- So, it is Madam Sun who loves the country? Thank two other netters
- who sent me email to explain this for me. Thanks.
-
- However, in your original article, I don't think a reader can understand
- what you are talking about who loves what if they don't know already --
- agree? So you original article takes what you know as granted. But that
- is questionable. For example, you believe AiLing loves money, because she
- married Kong3 Xiang2 Xi1. That is wrong.
-
- After Dr. Sun died, it was in urgent need to get some donation for his
- funeral. Ailing was engaged with Kong, a son of a ShanXi rich merchant,
- after he donated. Can anyone use this as evidence that Ailing loves money?
- And at that time, Kong was not minister yet.
-
- Well, Ailing was the only one who loved power and was good at playing power
- in the Beauty-3, I think. She was first a D-fighter and private secratary
- of Dr. Sun when he was still in exile. They were engaegd.
-
- However, as a D-fighter, Dr. Sun had to communicate with some government
- officials. Once such a communication was discovered by some CG-spy-chasing
- guys, and there was a big mess among D-fighters. Ai-ling standed firmly,
- and told the D-fighters she wrote that letter without Dr. Sun's authorization.
- She resigned as Dr. Sun's secretary and their engagement was canceled.
-
- QinLiang then rashed to Japan to take over the duty of both secretary and
- fiancee.
-
- So my suggestion is that AiLing was the only power-oriented one in the
- Beauty-three, and both QinLing and Ailing were her victims in power struggle
- and bargains.
-
- Nevertheless, both Qinling and Meiling contributed to China significantly.
- The people from mainland heard a lot of dirt water poured on Meiling, but
- I failed see any evidence. And her contribution in the WWII as an excellent
- diplomat for gaining international support to China can't be denied.
