She was the most legendary nun of the late Qing Dynasty.
From the daughter of a rich and noble family, to the downfall of the family, the early death of her children, and the early death of her husband!
Later, she became a nun, and after a few years, she finally had her own obsession, married an "old man", and in this world, gave birth to a troubled man.
Unexpectedly, this move almost turned history upside down!
Who is the Troubled Hero? How did he do it?
Becoming a monk
Wang Caiyu, born in a wealthy family, is an out-and-out lady.
Her father was a local figure with a head and a face, who could do business and had a lot of money.
Wang Caiyu studied poetry with his father since he was a child, and he was also quite accomplished in calligraphy and painting.
Wang Caiyu is a talented woman with both talents and appearances,
People in the village say that she is a lady.
However, at the age of 19, Wang Caiyu's life changed dramatically.
His father Wang Youze died in 1882, and the Wang family declined rapidly due to lack of financial resources.
Although she has two brothers, the eldest brother is addicted to gambling, and the younger brother has been ill for a long time and cannot support the family business.
Mother Wang had no choice, so she had to marry Wang Caiyu to a famous son, hoping to make her family prosper.
Wang Caiyu was forced to marry Zhu, who had an eccentric temper.
Her marriage was a disaster.
Zhu scolded her at every turn and said something trivial.
Wang Caiyu suffered great pain, and thought that after giving birth to Lin'er, his life would be better.
Unexpectedly, not long after she was born, she died a long time ago, and her husband Zhu put the responsibility on her.
Wang Caiyu was heartbroken and mentally exhausted, and at this time, her husband also contracted the epidemic disease at that time and died of it.
This series of misfortunes exhausted her, and she lay in her hospital bed all day, already desperate for the world.
When some neighbors saw her miserable life, they said that she was obscure and caused a lot of gossip.
In order not to let others gossip, Wang Caiyu had to go back to his mother's house.
In desperation, she even went to the temple to seek spiritual comfort.
However, his mother, seeing her young age, strongly opposed her becoming a monk and insisted that she take her to practice.
Under the persuasion of relatives and neighbors, Wang Caiyu rekindled the flame of hope in his heart.
Slowly, she came out of the pain of losing her son and became a volunteer.
She went to nearby villages to provide free education to children from poor families.
Wang Caiyu's life has suffered so much, but she was not knocked down by fate, but rose again.
Her life is full of resilience and perseverance, which is both tearful and admirable.
With a positive attitude, she passes on her care and warmth to others.
Also remarried
Wang Caiyu was originally the daughter of a large local family, and she has been pampered since she was a child.
However, the good times did not last long, Wang Caiyu's father and husband died of illness one after another, and his son died early, and the triple blow made Wang Caiyu heartbroken.
She was already desperate.
Wang Caiyu was a monk, lived in Jinzhuan, and lived a simple monk life.
Jinzhuan is located in the suburbs, the surrounding environment is very poor, all Wang Caiyu has to do is to do the coolies of cleaning and washing clothes alone.
When he first arrived at Jinzhuan, Wang Caiyu had a hard time adapting to the harsh environment there, and often missed the good old days.
It is inevitable that the heart will be nostalgic and unwilling.
However, the day after day of meditation and chanting gradually calmed her mind.
Without the bonds of the past, without the difficulties of this life, he seemed to have found a trace of peace.
Wang Caiyu lived in Jinzhu Temple for a year, and her cousin learned about her running away from home and came to visit.
The cousin saw that his cousin had shaved her head and put on the clothes of a monk, but she was still very beautiful.
But looking at her haggard face, he was a little distressed, thinking that such a flower-like girl should not stay in the temple.
So he made up his mind that he must let his cousin change his fate and get married again.
My cousin's boss, Jiang Zhaocong, recently lost his wife and lives alone, and urgently needs a virtuous wife to take care of the household.
The cousin then told Jiang Zhaocong about Wang Caiyu, and proposed to persuade his cousin to return the customs and remarry Jiang Zhaocong.
Jiang Zhaocong heard Wang Caiyu's story and was very sympathetic to her.
Under the persuasion of his cousin, Wang Caiyu finally chose to return the custom and get married again.
In June 1886, Wang Caiyu took off his monk's robe, put on a red hood again, and married Jiang Zhaocong, who was 22 years older than himself.
Although the two are not small in age, they are in love.
Jiang Zhaocong treats Wang Caiyu like his first lover, and Wang Caiyu also has new expectations for his marriage.
The next year, Wang Caiyu gave birth to a boy to Jiang Zhaocong, and the couple had a good relationship, and Wang Caiyu also regained his happiness.
However, the good times did not last long, Jiang Zhaocong died of the epidemic in 1895, and Wang Caiyu became a widow again.
However, Wang Caiyu still has to fulfill the duty of a mother and raise the child alone, so that the late husband can feel at ease.
Wang Caiyu's painstaking efforts were not in vain, because his son could already read.
This marriage provides Wang Caiyu with a new hope and a chance to find her own happiness.
Wang Caiyu rekindled hope in despair, and despite some setbacks in life, she did not give up and continued to move forward.
Time is passing, but life is constantly passing, and everyone must find their own light on the path of fate full of thorns.
The dedication of the mother
A year later, she gave birth to Chiang Kai-shek, his first son.
Wang Caiyu cried happily when he saw his son and gave him all her love.
I'm afraid he will follow in his footsteps.
She cooked three meals a day and tirelessly taught him to read, read, write, and practice.
to train his son to be a man of erudition.
The happiness didn't last long, though.
When Chiang Kai-shek was five years old, Chiang Zhaocong suddenly fell seriously ill, and Wang Caiyu was once again widowed.
At first, Wang Caiyu experienced pain and confusion, but soon she regained her strength and decided to take on the burden of raising her children.
Therefore, she was busy with housekeeping during the day, and at night she diligently studied the ways of settling accounts and managing finances so that the Jiang family's business could be run in an orderly manner.
Wang Caiyu watched his children grow up day by day, and also began to think about his future.
She felt that her son should not be bound by traditional etiquette, and decided to persuade her in-laws to support her son to study in the United States.
Finally, at the age of nineteen, Chiang Kai-shek left his mother and went to study in the United States.
The American trend of thought broadened his horizons, and after returning to China, he firmly chose to follow Sun Yat-sen and join the revolution.
Wang Caiyu did not fully understand the path his son had chosen.
However, she is a smart mother, she respects her son's opinion and does not object.
Wang Caiyu died of an illness in 1921 at the age of 58.
At the time of her death, she was both worried about her son's future, but also a little relieved and proud.
Her education was not in vain, and no matter what role he played, her son was already an adult.
She was good for him to be alive, and she didn't regret it at all.
Wang Caiyu's life is indeed full of ups and downs, but she always looks at the changes in life with a contemplative mentality.
Her careful nurturing of her children fully reflects a mother's infinite love for her children.
