Peking University has a hundred years of school history. There have been many famous people who have served as presidents, but Cai Yuanpei may be widely known by the public. In fact, in the early days of the Republic of China, Jiang Menglin presided over the administration of Peking University for seventeen years. is the longest-serving president of Peking University, , and his contribution to Peking University is second only to Cai Yuanpei.
Jiang Menglin is a student of Cai Yuanpei and his successor . He is committed to "rectifying discipline and developing collective governance to make up for the shortcomings of the school" , turning Peking University from a place where student movements are frequent into an academic center. Some people commented that he "is not as knowledgeable as Cai Yuanpei, but he is worse than Cai Yuanpei". His emotional intelligence is so high, but he is in a mess in his emotional life.
accepts arranged marriage
Jiang Menglin’s original partner is named Sun Yushu, and the two of them are arranged by their parents . Before Jiang Menglin went to study in the United States, he followed the advice of his parents and married Sun Yushu. Sun Yushu was a girl with no culture, but she was beautiful, and many men were chasing her at that time. She was kind by nature, very honest and responsible, and she was quite good at Jiang Menglin. After marriage, she gave birth to four children for Jiang Menglin.
After marriage, Sun Yushu was very supportive of Jiang Menglin's study abroad. She stayed at home to take care of her parents-in-law. But she, who is thrifty and good-hearted, did not completely touch Jiang Menglin's heart. Soon after returning to China, Jiang Menglin became a professor at Peking University. As Jiang Menglin's social status is getting higher and higher, he feels that there are fewer and fewer topics in common with Sun Yushu. In addition, he has little gathering and separation, and his feelings are very strange.
married another brother and widow
In 1928, Jiang Menglin's irresistible friend Gao Renshan was killed on political suspicion. After Gao Renshan was killed, his wife Tao Zenggu was in grief and tears all day. Seeing this, Jiang Menglin couldn't bear it, and felt very sympathetic to Tao Zenggu, so took special care of for all the things in her life. Soon, Jiang Menglin became the Minister of Education of the National Government, and Tao Zenggu became his secretary. The two of get along day and night every day, and gradually become ambiguous.
abandoned his wife
This is Jiang Menglin's original wife, Sun Yushu, who is still alone in her hometown, taking care of their four children. In 1933, Jiang Menglin who fell in love with resolutely wanted to divorce Sun Yushu . He intends to give Tao Zenggu a name. Despite Sun Yushu's unwillingness, she had no choice but to agree to her husband's resolute attitude.
Jiang Menglin informed all his relatives and friends about marrying Tao Zenggu as his wife. In front of Hu Shi and other friends, he said: I love my friends, so I love his wife more. He married Tao Zenggu. It is because of the duty of a friend to take care of Tao Zenggu . Although Jiang Menglin's words were opposed by many friends, he still had no hesitation.
After marriage, the two people live in love. But Tao Zenggu was particularly nosy, which also caused the friends around Jiang Menglin to dislike her very much. Although Jiang Menglin worked hard to do his duty as president during his tenure as president, and did everything himself, there was still a force against him at Peking University. They believed that Jiang Menglin served as the secretary-general of the Executive Yuan as the president of Peking University and the president of the university at that time cannot serve as the government. The officials' regulations did not comply, and Jiang Menglin was caught in a storm of "fallen Jiang Yinghu".
In 1949, Jiang Menglin brought his wife Tao Zenggu and children to Taiwan. Perhaps because of the inadequacy of the soil and water, Tao Zenggu's body deteriorated day by day. In 1958, Tao Zenggu died of illness in Taipei. Before her death, she confessed that her relatives must find a congenial wife for Jiang Menglin after her death. After that, her relatives found several for Jiang Menglin, but they were never satisfied.
met the daughter of love for money
In 1959, Jiang Menglin met a woman named Xu Xianle in a restaurant. Xu Xianle was born in a famous family. Her father was a knowledgeable mechanical expert. Although she was fifty-two years old, she was well maintained and still radiant. On the second day of the banquet, Jiang Menglin notified the matchmaker, hoping to help build a bridge with Xu Xianle, and at this time Jiang MenglinLin is seventy-four years old.
In the process of pursuing Xu Xianle, Jiang Menglin did his best. He once wrote a ten-page love letter for Xu Xianle. In the letter, he said: "Among some ladies I have met, You are the person who moved my heart the most." As time went on, Xu Xianle was moved by Jiang Menglin's talent and romance. The relationship between the two warmed up very quickly, and it didn't take long for them to start discussing marriage.
In January 1961, Jiang Menglin announced his intention to marry Xu Xianle. This news immediately attracted opposition from relatives and friends. Because Xu Xianle has a bad reputation outside, he is famous for his love of money. Hu Shi is also very excited as Jiang Menglin's friend for half a century. During his hospital stay, he wrote a long letter to Jiang Menglin, hoping that he would think twice, but Jiang Menglin threw it into the trash can without seeing it. Later, this letter was secretly picked up by Jiang Menglin's secretary at the time, so that we could know the content of the letter.
farce ending in a miserable old age
In 1961, Jiang Menglin held a simple wedding at his home in Taipei despite the opposition of the crowd. Sure enough, this unpopular marriage still lit up the red light . In 1962, Jiang Menglin stumbled and fell. Not only did Xu Xianle not take good care of him by his side, also secretly transferred the property . Jiang Menglin was furious when he learned of this, and finally saw Xu Xianle's true face, and began to no longer believe her. He finally appealed for a divorce and demanded that Xu Xianle return his 5.3 million deposit . After two years of quarreling, the couple finally ended their relationship and got a divorce.
Soon, Jiang Menglin expressed regret for this marriage . Although he regained his freedom, after this farce, his body was not as good as the previous day, and he finally died of cancer. When fell ill, he stayed with him to take care of his original daughter Jiang Yanhua.
