Song family has always been regarded as one of the most influential families in China in the first half of the 20th century. Song Yaoru is a missionary and a supporter of Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary cause. His wife Ni is a descendant of Xu Guangqi, a scientist in the Ming Dynasty. Song Yaoru and Ni have three daughters and three sons after marriage. The three daughters, namely, the eldest daughter Ai Ling, the second daughter Qingling and the third daughter Meiling, are well-known Song sisters.
Song Ziwen, the eldest son, was born in Shanghai Tongren Hospital on February 4th, 1994. 18 years old, went to Harvard University to study economics and get a master's degree, and then went to Columbia University to get a doctorate. From 65438 to 0925, he served as Minister of Finance of the National Government. After that, I can say that I have been holding the money of the National Government. During this period, we also did a lot of good things. For example, during the period of 1928- 1930, we recovered our tariff autonomy through negotiations and gave China the right to determine tariff rates and supervise tax collection. In the Xi incident, a peaceful solution is impossible without Song Ziwen's participation. 1942 went to the United States to raise funds, raised tens of millions, and brought back a Flying Tigers. It can be said that at that time, it also made great contributions to the war of resistance.
After holding hands with Jiangxi beauty Zhang Leyi, Song Ziwen also had three daughters, the eldest daughter Qiong Yi, the second daughter Iman and the third daughter Yi Rui, which should be regarded as the second generation of the Song sisters.
Have you noticed that all three daughters have the word "H" in their names? Why does everyone use this word? This is related to Song Ziwen's first love.
The heroine of this love story is Sheng Aiyi, the seventh daughter of Sheng Xuanhuai, the richest man in Yat Sen Qing and the first tycoon in Shanghai. From the moment she was born, she was spoiled by everything.
Regarding the image of Sheng Aiyi, Song Ziwen wrote a sentence in his diary: "Seeing her for the first time is like seeing a fairy coming down to earth!"
They first met in 19 17. At that time, Song Ziwen was 23 years old and Sheng Aiyi 17 years old. In Song Ziwen at that time, Song Ailing, the eldest sister, married Kong Xiangxi two years ago, and Soong Ching Ling, the second sister, married Sun Yat-sen, the interim president of the Republic of China. Song Ziwen himself has just received a doctorate from Columbia University. After graduation, Song Ziwen was full of blood to serve the motherland. After several rounds of application, he was hired as the secretary of the Shanghai office of Hanyeping Company. In this way, there is also an opportunity to enter the gate of Shengjia.
It is precisely because of this coincidence that Song Ziwen met her lifelong "old enemy" Sheng Aiyi.
The first time I saw Sheng Aiyi, Song Ziwen was too nervous to speak, but he had fallen in love with the girl called "Miss Qi" because she ranked seventh in the family. Teacher Qi wants to learn English. Song Ziwen, who studied in the United States, volunteered to be Sheng Aiyi's English teacher. In fact, he wants to use the opportunity of being a tutor to get close to Sheng Aiyi, talk to her and see her again.
After working as a governess for a period of time, Song Ziwen found that Teacher Qi had a good impression of himself.
So in the long run, the two always make faces together and soon give away the clues. Sheng Aiyi's mother, unable to get sand in her eyes, found that these two people were a little abnormal. After carefully asking the close-fitting girl around her daughter, Sheng's mother was surprised in a cold sweat! This young man named Song dares to climb his daughter!
Mother Sheng sent someone to investigate the family situation first. A few days later, the person who went to inquire about the situation came back and told Sheng's mother, "This person is from Guangdong, and all his family members believe in Christianity. His father is a famous local businessman, and I heard that his business is doing quite well. However, he used to play the piano in church. "
Upon hearing the word "playing the piano", the Virgin immediately waved her hand, indicating that she didn't want to listen any more, because the word "playing the piano" had already located the family background of the Song family. In the afternoon, Notre Dame called her seventh daughter and said to her seriously, "We are not allowed to see Song Ziwen again. How can the daughter of our Sheng family marry such a family! "
Later, Song Ziwen was transferred to Hanyang by Shengmu, and Hanyang was thousands of miles away from Shanghai. It seems that Jay Chou's A Thousand Miles Away can express the feelings of the couple at that time.
Mother Sheng thinks that if the young couple can't see each other at such a long distance, they should soon forget each other.
However, the person who was transferred to Hanyang secretly ran back to Shanghai on business trip and met the "Miss Qi" who missed him. However, it did not succeed. In the face of Song Ziwen's persistent beating, she couldn't bear to hold her mother and finally used her killer. She said to her daughter, "Song Ziwen and I, you can only choose one. If you choose him, you will never go back to Shengjia! " The biological mother has given an ultimatum, knowing that she can't stay in the Sheng family any longer.
1923, Song Ziwen resigned angrily and made up his mind to step into politics, intending to develop in Guangzhou with his eldest brother, Sun Yat-sen.
In fact, before going to Guangzhou, Song Ziwen suggested that Sheng Aiyi elope with him. Sheng Aiyi hesitated at that moment. After all, she is reluctant to leave her mother, her family and Shanghai. Everything that Sheng Jia has now, Song Ziwen can't give it, and he can't promise anything. For the sake of "Miss Seven", she dare not risk her life.
She has no courage and feels powerless. When Song Ziwen left Shanghai, she gave him A Jin Coconut as a travel expense.
After bidding farewell to Shengjia, Song Ziwen went to Guangzhou. In Guangzhou, because of the care of his brother-in-law Sun Wen and his real skills, he was quickly promoted to the position of governor of the military government bank and became the finance minister of the Republic of China in 1925.
