However, Li Zongren was accompanied by his second wife, Guo Dejie. He left his first wife, Li Xiuwen, and his two sons.
There is no doubt that there is a love-hate relationship between Li Zongren and his two wives.
Behind Li Youlin's words, there are all grievances and pity for his mother's misfortune.
Li Zongren married three wives in his life. The first two wives left him two sons: the eldest son Li Youlin and the second son Li Zhisheng.
Li Zongren's first wife, Li Xiuwen, was also Li Zongren's original wife.
They are both from Lingui District, Guilin, Guangxi.
19 1 1 year, 20-year-old Li Xiuwen married Li Zongren. At that time, Li Zongren was still studying in Guangxi Army College, laying the foundation for making contributions, leaving his wife to honor his parents at home.
At that time, people still insisted that parents were the masters of marriage and accepted the words of matchmakers. There is no emotional foundation between Li Zongren and Li Xiuwen. Coupled with studying abroad, the feelings of the young couple stop at mutual respect.
19 13, Li Zongren graduated from Guangxi army college and started his promotion career in the army like a duck to water.
Men make contributions outside, and the time between Li Xiuwen and Li Zongren is naturally greatly shortened.
However, the precipitation of time and distance has produced beauty, and it has also gradually warmed up the feelings of couples. Li Zongren often goes home 80 miles away to visit his wife and parents on vacation.
19 18. Li Xiuwen gave it to old Ali's baby.
The following year, Li Youlin, the eldest son, was born, and Li Zongren completed the responsibility of starting a family. Coupled with the wars in various places, he began to leave his hometown for a long time and led the army to seek progress in career and revolution.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Li Xiuwen stayed in his hometown to take care of his parents-in-law and children, suffered from war and parting for a long time, and took the Li Youlin family to make a living.
Life is very difficult. My front-line husband sent a letter to Li Xiuwen on 1924, in which he wrote, "I married Sister De because I have a lot of social activities outside and need a care around me. You're here. Let's be company. Do you like it? "
In order to marry and entertain another beautiful young girl, Li Xiuwen realized that the long-term separation between the two places had changed Li Zongren's heart. Although his heart was full of dissatisfaction, the conservative and docile Li Xiuwen replied: "Good."
Later, Li Xiuwen recalled in his memoirs: "I listened to my husband easily, as if it didn't hurt me, and I didn't know what to say. Besides, I was never angry with him." .
Although it was generally recognized by the society at that time, women should have freedom of love and marriage if they want to get married.
However, Li Xiuwen, who married Li Zongren in accordance with the marriage system in the old society, is still full of the idea of marrying a chicken with a dog in the old society. She can only silently endure her husband's remarriage and indifference.
Li Xiuwen's in-laws who have been filial for many years naturally don't like their daughter-in-law being bullied.
So under the arrangement of in-laws, Li Xiuwen came to Guiping with her eldest son, Li Youlin, to reunite with Li Zongren. But Li Zongren, the second wife, is not a docile woman.
Li Zongren's second wife is Guo Dejie. Compared with the original match, Li Zongren's affection for his second wife is obviously deeper. Even Guo Dejie's name was named by Li Zongren.
1922, Li Zongren was stationed in Guiping with the army, and met Guo Dejie through the introduction of the director of Zhou Xun Marine Police Department.
Although there is an original match, it is obvious that Li Zongren, who is in the army, can't bear loneliness.
After several dinner dates with Guo Dejie, Li Zongren left Li Xiuwen soon and talked about love with Guo Dejie.
Guo Dejie was a typical modern woman at that time. She was one of the earliest girls' school students, and her study at school contributed to her progressive thinking.
So, for Li Zongren, a soldier who joined the army to save the country and survive, Guo Dejie was much more fond of him.
Finally, they got married on 1924.
Shortly after Guo Dejie got married, Li Xiuwen came to Li Zongren from his hometown with his children.
Guo Dejie thinks this is a demonstration of himself as an original match, and he is "Li Furen" in front of Li Zongren's subordinates, but after Li Xiuwen came, he became a "mistress".
This makes the two ladies seem harmonious, but in fact they are cold and distant behind the scenes.
Get along for a long time, Guo Dejie will be self-sustaining Li Zongren's favor, often jealously jealous.
