In the short history of the Republic of China for just a few decades, the four major families occupy an important position in it.
The four major families, who once called for wind and rain, have all made enough capital and strength for their families, both politically and economically.
In the primitive stage of their fortune, they were full of plunder and blood, and they wanted to maintain the long-term prosperity of the family by relying on the wealth and political capital they had accumulated.
However, in fact, after the end of the first generation of the family, each family has gradually moved towards the point of no return.
Nowadays, the four major families have parted ways, fighting for themselves, and there is no family affection for each other, let alone exchanges.
What is even more regrettable is that the four major families who have struggled all their lives have not been able to return to their roots in the end, and all the dead people can only die in a foreign land and bury their bones in other countries.
So, what kind of situation has happened to the descendants of the four major families, and what is the outcome.
In August 2003, Song Meiling, who had lived for more than a century, finally died in the United States.
Her death marks the end of the first generation of the four major families, and also marks the moment when the four major families finally fall apart.
The Song family relied on Song Ziwen and the three Song sisters to rise and grow rapidly.
However, the ending of the Song family was not very good.
The relationship between the three sisters and Song Ziwen is also not harmonious, and they are full of contradictions between them.
Even when Song Ziwen died in 1971, none of his three sisters attended his funeral.
And when Kong Xiangxi was alive, Song Ziwen's struggle with him never stopped, which led to a very delicate relationship between him and his eldest sister.
Song Qingling and Song Meiling have no children of their own, as for the eldest sister Song Ailing, although she has two daughters and two sons, no one has allowed Song Ailing's husband's Kong family to continue many descendants.
Kong Xiangxi's eldest daughter, Kong Lingyi, suffered an emotional crisis, and after a miscarriage, she lost her fertility.
And the second daughter Kong Lingjun, although she is a woman, she does not consume men, and she is a good woman, so naturally there are no descendants to speak of.
As for the two sons, the eldest son, Kong Lingkan, married a woman 17 years older than him, so he was naturally unable to have children.
All hope was put on the youngest son Kong Lingjie, who lived up to expectations and brought a grandson to the Kong family, but this grandson is of mixed Chinese and American descent.
In August 1967, when Kong Xiangxi died, he lamented that the Kong family was about to die. Today, his only grandson, Kong Deji, takes care of the family's affairs.
At this point, the Confucian family came to an end, and the Song family mainly relied on Song Ziwen to continue the descendants.
But it's a pity that Song Ziwen only has three daughters and no sons, and the Song family is basically over, the only difference is that Song Ziwen still attaches more importance to and cares about his grandchildren.
However, none of the nine grandsons returned to China, after all, there were too many historical sins on their backs.
As for the Chen family among the four major families, it can be said that it is relatively poor, and it is also the most unpowerful family.
Relying on the two brothers Lifu and Guofu, the Chen family did not last long.
The Chen family, which quickly made a fortune with the party affairs of the Kuomintang, still had the strength to share the world equally with the Chiang family at the beginning of their fortune, but with the weakening of the Kuomintang and the defeat of Chiang Kai-shek, the Chen family also reached the twilight moment.
After following Chiang Kai-shek to move to Taiwan, the Chen family gradually lost their due status and power, and their lives became even more impoverished, and they had to rely on the help of friends to survive.
It was under such blows and torture that Chen Guofu was the first to fall and died of illness in 1951.
Chen Guofu has no descendants, only an adopted daughter, and also lives in the United States.
His brother Chen Lifu lived until 2001, and his four children also had a better way out, but most of them still lived in the United States.
Of course, there is one point to be emphatically explained: In his later years, after returning to Taiwan, Chen Lifu has always been committed to national reunification, and he has a certain resistance to Taiwan independence.
But with the death of Chen Lifu in February 2001, the Chen family also lost its political capital and returned to a normal life.
The three major families of Kong, Song and Chen have basically come to an end, and the Jiang family is difficult to escape from the laws of history.
After fleeing to Taiwan, only the Chiang family is the four major families, and they still manipulate politics.
Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo can dominate the Taiwan region, but no one in the third generation of the Chiang family can support the big tree of the Chiang family.
Chiang Ching-kuo's 3 sons in the main room and 2 sons in the side room, plus a daughter, did not hold up the banner of the Jiang family.
Jiang Weiguo's descendants are no exception, and they have long gone to the United States to live there.
When it comes to the fourth generation of Chiang Kai-shek's descendants, only Chiang Wan-an will still appear in the Taiwanese political field.
Of course, most of the other descendants of the Jiang family also have their own achievements in commercial art.
Today, the four major families have become history, and the crimes they bear have long been settled.
Even if history has passed, historical responsibility will never disappear.
This also caused the four major families, no matter who died, no one dared to bring their ashes back to the mainland, and could only be buried in other places, forever without their hometown.
