The Song family is famous as "three talented women in the Song family". Their three brothers also had different degrees of fame in the political arena of the Republic of China, especially their eldest brother Song Ziwen, who played a considerable role in the financial, political and diplomatic circles of old China. For a family, it is really rare that four of the six daughters have become famous figures who once influenced China politics. The miracle stems from the careful cultivation of their children by Song Yaoru and his wife. "Expecting children to succeed" is the wish of every parent. Song Yaoru and his wife did this not only because of their words and deeds, but also because they formulated a strict and unique educational method.

First of all, they create a good living environment for their children. Song Yaoru is not only a successful businessman, but also an able father. 1890 bought a large piece of land at Dongyouheng Road, Hongkou (near the countryside). He designed and built the house himself. There is a small river in front of the house, and there is a small bridge on the river. There is a low stone wall around, and there is a green space outside the wall. His children often dig out stone walls and play in the fields of nearby farmers. There are two houses in the wall. The front one is a two-story building with a study, a Chinese and western living room, a dining room, a bedroom and a bathroom. The back bungalow is used as a kitchen, storage room and servant room. The most special thing is that Song Yaoru opened a vegetable garden behind the house and grew his own vegetables. In this unique building that combines Chinese and western cultures, it left the Song brothers and sisters with infinite childhood fun.

Secondly, they attach great importance to the education and cultivation of children. Different from the traditional "loving mother strict father", she was a "loving father and strict mother" in the Song family. As a mother, Ni takes good care of her children in her life. As the Song brothers and sisters said, our mother "gave us a happy and comfortable life even in the most difficult times". But she is strict with her children and never condones any deviant behavior, even if it is only because of their playfulness. Although Song Yaoru had high expectations for his children, he respected their wishes and attached importance to the development of their nature. He is very kind and strict with children, with love and hope. Although the couple's education methods are different, they can respect each other and cooperate tacitly. Song Yaoru always had a grand wish in his heart, hoping that China could produce Lincoln and Washington-style figures. It is with this desire that he raised his children. As he often said to people, "As long as one million children become Superman, there are 400 Superman in China. Are you afraid you're hopeless? At present, most families in China are unable to train their children wholeheartedly. I want to be the first in the world. "

For this ideal, the Song couple designed a brand-new educational model different from the traditional education in China. While giving full play to children's beautiful nature, they are consciously trained in various skills.

Because their children babble, Song Yaoru and his wife gave them bilingual training in Chinese and English. As usual, Song Yao told the children that learning English is to open their eyes to see the world, and studying abroad is to gain knowledge and skills and then serve the motherland, so Chinese must be better. He firmly believes that the future leaders of China must learn Chinese and Western cultures. Under the guidance of their parents, the children studied ancient Chinese, trained Chinese writing skills and practiced calligraphy seriously before entering school. This is not only the content of China traditional culture, but also a good way to exercise people's patience and perseverance. In order to help children learn English, Song Yaoru bought a large number of children's books from the United States, and the couple took turns teaching their children to read and write. Song Yaoru often tells them stories in Chinese and English, and in the process of telling stories, he conveys scientific truth and democratic revolutionary ideas to them in a timely and simple way. In order to encourage children's enthusiasm and self-confidence, Song Yaoru used the wall of the living room where decorative paintings were originally hung as a place for children to display their works. There are paintings, calligraphy and articles written in Chinese and English. Whenever familiar guests visit, the authors of these articles or calligraphy and paintings will be invited to meet with readers, and sometimes they need to explain their ideas. At this time, Song Yaoru, as the father and chief designer, will sit happily and look at his children with relief.

In addition to imparting knowledge and cultivating interest in learning, the Song couple also attached great importance to the cultivation of children's various skills and will. Song Yaoru firmly believes that to be a great man, you must have a stronger will than steel. To this end, he trained his young children in various ways, such as hiking in the wild and starving, and taught and influenced them with his own actions. In terms of skills training, Song Yaoru also adopted various methods, such as running newspapers and holding family lectures. From 65438 to 0898, Song Yaoru and his eldest daughter Song Ailing edited a Shanghai Children's Daily. This is an English typing tabloid. The main articles are written by children themselves. Gradually, the task of typing shifted from the father to the children themselves. This unique family tabloid was not published until the last two children of the Song family went to middle school. In this creative self-reliance activity, the Song brothers and sisters not only improved their English writing level, but also increased their talents in other fields. When the eldest daughter goes to school for one year and can do speech practice, Song Yaoru holds small lectures from time to time. Under the influence of my sister Aileen, my brothers and sisters began to try to make speeches. The speech eloquence of the Song Ziwen sisters is first-rate. Song Ziwen's speech eloquence has also been tempered. Song Ziwen, a junior high school student, stutters at ordinary times, but his speech is natural and fluent, and he can speak both Chinese and English, which amazes the teachers.

Under such family education, children's knowledge naturally grows rapidly, but Song Yaoru is not satisfied with it. He believes that education should be social and all-round. No matter how good family education is, it can't replace formal school education, let alone the training of collective life. Moreover, when children grow up, they always have to go out and face the society independently. They should not be caged birds, but rather playful ones. To this end, when the eldest daughter was 5 years old, Song Yaoru insisted on sending her to a missionary school in Shanghai to stay and study. His other five children also went to church schools in succession. Although the mission of missionary schools is to spread religious beliefs, they also teach some modern scientific and cultural knowledge, including astronomy, geography, mathematics, physics, chemistry, philosophy and physical education, taking into account moral, intellectual and physical education.

