Chiang Ching-kuo and Deng Xiaoping had a deep relationship. In 1925, Chiang Ching-kuo took a boat to Moscow to study revolutionary experience and theory at Sun Yat-sen University. Deng Xiaoping's first wives, Zhang Xiyi and Chiang Ching-kuo, happened to be sitting in the same boat. A month after enrolling, Deng Xiaoping and Chiang Ching-kuo became classmates as transfer students.
Deng Xiaoping and Chiang Ching-kuo once talked freely about China's revolution and future, when it was still the first stage of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Chiang Ching-kuo and Deng Xiaoping often read together in the morning to learn Russian. Chiang Ching-kuo always called Deng Xiaoping "Big Brother," and Deng Xiaoping later recalled that Chiang Ching-kuo at this time always said that he had "studied well."
Deng Xiaoping
In class debates, Chiang Ching-kuo always sided with Deng Xiaoping. Many Kuomintang party members questioned Chiang Ching-kuo: "Are you eating the meal of the Communist Party or the meal of the Kuomintang?" Chiang Ching-kuo replied without hesitation: "I am eating Soviet food!" Deng Xiaoping laughed after listening to it.
However, in 1927, Chiang Ching-kuo's father, Chiang Kai-shek, joined forces with Wang Jingwei to massacre Communists without warning. Since then, Chiang Ching-kuo and Deng Xiaoping, two friends of the same window, have stood on the opposite side and begun decades of competition.
After Chiang Ching-kuo followed his father Chiang Kai-shek to defeat Taiwan, the two sides were still competing. Chiang Ching-kuo took over his father's team, and Deng Xiaoping also took over the central leadership, and the old friends competed across the sea, and neither of them was soft.
It was not until 1988, when Chiang Ching-kuo passed away, that Comrade Deng Xiaoping heard of the departure of his old friend and said nine words, which made people think deeply and infinitely reverie.
Chiang Ching-kuo and Chiang Kai-shek
Which nine words did Deng Xiaoping say? What is the intention?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > the same window years of Deng Xiaoping and Chiang Ching-kuo</h1>
The sound of a cannon of the October Revolution sent Marxism-Leninism to China at that time, and proletarians all over the world saw hope. In 1921, the Communist Party of China was formally established, and a new chapter was opened in the land of China.
In 1923, the Kuomintang and the Communists proposed cooperation, and the two sides walked together for a common goal. The Communist Party helped the Kuomintang to reorganize, and the Kuomintang proposed "uniting with Russia, uniting with the Communist Party, and supporting peasants and workers." This period of time was regarded as a honeymoon period between the two parties, and Chiang Ching-kuo, as the son of Chiang Kai-shek, and Comrade Deng Xiaoping had the opportunity to meet each other.
Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow in the Soviet Union wanted to absorb a large number of Chinese youth to study revolutionary theory in the past. Both parties saw this as an excellent learning opportunity and sent a large number of advanced activists to Moscow. Among them were Deng Xiaoping and Chiang Ching-kuo.
At this moment, Chiang Kai-shek hoped to establish good relations with the Soviet side, and wanted their support and help, so he let his son Chiang Ching-kuo also study at Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow.
Chiang Ching-kuo is only 15 years old, and he is still a hot-blooded teenager. He participated in the May Thirtieth Anti-Imperialist March against the imperialist persecution of the Chinese people. He also participated in the march against the Beiyang government and was thrown into prison for two weeks.
When his father, Chiang Kai-shek, told him that he was going to send him to the Soviet Union to study the socialist revolution, he was ecstatic. Bidding farewell to his father, he took his luggage and traveled to Moscow with more than ninety people. On this boat, there was a beautiful girl, Zhang Xiyi, who later became Deng Xiaoping's first wife.
Deng Xiaoping was six years older than Chiang Ching-kuo, but he looked very young, small, white-faced, and had the grace of a scholar. Deng Xiaoping followed him to Moscow, more than a month after Chiang Ching-kuo enrolled in school.
Deng Xiaoping was very famous at that time, and when he was studying in Paris, he and his comrades founded a newspaper advocating communism and became the editor-in-chief. Many comrades have read the newspapers he edited and looked at him with admiration. Chiang Ching-kuo also noticed Deng Xiaoping, who, although he looked young, gave people the feeling of "building from a high vantage point" and "getting to the point."
After all, Deng Xiaoping was a first-hand experienceist, and his experience in doing revolution was much more than that of the immature Chiang Ching-kuo. Chiang Ching-kuo pestered Deng Xiaoping, who felt that he was friendly and often studied together. They learn Russian together, practice with each other, and the two of them learn very quickly and make great progress.
