Far away from the portrait of the chairman of Tiananmen Square is the portrait of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, two great men of the century, one after the other, watching this hard-won taiping and prosperous world. Mr. Zhongshan, whose original name was Sun Wen, was born two years after the end of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, and at this time in China, there was the Qing government that had just quelled the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement and wantonly oppressed the people, and foreign colonists continued to strengthen their invasions, and the traditional small-scale peasant economy was further hit, resulting in the people living in a deep and fierce situation.
Therefore, Mr. Zhongshan wandered overseas to seek the truth of saving the country and saving the people, after the Wuchang Uprising, Mr. Zhongshan was elected as the provisional president of the Republic of China with a high vote, but he had to give up this position for historical reasons, and although the "Second Revolution" and other movements repeatedly failed, Mr. Zhongshan did not change his mind. In 1925, Mr. Nakayama died in Beijing due to overwork at the age of 58. Before his death, he issued a call that "the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard."
Such a great man, great achievements naturally make us envious, deeply grateful, and his children have a bumpy life?
1. Mr. Nakayama's marriage and children
Mr. Nakayama married four wives in his lifetime, namely His wife Lu Muzhen, his second wife Chen Pufen, the daughter of a friend he met in exile in Japan, Ōtsuki Fumi, and our "Mother of the Nation" Ms. Soong Ching Ling.
Lu Muzhen is the traditional parental order, the word of the matchmaker, when Mr. Sun Yat-sen was 19 years old, the Sun family entrusted the matchmaker to find a young lady of the local large family lu Muzhen of the local family that Sun Yat-sen found, after marriage, because Mr. Zhongshan was busy with the revolution, running around, the result was that for decades, the time for the two to really reunite was not much, in 1913, Lu Muzhen officially divorced Mr. Zhongshan. The two have had a son and two daughters, namely son Sun Ke, eldest daughter Sun Jiao, and second daughter Sun Wan. The Japanese wife Otsuki also had a daughter named Miyakawa Tomiko, while Chen Pufen and Ms. Song Qingling did not have children.
Two: The eldest son, Sun Ke
46 years ago, Sun Ke died in Taiwan at the age of 83.
Left one Sun family
Sun Ke was fortunate that, as the only son of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, he became the mayor of Guangzhou at a young age, began the first urban planning in modern Chinese history, and the senior officials of the National Government have always been his probing, and the title of "Father of the Nation" has always accompanied him throughout his life.
And he is very unlucky, from birth, it is difficult to live the life of an ordinary family, along with his father's ups and downs and his mother is also displaced. What makes people criticize is his "inaction" as the son of a great man. As a kuomintang elder, he was a wall-riding faction, constantly changing his mask as politics changed.
Before The death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Sun Ke was completely a young elite, and with the support of his father, he wantonly displayed his talents. Overhauled the railway, put forward the plan of "manufacturing 100,000 miles of railway in fifty years"; in the planning of Guangzhou City, there is also its own unique view, laying the current urban style of Guangzhou. As a young man, under the shadow of his father, he boldly went to work and bravely transformed the world.
All the changes in the story come from the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. The former "prince" became a question that those in power had to consider. His choice seems so pale and powerless under the vicissitudes of the times. When the Xishan Conference faction gained power, he established the Shanghai Sun Wen Doctrine Society to correspond with them; when the Northern Expeditionary Army gained power, he transformed himself into a coalition and campaigned for the United Russia, and when the counter-revolutionary act occurred, he kept silent and silently threw himself at Chiang Kai-shek. The capriciousness of the son of the Founding Father made the Kuomintang see his essence, they only enshrined him high, but did not give him real power, and Sun Ke himself was very bitter about the feeling that high-ranking officials were thick and nurtured, but could not do things.
In 1965, at the invitation of Chiang Kai-shek, Sun Ke, who had been at odds with him for decades, set out for Taiwan, and in the eight years of commemoration of the party he personally created, he peacefully walked toward death, ending his life of being bound by the times.
3. The eldest daughter, Sun Jiao
As the eldest daughter of Mr. Zhongshan, Sun Jiao is the most unfortunate of these children of Sun Yat-sen. Sun Jiao was born at the time of the failure of the Guangzhou Uprising, the Qing government searched everywhere for Sun Yat-sen's family, so the birth of Sun Jiao followed her mother to Honolulu in the United States to flee, perhaps because of the turbulent and displaced life of fleeing when she was a child, Sun Jiao's body was very weak, at the age of 19 she unfortunately suffered from diabetes, and then died of illness in Macau in 1913. His own story also came to an abrupt end.

