During the Republic of China period, many rich families with great strength emerged, who either controlled important industries of the country, practiced monopoly business, obtained huge wealth, or used their influence to send their children into the political arena, which had a decisive influence on the policies and current situations of the Republic of China government.
In order to consolidate the position of the family, these large families often marry each other, forming a bundle of interests, and then these families are more relaxed.
When it comes to the family clan in the Republic of China period, the first thing that people think of must be the Song family. Not only are the well-known "Three Sisters of the Song Family" well known in China, but the Song Ziwen and Song Ziliang brothers of the Song family also held important positions during the Republic of China period, and it will affect the political situation of the Republic of China between their hands and feet.
If you want to say who in the Song family has the lowest sense of existence,
That may be the youngest child of the Song family, Song Zi'an.
Song Zi'an, the younger son of the Song family
Song Jiashu, the parent of the Song family, has a total of six children, namely song xialing, Song Qingling, Song Meiling three sisters and Song Ziwen, Song Ziliang, Song Zi'an three brothers.
In the early years, Song Jiashu followed his relatives in Southeast Asia and the United States to do business, accumulating huge wealth, and later returned to his hometown to continue to operate in the business world, and the business became bigger and bigger.
The Song family had always been very supportive of Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary cause, and after the setback of the second revolution led by Sun Yat-sen, the warlord Yuan Shikai carried out many brutal assassinations of revolutionaries.
In order to escape Yuan Shikai's arrest, Song Jiashu took his young children and followed Sun Yat-sen to Japan, where Soong Qingling served as Dr. Sun Yat-sen's secretary and eventually married Sun Yat-sen.
When I was in Japan, perhaps because of the water and soil, the elderly Song Jiashu could not afford to be ill, and his wife Ni Guizhen was busy taking care of her seriously ill husband, and neglected to take care of the young Song Zi'an and other children.
Since sisters Soong Ching Ling and Soong Yi Ling wanted to assist Dr. Sun Yat-sen in his career, his mother Ni Guizhen entrusted her youngest son Song Zi'an to the care of his sister Song Meiling.
Song Meiling treated this lively and active young brother very severely, often beating and scolding Song Zi'an because of a small mistake, and broke the stick in his hand several times.
Without the love of his mother, and his sister Song Meiling was so harsh on himself, Song Zi'an's childhood was undoubtedly very unfortunate, which more or less caused his weak character.
He has a deep affection for Song Qingling's sister and brother
Compared with the third sister Song Meiling, the second sister Song Qingling is very caring for Song Zi'an, the youngest brother, every time Song Qingling returns home, Song Zi'an will be entangled around her sister and make trouble, and Song Qingling also likes this young brother to stay by his side and often play with him.
Song Qingling has had a study abroad experience since childhood, received a good education, she is free, often pick up a book to see is more than half a day, every time at this time, Song Zian will also turn out a book and sit quietly next to her sister, wait for Song Qingling to come back to God, this little brother has fallen asleep with the book.
This makes the relationship between Song Zi'an and her sister Song Qingling particularly deep
Perhaps in Song Zi's peace of mind, the second sister who gave him kind care has the figure of a mother.
Later, the domestic situation changed, and after Yuan Shikai was elected president of the Republic of China, he was still delusional to restore the imperial system, but his dream of being emperor was only 83 days, and he lost his life because of overeating and indulgence, which can be described as deserved.
The Song family ended their exile in Japan and returned to Chinese mainland.
Unfortunately, in 1918, his father, Song Jiashu, died in Shanghai due to severe illness, and that year, the youngest son of the Song family, Song Zi'an, was only 12 years old.
The death of his father caused a huge blow to the Song family's siblings, especially the younger brother Song Zi'an, and at that time, Song Zi'an's older brothers and sisters had either already participated in the work and entered the Republic of China government to hold important positions, or had already married, and Song Zi'an did not have much opportunity to meet.
After the death of her husband Song Jiashu, Song Zi'an's mother Ni Guizhen believed in Christianity and stayed in the church every day, and song Zi'an was often the only one who stayed at home alone in a big house, and only the second sister Song Qingling was always worried about this young brother in her heart, and often called to greet and bring a little warmth to the lonely Song Zi'an.
In the year that Song Zi'an was admitted to college, a bad news came: his brother-in-law Sun Yat-sen had died.
Song Zi'an did not go to the university to report, but flew to Song Qingling's side to accompany the sister who lost her husband at a young age.
The grief-stricken Song Qingling tearfully chose a cemetery for her husband and buried Sun Yat-sen in a beautiful place in Nanjing, and in the process, Song Zi'an stayed by her side, inseparable.
Later, Song Zi'an was successfully admitted to Harvard University in the United States, and Song Qingling was very proud of this contentious brother, and she wrote to her friends in the United States many times, asking them to take care of her beloved brother.
After Soong Zi'an went to the United States to study, the Soong family has grown stronger and stronger, the third sister Song Meiling married the Kuomintang leader Chiang Kai-shek, and the older brother Song Ziwen was already the finance minister of the Republic of China government. The sons of the Song family are extraordinary, showing a dazzling light in the central plains.
Before Song Zi'an died, he was obsessed with his sister
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Chiang Kai-shek brazenly tore up the "Double Tenth Agreement" and provoked a war with the Communist army, and the Soong family naturally sided with Chiang Kai-shek because they had held important positions in the Kuomintang government for a long time.
After the defeat of the Kuomintang in Taiwan, Song Zi'an has also ended his study abroad career and returned to his family in Taiwan.
In 1929, the Kuomintang government built a mausoleum for Sun Yat-sen in Taiwan, and Soong Ching-ling, who was far away in Germany, returned to Taiwan to participate in the state funeral ceremony for Sun Yat-sen.
Later, Song Qingling and her younger brother Song Zi'an left a group photo in front of their parents' tombstones, which she wrote behind the photo
"The tree grows for thousands of generations, and the leaves fall back to the roots"
Eight words, hoping that his brothers and sisters can eventually be buried with their parents, but unfortunately, this wish was not realized in the end.
Later, Song Qingling served as the vice president of the newly born People's Republic of China, and since then she and her brothers and sisters have been separated from each other on both sides of the Strait, and she can only exchange letters with Song Zi'an to express her feelings for each other.
A few years later
Song Zi'an died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage while attending a business event
，
Because of the lack of information, Song Qingling learned of his brother's death in a foreign magazine a few days later.
Song Qingling was devastated, but because of the cross-strait situation, he could not go to see his brother for the last time, and a few days later, an email was delivered to Song Qingling, which contained a property inheritance letter.
It turned out that before their mother died, they had left a legacy for each of their children, because Song Qingling was not around, and her share was kept by Song Zi'an.
After Song Zi'an was critically ill,
He remembered his sister, who deliberately left a will and handed over this property to his sister Song Qingling.
After receiving this email, Song Qingling locked himself in his room for a long time and cried bitterly
But the heavens and people are forever separated, and the two intimate sisters and brothers finally failed to see each other, which became a lifelong regret.
brief summary:
Song Zi'an was very inconspicuous in the prestigious Song family, and he did not make great contributions to the revolutionary cause like his sister Song Qingling, nor did he make a great contribution to the Kuomintang government like other brothers and sisters. He rarely participated in politics in his lifetime, but his sincere feelings with his sister Soong Ching Ling touched countless people on both sides of the strait.
