During the Qingming Festival in 2007, a special figure attracted everyone's attention, and that was Sun Dianying's son Sun Tianyi. He attended the solemn ceremony of the public memorial to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum and left a precious photo. From the photo, we can see that Sun Tianyi is wearing a neat suit, although he has entered the age of eighty that year, his face still looks energetic, as if the years have not left too many traces on his body. If it weren't for the fact that I knew it in advance, I'm afraid it would be hard to believe that this old man was actually the son of Sun Dianying, the notorious tomb robber in history.
Sun Dianying, this name has left a deep imprint in the long river of history, and his behavior has made countless people spurn. However, his son, Sun Tianyi, is very different from him. Many people may not know that Sun Dianying does not have many heirs, he has only one son, and that is Sun Tianyi. Sun Tianyi is not the crystallization of Sun Dianying and his original wife, but was born to Sun Dianying's second wife.
Two years before Sun Tianyi was born, Sun Dianying embarked on the road of stealing and excavating Dongling due to lack of military salaries. His act shocked the whole country and triggered widespread public condemnation. However, although Sun Dianying's actions were despised, Sun Tianyi knew nothing about it. He spent his childhood in Peiping, living with his mother. He also learned about some of his father's bad deeds later.
When Sun Tianyi was sixteen years old, he learned of the death of his father Sun Dianying, it turned out that in 1947, Sun Dianying was captured by our army on the battlefield of Tangyin, and he may have repented in the prisoner of war camp, but fate did not give him too many opportunities. He soon died of illness, however, Sun Dianying's death did not have much impact on Sun Tianyi's life. After graduating from Fu Jen University in 1952, he chose to take root in the northwest and came to work at Xi'an University of Foreign Chinese.
In the 80s, Sun Tianyi was appointed dean of Xi'an College of Foreign Chinese and worked in this position for 13 years. He not only made remarkable achievements in education, but also attached great importance to the preservation of cultural heritage. Later, the organization appointed him as the president of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum Foundation, which was an affirmation of his contributions to the protection of cultural heritage over the years.
Today's Sun Tianyi is over 90 years old, but he still maintains his love for life and dedication to his career. He lived a simple and fulfilling life and rarely appeared in public. However, whenever he appears in the public eye, he always attracts attention and admiration. He proved with his actions that even if he was born in a family that was spurned by history, he could win people's respect and recognition with his efforts and talents.