Chiang Ching-kuo served as an editorial board member in Sun Yat-sen University's school newspaper, which Deng Xiaoping often contributed. Two people come and go, communicating progressive ideas with each other. Chiang Ching-kuo asked about Deng Xiaoping's revolutionary experience in France and admired Him.
At this time, Chiang Ching-kuo had not yet been influenced by his father, Chiang Kai-shek, and he and Deng Xiaoping often participated in debates at school. It is reasonable to say that Chiang Ching-kuo belonged to the Kuomintang and Deng Xiaoping belonged to the Communist Party, but Chiang Ching-kuo always stood by Deng Xiaoping's side and spoke for Deng Xiaoping.
Therefore, several Kuomintang party members asked Chiang Ching-kuo: "Are you eating from the Communist Party or the Kuomintang?" Chiang Ching-kuo, though young but quick-witted, said, "I ate Soviet food."
Deng Xiaoping laughed when he heard this, and the people who made things difficult for Chiang Ching-kuo had nothing to say. Unfortunately, the love between the two of them came to an end because of Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek detained more than forty Communists and surrounded the offices of Soviet advisers. The news reached Moscow, where the Communists studying here and the faculty members of the Sun Yat-sen University in Moscow were indignant.
Jiang Chingguo was shocked to hear this news, and with his current age and ability, he could not influence his father's behavior. But Chiang Kai-shek's actions did implicate Chiang Ching-kuo. The students expressed indignation at Chiang Ching-kuo and Chiang Kai-shek and were isolated by the students.
Chiang Ching-kuo approached Deng Xiaoping and said, "I don't know my father's behavior, he may not be malicious, and I am very sad that my classmates targeted me." ”
Deng Xiaoping looked at Chiang Ching-kuo in front of him as if he were looking at a small child, and he slowly opened his mouth and analyzed it very seriously: "This vicious incident is enough to show that your father is anti-communist and anti-people, and has seriously undermined the process of cooperation between the two parties." Your father did do this kind of thing to bother you, because we Chinese family concept is very heavy. Although you can't choose your father, you can choose what path you want to go. Each of us cannot choose a family and origin, but the personal path is on our own. If you and your father are not on the same front, you can write to the organization to show your attitude, express your ideas with your actions instead of your fables, and give the people an organization a statement. ”
Although he is only six years older than Chiang Ching-kuo, his views on the choice of the path of life, the subjective initiative, and the concept of home and country are analyzed in the first place.
I don't know if Chiang Ching-kuo took Deng Xiaoping's words to heart, each of us can't choose our parents, but we can choose what road we want to take, and we decide our own life.
At this time, Chiang Ching-kuo listened to Deng Xiaoping's words and admired him to the ground, convincing him. However, after this conversation, Deng Xiaoping was summoned back to China by the organization. As the rainstorm approached, the warrior Deng Xiaoping was back on the most dangerous front.
Chiang Ching-kuo looked for Deng Xiaoping for a week without finding a figure, and asked the instructors to learn that Deng Xiaoping had returned to China. He was very sad, but he still chose to continue to study and wait until he finished his studies to return to China to talk to Comrade Deng Xiaoping about the past.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="67" > decades of competition between Deng Xiaoping and Chiang Ching-kuo</h1>
Chiang Ching-kuo's idea was very good, and after he finished school, he would go to Deng Xiaoping to reminisce about the past. However, his father did not give him this opportunity and launched a counter-revolutionary coup, and the Kuomintang authorities showed their "green faces and fangs" and opened their blood basins to swallow the unarmed Communists.
Chiang Kai-shek's atrocities at home once again affected his son Chiang Ching-kuo, but chiang ching-kuo's attitude this time was very clear, and he shouted along with his classmates to "Down with the counter-revolutionary Chiang Kai-shek"! Chiang Ching-kuo made clear his stand and attitude, but the Soviet authorities were extremely dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's atrocities and detained Chiang Ching-kuo in Moscow and refused to return to China.
Chiang Ching-kuo published an article in Soviet newspapers to draw a clear line with his father, Chiang Kai-shek, claiming that he would punish Chiang Kai-shek for his counter-revolutionary behavior when he returned to China. Chiang Ching-kuo's actions did not succeed in getting the Soviet Union to let him return to China, but Chiang Ching-kuo never gave up, applied to join the United Communist Party preparatory party membership, and also successfully joined the party.
During this period, Chiang Ching-kuo studied with the father of the Soviet special forces and received training, learned guerrilla warfare, and also learned Marxism-Leninism. He learned a lot, but unfortunately he later spent it on how to deal with the Communists.
