Fourth, there are many mountains and mountains

Liu Jiwen returned from school in 1917, but he did not return to Shanghai to meet With Song Meiling because there was more important revolutionary work waiting for him. In the revolutionary military government in Guangzhou, he served as the quartermaster general of the military government's base camp, and his affairs were very busy, but this still did not prevent him from writing love letters to Song Meiling, who was far away in Shanghai, and communicating each other's feelings. Although Liu Jiwen also knew that there were far more obstacles in front of the two of them than when they were engaged in the United States, he was still full of confidence that he could enter the marriage hall with the person he liked. For two whole years, although they were in the same country, the connection between the two people was completely a book of Hongyan.

At this time, Soong Ching-ling wrote many letters in Guangzhou to invite Soong Mei-ling to see the situation after the Guangzhou Revolution, and since Sun Yat-sen defeated the Kuomintang reactionaries, the revolutionary situation in Guangzhou has been gratifying.

Song Meiling had long planned to visit Liu Jiwen, the lover who thought about it day and night, but her mother Ni Guizhen obstructed her, and although her father died, her mother's mountain was still blocked in front of her eyes. Ni Guizhen also knew the news of Liu Jiwen's return to China, so every time Song Meiling wanted to go to Guangzhou, she had all kinds of excuses to postpone the time to block her little daughter.

Song Meiling saw that the second sister's letter was just taking this opportunity to go to Guangzhou, and when her mother saw Song Qingling's letter, she had no reason to force obstruction, so she had to let it go. Song Meiling was as cheerful as a bird out of the cage. But at this time, she did not know that her love road was about to turn a corner.

At night, Yangcheng is illuminated like day.

A restaurant called "Hui Ru Lou", a young woman and a handsome young man sat in the hotel. This woman is Song Meiling, and this man is Liu Jiwen. It is said that lovers who have not met for a long time, the atmosphere at this time should be sweet and tender, but the atmosphere at this moment is full of embarrassment and coldness.

The Military Government in Guangzhou wanted to organize a group of people to go to Europe to investigate the economy, and Liu Jiwen resolutely and resolutely submitted an application to accompany the delegation to investigate. Liu Jiwen went to Europe this time, first, to study the economy of Europe, and there is another important reason, hoping that his emotional distress will disappear in an instant, because Liu Jiwen knows that although Song Meiling's father Song Yaoru is ancient, Song Lady Ni Guizhen is still alive, and she is strongly opposed to the marriage between the two. The last time Liu Jiwen went to Shanghai, he wanted to visit his mother-in-law, but Song Meiling set the meeting place in a coffee shop on the Bund, and Liu Jiwen could feel the emotional suffering that Meiling suffered in the family. Therefore, he took the opportunity to go to Europe to ease the contradiction between himself and the Song family, and at the same time he also looked forward to "distance producing beauty", hoping that after he left for a period of time, his relationship with Meiling could be more sublimated.

However, Song Meiling was very unhappy and unhappy. First, because Liu Jiwen made such a big decision, he did not consult with himself in advance. Second, because I have traveled thousands of miles to find a lover in Guangzhou, who knows that his lover will have to travel far, whether his career is important or his own is important, which is more important? This kind of question can be put on any girl who is angry.

The date between the two people was so unhappy that song Meiling stayed at Song Qingling's home that night, and the one-night stand was depressed and unhappy.

Song Meiling knows that if she obstructs slightly, Liu Jiwen will definitely stay in the country, but after all, Song Meiling is a rational and intelligent woman, she feels that feelings must be based on mutual respect, if Liu Jiwen is forced to stay in the country, even if he is married, he will certainly not be smooth in the future, instead of this, it is better to let him go far, only the water will come into place, the resources will enter the marriage hall, this is happiness and satisfaction. Thinking of this, her state of mind suddenly became enlightened, and she began to sexually forgive Liu Jiwen's decision to go abroad without authorization.

At this time, it was nearly noon, and she was going downstairs to eat. She walked down the spiral staircase covered with red carpets, and in the dark corridor leading to the small dining room, she heard her brother-in-law Sun Yat-sen talking to a man with a Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent, whose voice was loud and in a fiery tone. She couldn't help but be a little curious, and leaned over to the living room to peek into the distance.

Just because I saw you more in the sea of people, this glance not only changed Song Meiling's love, but even changed China's modern history!

Song Meiling peeked over and saw a man sitting on a rattan chair opposite Sun Yat-sen, his head holding a military hat, and his black leather shoes were shiny, bright as his bald head.

