On April 5, 1975, , Soong Meiling 's loud wails announced that the evil-doing Chiang Kai-shek had reached the end of his life.
Chiang Kai-shek
As the son of Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Ching-kuo personally put on seven pairs of trousers and seven pieces of underwear for Chiang Kai-shek on the eve of his coffin being moved to Cihu .
This is a rural example, but Chiang Kai-shek only fulfilled half of the "rules" regarding death.
The Chinese are very particular about "laying in peace", but Chiang Kai-shek personally ordered his body to be embalmed, and the four corners of the coffin were raised three inches off the ground, in order to allow Chiang Ching-kuo to realize his dream of "counterattacking the mainland". Let yourself return to your roots and be buried on the mainland.
Unfortunately, what was waiting for Chiang Kai-shek was not the fulfillment of his wish, but the news of Chiang Ching-kuo's death on January 13, 1988.
Chiang Ching-kuo
The "Two Chiangs" have both passed away, and the "Chiang Dynasty" has collapsed, Jiang Xiaoyong How can he propose to let the "Two Chiangs" return to their roots on the land where Chiang Kai-shek once single-handedly created a desolate life? Facing what Jiang Xiaoyong did, how did the masses react?
The crimes are too numerous to describe.
In the history of the development of the Chinese nation, Chiang Kai-shek is truly a well-deserved sinner.
In 1927, it was Chiang Kai-shek who launched a counter-revolutionary coup in Shanghai, which destroyed the first cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and massacred countless Communists and patriots who had resisted Japan and saved the country.
After the September 18th Incident in 1931, in the face of the Japanese army's wanton actions, Chiang Kai-shek still took advantage of the situation and insisted on the erroneous decision of "to fight against foreign forces, we must first pacify the interior" , and "encircled and suppressed" the Red Army who advocated resisting Japan and saving the nation.
Chiang Kai-shek
In 1938, because of Chiang Kai-shek's order, the Yellow River embankment was blown up, and 890,000 innocent people were drowned.
After Japan surrendered, Chairman Mao went to Chongqing to negotiate in person on August 28, 1945. This fully demonstrated the Communist Party's desire for peace, but Chiang Kai-shek tore up the Double Ten Agreement and deliberately launched civil war. , causing a large number of casualties on both sides.
Ordinary people in China live in anxiety all day long because of Chiang Kai-shek's own ambitions, and the losses caused are immeasurable.
A villain's heart can never be refined. , the unpopular Chiang Kai-shek also ushered in the final outcome with failure.
Chiang Kai-shek
The People's Republic of China was founded on October 1, 1949. In December of the same year, Chiang Kai-shek, who knew the situation was over, retreated to Taiwan. After
arrived in Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek's desire to counterattack the mainland remained undying. Instead, launched a "personality cult" in Taiwan, which caused the delay in the reunification of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
The culprit of all this, Chiang Kai-shek, always pretended to be the victim, built mansions, lived a luxurious life, and was accompanied by a motorcade whenever he traveled.
In 1960, Chiang Kai-shek and his party were going to Fuxing Township, Taoyuan County, but halfway there, Chiang Kai-shek was confused by the "flowers" and forgot what he originally wanted to do.
What "stumped Chiang Kai-shek" was a little-known town.
Chiang Kai-shek
Chiang Kai-shek's emergency call to stop caught the driver off guard. The vehicle behind him even almost hit Chiang Kai-shek's special car. However, Chiang Kai-shek, who was used to being a chicken, did not care "as if he had seen a ghost" and quickly got out of the car, greedily breathing in the air. .
At that moment, Chiang Kai-shek felt as if he had returned to his hometown in Xikou .
Chiang Kai-shek had a deep attachment to his hometown.
With public dissatisfaction and civil strife intensifying, Chiang Kai-shek, who was considering "retiring", embarked on a journey back to Xikou on January 21, 1949.
On the night he arrived at Xikou, Chiang Kai-shek stayed at Ci'an where his mother's cemetery is located. When he left on April 25, he also took Chiang Ching-kuo up Baiyan Mountain to say goodbye to his biological mother who was buried underground.
Chiang Kai-shek
And this became the last fate between Chiang Kai-shek and Xikou.
After his defeat in Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek missed his mother and his homeland, but he "forgot" All this turmoil was his own "blessing".
What surprised Chiang Kai-shek was that he found a "high imitation" of his hometown in Taiwan, so he made an emergency stop while the motorcade was driving.
"What is this place?"
Chiang Kai-shek asked the people around him.
"Daxi Town, Taoyuan County". People around
also responded quickly.
The more Chiang Kai-shek looked at it, the more he felt that this place resembled the scenery of his hometown, so he ordered it to be renamed "Cihu" and intended to transform it into an emergency evacuation site during wartime.
