Xiong Xiling, a "Yuefu" and Xiong Xiling, 66, from Mao Yanwen, actually married Mao Yanwen, 33.

From the establishment of "Celebrity Cabinet" in September of 19 13 to its downfall in February of 19 14, Premier Xiong Xiling was really wronged in the past six months. On the one hand, he was criticized by the world; On the other hand, he was angry with Yuan Shikai and decided to quit the officialdom. Xiong Xiling may not be a great politician, but he is definitely an admirable philanthropist. In his later years, he devoted himself to education and charity, founded Xiangshan Kindergarten in Beijing, adopted street children who dropped out of school, and trained a large number of talents for the country and the people. He also served as the president of the China Federation of the World Scarlet Letter Society and donated all his property to charity.

Leave politics and join charity.

After the fall of Beiyang government, Xiong Xiling also withdrew from politics and devoted himself to charity. During the Republic of China, warlords scuffled. In the event of natural disasters, people will fall into greater difficulties. Disaster relief has become an important part of charity in Xiong Xiling. Whenever there is a disaster somewhere, Xiong Xiling will try his best to rescue them. When Shunzhi presided over the disaster relief. ), disaster relief in five northern provinces, charity relief in Hunan and a series of large-scale disaster relief activities.

19 17 in late summer and early autumn, heavy rains and flash floods occurred in Hebei, 100 flooded more than 6 million counties and affected more than 6 million people. However, in this disaster relief activity, the Beiyang government ignored people's life and death, was busy fighting for power and profit, and allocated extremely limited disaster relief funds. However, Xiong Xiling sent the message "Please help the victims in Tianjin" to the whole country, and donated 100 sets of old clothes to the victims at home, in addition to 500 yuan. Within ten days, all walks of life donated more than 33,000 sets of old clothes and trousers/kloc-0, and the amount of assistance reached 2 million yuan. He also joined Liang Qichao, Fan Yuanlian, Wang Daxue and others to launch a flood relief meeting of "raising money, selling tickets and giving tickets", and personally borrowed millions of yuan from foreign companies as special relief funds. In addition, Xiong Xiling also requested Tangshan, Kailuan and other mining bureaus to donate 5,000 tons of coal mines, and asked the Beiyang government to provide many conveniences for disaster relief. Due to this situation, the Beiyang government was forced to respond and implemented the work-for-relief plan, saving 5 million victims. This is the famous direct disaster relief.

In Xiong Xiling's contribution to charity, Xiangshan Kindergarten is undoubtedly the most dazzling one. 19 17, the Women's Red Cross Society headed by Xiong Xiling's wife Zhu and the Relief Society of five northern provinces jointly established a temporary rehabilitation center for children in the disaster area in Langjia Hutong, Beijing, with more than 300 boys and girls. 1920 after the rescue work was completed, more than 100 children were taken away by their parents and more than 200 children were unclaimed. Therefore, Xiong Xiling decided to establish a child-friendly home to "educate poor boys and girls who are out of school, so that they can have proper intelligence and morality and make a living in society." This is the origin of the famous Xiangshan kindergarten in Beijing.

Under the auspices of Xiong Xiling, Xiangshan Ciyou Children's Hospital advocates the educational concept of "trinity" of school, family and society, that is, children can not only live in the hospital, but also receive corresponding education and training to master some life skills. In the 1920s and 1930s, the education model of Xiangshan Ciyou Hospital achieved remarkable results. According to a newspaper report at that time, in early July, 1929, an American journalist delegation visited Xiangshan Children's Hospital and praised it as "worse than the American-run baby school", hoping that its founder would "make continuous efforts and become a model of baby education in the world in the future."

In the process of running a school, Xiong Xiling sincerely regarded himself as the father of a poor child. In order to run Xiangshan Kindergarten well, he devoted himself to creating songs and slogans, taking care of every child in the school and running around to raise funds. 1932 He donated all his property to charity to help children.

Married classmates

Xiong Xiling married Liao's wife, Zhu's wife, Zhu's wife, Zhu's wife. Liao, a native of Zhenyuan, Guizhou, 1895 died of lung disease. As mentioned earlier, after Liao's death, his teacher Zhu married his sister to Xiong Xiling. They have a son and two daughters. After Xiangshan Kindergarten was founded, Zhu helped her husband to set up civilian education and died on 193 1. Xiong Xiling has deep feelings for Zhu. He was heartbroken after his wife died of illness. With a long beard, he personally wrote "Mrs. Xiong's Notes" in memory of his wife. Xiong Xiling's third wife, Mao Yanwen, was a talented woman in the Republic of China. She was born 1898 in a gentry family in Jiangshan County, Zhejiang Province. She studied in the English Department of Beijing Women's Normal University, 1925 graduated from Nanjing Jinling Women's University, and 1929 went to the University of Michigan to study for a master's degree. After returning to China, he taught at Fudan University and Jinan University in Shanghai. Mao Yanwen was very independent in his early years. /kloc-at the age of 0/6, she left home for her childhood cousin and taught her to study abroad, but she was finally abandoned. From then on, Wu Mi, a great genius, was loved for many years, but she lost confidence in love and never accepted Wu Mi's love until she was single in her thirties.

Speaking of the fate between Mao Yanwen and Xiong Xiling, it can be traced back to her middle school days. In the early 1920s, Mao Yanwen studied in Beijing Women's Normal School. She is a classmate of Xiong Xiling and has a good relationship with Xiong Xiling's nieces Zhu and Zhu. At that time, Zhu's sisters lived at home, so they often went to Xiongfu. However, when Mao Yanwen saw Xiong Xiling, he respectfully called uncle. Neither of them expected to become partners at that time.

