This is a little-known history. In 1975, Chiang Kai-shek passed away at Taipei Shilin Official Residence . However, after seeing Chiang Kai-shek's will, Soung Mei-ling was so angry that he cursed . Soon after, he left Taiwan angrily and went to the United States to settle.
So what exactly did Chiang Kai-shek write in his will? Why was Soong Mei-ling so angry that she cursed her? After settling in the United States, how did Soong Mei-ling maintain her luxurious life?
Since fleeing to Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek has been depressed all day long. As the mainland becomes stronger, Chiang Kai-shek's dream of "counterattacking the mainland" has gradually shattered. With worry, Chiang Kai-shek's body is also getting worse and worse.
Chiang Kai-shek
In 1962, 75-year-old Chiang Kai-shek was suddenly diagnosed with prostatitis . With the medical level of Taiwan at that time, he was fully capable of completely curing it. However, Soong Mei-ling, who had always been "respecting foreign countries", refused to believe in the medical skills of Taiwanese doctors and insisted on asking an American doctor to treat Chiang Kai-shek.
After some contact, Soong Mei-ling quickly hired a black doctor from the United States , . However, due to the weak psychological quality of black doctors, the operation that could be completed in 10 minutes lasted for more than half an hour.
Shortly after the operation, not only did Chiang Kai-shek not only did the symptoms of prostatitis improve, but hematuria and urinary incontinence problems. It was also from then on that time that Chiang Kai-shek began to usher in succession of misfortunes. Among them, the one that hurts Chiang Kai-shek the most was the car accident in Yangmingshan .
Chiang Kai-shek
On September 16, 1969, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling took a car to Yangming Mountain to escape the heat. However, when they were driving halfway up the mountain, a jeep suddenly rushed down opposite. The pilot car had no time to dodge and had to brake urgently. Chiang Kai-shek's car and the pilot car suddenly collided.
At the moment of the accident, Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling, who were not wearing seat belts, hit the partition of the back seat of the car. Because of the strong impact, Chiang Kai-shek's immediately flowed out of the corner of his mouth, and swelled up sensation of pain in his chest. Soong Mei-ling not only suffered a neck injury, but also had slight abrasions on his knees.
Without any hesitation, Kong Lingsheng, the then chief of guards of Chiang Kai-shek, immediately sent the couple to Taiwan Veterans General Hospital for emergency treatment. After examination, the doctor found that Chiang Kai-shek had only a slight wound on the corner of his mouth, and his chest cavity and heart were not injured. However, he did not know that the car accident in actually caused a severe damage to Chiang Kai-shek's heart. However, neither Chiang Kai-shek nor the doctor noticed it at that time.
Chiang Kai-shek
It was also since this car accident that Chiang Kai-shek's physical condition began to decline sharply. Chiang Kai-shek himself also told Yan Jiagan : "After this car accident, my health was not as good as before, and at least I lived less than 10 years!"
In addition to diseases, changes in the international situation have also greatly accelerated the demise of Chiang Kai-shek. On October 25, 1971, the People's Republic of China officially returned to United Nations , and Taiwan was completely expelled from the United Nations. After learning the news, Chiang Kai-shek immediately vomited blood.
Not long after, the then-US president Nixon publicly visited China , and Sino-US relations gradually normalized. Under the influence of the United States, nearly 70 countries that established diplomatic relations with Taiwan announced that they had severed diplomatic relations with them.
Nixon's visit to China
It was under the dual stimulation of the inside and outside that Chiang Kai-shek's condition has deteriorated rapidly since 1975. On April 5, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly felt abdominal pain and his urinary system completely failed. After 11 o'clock that night, was rescued and was invalid, and Chiang Kai-shek's heart completely stopped beating.
Chiang Kai-shek's sudden death caused a huge sensation for the Chiang family and even the entire Taiwan. However, in addition to sadness and shock, with the disclosure of Chiang Kai-shek's will, a bigger storm swept quickly...
The last will, Soong Mei-ling was discouraged and was disheartened. This was Chiang Kai-shek's last will. Unlike the previous 8 wills, Chiang Kai-shek wrote a lot of attempts to "counterattack the mainland". However, after reading this will, Soong Mei-ling was furious. Not only did she scold Chiang Kai-shek for being indifferent and unkind , she also immediately set off to settle in the United States. Why did Chiang Kai-shek write so many wills? Why was Soong Mei-ling so dissatisfied with Chiang Kai-shek's last will?
Chiang Kai-shek and his wife
Chiang Kai-shek wrote at least 19 html wills in his life. The first will was written in 1920. At that time, he was the commander of the Second Detachment of the Guangdong Army stationed in Fujian. Because he was often excluded by the Guangdong Army generals, Chiang Kai-shek was depressed all day long. He felt that his future was hopeless, so he wrote down his first will. The main content of this will is to lament the unfair fate. Not long after, Chiang Kai-shek was valued for saving Sun Yat-sen, and was soon appointed as the chief of staff of the Grand Marshal's Office. After reaching the forefront, Chiang Kai-shek's first will lost its meaning.
Chiang Kai-shek's second will was written after the "918th Incident " in 1931. Because " does not resist the policy " , the Japanese were wantonly trampled on the three eastern provinces of our country. Faced with the strong calls of "severely punishing traitors" across the country, Chiang Kai-shek was afraid that he would encounter an unexpected situation, so he wrote his second will.
