It is said that a tiger father has no dog son. Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the Republic of China and the Kuomintang, can be called the "sleeping dragon and phoenix chick" in the Republic of China period. So why is his only son, , Sun Ke, , unknown?
claiming to be the best student Chiang Kai-shek What is the relationship with Sun Ke? Why did Sun Ke refuse the invitation to go to Taiwan together?
1. The amazing Sun Ke
As Mr. Sun Yat-sen's only son, Sun Ke naturally received Mr. Sun Yat-sen's wholehearted love. Even though Mr. Sun Yat-sen did not live with Sun Ke for various reasons, he still cared about Sun Ke's study and life very much.
When Mr. Sun Yat-sen heard that Sun Ke likes to read books, he often wrote to Sun Ke who is far away in the United States, and put forward some suggestions of his own and even personally selected books for Sun Ke.
Sun Ke is also full of love for Mr. Sun Yat-sen. During the communication with Mr. Sun Yat-sen, he will tell Mr. Sun Yat-sen about his learning progress and some interesting things happening around him.
Don't forget a single word of Mr. Sun Yat-sen's advice and implement it with care. Logically speaking, children are generally afraid of "strict father". However, Mr. Sun Yat-sen and Sun Ke and his son have developed a unique way of getting along with each other.
says that a tiger father has no dog son. At this time, Sun Ke also seemed to prove the correctness of this sentence. After graduating from high school, Sun Ke studied agriculture with the support of Mr. Sun Yat-sen. When he was a bachelor's degree, he later got into , a master's degree and a doctorate in Columbia University, and studied law.
These three majors cannot be said to be exactly the same, they can only be said to be irrelevant.
It would be great if an ordinary person could learn one well in his entire life, but as a top student, Sun Ke actually learned all of them well, and it would be fine if his academic performance was good, but Sun Ke's ideological awareness seemed to be particularly high.
Under the influence of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, he joined " Tongmenghui " early and became the youngest comrade in the association. During his tenure in the newspaper, he achieved remarkable results and received constant praise. Everyone liked excellent people, let alone this excellent person is still his own son.
1912, Mr. Sun Yat-sen and Sun Ke's mother Lu Muzhen Divorcery and remarry had no effect on Sun Ke at all.
Sun Ke gave birth to 6 children in his life, and the first three were named by Mr. Sun Yat-sen. It can be seen that Mr. Sun Yat-sen loved Sun Ke so much that he loved his children.
2. After entering politics, expose personality defects.
The father is kind and filial to the son is enviable, but I didn’t expect that Sun Ke would change after returning to China.
1921, Sun Ke returned to China to serve as the first mayor of Guangzhou. Originally, Mr. Sun Yat-sen thought that Sun Ke was too young and was not suitable for training at the bottom. However, Hu Hanmin and others believed that Sun Ke could be competent for this position in terms of ability and experience.
Sun Ke, who just returned to China, is humble and respectful, and has received praise from many people. Hu Hanmin is so kind to him that he can't be better, and he thinks about everything.
is just Sun Ke, as the only son of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, "the prince of the Kuomintang". No matter what his position is, everyone will respect him wherever he goes, and slowly he begins to float away.
Occasionally, he heard Hu Hanmin say that he had a "big young master's temper" and he held a grudge against Hu Hanmin from then on, completely forgot how good Hu Hanmin was to him.
Finally, he "had a bad temper" for himself. When Hu Hanmin raised military funds, Sun Ke refused to pay without proof on the grounds that Hu Hanmin had made money privately.
How important is military pay? This is directly related to the life and death of the soldiers in front. How many soldiers in history have lost their lives because of insufficient military pay, which has caused the soldiers in front to be unable to eat enough and wear warm, and are unable to cope with the enemy and lose their lives.
How could Sun Ke, who is well-read in history, not know about this? But he still did it.
Mr. Sun Yat-sen probably never dreamed that his son, whom he had always been proud, would ignore the overall situation and act recklessly for his own private life. He did not expect that his son would be so blind and lame. He could not see that Hu Hanmin was the person who really treated him.
And the reason why others treat him is just because he is Sun Yat-sen's son and wants to seek benefits from him.
Mr. Sun Yat-sen was furious and scolded Sun Ke fiercely, but he didn't expect that Sun Ke not only did not repent, but instead felt that Hu Hanmin was provoking the relationship between them father and son, and once again exhaled his anger on Hu Hanmin and hit him directly with his cane.
No one is perfect, and it is not scary to make mistakes. What is scary is that you make mistakes but don’t repent.
Mr. Sun Yat-sen has been working hard for democracy and revolution all his life. Now seeing his beloved son, he is like the playboys who do not take human lives seriously, how can he not make Mr. Sun Yat-sen angry?
Mr. Sun Yat-sen was so angry that he lost his mind that he took out his gun and pointed it at Sun Ke, almost killing Sun Ke. Fortunately, the guards stopped him in time when they discovered it.
Sun Ke probably didn't expect that his father, who loved him, not only scolded him for an outsider, but also pointed his gun at him. At this moment, he was afraid and scared. He knew that his actions had touched his father's bottom line, so he could only give in.
Later, during Mr. Sun Yat-sen's lifetime, Sun Ke never made any trouble again. Despite this, Mr. Sun Yat-sen, who already knew Sun Ke's nature, not only did not make Sun Ke the heir, but also did not allow him to get involved in military power.
3. Mr. Sun Yat-sen passed away, opening the era of "love and killing" with Chiang Kai-shek
After Mr. Sun Yat-sen passed away, Chiang Kai-shek took power.
At that time, Sun Ke, who began to hate Hu Hanmin just because of his "young master's temper", how could he easily swallow this breath when facing Chiang Kai-shek, who "snatched" his father's favor and power.
