Mao Fumei, when it comes to this person, everyone may not know who he is, but when it comes to her husband, everyone will definitely know that is the famous Chiang Kai-shek . What is the relationship between these two people? The answer is a husband-wife relationship, and it is the original husband-wife. As for the well-known Mrs. Jiang Soong Mei-ling , she is not President Chiang's original wife. Although Chiang Kai-shek himself did not recognize his relationship with his original wife, the facts were there.

Mao Fumei is a fellow villager of Chiang Kai-shek. The two families are not far apart, and they are both rich local families in Fenghua. At that time, it could be said that they were a match.

So, in 1901, 19-year-old Mao Fumei and 14-year-old Chiang Kai-shek officially got married.

Their married life was not happy. Mao Fumei was a traditional woman who followed feudal ethics and had no other advantages except for the female worker who did a good job. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek had already entered the school and received Western education, and looked down on Mao Fumei, who was uneducated.

Two years later, Chiang Kai-shek went to Fenghua County to study, and he brought his wife Mao Fumei. On the one hand, he wanted Mao Fumei to take care of his daily life, and on the other hand, he wanted Mao Fumei to receive modern cultural education.

Just like that, while Chiang Kai-shek was in school, 21-year-old Mao Fumei also entered a local girls' school and became a student of the new era. It is embarrassing to live in the same school with a group of children.

But in order to learn culture and to make herself a new woman in the eyes of her husband, she persevered.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Chiang Kai-shek, who was a naughty, contradicted his teacher in school and kept causing trouble. He was finally expelled from the school. So the couple had to return to their hometown in Fenghua.

In my hometown, Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Fumei lived a stable life for two years. This may be Mao Fumei's ideal life. She had her husband by her side. After having children, she would take care of her husband and children, and the family would live a simple life.

The restless Chiang Kai-shek proposed to study abroad, learn some real skills, and glorify his ancestors after he comes back. The family originally disagreed, but Chiang Kai-shek was determined to go out, and Mao Fumei also supported her husband to go out and make a breakthrough.

So Chiang Kai-shek came to study at the Japanese military academy in 1906, which became a new starting point for his future success.

What Mao Fumei did not expect was that since Chiang Kai-shek studied in Japan, he rarely returned to him. Even during the winter and summer vacations, Chiang Kai-shek rarely went home, but ran to Shanghai to find his life ideals in this colorful world.

During this period, Chiang Kai-shek, who was good at ease, became the guardian of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and often accompanied him. He also met many social figures because of this, which can be said to be smooth sailing and good luck, so he stayed in Shanghai and stopped leaving.

Although Mao Fumei is concerned about her husband, as a traditional woman, she can only bear all this silently. On the contrary, Chiang Kai-shek's mother Wang Caiyu was anxious. She took Mao Fumei and came to Shanghai to find Chiang Kai-shek, so that the couple could be reunited.

It was at this time that Mao Fumei gave birth to a son for Chiang Kai-shek Chiang Ching-kuo , Chiang Kai-shek's only legitimate son of blood. Mao Fumei thought that with a son, she could tie her husband's heart and keep her husband's people, but reality was unexpected.

Just when Chiang Ching-kuo was 9 years old, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly proposed to divorce Mao Fumei. Why did such a change happen?

It turned out that Chiang Kai-shek was doing well at this time. He usually made so-called social celebrities and his family often received some identifiable people. Whenever this time, he would dislike Mao Fumei, a country woman, who was not allowed to go to the table.

said that Mao Fumei did not understand the way of hospitality, did not know how to communicate, and could not give him any help.More importantly, Chiang Kai-shek met a girl named Chen Jieru at this time. Chen Jieru was a modern woman with a good education and was born into a wealthy business family in the local area. In addition, she was young and beautiful, which immediately fascinated Chiang Kai-shek.

So Chiang Kai-shek began to pursue Chen Jieru frantically, and used various means to finally capture the girl's heart.

But at this time, Chen Jieru's parents came forward. After some investigation, her family found that Chiang Kai-shek was older and was in his thirties, while his daughter Chen Jieru was only fourteen years old at that time.

More importantly, he is already married and has a son, and is a man with a family. He will never agree to his daughter to continue to interact with Chiang Kai-shek.

Chiang Kai-shek Chen Jieru

Faced with the doubts of Chen Jieru's family, Chiang Kai-shek decided to abandon his wife and let himself be single in order to create conditions for pursuing Chen Jieru.

