Sun Liren: After arriving in Taiwan, he was demoted in wages, and he and his wife sold "general flowers" and "general chickens"

Tip: Ten years of farmers, in the doctoral and master's status of Sun Zhongping, Sun Anping, Sun Tianping and Sun Taiping, of course, there is the hard work and sweat of Sun Liren as a farmer in the Dakeng farmland, and the Christmas red blooms. And the hardship and bitterness, after the person is erected, will pass, and it does not exist.

Sun Liren: After arriving in Taiwan, he was demoted in wages, and he and his wife sold "general flowers" and "general chickens"

The word "person" is not easy to write, and it is a difficult thing to stand it up.

In this regard, Confucius once said: "If you want to stand up for yourself, you want to reach people." Meaning: you have to stand firm in order to lift up the person who has fallen. You have to be tengda in order to give charity to the masses. However, how to make yourself "stand firm" and stand up your own people first, Confucius did not say. Therefore, this makes people can't help but think of the "way to establish people is known as benevolence and righteousness" in "Yi Shuo Gua", but "benevolence" and "righteousness" are a very big thing or truth, and it is difficult for ordinary people to think thoroughly and understand, and it is not easy to get the specific operation, or it is that the tiger eats the sky and does not know where to eat.

These make us think of a person's name and experience, the experience of Sun Li and Sun Liren. "Sun" is the surname of the Chinese, "Liren" is the name, people like to give it a special meaning, always remind the person with the name, towards the "meaning" to act, do things, development, and then realize the meaning of living, the meaning of being a person. Although we do not know who gave Sun Liren the name of "Liren", through his experience we have read a little bit of the essence of "Liren", which is very common and simple, but the specific operation is simple and easy, and it is very easy to grasp and practice.

Sun Liren: After arriving in Taiwan, he was demoted in wages, and he and his wife sold "general flowers" and "general chickens"

Born in 1900 in Lujiang, Anhui Province, Sun Liren graduated from Tsinghua University and the Virginia Military Academy in the United States, and was the general who annihilated the Japanese army the most among the generals of the Chinese military units in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and was known as "Fox of the Jungle" and "Oriental Rommel". In such a brilliant resume, General Sun seems to have "established" "people", but the truth is that the subsequent experience is the beginning of General Sun's "establishment of people" from his own point of view.

People familiar with history know that in the late 1940s, the Kuomintang defeated Taiwan, and Sun Liren followed suit, initially staying in Taiwan for a few years, and was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as "Commander-in-Chief of the Taiwan Defense General Command" and then promoted to "Commander-in-Chief of the Army." In June 1956, Sun Liren was expelled from the official residence on Nanchang Road in Taipei City and moved to his residence at No. 18, a section of Shangshang Road in Taichung City, where he began his life under house arrest. Why be under house arrest? This is because Chiang believes that Sun Liren will come together with the Americans, gain the support of the Americans, and then replace himself and become the "steward" of Taiwan. The incident was also known as the "mutiny case" or the "Sun Liren incident", and Chiang obtained intelligence that Sun Liren wanted to use the Military Parade in Pingtung, Tainan to launch a mutiny. Although the materials later released confirmed that this was spurious, Sun Liren was still guarded at that time.

Sun Liren and Zhang Jingying

In May 1983, Sun Liren graduated from Tsinghua University on the 60th anniversary, although he could not go, but Taiwan's Tsinghua University sent Professor Yang Juemin to present a commemorative gold medal. Yang then published an article about Sun Liren's recent situation, which was the first time in 28 years since Sun Liren was placed under house arrest. On March 20 and 27, 1988, Zheng Weiyuan, "Minister of National Defense" of Taiwan Province, visited Sun Liren in Taichung twice, saying that in the future, Sun Liren would have full freedom of action and speech and could go anywhere and see any friend. Since then, Sun Liren has ended his 33-year long life of seclusion and regained his freedom.

So, what has Sun Li been doing in the past 33 years? If you want to sum it up, it is nothing more than the following words: planting land, selling vegetables, selling flowers; raising chickens, selling chickens, selling eggs, etc., while supporting yourself and your wife, and raising children.

According to the current information, Sun Liren had 3 wives: 1. Gong Xitao; 2. Zhang Jingying (also called Zhang Qingyang); 3. Zhang Meiying (also called Zhang Meiying). In fact, he also has a wife, Huang Zheng (also known as Huang Meizhi), before Zhang Meiying, but for a short time, and eventually became a victim of a case in Taiwan (not the Sun Liren incident), and had no children, which can be ignored.

