With the power of General Li Zongren, she has entered the political circle, is good at dancing, and finally became the president's wife! like and follow. Today, Sijidou will show you the legendary life of this lady!
Guo Dejie's real name is Guo Ruxian. He was born in Guiping County, Guangxi in 1906. Guo Ruxian's father Guo Liu is a local bricklayer. Guo Liu is a skilled person, smart and capable, and never cheats his fellow villagers. There are many people looking for him. Therefore, Guo Liu also set up a construction team, so Guo Ruxian's family background is pretty good.
Immortal Guo Ru is as famous as her name, looks outstanding, like a fairy, and is smart and has a strong goal. In that era when it was not yet separated from the feudal heritage, Guo Ruxian was an alternative. She never tangled her feet and had to go to a new school. These were all very difficult things for women at that time, but Guo Liu agreed under her scrupulous and hard work.
Guo Ruxian is strong by nature and has clear goals. She is unwilling to be an ordinary person. She must do something big in such an era!
Guo Ruxian studied at Guiping Girls' School. In terms of appearance, Guo Ruxian is the school beauty. In terms of grades, Guo Ruxian is among the top few in the school and is a veritable beauty academic master.
She actively participated in various student sports and led the alumni to stalk. Guo Ruxian must be the first person to walk in the team. Her active activities gave her an opportunity to rewrite her destiny.
1923, at this time, Li Zongren, 32, was already a famous general. He served as the brigade commander in the 7th Army of the National Revolutionary Army and was stationed in Guiping, Guangxi. He was highly prestigious and respected.
Once, Guo Ruxian led students to conduct a parade on the street. When he was seen by Li Zongren standing on the city gate tower, he was shocked. Li Zongren was moved by her extraordinary temperament and fell in love at first sight.
Not long after, Li Zongren went to Guiping Girls' School where Guo Ruxian attended the lecture and gave a lecture. At this time, Guo Ruxian gave a speech on the stage, with full of vigor and spirit. Li Zongren fell in love with him when he saw each other again.
Later, Li Zongren and Guo Ruxian met after being introduced by Guiping Water Police Department Director Guo Fenggang . After that, Li Zongren often asked Guo Ruxian for dinner, and the two got along very well.
Li Zongren is young and promising, has an extraordinary temperament, and is in a high position. He likes himself very much. Guo Ruxian realizes that his opportunity has come. Marrying an ordinary man, his life has ended at a glance, and the man in front of him is different. He has the opportunity to do something!
Therefore, Guo Ruxian naturally agreed to Li Zongren's appreciation of the marriage proposal.
The following year, Guo Ruxian, who was only 18 years old, married 33-year-old Li Zongren. On the wedding day, Li Zongren also renamed Guo Ruxian.
He thought "Confucianism" was too rustic and not suitable for being outside the market, so he moved out the character "de" (Li Zongren's character "Delin) in his name, added the character "jie" and gave it to his wife.
Since then, Guo Ruxian has called Guo Dejie, and Guo Dejie has taken the first critical step in her life: there is an upward ladder.
Guo Dejie married Li Zongren as a high marriage, but she did not give up her ambitions and indulge in extravagance. For her, this marriage was her first choice for realizing herself, and she had to rely on Li Zongren to realize her life value.
Guo Dejie is not like other official wives. He lives a life of luxury all day long. Guo Dejie is very motivated after marriage and continues to study and practice martial arts. In addition, Guo Dejie is very good at socializing and maintains good relationships with key figures in the military and political circles in Guangxi at that time.
Soon, Guo Dejie took advantage of Li Zongren's connections and his own abilities to be competent as the Kuomintang's Guangxi Supervisory Committee, and with his own strength, he was elected as the captain of the "Guangxi Women's Working Team of the Seventh Army of the National Revolutionary Army".
1926, the Northern Expedition War started, and Guo Dejie was even more inferior to men. He followed her husband Li Zongren to the battlefield in military uniform.On the day the troops set off, Guo Dejie, who led the women's work team to fight, rode on a war horse and pedaled with fighting boots. He was heroic and full of ambition.
