Long silence has become history. Under the surging revolutionary wave, a magnificent "red love" was washed out.

"Sincerity and happiness are the same, and so is fate." This is a love poem he wrote to her, and it is also an oath to support their lifelong pursuit of ideals, so that these two great names, Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching Ling, will never give up and go down in history forever.

On August 19 13, Soong Ching Ling landed in Yokohama, Japan. She graduated from American Wesleyan Women's College and came to Japan to reunite with her father Song Jiashu and her sister Song Ailing. The next day, accompanied by her father and sister, she met the revolutionary leader she had admired for a long time in Sun Yat-sen's apartment. It was the first time that she met Sun Yat-sen as an adult, and it was this opportunity that decided her life.

She greeted Sun Yat-sen with admiration and reverence, and gave him a box of California fruits and a personal letter from a revolutionary sympathizer. At that time, Sun Yat-sen's second revolution failed, and the revolutionary cause led by Sun Yat-sen was in trouble. Many revolutionaries are either demoralized or surrender and split. There aren't many comrades around, so Song Jiashu asked his eldest daughter Song Ailing to help him with the English translation.

Soong Ching Ling, 2 1 year-old, was influenced and edified by Song Jiashu and Sun Yat-sen's patriotic revolutionary thoughts since childhood. She has just graduated from college and will return to China soon. She has a secret in her heart. She only felt that the China Revolution was calling her.

Once, Soong Ching Ling suddenly asked Song Ailing unconsciously, "Does Premier Sun need the help of a secretary?"

"yes! If you really want to be his secretary, I think you can. " Song Ailing stared at her brooding sister and then said slowly, "Not long ago, he was looking for talents. What he wants is not an ordinary secretary, but a secretary who can help him write letters and prepare books. ..... Do you want to ask your father to speak for you? " "ok." Soong Ching Ling said, "I think I will do whatever he wants me to do. And it will definitely be very pleasant to do. "

According to the records of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Soong Ching Ling met with Sun Yat-sen eight times within half a month after meeting him in September 16. The work she did to help Sun Yat-sen was to strive for freedom and happiness for the people, and she fully understood Sun Yat-sen's inner enthusiasm.

But the reality before us is so grim. Not only the achievements of the Revolution of 1911 were plundered by Yuan Shikai, a national thief, but also the morale of many comrades was low and the revolutionary forces were scattered. It was really even more difficult for Sun Yat-sen to be wanted. Soong Ching Ling met Sun Yat-sen several times, but she couldn't hold back, was exhausted and was terminally ill. Although she is still a young girl, she immediately felt obligated to help. She said to herself, "I can help China, and I can also help Mr. Sun. He needs me. "

1965438+In September 2004, Song Ailing went to Shanghai to marry Kong Xiangxi, and Soong Ching Ling took over from her sister and officially became Sun Yat-sen's political secretary.

Soong Ching Ling intended to visit her relatives in Shanghai, but she stayed in Japan for a long time. Even Song Meiling, who is studying in the United States, is puzzled.

She told Sun Yat-sen to come again in two or three months. Soong Ching Ling stared at Sun Yat-sen: "There is one thing I need to know. Will you stay with me forever? " ? I know you were married, but that was in the past and has nothing to do with the present. ..... As for regret, I remember hearing you say when I was a child:' If I don't live for a great cause, then my life is meaningless'. When I was a little girl, I dreamed of helping millions of people one day and becoming part of a great cause. Now I just need to know one thing. Do you want me to be your revolutionary partner and help you with your revolutionary work forever? "

Soong Ching Ling looked at Sun Yat-sen affectionately, waiting for his answer. She found his eyes full of sincere feelings, but still sad.

"Qingling, I am not worth your consideration. I am old and you are young ... ""But what about the revolution? " Soong Ching Ling asked.

"It needs everyone of all ages." Sun Yat-sen waved his hand and continued: "But Qingling, I know what kind of person you are. You are too brave to sacrifice yourself. You used to be like this. I heard from your father. ..... Qingling, lovely child, I don't know what to say. You know my heart. "

"Your heart?" Soong Ching Ling looked at Sun Yat-sen kindly and said with relief, "You need me, so everything is enough. I am very happy. My life is very clear and simple. "

"But, Qingling!" Sun Yat-sen held her hand and said in a hurry, "You must get your parents' consent. I can't be sorry for you and them. "

Soong Ching Ling sighed: "I will tell them, but now everything has been decided."

Sun Yat-sen still said that only parents can decide, but Soong Ching Ling insisted: "Now it can be said that everything is decided."

Sun Yat-sen took a deep breath and held Soong Ching Ling in his arms. Her head rested on his shoulder. Finally, Sun Yat-sen proposed to get the parents' consent.