Gong Xitao was the original match of Sun Liren, the marriage between the two was arranged by the parents of both sides, and later Sun Liren transferred his affection to Zhang Jingying, divorced Gong Xitao and did not leave home, and finally was left in the mainland, and never remarried for a lifetime. Gong Xitao was the chairman of the Hefei Qinglongchang Women's Anti-Japanese Mobilization Association, and died of illness in Hefei in 1981. Zhang Jingying is a native of Changsha, Hunan Province, born in 1913, a full 13 years younger than Sun Liren. When he was a teenager, he came to Nanjing with his family and met Sun Liren when he attended Nanjing Huiwen Girls' High School. The two married in 1930. Zhang Jingying's family is rich, educated, beautiful-looking, and has a good relationship with Sun Liren after marriage, but there is a shortcoming, can not have children, in order to let Sun Liren pass on the generations, after going to Taiwan, he began to color women for Sun Liren, Sun Liren can have the last two wives, are her "masterpieces".

Although the names of Zhang Meiying and Zhang Jingying are somewhat similar, the two are not related by blood, she is Taiwanese, nurses, and the combination with Sun Liren is the result of Zhang Jingying's matchmaking, Sun Liren's knees 4 children are born to her. Therefore, in Taiwan, it was these two women who finally accompanied Sun Liren, and in 1950, after Zhang Jingying introduced Zhang Meiying to Sun Liren, she began to live in Taipei to eat and pray to the Buddha, and only went to Taichung to reunite with her family during the New Year's Festival. Zhang Meiying does not have any formal name, is the woman behind Sun Liren, silently paying for Sun Liren, in some occasions that need Sun Liren's wife to attend, it is Zhang Jingying who appears.

Zhang Meiying is the 4 children of Sun Lisheng, with such a general resume and identity: the eldest daughter Sun Zhongping, born in 1952, graduated from the Department of Nuclear Engineering of Tsinghua University in Taiwan, ph.D. from Cornell University in the United States; the eldest Son Anping, born in 1954, graduated from the Department of Physics of Zhongyuan University of Technology in Taiwan and the Master of Physics of Tsinghua Institute of Physics; the second Son Tianping, born in 1956, the Department of Mathematics of Fu Jen University, the Master of Electronic Computer Engineering of Villanova University in the United States, and the Master of Business Administration of William and Mary College in the United States. In 2015, as a representative of Taiwan and the descendant of a famous anti-Japanese war general, he participated in the military parade and related commemorative activities for the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in Beijing; the second daughter, Sun Taiping, born in 1958, graduated from the Department of Chemistry of Tsinghua University in Hsinchu, the Doctor of Biochemistry of Duke University in the United States, and the postdoctoral graduate student of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States.

The 4 children are very successful, all of them are masters, doctors, are very excellent, behind them is Sun Liren's experience of farming and raising chickens, selling vegetables, flowers, chickens, and eggs. The residence at No. 18, a section of Shangshang Road in Taichung City, was originally an old-fashioned house left behind by the Japanese, and Sun Liren bought it for money after he arrived in Taiwan and turned it into his own private residence. In 1956, when he was under house arrest, Chiang sent a platoon of troops to the area, as well as some plainclothes agents, who were always watching him. Counting from the time of the children's birth, he should have 3 children at this time: Sun Zhongping, Sun Anping and Sun Tianping. At that time, he still had some money in his hands, and Chiang did not pay him a salary for 3 years. 3 years later, he already had his fourth child, Sun Taiping, the children were growing up one by one, to spend money on school, Jiang felt that if he did not pay him a salary, his life might not be able to live, but his salary was "adjusted" from lieutenant general to captain's, which was greatly reduced.

No way, Sun Liren stared at his own house, the backyard of the house is relatively spacious, and he can sort out a few acres of land. He consulted with his wife Zhang Meiying and sorted out these acres of land to live a life. First, they grew roses and vegetables here, and Mrs. Zhang Meiying took them to the street to buy them, and people called their products "General Roses" and "General Vegetables", giving them a lot of subsidies for family expenses. But because of the limited land, it is obviously difficult to survive only on the income of "general roses" and "general vegetables", and after a while, in order to make the land output more valuable, he and his wife thought of raising chickens on their own acres and three-quarters of land, selling chickens and selling eggs, and people called their products "general chicken" and "general egg".

