Chiang Kai-shek After retreating to Taiwan, he also lost the rule of the mainland, and his descendants gradually separated from the political core, and now they are the fourth generation of the Chiang family. As the fourth generation of the Chiang family, Chiang Kai-shek’s great-grandson Jiang Youbai once issued this statement: "The Chiang family will not rise politically again."
He did not enter politics or participate Election, but to establish a company, dedicated to spreading Chinese traditional culture, and come to China to worship ancestors and start a company. So the question is, the Chiang family is very powerful in Taiwan, why are the descendants of the Chiang family reluctant to enter politics?
Jiang Youbai
Because it is classified as the fourth generation, it always attracts the attention of all parties
Jiang Youbai is one of the eight fourth generation of Jiang family. He established his own design company at a young age. He looks handsome and handsome, and looks like a star. His photos will be published in two newspaper sections, one is entertainment headlines and the other is political headlines. His appearance and company have attracted the attention of the entertainment sector, and he was born into a political wealthy aristocrat, and he has received attention from various parties in Taiwan. It can be said that Jiang Youbai is a rare celebrity, but he himself refuses the title of politics, and refuses to be called Jiang Sidai.
Why the people are willing to call him the fourth generation of Chiang, the reason is very simple, because his great grandfather Chiang Kai-shek and grandfather Jiang Jingguo . In the modern history of the Chinese nation, the appearance rate of these two people is very high. It is no exaggeration to say that the development trajectory of the modern history of the Chinese nation is closely related to the leadership decisions of the Jiang family.
Chiang Kai-shek
The Kuomintang led by Chiang Kai-shek represents the interests of the big bourgeoisie and landlord class. This is destined to be unpopular and will eventually defeat and retreat to Taiwan. Chiang Ching-kuo has been in power in Taiwan for decades. For the people of Taiwan, the Chiang family is the largest political force in Taiwan.
After Jiang Jingguo's death in 1988, the Jiang family got rid of political factors and moved to Canada to live. Jiang Youbai also came to a foreign country with his family.The Jiang family left the political core circle of Taiwan Province, but Jiang Youbai did grow up in Taiwan, and his identity as a Chinese has never been forgotten. After he became an adult, Jiang Youbai returned to Taiwan to do business, and he completely regarded himself as an ordinary person when he founded a company. But people's attention to Jiang Youbai is more focused on his family identity.
Jiang Youbai
Jiang Youbai also used his reputation to register his name as a brand, and also registered as a trademark to establish an investment service company to publicize the traditional Chinese culture. He did not reject his fame, but he rejected his being attributed to politics, the political title attributed to the four generations of the Jiang family. He was very confident and threatened that the Jiang family would rise again, but not politically.
It is not just Jiang Youbai, but other tribesmen who are the fourth generation of Jiang also announced that the Jiang family will no longer be in politics since the fourth generation of descendants. Why are the descendants of the Jiang family reluctant to enter politics?
Subjective reasons are inconvenient to guess, after all, everyone has their own ambitions. The objective reasons can be sorted out slowly. After all, modern history is clearly in front of our eyes. The reason why the descendants of the Jiang family are unwilling to enter politics must start with Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek and Soong May-ling
Starting from Chiang Kai-shek, the people opposed the Chiang family rule
During the Republic of China, after the coup in Shanghai, Chiang Kai-shek married Soong May-ling and the Chiang family's dynasty was established. Soong Meiling's family and power greatly increased the power of Chiang Kai-shek, who was born in revolution, and soon became the leader of the Kuomintang. The subsequent Liberation War ended with Chiang Kai-shek's defeat. The reason for Chiang Kai-shek's failure was also very simple. The most important point was that it was unpopular.
However, as one of the four major families in the Republic of China, the Chiang family raided a large amount of property and capital. After arriving in Taiwan, it became the largest party in Taiwan Province.
Chiang Ching-kuo
Chiang Ching-kuo is the son of Chiang Kai-shek, born to Chiang Kai-shek and his first wife, and he has high hopes. After Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling got married, they had no children. In terms of support within the family, everyone also cultivated Chiang Ching-kuo as the successor of the Kuomintang. During the Kuomintang’s mainland rule, he was also appointed as a commissioner to rectify corruption,But nothing more.
After retreating to the mainland, Chiang Ching-kuo gradually stabilized the situation in Taiwan, facing China across the sea. It can be said that the Chiang Kai-shek father and son were the first and second generations of the Chiang family, and they did not engage in political division. After all, as citizens of the Chinese nation, they don't want to be sinners who split the motherland.
Chiang Kai-shek
However, the first two generations of the Chiang family did not play a positive role in the unification of China. On the contrary, they caused many historical problems. The political situation was also dominated by the United States. This is also the source of Taiwan's political chaos. After Chiang Kai-shek retired to Taiwan, the Kuomintang and the aborigines of Taiwan were also full of contradictions. The aborigines of Taiwan and various organizations also formed various parties, and the influence of the Kuomintang declined. In the end, the Kuomintang did not have too many ties with the Jiang family.
After the death of Jiang Jingguo, the third and fourth generations of the Jiang family left Taiwan and went to Canada. This is suspected of political asylum, but it is more that the result of the Jiang family’s administration in power has not been recognized by the people. Needless to say, Chiang Kai-shek's interests represented the power of a large family, which was contrary to the demands of the people, so he was defeated in the War of Liberation. After Chiang Ching-kuo arrived in Taiwan, he also became the spokesperson of the United States in Taiwan, and the military government was very strong. After the deaths of Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo, the Chiang family no longer has political appeal, and it is inevitable to be separated from the political core.
