His three sons and three daughters were all prominent figures in modern Chinese history. Not to mention the three sisters of the Song family, but the three brothers of Song Ziwen. They had a very significant influence in the history of modern Chinese finance. Song Ziwen was born in 1894. Because of his family background, he once received a good education. In addition, he was smart enough to speak Chinese and English when he was very young, which surprised the teacher.

In terms of weapons and equipment, they were better than Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army. Also always helpless.
