A woman full of legends-----Song Ching Ling . She selflessly devoted her stable life to the motherland and people she loves.
She is well aware of the inequality of women's status and uses her own strength to appeal to women to stand up and fight for the legitimate rights and interests of women. Aroused the awakening of women's consciousness.
Her small shoulders supported her own sky, and made great contributions to the cause of liberation in our country and the cultural education of children.
On May 29, 1981, Mr. Soong Ching Ling finished her glorious life. For her contribution, the central government decided to bury Mr. Soong Ching Ling according to the specifications of state funeral, and then Deng Yingchao presided over the funeral.
However, the funeral was originally planned to start at 10 a.m., but in the end it was five minutes ahead of schedule. Why is this?
1. Study abroad experience
893, Soong Ching Ling was born in Shanghai. Her father Song Jiashu was poor since childhood and had no choice but to become an apprentice. Later, he was sent to a foster care home for relatives in the United States. He cherished this hard-won opportunity very much. He studied hard in the United States without wasting any opportunities, and received education from the United States.
Later, he returned to China to start a company and became an industrialist. At the same time, he also paid great attention to the education of his children.
He is contrary to the world. She believes that girls should not only study and become talented, but also make a difference. In order to exercise their children's ability to live independently, they will send their children to boarding schools from an early age.
In order to temper the will of the children, he also took the children to survive in the wild; occasionally fasting, which can resist, tempt and become a self-disciplined person.
Soong Ching Ling grew up in this environment, has had his own independent thinking and insights since childhood.
907, at the age of fourteen, Soong Ching Ling took her sister Song Mei-ling to study in the United States alone. At that time, my country urgently needed educational reforms, and some foreign schools were willing to accept Chinese students, and some could even waive tuition fees.
In this way, our country is preparing to hold selection exams, select outstanding students, and go to the United States to study. The
exam has strict requirements and the test questions are very difficult. In the end, only more than 80 people took the exam, and in the end, only Soong Ching Ling passed the exam. Soong Ching Ling got the opportunity to study abroad for free with her excellent grades.
In this way, she took care of her sister while studying and trying to absorb all kinds of knowledge, hoping to get into a good university. She often reads in the library and reads historical biography far beyond her age, so that many foreign teachers remember this girl from China.
In 1908, Soong Ching Ling was admitted to the Wisrian Women's College in Macon, Georgia, USA. Soon, her article published in the school issue - "The Greatest Event of the Twentieth Century", which is full of patriotic passion and revolutionary idealism.
In June 1913, Soong Ching Ling graduated and planned to continue her studies, but she received a call from her father and had to go to Japan to reunite with her family.
Because she has been studying abroad, Soong Ching Ling has no idea what happened at home. At that time, because Yuan Shikai steals the fruits of the revolutionary victory, she naturally wants to completely eradicate the revolutionary factions such as Sun Yat-sen. In this way, Sun Yat-sen had to go into exile to Japan, and Song Jiashu, a friend, brought his family to Japan.
Soong Ching Ling has heard many legendary stories about Sun Yat-sen and has admired him for a long time. She didn't expect that her father would take her to visit Sun Yat-sen and meet her idol in her heart.
2. Rest in peace in the middle of displaced
Not long after, Soong Ching Ling's mother was seriously ill and had to accompany her mother back to the country to recuperate. She had no choice but to part with Sun Yat-sen.
After my mother recovered from illness, Soong Ching Ling decided to go back to the United States to study news so that she could understand the situation in China in the future. Her father was very supportive of this, but unexpectedly, her father was in poor health. Soong Ching Ling could only give up this idea for the time being and stayed to take care of her father.
Soon after, my sister was about to get married and had no way to continue working. Soong Ching Ling took over her sister's job and became Sun Yat-sen's secretary.
Soon after, they fell in love. Soong Ching Ling told her parents about this, but unexpectedly she was strongly opposed by her parents. In this way, her father locked her in the house and was not allowed to go out.
