Love encounters politics, and most of the failures are love. Zhang Yaruo and Chiang Ching-kuo are examples.
Zhang Yaruo, formerly known as Zhang Mao Li. Born in 1913 in Nanchang City, a family of scholars. His father served as the county magistrate of Suichuan County. After resigning from public office, he became a lawyer again. Good living and educational conditions have cultivated her talent. During his secondary school years, he not only excelled in cultural classes, but also sang and danced. In addition, she is also good at cooking, female celebrity, and helping her mother take care of the housework. In the future life, she is full of golden fantasies.
However, fate ruthlessly shattered her fantasies. The prevailing belief at the time was that women were going to marry sooner or later, and it was useless to read more books. Zhang Maoli himself did not want to marry early, but under the pressure of tradition, the father, who had always been enlightened, had to find a family affair for his daughter, who was only fifteen years old.
The groom settled down, it was her cousin Tang Yinggang, who was three years older than her. From the beginning, the marriage was a mistake. Tang Yinggang had no new-style education, and he was conservative and wooden, and it was difficult to win the favor of his wife; Zhang Yaruo was forced to interrupt his dream of studying, and his heart was even more unwilling. Their lives, like Karenin to Anna, are boring, boring, like a pool of stagnant water. It was not until the eighth year of marriage, when her husband died unexpectedly, that she was liberated from this unhappy marriage. At this time, she was only 23 years old.
In 1937, Zhang Mao li changed his name to Yaruo. In early 1939, in order to escape the war, the family went to Ganzhou. Just when Zhang Yaruo, who came to a foreign land, was looking around for a job to support her family, she would not realize that a man who had changed her destiny was coming to her.
At that time, Chiang Ching-kuo, who had returned from the Soviet Union, was sent by his father to be the administrative commissioner of Gannan to accumulate political capital. Chiang Ching-kuo, who has taken office as a new official, is ready to make a big fuss here and straighten out the work style of officials and the people. Many aspiring young people flocked to the Commissioner's Office to serve it.
Zhang Yaruo also wrote a cover letter. When Chiang Ching-kuo read it again and again, she was greatly moved and instructed her subordinates to arrange for her to work at the commissioner's office. Over time, the feelings of the two gradually warmed up, and they both fell in love. Almost every day or two, Chiang Ching-kuo would meet his lover in an old mansion. In this small world where the two enjoy themselves, they forget the war, they forget their identity, and they forget the words of the people.
But the words of man have not forgotten them. Soon, the underground love affair between Jiang and Zhang became an open local secret. In order for the two to last forever, Jiang Chingguo, who is already a husband with a wife, promises her that he will take her to see her birth mother Mao Fumei whenever he has time, as long as her mother nods her head and admits that she is his official wife.
Just when Zhang Yaruo was looking forward to getting Jiang Mu's recognition, a bad news came, japanese planes bombed Xikou, and Mao Fumei was unfortunately killed. Chiang Ching-kuo went to the funeral, tearfully wrote "blood for blood" and vowed revenge. In this regard, Zhang Yaruo's plan to obtain Jiang Mu's recognition was frustrated.
At this time, Chiang Kai-shek also heard that his son had a lover in Gannan province, and in order to quell the rumors, a telegram recalled him. As soon as the father and son met, Chiang Kai-shek ordered him to sever ties with Zhang Yaruo, but Chiang Ching-kuo refused to live or die. Knowing that she already had the blood of the Jiang family in her belly, she arranged for her to go to Guilin to give birth.
Soon, Zhang Yaruo gave birth to twins, Chiang Chingguo was ecstatic, and when Chiang Kai-shek learned the news, he personally named xiaoyan and filial piety and included them in the family tree. But after all, she was not a ming media married, and she had no fame and status, which made her worried about the future of herself and her children.
To this end, she gave Chiang Ching-kuo both soft and the one hand, to carry out a tender offensive, every time he returned, she prepared for him to eat food and snacks, sewed intimate clothes, so that he could enjoy the pleasures of the family; on the other hand, she learned English, planning to take two children across the ocean and never come back.
Chiang Ching-kuo was completely caught in a dilemma. He can't give up your lover and my lover, and he can't give up the bright political future in the future. The helpless Chiang Ching-kuo could only evade the problem by delaying. But he never expected that Zhang Yaruo would suddenly die in the hospital.
On the afternoon of August 14, 1942, Zhang Yaruo went to the home of Chiang Ching-kuo's friend Qiu Changwei to attend a dinner party, and when he returned late at night, he vomited and diarrhea, and was sent to Guangxi Provincial Hospital for treatment on August 15. Sudden death in the hospital on the same day.
The death of Zhang Yaruo has always been a mystery, disease? assassinate? There is no conclusive conclusion. If it is an assassination, then who is the black hand? Some people say that Huang Meimei, the secretary of Chiang Ching-kuo's side, made up his own mind for the future status of the "princely grandfather"; others said that Chiang Kai-shek, who was in Chongqing, saw that his son was deeply involved in extramarital affairs, which may threaten the political life of the Chiang family, so he recruited Chen Lifu and asked him to do Zhang Yaruo. Chen Lifu, who had obtained Shang Fang's sword, sent someone to carry out the assassination plan.
When Jiang Chingguo heard the news of his lover's death, he immediately sat down on the sofa without saying a word, he did not dare to say, let alone ask, but just let the tears roll down. Due to the situation at that time, he had to ask someone to take care of his lover's affairs.
Since then, he has dusted off his emotional world, completely devoted himself to politics, and stepped onto the peak of power step by step. I don't know if on his deathbed, will he remember the difficult period of beautiful love, think of the only confidant with a red face?
