In March 1975, Chiang Kai-shek, who was in the corner of Taiwan on the island of An’an, had a foreboding that he was going to be dead soon, so he hurriedly summoned the high-ranking KMT officials and his son Chiang Ching-kuo to explain the political affairs of Taiwan after his death.
After explaining the affairs, Chiang Kai-shek's longing eyes seemed to indicate something. For a long time, he said his wish buried in his heart, and then closed his eyes with regret. And his last wish has now become the common expectation of the people of the whole country.
Even though his son Chiang Ching-kuo worked very hard, he failed to fulfill Chiang Kai-shek's last wish. Instead, he finally set up the same wish as his father Chiang Kai-shek before he died. This is unbelievable.
Let's take a look together. What is the last wish of Chiang Kai-shek? Why is it that his last wish has now become the expectation of the people of the whole country? What did Jiang Jingguo do for his father's last wish?
From September 1948 to January 1949, after losing the Liaoshen, Huaihai, and Pingjin battles, the Kuomintang army went downhill until December 1949, when Chiang Kai-shek was desperate for the overall situation. Accompanied by several cronies, took a flight from Chengdu to Taipei.
A few days before he left for Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek and his family came to his hometown, Xikou Town, Fenghua, Zhejiang. They jointly worshipped his mother’s grave, and looked at the hometown where he had lived since childhood. Returning to his homeland again, but for the rest of his life, never set foot on this land again.
In 1967, Chiang Kai-shek was 80 years old. As the president of Taiwan, he no longer clamored about the ambition of "counterattack the mainland" every day when he retired to Taiwan. He often carried a chair and sat on the quiet beach. His lonely gaze overlooked the ocean, letting the sea breeze blow, and his mouth whispered: "That's the direction of home."
Retreat from the Kuomintang to Taiwan, it is convenient for the mainland to cut ties. In this way, many soldiers were forced to He left his hometown with him and came to this side of the Taiwan Strait. The hearts of the people were long. The soldiers' homesickness became stronger and stronger. Even Chiang Kai-shek himself sometimes couldn't suppress the long-suppressed homesickness in his heart.
As the saying goes, "The more the bird knows the south, the fox must die." Even the fox knows that he must die in his hometown. Isn’t Chiang Kai-shek’s heart full of homesickness and tears? Strait? This also led to his last wish before his death.
In March 1975, Chiang Kai-shek, who was in his twilight years, felt that his body was about to run out of oil, so he called his cronies and his son to explain what was going on behind him. Chiang Kai-shek finally called his eldest son Jiang Jingguo to his side and carefully instructed him: "After I die, the coffin can't be put into the soil, but I can temporarily place my coffin in Cihu, where it is very similar to our hometown in Fenghua. When the country is truly unified, I will bury my coffin in my hometown, and the fallen leaves will return to their roots."
can be seen, Before his death, Chiang Kai-shek seemed to have put aside his inner political opinions, just like an ordinary old man, hoping that he could return to his hometown in his later years. We can also see that at this time, Chiang Kai-shek’s last wish contained more or less a trace. The meaning of wishing for the reunification of the motherland.
Some people might think, is it possible that until his death, Chiang Kai-shek still dreamed of "counterattacking the mainland"? Was it just for his son to inherit his will to counterattack the mainland before he died? This is a bit idiotic and dreamy. Imagine Taiwan's small land, how can it have that strength to attack the mainland?
Perhaps Chiang Kai-shek had completely abandoned his political prejudice before his death, or perhaps he was really a Chinese, showing his last wish for China's reunification, and his unfulfilled wish in this life. , And can only rely on the younger generations to achieve it.
Let’s analyze how Chiang Kai-shek views the relationship between mainland China and Taiwan. Since Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan, he has been looking forward to the outbreak of the so-called "third world war", when he can be in capitalist countries such as the United States. With the support of the People’s Republic of China, they took the opportunity to counterattack the mainland.
However, due to the unpredictable changes in the complex international environment, Chiang Kai-shek did not wait until the death of the fantasy, the outbreak of the third world war, so he took his remnants and defeated soldiers to stick to Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek has the support of the United States, so Our People's Liberation Army had to temporarily alleviate the plan to release Taiwan, and this wait took decades.
Although Chiang Kai-shek has illusions,But when the US government urged him to engage in "Taiwan independence," Chiang Kai-shek firmly opposed the "two Chinas" proposal. It can be seen that although Chiang Kai-shek occupied Taiwan, he did not have any idea of separating Taiwan from Chinese territory.
Even though Chiang Kai-shek has all kinds of sins, we have to admit that on the issue of the ownership of Taiwan, he is indeed a person who distinguishes right from wrong in terms of national sovereignty and national justice, if it were not for his insistence "One China" thought, Taiwan may have long been independent, even if we will not recognize it, but in the international environment at that time, who can guarantee that there will be no other variables?
Chiang Kai-shek was 62 years old when he left the mainland and retired to Taiwan. He inherited my Greater China culture of "fallen leaves returning to the roots". In the bottom of his heart, Chiang Kai-shek did not want to be a ghost in a foreign land. In words.
In 1956, Chiang Kai-shek sent Cao Juren to visit the mainland. Chairman Mao warmly received Cao Juren and put forward the famous "one outline and four eyes" policy towards Taiwan. One outline means that Taiwan must return to the motherland. The four eyes mean: 1. After Taiwan’s return, the central government should be responsible for its foreign affairs; 2. If Taiwan’s military and administrative expenses are tight, the central government can allocate funds to support it; 3. The central government respects Chiang Kai-shek’s wishes and Taiwan’s social reforms can be carried out when the time is right; 4. Both sides It is agreed not to send people to sabotage, not to engage in spies.