1965438+In June 2005, Soong Ching Ling returned to her home in Shanghai. She told her parents her wish to combine with Sun Yat-sen, which shocked them greatly. Her father just told him to wait and ask about the situation, but her mother firmly opposed it and there was no room for discussion. They agreed that this marriage was extremely inappropriate, and pointed out that the age gap between the two sides was too big, and the Sun family had a wife and three children opposed it. They unanimously persuaded Soong Ching Ling to give up this unrealistic idea and put pressure on her to put her under house arrest. Soong Ching Ling was not influenced by the opinions and pressures of her relatives at all. She firmly stated her opinion and pointed out that Sun Yat-sen's great revolutionary cause needed herself. She is willing to live with him and help him with his work. In a letter to her brothers and sisters, she made it clear: "My only happiness is working with Dr. Sun. I am willing to do everything for him, pay all the costs and sacrifices ... "

What especially made Soong Ching Ling unbearable was that the whole family not only opposed her marrying Sun Yat-sen, put her under house arrest, but also hastily chose another husband for her. Forced to leave without saying goodbye, Soong Ching Ling walked out of the window with the help of the maid and sneaked back to Japan, fulfilling her great wish.

Sun Yat-sen was deeply moved by this incident. After careful consideration, he finally made up his mind to divorce his ex-wife Lu Muzhen from Macau to Tokyo and prepare to marry Soong Ching Ling. At that time, Mrs Maywood told him that Soong Ching Ling, who was the same age as her father and daughter, was going to die, but Sun Yat-sen said, "If I can marry her, I won't regret it even if I die the next day." Moved by his true feelings, Meiwu and his wife decided to arrange their marriage.

During this period, this marriage was also opposed by most of Sun Yat-sen's relatives and comrades. Before they got married, the comrades of the revolutionary party held a meeting to discuss and sent representatives to "persuade" Sun to cancel the plan, but Sun Yat-sen rudely said to them, "I invited you to talk about state affairs, not my family's private affairs." Sun Yat-sen ignored all obstacles and public opinion. He said frankly to some comrades who opposed his marriage with Soong Ching Ling: "I am not a god, I am a human being, and I cannot be dominated by old social habits." He said without hesitation, "I love my country, and I love Soong Ching Ling." These heartfelt words show a revolutionary's open, frank and responsible attitude towards love and marriage.

The strongest opposition is Soong Ching Ling's parents. After discovering that her daughter had escaped, she and her wife Ni rushed to Tokyo angrily, but it was too late. The wedding of Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching Ling had already been held. According to Meiwu Zhuang Ji's daughter, Song Jiashu stood at the door and shouted angrily, "I want to see the Prime Minister who took my daughter!" ! Mr. and Mrs. Meiwu are very worried. They were about to go out to persuade Song Jiashu when Sun Yat-sen stopped them and said, "No, this is my business". He walked slowly to the door and stood on the steps. He said firmly, "What can I do for you?" Song Jiashu suddenly became furious and knelt down and said, "Mr. Sun, please give me back my unruly daughter. Please take good care of her! " Then I bumped my head on the steps at the door, and my head was about to rub on the ground. In this way, he went back

19 15 years1October 24th, Soong Ching Ling returned to Tokyo, and the next day, 654381October 25th, Soong Ching Ling, aged 22, and Sun Yat-sen, aged 49, officially registered to get married. In the morning, they went to the home of Tian Rui, a famous Japanese lawyer, to go through the formalities and held a wedding. In the afternoon, a simple tea party was held at the home of Japanese friend Miwu Zhuang Ji to entertain some friends from China and Japan. Then, they returned to their new home, Qingshan's original residence 109.

They listened to the marriage certificate and Tian Rui's suggestion, and wrote the wedding date as 26 in their wedding vows to get the meaning of good luck. On the second day of marriage, Soong Ching Ling devoted herself to the intense work of translating passwords for Sun Yat-sen and handling English letters.

Soong Ching Ling wrote to her American classmates: "The simpler the wedding, the better, because neither of us likes redundant ceremonies. I am very happy. I want to help my husband communicate in English as much as possible. My French has made great progress. I can read French newspapers recently and translate them briefly. Therefore, I believe you can understand that for me, marriage seems to be going to school again except for the nerve-racking exam. "

Similarly, Sun Yat-sen was extremely satisfied with his married life. In his letter to his teacher, Mr. Condley, an Englishman, he wrote: "My wife is a woman with an American university education and the daughter of my earliest collaborator and comrade-in-arms. I started a new life, which is a real family life I have never enjoyed. How happy I am to live with my intimate friends and assistants! "

The combination of Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching Ling is an important event in the modern revolutionary history of China. It had a great influence on the revolutionary career of Sun Yat-sen and Song Dynasty, and the years since then proved that this marriage was of positive and far-reaching significance to Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary activities in the last 10 year. For Soong Ching Ling's revolutionary life, it has always been a great driving force. This couple can really be called great revolutionary mandarin ducks.

Soong Ching Ling has always cherished the day when she married Sun Yat-sen. Even after more than 60 years, recalling this day, she still said excitedly: "65438+1October 25th, this day is more important than my birthday in my life."