Cihu Mausoleum
And this is another trick of Chiang Kai-shek.
After his defeat in Taiwan, what Chiang Kai-shek always wanted was "separation". He just wanted to avenge his past humiliation and "counterattack and restore the country."
When entering the 1960s, the mainland suffered a serious natural disaster , and the national economy suffered a huge test.
But Chiang Kai-shek felt that this was a God-given opportunity and was ready to counterattack at any time. In order to ensure his own safety, Chiang Kai-shek decided to find a temporary evacuation point.
But no one among the "supporters" around him reminded him that the so-called "counterattack" was just a dream that could be shattered immediately.
The oil burnt out after the accident
On October 25, 1971, China returned to the United Nations with 76 votes in favor, and the Taiwan representative was immediately removed from the United Nations' affiliated agencies.
Qiao's smile
Qiao's smile represents the mood of all Chinese people, but Chiang Kai-shek is exactly the opposite, and his mood fell into extreme depression.
But this is just the beginning.
In February 1972, U.S. President Nixon visited China, and the "long-standing grievances" between China and the United States were normalized. In September of the same year, Kakuei Tanaka did not hesitate to "break with Taiwan" at the expense of "breaking with Taiwan" and also wanted to attack the mainland. Make a friendly visit.
Chiang Kai-shek's beliefs and objects of reliance collapsed one by one, but misfortunes never come singly, and his body also turned on a red light.
In the 1960s, Chiang Kai-shek began to have difficulty with urinary catheterization. Later, he was diagnosed with prostatic hypertrophy and underwent surgery. However, due to the decline of his body function, Chiang Kai-shek's symptoms did not alleviate after the surgery. Instead, he turned into a serious illness, disturbing his heart every day.
Chiang Kai-shek
Once, Chiang Kai-shek was admitted to the hospital because a cold worsened into pneumonia. Because of the antibiotic antibodies, he had a high fever that would not go away, and he did not leave the hospital for a long time.
The great cause was not accomplished, but his body gradually collapsed. This made Chiang Kai-shek feel very depressed, so he wanted to go to the built Cihu to relax.
What Chiang Kai-shek never expected was that because of this decision, he encountered even "worse" things.
Chiang Kai-shek was in a car accident.
Chiang Kai-shek
When the motorcade was turning on Yangde Avenue, a car suddenly changed lanes and collided head-on with Chiang Kai-shek's car.
The huge impact pushed Chiang Kai-shek directly to the glass partition in front. He suffered internal trauma to his chest, causing the myocardium to expand, and he entered the countdown to life.
But even if his life was on the verge of death, when Chiang Kai-shek's consciousness was blurred, he still murmured "counterattack on the mainland."
This became Chiang Kai-shek's heartache, but based on such delusion, no one could cure Chiang Kai-shek.
How can darkness maintain light?
April 4, 1975, was the eve of Chiang Kai-shek's death. The deterioration of his condition made the Chiang family's attendants busy in and out, but the weather was not good, and it rained heavily.
The rain washed away the footprints left by all things, and also took away Chiang Kai-shek's life together with the disease.
As for Chiang Kai-shek's death, Chiang Ching-kuo discussed it with Soong Meiling as the eldest son. After all, the two of them knew Chiang Kai-shek's inner thoughts.
Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Meiling, and Chiang Ching-kuo (from left to right)
After a brief discussion, they decided to temporarily place Chiang Kai-shek's coffin on the bank of Cihu Lake. After the great cause of "recovering the mainland" is completed, it will be placed in Purple Mountain in Nanjing. can be regarded as the best of both worlds, completing Chiang Kai-shek's arrangement for his own resting place after death.
Chiang Kai-shek chose the cemetery for himself.
The first place is Xikou, Fenghua, his hometown. He spent his whole life working for the "great cause" in his heart and rarely stayed with his mother. Therefore, after his death, Chiang Kai-shek hoped that he could sleep beside his mother forever to fulfill his filial piety.
Wang Caiyu (middle)
The other place is Zhongshan Mausoleum.
When he was in Nanjing, Chiang Kai-shek visited Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum many times. Except for Chongqing, Nanjing was definitely a highlight during Chiang Kai-shek's "Southern Campaign and Northern War".
So before leaving the mainland, Chiang Kai-shek personally selected a geomantic treasure land at the southern foot of Zhongshan Mountain as his cemetery.
Moreover, Chiang Kai-shek also built a " Zhengqi Pavilion " on the cemetery he selected. He thought that he would be famous throughout the ages, but his countless evil deeds would only be infamous for thousands of years.
It was difficult for both Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Kai-shek to return home.
However, what Chiang Ching-kuo and Soong Meiling did was to achieve "the best of both worlds".
