Let's talk about Song Meiling.

Song Meiling (1897~23) was a legendary woman in the modern history of China. Her life spanning three centuries, as well as her family background, growth experience, especially her marriage and political achievements, are full of legends.

Song Meiling was born into a wealthy and enlightened family at the end of the 19th century, which made her accept the traditional culture of China and the modern culture of the West. In her later role as the "First Lady", she often looked like a graceful, virtuous and enlightened traditional lady in China, but her pioneering spirit was reflected in her thoughts and actions. Therefore, some people call her an important bridge between Chinese and western cultures in the first half of the 2th century.

Song Meiling studied in the United States for ten years, during which she had a strong desire to transform China. This desire made her choose to pursue power and marry Chiang Kai-shek. Through the marriage between Chiang and Song, the Kong-Song consortium and Chiang Kai-shek's regime were linked together, forming the political and economic alliance of the three families of Jiang, Song and Kong, and then forming the four families that ruled China for 22 years. As the "first lady", Song Meiling was more enthusiastic about participating in politics than other first ladies, and became Chiang Kai-shek's right-hand man in internal affairs, diplomacy, military affairs, education and culture.

After the Xi 'an Incident, Song Meiling actively rescued Chiang Kai-shek. Not only that, but Song Meiling showed unprecedented patriotic enthusiasm in the eight years of anti-Japanese war, which is beyond doubt: she called on women all over the country to resist Japan and support the front line, and she personally went to the front line to express her condolences to the officers and men when she was injured ... All these performances were outstanding "women leaders" at that time.

In diplomacy, Song Meiling was all-powerful. He visited India in 1942 and made a splash at the Cairo Conference in 1943, and became the spokesman of the Chinese nation's anti-aggression war for a while. Moreover, she has been selected as one of the top ten most popular women in the world by Time magazine for more than 2 years.

In numerous historical facts, it is not difficult to see that Song Meiling is indeed a patriot, and he has been opposed to splitting China since the 195s. However, after all, she has her own history and class limitations. On behalf of the interests of the four families, she had to oppose the masses of the people, and she spared no effort to oppose her husband's * * *, and she had done acts that were unforgivable. It can be said that everything she did was to maintain the rule of the Chiang family dynasty. On top of patriotism, she loved her family more. Undeniably, in the process of "loving her family", she did make indelible contributions to the Japanese imperialist aggression and the Chinese nation.