In Soong Ching Ling's view, even if the person who can lock her up, she cannot lock her heart to be with her beloved.
On October 1925, Soong Ching Ling successfully left home with the help of a maid at home and went to Japan to reunite with Sun Yat-sen.
In October of the same year, 22-year-old Soong Ching Ling and 49-year-old Sun Yat-sen got married. After marriage, they were happy couples with qin and sars and music, and at work they were working partners who had tacit understanding each other. Under the influence of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, Soong Ching Ling had closely linked himself with the people.
919, a major event happened this year. The May Fourth Movement and the students were arrested. Soong Ching Ling, as Sun Yat-sen's wife and secretary, drafted a statement on behalf of Sun Yat-sen to save the students.
In May, Sun Yat-sen took office as President of the Republic of China. On June 16, 1922, warlords Chen Jiongming publicly launched a rebellion. In order to avoid Soong Ching-ling being hurt, Sun Yat-sen asked her to evacuate first, but Soong Ching-ling insisted on staying.
In August 1922, Sun Yat-sen arrived in Shanghai and prepared to make changes to KMT . Soong Ching-ling did a lot of effective work during the talks between Sun Yat-sen and our party representatives.
923, Sun Yat-sen's troops quelled the rebellion, Chen Jiongming was expelled from Guangzhou, and Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching-ling would also return to Guangzhou to continue the work of the Kuomintang.
On March 12, 1925, Sun Yat-sen unfortunately passed away. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the revolutionary cause, which also made Soong Ching-ling lose her husband.
Song Ching Ling was not immersed in the sadness. The strong Mr. Soong Ching Ling continued to lead Mr. Sun Yat-sen's last wish and actively devoted himself to revolutionary construction. In January 1926, at the Second National Congress of the Kuomintang, Soong Ching Ling insisted on implementing the three principles of the people and the three major policies left by Sun Yat-sen, and deepened cooperation with the Communist Party; she was also elected as a member of the Kuomintang Executive Committee.
Anti-Japanese War broke out, and Soong Ching Ling advocated unity across the country and established a united front in the anti-Japanese war to strive for the final victory.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Soong Ching Ling had been raising supplies from all directions, contacting entrepreneurs and patriots at home and abroad, and donating money to support China's war of resistance. Although at that time, the conflict between Soong Ching Ling and Chiang Kai-shek became increasingly greater, and Soong Ching Ling's patriotic activities never stopped.
After the founding of New China , for the happiness of the people, Soong Ching Ling returned to the sad place of losing her husband while sick and served as Vice Chairman of the People's Republic of China. After that, Soong Ching Ling not only participated in national activities, but also devoted himself to women's equality, children's education and other aspects.
3. "Great Love" never stops
In December 1980, Soong Ching Ling's urticaria began to attack again, but this time it lasted for several months, and she didn't take it seriously. Later, after taking a shower at home, she accidentally fell down, and then had a high fever. Soon the doctor directly gave a diagnosis, and it was confirmed that she had chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
At the end of Soong Ching Ling's life, Li Yan'e's departure also brought a huge blow to her. Soong Ching Ling and Sister Li lived together for half their lives, and the relationship between the two was extremely deep and could be said without saying a few words.
Song Qingling's condition worsened on May 14, 1981. After many rescues, he was still in a coma.
On May 29, 1981, the outside of the operating room was full of people, and everyone's eyes were full of anxiety. The doctor in the operating room was rescued by Soong Ching Ling. "Ding... Ding... Ding..." The instrument sounded stopped, and Mr. Soong Ching Ling left.
According to the previous preparation, Soong Ching Ling's body was placed in the living room. The leaders and relatives and friends rushed over and said their final farewell to Soong Ching Ling.
According to Soong Ching Ling's idea during his lifetime, he hoped to hold a funeral in Shanghai and then be buried beside Soong Ching Ling's parents. In order to hold the funeral smoothly, the leader made various preparations in advance.