In 1936, after the Double Twelve Incident, the Communists and the Kuomintang cooperated for the second time to jointly fight against the Japanese. Chiang Kai-shek negotiated with the Communists and hoped that they would come forward to take his son Chiang Ching-kuo back to China, and the Party organization agreed to mediate for the great cause of resisting Japan, and Stalin agreed.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the four major families made a fortune and passively resisted Japan. In the War of Liberation, Chiang Ching-kuo and Deng Xiaoping completely stood on both sides of the road, fighting each other with swords, and eventually Chiang Ching-kuo followed his father Chiang Kai-shek to defeat Taiwan. Chiang Ching-kuo still stood under his father's back, watching his father launch the White Terror, watching Chiang Kai-shek interfere with the process of liberation, and watching his father brutally kill the patriotic Lieutenant General Wu Shi and other martyrs.
It was not until Chiang Kai-shek was too old and ill to continue to hold power that he took over his father's authority to deal with some important matters. The time was frozen in 1973, the year when Chiang Ching-kuo's old classmate Deng Xiaoping made a comeback, and fate once again put them together, although it was across the strait.
Deng Xiaoping's first task in his comeback was to resolve relations with Taiwan and how to liberate Taiwan. Comrade Deng Xiaoping may have heard the news that Chiang Kai-shek was terminally ill and no longer handled major matters, and thought that his old classmate Chiang Ching-kuo was not a "stubborn" person. So he proposed: "At this stage, it is recommended to give priority to the use of peaceful means ..."
Deng Xiaoping's proposal was adopted, and perhaps Deng Xiaoping was chosen to solve this difficult problem precisely because he and Chiang Ching-kuo were once friends with the same window.
Comrade Deng Xiaoping motioned for some former Kuomintang people living on the mainland to write letters to Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo, send them privately, and publish them openly, expressing their desire to make contact with the Taiwan side.
Chiang Kai-shek listened with disdain, chiang ching-kuo did not care, and Chiang Ching-kuo did not know why he actually made a public reply, but this public reply was not said to Deng Xiaoping or to the mainland but to the reporter of the New York Times, and asked a foreign reporter to publish his reply to the whole world as a reply.
It is worthy of father and son, always making the family affairs of Chinese known to the whole world, boiling over, and always letting outsiders intervene and intervene. Chiang Kai-shek's father and son did not seem to understand that Chinese father could only be Chinese, with black hair and yellow skin. However, it is really incomprehensible that they want to "confess to thieves as fathers" and regard people who are not related by blood as their "fathers".
Chiang Ching-kuo told the American reporter one by one: "We are not so stupid, and negotiating with the Communist Party is equivalent to suicide." ”
From the counter-revolutionary coup of 1927 to the War of Liberation, it was provoked by the Kuomintang led by his father, but every time the Communist Party was mentioned, it was as if the perpetrators were the victims. The logic of the three views is different, it is difficult to make sense, and it is completely living in its own world.
As Deng Xiaoping made overtures with the mainland, Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo not only did not give a step down, but were very resolute. It can only be said that Chiang Ching-kuo really did not know his old classmate too well and knew nothing about Deng Xiaoping.
After Chiang Kai-shek's death, Soong Mei-ling and Chiang Ching-kuo found a "puppet" to stand in front of the stage to carry out their will, and three years later, Chiang Ching-kuo moved from behind the scenes to the front of the stage and stood up.
Deng Xiaoping and Chiang Ching-kuo once again fought across the sea. Chiang Ching-kuo adhered to his father Chiang Kai-shek's policy of "hugging the thighs of the United States," and he had "his own people" in many departments of the United States, thinking that he could control the overall situation.
Unfortunately, Chiang Ching-kuo's vision and pattern are really more than a star and a half worse than Deng Xiaoping's, and who won the war of liberation should be known? Who won the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea?
The answer was imminent, so Nixon in the United States was looking for someone to send word to Go to Beijing to meet Chairman Mao and restore normal relations with New China. The only thing that can make the United States so painstaking is the new China led by the CCP.
In 1978, President Carter of the United States bypassed Chiang Ching-kuo and met with Deng Xiaoping to negotiate the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States. 12 hours before the announcement of the good news of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, Chiang Ching-kuo's acquaintances in the United States told him the news. Chiang Ching-kuo was so angry that he felt that he had been played.
This can only be Chiang Ching-kuo's wishful thinking; the United States wants to establish good relations with the mainland; this is a matter for the United States itself; the United States always interferes in the affairs of other countries, so when will it tolerate others interfering in their affairs? President Carter did not deliberately bypass Chiang Ching-kuo, but people did not feel the need to inform at all, and people were valuable in self-knowledge.
