197 1 February, Chiang Kai-shek, who was 84 years old at that time, received a letter from Hong Kong. His handwriting is the familiar scroll embroidery font. The content of the letter is very short, but full of bitterness: "For more than 30 years, my grievances are only known to Jun, but I have always endured the greatest self-sacrifice to safeguard the reputation of Jun and other countries.
For Chiang Kai-shek, the writer's grievances are not surprising. Because he caused all this. But to his surprise, it was the last time in his life that he received a letter from this man on the other side of the strait, because on February 2 1 of this year, this man left Chiang Kai-shek forever. Separated from 1949, really dead, never met again.
The writer is Chiang Kai-shek's third woman, Chen Jieru. Shortly after the letter was sent, on February 26th, 2 1, she died alone in her apartment at the age of 65. Four years later, the only man she loved, hated and never forgot in her life passed away. Maybe the love and hate between them will end with the end of life.
fall in love at first sight
Chen Jieru was born in 1905, a small businessman's family. My ancestral home is Ningbo, Zhejiang, and I have lived in Shanghai since childhood. 12 years old, her mother sent her to patriotic girls' school to learn cultural knowledge. At school, Chen Jieru made a friend named YiMin Zhu, who was six years older than her, but the two women hit it off and talked about everything. At this time, Chen Jieru never imagined that it was this good friend who indirectly contributed to her lifelong love affair.
Jie Chen Home Inns belong to foreigners in Shanghai, and their roots are not very stable, and there are no friends who know their roots well. Under the introduction of fellow villagers, I got to know Zhang Jingjiang, a big chaebol in Shanghai. Zhang Jingjiang is a brave man and appreciates the Chen family very much, so he has given a lot of help in life and business.
19 18, Zhang Jingjiang's original wife died, and 20-year-old YiMin Zhu became Zhang Jingjiang's new wife. Because of this incident, Chen Jieru was once very sad, fearing that YiMin Zhu would have no time to play with himself after marrying someone else. But YiMin Zhu said that no matter who she is, Chen Jieru will always be her good sister.
One day during the summer vacation, Chen Jieru visited Zhang Jingjiang's house. There are three guests at home, namely Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek and Dai. Zhang Jingjiang introduced the women in the family one by one. After exchanging pleasantries, the men went to the study to talk. At this time, however, Chen Jieru felt his heart pounding and he was about to jump out of his throat.
It turns out that although Chen Jieru was only 14 years old at this time, she looked very mature, tall, well-developed and childlike, like a flower in bud. Chiang Kai-shek, who followed Sun Yat-sen, stayed where he was the first time he saw her. Like an electric shock, his eyes never left.
Chen Jieru, a girl who loves spring, how can she not feel the fiery eyes? I can't help blushing. She was still a little absent-minded when the men went upstairs.
After a long time, Sun Yat-sen and others bid farewell to their master and left. Jie Chen saw that it was time for him to go home, so he got up and left. No sooner had he walked out of Zhang Fu's gate than he saw Chiang Kai-shek waiting there. He was greeted with a smile on his face and asked Chen Jieru's home address.
Chen Jieru naturally knew Chiang Kai-shek's mind, but he felt uncomfortable, so he gave a fake address casually and left in a hurry.
She didn't know that Chiang Kai-shek had recognized love at first sight and vowed not to give up until he reached his goal. He is such a strong and possessive person. How can Chen Jieru, who is only 14 years old, fully understand the turbulent state of this love offensive?
Crazy pursuit
Because Chen Jieru frequented YiMin Zhu's house, Chiang Kai-shek became a frequent visitor to Zhang Jingjiang's house. Here, he can always run into Chen Jieru. Zhang Jingjiang and his wife saw what Chiang Kai-shek meant, so they went to enlighten Chen Jieru and tried to understand and accept Chiang Kai-shek.
Once Chen Jieru and Chiang Kai-shek met again in Zhangjia, but their friends couldn't help. Finally, they agreed to go out for dinner alone with Chiang Kai-shek, which was the 1 date.
