To say that the beginning of the Chinese revolution is to start from the Xinhai Revolution, and Dr. Sun Yat-sen is the pioneer of all revolutionaries, it is he who overthrew the feudal system and established the Republic of China, although limited by historical factors, Mr. Zhongshan's revolution is not complete, but his contribution is undeniable. Many patriots embarked on the road of national salvation under the guidance of Mr. Nakayama. It has been nearly a hundred years since Sun Yat-sen's death, but his story continues, especially the love between him and his wife Soong Ching Ling, which has touched many people.
Sun Yat-sen was born in Guangdong in 1866, his family was generally poor, and later because his brother was in business, the family conditions were much better, and with the help of his brother, he received a modern new education in Honolulu, Hong Kong and other places from the age of 12. His parents felt that his heart was a bit "wild" when he was studying outside, and in order to let him accept his heart, his parents wanted to marry him a daughter-in-law. There is a girl surnamed Lu in the next township, not only is the same age as Sun Yat-sen, but also a diligent and good personality, plus his father also has business dealings with the family, which is also considered to know the roots, so the second elder of the Sun family chose this Lu Muzhen as his daughter-in-law. The Lu family was also very satisfied with this family affair. The elder brother Sun Mei also felt that his younger brother should become a family. Seeing that his parents and brothers were worried about his marriage, Sun Yat-sen had to agree, and in 1885, he married Lu Muzhen.
Through getting along with Sun Yat-sen after marriage, he found that although Lu Muzhen had no culture, she had a gentle and kind personality, was filial to her parents, got along well with her brother and sister-in-law, and was a virtuous helper. Sun Yat-sen ran for the revolutionary cause, and all the affairs of the family were handled by the Lu family, and even the parents were seriously ill, and it was the Lu family who performed filial piety at the bedside. Wanted by the Qing government in 1895 for the failure of the Sun Yat-sen Revolution, The Lu clan had to flee to Honolulu with their mother-in-law, children, and sister-in-law.
Lu Shi followed Sun Yat-sen to the end of the hardships, but she never complained and fully supported her husband's career. Later, when she learned that her husband had become the interim president, she was surprised and happy to take her children back to China to reunite with her husband. However, after accompanying her husband out of Nanjing several times, she deeply felt that she was both foot-tied and uneducated, which would damage her husband's image, and left on the pretext of going home to take care of her mother, and the two divorced after half a year.
In fact, when Sun Yat-sen was running for the revolution, he also had a confidant with a red face by his side. Unlike the traditional woman of Lu's family, this confidant is full of heroism and can be called a heroine among women, and she is Chen Pufen. Her ancestral home is Fujian, and later her father came to Hong Kong for business and gave birth to her here. She did not read any books, and in 1891, she was introduced to Sun Yat-sen in a Christian church, admired Mr. Zhongshan's revolutionary ideals, and was infected and joined the revolution. Since then, Chen Pufen has been with Mr. Zhongshan, and for more than ten years, she has followed Sun Yat-sen to the east and west, whether it is Japan or Southeast Asia, she is around him. In addition to taking care of Sun Yat-sen's diet, she was also responsible for delivering letters and even transporting arms.
Not only Sun Yat-sen, but many revolutionaries have been taken care of by Chen Pufen, and everyone likes her innate arrogance. Although Sun Yat-sen never disclosed her identity to the public, in the eyes of those around her, she has always regarded Chen Pufen as Lady Sun. Later, Chen Pufen unfortunately contracted tuberculosis, fearing that it would be transmitted to Sun Yat-sen, so he returned to Hong Kong to live, and after recovering, he went to Macau to join Sun Mei. Chen Pufen also made great contributions to the establishment of the Republic of China, but she did not mention her own efforts at all, and still lived the same life as before. Although she is not the official wife of Sun Yat-sen, in the eyes of the Sun family tree and the Sun family, she is the daughter-in-law of the Sun family.
Sun Yat-sen had a love affair with a Japanese woman during his time in Japan, when Sun Yat-sen was 36 years old, a Japanese woman named Kaoru Ōtsuki, was a student, in 1902, they married in Japan, after marriage the two got along more sweetly, later, because of the needs of the revolution, Sun Yat-sen returned to the motherland, and Kaoru Ōtsuki stayed in Japan. Soon after Sun Yat-sen left, she found out that she was pregnant, so she immediately wrote to her husband to inform her husband of the news, and then hoped that her husband would one day pick her up to China. But she could not receive a reply from her husband until her daughter Fumiko was born, and Sun Yat-sen did not return.
Because there is no source of income, Ōtsuki Kaoru's life began to be stretched, and her husband was delayed, at first she could still rely on selling jewelry to maintain a period of time, but her husband had no news at all, and Ōtsuki Kaoru had no choice but to remarry. After the Xinhai Revolution, Sun Yat-sen finally got in touch with Ōtsuki Kaoru, but the letters they exchanged were discovered by their remarried husbands, who divorced Ōtsuki Kaoru in a fit of rage. The ill-fated woman left her hometown and moved to live in another city, where she remarried with Tomiko and began a new life.
Accompanying Sun Yat-sen through the last days of his life is the Song Qingling we are most familiar with. This Shanghai girl, after completing her studies in the United States, went to Japan with her father and sister to visit Sun Yat-sen. Previously, Song Qingling had long heard of Mr. Zhongshan's great name, and his revolutionary spirit was even more heartfelt. After meeting each other, she began to assist Sun Yat-sen in his work, and later when her sister returned to Shanghai to get married, she took over her sister's work and officially became Sun Yat-sen's secretary. Although there is a huge age difference between the two, sun Yat-sen also has his original wife and children. But the flame of love still arose among them.
Soong returned to Shanghai to show his parents that he wanted to marry Sun Yat-sen. For their daughter's love, the Song couple was very shocked, Sun Yat-sen was their friend, and now he was going to become a son-in-law. Her mother advised Song Qingling to give up, the age difference between the two was too great, and they would not be happy. But Song Qingling was determined to escape from home while his parents were not ready, and in 1915 they were married in Japan.
Sun Yat-sen's son, Sun Ke, was born to the Lu clan and was also a member of the Nationalist government, and after the founding of New China, he lived abroad and later served in Taiwan until his death. Sun Ke has 2 sons and 4 daughters, all of whom have achieved good results in their own fields.
Sun Yat-sen was the pioneer and forerunner of the Chinese revolution, and under his leadership, the people began to understand the significance of the revolution. He devoted all his energy to the country and the people, spent his whole life fighting to save China, and his position in the history of the Chinese revolution is unique. But he spent less time with his family because of his dedication to his career, which also became a major regret in his life.
