But in fact, Soong Meiling is not the only wife of Chiang Kai-shek . He had four wives in his life, and Soong Meiling is the fourth, and the one we are most familiar with. His first three wives are: Mao Fumei, Yao Yecheng and Chen Jieru .
Let's talk about Chiang Kai-shek's first wife, Mao Fumei.
Mao Fumei was born in 1882, 5 years older than Chiang Kai-shek. She married Chiang Kai-shek in an arranged marriage by her parents. When the two got married, Mao Fumei was 19 years old and Chiang Kai-shek was 14 years old. Although it was a marriage arranged by her parents, Mao Fumei's family background should not be underestimated. She is also an eldest young lady born in a prestigious family, and her family has cultivated her according to the standard of virtue and virtue since she was a child.
Before marriage, the two had no emotional foundation. After marriage, Chiang Kai-shek was not satisfied with this wife. Fortunately, her filial piety was seen by Chiang Kai-shek. Also gave birth to Chiang Kai-shek's eldest son Chiang Ching-kuo . When his son Chiang Ching-kuo was born, Chiang Kai-shek was still studying in Japan. Without the help of his husband, Mao Fumei raised his son alone.
In addition to Chiang Ching-kuo, Chiang Kai-shek has another son Chiang Wei-kuo . Unlike Chiang Ching-kuo, Chiang Wei-kuo is just an adopted son adopted by others. He was raised by Chiang Kai-shek's second wife, Yao Yecheng.
The second wife, Yao Yecheng
Yao came from a poor family,It has also fallen into the fireworks alley. The encounter between them will also start from the first time Chiang Kai-shek is chased by the enemy. Yao Yecheng has saved Chiang Kai-shek's life.
and Yao Yecheng are already good-looking, and the two soon lived together. However, Yao Yecheng, who was born in Fireworks Lane, was not the wife that Chiang Kai-shek was marrying, and in the end he could not grow old with Chiang Kai-shek.
The third wife, Chen Jieru
The two met at Zhang Jingchu's house, Chen Jieru and Zhang Jingchu's wife were classmates, and were invited to the house that day, where Chiang Kai-shek was more Smart, beautiful, and proficient in Russian, Chen Jieru was deeply attracted, and immediately began to pursue fiercely.
But Chen Jieru was only fourteen or five years old at that time, and Chiang Kai-shek was already in his thirties. Although old couples and young wives were not unusual at the time, Chen Jieru's parents did not sacrifice their daughter's happiness to cling to the powerful. 's parents. In the face of Chiang Kai-shek's marriage proposal, the Chen family's parents rejected Chiang Kai-shek on the grounds that their daughter was still young and ignorant. How did the two get together after that?
The turning point of this matter happened after Chen Jieru's father passed away. Without his father as the pillar of the family, the life of the Chen family was not as good as before. Chiang Kai-shek, who knew the news, came to propose marriage again, and only the old lady of the Chen family, who was an orphan and widowed mother, could only agree to this marriage for the sake of her daughter's future. And Chiang Kai-shek, who finally embraced the beauty, also loves this little wife very much, and the two were very affectionate after marriage.
But after all, man's fascination is born, let alone Chiang Kai-shek, who has power and status. In 1927, in order to seize higher power, Chiang Kai-shek officially divorced his original wife Mao Fumei and married the first lady Song Meiling.
Fourth wife,Soong Meiling
It is worth mentioning that even though Chiang Kai-shek has been married three times, the only official wives are his first wives Mao Fumei and Soong Meiling, because Chiang Kai-shek is a very dutiful son, and his mother will not allow him to divorce when he is still alive , so he and Mao Fumei have always maintained a nominal marriage relationship.
Soong Mei-ling at that time could speak six languages, and was proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was so excellent that she became Chiang Kai-shek's personal assistant under the introduction of a friend. Chiang Kai-shek also fell in love with the family strength behind the Song family and Song Meiling's background in studying in the United States. After marriage, he also became active in politics, diplomacy and other fields with the help of Song Meiling. Since then, the two have also left behind in modern Chinese history. Lots of stories.
Although Chiang Kai-shek had four women in his life, he still had only one son with his first wife, Mao Fumei, and an adopted son raised with his second wife. Maybe this is his destiny.
