Chiang Kai-shek was a famous politician, military figure, and so on in modern history, and he can also be regarded as a generation of tyrants. However, such a tyrant also has the troubles of love, hate, hatred, and lust, and Chiang Kai-shek was also a dashing "brother in law" in his youth. Naturally, there will be no shortage of women around him, and there are four wives that Ming Media is marrying in his lifetime.
Speaking of who Chiang Kai-shek's wife is, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind must be Song Meiling, but in fact, before Song Meiling, Chiang Kai-shek had three wives, but Song Meiling did not like "three wives and four concubines", she believed that feelings were a matter between two people, and love did not need "impurities".
Chiang Kai-shek's current success is absolutely inseparable from the help of Soong Mei-ling, so in order to please Soong Mei-ling, Chiang Kai-shek has only had one wife after that. However, many things stem from "can't help but be", these four words, blindly suppressing will be counterproductive. Song Meiling encountered the scene that every woman wants to see the most, but why did she turn a blind eye?
I. Chiang Kai-shek had an "affair"?
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Song Meiling found out that Chiang Kai-shek had an "affair" in Chongqing, which made her very angry, but Song Meiling was not an ordinary person, and she did not lose her temper, but handled the matter very calmly. The first thing is to know who this woman really is, and soon Song Meiling found out that her name is Chen Jieru.
Soon Song Meiling's anger was suppressed by her, if the other party was not Chen Jieru, she could still have confidence, but the other party was Chen Jieru. Because she knew that she was the "third party" between Chen Jieru and Chiang Kai-shek, what qualifications did she have to question Chiang Kai-shek about this?
Therefore, song Meiling could only be silent after knowing it, pretending not to know anything, as if everything had happened. And she did not cry and hang herself like an ordinary woman, let alone play like a shrew. Neither pursuing nor asking, then who is Chen Jieru this woman? Can make the first lady Song Meiling swallow her breath, let's take a look!
Second, the fate between uncle and Lori
Chen Jieru was born in Shanghai, the family life is also considered to be rich, the father is a paper merchant, operating handicrafts in many places. Growing up in this kind of family, she did not develop a cruel and willful personality, but was very gentle, and she was also very dedicated to feelings.
Therefore, after separating from Chiang Kai-shek, I will not marry for life, but these are all afterwords, and then we will talk about how Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jieru met, when the two first met, Chiang Kai-shek was more than 30 years old, in middle age, and Chen Jieru was only 13 years old at this time, where did the fate between the uncle and Lori come from?
In the summer of 1919, Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Jitao went to Shanghai together to visit Zhang Jingjiang, which was a party between old friends; and Zhang Jingjiang had an aunt named Zhu Yimin, and Chen Jieru, who was only 13 years old, was her good girlfriend, just in time for the school holiday, so Chen Jieru came to visit this friend.
Third, Chiang Kai-shek's love at first sight
In this way, the two people who could not be hit by the eight rods originally formed a lifelong fate because of this unexpected encounter. On this day, Zhang Jingjiang's home has two tables of dinner, namely the Brothers Bureau and the Sister Bureau, somehow Chiang Kai-shek saw Chen Jieru the moment he could not walk, as if the opposite sex attracted each other, Chiang Kai-shek fell in love with Chen Jieru, who was only 13 years old, at first sight.
Sometimes feelings are so wonderful, even if there is a gap between ages, it still can't stop my feelings for you. After this party, Chiang Kai-shek waited for Chen Jieru outside the door early, and the moment he saw Chen Jieru come out, his eyes were full of light and her figure.
When Chen Jie came down, Chiang Kai-shek immediately stepped forward to ask for the address of her home, on the pretext that he would see her later when he had the opportunity. Don't look at Chen Jieru at that time, she was not very old, but the education she received since childhood told her that she must be especially careful with men, and her virginity must be reserved for her future husbands.
Fourth, Chiang Kai-shek chased after Chen Jieru
Therefore, in the face of Chiang Kai-shek's sudden overtures, she gave Chiang Kai-shek a wrong home address, and then quickly fled, without giving Chiang Kai-shek a chance to speak again. However, what Chen Jieru did not know was how charming he was in the eyes of Chiang Kai-shek, and this was the truth of the lover's eyes.