While letting children receive western-style education, Song Yaoru paid more attention to cultivating their patriotic feelings. He once told the children:

It is a fact that the United States has developed industry, agriculture and science and technology. However, the prosperity of the United States is also attributed to the people of China. More than a decade ago, there were 300,000 to 400,000 Chinese laborers in the United States. Even American historians have to admit that they have made efforts to develop the western United States.

At that time, the national crisis intensified, and the domestic reform movement and revolutionary movement flourished one after another. Song Yaoru often used Sun Yat-sen's idea of democratic revolution to educate children:

Once our great goal of reforming China is realized, not only will our beautiful country usher in the dawn of a new era, but all mankind will also enjoy a brighter future. World peace is bound to be accompanied by the birth of China, opening a grand scene to the social and economic activities of the civilized world that has never been dreamed of.

This is a passage from Sun Yat-sen's masterpiece The Real Solution to the China Problem, and it is also a passage that Song Yaoru often leads his children to read aloud.

Song Yaoru not only educated children in patriotism, but also consciously led them to participate in various meaningful political gatherings, hoping that children would be deeply influenced by patriotism in practice. 1On April 30th, 904, Shanghai citizens held an anti-Russian meeting in Bird to protest against Russia's occupation of northeast China and support the movement of Russian students studying in Japan. On this day, Song Yaoru took Aileen, Qingling, Wen Zi and Meiling to attend the press conference. The children have seen such a spectacular scene for the first time in their lives. Seeing the patriotic enthusiasm of China people in full swing, their young hearts were deeply shocked. Especially after Cai Yuanpei read a telegram from students studying in Japan asking for volunteers to go to the battlefield in Tokyo, the warm and excited mood at the meeting greatly infected the children. This activity undoubtedly gave the Song brothers and sisters a vivid patriotic education lesson.

The next year, they took part in a nationwide protest movement with practical actions. From 65438 to 0905, the persecution of Chinese workers by the American government triggered a nationwide anti-American patriotic movement. Although deeply influenced by American culture, Song Yaoru has always regarded the United States as a model of a democratic country, but his love for the motherland is loyal, and he also understands and hates the brutal and cruel racial discrimination policy of the American government. When this racial prejudice deeply persecuted and insulted Chinese in the United States, he did not hesitate to participate in the national anti-American movement. Song brothers and sisters also actively joined the anti-American ranks. At that time, the elder sister Aileen had gone abroad, and Qingling, Wen Zi and Meiling took to the streets with their father to distribute leaflets, make propaganda and boycott American goods with practical actions. Among the Cantonese in Shanghai, Song Yaoru is famous for doing American business. Boycott of American goods will undoubtedly damage his interests, but in order to oppose American atrocities and the interests and dignity of overseas Chinese in the United States, Song Yaoru resolutely took action to boycott American goods. Under the influence of his father, Song Ziwen and his sisters not only threw their beloved American toys and stationery into the dustbin, but also went door to door in Hongkou, where they lived, calling on everyone to boycott American goods. They even initiated and organized "China Boys Boycott American Dating".

Among the six sisters and brothers of the Song family, only three sisters and the two younger sons of the Song family are not as lucky as their brothers and sisters, because with the increasingly severe revolutionary situation, Song Yaoru does not have much energy and mind to train his children and has not enough time to get along with them. Song Ziliang and Song Zian are more influenced by the role models of their brothers and sisters. Song Yaoru's six children have all gone to the United States to study and returned to China, but Song Ziliang and Song Zian are not as influential as their brothers and sisters in the future. Song Ziliang graduated from Vanderbilt University and Song Zian graduated from Harvard University. Both of them study economics. When they returned to China, their eldest brother Song Ziwen had held a high position in the government, and his brother-in-law Kong Xiangxi also held several important positions in the economic and financial fields. Under the care of his brother or brother-in-law, they successfully obtained favorable positions in business or finance. Song Ziliang has successively served as Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Government, Director of the Comprehensive Department, Managing Director and Deputy Director of Liuhegou Coal Mine Company, Director and General Manager of China Domestic Bank, Director and General Manager of China Construction Bank Company, Director of China Bank, Director of Central Bank, Managing Director of Bank of Communications, Guangdong Financial Commissioner, Member of Guangdong Provincial Government and Director of Finance Department. During his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, he served as the general manager of Yunnan-Myanmar Road. He was Aileen's main assistant in securities trading in her early years and her eldest brother Wen Zi's main assistant in the financial industry. Song Zian has served as manager of Songjiang Salt Audit Office, deputy director of Songjiang Transportation, manager of China Construction Bank, director of China National Bank and director of Guangdong Bank, and rarely set foot in politics.

The youngest foreign student in the Song family was only 10 years old when studying abroad. 19 17 In the summer, Song Meiling ended his study in the United States and returned to his hometown. The United States 10 year is the age when Song Meiling is most easily influenced by the outside world and easily shaped. 65,438+00 years of study and life had a great influence on Song Meiling's life. First of all, her English has been greatly improved. Not only can she speak fluent English with a standard southern accent, but she is also more familiar with American customs and dialects than her two sisters. This laid the foundation for her political influence in the future.

It can be said that her life is a legendary life. Her elegance, charm and temperament all come from her family background and unique education. A woman may not have gorgeous clothes and bright diamonds, but her manners, words and deeds, and tolerance are indeed the wealth given to her by her family and education. Although she is old, she is still great.