At home, he ignored Li Xiuwen's love and indifference, and when interviewed by the media outside, he also hinted that he would write himself as his first wife.
1927, Li Xiuwen went to Taiwan to study with his eldest son Li Youlin. Since then, Guo Dejie has officially reached the summit, and this absurd drama has temporarily come to an end.
After Li Xiuwen left, Li Zongren and Guo Dejie were inseparable and stuck together all day, but Guo Dejie's stomach never responded, which made Guo Dejie very sad.
Although there was no son, Li Zongren's second son, Li Zhisheng, entered Lijiamen as Guo Dejie's adopted son. Li Zongren's eldest son, Li Youlin, has repeatedly publicly stated that his younger brother, Li Zhisheng, is related to himself.
It is widely speculated that Li Zongren has an illegitimate child named Li Zhisheng. In order to let his son recognize his ancestors, he recognized Guo Dejie as an adoptive mother. But it can also be seen that Li Zongren is favored. Theoretically, Li Zhisheng should recognize Li Xiuwen as his mother, but Li Zongren chose his second wife, Guo Dejie.
Visible, although never gave birth to a son, Guo Dejie was deeply loved by Li Zongren.
In his later autobiography, Li Xiuwen once said, "I lost the happiness of marriage in my thirties, but fortunately I was accompanied by my son.".
But Guo Dejie has always been with Li Zongren, including when Li Zongren was the acting "president".
But it didn't last long. 1965, Li Zongren returned to China with his wife Guo Dejie, and Guo Dejie died the following year.
Although he is seventy-five, Li Zongren still wants some company. He remarried, married Hu Yousong, a girl who was only 27 years old, and married Li Zongren. Only three years later, Li Zongren died, and they never had a chance to leave their children.
Although on his deathbed, Li Zongren thought of his first wife and left a will for Li Xiuwen to return to China to settle down, Li Zongren's two sons stayed in the United States.
1973, in accordance with Li Zongren's wishes, Li Xiuwen chose to return to China to settle down, and his son Li Youlin accompanied his mother from Hongkong to Guangzhou.
Although mother and son love each other deeply, Li Youlin and some friends are doing business on Wall Street. Busy with her career, Li Youlin can only stay at home with her mother, while she stays in the United States and visits her mother every year.
Li Youlin married two wives in his life.
The first one was when I was young, I met a beautiful half-blood Jenny at a friend's party.
Li Youlin fell in love at first sight, so she launched a fierce attack, and two young people in their early twenties became life partners.
Compared with his father, the affection between Li Youlin and his first wife, Jenny, is excellent. They are far away in America, and they are together for several months every day.
Li Youlin had four daughters in her life, all of whom were born to Jenny.
The year after Jenny got married in Li Youlin, her eldest daughter, Roach Mazer, was born. When she grew up, she married Hong Kong and the son of Chen, commander of Guangdong Military Region. The couple had a good relationship and gave birth to twins.
ROCHE MAZET and her husband started a real estate company in Hong Kong. With the connections and financial resources of her husband's family, their married life is quite stable.
The second daughter, Schleswig-Holstein, is a professional freelance writer. She has deep feelings for her half of China's hometown. She once visited her grandfather's hometown Guilin, where the beautiful Zhong Ling left a deep impression on her.
During her stay in Guilin, she wrote Bitter and Sweet based on her grandmother's life and the modern history of China. Once this book was published, it was reported by newspapers and periodicals such as The New York Times, and won great praise in the United States.
As for Schleswig's marriage, outsiders only know that she and her husband left a child.
Li Youlin's last two daughters, Wendy and Jane Wei, one was born when her grandfather Li Zongren was the deputy "president" of the National Government, and the other was born in Hongkong. Their lives are very low-key and unknown to the outside world.
Although Jenny gave birth to four children for Li Youlin, the relationship between husband and wife was gradually exhausted by daily necessities, and their weak feelings made them finally choose to separate.
Li Youlin stayed in new york, while Jenny went to San Francisco.
Although divorced, the couple's life of more than 20 years determines that they have become family members. They will call from time to time to exchange the latest information.
From 65438 to 0973, 54-year-old Li Youlin met Liang Shangying, who was in her forties, at Sino-US friendship activities.
Brave women cut off their education funds because they preferred sons to daughters in childhood, but Liang Shangying was admitted to the University of Hong Kong with her perseverance and supported her studies with scholarships.