Fourth, this female Grandson Wan
Mr. Zhongshan's second daughter Sun Wan was born in 1896, had studied in the United States under the funding of the Beiyang government, deeply influenced by American culture, did things decisively, dared to love and dare to hate, dared to pursue happiness, because of her character, also once loved by Mr. Zhongshan, but later Sun Wan insisted on marrying a married man 13 years older than her, which was extremely reluctant for her parents, and was opposed by her father who resolutely resisted the concubine system, and later Sun Wan was forced to divorce him under the pressure of her father, but also because of this matter, Sun Wan had an irreconcilable conflict with her father and severed the father-daughter relationship.

Later, when Sun Wan got married for the second time, Sun Wan was reluctant to invite her father to her wedding until Mr. Zhongshan died and her daughter did not want to see him again. The estrangement from her father became a knot in her heart that she could not untie all her life. After marrying her second husband, the two lived happily for decades, but in 1955, when the weather was unpredictable, her husband died tragically, and Sun Wan began her widow life for more than 20 years until her death in Macau in 1979, during which she never saw the Sun family again.
5. Japanese daughter Tomiko
We all know that Sun Yat-sen once lived in Japan for a while, and in 1898, Sun Yat-sen met Fumiko's mother, Kaoru Otsuki, in Yokohama, and Sun Yat-sen fell in love with her at first sight. Later, under the unremitting pursuit of Sun Yat-sen, the two people held a simple wedding in Yokohama. Soon after her marriage, Sun Yat-sen continued to travel to Southeast Asia and the United States for revolutionary propaganda, and she and her Japanese wife were also together. After only briefly returning to Japan in 1905 to visit his wife, Tomiko was born in 1906. However, before she was born, Sun Yat-sen had returned to China to devote himself to his revolutionary cause, and never returned. His daughter had never seen her father either.
Kaoru Ōtsuki
After Mr. Nakayama returned to China, Tomiko's mother, Otsuki, remarried Hideji Miwa, but was later divorced after it was discovered that she had secretly hidden a letter that Dr. Sun Yat-sen had written to her. After two affairs, Ōtsuki was devastated, and since then, he has completely hidden his past, went to Toko-ji Temple in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture, and married the abbot of the temple, Shikata Motoshin, living a secret life without asking about mundane affairs, and never told Fumiko's origins. Soon after her birth, Tomiko was adopted by another family, and it was not until she was nearly 50 years old that Tomiko learned of her origins from her mother and that her father was Sun Yat-sen.
Fumiko
After knowing her true identity, in the Japanese political environment at that time, Tomiko never disclosed her identity, she was afraid of being persecuted by others, until she was 78 years old, the famous Japanese newspaper "Yomiuri Shimbun" interviewed Fumiko, after getting the newspaper's promise that she would never disclose her identity before she died, Fumiko finally spoke, telling a lot of her mother and Mr. Nakayama's past, and at the end of the interview she told reporters:
"Because I was concerned about the position of the Sun Wen family, I did not dare to disclose my identity."
The secret was hidden until 1990, after the death of Tomiko in Japan at the age of 84, when the Yomi Shimbun reported on her interview and told people that she was the Japanese daughter of Otsuki and Sun Yat-sen.
Sixth, it is a comment from later generations
Let us imagine what Dr. Sun Yat-sen's home would have looked like if there had been no revolution.
He raised three children with his wife, and lived an ordinary and extraordinary life like many couples every day. Although the son Sun Ke will not be so prominent, but he will not remember his father only more than a hundred English books brought to him by his father, and his daughter may be like many small cotton jackets in the family, with more opportunities to communicate with her father, avoiding the pain of displacement, and life is so ordinary and ordinary.
Why hadn't Mr. Nakayama ever thought of such a natural pleasure? The family was neatly organized in that chaotic world, comforting each other and feeling happy in every bit of daily life.
But Mr. Nakayama did not, and all he left us was a back and a series of footsteps. In the darkness of countless people, curled up in the cold wind, he lit up his own shimmer.
The shimmer attracts the shimmer, the shimmer illuminates the front, and in the still endless darkness behind him, the footsteps of the latecomers begin to gradually sound.
And we know that the person who lit that glimmer for the first time faced the cold wind and the darkness that he faced, and undoubtedly more. The fire flickered, and the warriors used their bodies to protect this spark from being extinguished.
I remember that before Mr. Zhongshan died, he looked at his son Sun Ke, who was guarding his bedside, and said that "the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard", and he passed away unexpectedly. And in the middle of the night after countless mental torments, Sun Ke blamed himself for not fulfilling his father's expectations.