1927 In Jiujiang, Song Ziwen met the daughter of Zhang Mozhi, a famous local businessman, and Zhang Leyi was also a symbol of beauty. They fell in love at first sight and got married the next year.
Sheng Aiyi, who learned the news, was seriously ill, and this "anger" was the only gaffe in Miss Qi's life. Physical diseases can be cured, but heart disease is difficult to treat. Sheng Aiyi has always been bitter about Song Ziwen's choice. It was not until four years later, 1932, that she married her cousin Zhuang Zhujiu.
Since then, Song Ziwen has always felt guilty about Sheng Aiyi. After having daughters, she embedded the word "H" in their names.
Song Ziwen had three daughters in his life, namely: Song Qiongyi, Song and Song. The names of the three daughters are all taken by Song Ziwen himself, and each name ends with the word "H"; And this word is exactly what Song Ziwen said.
Song Qiongyi, 1928, from Shanghai. As the eldest daughter of Song Ziwen, she grew up with a golden key, which can be said to be born with wealth.
In this photo, Qiong Yi is such a little princess with a little pride and joy. She wore new shoes and skirts, tied with two braids, smiled and snuggled up to her father Song Ziwen, who was wearing a suit and tie.
Song Qiongyi received a good education since he was a child, but he was a little special when he was a child. Instead of going to school, he studied at home. He asked the teacher to tutor, learn English in the morning and Chinese in the afternoon. Because a child was kidnapped at that time, Song Ziwen thought it was too dangerous, so he let his three daughters study writing at home. Sometimes they are allowed to play in the garden at home and always accompanied by a guard when they go out, so Song Ziwen can rest assured.
1937, 9-year-old Song Qiongyi left Shanghai, went to Hong Kong first, and then went to the United States to study. After studying in the United States, Song Qiong spent most of her time keeping in touch with her family by writing letters.
Around 1948 and 1949, Song Qiong returned to China once. She still remembers that "it was very interesting to drive a jeep on the road in Nanjing" and "there were not many cars on the road in Nanjing at that time, and the road was very wide".
1952, 24-year-old Song Qiongyi married Feng, the grandson of the founder of Shanghai Yongan Company. His father Feng was a friend when he was young. During the Anti-Japanese War, he served as Consul General of China in Kolkata and San Francisco. 1945 Since the end of August, Feng has been the ambassador to Mexico.
Feng received a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MBA from Stanford University. His first job was marketing, and then he started working in an investment bank, which made him a stockbroker. After Song Ziwen died, he helped Song Zian manage the Guangdong banking business in San Francisco, USA.
Feng married Song Qiongyi and had two sons, Feng and Feng. Song Qiongyi is a full-time wife, whose main task is to take care of two brothers. Her mother's specialty is braised pork and hooves.
In addition, as one of the founders and volunteers of the Humanities Society of the China-US Association, Song Qiongyi often goes there to help. "The China-US Association mainly teaches Chinese, cooking and so on. Just like a relatively small school in China, both China people and Americans participate, "said Feng, Song Qiongyi's eldest son.
The best thing Miss Song Qiongyi did was to donate all the files and documents of her father Song Ziwen to historians for study and evaluation, and ask them to restore the history that her father and China experienced. -this requires great courage from the family.
Song, the second daughter of, was born in 1932. She has been as beautiful as a flower since she was a child. She is the most mother-like and the most beautiful of Song Ziwen's three daughters.
She studied in America with her sister Song Qiongyi since childhood. She is also a talented woman. She grew up in the United States, and later developed in Singapore, where she met the most important person in her life, her future "xianggong", and married Mr. Yu, a Chinese businessman in Singapore. The rest of her family is mainly engaged in Chinese herbal medicine business and is a famous rich man in Singapore. After marriage, they settled in Hong Kong and had a son and two daughters. Today, the Yu family is mainly engaged in department store business in Hong Kong.
Song Ziwen's third daughter, Catherine Song, has the same English name as her grandmother Ni Guizhen.
Song Yirui was born in 1936. He is the youngest of Song Ziwen's three daughters. He has lived with his parents since he was a child. Because he is the youngest child in the family, he is very popular with Song Ziwen. Song Yirui is the purest of Song Ziwen's three daughters. Although she looks not as good as her second sister, she is also a proper white rich beauty. When I grew up, I went to Boston to study. 1954 I married Arthur S.Young, a wealthy Filipino overseas Chinese, in new york. Yang's family is a well-known family in the Philippines and a well-known wealthy businessman in the Philippines. His family is mainly engaged in automobile business, and has frequent cooperation with American General Motors.
Yang, who graduated from the University of Michigan, returned to the Philippines to take care of the cooperation between Yang's family and General Motors in the Philippines.
Yang's great grandfather, Yang, moved to the Philippines from Fujian in the late Qing Dynasty and founded Ruilongxing Iron Industry. Yang gave the company to his eldest son, and he passed it on to his uncle Kai Tai and his father Kai Xiang. Yang Qitai was the chairman of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and also served as the chairman of Zhongzheng Middle School and Philippine Bank of Communications. During the Japanese occupation, he was placed under house arrest by the Japanese army. After the war, he became rich by acting as an agent and producing American General Motors. In recent years, Yang's automobile business has ended, and Ruilongxing has turned to focus on information technology. Although the scale of Yangjiaye is not what it used to be, it is still a famous family in the Philippines because of the reproduction of its relatives.
Song and Yang mainly settled in the Philippines after their marriage. They have four children, two men and two women, and now their descendants have been living in the Philippines.
On the whole, Song Ziwen's three daughters live happily. They all received the most advanced education of that era, and what is more commendable is that as Song Ziwen's daughter, their lives are very low-key.