In the book Mountains and Rivers of the Republic of China, the writer Zhang Changhua described in detail his pursuit of Xiong Xiling for more than ten years: from 65438 to 0934, Xiong Xiling went to Shanghai and lived in Zhujiajian Island. Out of courtesy, Zhu was invited to visit his brother Xiong Xiling. Later, Zhu went to Fudan to chat with him, and finally showed everyone the story of his proposal on behalf of his uncle. Mao Yanwen was shocked: "How is that possible? Different generations, your uncle and I are both called old men, and the age difference is too big. " Refused. The next day, Xiong Xiling went to Fudan and made an appointment with Mao Yanwen. At the same time, he stepped up his offensive almost every day, writing letters or writing lyrics to give gifts. Zhu, also known as Xiong Zhi, is the eldest daughter of Xiong Xiling. Xiong Zhi came to Shanghai from Beijing when she was five or six months pregnant. She proposed to her on behalf of her father: "Have pity on me. You see how hard it is to come to Shanghai from Beiping with such a big belly. " I'm here to welcome you to our family. "Friends and relatives from all directions also earnestly advised, which made Mao Yanwen lose his head. Under great pressure, Mao Yanwen finally agreed after two months.

On February 9th, 1935, Xiong Xiling and Mao Yanwen walked hand in hand on the red carpet of Shanghai Ouli Concert Hall. This incident has become a big news in the society. Shanghai Shen Bao made a long report on Xiong Xiling's Music for Burning. Shanghai celebrities include Huangfu, Li Shiceng, Zhang, Du and Mei Lanfang.

Xiong Xiling is calm in the face of all kinds of disputes in the world. When he was invited to report the love story of the couple, he said, "The bride used to call me an old man. I proposed to her this time. She also used different generations as an excuse. Our combination is entirely for the cause. " After decades of marriage, Mao Yanwen devoted herself to her husband's charity.

Mao Yanwen recalled in his later years: "We were together all day. If you don't see me, you must call. You must be by his side. You can't be tired all day. You can't talk to each other endlessly. This is the case with this loving young couple. " "It makes me intoxicated and makes me happy." During the honeymoon, Xiong Xiling wrote "Lotus Lake Twin Deer Map" for Mao Yanwen, with an inscription, meaning "* * * to spend a lifetime together".

Invited by Shen Honglie to Qingdao.

Mao Yanwen's "Past" records that in the summer of 25 years of the Republic of China, china charity federation held an annual meeting in Qingdao. We came from Beiping and were warmly received by Shen Honglie, Mayor of Qingdao. So, after the annual meeting, I will stay in the summer. "

According to Lu Hai, Xiong Xiling and his wife visited their old friend Kong, who lives in Qingdao. After meeting, the group visited Laoshan Villa. Xiong Xiling liked Kong's villa very much and asked him to build one for himself. During the visit, the bears were also treated by the mayor, who arranged for them to visit Hui Quan, Laoshan and other places. The beautiful scenery and cool summer in Qingdao left a deep impression on them, and they also had a good impression on Qingdao.

As early as May of 193 1, Qingdao established the "Qingdao Rescue Center" at No.63, Shanghai Road, which belongs to the Municipal Social Security Bureau. The whole hospital is divided into homes for the disabled, orphanages, nurseries, Ji Liang, rental houses, medical and artistic institutions. Among them, kindergartens, as a charity for adopting abandoned babies in society, stipulate that those who find abandoned babies in the street and send them to kindergartens will be given rewards from 2 yuan, and those over 40 who have no children can adopt children from kindergartens. But the workhouse is always short of funds. From 65438 to 0936, the government allocated several properties to shelters for rent, and the rent was used to maintain operations. In view of this, Qingdao and Xiangshan Kindergarten have the potential for cooperative development in early childhood education. Teacher Xiong Xiling decided to launch a pilot project to popularize early childhood education in Qingdao.

Raise funds to build Qingdao Red Ball Club.

According to Mao Yanwen's "Past", at the end of April, at the invitation of Qingdao Mayor Shen Honglie, Beiping went to Qingdao to raise money for Qingdao, and jointly organized a nursery with Xiangshan Ciyuan. Bing intends to live in Qingdao for a long time, so he chooses to rent a house. Fushan Bypass 12, facing the East China Sea, with blue sky and clear water, red tiles and green trees, is a family resort. "

After coming to the Qing Dynasty, Xiong Xiling immediately set out to prepare for the construction. Unfortunately, the address is located in Shanghai Road, and the Lugouqiao incident broke out before the construction began. Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China and soon occupied Beiping and Tianjin. The invading army went south, and Qingdao was in danger. In this bad situation, Xiong Xiling and Mao Yanwen had to take a boat from Qingdao to Shanghai on July 2 1 day. Then, the "August 13th" Sino-Japanese War broke out, and Xiong Xiling led the people to carry out rescue work and organized personnel to take in refugees. Later, Shanghai fell and Xiong Xiling moved to Hong Kong. After arriving in Hongkong, Xiong Xiling continued to raise money for the Anti-Japanese War despite his advanced age. He had a sudden stroke and could not be cured. Xiong Xiling, a 67-year-old teacher, died in Hongkong on February 25th.

It is worth mentioning that although there is no kindergarten in Qingdao, Xiong Xiling left another building in Qingdao-the former site of Qingdao Hongwanzi Guild Hall, which is now Qingdao Art Museum. Because he is the president of China Federation of the World Red Cross Society, when he first came to Qingdao, he saw that the Red Cross Society of Qingdao was located in Xintai Road, and the scale was too small, so he suggested building a new site. Land transfer on both sides of Qingdao River in Shen Honglie. Xiong Xiling 1936 came to Qingdao to help raise funds, and this landmark building of University Road was built.
