During the Republic of China, Soong Mei-ling moved everywhere, trying to create a mother's effect. But in the minds of Chinese people, the only person who truly deserves the title of "Mother of the Nation" is her second sister, , Soong Ching Ling, . Although is a relative, Chiang Kai-shek has no respect for Soong Ching Ling.
In order to make Soong Ching Ling surrender, Chiang Kai-shek used all kinds of despicable means, and Kuomintang spies also included her name on the assassination list. Why did Chiang Kai-shek hate Soong Ching Ling so much? What despicable means did he use against Soong Ching Ling?
In Western society, newspapers such as " New York Times " and " Daily Mail " are recognized as authoritative media. However, on the issue of China, the reports of these authoritative media have always been prejudiced and false.
In fact, as early as October 1927, these famous news newspapers published a report about Soong Ching Ling on the front page, which vividly told the relationship between Soong Ching Ling and Chen Youren and , and claimed that the two had married in Moscow.
Song Ching Ling's identity is already special, and coupled with reports from authoritative foreign media, these reports have caused uproar in China and abroad. Soong Ching Ling, who was in the Soviet Union at that time, only learned about the fake news after a long time.
Seeing someone pouring dirty water on him, Soong Ching Ling felt very angry, and even had an old illness relapsed.
As the saying goes, "No wind can cause waves." Who is spreading rumors behind the scenes? Why did the rumor-monger choose Chen Youren as Soong Ching Ling’s “rumored boyfriend”?
Chen Youren and Soong Ching Ling are both anti-Chengdu people
To solve these problems, we must not only understand Chen Youren, but also understand his relationship with Soong Ching Ling.
Chen Youren is a Chinese origin. After
Chen Youren has always supported Sun Yat-sen's policy of " Alliance with Russia and Communist Party ". He negotiated with the Soviet representatives on behalf of Sun Yat-sen many times and contributed to the Soviet Union's aid to the Chinese revolution. Chen Youren can be said to be the closest person around Sun Yat-sen, and his suicide note before Sun Yat-sen's death was also drafted by Chen Youren.
After Sun Yat-sen's death, Chen Youren still implemented Sun Yat-sen's "three major lines" and was a representative figure of the left side of the Kuomintang. Because of the same political beliefs and the frequent meetings, Soong Ching Ling and Chen Youren and his wife have a great relationship.
But the two are just revolutionary friendships, without any ambiguous elements.
Since Soong Ching Ling and Chen Youren’s relationship is simple, why are there such rumors? In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the person who spreads rumors in is Chiang Kai-shek. The conflict between him and Soong Ching Ling had become public at that time.
After Chiang Kai-shek took power, he massacred Communist Party members in 1927. Chiang Kai-shek always regarded himself as Sun Yat-sen's heir, but at this time, openly betrayed Sun Yat-sen's policy of "alliance between Russia and the Communist Party of China to help farmers and workers". This was naturally boycotted by Soong Ching-ling and the left side of the Kuomintang.
On April 22, 1927, Soong Ching Ling and Chen Youren publicly declaring Chiang Kai-shek at a meeting, condemning Chiang Kai-shek's behavior as "Surrendering to imperialism is a betrayal of Sun Yat-sen."
As Sun Yat-sen's wife, her speech was naturally very important. Chiang Kai-shek was very angry in the face of public criticism of himself. In order to get Soong Ching Ling to change his words to support him, he first asked Soong Mei-ling and Song Ailing to persuade Soong Ching Ling, hoping to impress Soong Ching Ling with his sisterly affection.
once strongly opposed Jiangsong's marriage
Soong Ching Ling has always maintained an opposition to Chiang Kai-shek's marriage with Soong Mei-ling. Soong Ching Ling knew very well that the reason why Chiang Kai-shek proposed to Soong Mei-ling was essentially trying to use the influence of Song family to gain political benefits for himself.
