9, Sun Suifang paid attention to collecting her grandfather's photographs and ink treasures, and later she began to think about and study the revolutionary ideas of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

This research is more than 40 years without interruption, and has compiled and written a number of articles recalling Sun Yat-sen and commemorative albums, including a lot of precious pictures reflecting the revolutionary process of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and Sun Suifang has the deepest understanding of the spirit of Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

Sun Suifang said that when he was in Nanjing, he dreamed of his grandfather Sun Yat-sen, and he told Sun Suifang in the dream to carry forward his spirit. This has become a mission in her life.

Sun Suifang now holds a number of honorary positions at home and abroad, and it is reasonable to say that she can completely recuperate at a young age, but this force in the underworld supports her to travel all over the world to continue to carry forward the spirit of her grandfather.

For more than 20 years, Sun Suifang has given more than 800 lectures in China, North America, Northern Europe and Southeast Asia, and almost walked through the places where her grandfather walked.

"When China has peace, there will be peace in the world," she confidently quoted Mr. Zhongshan. Sun Suifang believes that the Chinese Communist Party has truly inherited Sun Yat-sen's will, and she pointed out that China's defense of world peace and protection of weak and small nations is consistent with her grandfather's idea of helping the weak and helping the poor.

Sun Yat-sen's selfless dedication and strong patriotic spirit for the country and the people throughout his life have been passed on to Sun Suifang from generation to generation, and she has set up hospitals, primary schools, research institutes, etc. named after Sun Yat-sen all over the world, and even sold houses to donate bronze statues of Sun Yat-sen.

She also continues to invest in the mainland and dedicate herself to China's development. Sun Suifang, who is more than a year old, often tells people that although she is Sun Ke's illegitimate daughter, she has long been excluded from the Sun family and has suffered a lot.

But she has a spiritual connection with Sun Yat-sen, and she hopes to become a true practitioner and inheritor of her grandfather's ideas, using Sun Yat-sen's ideas to benefit mankind.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > third and fourth granddaughter Sun Suifen: Writing a legendary life</h1>

Sun Suifen was the youngest granddaughter of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, born to Sun Ke and his second wife, Lan Ni. Her mother, Lenny, was a famous courtesan on the beach in the 1930s and 1940s, and because of her beauty and intelligence, many dignitaries and wealthy merchants fell under her pomegranate skirt.

Born in Shanghai on August 6, 1938, Sun Suifen has been the jewel in the palm of every elder in this rich and loving family since she came to earth, and has been deeply cared for by her grandfather, grandmother and the whole family.

In the 1930s and 1940s, senior members of the state government often took a train on weekends to leave boring Nanjing to shanghai's ShiliYangchang to "relax and find excitement", and the playful legislator Sun Ke was no exception.

In 1935, Sun Ke was introduced to Lan Ni (Lan Yezhen, Lan Xunyi), a Miao woman in Yunnan. Lan Ni, who was only twenty-three years old at the time, was a somewhat famous socialite in Shanghai.

Born in 1912, Lan Ni is said to be the "Princess miao wang", who was forced to marry Li Dingguo, the son of Li Tisheng, a famous man in Shanghai, in order to supplement the family, because of the family's fall, and the Li family sent one hundred yuan to the Lan family every month.

After five years of marriage and three children, Li and Lan divorced in 1934. After Lenny broke up with her husband, she often went out of the social world and became famous.

In 1935, her classmate Lu Ying introduced her to Sun Ke, and as soon as the two met, they sparked, and Sun invited him to be a confidential secretary and live in Shanghai.

Sun and Lan were furiously in love, and the two were passionate; in 1936, Sun Ke decided to marry Lan Ni as the second lady, but still maintained a conjugal relationship with the original partner Chen Shuying.

In order to express his love for Lan Ni and loyalty to love, Sun Ke not only set up four tables to feast on the legislature colleagues, but also asked the photographer to take photos and archives, and set up a note, which read: "Only the two wives of the Yuan with Chen and the second lady, Lan, there is no third party." ”

This note was given to Lenny for safekeeping. It is said that Sun Ke laughed at himself at the banquet: "I know that the law is against the law, and the punishment is added to the first class." After Sun Ke had the "Lady of Shanghai", he immediately dumped the original social flower "Shanghai Mistress" Yan Caijuan (that is, Sun Suifang's mother).