Our great Chairman Mao knew very well that Chiang Kai-shek missed his homeland, so he arranged for Cao Juren to go to Chiang Kai-shek’s hometown, Fenghua, and took a lot of pictures with him. After Cao Juren returned to Hong Kong, he sent the pictures to To Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan.
After seeing the photos, Chiang Kai-shek was full of emotions, and saw that the furnishings in his home courtyard were as good as before, without any change. The momentary homesickness once again occupied his heart. Even if he deliberately concealed it, he could not restrain his bleakness. look.
But Chiang Kai-shek at that time still couldn't give up his inner stubbornness. It was not until 1965 that Chairman Mao met Cao Juren again. Chairman Mao knew that Chiang Kai-shek wanted to return to the mainland and his hometown, so he wrote two poems. "The bright moon is still there, when will the colorful clouds return",Expressed the chairman's hope that Chiang Kai-shek would let go of his prejudices and promote the unification of the motherland.
For this reason, Chairman Mao also proposed to allow Taiwanese personnel to come to the mainland to visit relatives, allow Taiwanese personnel to visit and travel in the mainland, and release a large number of Kuomintang war criminals and give them freedom. No matter where they go, the CCP will not interfere. If you want to stay on the mainland, the central government can assign jobs to them.
At this point, after Chiang Kai-shek heard the relevant news, he unconsciously admired the "enemy" who hit him to Taiwan. Presumably the old man might be wondering in his heart, why is he fighting the Chinese Communist Party? Perhaps at this time, he already wanted to understand why he would retreat to Taiwan.
Until 1975, the 88-year-old Chiang Kai-shek sent his cronie Chen Lifu to visit the mainland. It can be seen that the stubborn Chiang Kai-shek was already showing his favor to the mainland. Chiang Kai-shek hoped that Mao Zedong would have the opportunity to visit Taiwan. Chen Lifu published an article in the newspaper. The article also stated that the Taiwan authorities welcome Chairman Mao or Premier Zhou to visit Taiwan.
Slowly, Taiwan and the mainland are incompatible with fire and water, and the isolation from the world seems to be alleviating. The people at that time were thinking that our great motherland might usher in reunification in the near future, and the barriers separating the two sides of the strait will be No longer exists, compatriots on both sides of the strait will be able to communicate with each other immediately, and the separated flesh and blood will be reunited again. What a beautiful picture.
But if things were going in the way at that time, it should be as good as we thought. However, in March 1975, when Chiang Kai-shek wanted to restart the cross-strait peace talks, the 88-year-old Chiang Kai-shek had finished his life, and until his death he was thinking about returning to his hometown.
So when he was dying, he specifically asked his son not to put his coffin into the soil, but to temporarily place it in Cihu, which was very similar to his hometown. Perhaps he thought that even though he could not see the peace talks between the two sides of the strait The situation is over, but the cross-strait peace talks will eventually be held, at which time their coffin can return to the mainland with Taiwan and be buried in their hometown.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, we all know that in front of the screen, Taiwan has not returned to our motherland until now, perhaps the dead Chiang Kai-shek never thought that his coffin was still parked in Cihu.His beautiful last wish did not come true, and his wish before his death has now become the expectation of the people of the whole country.
After Chiang Kai-shek's death, Chiang Ching-kuo was greatly influenced by Chiang Kai-shek. It also adhered to the one-China principle and made efforts to improve the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland.
In his later years, Chiang Ching-kuo successively let go of the policies of returning veterans to their hometowns and visiting relatives on the mainland. For a time, there were many moving scenes of Kuomintang veterans looking for relatives and friends in the mainland. They were all innocent people. Who wouldn’t want to stay with them often? Where is your hometown?
Chiang Ching-kuo also secretly sent people to the mainland to promote peace talks, and to his death he criticized the proposition of "Taiwan independence" on the island of Taiwan and adhered to the one-China principle. However, due to various reasons, Chiang Ching-kuo failed to realize Chiang Kai-shek’s last wish to return to the roots of fallen leaves. Instead, he died with the same last wish as Chiang Kai-shek.
In 1988, Chiang Ching-kuo died of illness and left a last word before his death. After his death, he would also be buried in his hometown in Xikou. Therefore, the Taiwan authorities placed Chiang Ching-kuo’s coffin in San San, Fu'an Lane, Taoyuan County, Taiwan. On the terraces, the two fathers and sons of the Jiang family finally passed away with regret.
With the death of Chiang Ching-kuo, the Chiang family’s status in Taiwan’s political situation has gradually declined, and Taiwan’s internal political situation has been mixed, and the relationship between Taiwan and the mainland has slowly moved towards an unknown direction.
No matter how many faults Chiang Kai-shek had in the early years, he was at least a hundred times stronger than the current Taiwan authorities. In his later years, he at least adhered to the "one China principle". Most certainly, Taiwan did not return to the motherland at that time. Taiwan is China's territory is an eternal fact.
We believe that in the near future, Taiwan, the treasure island, will return to our great motherland. This is the trend of history and the aspirations of the people. All saboteurs who dare to destroy our country’s territorial sovereignty will be crushed by the trend of history. Until the body is broken into pieces.
Finally, we use a poem by Mr. Yu Guangzhong to express the deep worries among compatriots on both sides of the strait. "When I was young, homesickness was a small stamp. I am here, and my mother is there. After growing up, homesickness is a narrow ticket, I am here, the bride at the other end. Later,Homesickness is a short tomb. I am outside and my mother is inside. But now, homesickness is a shallow strait, I'm on this end, and the mainland is on the other.