However, at that time, Chen Jieru's trick was still too tender for Chiang Kai-shek, who Chiang Kai-shek was, and it was easy to find an address by virtue of his connections in Shanghai. Therefore, when Chiang Kai-shek looked up to and identified Chen Jieru, she had no way back.
Chiang Kai-shek, who soon got the address of Chen Jieru's home, immediately set off, came to visit with many gifts, and told Chen Jieru's parents about the purpose of his trip. However, Chen Jieru's parents were very good to her, and naturally everything was considered for their daughter, so the two directly refused Chiang Kai-shek's request.
Fifth, all unexpected encounters are carefully planned by me
After all, where is the age of the two, not to mention that Chen Jieru does not know what love is now, if she agrees, she will not push her daughter into the "fire pit". When Chiang Kai-shek learned of Chen Jieru's parents' thoughts, he was not angry at their refusal, but was polite and left.
But whoever Chiang Kai-shek is, he will certainly use all means to get what he wants. Since Chen Jieru's parents could not achieve their wishes, they started from Chen Jieru, and in this way, Chiang Kai-shek launched a series of love attacks on Chen Jieru, and the means were still relatively tough. For example, any kind of chance encounter and other wife-chasing routines have been played by Chiang Kai-shek.
No one thought that Chiang Kai-shek still had such a side, and he could not bear Chiang Kai-shek's onslaught on Chen Jieru, which had seriously affected her normal life. Once, when Chen Jieru went to look for Zhu Yimin, he obviously went secretly and specially avoided Chiang Kai-shek, but fate was so clever.
Sixth, Chen Jieru gave his heart to Chiang Kai-shek
Chen Jieru was caught by Chiang Kai-shek again, and this time Chiang Kai-shek did not adopt the gentle strategy before, perhaps he felt that those methods were not painful or itchy for Chen Jieru. So this time Chiang Kai-shek's attitude was very clear and tough, and he directly took Chen Jieru to a hotel, at this time, the 13-year-old Chen Jieru was very scared, after all, she was still a little girl.
Nothing happened between the two in this small hotel, but it was this time that Chen Jieru began to face up to chiang kai-shek and his relationship. Chiang Kai-shek drew out the saber he had been wearing, and made a vow to Chen Jieru at that time, and forcefully made Chen Jieru believe, and threatened that if he did not believe it, then he would cut off one of his fingers and write a love letter.
Speaking of this, Chiang Kai-shek seemed to feel that it was not enough, and he said that he would break off relations with the two ladies of the family, and she was the only one in his heart, and then Chiang Kai-shek picked up the saber and said: "I will definitely use my blood to write an oath of eternal love for you!" This frightened Chen Jieru and kept saying I believe you and so on, and then she fled into the wilderness.
7. Talk about marriage and talk about marriage
Since then, Chiang Kai-shek has often called her, which makes her uneasy almost every day, and finally because of the long-term face of Chiang Kai-shek's sugar-coated shells, she gradually handed over her heart, and this friendship is a lifetime! By the time Chen Jieru was 14 years old, it was time to talk about marriage.
Although the family was not very satisfied with the marriage, as long as their daughter was happy, they did not say much. Chen Jieru's parents believe that their marriage should follow the normal ceremony, so the two first held an engagement ceremony, and then the two exchanged letters, and under the witness of many leaders, wrote the birthday eight characters and vows on the red post.
Moreover, in order to prove his feelings for Chen Jieru, Chiang Kai-shek swore to heaven many times, saying something that he would be together all his life and would never regret it. The speaker did not have the intention of listening, it was these sweet vows that trapped Chen Jieru's whole life, and now she naturally did not know, after all, the person in front of her now only had her in her heart, and she was the same.
