The descendants of the four major families
The glory of the four famous families of Chiang Kai-shek, Song Dynasty, Confucius and Chen in modern Chinese history has long faded over time. The descendants of the four major families are scattered all over the world.
1. The Chiang family
The Chiang family respected Chiang Kai-shek. After he fled to Taiwan, he took control of Taiwan's political power. He was still the top leader in Taiwan. After his death, he His son Chiang Ching-kuo became the controller of Taiwan. And his existence also allowed the Jiang family to flourish. He had three sons in his first marriage, Xiaowen, Xiaowu and Xiaoyong.
And the third son Xiaoyong made four generations of the Jiang family prosperous. In addition to these children on the surface, he also has two children born out of wedlock. Chiang Ching-kuo's younger brother has a son who survives. However, I don’t know why Chiang Ching-kuo did not allow the descendants of the Chiang family to enter politics, so the fourth generation of the Chiang family has architects, economists, and professors, but no politicians.
The fourth generation of the Jiang family has stayed away from politics. Most of them are engaged in business, education, and performing arts. For example, the fourth generation Zhang Huilan is a highly regarded emerging director in the Taiwanese film industry. In 1999, Zhang Huilan wrote and directed her debut film "Little Girls", starring the movie star Shu Qi. She was also invited to participate in the 2000 Edinburgh Film Festival.
2. The Song Family
With the death of Soong Meiling, all six brothers and sisters of the Song family are no longer alive. Most of the descendants of the three brothers Song Ziwen, Song Zian, and Song Ziliang have settled in the United States, and they are usually very low-key and mysterious. The Song family was prosperous and had many descendants, but no one was in politics. When Song Meiling was alive, Song Zian's son Song Zhonghu often visited her. As for the whereabouts of other Song family members, the whereabouts of other Song family members were rarely known to the outside world.
On the surface, the Song family is headed by Song Ziwen, but in fact the three sisters of the Song family are the ones who control the Song family. The eldest sister became the wife of the patriarch of the Kong family, the second sister became Sun Yat-sen's wife, and the third sister survived. Over a hundred years old, she was Chiang Kai-shek's wife.
Some members of the Song family are not prosperous. The Song family basically lives in the United States now, but there are only two surviving males, Song Boxiong and Song Zhonghu. However, the Song family was famous for its financial resources during the Ming Dynasty, and the Song family mainly developed in the economic field.
3. Kong Family
In modern Chinese history, the Kong family founded by Song Ailing and Kong Xiangxi was one of the richest families in China at that time.
The Kong family is headed by Kong Xiangxi, and the descendants of the Kong family are mainly the descendants of Kong Xiangxi and the eldest sister of Song Dynasty. And now the head of the Kong family is Kong Deji. His main job now is to take care of the Kong family's wealth, and there is a very funny thing here, that is, a large amount of the Kong family's property is recorded in Chinese, but Kong Deji does not understand a little Chinese. In order to take care of the family well, After graduation, he started learning Chinese again.
4. Chen family
The Chen family is headed by Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu, but Chen Guofu has no children. Chen Lifu adopted his son to Guofu, who is Chen Ze'an. Chen Ze'an is now mainly an elite in the cultural field. Chen Lifu's other two sons, Chen Zening and Chen Zechong, are both elites in the mechanical field. The only daughter of the Chen family, Chen Zerong, mainly develops in music. But the entire Chen family is also developing their careers in the United States.
Among the descendants of the Chen family, the most famous is probably Chen Ze'an, the son of the "Er Chen" and his cousin. He is a professor at a university in the United States and an internationally renowned plant pathologist. The Chen family is the poorer among the four major families.