I don't know what Sun Yat-sen said to this person, but this person suddenly stood up, gave Sun Yat-sen a standard military salute, and vowed: "I will definitely train a group of excellent officers for the president." ”

Song Meiling couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw this person's meticulous movements, but coincidentally, both Sun Yat-sen and this person heard Mei Ling's laughter. The two people in the living room turned back at the same time, and Sun Yat-sen introduced himself to the soldier: "This is Madame's little sister, named Song Meiling." ”

Song Meiling found that the soldier actually looked at herself directly, she had never been looked at directly by a soldier, and her heart could not help but feel a pang of nervousness and shyness, and after saying hello, she hurried to the restaurant.

Everyone must have guessed that this soldier with a Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent is ----- Chiang Kai-shek.

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek, the limelight is flourishing, the performance of the "Yongfeng Ship" made him a confidant of Sun Yat-sen, and now he is going to become the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy, of course, in the married life, he is also "like a fish in the water", more than ten years ago, when he was in his hometown, he married his wife Mao Fumei, and after arriving in Shanghai, he "lived in a hundred flowers, and the leaves were stained", and there were countless women who had a close relationship, including the same Suzhou girl who Yao Yecheng lived with for a few years, and then married chen Jieru, a fifteen-year-old student, and now met With Song Meiling. Let him germinate love again, it seems that Chiang Kai-shek's hormone hormones are too strong.

Jiang Gong is also very cool

Of course, Chiang Kai-shek's lust for Soong Meiling is by no means a little bit of hormones doing strange things, more importantly, he has raised this kind of marriage to the height of politics and career, he knows that whether it is Mao Fumei or Yao Yecheng and Chen Jieru, they cannot be his political right-hand men, and only a woman like Soong Meiling who has only knowledge, ability, and strong background family relations is an important weight for him to seize power in the future. Under various considerations, Chiang Kai-shek decided to attack --------- and boldly pursue Song Meiling!

Of course, it is too abrupt to pursue such a lofty woman by relying on only one side of the fate, so it can only be dredged through the relationship between President Sun Da. When he expressed his desire to pursue Soong Meiling, Sun Yat-sen laughed, and then waved his hand one after another, negating his request, only for Sun Yat-sen to know that Soong Meiling would definitely not look up to Chiang Kai-shek, and Sun Yat-sen also knew that Soong Meiling also had a sweetheart---- Liu Jiwen.

But Chiang Kai-shek was not impressed, he begged President Sun Da to help him dredge up for himself, and said, even if you can't be a husband and wife, you can always be a good friend, right?

Sun Yat-sen reluctantly agreed to this situation, and it is conceivable that Song Meiling was scornful of this, she did not look at this Jiangsu and Zhejiang soldier at all, and when she thought of his very contrived performance in front of Sun Yat-sen, she felt ridiculous and disgusted.

This episode came to an end temporarily, Liu Jiwen went to Europe to investigate, Song Meiling originally wanted to stay in Guangzhou to work, but at one point her mother urged her to return to Shanghai, she had to return to Shanghai again. During this period, between her and Liu Jiwen, there was still "fish passing on the ruler, sending plum blossoms", and it was in this back-and-forth letter that smoothly spent the waiting years. Just after the Spring Festival, when Liu Jiwen was about to return to China, a letter flew from the other side of the ocean and broke Song Meiling's heart, which was a letter of apology from Liu Jiwen.

"Mei Ling....I would like to report to you an unsatisfactory message, that our return time was bound to be postponed, because after we left Germany, we found that our expedition had just begun, and our itinerary would continue to expand to the whole of Europe.....In this way, our return trip would be at least in the spring of 1925..."..." (Excerpt from Liu Ji's letter)

Song Meiling fell into deep distress, full of sorrow, marriage, now it seems that at least after a year or two, she even regrets letting Liu Jiwen go abroad at that time, why a man's career is always more important than love!

It is useless to recycle self-hatred and self-pity, his lover is far away in Europe, he is bored, and he simply relieves his anxiety by working. So, Song Meiling set out to start an orphanage, the work of the orphanage is complicated, in this busy work, Song Meiling's restless new beginning stabilized, and gradually he no longer fell into the distress of his children's love, just when the orphanage started, one day, she suddenly saw a familiar photo and name from the "Declaration": Jiang Zhongzheng.