8. Chiang Kai-shek helped Chen Jieru take a new name
The next day, Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jieru were dating a chocolate shop on Nanjing Road, where Chiang Kai-shek suddenly said, "Chen Feng is your breast name and should only be used by your mother." According to Chinese etiquette, breast names are not appropriate for friends. Therefore, I have chosen a new name for you, which is 'pure as', which means 'as pure' or 'as unpolluted by the world'. In my opinion, you are really pure and flawless, do you like it? ”
Then he took out his own photo, and the left side of the photo was written with the three words "Chen Jieru", which meant to put Chen Jieru in his heart, and said that he would save this photo forever. I have to say that old Jiang is affectionate and few women can resist it. Sure enough, Chen Jieru gladly accepted the name, and her heart was also touched.
The relationship between Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jieru quickly warmed up because of this time, and soon it was December 5, 1921, in the living room of the Dadong Hotel in Shanghai Yong'an Building, Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jieru held a "grand wedding". The wedding is half Chinese and half Western, and many people are amazed by this wedding, after all, such a large gesture is difficult to see.
9. The first wife is very happy
This also confirmed that Chiang Kai-shek was really in love with Chen Jieru at that time, and at the wedding, Chiang Kai-shek gave his bride Chen Jieru a postcard-sized Kodak camera, and Chen Jieru gave Chiang Kai-shek a Waltham gold pocket watch with a gold chain. The wedding was held so solemnly that basically people with heads and faces came to attend.
Later, according to Chen Jieru's recollection, "The wedding ceremony was mainly divided into two parts: the first part was to use the seal on the marriage certificate, and the second part was to symbolically worship the ancestors of heaven and earth before the confession at the other end of the opposite side. After midnight, the wedding ended successfully, and from this moment on she was no longer Chen Jieru, but Chiang Kai-shek's wife Chen Jieru.
After sending her relatives and friends away, Chen Jieru slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, and in addition to the joy and excitement of being a wife, she also had a little more fear in her heart, so she did not dare to speak in the new room. How could her little daughter's shyness Chiang Kai-shek not see it? After Chiang Kai-shek closed the door and locked it, he came over and hugged Chen Jieru.
10. This life will never fail you
In Chen Jieru's ear, she whispered, "You are already my dear wife, the only lover in the world!" I'll never fall in love with a woman other than you. This is my solemn commitment. Then he took his shy wife Chen Jieru to rest, and after three days, according to the custom at that time, Chiang Kai-shek needed to send his newlywed wife back to her mother's house.
Chiang Kai-shek went to greet his father-in-law and mother-in-law with a batch of gifts, and then at about 3:30 p.m., Chiang Kai-shek took Chen Jieru to Fenghua Xikou, his hometown in Zhejiang. After Chen Jie got out of the car, the first thing he saw was a woman sitting at the door, and just when he wondered who she was, Chiang Kai-shek told Chen Jieru that she was his original match, Mao Fumei.
After Chen Jieru saw Mao Fumei, she dressed up and went to the worship ceremony. The married life of Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jieru is also very sweet, and from time to time there will be small pink bubbles. However, there was no honeymoon period in that era, and in 1922 Chiang Kai-shek received an urgent telegram from Sun Yat-sen, asking him to return to Guangzhou as soon as possible.
11. The newlywed Yan'er has no honeymoon
This made Chen Jieru, who had just been newly married, how to accept it, but Chen Jieru was a woman who knew how to write and dali, and although she was very reluctant to let her husband leave, she understood Chiang Kai-shek's situation. There was no way but to tearfully send away her new husband, Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek was also very distressed to see his wife shed tears, but he couldn't help himself.
Before Chiang Kai-shek rushed back to Guangzhou, he sent Chen Jieru to Shanghai, where Chen Jieru met the young Chiang Ching-kuo, somehow Chen Jieru liked Chiang Ching-kuo very much, and treated him very well, and Chiang Ching-kuo was also very fond of this "Shanghai mother", and from time to time he would go to Chen Jieru's residence to find her.
After this, Chiang Kai-shek would often take Chen Jieru to various events, and she accompanied Chiang Kai-shek as a secretary. Moreover, every year when Chiang Kai-shek returned to his hometown from Guangzhou, he would take Chen Jieru with him, and Mao Fumei, Chiang Kai-shek's original match, also treated Chen Jieru with courtesy, and the family was harmonious and harmonious, and what backyard fire did not exist at all.