The picture comes from the Internet
As we all know, Cihu is a substitute for his hometown in Chiang Kai-shek's heart. Placing it here temporarily can be regarded as satisfying one of Chiang Kai-shek's cemetery choices. After the success of the "counterattack on the mainland", Chiang Kai-shek will The Purple Mountain located in Nanjing also satisfied the second one.
But it is impossible to "counterattack the mainland".
After taking office, Chiang Ching-kuo has been in poor health, and on January 13, 1988, he also passed away.
At the same time, Jiang Jingguo also made the same decision as his father, temporarily storing his body in the Touliao Hotel in Daxi Town, Taoyuan, looking forward to the day he could return home.
Chiang Ching-kuo
But who can we count on?
After the death of Chiang Ching-kuo, the "Chiang Dynasty" has collapsed in Taiwan's political arena. "Power" has been handed over to people. For the time being, the descendants of the Chiang family are also ridiculed.
Chiang Ching-kuo’s eldest son Jiang Xiaowen passed away in 1989 at the age of 54.
Chiang Xiaowen
andChiang Xiaoci and Jiang Xiaoyan Although the brothers successfully entered college and became influential figures in Taiwan Province, in 1994, Jiang Xiaoci suffered a sudden stroke, two years later. Then he passed away.
Although Jiang Xiaoyan is safe and healthy, because his mother's identity has never been recognized, it is naturally impossible to place hope on him to help the two Jiangs return home.
Jiang Xiaoyan and Jiang Xiaoci
and Jiang Xiaowen's Jiang Xiaowu, born to the same mother, passed away on July 1, 1991, although she had high hopes since she was a child.
Jiang Xiaowu
Among the six grandchildren, only Jiang Xiaoyong and Jiang Xiaogang are left.
But Jiang Xiaogang had lived abroad since he was a child. Not only did he rarely return to China, but his contact with the Jiang family was also very few and could not be counted on.
As the young grandson of Chiang Kai-shek, Jiang Xiaoyong has been deeply loved by Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Meiling since he was a child. He knew that except himself, no one else could fulfill the last wishes of his father and grandfather, so in the autumn of 1996, Jiang Xiaoyong decided to return to China.
After approval, Jiang Xiaoyong and his wife successfully embarked on their journey home under the title of "returning to their hometown to visit relatives."
Jiang Xiaoyong
However, sweeping the graves of his ancestors was not the main purpose of Jiang Xiaoyong's return to China. He set foot on the mainland just because he wanted to use public opinion to build momentum and let "the two Chiangs come home."
can be planned but cannot keep up with the variables.
Although he was the grandson of Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Xiaoyong had no say in politics. Although after returning to Taiwan, Chiang Xiaoyong applied to the Taiwan authorities to allow "the two Chiangs to return home," but was directly rejected.
In desperation, Jiang Xiaoyong could only sink his boat.
Jiang Xiaoyong and his wife
Because he is running out of time.
In 1996, Jiang Xiaoyong had been diagnosed with esophageal cancer. He was worried that he would not die soon, so he held a press conference with a haggard posture as if he was terminally ill.
"My grandfather and father specifically told me before my death that I must return my soul to my hometown and rest in peace. This is human nature and will never be changed."
Being tough didn't work, so Jiang Xiaoyong played the emotional card. Unfortunately, his punch hit the cotton.
Chiang Xiaoyong
No one can forgive sinners for history. What Chiang Kai-shek did in mainland China is a crime that is too numerous to mention. He wants to return to his hometown. So, because Chiang Kai-shek deliberately instigated the war and killed the soldiers and innocent people on the battlefield, they should what to do?
The dead cannot erase all sins. The past does not mean that they have been forgotten. It is an understatement to ignore the loyal souls and righteous bones that are hidden under the long river of history. , so Jiang Xiaoyong's "show of weakness" still did not get the desired effect, and he But he passed away on December 22, 1996.
After Jiang Xiaoyong's death, the matter of the "double Chiangs" returning to China did not stop there. His wife Jiang Fang Zhiyi continued to work on this matter, but it still had no effect.
Chiang Xiaoyong and his wife
Even on December 23, 2007, Taiwan expressed that it would "remove the sentry and seal the garden" of the "two mausoleums" in Cihu, Jiang Fangzhiyi also made it clear that he did not agree to move the remains of the two Chiangs to Wuzhi Mountain, and He insisted on taking him back to Fenghua, Zhejiang for burial, regardless of Chiang Kai-shek. Where will Chiang Kai-shek's body be finally buried?
He owes history an apology, and he also owes all Chinese people an apology.
The past cannot be forgotten, but it should be remembered by hundreds of millions. Our compatriots always wake up to safeguard the unity of the motherland and work hard for the peace and prosperity of the country and the people
.