But after dinner, Chiang Kai-shek coaxed Chen Jieru into a hotel, locked the door and forced Chen Jieru into his arms. Chen Jieru struggled desperately and shouted, trying to attract the attention of outsiders. Originally, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to bully the weak and be afraid of the hard, and first cooked uncooked rice. I didn't expect this woman to resist so fiercely, and I'm afraid it won't end well if she keeps pushing, so he let go.
Chen Jieru saw Chiang Kai-shek let go, immediately opened the door and ran out, and running all the way went home. Looking at Chiang Kai-shek, he usually looks gentle, but he will do this, and the newly established goodwill will collapse instantly.
However, Chiang Kai-shek vowed not to stop until he achieved his goal. If the hard work failed, he would come to the soft side. He has quietly followed Chen Jieru, knowing that the address obtained in the 1 query is false. After finding out the exact location of Jie Chen Jia Ru, I directly knocked on the door and said to Mu Chen, "I admire your young lady very much and want to make friends with her." Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek was young, Chen's mother rejected him face to face.
But Chiang Kai-shek still refused to give up. He called Chen Jieru's home several times a day, and all he said was an apology, hoping to be forgiven. If the phone was broken, he wrote a letter. In short, Chiang Kai-shek exhausted all his tricks.
Maybe God intended this marriage. 192 1 year, Chen Jieru's father died of a heart attack, which immediately put the family in trouble. Both mother and daughter lost their spiritual and material support and fell into the abyss. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek appeared. He first asked the couple to be Tai Sui, and then personally lobbied Chen's mother.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen expressed some excitement about their mother. Then look at Chiang Kai-shek's surprise at this time. He dressed up as a dutiful son, Dai Xiao, and expressed his condolences to Chen Jieru's father. His expression is both sad and sincere. Although Chen Jieru knew that Chiang Kai-shek was playing tricks, his heart was really relaxed and his mood became complicated. As she said, "I peeked at him and couldn't help but feel heartache."
So, mother Chen agreed to their marriage. 192 1 1 On February 5th, Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jieru held a grand wedding in the banquet hall of Dadong Hotel in Shanghai Yong 'an Building. All the people who can hold the ceremony here are local people with status. The wedding reception lasted for several hours, and finally it was time to enter the bridal chamber. Chiang Kai-shek hugged Chen Jieru gently and whispered in his ear: "Now you are my dearest wife and my favorite person in the world. Dear, with you, I will never fall in love with another woman again. This is my solemn promise to you. "
These words moved Chen Jieru very much. At this point, she has completely handed over her whole body and mind to Chiang Kai-shek. Their married life is also very sweet and happy. Although Jiang Jingguo, the son of Chiang Kai-shek, was only four years younger than Chen Jieru, he politely called Chen Jieru "Shanghai Mother" and Chen Jieru liked Jiang Jingguo very much.
Wherever Chiang Kai-shek went, he took Chen Jieru with him, and they were inseparable. Only when Chiang Kai-shek visited the Soviet Union, Chen Jieru did not accompany him, but in just three months, Chiang Kai-shek wrote seven letters to Chen Jieru, showing the depth of his love.
1924, Chiang Kai-shek became the president of Whampoa Military Academy and took Chen Jieru south to Guangzhou. At this time, Chen Jieru has been in and out of social occasions as "the wife of President Jiang" and "the wife of Commander-in-Chief Jiang", and has been in contact with military and political dignitaries and their wives, which made her famous for a while. This is also the best time in Chen Jieru's life.
A promise to drift with the wind
Happiness always passes quickly. In a blink of an eye, this loving couple has lived together for 7 years. 1927, Chiang Kai-shek wanted to marry in order to get huge financial support from the Song family. Facing the severe political situation, ambitious Chiang Kai-shek would never put his children's affair in the position of 1, not to mention that Song Meiling is a beautiful woman and he has a good impression on the other side. I believe that even if she is ugly, Chiang Kai-shek will choose her.
So he confessed to Chen Jieru, let Chen Jieru know his difficulties, and told her that this is just a plan, which will take some time to complete, but it will never be a lifetime. He hoped that Chen Jieru would consider the overall situation, give in for a few years and give himself a chance to accomplish the great cause.