XII. It is logical to become the principal's wife
Moreover, the children of the Jiang family are very fond of this "mother-in-law", and Chen Jieru is also very fond of these children, often sending some gifts and clothes. On February 18, 1923, Sun Yat-sen remotely commanded the revolutionary struggle in Hong Kong, and Sun Yat-sen appointed Chiang Kai-shek as the chief of staff of the Grand Marshal's Office.
On August 14 of the same year, Chiang Kai-shek needed to visit the Soviet Union, and he hoped that Chen Jieru could accompany him. However, Chen Jieru refused, and this small episode did not affect the feelings between the two mouths. It was not until Chiang Kai-shek became the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy that Chen Jieru had a stable family.
And Chen Jieru naturally became chiang kai-shek's principal's wife, why is this? Didn't chen jieru have two wives before him, and how can it be said that chen jieru can't take his turn? The original Mao Fumei was already old and faded, and the identity of the second room was not very glorious, so the position of "Principal's Wife" could only be sat by Chen Jieru.
13. Meet Song Meiling for the first time
Later, in Chen Jieru's memoirs, she believed that she was the happiest woman at this time, but happiness was not blessed with preservatives, and when the time came, this so-called happiness would become a burden for herself, and "happiness" would eventually only be a big dream. Soon after, Chiang Kai-shek met Soong Mei-ling at Sun Yat-sen's home.
Old Jiang's routine believes that everyone understands, and in an instant Old Jiang took out the set of words for Chen Jieru, which is generally summed up as love at first sight. However, Chiang Kai-shek's love at first sight was only related to the ambition in his heart, not to mention that Soong Meiling at that time was dismissive of Chiang Kai-shek.
Moreover, Dr. Sun Yat-sen and Ms. Song Yi (ǎi) Both hope that Song Meiling can marry Tan Yanmin (kǎi), although Tan Yanmin is a little older, but his character is definitely good. Unfortunately, Tan Yanmin could not forget his deceased wife, so he recognized Song Meiling as his sister and politely refused to get rid of the marriage.
Fourteen, the big dream is empty
The biggest reason why Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling can be combined is because of Tan Yanmin's matchmaking, who said that Chiang Kai-shek will become a good candidate after chiang kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek's side is politically motivated and also needs this opportunity, and Chiang Kai-shek knows that the biggest obstacle between him and Soong Mei-ling now is his wife Chen Jieru.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek told Chen Jieru about his marriage, and Chen Jieru almost fainted after knowing it, and for a while he could not even say the words to scold Chiang Kai-shek. Later, in order to stabilize Chen Jieru, Chiang Kai-shek used rhetoric to trick Chen Jieru into going abroad for 5 years. Chen Jieru was very dissatisfied with his proposal, after all, he was the right lord now, wasn't he?
Who knew that Chiang Kai-shek was cruel to himself, he threatened to die, and there was no way for Chen Jieru to compromise. Chiang Kai-shek also used the limit of 5 years to tell Chen Jieru that he could come back after 5 years, and after 5 years, he and Chen Jieru would resume their husband and wife relationship. In this way, chiang kai-shek, in order to marry Soong Mei-ling's politics, broke off with Chen Jieru, the "white moonlight.".
Fifteen, the heart is like dead ashes
Not long after Chen Jieru left, Chiang Kai-shek's side could not wait to announce that he had severed relations with his ex-wives, especially against Chen Jieru, Chiang Kai-shek said that there was no fact between the two of them, and there was no legal basis. Chiang Kai-shek's play was like a depth charge bomb, and everyone exploded in an instant.
