Speaking of Chen Jiongming, everyone is no stranger, he is one of the military and political representatives of the Republic of China period, at the same time, in China's modern history, Chen Jiongming must be regarded as a unique existence.
At that time, there were many famous events related to him, such as the Dongjiang Uprising and the Tamsui Uprising, which we are familiar with. He was both a staunch communist and a man who had betrayed Sun Yat-sen.
Therefore, everyone's evaluation of him is mixed, such a controversial person, his life is also extraordinary, pregnant with 8 children.
His children also had a rough life, some died early, some died of old age after becoming famous, and some even disappeared and their lives are unknown, among which his eldest son was buried with Chen Jiongming.

After chen jiongming graduated, he returned to his parents to establish the Autonomous Association and the Smoking Cessation Bureau, and later participated in a number of uprisings, organized the army after the failure of the uprising, and had his own revolutionary armed forces.
Many people are also very fond of him, but unfortunately, many times people are not static, and the pursuit of different periods will become different.
The desire for power is greater than the original intention, Chen Jiongming used his former power to compete for power, and held various important positions, such as governor, minister and even commander-in-chief.
After the Xinhai Revolution, Chen Jiongming's power reached a peak, at this time, the country, the people were in a state of deep trouble, and Chen Jiongming relied on his own rights to insert his own forces in the political and military circles to consolidate his rule.
Therefore, the life of the people in Guangdong Province at this time was more difficult, and the people under Chen Jiongming's rule did not have their own power and lived very hard.
In order to better rule and profit, Chen Jiongming also set up a general's mansion for profit, which was not managed by Chen Jiongming himself, but by his sixth uncle Chen Kaiting and Chen Jiongming's mother.
The sixth uncle Chen Kaiting was only for his own interests, and under his arrangement, the General's Office issued such a decree that everything in Guangdong needed to pay taxes to the General's Mansion. Whether it is administrative, judicial or educational, all must pay taxes, and if they do not pay taxes according to the regulations, they will be convicted.
In such an environment, everyone's life was more difficult, the government became a decoration, and power was for a time controlled by warlords, politicians and bureaucrats, and Chen Jiongming often used armed violence to collect rent, according to records.
The peasants in the nearby villages were deeply affected, and many people protested and resigned their fields one after another, and Chen Jiongming said: Regardless of whether you plant or not, I will collect rent.
During this period, Chen Jiongming was undoubtedly a person who was deeply rejected by the people, contrary to the ideas of Sun Yat-sen, which is one of the reasons why they ran counter to the way.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > Chen Jiongming's eight children</h1>
Chen Jiongming has many children, five women and three boys. Such a large number of children was also very rare at that time, and at the same time, these eight children also had a very tortuous experience, and some of them lost their lives at a young age.
The eldest daughter, Chen Baoyao, was born in 1898 and married an aide-de-camp when she became an adult, who was serving in the Sichuan Army. However, after the loss of power to her father-in-law Chen Jiongming, Chen Baoyao and her husband followed Sun Yat-sen and participated in the Northern Expedition.
Unfortunately, her husband was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet during the battle and died on the battlefield. Chen Baoyao could not accept such a big change, and was devastated and never remarried in his life.
Despite this, life did not spare this unfortunate woman, because of the identity of her father Chen Jiongming, Chen Baoyao was suppressed by the Kuomintang in the future, and she was displaced for a lifetime, and finally died at the age of seventy-eight.
The tragic life of Chen Jiongming's eldest daughter seems to imply that the lives of younger siblings will also be influenced by their father and not ordinary, Chen Jiongming's second daughter Chen Baguio Chen Baguio is very smart, amazing language ability, proficient in Russian and English and other Chinese.
At first, it was relatively happy, but after the father lost power, his life began to change, and because his father had a close friend in the Soviet Union, the second daughter was taken to the Soviet Union to start a new life.
During his life in the Soviet Union, Chen Baguio joined the Bolshevik Party, lived up to expectations, and fought for communism all his life, and in his later years, Chen Baguio returned to Guangdong to pay tribute to his father.
Chen Jiongming's third daughter, Chen Ruiyao, is the one who lost her life at a young age mentioned at the beginning. She was frail and sickly since she was a child, but fortunately she was relatively wealthy at the beginning of the family and her health was relatively stable.
However, in the later period, the family had to leave his hometown, and he had been in a turbulent displacement and had no money to treat his illness, and his health deteriorated more seriously and finally died at the age of 21.
Chen Jiongming's fourth daughter, Chen Shuyao, is the happiest of the five daughters, and went to live in the United States as a teenager and married and had children in the United States. Chen Shuyao has been safe and happy all her life, but in contrast to her little sister Chen Liaoyao, Chen Louyao has been missing since Chen Jiongming's death.
Speaking of Chen Jiongming's three sons, the eldest son, Chen Dingxia, is diligent and studious, and is Chen Jiongming's very optimistic son. At that time, Chen Jiongming was critically ill after losing power, and Chen Dingxia returned to his father with his younger brother Chen Dingyan, and unfortunately contracted plague on the way.
Chen Dingxia finally failed to resist the torture of the disease, died on the day of Chen Jiongming's funeral, so he was buried with his father, Chen Jiongming's second son Chen Dingyan's life was still relatively happy, a lifetime of academic research, obtained a bachelor's degree at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and studied graduate school in the United States.
After graduation, Chen Dingyan worked in the United States, retired to become a writer, and proficient in history and bilingual writing in Chinese and English, at the end of his life, Chen Dingyan wrote a book "A Modern Historical Fact Overturned Case", so that everyone better understand their father.
However, he was deeply criticized by the politics and public opinion at that time, and in addition to these, Chen Dingyan's life was still stable, and he eventually died of pneumonia at the age of 83.
Compared with the eldest brother and the missing younger brother, Chen Jiongming's second son Chen Dingyan is still relatively happy and has studied academically all his life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > conclusion</h1>
Judging from Chen Jiongming's life, he really cannot be regarded as a completely good person for the country, although he participated in the early revolution, what he did in the later period was contrary to the original intention of the revolution.
As far as Chen Jiongming himself is concerned, he is pursuing his rights. But if we look at it from the perspective of the state, Chen Jiongming's approach is an anti-state act.
And it has a certain impact on the strength and unity of the country, Chen Jiongming's eight children have their own lives, some are happy and some are unhappy, it is not difficult to find that Chen Jiongming's approach also has a certain impact. So looking at this thing from the perspective of development, we can find that the effect of anything is caused by cause.
When doing something, we must consider the corresponding consequences and our own endurance, and do not think about the long term because of a momentary impulse or a temporary interest. If Chen Jiongming had taken a different approach and insisted on putting national interests first, then everything might have had different results.