So I started to prepare for divorce, but Mao Fumei could not find any other shortcomings except for her lack of education. Just at this time, Chiang Kai-shek's mother was seriously ill, and Chiang Kai-shek rushed back to his hometown to serve his mother.

During this period, he wrote a letter to Mao Fumei's brother, saying that the couple is living a very unhappy life now, they have no common language, and they often quarrel, and he wants to divorce his wife.

news came out and was immediately opposed by everyone. Chiang Kai-shek's mother Wang Caiyu and the entire Jiang family opposed their divorce. As the client, Mao Fumei is a standard traditional woman. Although she is gentle, she firmly refuses to agree to her husband's divorce request.

A few months later, Chiang Kai-shek's mother passed away. After he finished the funeral, he wrote a letter to Mao Fumei. The letter said that his mother was gone and he had no worries. He was going to devote himself to his revolutionary cause.

In order not to implicate his family, he decided to terminate the engagement with Mao Fumei to avoid harming his family. This is actually a divorce letter from Chiang Kai-shek to Mao Fumei.

Chiang Kai-shek's reason for divorce was highly praised, but it was still rejected by Mao Fumei, and the Jiang clan members also opposed Chiang Kai-shek's will.

Regardless of whether his wife agrees or not, Chiang Kai-shek believes that he has terminated the engagement and is a "single young man" and can pursue his own happiness.

So he left his hometown and went to Shanghai. With the support of the Jiang clan, Mao Fumei still lived in the Jiang family courtyard as Mrs. Jiang. This is her first divorce.

Chiang Kai-shek, who came to Shanghai, told Chen Jieru's family that he had divorced and wanted to marry their daughter. Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek was firm and his daughter also had feelings for Chiang Kai-shek, the Chen family agreed to their marriage.

Chiang Kai-shek was worried about any accidents, so he hurriedly held a wedding with Chen Jieru in Shanghai at the end of the year when his mother passed away. According to the customs at that time, Chiang Kai-shek should have returned to his hometown in Fenghua to hold another wedding, so that Chen Jieru officially became a member of the Jiang family.

Chiang Kai-shek was worried that he would have a conflict with Mao Fumei after he took Chen Jieru home, but the virtuous Mao Fumei did not make a big fuss, but instead accepted this "little sister".

and hosted the wedding of Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jieru as the hostess, and led the newlyweds to burn incense in front of the grave of his mother-in-law Wang Caiyu, who had just passed away.

Mao Fumei's tolerance and generosity won everyone's praise, and she herself thought she would live peacefully as Mrs. Jiang.

But less than seven years later, he was once again proposed to divorce by Chiang Kai-shek, and this time the trouble was even greater.

It turned out that during this period, Chiang Kai-shek completely won the trust of Mr. Sun Yat-sen with the support of Chen Jieru's family and other Kuomintang veterans, and gradually became a hot figure at that time.

Chiang Kai-shek's ambition has also expanded again. He has a longer-term goal and a higher pursuit.

At this moment, he met someone who could help him achieve his ambitions and goals, that is Soong Mei-ling. As one of the four major families in old China, the Song family had a great influence in society at that time. If he could get help from such a family, it would undoubtedly bring Chiang Kai-shek's personal career into the fast lane.

But such a big family did not agree so easily. The biggest reason was that Soong Mei-ling, who believed in Christianity, only accepted monogamy and would not agree to Chiang Kai-shek, and would also have connections with other women.

Chiang Kai-shek was a man who would not give up until he achieved his goal. He immediately began to take action, first of all, let the simple Chen Jieru go to the United States and leave his side, and declare that Chen Jieru is not his wife, just a side room.

Then he returned to his hometown and formally filed for divorce to Mao Fumei again, this time his attitude was even tougher.

The people of the Jiang clan were also afraid of Chiang Kai-shek who was quite powerful now, and they dared not speak for Mao Fumei anymore. The weak Mao Fumei fell into a desperate situation.

Faced with the cruel reality, Mao Fumei made a request, that is, after the two divorced, she could continue to live in the Jiang family compound and never leave home after divorce. In the mind of this traditional woman, she believes that as long as she continues to live in the Jiang family, she is still a member of the Jiang family and is not kicked out of the house.

After Chiang Kai-shek's high-profile divorce, he finally achieved the goal of marrying Soong Mei-ling. After that, with the help of the Song family, he gradually reached the peak of his life.

