Do you know the local tycoon family that stood at the peak of wealth in the Republic of China period? This mysterious and powerful family can be said to have controlled the economic lifeline, political direction and even the fate of the family and country during the Republic of China period, and every move of this family will affect the food, clothing, shelter and transportation of ordinary people.
In particular, the female members of this family can be said to be a woman who does not let her eyebrows be shaved, and their appearance has played a pivotal role in the stage of modern and contemporary Chinese history, that is, the three sisters of the Song family. Today unveils the mystery of the three sisters during the Song and Republic of China periods.
Everyone has two families in their lifetime. One is the family that raises us from babies who fall to the ground, the so-called original family, which has a father, mother, and siblings.
The other is a new family we formed with our significant other when we are adults. The three sisters of the Song family are a unique story, whether they are the original family or the new family.
During the Republic of China period, under the influence of feudal residual ideas, most people, whether they are relatives of the emperor or a cloth cloth, will give priority to cultivating boys in the family, hoping that boys will become the dragon wind among people and get ahead. The parents of the Song family are a clear stream in this big trend, but they pay special attention to the cultivation of girls in the family.
Father Song Yaoru returned from studying in the United States in the early years of the famous family, mother Ni Guizhen is a descendant of the Ming Dynasty mathematician Xu Guangqi, the two outstanding people combined with their own strength, active in politics, diplomacy and other fields, and gradually joined the upper class.
Because of Song Yaoru's rich background of studying abroad, he has learned a lot of advanced ideas and a new style of doing things, so he is also very serious about his children's academic education.
Their children are all sent abroad to receive the most advanced education, the latest trend of ideas, it is precisely because of this family education edification, and then the three sisters let western ideas and Oriental traditions coexist, laying the foundation for future life, the eldest sister rich Tao Bai, the second sister admired by thousands of people, the third sister's fame and parents' special education is inseparable.
Grew up in the same family, but the three Sisters of the Song family have completely different personalities, the eldest sister is bold and courageous, confident and spicy; The second sister Qingling is graceful and courageous, and the third sister Meiling is squeamish and domineering, but it is undeniable that they are all talented and strange women.
When the three sisters were young, there was a Taoist priest in the family who predicted the development direction of the three sisters, and the boss was rich in fortune and good fortune, and he gained a lot in terms of money; The second has the political ability to strategize, not a thing in the pool, and the future spouse is slightly older; The third has a strong personality, is good at sociability, and will be in a foreign country in the future. Was this Taoist priest's prediction accurate? Time has verified its authenticity.
At the age of 15, she was sent to the United States by her father to start a 5-year study abroad career, and successfully completed her studies abroad at the age of 20, at this time, Song Xialing far exceeded her peers in both knowledge and vision. As for her future opportunities, what will happen to her?
After Song Xialing returned to China, she joined the League and was responsible for serving as a secretary to her father, who was a loyal supporter of Sun Yat-sen's revolution, so her main work content was not only to deal with paperwork, the most important thing was to help Dr. Sun Yat-sen raise funds. Two years later, Sun Yat-sen became the interim president, and Because of his excellent work, Soong Became Sun Yat-sen's secretary through his father's recommendation.
Time flies quietly, and Song Xialing discovers that she not only admires and admires Dr. Sun Yat-sen, she unconsciously falls deeply in love with Sun Yat-sen. After several hints, Sun Yat-sen was not moved, but unfortunately the flowers fell intentionally, the water was merciless, and he thought that Song Xialing was his right-hand man, a like-minded friend, a sincere ally, and nothing more.
The job gradually bored her, and she planned to look for a ruyi langjun. In September 1914, she married Kong Xiangxi, a descendant of kong who held the lifeblood of the national economy, and the two major families of Song and Kong were strongly united. After marriage, he introduced his sister Song Qingling to take over the work of the secretary, which was an unintentional move that changed the life of his sister Song Qingling, and the subsequent development was also an unimaginable accident of Song Qingling.
Secretary Song Qingling has done a very good job, no less than her sister. She was particularly supportive of Sun Yat-sen at work and spiritually, and the two had personalities and similar political views, and gradually developed feelings, rising from revolutionary feelings to sparks of love. Sure enough, this feeling was noticed by Song Xialing from afar.
This powerful elder sister felt angry, and it was she who personally recommended her sister to Sun Yat-sen as a secretary, which in turn promoted her sister and the person she liked, and this anger constantly reminded her that she must destroy this relationship. She informed her father that she had asked to obstruct the second sister's choice, and even threatened that the second sister was no longer her own family.
At this time, there is only one person in the family to support the second sister, that is, Song Meiling, the little sister who studied in the West. She blessed her sister to find the "hero" in her heart, and she agreed with her sister's choice very much.
