In 1964, after seeing a photo, Chiang Kai-shek burst into tears and said: I am not as broad-minded as Mao Zedong! What kind of photo was that that made Chiang Kai-shek filled with emotion?
Time goes back to 1949. After Chiang Kai-shek stepped down for the third time, he returned to Fenghua Xikou to worship his mother. Looking at his mother's tomb, Chiang Kai-shek was moved by the scene and filled with emotion! Looking at a large stretch of great rivers and mountains, it used to be so familiar, but now it is so strange. Familiar because he is extremely familiar with every plant and tree here. It used to be the place where he was born and raised; strange because he wants to leave here immediately. I miss my homeland and my mother day and night, but I don’t know when I can come back to pay homage to my mother?
In December 1949, as the Second Field Army commanded by Liu Deng liberated the southwest and invaded Kunming, the Jiang family and his son fled the mainland on the "Meiling" special plane. Chiang Kai-shek reluctantly looked at the mainland for the last time through the plane window. He I know that after leaving the mainland this time, I don’t know when I can come back again? Although the Kuomintang troops occupied some coastal islands in Zhejiang and Fujian in the 1950s, the homesick old Chiang Kai-shek also boarded these islands and looked at his mainland homeland through telescopes, but the emotion of not being able to love tormented old Chiang! He said to Chiang Ching-kuo many times: After I die, bury me next to your grandmother!
Chairman Mao actually ordered the protection of the tomb of old Chiang Kai-shek
Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Taiwan, was very worried about his ancestral graves being dug up, because in the 1930s he ordered the Chairman of Hunan Province, the He family, to send people to dig up the Mao family's ancestral graves many times. After all, others were digging up the ancestral graves. The ancestral graves of the family are very immoral. Old Jiang thought that Chairman Mao would dig up the ancestral graves of the Jiang family like he did! As a result, when Chiang Ching-kuo showed Chiang Kai-shek a photo in the 1960s, Chiang Kai-shek burst into tears after seeing it.
What kind of photo made Chiang Kai-shek so emotional? This is a photo of Chiang’s mother’s tomb. In the photo, Chiang’s mother’s tomb is kept intact! Jiang Jingguo continued to add: It was Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai who personally ordered the protection of their grandmother’s tomb so that no one would destroy it! Lao Jiang said with emotion: I am not as big-hearted as Mao Zedong!
Chiang Ching-kuo continued to report to Chiang Kai-shek: The Soviet Union withdrew all its aid experts. This time the CCP was unable to atomic bomb . It seems that this time they severely defeated Mao Zedong's army! But Chiang Kai-shek responded: They want to curb Mao Zedong from developing and testing atomic bombs, but they don’t understand Mao Zedong very well!
Lao Jiang recalled: Mao Zedong’s willpower was very terrifying, incomparable to ordinary people! It was during the negotiation of in Chongqing of . He was addicted to smoking and smoked almost every day. But I don't smoke. In order to consider my feelings, he didn't even smoke a cigarette during the negotiation! Mao Zedong's willpower and self-control are unmatched by ordinary people. Therefore, the Soviet Union's attempt to remove all experts will not work. They think they can control Mao Zedong, but they have no understanding of Mao Zedong's talents and strategies!
When Lop Nur there was a loud noise, and the pieces of mushroom clouds were shocked. When Lao Jiang heard the news, he said three good things in a row!
In fact, Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong were kind of like heroes. They admired each other, but because of their different paths and beliefs, they became lifelong enemies! But history always moves forward according to the law that long-lasting unity must divide, and long-term division must unite. In the late 1960s, Chairman Mao once asked the elders of the Kuomintang to go to Hong Kong and Taiwan to bring a personal letter to Chiang Kai-shek - inviting Chiang Kai-shek to return to his hometown in Zhejiang to visit relatives and worship his ancestors. It is said that after reading the letter, Chiang Kai-shek fell silent and thought for a long time. , and after a long time, Chiang Kai-shek finally said three words - Got it.
It is not difficult to find from Chiang Kai-shek's diary: Although Chiang Kai-shek hesitated again and again at that time, he was still moved! But later, as the domestic situation further complicated, Chiang Kai-shek's wish to go to his hometown in Zhejiang to worship his ancestors was put on hold. Until the moment when Chiang Kai-shek died, he never forgot to go back to his hometown in Xikou, Fenghua to take a look! After Lao Jiang passed away, he left his last words to Jiang Ching-kuo: I hope he can be buried next to his mother in a hundred years! Unexpectedly, Chiang Ching-kuo did not fulfill Chiang Kai-shek’s last wish before his death!