Actually! When Soong Ching Ling's condition was not so severe, the leader asked Li Jiachi to learn about Soong Ching Ling's condition. When he learned that Soong Ching Ling had advanced cancer , he was ready to think about what to do if Soong Ching Ling's funeral was done? I also planned to choose a place to hold a funeral, and finally chose Shanghai because it was her hometown and the last place she chose.
Not long after, Soong Ching Ling's condition began to worsen. The doctor also issued a notice of critical illness . The central government requires the rapid customization of state funeral plans. The problem of
is very difficult. After all, Shanghai does not have the experience of hosting state funerals, so there cannot be any mistakes.
Therefore, this funeral attracted great attention from Shanghai and strived for no mistakes. The specifications of the state funeral must be very grand, but Soong Ching Ling said during his lifetime that he hoped to be simpler and simple.
The central government decided to plan to hold a simple but unusual funeral according to Soong Ching Ling's last wish.
Just after the plan was approved, the relevant departments in Shanghai prepared. On May 29, 1981, Soong Ching Ling passed away in Beijing. The Central Committee held a memorial service in Beijing, and then sent his body back to Shanghai and held a state funeral.
According to the planned funeral time, it was scheduled to be held at 10 o'clock in the morning, but an accident occurred. Deng Yingchao temporarily decided to hold it at 9:55 o'clock in advance, which made people feel very confused.
It turns out that according to Soong Ching Ling's last wish, I hope everything will be simple. The central government has only invited a few dozen people to attend the funeral, and everything is going on in an orderly manner as planned, but an accident still happened.
Originally, Deng Yingchao and his group still had time to rest after arriving, but considering some special features, they went to the scene to take a look in advance.
Summer in Shanghai is very hot. There were many people coming to see off Soong Ching Ling at that time. They came to the place early and prepared to send Soong Ching Ling's last journey.
After Deng Yingchao arrived at the funeral site, he saw that people were sweating all over. Even though the weather was hot, people were waiting persistently.
Deng Yingchao felt a little distressed when he saw this scene, so he immediately made a decision: hold a funeral 5 minutes in advance, so that fewer people who see off will work hard for a while.
The comrade in charge of the funeral reported the situation to the leader. After the superiors understood the situation, they all agreed with her opinions, so the funeral was held five minutes in advance.
After the funeral began, the hearse escorting Soong Ching Ling's ashes was surrounded by a convoy. The convoy of the funeral followed people's footsteps and drove slowly. The roadside was filled with people who bid farewell to Soong Ching Ling and soon arrived at the cemetery of the Song Family .
Song Family Cemetery is not very big, but it has also been repaired and improved. The cemetery is full of pine and cypress , making the cemetery more solemn.
Song Ching Ling was buried on the east side of her parents. This time she could accompany her parents forever. Deng Yingchao and others presented yellow carnation flowers. This is Soong Ching Ling's favorite flower. In the future, these flowers will be accompanied by her. Although
5 was five minutes ahead of schedule, it continued Soong Ching Ling's great love. Because there are elderly people and children in the farewell team, in such an environment and there are too many people, I am afraid that someone will have heatstroke. If Soong Ching Ling is still there, her people will not be allowed to suffer this. Deng Yingchao believes that Soong Ching Ling will agree with what she does. Song Ching Ling is a very selfless person. She selflessly devotes herself to doing beneficial causes for the motherland and the people. She insists on helping women and children, helping homeless children, and allowing them to grow up happily.
In Soong Ching Ling's eyes, children are the future of the motherland. For this reason, we must create a stable living environment for them, so that we can create a future for the motherland.
Although Mr. Soong Ching Ling left us forever, her spirit remains deeply in the hearts of each of us, and her voice, appearance and smile are imprinted in everyone's minds, affecting our generation after generation.
We must remember our ancestors and spirit, and learn their behavior and practice the beautiful qualities they pass on.
