Legacy, it's a very heavy topic. Many people eventually turned against each other because of their inheritance, sisters became enemies, and many originally harmonious families eventually fell apart. Ordinary families are still so badly affected by their inheritance, let alone those of celebrities.
Ji Xianlin should be familiar to everyone, he is one of the few masters of Traditional Chinese studies in China who is recognized by everyone, and has left a lot of works and achievements. The second half of Ji Xianlin's life was almost spent at Peking University, loved by the masters and students of Peking University, and can be said to be an important spiritual symbol of Peking University.
In 2009, Mr. Ji Xianlin finally left us at the age of 98. Under the farewell of the central leaders and well-known people from all walks of life, Mr. Ji Xianlin completed his brilliant life under the embrace of flowers. But who could have imagined that not long after the death of Old Master Ji Xianlin, his son and Peking University were in a fight over the inheritance.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="33" >, the gap between father and son is serious, like a strange road, and they have not seen each other for thirteen years</h1>
The story of Ji Xianlin's father and son is really a very bloody family drama. Ji Xianlin's eldest son was named Ji Cheng, and from this name, it can be seen that Ji Xianlin expected of his eldest son. Ji Cheng was born in 1935 and grew up in Jinan Province. Ji Cheng's birth mother was Ji Xianlin's wife, Peng Dehua, who was arranged for him by Ji Xianlin's parents. Although Peng Dehua himself is of average talent, he is filial piety and good temperament, and is a standard good wife and mother.
Ji Xianlin and Peng Dehua also maintained family harmony, but because Ji Xianlin was in the stage of studying at that time, Ji Xianlin left home to study in Europe when Ji Cheng was very young, which also led to Ji Cheng's childhood only hearing about his father in other people.
As Ji Cheng grows up, he has fully adapted to life without his father. When Ji Cheng was 11 years old, Ji Xianlin finally returned to China after completing his studies. At this time, Ji Cheng felt quite strange to Ji Xianlin, and this father seemed to be a stranger in Ji Cheng's eyes. However, Ji Xianlin did not live for too long when he returned home, and at this time, Ji Xianlin had already accepted the invitation of Peking University and went to Peking University to teach. Just when Ji Cheng was not fully familiar with his father, Ji Xianlin left home again.
Finally, Ji Cheng's college entrance examination ended and he was admitted to a school in Beijing. At this time, Ji Chengcai began to have long-term contact with Ji Xianlin, and the feelings between father and son began to gradually recover and heat up. Slowly, as Ji Xianlin became famous at Peking University, Ji Xianlin began to bring his family to live in Beijing, and at this time Ji Cheng was considered a family reunion.
The good times are always short-lived, and at the beginning of the 10-year catastrophe, Ji Xianlin was also affected and forced to delegate labor. The communication between Ji Xianlin and Ji Cheng was once again broken, and at the same time, the relationship between the two people was affected by the movement. At the end of the movement, the relationship between Ji Xianlin and Ji Cheng was restored again, but the rift still existed, just hidden, just waiting for an opportunity to erupt again.
The timing of this outbreak was that Ji Xianlin's wife Peng Dehua was seriously ill and hospitalized, and in front of the hospital bed, Ji Xianlin and Ji Cheng broke out again, and the two people spoke harshly to each other, and finally broke up completely. The two men never saw each other again, did not care about each other, and this stalemate was thirteen years. Although Ji Cheng later said that his relationship with his father was not so bad, it is undeniable that the father-son relationship between the two was seriously hurt, and it was not until the end of his life that the two were reconciled.

After the contradiction between Ji Xianlin and Ji Cheng intensified, Ji Xianlin began to live on the campus of Peking University for a long time. In addition, Ji Xianlin's age is older, and his body is also getting thinner and thinner. Considering Ji Xianlin's body, Peking University also takes great care of Ji Xianlin.
For the first 7 years, Ji Xianlin has been living in the Langrun Garden of Peking University, and Peking University has specially arranged a life assistant for Ji Xianlin to take care of Ji Xianlin's diet and living. However, Ji Xianlin's health was getting worse and worse, and in 2002, Ji Xianlin's body had serious problems, and then Peking University arranged for Ji Xianlin to be admitted to the famous 301 Hospital for treatment and convalescence.
The doctors and nurses at the 301 Hospital later recalled that Ji Xianlin's convalescence life in the hospital was very pleasant. Even Ji Xianlin is willing to enlighten doctors and nurses who encounter setbacks and difficulties, and many doctors and nurses regard Ji Xianlin as a close friend. Moreover, Ji Xianlin himself did not have a great pursuit of materials, and rarely made demands. The hospital also arranged a comfortable environment for Ji Xianlin as much as possible, and arranged food and living according to his daily life.
In the last few years of Ji Xianlin's hospital, his body was tortured by illness, and the whole person looked very emaciated. However, what makes Ji Xianlin happy is that in the last period of his life, the contradiction between Ji Cheng and him finally disappeared, and the two people were able to meet, which can also be regarded as a fulfillment of Ji Xianlin's wish.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="31" after > the funeral, Ji Cheng and Peking University competed for inheritance</h1>
Shortly after Ji Xianlin's death, everyone was immersed in the thought of remembering Ji Xianlin, and Ji Cheng suddenly asked Peking University to return Ji Xianlin's inheritance. This request caused a huge storm.
The source of this storm was in 2001, when Ji Xianlin signed a heritage donation agreement, and Ji Xianlin would donate his calligraphy and painting collection and other inheritances to Peking University after his death. This caused a huge sensation at the time, but the background of the agreement was that the relationship between Ji Xianlin and his son was in a tense period.
However, in the last year of Ji Xianlin's life, the relationship between Ji Xianlin and Ji Cheng was restored, so Ji Cheng asked Peking University to return the various cultural relics and paintings of Ji Xianlin that were kept on his behalf. However, Peking University said that Ji Xianlin did not revoke his donation agreement before his death, so Peking University has the right to save Ji Xianlin's various antique calligraphy and paintings and other relics, and Ji Cheng's recovery act is completely invalid.
Ji Cheng retorted that In the last year of his life, Ji Xianlin had redistributed his estate and amended the donation agreement, saying that his inheritance was only managed by Peking University. For Ji Cheng's statement, Li Yujie, the secretary who accompanied Ji Xianlin in the last days of his life, put forward a different statement and refuted Ji Cheng's statement. Li Yujie said that Ji Xianlin has decided to donate his entire inheritance to Peking University, and has not changed his idea of donating at all.
However, Ji Cheng claimed that Li Yujie was secretly hiding Ji Xianlin's relics, and also provoked the relationship between their father and son to obtain benefits from them. In the end, Ji Cheng and Peking University confronted each other in court, so far, the two sides have not had a clear result, and the entanglement of Ji Cheng, Peking University and Li Yujie is still continuing.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="27" > conclusion</h1>
Although Master Ji Xianlin's life was brilliant, it was painful after all, but Ji Xianlin was free for people and did not suffer from it. Ji Xianlin once said that "on the road of life, everyone is a lonely traveler.". This may be the portrayal of Ji Xianlin's life. Estranged from his family before his death, teenagers left home to study, middle-aged people taught in different places, and elderly fathers and sons turned against each other, until the end of their lives, they did not improve.
After death, everyone around the inheritance is in the whirlpool of the storm, and there is no peace, which may be the fate of Master Ji Xianlin. The story may not be conclusive until much later, and we can't judge the merits of it now.