It turned out that Sun Yat-sen, the head of Chiang Kai-shek, was entrusted to go to Russia for an inspection, and he set out from Shanghai. Song Meiling had no way, a soldier he didn't look at before, now he got such a heavy responsibility.

At this time, Song Qiling also said to Song Meiling with a newspaper: "I told you once upon a time, don't underestimate the soldiers. However, your high school, your study abroad experience shackles your hands and feet, contemporary society is still a male-dominated meeting of us women, although we can not serve as political protagonists, but also can not live a life of mediocrity, so there is no political opening of the little white face, in fact, is not advisable. Song Meiling knew that the eldest sister had knocked on Liu Jiwen's side again.

Fifth, the wind and clouds suddenly changed

During Chiang Kai-shek's visit to Russia, the scenery was really unique, and the news and newspapers were full of news about him. This made Song Meiling's psychology love god's impression of Chiang Kai-shek, and he felt that Chiang Kai-shek really had a different trend than before.

At this moment, a letter from Liu Jiwen came from Europe again, and the contents of the letter made Song Meiling's tears wet the hem of her clothes, because Liu Jiwen said in the letter that he was going to postpone his return to China because he wanted to continue his studies abroad.

Fast forward to 1925, and Song Meiling was 28 years old.

This year was a miserable year for Song Meiling:

Far from his beloved partner, he lives alone in Shanghai;

Liu Jiwen also sent a letter from England, in which he apologized again, because he would continue his studies at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom;

Most crucially, his second brother-in-law, Sun Yat-sen, died of illness in Beijing. The "May Thirtieth Massacre" broke out in Shanghai.

Of course, during this period, she had the privilege of getting acquainted with the young marshal "Zhang Xueliang" who mediated the tragic case, which made her lonely soul get some nourishment.

The 28-year-old was already an old girl at that time, and now her mother Ni Guizhen also opened her eyes: as long as Liu Jiwen came to ask for warmth, she also agreed. The eldest sister, Song Qiling, also advised the younger sister not to love persistence and to consider Chiang Kai-shek. Although Song Meiling now resents Liu Jiwen, she still loves Liu Jiwen in her heart. Now let her marry such a bald soldier, or unwilling.

Just when Song Meiling was fierce in her heart for Chiang Kai-shek and Liu Jiwen, her mother Ni Guizhen introduced her to a marriage, and the object of this introduction can be said to be prominent, he was Tan Yanmin, who was then the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition.

Song Meiling had a side hospital with him, that is, when Meiling went to Guangzhou, with the second sister Song Qingling attending the banquet, she met Tan Yanmin once. Tan Yanmin behaved modestly and steadily, had a high prestige in the revolutionary army, participated in the Wuchang Uprising in his early years, and had deep seniority, even Sun Yat-sen respected him a few points.

However, Song Meiling did not expect that now he actually wanted to propose marriage by himself, and Song Meiling's body trembled with anger, because Tan Yanmin had been widowed for many years, and now "Guigeng" was nearly half a hundred. Song Meiling suddenly felt sad, she did not expect that her age had been reduced to such a point, and she needed to marry a widowed middle-aged and elderly man who was 17 years older than herself. (If Song Meiling had lived so far, she might not have been so sad)

It was in this difficult love road that he finally survived until 1926, a year in which Song Meiling's lonely heart finally warmed up: Liu Jiwen returned to China in March!

Liu Jiwen thought well on the way back to China, this time he must go and propose to the Song family to the retail family, and he wants to marry his beloved Song Meiling in a pompous and beautiful way.

After the "Zhongshan Ship Incident", all the military power of the Kuomintang was controlled by Chiang Kai-shek, and now he is engaged in martial law in the whole city, and the whole revolutionary situation is shrouded in horror, Liu Jiwen had to hide in the home of his father-in-law Gu Yingfen, who advised him: "You must not go to Shanghai to propose marriage now, because Crest once talked to me, let us not break his good deeds." ”

"Bad things for him," Liu Jiwen was very shocked, and he suddenly remembered that Soong Mei-ling had talked to him about Chiang Kai-shek's pursuit of Soong Mei-ling, and at that time the two of them only took this matter as a joke, but they did not expect that now this had become a real nightmare.

Chiang Kai-shek interfered in his marriage and snatched love with a knife, making Liu Jiwen hesitate. Sure enough, a few days later, liu jiwen's biggest fear happened, and Chiang Kai-shek sent him an invitation card inviting him to a banquet to pick him up.