The original wife Mao Fumei, who was abandoned by him, gradually became silent until one day, a letter published in the newspaper brought her to the world again. This time he appeared not as Mrs. Jiang, but as a mother.

The cause of this incident occurred in 1935. Chiang Ching-kuo, who was studying in the Soviet Union, suddenly published an article in a local newspaper titled "A Letter for Mother".

The article mentioned that when Chiang Ching-kuo was young, Chiang Kai-shek abused and beat his mother, directly compared Chiang Kai-shek to an enemy and stood up for his mother's experience back then. Once the article was published, it immediately caused a sensation. It was only for the first time that the general public knew that Chiang Kai-shek had an original wife and was treated unfairly by Chiang Kai-shek.

In 1937, Chiang Ching-kuo returned to China with his wife. They first met with their father Chiang Kai-shek. At that time, President Chiang gave his daughter-in-law a Chinese name - Jiang Fangniang.

When Jiang Ching-kuo returned to his hometown Fenghua and visited his mother Mao Fumei. When Mao Fumei learned about his daughter-in-law's Chinese name, she felt a little rustic, so she changed it to Jiang Fangliang .

From a person's name, it can be seen that Mao Fumei, who has no culture, has a higher style than her husband who is a president. Seeing that his son grew up and had married and had children, Mao Fumei felt extremely happy.

When she learned that Chiang Ching-kuo and his wife had not held a formal wedding, she immediately decided to re-run it and do it according to traditional Chinese customs. Chiang Kai-shek, who was already the head of state, also appeared at the wedding. Mao Fumei and Chiang Kai-shek sat side by side to accept the service of a couple.

At this time, Mao Fumei finally came out of the haze of the past, saw the hope of life, and saw her happy old age.

can make people lucky. Two years later, Mao Fumei, who was immersed in happiness, unfortunately died in a Japanese plane bombing.

At that time, she had already escaped from the house and ran towards the air raid shelter, but she remembered that she had not locked the door yet, so she returned home. At this time, a bomb exploded nearby, collapsed a section of the courtyard wall, and pressed Mao Fumei underneath. When discovered the next day, Mao Fumei was already dead at the age of 57.

Such a virtuous wife, such a hard-working mother, such a traditional Chinese woman who obeys the morality and ethics, went from obscuring her husband to becoming the former mother of the country, and then to obscuring her, and finally died tragically under the bomb of the Japanese invaders.

She experienced countless hardships during her lifetime, and after her death, she left a difficult problem for the living, that is, how to write her identity as a tombstone. Because she had divorced Chiang Kai-shek, she could not be considered a member of the Jiang family. She also married out of the Mao family early, nor could she be considered a member of the Mao family.

Jiang Jingguo, who was born as a son of man, accepted the suggestion of others and wrote on the tombstone: "The tomb of the mother Mao Taijun is respected by Jingguo." This also comforted his mother's spirit in heaven.

Also because of Mao Fumei's special identity, although her funeral was grand, she neither posted an obituary nor published a message in the newspaper.

official statement was to avoid leaving a pretext for the Japanese invaders, so the method of keeping the funeral confidentiality was adopted. But those who know the inside story understand that this is to avoid the current presidential wife being unhappy. Soong Mei-ling has always appeared in various social occasions as Mrs. Jiang, and she cannot accept the fact that there is a Mrs. Jiang in front of her.

So under Chiang Kai-shek's direct instruction, Mao Fumei's funeral was handled in a low-key manner. Unfortunately, she was hit several times during her lifetime and did not receive fair treatment after her death.

It was not until 1947 that his son Chiang Ching-kuo held a grand funeral for his mother, and Chiang Kai-shek, Soong Mei-ling, Chen Jieru and others also attended the ceremony.

Afterward, Chiang Kai-shek went to the tomb alone to burn incense and worship. Deep in his heart, there was still Mao Fumei's place, but in order to achieve his personal goals, he could only aggrieved his wife.

The one who really cares about Mao Fumei is his son Jiang Ching-kuo. Jiang Ching-kuo stayed in the Soviet Union for more than ten years when he was young, and his mother passed away not long after he came back. Failure to be filial to his mother has always been a pain in Chiang Ching-kuo, but because of Soong Mei-ling's existence, it is difficult for him to make up for this regret.

1949, when Jiang Jingguo fled from the mainland with his father, he came to his mother's tomb for the last time during his lifetime. He burst into tears, crying for his grievances and for the grievances he suffered throughout his life.
