When it comes to Mr. Sun Yat-sen and Mr. Sun, I believe everyone is familiar with him. As a great pioneer of the democratic revolution, he has devoted himself to the revolutionary cause all his life. Mr. Sun's deeds can be said to be well-known, but not many people know about his son. In fact, Mr. Sun Yat-sen has 4 children in his life, including 3 daughters and 1 son.
Sun Ke was born in Guangdong in October 1891. As Mr. Sun's only son, Sun Ke has been highly expected since he was born. Sun Ke was born in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, Mr. Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary career was just beginning. Considering the safety of his family and in order to allow himself to devote himself to the revolutionary cause without any worries, Mr. Sun decided to send his family to the United States to live. is like this, Sun Ke, who is only 4 years old, traveled to Honolulu, USA with his family.
Sun Ke has been studying hard since childhood and has ranked among the best in school. A large part of the reason why he studied so hard is due to his father's advice and encouragement.
Although Sun Ke has not been by his father since childhood, Sun Yat-sen still has high expectations and requirements for this son. He often writes letters to his family overseas to ask about his recent situation. In order to encourage his son to study, he has also personally selected books to send them to Sun Ke many times. Sun Ke reads every book sent by his father very seriously.
Sun Ke has completed his bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree in the United States. In 1907, 16-year-old Sun Ke joined the Tongmenghui , founded by his father. He vowed to follow in his father's footsteps and carry the revolution to the end. Soon after, Sun Ke returned to China and began to assist his father in his work. In 1921, Guangzhou mayor was vacant. Liao Zhongkai suggested to Mr. Sun that Sun Ke would take this position. He believed that Sun Ke had studied municipal affairs when he was in the United States and had works on municipal planning, so it was very appropriate for him to serve as mayor.
Sun Yat-sen felt that he didn't think so. He believed that Sun Ke was still young and lacked relevant practical experience, so it was not enough to have theoretical knowledge. Later, after repeated persuasions from Liao Zhongkai and Hu Hanmin, Mr. Sun reluctantly agreed to let Sun Ke take this position . Many people believe that with Sun Ke's identity, he will naturally take over his father's position in the future. However, this is not the case in . Although Sun Ke's starting point is very high, his ability is not as strong as everyone thinks.
Sun Ke was influenced by his father since childhood and had a revolutionary heart early on. However, he grew up abroad since childhood. The information obtained from books for revolution and politics has not really entered it. Before returning to China, he was like a flower in a greenhouse, ignoring the world and having no intention. After returning to China, although he actively participated in the revolutionary cause, he was too immature and immature compared with other people who had been in the political arena for many years. Sun Yat-sen was not a nepotist. In the revolutionary cause, he never gave special care to his only son, so Sun Ke, who had mediocre ability, had to be an ordinary official.
1925, Sun Yat-sen died of illness, and Chiang Kai-shek took the lead. Although Sun Ke was unwilling to accept it, with his connections and political status at that time, he was really unable to compete with Chiang Kai-shek.
Under Lao Jiang's hands, Sun Ke did achieve some political achievements and his official position was also promoted again and again, but the good times did not last long. The roots of the "big tree" that Sun Ke relied on had rotten, and the "tree" was not far away.
In the late period of the Liberation War, Chiang Kai-shek, who had suffered a defeat in a row, knew that his situation was hopeless and began to plan to flee to Taiwan. 1949 Before leaving, Chiang Kai-shek specially invited Sun Ke to Taiwan with him, but Sun Ke refused.
Although Sun Ke's political talent is not as good as Lao Chiang, he is not stupid. The reason why Lao Chiang invited him to flee to Taiwan was not because he was so important and capable. Lao Chiang liked his identity as the "son of the founding father". If he really followed Lao Chiang to Taiwan, he might not have a better new life. Instead of relying on others' roofs and looking at people's faces, it is better to make a living by making a living. Sun Ke thought that after leaving Jiang Jiang, he would usher in a new life, but in fact, this is not the case.
Sun Ke, who was used to living in the eldest son's life, has never had the habit of saving money. Without a job, he naturally has no fixed source of living. In order to live with his wife, Sun Ke sold his domestic real estate to make up for the travel expenses.
In 1951, Sun Ke and his wife first came to France. After living in France for nearly a year, they moved to the United States, and spent almost all of his savings during this period. After coming to the United States, I barely survived by relying on my children's support.
Life embarrassment and mental pressure, Sun Ke had physical problems. At this time, he was eager to return to his country and to his relatives and friends. However, before liberation, Sun Ke refused very simply in the face of our party's invitation and was determined to go abroad, so he was a little embarrassed to go back to . Just when he was at a loss, Chiang Kai-shek once again threw an olive branch to him.
Faced with Lao Chiang's invitation again, Sun Ke no longer had his bold ambitions and concerns. What is "living under someone's roof" and "living on others' faces" are not as good as being unable to eat or poor. In foreign countries, he no longer wants to live a life of eating sweet potatoes every day, so this time Sun Ke agreed to Lao Chiang's invitation without hesitation.
In 1965, 74-year-old Sun Ke came to Taiwan from the United States. After living comfortably for 8 years, he died of illness in Taipei City.