Jiang Jingguo
And before his death, Jiang Jingguo had already announced to the public that the Chiang family did not engage in a hereditary regime and did not allow their children to hold important government positions. On the contrary, the leaders of the party also arranged for others to take over. But politics is risky. The Jiang family, who has received foreign education and was influenced by foreign democratic ideas, is not a traditional feudal party in the family world. Making such a choice is also a sign of progress.
Leave the political core completely, the descendants of the Jiang family are relaxed
The Jiang family has reached the fourth generation, that is, the friends of the family have publicly stated that they will not enter politics. For the first and second generations of the Jiang family, they are regarded as great men, but they resolutely refused "The fourth generation of Jiang's fourth political generation" is such an appellation. Although the Jiang family still has three generations of descendants holding party positions, they have long lost the influence of the first and second generations of the Jiang family. It can be said that the "Jiang Dynasty" has already withdrawn from the political arena.Looking back at the mainland from the Jiang family, the situation is even more so.
Sun Yat-sen
To trace the course of my country’s democratic revolution, through the two democratic revolutions led by Sun Yat-sen, the most successful thing was to eradicate the remaining feudal ideas in the hearts of the people, and let the concept of democratic republic affect generations and generations. For a generation, mainland China did not have such a remnant of hereditary inheritance, and even Taiwan Province did not engage in feudal hereditary inheritance.
In 2003, Chiang Kai-shek's wife, Soong Meiling, passed away and quietly bid farewell to the political and historical stage. As one of the most influential political figures in modern Chinese history, he has received condolences and commemorations from Chinese and overseas Chinese around the world. The Jiang family chose the wrong direction and did not represent the interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, so political decline is inevitable. The fourth generation of the Jiang family also came out of the trough of the family's decline, did not participate in politics, and did not directly benefit from politics. But under the aura of the Jiang family dynasty, doing business has also attracted much attention.
Song Meiling
This is the reason why the descendants of the Jiang family are unwilling to enter politics, and there are other reasons as well. At present, peace and development are the mainstream of the times, and the rapid rise of mainland China's economy is inevitable to catch up with the United States. As Taiwan Province, sandwiched between China and the United States, its status is embarrassing, and it has always existed as a battlefield in the game between China and the United States. As far as Taiwan's political situation is concerned, it belongs to the vortex of international wrestling, and even a little careless decision will become a sinner of the Chinese nation.
Only when the Jiang family formally withdraw from the stage of history and stay away from the political vortex, will they have better development opportunities. There is no life-and-death contradiction and hatred between the two sides of the strait, but the current global political environment puts Taiwan in an awkward position of wrestling. It was precisely seeing this situation that descendants of the Jiang family decisively left the political circle.
Jiang Youbai
Jiang Youbai, the fourth generation of the Jiang family, who has gotten rid of his political identity, can freely go between the two sides of the strait, and also established a company in Shanghai, China, to be a patriotic and law-abiding Chinese citizen. Jiang Youbai set foot in the business world and quickly made his first pot of gold through the real estate business. Now he is only interested in doing business.
Jiang’s family will eventually become history, and history is always moving forward
Jiang Youbai was born in a wealthy courtyard,Childhood can be regarded as a noble son of a powerful family in Taiwan. He also had a "presidential dream" when he was young. Moreover, with the political accumulation of the Jiang family, it is perfectly acceptable for the descendants of the Jiang family to continue to participate in politics. After all, the Jiang family is also a visitor, coming in and out The people in the family are all influential figures of the authorities. For modern history, for Jiang Youbai, this is all his own family affair, which can be said to be easy to come by.
Jiang Youbai
But Jiang Jingguo's death gave Jiang Youbai a deep understanding of the coldness of politics and the lack of human affection. For politicians, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. If the interests are contradictory, frequent visitors will instantly become enemies. Failure to do business is bankruptcy at best; failure in politics means depression and even risk of death in jail.
Jiang is the surname. For Jiang Youbai, different groups have different perceptions. The mainland people define the Jiang family as a reactionary, the Taiwan people regard the Jiang family as an outsider, and for the United States, they use the Jiang family as a tool to interfere with China. If there is no such political meaning, the Jiang family is part of the Chinese nation, and Jiang Youbai hopes that he is like an ordinary family in China, without too much political overtones, and living in a steady and low-key manner.
Jiang Youbai
In order to get rid of this political color, Jiang's descendants had to leave Taiwan with the whole family. Jiang Youbai came to Canada to start from scratch in a brand new environment. For the descendants of the Jiang family, the Jiang family name is heavy, with a political aura and a celebrity aura, and any excessive actions by himself will be magnified by the media.
Jiang Youbai has a star-like appearance because of his business, and even comes with his own internet celebrity halo. But now Jiang Youbai is the father of two children and does not want to be paid too much attention by the media. The other descendants of the Jiang family are also very low-key, and most of them have immigrated overseas.
The ups and downs of the Jiang family in mainland China and Taiwan are like the ups and downs of the development of China’s modernization. The interest groups represented by the Kuomintang are destined to be resisted by the modern democratic process, and often this Group interests are not controlled by one or two families. This is how history is always moving forward, and the course of development is not stopped because of certain people or groups.