There are even a huge crowd in Guiping City. People not only witness Li Zongren's heroic posture, but also many people come to see Guo Dejie's heroic posture.
On the battlefield of the Northern Expedition , the Seventh Army of the National Revolutionary Army led by Li Zongren charge forward, and Guo Dejie's wife's army was not behind. They shuttled through the forest of artillery and fired, transported ammunition, rescued the wounded, and provided sufficient support and support for the front line to charge. After the victory of the Northern Expedition, Jiang Kai-shek also commended Guo Dejie.

1937, Anti-Japanese War broke out, and the Japanese army bombed Guilin. For a time, mourning was everywhere, the people were displaced, and many children became orphans. At this time, Guo Dejie stepped forward, took out all his savings, raised funds in the society, prepared to build a welfare home, and took in more than 1,000 children.
Her motivation has received widespread support from all walks of life, and the famous democrat Li Jishen was deeply moved and wrote an inscription for her by himself: "The merits are more than Ju You". As a woman who has been influenced by the new learning era, Guo Dejie is well aware of the importance of education.
In order to solve the education problems of children in welfare homes, another school was established, called Dezhi Middle School, and he served as the principal personally to manage it. The school spirit is clean and the training of many talents.
Guo Dejie's practices not only have great social value, but also lay a good foundation for her husband's political future. Li Zongren attaches great importance to this wife.
1938, Li Zongren was appointed commander of the Fifth War Zone , commanding the Taierzhuang Battle, which had achieved major victories on the front battlefield of the Kuomintang since the War of Resistance Against Japan, and completely shattering the Japanese army's dream of "occupying China for three months".
, and Guo Dejie also rushed from Guangxi to Hebei front line, expressing deep condolences and encouragement to the front line soldiers.
1939, Li Zongren was ordered to go to Laohekou, Hubei, and Guo Dejie also followed him all the way. After arriving at Laohekou , Guo Dejie served as the Women's Director of the War Zone, responsible for propaganda and mobilizing local women to participate in the Anti-Japanese War. After
, Guo Dejie returned to Guiping and sent money and books to the county women's anti-enemy support club. Guo Dejie devoted all his strength to rush around for anti-Japanese and national salvation movement , with a great influence among the people, no less than Soong Mei-ling behind Chiang Kai-shek.
Guo Dejie has a long-term vision and a very high political acumen. Because Li Zongren had joined forces with Bai Chongxi and others to fight Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek had always had a grudge against him.
Guo Dejie understood that Chiang Kai-shek could not afford to offend, and he had to pull out the thorn that had been stabbed in Chiang Kai-shek's heart. She slowly approached Chiang Kai-shek's wife Soong Mei-ling, established a good relationship with her, and became a good friend who could talk about everything.
and then tried their best to instigate Li Zongren and Chiang Kai-shek to become the boss . As expected, Chiang Kai-shek's thorn was pulled out. Not only did he no longer guard against Li Zongren, he also valued him very much. Lee Zongren even had the opportunity to run for president.
1948, Li Zongren and Sun Ke competed for the position of vice president of the Republic of China. Although Li Zongren was strong and had significant military achievements, Sun Ke was not an unknown person. He was a descendant of Sun Yat-sen and his revolutionary qualifications were no less than Li Zongren. The two were equally matched, and the election results were unpredictable. At this time, Guo Dejie knew that she could not sit still and wait for death and began to take the initiative.
Guo Dejie generously took out his private money and included Nanning Bailing Restaurant, Chongqing Anle Restaurant, Anle Restaurant, Longmen Restaurant, Overseas Chinese Guesthouse, and Jieshoutang as the residence of the National Congress representative.
During the election campaign, Guo Dejie was good at everything and was good at dancing. He dealt with all the representatives at three meals a day, asked them about their well-being, chatting with them, and actively recruiting votes for Li Zongren.
For a moment, everyone enthusiastically called her "sister-in-law". When his sister-in-law called out, he was his family. So Li Zongren successfully defeated his rival Sun Ke and was elected Vice President .When the election results were announced, Guo Dejie was full of brilliant face and energetic spirit, and his efforts were not in vain! She became the "second lady" of the Republic of China.