Chen Jieru was shocked to hear her gentle husband say such a thing. In a rage, she left Chiang Kai-shek and hid in Shanghai.
But Chiang Kai-shek has made up his mind. He went to Shanghai alone to see Chen Jieru's mother and told her mother-in-law frankly about the current situation. He hoped that her mother-in-law could persuade Chen Jieru to complete her political marriage plan together, and promised to resume the relationship with Jeru five years later.
In desperation, we can only compromise.
On August/0/9 of the same year, Chiang Kai-shek arranged for Chen Jieru to leave the United States. Give her a living allowance of 6,543,800 yuan before leaving, encourage her to study hard, and let her better perform the duties of the wife of the commander-in-chief after returning to China in the future. This is obviously an illusory promise, and it also gives Chen Jieru the shackles that he can't untie all his life.
Chen Jieru's cruise ship just pulled out of the shore, and Chiang Kai-shek hastily announced the announcement of Chiang Kai-shek's family here. After arriving in the United States, life in Chen Jieru was once difficult. I wrote several letters to Chiang Kai-shek, hoping to get financial assistance, but Chiang Kai-shek turned a blind eye, didn't write back to her, and didn't send money. Chen Jieru waited, but in the end, his hopes were dashed.
Later, she kept asking YiMin Zhu to convey her thoughts of going home, and said that since the fact of divorcing Chiang Kai-shek had been settled, returning to China would not interfere with his life. "Although I am dead" is her saddest portrayal. Despite this, Chiang Kai-shek still turned a deaf ear and ignored it.
1933, the five-year period has passed, and Chen Jieru can finally return to the motherland. However, her financial problems became the biggest problem. She wrote to Chiang Kai-shek many times and never got a reply. In the end, she only expected fifty thousand dollars from Chiang Kai-shek and said nothing. The affection between husband and wife is over. In the face of Chiang Kai-shek's ruthlessness, Chen Jieru could only give a long sigh, but he didn't want to write to Chiang Kai-shek again.
194 1 year, in order to avoid trouble, Chen Jieru left Shanghai for Chongqing, where he met Chiang Kai-shek again, and there was a period of rekindling old love. But Song Meiling is such a strong woman, how can she tolerate her husband having an affair with his ex-wife? Finally, Chen Jieru quit.
Affectionate and resentful since ancient times.
1949, Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan Province Province, and Chen Jieru decided to stay in Shanghai. Premier Zhou was very concerned about this incident and personally arranged Chen Jieru's life. He made it clear that Chen Jieru didn't want to stay in Shanghai and could arrange for her to go to Hongkong. If she is not used to living in Hong Kong, she can come back at any time. In short, Chen Jieru is free.
From 65438 to 0962, Premier Zhou personally approved Chen Jieru to move to Hong Kong. After learning this, Jiang Jingguo bought an apartment for Chen Jieru to live in after retirement. No one in Hong Kong knows Chen Jieru, and she has never mentioned the past to anyone. She just plays mahjong every day, stays indoors, keeps quiet and doesn't have many friends.
Chiang Kai-shek once wrote a letter to Chen Jieru in Hongkong, which euphemistically expressed his attachment and yearning. However, for Jie Chen, who is old, sick, widowed and helpless, she will never awaken her inner enthusiasm. Even if Chiang Kai-shek accidentally recalls Chen Jieru's sadness, how can he compare with Chen Jieru's lifelong pain?
1971February 2 1 day, a card player from Chen Jieru came to the door and invited him to play mahjong. He knocked at the door repeatedly, but there was no response. He told his neighbors to break into houses and found Chen Jieru lying on the ground dying.
Chen Jieru and Chiang Kai-shek only lived together for seven years, which is not a big proportion in a person's life, but in just seven years, she spent her whole life in mourning. She dedicated the best time of her life to Chiang Kai-shek, and finally ended in a gloomy mood. No one cared, no one cared, and no one even said goodbye to her.
Chen Jieru's life was short of scenery, but he was lonely for most of his life because of his love and hate for this man.
