Song Ziwen, Minister of Finance of the Republic of China —— A Prominent Song Family
As one of the heads of the "Song Family", he was educated in the West, pragmatic and open-minded. He established a relatively complete financial and monetary system in modern China. He advocated stopping Japanese aggression against China and seeking international assistance, which contributed to improving China's international status. However, he also accumulated a lot of wealth during the national disaster and was accused by thousands of people.

To tell the truth, the modern history of China should be a Song Dynasty. This is a family that attracts worldwide attention. Its influence is unparalleled.

The members of the Song family, also known as Song Yaoru and Song Charlie, were famous industrialists (comprador) in China and from Wenchang, Hainan, and received education in western universities in their early years. At the beginning, with profound and avant-garde vision, he broke through the thousand-year feudal cage and sent all six sons (three women and three men) with yellow skin and black eyes to the west for western higher education, following in his footsteps and impacting China's deep-rooted traditional concept of monarchy.

In fact, Liuzi later became an all-powerful figure in China's political arena, and interpreted the vivid scenes of love and hate in China's modern history. Let's not comment on their merits and demerits, but as a life, they all have their own merits. As historians say, the Song family is a mystery, and every member of the family is also a mystery. China's thousand-year-old feudal society is characterized by "Yang flourishes and Yin declines", and only the Song family opposes "Gankun". Isn't it? It is the bright color of the song "Three Golden Flowers" that conceals the due glory of the song "Three Brothers". Little did they know that the "three brothers" in Song Dynasty were also "tiger generals" in China's modern history. Song Ziwen, Song Zian and Song Ziliang are all experts in business and financial management. Although their political status is not as prominent as their sisters, their economic awareness and social contribution (citing foreign capital for our use, establishing joint ventures, rejuvenating the country through science and education, etc.). ) was also an early liberal in China.

Song Ziwen died at the age of 77.

He received a good family education in his early years and then went overseas to study. Under the impact of Chinese and western cultures and civilizations, he saved the country and the people, and also had a single-minded and deliberate pursuit. Like his parents, he followed the revolutionary pioneer Dr. Sun Yat-sen and devoted himself to the great revolutionary torrent of ethnic cooperation. As a witness, he attracted worldwide attention in Dr. Sun Yat-sen's two wills. Later, in the process of cooperation between China and Nanjing, he served as finance minister and central bank governor in Guangzhou and Wuhan, and later served as foreign minister, vice president, acting president and president of the Executive Yuan, and participated in the organization and planning of major national political, economic and diplomatic issues in Nanjing. Can only say that he is an important core figure on the "Jiang" side.

On the other hand, as the spokesman of the four families of "Song Jiang Kong Chen", he worked hard to raise money for the people in his early years. As a foreign minister, he has unusual ties with the United States, Britain and other countries by virtue of his special family relationship. He visited many western countries, advocated anti-Japanese, and sought cooperation and assistance, all of which made achievements. At the critical moment of the Xi 'an Incident, he stepped forward, together with his sister Song Meiling, pushed his way through the crowd and flew to Xi 'an to participate in the negotiations, which contributed to the conclusion of an anti-Japanese agreement to stop the civil war and welcome the new situation of ethnic cooperation.

In the War of Liberation, Song Ziwen, as the spokesman of the regime, stubbornly adhered to the position of being the enemy of the people until the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), and was included in the list of "war criminals who must start at once". We can also see his prominent position in the Kuomintang regime.

In the Kuomintang regime, he had unspeakable pain and unspeakable pain. After the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan Province Province, he stayed in Long Island for a long time. In the factional struggle of the Kuomintang, events such as "pulling vinegar Joe" and "slapping the face" made Song Ziwen unforgettable. Guanhai ups and downs, flowers bloom and fall; The relationship with Chiang Kai-shek is divided and combined; The situation is changing, and the mystery and grievances make future generations puzzled.

Besides, Song Ziwen, as an economist, can also be called a politician. He has a bright side and a dark side, just like his special family. Uncovering the duality of this contradiction is also the third starting point of the author's statement. To this end, the prelude was opened, and the parents of the Song Dynasty, covered with historical dust, took to the stage for the world to comment.