Although Liu Jiwen and Chiang Kai-shek had a friendship in Japan, they were only general friends. Besides, he is now in a high position of power, and as the commander-in-chief of the National Revolutionary Army, he must have had other intentions in honoring and demoting himself to a banquet.

Liu Jiwen did not want to go to the banquet, but when he thought of his father-in-law's advice a few days ago, he remembered Song Meiling in Shanghai, and if he refused, the consequences would be unimaginable, and a literati and a soldier with a butcher's knife could only seek perfection and could not confront the enemy.

On top of the banquet, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, Chiang Kai-shek's rogue rogue face finally appeared: "Brother Zhaoming, although I have women now, they are all useless women." When Mr. Zhongshan was alive, he hoped that I would unite with Ms. Meiling, and only when she came out to support me could the great cause of the revolution succeed, and at that time, it would be beneficial not only to me, but also to the party and the state, Brother Zhaoming, what do you think? ”

Liu Jiwen had a fire in his heart, he did not expect Chiang Kai-shek to be so despicable, and he was wise that he had a marriage contract with Mei Ling earlier, but he wanted to talk about this matter in front of him in a mysterious way, and even more, he also played the banner of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, clearly threatening himself. Liu Jiwen hated his weak personality, he wanted to explain his affair with Mei Ling, but in the end, he did not dare to say it, just nodded his head there.

"I think Brother Zhaoming will definitely be an adult beauty," Chiang Kai-shek had already penetrated Liu Jiwen's mind, and he knew that this white-faced scholar would never dare to speak out in front of him. "As early as when I was in Guangzhou, I had a relationship with Miss Meiling, when she was busy with official duties. So it has been delayed so far. If I had grasped a little tighter at that time, Miss Mei Ling would have been braver, and perhaps she would have been married a long time ago, and now that things are imminent, do you dare to bother Brother Yu of Zhaoming? ”

Liu Jiwen's forehead was covered with fine sweat, he did not expect that Chiang Kai-shek's methods were so vicious, and he had learned to be rich in five cars, but he was so vulnerable in front of this bald soldier. Suddenly, Liu Jiwen vomited during the banquet, and the pain was overwhelming. Chiang Kai-shek saw the pain in his heart and stopped pressing questions, so he ordered his bodyguards to send him back to his apartment.

Liu Jiwen fell ill because of this, and the marriage proposal trip to Shanghai also died prematurely.

His father-in-law, Gu Yingfen, persuaded him that Liu Jiwen should marry Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling from Yucheng. Only in this way can we give Song Meiling happiness and at the same time get herself out of the predicament. After thinking about it, Liu Jiwen finally made up his mind and wrote a letter to Song Meiling, who was far away in Shanghai: The torrent of the Northern Expedition is rolling forward, and he now has no intention of getting caught up in qingqing and my children's love. He hoped that Song Meiling would be like him, putting the great cause of revolution first and reconsidering her own future.

Of course, the implication is that the marriage of two people cannot go to the other side of victory. Such an insincere expression was the result of his inner entanglement, but he knew that sooner or later this letter would have to be written.

At this time, Song Meiling was sitting in a troubled city in Shanghai, and originally hoped that Liu Wen would come back to China to visit him and then get married, but he did not expect to wait for such a cold letter of renunciation.

After waiting bitterly for ten spring and autumn seasons, Liu Jiwen gave him ruthless indifference and made her cry like rain. Song Ziwen said that Brother Zhaoming was certainly not a ruthless and unrighteous person, and I think he must have been troubled by some external influence. I think there are things that are sentient but not fateful, and we don't have to force them.

Song Meiling at this time is also puzzled, why his beloved person is so thin and widowed, Song Meiling is painful and remorseful, and even feels that he has been fooled, his ten years of youth are wasted on him, since he is ruthless, then why should I bother with him. Thinking of this, the sorrow she had accumulated in her heart also disappeared, and she decided to come out of a shadow!

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek stepped up his pursuit of Soong Mei Ling, a crazy pursuit. Finally, in May 1927, 40-year-old Chiang Kai-shek and 30-year-old Song Meiling made their first date in Jiaoshan, Zhenjiang.

Chiang Kai-shek specially sent a special train to meet Song Meiling, and Song Meiling and another middle-aged nanny saw the flower train as soon as they entered the train station.

