Rank, welcome to the study of history
Ma Ying-jeou, who has been out of office for almost eight years, has visited the mainland again, and this time he has visited many cities, especially in Shaanxi, where he met the tomb of Ma Yuan, the ancestor of the Ma family, and in this cemetery, Ma Ying-jeou was told that in fact, almost 20 years ago, Mr. Ma Ying-jeou's old father, Ma Heling, also came to the mainland in the last year of his life, and also came to Ma Yuan's tomb, and planted such a tree with his own hands. Ma Ying-jeou touched this tree that has been 19 years old, and he was really emotional, after all, it has been 19 years since his father left him.
Mr. Ma Heling passed away in November 2005, and a few months before his death, he also came to the mainland to visit the mausoleum of General Ma Yuan. What was Mr. Ma thinking at that time? His heart must have been full of expectations for his son, but it was a pity that Ma Ying-jeou had not won his position. Ma Ying-jeou has indeed had a smooth ride along the way, and he has a total of five children in his family, four older sisters and one boy in his family, so you can imagine how much Ma Ying-jeou was able to be taken care of by his family when he was growing up, especially his old father Ma Heling, although he was not a big official, he was still an old man of the Kuomintang, and he had frequent contacts with the top leaders of the Kuomintang, which also laid the foundation for Ma Ying-jeou's later rise.
Ma Ying-jeou is a typical neighbor's child, he studied very well when he was a child, and when he grew up, he went to the United States to study, and returned to Taiwan after obtaining a doctorate。
Because after all, at that time, the mainland Taiwan and the United States had very close contacts, and Chiang Ching-kuo also very much needed to know at any time about the comments of the American media on him, and when he met with foreign guests, having such an English secretary could also help him a lot, so where to find such a suitable talent, some people suggested that Ma Ying-jeou was very good, on the one hand, we know that Xiao Ma Ge is definitely a talent, Li Ao often commented that the senior officials of the Kuomintang are all human-faced and animal-minded, and the high-ranking officials of the Democratic Progressive Party are basically animal-faced and animal-minded, he means that the high-ranking officials of the Kuomintang are all human-like and dog-like, and they all have overseas academic qualifications, and Ma Ying-jeou just meets Chiang Ching-kuo's requirements, especially his father Ma Heling, who works in the Central Committee of the Kuomintang all the year round, then he belongs to an innocent family background and has red roots, so Ma Ying-jeou successfully became Chiang Ching-kuo's secretary.
Let's think about it, as the secretary of the top leader of the region, this starting point is quite high, and later James Soong and Ma Ying-jeou have participated in the election of the governor of the mainland and Taiwan, which is indeed because their political starting point is very high, and Ma Ying-jeou does live up to expectations, after serving as the secretary of Chiang Ching-kuo for many years, he served as the so-called Minister of Justice of Taiwan, and won the election of the mayor of Taipei, and his term as mayor of Taipei has been until 2006, when he happened to be in office for the second term, all the Taiwanese media believe that Ma Ying-jeou will definitely go to the election in 2008, and just before Ma Ying-jeou wants to win the election, his father Mr. Ma HelingIn other words, he did not see his son, the most glorious day, but Mr. Ma Heling made a request to his son, what is the request? This request is engraved on his ashes.
On the ashes of Mr. Ma Heling, he left behind a sonorous and powerful 20-character last words, turning independence into gradual reunification and rejuvenating China in an all-round way, and working together to help the strong and the weak, and marching together toward great harmony.
At this time, Ma Heling knew that his son would definitely be able to be elected to the throne, so he pinned his hope for the reunification of the motherland on his son, and he hoped that the grand and grand wishes that could not be fulfilled by their generation could be fulfilled by the next generation.
Especially for a patriot like Ma Heling, who firmly believes that the country must be reunified, how pleased he should be to be able to hand over such an important task to his son, but it is a pity that Mr. Ma Ying-jeou later, although he was elected governor of Taiwan, and he has been in office for two and eight years, he has indeed promoted many good policies during his tenure, including the realization of the three major links between the two sides of the strait as soon as he took office, and a large number of mainland friends can easily travel to Taiwan, and the two sides of the strait have also signed an ECFA agreement. However, the weakness of Mr. Ma Ying-jeou's personality led to the fact that the great cause of reunification fell short in the end, and even after Ma Ying-jeou, the Kuomintang did not even have the opportunity to govern.
Let's put it this way, Ma Ying-jeou is polite and polite, and he seems to be amiable, which makes him gain a lot of Taiwanese public opinion, so that in his life, all the elections have not been lost, as long as he wants to vote, he will definitely be able to vote, but the problem is that I am afraid that he is so polite and polite, so he is too weak to treat opponents in the party or opponents outside the party, so that he loses a good start.
What can Ma Ying-jeou do today? He may only be able to lead many young people from Taiwan to visit the mainland of the motherland every year to see Guangzhou, Shaanxi, Shanghai, and Beijing, but I am afraid that this is only what he can do. When he had great power, he didn't think to use it well, but today he has completely retired, has become an old man in his seventies and eighties, we still praise these things he does, we still recognize, but really he missed the best opportunity, so that his old father's last words to him, turn independence and unification, he can't achieve it.