When the news of Chiang Kai-shek's death reached Beijing, the staff around Chairman Mao told the Chairman this important news, thinking that the Chairman would be very happy and excited. However, what was unexpected was that after the Chairman heard the news, the Chairman put down his book and paused. After a long while, I smoked a cigarette that I had quit smoking for a long time with a sad look (Chairman Mao had quit smoking for more than 40 years due to physical reasons), and slowly said three words - Got it.
Chairman Mao and Chiang Kai-shek have a feeling that heroes cherish heroes. The first time the two met was at the National Congress of the Kuomintang in Guangzhou in 1924. At this time, the two of them may not have thought that they would become lifelong enemies and fight for a lifetime.
During the Great Revolution and the Anti-Japanese War, they stood in the same trench because of the common enemy. Later, because of their different revolutionary beliefs, they carried out ten years of Agrarian Revolution and Liberation War. In his later years, Chiang Kai-shek said more than once: He admired Mao Zedong the most in his life. ! I would also like to thank Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai. If they had not ignored the past, both Jiang Jingguo and I would have died. What is going on?
It turns out that in the Xi'an Incident, if Chairman Mao and Zhou Enlai had not intervened and stood at the height of the danger of the country and the nation, and used emotion and reason to persuade the two generals Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng, I am afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would have died. , from this point of view, Lao Jiang was very grateful to Mao Zhougong for his life-saving grace! Chiang Kai-shek escaped and returned to Nanjing, but Chiang Kai-shek (Chiang Ching-kuo) still stayed in the Soviet Union, and Chiang Kai-shek was still worried!
In August 1937, the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was formally formed. During this period, in order to facilitate communication with the upper echelons of the Kuomintang, Vice Chairman Zhou traveled among the upper echelons of the Kuomintang. On this day, Chiang Kai-shek invited Zhou Enlai to his villa in West Lake, Hangzhou. On the one hand, he thanked Zhou Enlai for his help in the "Xi'an Incident", and on the other hand, he asked Mao Zedong to do him a "little favor" - to come forward to talk to the Soviet Union. He negotiated and asked the Soviet Union to release his only son, Chiang Ching-kuo.
It turned out that during the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, in response to the new Three People's Principles proposed by "Father of the Nation" Sun Yat-sen, "Unite Russia, unite the Communist Party, and unite the workers and peasants", Chiang Kai-shek sent the young Chiang Ching-kuo to study in the Soviet Union. When the April 12 counter-revolution broke out, Chiang Ching-kuo decisively severed the father-son relationship with Chiang Kai-shek. However, the Soviets did not think so. They thought that you, Chiang Ching-kuo, must have worn the same pants as your father, so they drove little Chiang to the cold Siberia to work as a miner and Shop workers. Xiao Jiang also got a blessing in disguise and married a beautiful Soviet girl. This is of course a story for another day! Because Chiang Kai-shek was firm in his anti-communist stance, the Soviet Union also completely blocked information about Chiang Ching-kuo.
Until 1937, Chiang Kai-shek only knew that Chiang Ching-kuo was stranded in the Soviet Union, but did not know where exactly Chiang Ching-kuo was in the Soviet Union? For this reason, he specifically asked Zhou Enlai to find out where Chiang Ching-kuo was? He also asked Zhou Enlai to negotiate with the Soviet Union to extradite Chiang Ching-kuo back to China. After Zhou En arrived at the Eighth Route Army Office, he immediately sent a telegram to the Central Committee. After Chairman Mao learned of the news, he sent a telegram to the Communist International, asking them to use all their connections to find Chiang Ching-kuo. With the efforts of Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, Chiang Ching-kuo and his wife returned to China smoothly!
Therefore, in his later years, Chiang Kai-shek meaningfully said to Chiang Ching-kuo: Without the great help of Mao Zedong, our father and son might have died unexpectedly! In his later years, Chiang Kai-shek especially hoped that he could return to his roots and be buried next to his mother at Xikou, Fenghua.
Youdao came sooner rather than later. In 1973, Chairman Mao entrusted Zhang Shizhao, a veteran of the Kuomintang, to fly back to Taiwan with his autographed letter from Hong Kong. Zhang Shizhao was already 92 years old at the time and could not withstand the rush of carriages and horses, so he found his confidants and sent Chairman Mao's autographed letter to Chiang Kai-shek. Chairman Mao wrote in the letter: If Mr. Chiang hopes to return to his hometown for retirement, we can give Lushan Mountain to Mr. Chiang for retirement! Mr. Jiang can choose to be buried in his hometown after his death! Chairman Mao's majestic sincerity once again touched Chiang Kai-shek.
Later, with Chiang Kai-shek's death on April 5, 1975, Chiang Kai-shek's wish to return to his roots came to an end silently. Until the moment of his death, Chiang Ching-kuo did not fulfill his father's last wish! Not only that, the Jiang family and his son have not been buried yet, and it is very sad to be buried in peace.
