Speaking of the three sisters of the Song family, these three women were not only the most prominent sister group in China at the time, but also the focus of world attention, and even affected China's process and structure to a large extent.
The three Song sisters: Song Qingling, Song Meiling, and Song Ai (ǎi)ling.
Among them, Soong Ching Ling and Soong Mei Ling should be two historical celebrities that everyone is very familiar with. Only Song Ai Ling is not so familiar to the world, but it is also a stunned existence.
The prominent "Three Sisters of the Republic of China"
So what are these three people like? Why is it so famous? Let me explain them one by one.
The three Song sisters are not like some friends who think they are just the same clan surnames, they come from the Song family. I have even heard friends say that a few people are just cousins. What I want to say here is that these three people are all sisters of the same father and mother. The father of these three people was Song Jiashu, a well-known entrepreneur during the Ming Dynasty.
Song Jiashu, with the word Yaoru
Song Jiashu has strong financial resources and is the financial pillar of Sun Yat-sen's early revolutionary cause. It can be said that most of the financial resources of Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary cause are backed by him. With this relationship with Sun Yat-sen, it can be said that he was very successful in economics and politics at that time, and the facts are also true. Because of his father's economic and political background at the time, the husbands of the three daughters were all prominent figures in the Ming Dynasty.
Big sister Song Ailing married Kong Xiangxi; second sister Song Qingling married Sun Yat-sen; younger sister Song Meiling married Chiang Kai-shek.
Song Qingling and Sun Yat-sen
Song Meiling and Chiang Kai-shek
Of course, Sun Zhongshan and Chiang Kai-shek need not be introduced. One is the highest founding father. Commander. Because of their political status, Soong Ching Ling and Soong Mei Ling are more recognized by the world than their eldest sister Song Ai Ling.
But Song Ailing's husband, Kong Xiangxi, was not an unknown person. Kong Xiangxi was a famous banker and businessman at the time, in other words, he was very rich. During the period of the Republic of China, serving as Minister of Administration and Finance Minister of the Nanjing Government not only reformed the Chinese currency system, but also became one of the perfectors of the Bank of China.
孔祥熙
The husbands of the three sisters, without exception, were people of high status at the time. The reason why the three sisters are so famous is that they are indispensable for their glorious deeds, but the main reason is It's still here.
The Three Sisters’ "Parting Ways"
There was an old saying about the four major families in charge of China’s political economy at that time: Jiang Jiatianxia Chen Jiadang, Song Jiacai sister Kong Jiacai .
Originally through the marriage of the three sisters, not only can these families better consolidate their status and deepen their ties, but also logically there is no conflict. It's a good thing for the family. But in fact, the three sisters went farther and farther later, and in the end they quarreled so much that they didn't meet each other.
The relationship between the three Song sisters is cooling down, and we have to start with marriage...
When the second sister Song Meiling was going to marry Sun Yat-sen, the Song family strongly opposed it, let alone other reasons. Sun Yat-sen's age can be Soong Ching Ling's dad, and the eldest sister Song Ai Ling is also on the side of opposition. Although Soong Ching Ling might not say anything at the time, she was also panicked. Fortunately, the younger sister Song Meiling supported her sister Soong Ching Ling.
But a dramatic scene appeared. When it was learned that the younger sister Song Meiling was going to marry Chiang Kai-shek, Song Meiling strongly opposedCorrect. As Song Meiling who once supported her sister but couldn't get her sister's support, she is also very uncomfortable in her heart. However, this kind of thing will not cause the sisters to break up, but it can be seen as the beginning of the sisterhood to cool down!
The rupture of political disharmony
In March 1925, Sun Yat-sen died, Chiang Kai-shek became his successor, and gradually exposed his dictatorship ambitions. In the end, Chiang Kai-shek publicly opposed The communists carried out bloody suppression and killing. His Three People's Principles were completely contrary to Sun Yat-sen's Three People's Principles, and naturally met with strong opposition from Soong Ching-ling, and Song Ailing as the eldest sister and Song Meiling as the younger sister were naturally on the side of Chiang Kai-shek.
As Sun Yat-sen's wife, Soong Ching Ling still speaks a little weighty. In order to oppose Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Ching Ling criticized Chiang Kai-shek several times to the whole country, which aroused dissatisfaction, including Chiang Kai-shek and his sisters. By this time, it can be said that Soong Ching Ling and his sisters and sisters have reached the point where they no longer talk to each other and tear their faces.
So far, Soong Ching Ling has resolutely devoted himself to the revolutionary cause of resisting Chiang Kai-shek for the lost Sun Yat-sen, and Soong Meiling, for her husband Chiang Kai-shek's dominance, is fully committed. Diplomat. As the eldest sister, Song Ailing, in fact, there was not much conflict between the three sisters. The most important thing is Song Qingling and Soong Meiling.
Sisters’ affection, lotus roots are broken
Although Soong Ching Ling and Soong Meiling are at the point where they can’t talk because of their political disagreements, it can be seen from some aspects that the two sisters are broken...
At the beginning, Chiang Kai-shek was very annoyed by Soong Ching-ling's criticism at home and abroad, and even arranged for Dai Li to get rid of Soong Ching-ling. But not only did Dai Li dare not do anything, Chiang Kai-shek had to give up in the end because of Song Meiling's prevention. It can be seen that, at least, Song Meiling knows that this is her sister!
After the founding of New China, the two are even more separate. In contrast, Soong Ching Ling, knowing that his body is no longer good, also asked someone to send a message to Song Mei Ling, I hope to see you This sister who hasn't seen in decades. But Song Meiling did not agree to this request. In 1981, Soong Ching Ling failed to leave the world as she wished. After learning the news of Soong Ching Ling's death, Soong Mei Ling took out a photo of the three sisters 60 years ago, and tears could not help falling...
From the previous kiss Sister, afterwards, I really didn't get along with each other...how many sadnesses and stories in this are actually not what we can imagine.
