Song Meiling Later, when someone commented on the love between Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling, he said that Chiang Kai-shek had adopted a political marriage in order to climb the power, and he also resolutely abandoned his ex-wife, thus attacking Chiang Kai-shek by hook or by crook for the Rightists.
And all this is what Chiang Kai-shek appreciates most, so even if Song Meiling's family background is excluded, I'm afraid Chiang Kai-shek will choose to marry her. What man wouldn't want to marry such a like-minded and talented wife? Therefore, after Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling met at that party, they launched a massive search for the famous Miss Song Jiasan.
Because Chiang Kai-shek was ten years older than Song Meiling and had been married three times, Song Meiling was unwilling to face Chiang Kai-shek's pursuit at first.
But Chiang Kai-shek also had his own way, that is, with the help of his sister and brother, he went to Japan to meet his mother first, presented gifts and divorce papers to his two wives, proved that he divorced his two ex-wives in order to marry his daughter, and allowed Song's mother to participate in Christianity, trying to learn Christian teachings, and then sent Chen Jieru to the United States for further study. In this way, he won the consent of Song Meiling under some kind of seeking offensive.
Song Meiling's bad habit, Chiang Kai-shek, finally got married with Song Meiling in the Song Garden in Shanghai through his own efforts. Although Chiang Kai-shek has been sorry for three women in a row on the road of seeking Song Meiling, he can marry such a beautiful woman. I am afraid that as a man, Chiang Kai-shek is also throwing caution to the wind.
Many years later, in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Song Meiling assisted Chiang Kai-shek to mediate among the Allies and dealt with many thorny problems. In this regard, Chiang Kai-shek once showed his appreciation: "The talent of the lady is better than that of the 20 th Army strategist." It can be seen that Song Meiling's talent and talent are worthy of the reputation as the first lady of the Republic of China. Only from this point of view, I'm afraid Chiang Kai-shek's first three wives can't be compared together.
However, no one is perfect. As a woman, Song Meiling has her own shortcomings, even some bad habits in daily life, even though she is a combination of virtue and beauty. One of the bad habits is that most men can't stand it, that is, smoking, and smoking addiction is still very heavy.
It is a big defect for women to smoke, even in the eyes of men nowadays. Especially in high society, female smoking not only affects her decent image, but also affects her skin color. Together, women who are covered in alcohol and tobacco always give people a sense of immorality, which is very demeaning.
However, regarding Song Meiling's smoking, Chiang Kai-shek blamed himself instead of him after learning the outline. Why? The reason is that after War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the National Government moved to Chongqing, because Chongqing is located in the southwest and the climate is hot and humid, which made Song Meiling unaccustomed. He also contracted a skin disease, itchy all over, and lost his vitality.
One day, she was itchy and miserable. She just saw a pack of cigarettes on the maid and was about to smoke one. She found it really much better, so miserable before. So from then on, Song Meiling first used cigarettes to relieve her discomfort with the environment, water and soil. She became addicted to cigarettes overnight and became heavier and heavier.
A strange way of cohabitation, but because I married myself, as the wife of a national leader, when the nation was in danger, I not only had to move to Chongqing with my husband, but also lived in an unaccustomed environment and faced the Japanese bombing for three days, which made Chiang Kai-shek feel guilty about Song Meiling.
Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek, who never smoked in his life, only persuaded Song Meiling to quit smoking at first, but later saw that she couldn't quit.
However, after repeated persuasion failed, Chiang Kai-shek also acquiesced in his wife's habits. At ordinary times, Chiang Kai-shek would never allow anyone to smoke in front of him, and Song Meiling also hid in the study to smoke, but the husband and wife were not completely isolated. Chiang Kai-shek even ordered the cigarette factory to produce her favorite cigarettes for Song Meiling. Chiang Kai-shek has been tolerating it for more than 30 years. Perhaps this is his preference.
Chiang Kai-shek also tried his best to be tolerant of Japanese law. For example, because of the rich background of rich children, Song Meiling has been pampered since childhood. Even in the hard years of the Anti-Japanese War, she only ate western food and drank some red wine from time to time.
As the leader of a country at that time, Chiang Kai-shek had to fight for the survival of the country, and it was necessary to be strict with himself in daily life. He always eats Chinese food, and most of it is superficial. Even in a restaurant, you only drink one glass of wine when necessary, and you don't even drink tea in your daily life, just drink white water.
This makes the husband and wife disagree in many places, but in the face of these, Chiang Kai-shek also has his own way, that is, each eats his own food and seeks common ground while reserving differences in life. As we all know, Song Meiling's family is rich, so living in luxury is also her personal behavior. As long as Chiang Kai-shek does what he asks, his image will not be affected, and he can still set an example for the whole party and army.