In addition to disgusting Chiang Kai-shek's political calculations, Soong Ching Ling was even more disgusted with Chiang Kai-shek's emotional infidelity. , and when pursuing Soong Mei-ling, Chiang Kai-shek actually had his wife Chen Jieru . Before marrying Chen Jieru, Chiang Kai-shek already had a concubine. In his hometown in Zhejiang, he also has a wife, Mao Fumei, who was divorced by him.
In addition, Chiang Kai-shek, Dai Jitao had a love triangle with a Japanese woman, and Jiang Weiguo was born to this Japanese woman.
The reason why Song Qingling opposed the marriage between Jiang and Song was because of his consideration of his sister's happiness, and he also did not agree with Chiang Kai-shek as Sun Yat-sen's heir.
In order to prevent Soong Mei-ling from marrying Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Ching-ling also made fierce remarks such as : "I would rather the third sister (Song Mei-ling) die than let her marry Bluebeard (the despicable name of Chiang Kai-shek by outsiders at that time), and I would not want the third sister to become a tool for exchange of interests." and other fierce remarks.
However, Soong Ching Ling did not expect that her objection had no effect. The eldest sister Soong Ailing has always supported Soong Mei-ling's marriage to Chiang Kai-shek, and personally persuaded Song's mother to support the matter.
Although Soong Mei-ling was young at that time, she was also a person who was passionate about power. And , Song Ziwen, who has never been tough, became a centrist after seeing that most of his family support this marriage.
Only then did Soong Ching Ling realize a fact: Except for her, the Song family, who is a staunch revolutionary, all others are profit-oriented people. This made her very depressed for a while, but she had no choice but to try her best to keep a distance from the Chiang Kai-shek government.
Chiang Kai-shek once murdered her
Chiang Kai-shek used the trick of sisterly affection, which was useless to Soong Ching Ling, who had true revolutionary beliefs. After the establishment of the Nanjing National Government, Chiang Kai-shek sent He Yingqin to visit Soong Ching Ling and invited her to serve as minister, but she was disappointed.
In order to express his determination to draw a clear line with the Kuomintang reactionaries, on July 30, 1927, Soong Ching Ling publicly told reporters: If the Kuomintang’s policies did not change, he would not hold any position within the Kuomintang and would not participate in any activities of the Kuomintang.
After Soong Ching Ling's public statement was released, Chiang Kai-shek regarded Soong Ching Ling as his enemy. Chiang Kai-shek has always been cruel and disregarded morality when dealing with his political enemies. Even though Soong Ching Ling is her elder sister-in-law and the wife Sun loved by everyone, he also had the intention to kill. If it weren't for the strong opposition of Soong Mei-ling and others, Soong Ching Ling might have been killed long ago.
Chiang Kai-shek felt helpless about Soong Ching Ling. He once said to his subordinates: "If Soong Ching Ling was not Mrs. Sun, I would have to cut off her head if I were someone else!"
was not treated with courtesy in the Soviet Union
On August 1, 1927, the Communist Party of China launched Nanchang , Autumn Harvest, Guangzhou and other uprisings. Because is worried about the connection between the left of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Chiang Kai-shek stepped up his pace to clean up the left of the Kuomintang. Soong Ching Ling, Chen Youren and others who lived in Shanghai at that time were at risk of being arrested or killed at any time.
In order to rescue Soong Ching Ling from the tiger's mouth, under the arrangement of the Soviet Union, at 3 a.m. on August 23, 1927, Soong Ching Ling and his friend Rena dressed up as peasant women, left home and came to a remote corner, and then got into a small car.
car was launched at Huangpu River Wharf , and Chen Youren was waiting there for a long time. Soong Ching Ling and others boarded the sampan here, and the sampan sent Soong Ching Ling to a Soviet cargo ship on the sea. After several days of wandering, Soong Ching Ling finally arrived on the Soviet coast and then took the train to Moscow.
During my stay in Moscow, Soong Ching Ling met Stalin . Unfortunately, Soong Ching Ling came at a bad time. Because her friend Deng Yanda criticized Stalin for interfering in China's internal affairs, Stalin was furious and Deng Yanda was wanted by the Soviet authorities.