The train is speeding forward, Song Meiling's eyes also flashed in front of the newspapers he had read a few days ago, the headline was "Commander-in-Chief Jiang nominated Liu Jiwen as the special mayor of Nanjing", Song Meiling's beautiful fantasies when she first fell in love were shattered, and weak scholars like Liu Jiwen, just after returning to China, just embarked on the career path encountered the show or nuclear threat of Li Lu's power, in the face of power, love is so vulnerable!

After the group boarded the special train, Song Xialing returned to the residence alone. At about 3 p.m., the train entered Zhenjiang Station, which was already full of guards. Chiang Kai-shek, who had been waiting there earlier, wore a luxurious and straight suit, a high-grade straw hat, white leather shoes, and a line of guards standing behind him.

The officials saw Song Meiling get out of the car, like the stars, everyone looked up, Song Meiling had never experienced such a grand reception in Shanghai, which made her feel uneasy just now and suddenly rise a vanity. At this time, the uneasiness in her heart suddenly turned into nothing, she felt that she was quietly walking towards the Chinese political stage, she was like a rising star in the political arena, Song Meiling suddenly had a kind of sneaking joy, secretly happy that she had not missed this marriage. The pipes of the two people were sublimated during the seven-day tour of Jiaoshan Mountain, and the feelings quickly warmed up. Finally, after Chiang Kai-shek "conquered" Mei Ling's mother Ni Guizhen in Japan, he decided to hold a century wedding with Shanghai on December 1, 1927, and the male partner of the wedding was Liu Jiwen, ---.

Of course, the role of male minister was fulfilled by Liu Jiwen, because he had told Soong Mei Ling and Chiang Kai-shek that as long as their marriage could achieve something, he would do his best to support their marriage. He wanted to tell the world that liu jiwen was not chiang kai-shek's love enemy, but on the contrary, he was a staunch supporter of chiang's and Song's marriage.

As early as Sun Yat-sen's lifetime, Liu Jiwen set a firm principle for himself: As a man of letters, if he succeeds in great things, he must rely on the supreme commander- - formerly Sun Yat-sen, now that Sun Yat-sen is gone, his political idol is Chiang Kai-shek. He knew that this was also the main reason why he finally lost Song Meiling.

Later, in Nanjing, Liu Jiwen finally found his lifelong partner, his wife Xu Shuzhen, a student at the Shanghai Yanmo Girls' School. Xu Shuzhen is good at grooming, elegant and pleasant attire, both beautiful and versatile, it is said that there were many "rich and handsome" people who pursued Xu Shuzhen at that time, but she finally chose Liu Jiwen, who was 17 years older than herself. On October 18, 1928, Liu and Xu were married at the Majestic Hotel in Shanghai, with Chiang Kai-shek and Tan Yanmin as witnesses.

Liu Jiwen and Xu Shuzhen wedding (Xu Zi looks more than Song Meiling)

Since then, Song Meiling and Liu Jiwen have established their own families, and there is no longer a personal intersection of emotions. After the defeat of the Kuomintang in Taiwan, Liu Jiwen and his wife fled to Japan first, and then were invited to Taiwan by Chiang Kai-shek. In the summer of 1956, Song Meiling met Liu Jiwen for the last time at the "Veterans General Hospital".

When she passed through a ward after the physical examination, she heard a painful moaning sound from inside, which was the secretary telling her: This is Liu Jiwen.

Song Meiling's heart suddenly tightened, and she half-returned to her senses: What is his illness?

The secretary said: Bowel cancer is advanced and will soon die.

Song Meiling's mood cannot be described in words, there is sadness, pity, nostalgia, and guilt. She really wanted to cross the screen and go to the sickbed to take a look, but this Mrs. Jiang, who had experienced vicissitudes in the political arena, withdrew her feet and turned away fiercely. A year later, the news came that Liu Jiwen had died of illness.

Song Meiling read the obituary text, and sorrow came from it, and she stood in front of the window of the Shilin official residence, letting the tears wet the cheongsam.

She knew that her grudge with Liu Jiwen had come to an end!

Postscript: Regarding the theory of Song Meiling's first love, in fact, there are many opinions, and it is inevitable that there will be various objections, especially the views held by Liu Jiwen's widow, Ms. Xu Shuzhen, which are even more eye-catching. The truth of history is sometimes really confusing. This article mainly refers to the book "The First Love of Song Meiling and Liu Jiwen" written by Mr. Dou Yingtai, and also refers to the bibliography of "Beauty and Sorrow" written by Taiwanese writer Wang Feng.