Compared with the first two wills, the third will written by Chiang Kai-shek in 1934 seems much normal. In order to deal with the relationship between the two brothers Chiang Ching-kuo and Chiang Wei-kuo and Soong Mei-ling, Chiang Kai-shek stated in his will that after his death, the Jiang brothers would get along with Soong Mei-ling as mother and son, and also told him that he would be buried with Soong Mei-ling in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing after his death.
Jiang Jingguo
In fact, from Chiang Kai-shek's will, it can be seen that what he couldn't let go of the most was the relationship between Soong Mei-ling and the Jiang brothers. During the " Xi'an Incident ", Chiang Kai-shek hurriedly wrote three wills, one for Soong Mei-ling, one for Chiang Ching-kuo and one for Chiang Wei-kuo. These three wills were mainly mediated by mediating the relationship between the three.
After fleeing to Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek also wrote many wills. One was when he had prostate surgery in 1962. The main purpose of this will was to explain "success". Although it was said that he would be taken over by Chen Cheng after his death, it was actually paving the way for Chiang Ching-kuo. It was just a small operation that Chiang Kai-shek made such a big move, which shows that he was not only extremely afraid of death, but also extremely obsessed with power.
Although the operation in 1962 was not smooth, Chiang Kai-shek was worried about his life. In the following years, Chiang Kai-shek had been doing his best to enhance Chiang Ching-kuo's status. To this end, Chiang Kai-shek once again made a will in 1971, emphasizing that if he was gone, Chiang Ching-kuo could be Yan Jiagan's deputy. Chiang Kai-shek's move was, first, to remind Yan Jiagan to abdicate in time, and second, to allow Chiang Ching-kuo to quickly seize power.
Yan Jiagan
No one knows when Chiang Kai-shek's last will was written, but this will aroused great dissatisfaction from Soong Mei-ling. According to Japanese intelligence agencies, when Chiang Kai-shek died, his personal inheritance was as high as
With an extremely disappointed mood, on September 17, 1975, less than half a year after Chiang Kai-shek's death, Soong Mei-ling boarded a special plane to the United States. Looking at Soong Mei-ling's lonely back, the crowd of people seeing off the farewell were filled with emotion, but unexpectedly, after arriving in the United States, Soong Mei-ling quickly began a very luxurious life.
moved to the United States, and lived in a luxury life
This is Soong Mei-ling's most real life in his later years. He lived in a private manor covering an area of .16 million square meters. His daily life was taken care of by more than ten followers. Every time he traveled, several cars must lead the way. The closets at home were filled with gold bars, and the annual living expenses were as high as tens of millions. But Soong Mei-ling, who had not received a share of Chiang Kai-shek's inheritance, did she get so much money to support her in squandering?
Song Mei-ling
Song Mei-ling’s residence in the United States is “Locust Valley Villa” . Before going to the United States, Soong Mei-ling spent $1.2 million to find someone to fully repair the villa. In order to live comfortably, after arriving in the United States, Soong Mei-ling ordered his entourage to clean and decorate the villa for a long time. According to the security personnel, there is an oversized warehouse in the villa. In addition to a few boxes of guns and ammunition, there are also a large collection of famous calligraphy and paintings and antiques.
In addition to drinking tea and reading in the villa, Soong Mei-ling occasionally goes out for a walk. Every time she goes out, she will have several luxury cars accompanying her. Sometimes she walks in the park, and sometimes she will go to the beauty center to take care of her hair.
As she gets older, Soong Mei-ling's physical condition is getting worse and worse. In order to facilitate medical treatment, Soong Mei-ling later moved to a high-end apartment in the center of New York. This residence has 8 bedrooms , and is equipped with a special elevator. Every time Soong Mei-ling goes to the hospital for examination, she will be accompanied by a special nurse. Sometimes, for her, the hospital also needs to to clear a whole floor of .
Song Mei-ling
According to incomplete statistics, during her time in the United States, Soong Mei-ling spent at least 0 million NT$ each year, and the salary of nannies and guards was as high as
The first part is from Taiwan. Before Chiang Kai-shek's death, Soong Mei-ling received a considerable allowance every two or three months, and after Chiang Kai-shek's death, the allowance was not stopped. Although Soong Mei-ling had moved to the United States, as Chiang Kai-shek's widow, Soong Mei-ling's influence in Taiwan cannot be ignored. Therefore, according to regulations, Soong Mei-ling has the right to enjoy two vehicles and two drivers, and Soong Mei-ling's medical examination costs are also borne by Taiwan. Therefore, the expenses for Soong Mei-ling's medical treatment and hiring personnel are paid by Taiwan, and Soong Mei-ling does not need to spend a penny.
The second part is from Kong Xiangxi . As the husband of Song Ailing , Kong Xiangxi's business was taken care of by Chiang Kai-shek a lot, so the relationship between the two families has always been very good. The Locust Valley Villa where Soong Mei-ling lives was purchased by Kong Xiangxi in 1943, and the high-end apartment where Soong Mei-ling lived was also purchased by Kong Xiangxi for help. Therefore, Soong Mei-ling did not need to spend a penny on living in his later years.
Kong Xiangxi
And the last part of Soong Mei-ling's huge expenses is that comes from her own investment in . In 1984, The United States, , published a news article : "Ms. Soong Mei-ling invested $5 million and invested in more than 3 oil and gas companies in New Mexico ..." Although there is no way to know the specific returns of this investment, it is certain that she can get a considerable return on investment in every year.
Chiang Kai-shek and Soong Mei-ling's lives are mysterious and legendary, but the final outcome of the two once again proves that no matter how noble or rich they were in their lifetime, they were just a wisp of blue smoke in the end, and all the legends and mysteries will eventually be buried in the long river of history.
