After Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling married, the husband sang with the woman, and the relationship has always been good. However, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Chiang Kai-shek and two women surnamed Chen secretly interacted with each other, and Song Meiling, who was full of jealousy, was so angry that she ran away from home twice.
Before Chiang Kai-shek married Soong Mei-ling, he had officially married Chen Jieru in 1921. Although Chen Jieru was born in a humble background, she knew how to write and be reasonable, had a typical oriental woman who was gentle, and did not treat people like a completely Westernized beauty age. She was obsessed with Chiang Kai-shek, and her marriage to Chiang was not motivated by any political and economic interests—when they married, Chiang Kai-shek was poor and far from a character. Later, Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling fell in love, and in order to break through some political difficulties, Chiang Kai-shek proposed to break up with Chen Jieru and let Chen Jieru go abroad for 5 years so that he and Song Meiling could complete their marriage. Chen Jieru was also convinced at the time, because Chiang Kai-shek assured her that after 5 years of returning from the United States, the two could still live together, so Chen went to the United States in August 1927.
Fourteen years later, in 1941, Chen Jieru returned to Shanghai, and when Chiang Kai-shek received the news, he sent someone to escort her to Chongqing. After a long absence of 14 years, the two secretly exchanged with Song Meiling, and the dream was revisited and the frontier was renewed. Chen Jieru is 10 years younger than the so-called young and beautiful Song Meiling, and her figure is very tall, only slightly lower than Chiang Kai-shek's height, and the harmony of her facial features and the beauty of her face are not at all under the beauty age. For a long time, Song Meiling was kept in the dark. However, paper could not contain the fire, and Song Meiling, who finally knew about this situation, was furious and could not accept it, and after a big fight with Chiang Kai-shek, he fled away from home. She flew to the United States in November 1942 to relax and did not return to Chongqing until July 1943.
After Song Meiling returned to Chongqing, Chen Jieru had to pack her bags and return to Hong Kong and live a life of seclusion. Chiang Kai-shek was less of a confidant of red and pink, and the marriage between Chiang and Song was also good for a while, but the stable situation did not last long. A few months later, in Chongqing, it was reported that Chiang Kai-shek's new lover was Chen Lifu's younger niece, Chen Ying, and some said to be Chen Bray's daughter. It is rumored that this Miss Chen Ying, who served as Chiang Kai-shek's English secretary, was not only young and beautiful, talented, but also from a famous bridesmaid, with a slender figure and white skin. I like to wear a beige cheongsam, long shawl hair, beautiful as a waterfall. Especially when she looked up at people, there was a slightly wild mischievous energy. In order to hide his eyes and ears, Chiang Kai-shek later arranged for Miss Chen to work as an English teacher at Huangshan Middle School on the outskirts of Chongqing, and then, under the pretext of tutoring English, went to Huangshan Middle School to "learn foreign languages" at two ends in three days.
This time, after Song Meiling learned the news, she did not move, and secretly sent someone to investigate Chen Ying's details. When the time was ripe, one night, Song Meiling led his cronies to a surprise attack, and "caught the double in bed" in the house on the spot. However, after Song Meiling won a great victory this time, she just indifferently flicked her sleeves away, because mourning was greater than heart death. In Song Meiling's heart, it has been 16 years since she married Chiang Kai-shek. Along the way, ups and downs, hardships and tribulations have depended on each other. She once mentioned to her friend that everything in the past can be forgiven, after all, she (Chen Jieru) also accompanied Chiang Kai-shek for a period of time.
But this time it really broke her heart and recognized Chiang Kai-shek's dual personality. Jiang's renewed infidelity made Song Meiling's heart ache. She didn't make a big fuss, she didn't cry and shout. Song Meiling chose Brazil, far away from relatives and friends, and left home again in July 1944 to soothe her wounded heart alone.
Chiang Kai-shek's infidelity to marriage not only led to Song Meiling's two indignations and running away from home, "stimulating" her to write a love novel "The Past Is Like Smoke" that missed her first love, but also triggered Song Meiling's only "cheating": a scandal with Wendell Wilkie.
Who is Wendell Wilkie? Speaking of which, he is a legendary figure, and Americans call him "WeirdIe." Wilkie was born in 1892 and was born a lawyer. In 1940, he became the candidate for the presidency of the United States, competed with Roosevelt for the presidency, and finally lost to Roosevelt by a small margin of votes. Although Wilkie and Roosevelt were political enemies, they had a good personal relationship. Roosevelt said that if he won, he would ask Wilkie to be his secretary of state. Later, Wilkie was defeated, and Roosevelt partially fulfilled his promise to fly around the world as the president's unofficial representative.
In the autumn of 1942, in Chongqing, China's capital of compensation, Wilkie was highly uplifted. More than forty years later (1985), Mike Cowles, the deputy who accompanied Wilkie on a "travel around the world" and the founder of the US "Prospect" magazine, revealed a secret that had been "dusty" for decades in a book called "Mike Looking Back" - in October 1942, when Wendell Wilkie, the special envoy of US President Roosevelt, visited Chongqing, Soong Meiling had an "affair", and when Chiang Kai-shek found out, he angrily led soldiers armed with automatic rifles to catch the adulteress.
Stirling Schigleve also has this passage in the book "The Song Dynasty" that illustrates Song Meiling's extramarital love affair at that time: "Before it is Song Meiling's turn to show charm to the United States, she first tests her seduction with Wendell Wilkie. Wilkie lost to Roosevelt in the late 1940 election. In order to comfort him, Roosevelt sent him on a friendly and goodwill visit to China in the autumn of 1942... There is no doubt that the little sister of the Song family has easily conquered a person. At a relief agency tea party she presided over, she draped in an Air Force general's coat and, with irresistible feminine tenderness, delicately acknowledged that Mr. Wilke was a very 'seductive' man. Such a confession made President Roosevelt's personal representative feel comfortable. ”
At that time, Song Meiling was troubled by her husband and Chen Jieru's frequent tiredness of being together, and her "red apricot out of the wall" empathy for Wendell Wilke, perhaps as revenge for Chiang Kai-shek.