This secret act of his old classmate Deng Xiaoping and President Carter of the United States made Chiang Ching-kuo realize that "the general trend has gone", that time has changed, and that the world is about to change completely. While holding back his anger, Chiang Ching-kuo paid close attention to the every move of his old classmate Deng Xiaoping.
Then the mainland stopped shelling Kinmen and issued a "Letter to Compatriots in Taiwan," expressing its willingness to carry out the third cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. The document openly shouted Chiang Ching-kuo.
Chiang Ching-kuo was moved by it, but his heartbeat was not because of the goodwill shown by Deng Xiaoping and them, but because Chiang Ching-kuo believed that the mainland wanted to engage in economic exchanges, cultural contests, and normal peers with Taiwan because Taiwan was richer and more successful, so the mainland was very envious.
Chiang Ching-kuo's self-confidence may really be inherited; you know, the mainland's reform and opening up is a little later, but with the mainland's vast market and unlimited potential, it is only a matter of time before it soars. However, whether Taiwan looks up or down, left or right, it is only a small island, and its productivity, consumption power, and radiation to culture are extremely small, even Hong Kong and Macao are not comparable.
But Chiang Ching-kuo is so confident, and the advantage of self-confidence is that he feels that the benefits of opening up cross-strait exchanges will outweigh the disadvantages for Taiwan, and it can also enhance the mainland's favorability toward Taiwan.
I have to say that Deng Xiaoping really knew his old classmate, and the tricks he took could lead the nose of his old classmates. Not only that, Comrade Deng Xiaoping did things very well, giving face and giving Lizi.
Chiang Ching-kuo slowly agreed to negotiate, with Lee Kuan Yew, then Singapore's prime minister, as an intermediary. Chiang Ching-kuo learned about the situation on the mainland through Lee Kuan Yew, and Deng Xiaoping greeted his old classmate Chiang Ching-kuo through Lee Kuan Yew.
Chiang Ching-kuo watched the changes on the mainland and watched Deng Xiaoping's actions, and he felt that if cooperation could be achieved, then "China's future will certainly have a great future."
However, in 1988, Chiang Ching-kuo died. His death suddenly broke the process of the third cooperation and negotiation between the Kuomintang and the Communists. The situation changed drastically, and unexpected things happened. Faced with the death of his old classmate, Deng Xiaoping said: "Unfortunately, Jingguo died too early."
These nine words express Deng Xiaoping's huge regret that the great cause is about to be completed but he was cut off by a lazy waist when he is about to complete the great cause, and also shows the high hopes that Deng Xiaoping placed on Chiang Ching-kuo, whose understanding of this old classmate actually far exceeds Chiang Ching-kuo's understanding of Deng Xiaoping. Because Deng Xiaoping's mentality was very stable and objective and realistic, Chiang Ching-kuo has always lived in his own stereotype.
Chiang Ching-kuo has always grown up behind his father, Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek could hold up a piece of heaven for him, but it also indirectly broke Chiang Ching-kuo's wings. Chiang Ching-kuo inherited his father's knowledge of current affairs and ability to flex and stretch, and was very capable of following the tide.
Chiang Ching-kuo, who had been educated by sages and Western education, may not know what national righteousness is, but everyone has their own small calculations. When he stood close to his father, it was difficult not to be swayed by the fame and fortune in front of him. The ego and the big self are constantly tug-of-war, and finally lock themselves in the world of the ego.
After Chiang Kai-shek's death, Chiang Ching-kuo was unhindered in the face of the general trend, and the person who knew the times was Junjie, not to mention that he could also take advantage of it.
Deng Xiaoping may have taken a fancy to his old classmates, so he lamented at the end that if Chiang Ching-kuo lived many more years, he might not be able to have the third cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Chiang Ching-kuo's opportunistic nature would not allow him to miss this great opportunity, and although each had his own abacus, he was not necessarily one heart, nor was his purpose necessarily the same. However, Comrade Deng Xiaoping seemed to have a strong confidence that he could play a leading and reducing the whole plan, and the original plan had long been prepared, but Chiang Ching-kuo's departure disrupted the whole plan. The chess piece is almost the same, and can only be played again.
If Chiang Ching-kuo had lived a few more years, Comrade Deng Xiaoping would have the confidence to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the whole Chinese people. Deng Xiaoping had this ability, this ambition, and this skill. However, man is not as good as heaven, "man has the ambition to soar into the sky, and he cannot pass through himself unless he is lucky."
Comrade Deng Xiaoping entrusted this great task to future generations, and the 1.4 billion sons and daughters of the mainland have all taken this task to heart. The public opinion and long-cherished wishes of 1.4 billion people cannot be stopped by anyone or any external force. Unstoppable, only the east wind is owed. The sons and daughters of China are bound to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and let the whole world see the re-entry of the giants of the East.