Qingling's personality is the most resolute and decisive, she believes that things or people who look right, must try, and it is not the second sister of the Song family who gives up lightly. After some twists and turns, under the arrangement of Sun Yat-sen, soong Ching Ling and the two expressed their hearts to each other, and they got married in Japan, and the wood was already a boat.
The combination of the second sister and Sun Yat-sen completely caused a serious estrangement between the two sisters. The second sister, Qingling, is also the most famous of the three sisters, and her husband is Sun Yat-sen, the father of the country who overthrew the feudal dynasty.
After that, Soong Ching Ling followed her husband Sun Yat-sen's footsteps and threw herself into the revolutionary cause together, beginning her arduous revolutionary career and fulfilling their common beliefs. After the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Soong Ching-ling spent the rest of his life running around to realize the political ideals of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, which is the continuation of their love belief, and also the unfinished revolutionary ideal of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and it is also the pursuit of Soong Ching-ling's life. She dedicates her life to China's bright future, and she binds everything she has to the destiny of the country and the nation.
At this time, the big financial planner Song Xialing appeared, and after marrying Kong Xiangxi, the rich side became a rich and prestigious family, but her ambitions were not satisfied. Her grasp of the international and domestic situation can be seen in her unique vision.
With a keen sense of political smell, Xia Ling decided to win over the big tree of Chiang Kai-shek and deliberately matched her younger sister Song Meiling to marry Chiang Kai-shek, which was the result of her weighing the pros and cons and thinking about it again, and this ambitious idea was actually affirmed by the third sister Meiling.
After Song Meiling returned from studying in the United States, her diplomatic means were also extraordinary, not only proficient in various languages, but also quite accomplished in Chinese painting, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her man must be a generation of heroes. The Third Sister's Western-style way of thinking and concept of life have long fascinated Chiang Kai-shek, and the most important thing is that Soong Mei-ling has excellent diplomatic courage, and after some hard pursuit, the two decided to get married.
However, at this time, he was strongly opposed by the second sister, and Soong Qingling inquired from Dr. Sun Yat-sen about Chiang Kai-shek's behavior, believing that his marriage proposal was a kind of political attachment psychology, not a hero pursued by the third sister. But her objections made no sense, and the third sister finally realized her dream of marrying a "hero".
This directly leads to the sisters becoming political opposites, they are the sisters of a mother and a brother, but also the enemy of different political views, even if the flesh and blood of a mother's brothers, there is an insurmountable political gap. This marriage was an important factor in the second estrangement between the three sisters.
After the marriage of Jiang and Song, Song Meiling used her strong connections to make a lot of help for the development of Chiang Kai-shek's career, which is a typical xiannei helper. Since then, the Jiang family, the Song family, and the Kong family have become increasingly prosperous together, and the Song family, the Kong family, and the Jiang family have all reached their peak.
Later, Chiang Kai-shek betrayed the revolution, but the Soong family united with Chiang Kai-shek. Later, his younger brother Song Ziwen painstakingly competed with Kong Xiangxi for the financial power of the Nationalist government, and the marriage was broken. Since then, the three Sisters of the Song Family have chosen different marriage partners due to their huge political differences and different beliefs, destined for different directions in life, and have officially parted ways.
When I was a child, the relationship was extremely close to the three sisters of the Song family, but the later direction of life was completely different, the eldest was greedy for money, the second was patriotic, and the third was in love with power, but in fact, the third sister and the eldest sister also had irreconcilable conflicts, and Mei Ling represented the interests of the ruling class, and for this interest, she went around with the leaders of various countries; In the heart of the eldest sister, there is nothing more important than money, and what is upheld is the interests of the feudal big capitalists, and the two sisters have a great difference between the state and wealth.
Because of different political beliefs, even if the sisterhood is deep, they cannot be closely related. The above contradictions of the three sisters of the Song family are faced by everyone very cautiously, but they are also useless and helpless. I always feel that the three sisters of the Song family are all excellent and outstanding women, and what makes people feel even more emotional is their final ending.
Song Qiling is the first of the three sisters to die, she chased fame and profit in this life, regarded money as fate, in order to control the economy, did not hesitate to plan a marriage for her sister, in the treatment of children's education is more based on the principle of money first, resulting in future generations are basically stupid children.
The illustrious Song Kong family was gone, and it became her regret that she had not been able to continue her wealth. Is the desolation of old age the result of different beliefs?
The second sister Qingling had entrusted someone to send a letter to Mei Ling before she became seriously ill, expressing her hope to see her again, but the third sister refused, how much family grievances she endured, and how lonely she was in her heart.
When she learned the news of Qingling's death, Mei Ling was sad and sad many times, and she was sad alone. There is no doubt that Mei Ling is helpless and heartbroken about the estrangement between family affections, but due to her special identity, her personal emotions can only be hidden. Once upon a time, will Mei Ling remember the good intentions of the second sister to her before marrying Chiang Kai-shek?
The three Song sisters have promoted the process of China with unique identities and are well-deserved female heroes.