Since then, Sun Ke only has Lan Ni in his heart, and Lan Ni has also flaunted in Shanghai under the banner of Sun Ke, inserted himself into the mall, and borrowed the strength to drill the camp.

Lenny gave birth to Sun Suifen on August 2, 1938. As a child, SuiFen attended Shanghai Sacred Heart Kindergarten and Sacred Heart School. Lenny's swagger once brought a curse to her daughter.

One evening in the summer of the second year after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War (that is, in 1946), Sun Suifen and her uncle Lan Yeshen were having dinner at their grandmother's house, when they suddenly received a phone call saying that Lan Ni was eating with friends at the Lao Zhengxing Restaurant in Shanghai, and they wanted to see Sui Fen, so they immediately sent someone to drive to pick them up.

Soon someone picked sui fen away, but instead of receiving the old Zhengxing restaurant, it was a kidnapping ticket. Two downtrodden bankers, Wu Yongji (manager of Jiuda Bank) and Song Yushu (who had opened a bank and had collapsed), took the risk of kidnapping eight-year-old Sun Suifen because they owed huge gambling debts.

It is said that the kidnappers extorted $300,000 and paid a ransom of $100,000 after Lenny negotiated with the kidnappers. At that time, gossip said that after Sun Suifen was kidnapped, Lan Ni had informed Sun Ke, and Sun Ke asked him to call the police, but Lan Ni was reluctant to speak up and mortgaged the house to collect the ransom. However, whether the ransom is $100,000 remains to be determined.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Lan Ni and her daughter Sun Suifen lived in Shanghai most of the time, and Lan Ni, who was capable and good at business, did business as usual in Shanghai during the wang jingwei puppet government era, set up factories, and imported German paints and pigments.

In addition, he is engaged in real estate and housing construction, and the financial resources are rolling in. Lan Ni's long-sleeved good dance and "making a fortune in the country" brought great trouble to Sun Ke in the official arena many years later, and planted the seeds of Sun Lan's breakup.

In 1948, the Kuomintang opened up its members to run for vice president. Sun Ke had no intention of going out, but Chiang Kai-shek actively instigated Sun Ke (known in the political circles as "Sun Adou") to confront the Gui general Li Zongren and sent Song Meiling to visit Sun Ke to vigorously persuade him to advance.

During the campaign, Gong Debai, the media "Cannon" and director of Nanjing's "National Salvation Daily", published an explosive news on the front page of "National Salvation Daily" on April 23, 1948:

It was revealed that Sun Ke had sent a letter to Hong Lanyou, secretary general of the National Assembly, asking him for help in returning a batch of German paints confiscated by the government after the war, and printing a photo of Sun Ke's original letter in the newspaper.

In the letter, Sun Ke claimed that the paint confiscated by "Our Family Lanni" was not enemy property, but was privately owned by him, and requested the Central Trust Bureau to return it. The four words "Our Family Lanni" have since become famous sentences in the history of the modern government officialdom and the media.

At that time, a group of guangdong celebrities who supported Sun Ke, including Zhang Fakui, Xue Yue, Yu Hanmou, and Xiang Hanping, led the crowd to the "Salvation Daily" to demonstrate and protest and smash the newspaper.

Gong Cannon took out a pistol and stood at the top of the stairs to confront Zhang Fakui and others downstairs. As a result of four votes, Li Zongren defeated Sun Ke's 1,295 votes by 1,438 votes, and was elected vice president.

After the outbreak of the "Lenny Incident", Sun Ke denied writing the letter for his own face and political future, and on the other hand, he broke off relations with Lenny.

Not only did he not openly defend Lenny, but he even made some small moves to scandalize Lenny. Lan Ni, who had played in the Ten Mile Ocean Field, was furious and parted ways with Sun Ke from then on.

At the end of 1948, Lan Ni took Sun Suifen and her brother Lan Yeshen to Hong Kong to open the "Da Long Gold" and run a gold and silver jewelry business.