Because of the Deng Yanda incident, Stalin did not welcome Soong Ching Ling's visit. Therefore, Soong Ching Ling was not treated with courtesy during her stay in Moscow.
Because I was quite hasty when I came to the Soviet Union, Soong Ching Ling and Lena did not have much money. Although the two in Moscow were safe, their lives were once in a dilemma.
Rumors made her angry and seriously ill
What's even worse was that Lena, who was already weak, caught a serious illness after a long period of bumps.Just as Soong Ching Ling was traveling in the Soviet Union to take care of his friends, at a train station in Moscow, a white man who had never known each other suddenly smiled in English and said something inconspicuous to her: "Congratulations, you are a qualified wife!"
Soong Ching Ling didn't know what this meant, and did not answer the white man. After returning to the apartment, the weak Lena looked melancholy. She said to Soong Ching Ling: "There are two newspapers here, some of which are about you. Don't be angry if you read it!"
Lena finished speaking, and pointed to the newspaper on the desktop with difficulty. Soong Ching Ling felt something was wrong, so she quickly took the newspaper. After seeing the "love story" and "marriage news" between him and Chen Youren, Soong Ching Ling felt that the five thunder were thundering, and she was covered in blood and couldn't speak for a while.
After a long time, Soong Ching Ling shed tears and she murmured: "Who did this?"
Rena looked at Soong Ching Ling, wanting to speak but stopping. She didn't know what to say to comfort Soong Ching Ling, nor did she know what to do. In the end, the two of them could only hug each other tightly, crying about these rumors and injustice.
Although Soong Ching Ling explained from many sources and even made an announcement with Chen Youren, not many people at that time could believe that authoritative media such as the New York Times and the Daily Mail were also spreading rumors, so public opinion had quite a complaint about the two, and many revolutionaries' eyes changed when they looked at Soong Ching Ling.
Due to depression, Soong Ching Ling got angry during that period. She first had blisters on the corner of her mouth, and then she had high fever for many days. But the disaster never came alone, Rena died on November 21 of that year. After bidding farewell to his friend, Soong Ching Ling left the cold Soviet Union and went to Berlin for temporary residence.
In fact, there were also people who understood that they spoke for Soong Ching Ling and refuted the rumors that "Song Ching Ling remarriage". Moreover, there was no real evidence for the news of Soong Ching Ling's remarriage. Therefore, after the popularity passed, many people began to doubt these rumors.
There is no doubt that the biggest beneficiary of slandering Soong Ching Ling was Chiang Kai-shek. Because once Soong Ching Ling remarries, she will lose the identity of Sun Yat-sen's wife, and then Chiang Kai-shek will launch a public opinion machine to defeat her.
Later facts proved that it was Chiang Kai-shek's government secretly bribed reporters from newspapers such as the New York Times at a high price, allowing them to publish such malicious lies. As the leader of the Chinese government at that time, Chiang Kai-shek actually used the despicable trick of spreading rumors. It can be seen that Chiang Kai-shek was not smart in his political methods except playing with power.
As an authoritative media, the New York Times and the Daily Mail will release fake news without conducting any investigation. It can be seen that the "freedom" and "fairness" that European and American media claim to be is a joke.
refused to "recruit" again
In early 1929, with Chiang Kai-shek completing formal unity, Chiang Kai-shek, who had always regarded himself as his heir to Sun Yat-sen, prepared to hold the Feng'an ceremony (the ceremony of officially moving Sun Yat-sen's coffin to Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum ).
Chiang Kai-shek issued an announcement several months in advance, claiming that he would officially move Sun Yat-sen's coffin to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum on June 1. Soong Ching Ling naturally cannot be absent from such a major ceremony.
In order to show her "benevolence", Chiang Kai-shek publicly invited Soong Ching Ling to return to China to attend the Feng'an ceremony, and proposed to let her serve as the principal of the National Revolutionary Army Remnants School, and also build a luxury house for her.