The "soul of gossip" in the body has been burned up, the original model couple is now severing their relationship, not to mention, there is no husband and wife after many years of getting along, when did this old Jiang become "Liu Xia Hui"? Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek immediately issued a statement in the newspaper: "Comrades have many letters and questioners about the family affairs of Zhongzheng, because they have not yet been enlightened, they hereby advise the following --- the Republic of China, the original Mao and Zhongzheng formally divorced." The other two clans, who originally had no marriage contract, are now disassociated from Zhongzheng. At present, he has two children and grandchildren in addition to the family, and has no wife and daughter. However, the rumors are untrue and easy to be confused, and they are hereby restored. ”
Chen Jieru, who was far away in the United States, did not know this news, but after reading the statement issued by Chiang Kai-shek, the Americans immediately abandoned Chen Jieru because she was no longer Chiang Kai-shek's wife. When Chen Jieru finally knew the origin of the matter, her heart was like ashes, and she once wanted to take her own life three times, but she was stopped by friends around her.
Sixteen, the name of the United States: sealing fee
Even to this point, Chen Jieru still loves Chiang Kai-shek in her heart, and in the face of reporters' questioning, in order to protect Chiang Kai-shek's reputation, she not only refused all interviews, but even reduced her going out. When Chen Jieru felt that she and Chiang Kai-shek still had a glimmer of hope, a message brought by Du Yuesheng made her completely heartbroken.
Chiang Kai-shek was afraid that Chen Jieru would talk nonsense, so like the male protagonist of the novel, he found Du Yuesheng and gave Chen Jieru a sum of money, which was called the sealing fee. Chen Jieru no longer had any hope for Chiang Kai-shek, concentrated on studying in the United States, and successfully obtained a master's degree.
Chiang Kai-shek's side has done everything in his power to marry Song Meiling home, and at the same time, his status has slowly changed, but the feelings between him and Soong Meiling are limited after all, and the two are not as decent as a loving couple. In 1933, Chen Jieru returned to Shanghai and refused to meet many reporters at that time, in order to protect Chiang Kai-shek's honor.
17. The resurgence of old feelings
Until 1937, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Shanghai was invaded by the Japanese army and Nanjing was not spared, so that the main organs of the Nationalist government were transferred to Chongqing. At this time, Chen Jieru met Wang Jingwei's wife Chen Bijun, their identities were somewhat sensitive, and Chen Jieru had always wanted to sneak away.
The agents of the military command and the central command were very anxious when they learned of Chen Jieru's situation, so they tried their best to save Chen Jieru. Chiang Kai-shek's feelings for Chen Jieru were still very deep, so he took his ex-wife Chen Jieru to Chongqing. Of course, this time, Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jie rekindled their old feelings.
Naturally, their affairs could not escape the eyes of reporters, and in an instant, everyone in the room was full of grudges and hatreds between Chiang Kai-shek, Chen Jieru, and Soong Meiling. However, the truth of the matter is that after Song Meiling found out that the other party was Chen Jieru, she directly ignored this matter, even if Chiang Kai-shek often visited Chen Jieru's home at night, Song Meiling did not ask too much.
18. My grievances are known only to the King
It can be seen from this that Chiang Kai-shek was not ruthless to Chen Jieru, but the marriage between them had to be interrupted for political reasons. During this period, although the two had a tendency to rekindle their old feelings, Song Meiling was not really indifferent, because her intervention was too strong, and in the end, Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jieru still died without a problem.
In 1961, Zhou Enlai approved Chen Jieru to settle in Hong Kong, changing his name to Chen Lu for convenience. After Chiang Ching-kuo, who was already in Taiwan, learned of this news, he quickly bought a luxury apartment in Hong Kong for Chen Jieru to live in. After all, this "Shanghai mother" is as kind as a mountain to herself, and this kindness must be repaid.
In 1967, Chen Jieru went to the famous historian Mr. Tang Degang because she wanted to publish her memoirs in the United States. Chiang Kai-shek was frightened when he found out, so he hurriedly used the usual method to appease, and paid a sealing fee of 50,000 yuan. At this time, Chen Jieru was no longer the one she was then, and sweet words had no effect on her.
On February 21, 1971, Chen Jieru died at the age of 65, before which she sent a desperate letter to Chiang Kai-shek: "For more than 30 years, my grievances have only been known to the king, but in order to maintain the honor of the jun and other countries, I have endured the greatest self-sacrifice..."
