Sun Dianying was born in a poor peasant family, because his father died young, which led to Sun Dianying's extreme personality. He worked as a ringleader and warlord, but later failed. He took refuge in Jiang Zhongzheng and became the commander of the No.1 12 Army of the National Revolutionary Army.
At that time, the team he led happened to be near the Qing Dongling, which was the mausoleum of the Qing emperor and contained many funerary objects. Looking at these valuable funerary objects, Sun Dianying was moved. Because Sun Dianying's military expenditure is basically prepared by himself, he must want to seize such a good opportunity.
Sun Dianying surrounded the Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty in the name of military exercises, and sent many cars in the name of transporting food. In this way, all the funerary objects of the Qing Dongling were pulled to their barracks, which is said to have been pulled for three days and three nights in a row. It was soon known to others. At that time, Puyi was very angry when he learned about it. He found Jiang Zhongzheng and demanded that Sun Dianying be severely punished.
After Sun Dianying became rich, he had a wide network of contacts, and this matter was dropped in the future. With this money, Sun Dianying's career was very smooth, and it was not until the arrival of the People's Liberation Army that Sun Dianying was taken into custody. However, due to the credit of the Anti-Japanese War, the state did not pursue his previous theft of the Dongling Mausoleum, but also helped him spend the rest of his life.
Sun Dianying's son, Sun Tianyi, was born after he stole the Qing Dongling, so he didn't know much about it. Sun Tianyi loved reading since he was a child. Even during the Cultural Revolution, he never gave up reading. Later, he became a professor in a foreign language school in Xi. In order to revitalize the culture of the Chinese nation, he also actively founded the Huangdi Mausoleum Foundation and was elected as its president.