Later, with the money from teaching in a Hong Kong middle school, I went to the United States to study for a master's degree, and then got a doctorate from the University of California.
Li Youlin was attracted by her personality, and eventually they became partners and supported each other, and Li Youlin respected her very much.
He once said, "Professor Liang and I only spend 10 thousand yuan a year, which is enough for them to live."
It has nothing to do with money, but spiritual closeness makes their souls interdependent. Compared with his first mixed-race wife, Liang Shangying, also from China, is obviously more spiritually compatible with Li Youlin, and their lives are quiet and warm.
1992, Li Xiuwen, far away in China, died at the age of 102.
As far away as the United States, Li Youlin didn't know the news for the first time.
His friend read the news of Li Xiuwen's death from an American Chinese newspaper, and then called Li Youlin.
After learning the news, Li Youlin couldn't even believe it. He quickly asked his eldest daughter to call Hong Kong to find out the situation, and finally confirmed that his mother had passed away.
On July 13, Li Youlin flew directly from new york to Hong Kong, and then rushed to Guilin to attend his mother's funeral.
Because Li Youlin was 73 years old at that time, after he returned to the United States from the funeral, his own body was destroyed by the disease.
In the last stage of his life, Li Youlin suffered from illness, but his heart was still worried that his mother's grave had not been solved. Whenever he thinks about it, he is always sad.
Before he died, he entrusted a friend to write a ghost letter and sent 65,438+0,500 dollars to instruct his relatives and friends in Chinese mainland to build a cemetery for his mother. He soon followed her.
1993, after Li Youlin's death, his first wife held a funeral for her husband according to American custom, and his second wife held a wake for her.
As for Li Zongren's second son, Li Zhisheng, when he was adopted, Chinese mainland's Kuomintang was doomed. 1949, when Li Zhisheng 12 years old, Guo Dejie and Li Zongren went to the United States with Li Zhisheng.
During Li Zongren's life in the United States, the relationship between Li Zhisheng and his brother became closer and closer.
1965, Li Zongren returned to China, intending to take his second son Li Zhisheng back to China. However, due to the siege of Chiang Kai-shek, Li Zongren had to entrust his friend Wu Shangying to help bring Li Zhisheng back to China.
But in the end, Wu Shangying had an accident, and Li Zhisheng was still a teenager, so naturally he could not return home alone. Since then, Li Zhisheng has been staying in the United States, being taken care of by his brother Li Youlin.
Although the two brothers are not the same mother, Li Youlin still takes good care of Li Zhisheng. As a child, Li Zhisheng is very stubborn, because he grew up with good family conditions.
After his father returned to China, his eldest brother Li Youlin became his father, and he took on the responsibility of caring for and educating his younger brother.
Under the careful instruction of Li Youlin again and again, Li Zhisheng finally studied hard and was no longer mediocre. After two years of struggle, he was admitted to the university with perseverance.
In addition to caring about his younger brother's life and education, he is also very concerned about his brother's name and confirming the birthright of Li's descendants.
Li Youlin has repeatedly said that Li Zhisheng is his father's own flesh and blood.
199 1 when Li Youlin returned to China to visit his mother, he learned that an old man named Zhao in Guilin knew the mystery of his brother's birth, so he made a special trip to visit.
When the old man surnamed Zhao learned of Li Youlin's purpose, he smiled and shook his head, unwilling to answer.
The reason is that for the sake of Li Zongren's reputation and image, this matter can't be said, and he doesn't want to say it.
Li Zhisheng's life has become a mystery, and no one knows who his birth mother is.
After graduating from college, Li Zhisheng chose the field of advertising design and worked in an advertising company in New York, USA. He started at the grassroots level, first as a handyman, and then gradually became the general manager by virtue of his ability.
Later, Li Zhisheng married Gong Huailei, a sister from Sichuan, who was also a native of China. They gave birth to a son and a daughter, the son named Guo Qin and the daughter named Pearl Krabs. The situation of the children is unknown to the outside world.
Li Zhisheng 1992 retired, and on April 7, 20 16, he served as honorary president of Taierzhuang Campaign Research Association. It's a pity that Li Zongren's two sons and grandchildren are still living in other places, which is embarrassing.