Later, Li Zongren was the acting president of the Republic of China for a period of time, and Guo Dejie was immediately promoted to "First Lady"!
It’s a pity, good times won’t last long. The Kuomintang retreated to the island, and Chiang Kai-shek once again excluded Li Zongren. In desperation, Guo Dejie and Li Zongren had to settle in the United States. When he first arrived in the United States, Li Zongren was very down and out. He had been fighting for the rest of his life, but in the end he would die in a foreign land? The huge gap made Li Zongren very depressed.
But, isn’t Guo Dejie not like this? After struggling for a lifetime, ups and downs, my old age is approaching and I fall to the lowest point. But Guo Dejie did not succumb to such a fate!
is in a foreign country, and Guo Dejie's academic master's essence is revealed again. Guo Dejie quickly learned English and began to learn stock trading, earning a lot of income. Later, he began to enter the financial industry and earned a lot of money. In the United States, Guo Dejie alone supported Li Zongren and his family. After
, Guo Dejie also bought a two-story villa near New York. Guo took the time to learn how to drive a car, and drove it out from time to time to go shopping, partying, and learn Chinese painting to enrich his life.
At the same time, Guo Dejie did not waste his communication skills and did a lot of things for Li Zongren in the United States. In his later years, Li Zongren had a whim and wanted to write a memoir, but his educational level was limited and he had difficulty writing. Guo Dejie invited a university professor to help Li Zongren organize his memoirs.
Nowadays, Li Zongren's memoir has become a famous historical document. It can be said that if Guo Dejie was not here, Li Zongren would have difficulty staying in the United States for 15 years without physical or psychological problems.
Guo Dejie not only needs to live a beautiful life, but also needs to maintain her appearance. After arriving in the United States, Guo Dejie began to regularly inject estrogen in order to maintain her figure. The doctor told her that long-term injection of estrogens would cause cancer, but she did not listen to her advice. In 1962, 56-year-old Guo Dejie was diagnosed with breast cancer .
Fortunately, it is still in the early stages. If you treat it in time and make up your mind to remove the breast, you will have no life worries. But Guo Dejie firmly disagreed. Guo Dejie is a very beautiful person and is very reluctant to destroy his body due to surgery. The more important reason is that Guo Dejie pays great attention to his image and does not want others to know that his breasts have been removed, which will damage his reputation.
1965, Li Zongren and Guo Dejie, who were all very young, were no longer able to bear the homesickness and decided to return to their motherland. Before returning to China with , Li Zongren asked Guo Dejie to undergo a mastectomy. At this time, in order to save his life, Guo Dejie no longer insisted. However, the best time for treatment was delayed, and despite the surgery, her life was not long.
On July 20, 1965, Li Zongren and Guo Dejie broke through many difficulties and returned to Beijing from the United States by plane. Facing his hometown, Guo Dejie was filled with emotion. The couple were warmly received by Chairman Mao, Premier Zhou and others. Guo Dejie, who is nearly 60 years old, is passionate again and is ready to contribute to the new China.
However, if there is love in day, the right path in the world is vicissitudes, and Guo Dejie's condition gradually worsens.
On March 21, 1966, Guo Dejie, who had returned to China for only 8 months, passed away with regret at the age of 60. At this point, this century flower that had been splendid for a 60-year-old finally disappeared.
However, Guo Dejie would never have thought that Li Zongren, the lover who accompanied her to the last moment of her life, was impatient to marry another wife in the fourth month of her death. He walked into the newlyweds hall with the daughter of the famous movie star, Hu Die, , Hu Yousong, who was only 27 years old.
Although Guo Dejie ended up tragically, she never stopped fighting against fate in her life, nor did she let go of any rope of opportunity that fate had thrown away. She kept climbing and swaying along this rope, from one end to the other, jumping from a mason's daughter to the president's wife.
She did not rely solely on a man at the peak of Li Zongren, nor did she turn around when Li Zongren was in a downturn. All the fame and wealth of Guo Dejie was achieved through her own efforts and progress.