Educated in Hong Kong, Sun Suifen went to Taiwan after graduating from high school in 1955, was admitted to the "Civil Air Transport Company" (CAT) air hostess at the age of seventeen, worked for two years, and fell in love with the American pilot of the civil aviation company Seigrist (Chinese name Sun Kangwei), who had piloted fighters in the Chinese theater to fight Japanese devils during World War II.

Sun Suifen and Sun Kangwei married in Taipei in January 1957, they married for eighteen years, and gave birth to three sons, Sun Zhongren, Sun Zhongjie, and Sun Zhongwei (Alan), and the couple had lived in Taipei, the United States, Japan, Thailand, Europe and the Middle East, but ended in divorce.

Sun Ke died of illness in Taipei in 1973, and Lani had asked Sui Fen to go to Taiwan for funerals, but she herself did not go to Taiwan. Sun Suifen, who is quite maverick, admits that she and her father Sun Ke are "very distant", rarely see each other, and do not have much affection.

Her father had "no influence" on her, and she did not want to flaunt everywhere with the sign of "granddaughter of Sun Yat-sen, the father of the country", and her ideas and practices were completely different from Sun Suifang's.

In 1982, the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee invited Lan Ni's mother and daughter to visit the mainland, which was the first time they returned to Shanghai after the founding of New China. In 1986, Deng Yingchao invited Lan Ni and Sun Suifen to return to China to participate in the 120th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen's birth.

Lanni said she and Deng Yingchao met during the War of Resistance. Soon, our party returned the Rose Villa on West Fuxing Road in Shanghai to Lan Ni, and on March 18, 1990, Lan Ni moved back to the Rose Villa (Sun Suifen also lived here). On September 28, 1996, Lanni died of illness in Shanghai at the age of eighty-five.

Sun Suifen was able to bend and stretch, lived a poor life, slept on the floor; in 1976 Chinese New Year's Eve when she was nine years old, she decided to go to the University of Arizona to study business administration and be a classmate with her son, which was her first college.

Later, he went to Babson College in Massachusetts for further study. In 1986, he entered the U.S. Federal Government Department of Commerce as a commercial consul at the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou, in September 1989 he was transferred to the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai as Commercial Consul general, and in July 1992 to the U.S. Embassy in France as Commercial Counsellor.

In 1994, Sun Suifen resigned from public office and founded Hong Kong's Nora Sun Associates, which assists European and American companies to invest in China.

Sun Suifen has lived in Hong Kong and Shanghai for many years, and she co-chaired the consulting firm with her youngest Son Zhongwei. Five years ago, Sun Zhongwei opened a business center on the 37th floor of a tall building in Taipei, and one of Sun Zhongwei's favorite books at the time was the story of Chairman Mao co-authored by Zhang Rong, a Writer in Britain, and His British husband, Harry Dai.

Chinese and foreign experts who study Sun Yat-sen believe that the personalities and appearances of Sun Suifang and Sun Suifen's half-sisters are most similar to those of Sun Yat-sen and Sun Ke. And Sun Suifen's dazzling activity in the shopping mall and social circles has won the true legend of her mother.

Sun Suifen is an optimistic, strong and cheerful woman, she is not proud to be the descendant of the father of the modern Chinese revolution, nor is she proud to have the blood of the Sun family. After she grew up, she relied on her own perseverance and ability to fight the world, step by step, all the way to the extremely down-to-earth, can be said to be a heroine among women.

It can be seen that most of Sun Yat-sen's descendants lived a civilian life, far from politics. For many years, no descendant has taken advantage of the status of Mr. Nakayama's descendants to pursue benefits. Lin Lunke, sun Yat-sen's granddaughter-in-law and wife of Sun Zhiqiang, once introduced:

"Although we are the descendants of great people, we did not expect to be special, usually very low-key, and our neighbors abroad all know that we are the descendants of Sun Yat-sen." Everyone lives an ordinary life, a life that should go to work, a life that should be lived. ”

In fact, for Sun Yat-sen, his descendants have one thing in common, that is, they are all proud of Sun Yat-sen. Sun Suifen said: "In my life, I feel the most fortunate that there is still such a grandfather.

But he is not alone, but belongs to the people of the whole Chinese. I hope that the spirit of the grandfather can inspire today's young people not to give up on any goal. "Dr. Sun Yat-sen will certainly be pleased by this."
