At the beginning of the 20th century, China, an ancient and ever-changing land, gave birth to countless historical figures that attracted the attention of the world.
In that era, there were three sisters whose names crossed the sky of history, and they were the three sisters of the Song family: Song Qingling, Song Meiling and their eldest sister Song Ailing.
Song Ailing, a name that has left a deep imprint in the history books, may not be as dazzling as her sister, but her life is just as magnificent and even more legendary.
She is the eldest daughter of the Song family, and she is very wise and brilliant when she is young. Despite her illustrious family background, Song Ailing has never been satisfied with being just a lady, she is full of curiosity about the outside world and is determined to step out of her own world.
In 1915, Song Ailing was already studying medicine at Tongji University in Shanghai, and while receiving education in China, her horizons were broadened.
When she heard about the feminist movement in the United States, she was filled with a yearning for women's freedom and equality, and this strong inspiration drove her to the United States in 1920 to further her studies.
It was a time of great possibilities and challenges.
In the United States, Soong was not satisfied with being a mere academic, she actively participated in the struggle for women's rights, and because of her sharp and straightforward rhetoric and keen political insight, she soon caused a small storm in American political circles.
On one occasion, Soong and several activists were invited to a dinner aimed at strengthening U.S.-China relations.
At the dinner, the leader of the 1920s, then president of the United States (in actual history, there is no record of which American president Soong had significant interactions with, so leave it blank here), made some disrespectful comments about China in his speech, which aroused Soong's strong resentment.
She did not hesitate to fight back bluntly in the field, her words straight and sharp, vowing to seek justice for her country.
This style of behavior was unusually abrupt in the political situation that was still dominated by men at the time, but she won the admiration of many Chinese students and female compatriots.
It was in this context of passion and struggle that Song Ailing met her lifelong partner, Kong Xiangxi, a direct descendant of Confucius from a famous family.
Both are international students and share the same dream of revitalizing China. Kong Xiangxi was attracted by Soong Ailing's superior wisdom and strong patriotic feelings, and Soong Ailing also had a deep respect for Kong Xiangxi's humble and gentlemanly temperament and loyalty to his family and country.
After a period of dating, the two were convinced that each other was looking for each other's lives, so they decided to enter the palace of marriage.
With each other's support and encouragement, Song Ailing did not give up her dream of the country and her responsibility to society. After graduation, the two returned to China together, injecting the knowledge and ideas they learned in the United States into the turbulent era of the Republic of China.
At home, they have been actively involved in political and social activities, especially in the fields of health care and education.
The legendary Song Ailing, although the confrontation with the president is only one of the scenes, she has left far more than these for future generations.
Like many great historical figures, her story is full of adventure, wisdom, daring, passion and love.
She is not only the sister of Song Qingling and Song Meiling, but also a mirror of the image of Chinese women in that era, reflecting the bravery and independence of women in that era.
The coordinates of Song Ailing's life are remembered in countless historical nodes: from the campus in Shanghai, to the lecture hall in the United States, to the streets of Beijing after marriage, she has brought her own beliefs and persistence, and let the trend behind her stir the direction of the times.
Her life, like her uninhibited temperament, is turbulent, ups and downs, and shines with her own unique brilliance.