Sun Ke, who was in conflict with Chiang Kai-shek, publicly stood on the side of another person in power in the Kuomintang at that time, and announced that he was the heir designated by Mr. Sun Yat-sen. That person was either someone else or the biggest traitor in China later - Wang Jingwei .
Sun Ke's operation made Chiang Kai-shek at that time very embarrassed and was once forced to step down.
Do you think Sun Ke’s eyes are bad when seeing this? Although Chiang Kai-shek betrayed the revolution, he did not betray China, and Wang Jingwei directly became a Japanese lackey.
In fact, Sun Ke’s biggest problem is not that his bad eyesight is his capriciousness.
Just when Wang Jingwei was about to take power with his help, he stood by Chiang Kai-shek and pulled Wang Jingwei down. Such capriciousness made people stunned.
Although Chiang Kai-shek was not a grand person, Chiang Kai-shek, who claimed to be the best student of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, could not do what to do with Sun Ke who embarrassed him everywhere. He could only find a way to keep Sun Ke away from the political center. However, there were also many Chiang Kai-shek who felt that Sun Ke could not cause any storms, so he went with him.
It is obvious that Sun Ke, who is not self-aware, did not "understand Chiang Kai-shek's painstaking efforts", and still fought against Chiang Kai-shek wholeheartedly.
Especially after Chiang Kai-shek betrayed the revolution, Sun Ke, who had always insisted on "governing the country by the party", looked down on Chiang Kai-shek even more.
He kept secretly stumbling on Chiang Kai-shek, trying to innovate within the Kuomintang until the domestic political situation changed drastically in 1946, and Sun Ke stopped innovating and instead supported Chiang Kai-shek's policies.
4. Reject Chiang Kai-shek's invitation and wandered overseas for more than ten years
1949, as the Kuomintang army retreated step by step, Chiang Kai-shek decided to retreat to Taiwan.
Before evacuating, he still did not forget his teacher's beloved descendant Sun Ke. He personally called Sun Ke and hoped that he could leave together, but was flatly rejected by Sun Ke.
In Sun Ke's eyes, Chiang Kai-shek is not a good person. Just looking at Zhang Xueliang I knew from the fact that Chiang Kai-shek was not a generous person and was very small-minded.
Although Sun Ke has no great political ability, as Mr. Sun Yat-sen's only son, he has a considerable influence within the Kuomintang, not to mention that Chiang Kai-shek's several times left the world more or less has something to do with him.
How could Chiang Kai-shek, who has always been vengeful, let him go easily? Instead of relying on others after he arrived in Taiwan, it would be better to choose to be beautiful alone. Compared to himself, he has been in a high position for many years and has saved a lot of money at home, but he can only have a good life.
Then he took them to Hong Kong with him. At that time, many senior Kuomintang officials who were unwilling to go to Taiwan came to Hong Kong. They knew that Sun Ke came and visited him one after another. They all said that it was good to stay at home for a thousand days and everything was difficult to go out.
Although these senior Kuomintang officials were all rich and frugal when they were in mainland China, they soon became idle after arriving in Hong Kong. They visited Sun Ke for anything else, just so that Sun Ke could help them.
Sun Ke felt bad when he saw his former colleagues living in such a miserable life. If he asked for help, he would help him.
It is said that it is easy for a group of people to help one person, but it is difficult for one person to help another. Soon, all the assets that flowed in Sun Ke's family were spent. Even so, those people still did not let Sun Ke go and "visit" every day.
In order to get rid of this kind of life, Sun Ke and his family discussed and sold their house in Hong Kong to France, and later transferred to the United States.
With the money to sell a house, their family can still live a good life, but they didn't expect that Sun Ke was diagnosed with a variety of diseases shortly after he arrived in the United States, and it cost a lot of money to treat and sell medicine.
In order to save expenses, Sun Ke and his wife and children live in a small house, clean themselves and grow vegetables and eat.
Although such days are difficult, they have more time to study, which is not unacceptable to Sun Ke, who is fond of books.
However, later, Sun Ke chose to go to Taiwan to serve as the president of the Examination Institute and the chairman of the Soochow University at multiple invitations from Chiang Kai-shek.
5. Political shortcomings do not represent shortcomings in other aspects
Although Sun Ke seems particularly immature and willful in politics, it cannot be denied that Sun Ke is a talented person.
everyone says that you want your son to be successful. Mr. Sun Yat-sen, who is already a phoenix among people, must have higher requirements for his only son, but it is obvious that Sun Ke not only met Mr. Sun Yat-sen's requirements in some aspects, but also reached a unique height, which led to Mr. Sun Yat-sen's joy and even vaguely taking him pride. This is true, Sun Ke is the youngest comrade in the Tongmenghui.
After joining the Tongmenghui, he served as the editor of "Freedom News" and "Loud Weekly", with remarkable achievements.
The two books he wrote, "On Urban Planning" and "Introduction to Advertising Psychology", have received rave reviews. When he was the president of Jiaotong University, he pioneered the "golden age" of the prosperity of talents in learning history.
These things show that Sun Ke is not a mediocre person. His ability is actually stronger than most people. It’s just that his father’s halo is too powerful, which leads to him living under his father’s halo.
In fact, if he had not chosen to go into politics at the beginning, but chose to engage in a job that he was good at in education, with his ability, he might not have been able to become a great master of the generation.
Overall, he is an extremely contradictory person. Although he does not have any political sensitivity, he is a person with political ambitions.
He will vigorously criticize Chiang Kai-shek for his tyranny because he wants to pass on Mr. Sun Yat-sen's will, and will also support Chiang Kai-shek due to various constraints, which also forms his unpredictable political viewpoint.
