The postal department is not an ordinary unit, but a large unit composed of the State Railway Administration, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Telecommunication Network and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. Sheng Xuanhuai was the largest leading cadre in the postal department, while Sheng Xuanhuai made his fortune by Li Hongzhang, and later became a big political and business figure in the late Qing Dynasty. So what about Sheng Xuanhuai's descendants?
Sheng Xuanhuai was a famous political businessman in the late Qing Dynasty and made outstanding contributions to the commercial service industry in China.
Sheng Xuanhuai was born in Changzhou. When he was 16 years old, the Taiping Army attacked Changzhou, fled around with his father Kang Sheng, and then went to live in Hubei. After the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, Kang Sheng returned to Changzhou with his child Sheng Xuanhuai. Sheng Xuanhuai served as a think tank (chief of staff) in the shogunate of Li Hongzhang, which won Li Hongzhang's esteem. Later, he became Li Hongzhang's most effective assistant in setting up the Westernization School. In addition, Sheng Xuanhuai also helped Li Hongzhang to do many important things, such as opening China Commercial Bank, Han Jing Railway, Nanyang College (predecessor of Shanghai Jiaotong University) and Beiyang University Hall (now Nankai University). , and created the eleven firsts in China, which means that the items 1 1 were all founded by Sheng Xuanhuai.
It is not difficult to see that Sheng Xuanhuai has made great achievements in commercial banking, training and mining, and called China, an excellent technology imported from western countries, "the originator of business services in China". However, the good times did not last long. Later, he changed the private school railway line into a state-owned system, which contradicted the regional rights and interests, triggered the road protection movement and accelerated the national subjugation of the Qing Empire.
Therefore, Sheng Xuanhuai became the scapegoat of the Qing court, and the whole country called for the execution of Sheng Xuanhuai. The Qing court reported this work and concluded that Sheng Xuanhuai was not dead and could not quell public anger. Sheng Xuanhuai fled to Japan after learning about it. After the abdication of the Qing Emperor, Sheng Xuanhuai returned to Shanghai at the invitation of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, who had supported his great cause.
Sheng Xuanhuai
Sheng Xuanhuai has eight children.
Sheng Xuanhuai married three wives in turn and gave birth to eight children. None of the three sons born by the first wife lived long. The second and third children died young, and the eldest only lived to be 46 years old. The second wife has only one daughter. Three wives gave birth to two sons, Taiyuan died early, and Sheng was a well-known playboy. The eighth son, Sheng Junyi, was born in the side room and died young.
Sheng Changyi was born in Hubei Province. When Sheng Changyi was four years old, he followed his father Sheng Xuanhuai back to his hometown Changzhou to live and live. When Sheng Changyi was fifteen, his mother died tragically. In the later years of the Qing court, the political situation was quite turbulent. Sheng Changyi took the lead and went to North Korea to serve the motherland at the first time. Sheng Changyi took part in the imperial examination as a scholar, and successively served as the alternate road in Hubei Province and the county magistrate of De 'anfu (starting from the fourth grade). After Sheng Xuanhuai opened China Commercial Bank, Sheng Changyi was hurt by his father and founded the financial institution of Henan merchants. However, Sheng Changyi died only one year after the establishment of Yushang Financial Institution. He was only 46 years old when he died.
Sheng Ian Sheng Ian is Sheng Xuanhuai's favorite child. His name was given by Cixi. After Sheng Xuanhuai died, he gave the Suzhou Garden to his fourth son, Sheng Ian. Sheng studied in the United States and Britain in his early years. She was a famous playboy and later married the daughter of Sun Baoqi, the president of the Republic of China. Sheng was spoiled from childhood and developed the bad habit of extravagance and waste. He saves money for pleasure. As we all know, in Shanghai, because he ranks fourth, his license plate number is four "4", and his nickname is Sheng Laosi.
Sheng Laosi returned a villa and an imported luxury car to every little wife, and sent a large number of nannies to wait on them. Sheng Xuanhuai's first three sons all died young, so he had high expectations for his fourth son and planted it carefully, but the children dawdled and played all day. After the end of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Sheng was so poor that he didn't even have the money to buy tickets for the ecological park. Sheng stayed in Suzhou and died at the age of 66. Sheng Chongyi, the fifth son, is the most stable child in Sheng Xuanhuai. He sticks to his ancestral business and has little contact with politics. Later, he inherited a villa in Shanghai from his father.
After the end of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Sheng Chongyi went to Hong Kong to do business and closed down in less than two years. Poor in his later years, he died in Hongkong, China. Sheng was born to Mrs. Liu, the side room of Sheng Xuanhuai, and later married the daughter of a famous strategist. Sheng has a close relationship with Kong Xiangxi, the finance minister of Kuomintang. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Sheng served as the director of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui Taxation Bureau of the Kuomintang, in charge of the tax power in the south of the Yangtze River. He is a key figure in Kong Xiangxi school.

Later, he started a business in Japan, founded distinctive restaurants and delicacies, which were loved by local people and successfully introduced Japanese cuisine to Japan.

He usually wears a cloth and a towel, which is the envy of everyone. Sheng is very concerned about the basic education in China. He set up an academic scholarship in Shanghai Jiaotong University to encourage students to study hard, and supported the establishment of a lingering garden in the new teaching area of Shanghai Jiaotong University, which contributed to the basic education in China.