Chiang Kai-shek made overwhelming publicity in the newspaper with his invitation to Soong Ching Ling. Chiang Kai-shek's abacus was very smart. If Soong Ching Ling attended, it means that Chiang Kai-shek did not care about the past; if Soong Ching Ling did not accept it, then Soong Ching Ling was a "bad person who was unreasonable and refused to come back to the funeral of her husband Sun Yat-sen."
How could Song Ching Ling not know Chiang Kai-shek's little thoughts, but she had her own persistence and response strategies.
Before the Feng'an ceremony, Soong Ching Ling returned to China as scheduled.
Just when the people of the whole country were relieved that Sun Yat-sen was finally buried, Chiang Kai-shek did not intend to let Soong Ching-ling go. He kept sending people to visit Soong Ching Ling and tempted her various coercion and temptations.
However, Soong Ching Ling refused to visit all the lobbyists sent by Chiang Kai-shek. If it is from the Song family, it is OK to chat about family matters. If it is political cooperation, Soong Ching Ling will once again solemnly express his attitude of not cooperating with Chiang Kai-shek.
Therefore, on the night of the Feng'an ceremony, Soong Ching Ling insisted on returning to her residence in Shanghai despite her hard work and Soong Mei-ling's retention. Chiang Kai-shek's plan to recruit Soong Ching-ling with the ceremony failed again.
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, she was closely monitored by spies
After Soong Ching Ling returned to Shanghai, she remained in a state of seclusion. In addition to meeting democratic figures and participating in anti-Chiang activities, she hardly interacts with anyone and rarely interacts with her mother's family.
Chiang Kai-shek was particularly concerned about Soong Ching Ling. He ordered the spies to figure out Soong Ching Ling's daily life. Since Soong Ching Ling lives in , the French Concession , the monitoring work has various inconveniences. Therefore, the spy who monitored Soong Ching Ling fell on Military Control Commission ace Shen Zui .
In order to complete the task arranged by Chiang Kai-shek and to dispel Soong Ching Ling's idea of anti-Ching Jiang, Shen Zui once asked the spy to write a threatening letter to Soong Ching Ling, make a threatening phone number, and send her two bullets. I hope she goes abroad or moves out of the concession.
This kind of trick can't scare Soong Ching Ling at all. Seeing that it was so hard, Shen Zui started to attack people around Soong Ching Ling. Soong Ching Ling had a nanny named Li Ma at that time, which was Shen Zui's most valued buyer.
However, Li's mother was very loyal to Soong Ching Ling and refused to accept the bribe. Shen Zui failed to make a plan and used a "beautiful man's plan". After he learned that Li's mother was single, he asked a spy to pretend to be a taxi driver and approach Li's mother. The two were in love for a while.
After the loyal Li Mom told Soong Ching Ling about the situation, Soong Ching Ling asked her to take her boyfriend to check it out. After meeting, Soong Ching Ling and Li's mother discovered the flaw, and Shen Zui failed again.
After Shen Zui thought that he would have succeeded, he was puzzled for a moment. Later, when I saw the high-end leather shoes on the spy's feet, I realized that this did not match the identity of an ordinary driver.
Shen Zui is quite famous in the Kuomintang intelligence system, but when facing Soong Ching Ling, he always loses. In order to save face, Shen Zui proposed to Dai Li and that he could kill Soong Ching Ling through a car accident.
In order to implement the plan smoothly, Shen Zui volunteered to be the "driver in the accident". However, it was approaching the War of Resistance. In order to unite the War of Resistance, Chiang Kai-shek finally rejected the plan.
Although she has never attacked Soong Ching Ling, before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek firmly monitored Soong Ching Ling, and ordinary people cannot see her. Although she lived a life of almost house arrest for a long time, Soong Ching Ling still fought with Chiang Kai-shek for more than 20 years until the final victory of the revolution.
Although they are sisters, Soong Ching Ling and Soong Mei-ling are two extremes.
Soong Mei-ling enjoys the false aura while using her power to plunder the people’s wealth. people who love power and money are destined to be infamous for thousands of years.
And Soong Ching Ling adheres to revolutionary ideals and principles no matter what situation. Such people who have gone through hardships and never forget their original aspirations will be remembered forever.