Similarly, after insisting on it for a while, Sun Liren and his wife clearly felt that relying on "general chickens" and "general eggs" still could not meet the needs of family expenses, so they pondered raising golden silk birds with greater value and more considerable profits. It is not clear how much income the cultivation of golden silk birds brought to Sun Liren, but only that in 1966, he had to write a report to Chiang And asked him to go to Taichung Dakeng with his wife Zhang Meiying to farm the land.

Dakeng is now a scenic area in the northeastern suburbs of Taichung City, Taiwan Province, although the highest altitude is only 850 meters, but because it is a water conservation forest, coupled with steep terrain, less man-made development, the original style is charming. The orogeny of the two ice ages in ancient times has bred the rich natural resources of this area, and the Taichung Municipal Government has opened 8 hiking trails here, combined with leisure attractions such as the Zhongzheng camping area and the physical exercise ground, which is a popular hiking place in Taichung City.

The name Dakeng is derived from the fact that the early inhabitants of the area were mainly gathered in a wide pit valley with a width of up to 350 meters. Most of the first people who came here were Hakka; earlier, it was the distribution of the Pingpu people. It was once one of the earliest tobacco producers in Taiwan, and in the process of the gradual decline of the tobacco industry, bamboo shoots, citrus, lychees, Wendan and Wenxinlan are the agricultural products in this area. In addition, the local chicken produced here is very famous, and the local bamboo shoots are boiled together and have a delicious and sweet taste, which is mouth-watering. In 1976, the Taichung municipal government gradually developed it into a scenic spot.

That is to say, when Sun Liren wrote a report to Dakeng in 1966, he was bent on farming, and Dakeng would not give him other income. Jiang agreed, and Sun Liren changed from a general to a peasant and began his own life of farming in Dakeng. Wearing a bucket hat and a lunch box and a water bottle, he came out early and returned late, and if there was any difference between him and the local farmers, it was that while he was farming, there were also agents driving jeeps and monitoring him in the field. By this time, he was a 66-year-old man.

Sun Liren in his later years

The wind from the farmland blew through Sun Liren's graying hair, and people may feel some sadness. But as Sun Liren himself, in order to cultivate the land, he must plant the land well, and the children who spend money on school are counting on him to plan or plant his own tuition from the land in the big pit. As a result, Sun Liren, a former general, did not disappoint the children, and like fighting wars and looking for fighters, he looked for business opportunities in the land. Christmas red, also known as poinsettia, is a beautiful but poisonous flower. Native to Central America, it is widely cultivated in the tropics and subtropics. It is cultivated in most provinces, autonomous regions and cities in China, and is commonly found in parks, botanical gardens and greenhouses for ornamentation. In the second year of planting the land, also in 1967, Sun Liren found that this flower could make money, and in 1968 he tried to plant it, and sold it in the Spring Festival of 1969, making a lot of money.

The situation after that is self-evident - Sun Liren relied on his own hands to turn himself into a farmer who really plowed food from the soil, and also sent his children to the gates of colleges and universities one by one. It was not until 1975 that his tight economic situation changed, because of the death of Chiang Kai-shek that year, he was also relaxed, and his salary was adjusted from the rank of captain to the level of major general, while he was 75 years old and had been working in the fields for a full decade, without physical farm work.

Today, entering this text, we are not to praise Sun Liren, but just to tell people the truth of such a "liren" through his name and experience - in this world, no matter who it is and what kind of experience they have, they want to "stand" their own people, only through themselves, only through their own efforts and struggles can they be realized.

In this process, surviving is necessary to "stand up", but it is one's own efforts and struggles. In the same process, it is impossible to get help from others, or others will not come to help at all, but can only rely on themselves; no matter what kind of life they have had, even if they are like Sun Liren, from generals to peasants, they must do a good job and excellent peasants.

Ten years of peasants, in the doctoral and master's status of Sun Zhongping, Sun Anping, Sun Tianping and Sun Taiping, of course, there is the sweat of Sun Liren's hard work as a farmer in the Dakeng farmland, and the Christmas red blooms. And the hardship and bitterness, after the person is erected, will pass, and it does not exist.
