		现代中国第一夫人(2)—宋美龄	2014-06-07 17:41:53

2】蒋介石夫人宋美龄

宋美龄（1897.3.5 - 2003.10.24），中华民国前第一夫人，蒋介石第四任妻子。与宋蔼龄、宋庆龄并称宋氏三姐妹。凭其留学美国背景，长期活跃于政治、及中美、台美外交等领域，对中国战区抗日战争及早期中美关系产生过重要影响。

宋美龄1910年赴美求学，后与两位姊姊就读于卫斯理安女子学院。1927年12月在上海同蒋介石结婚。期间因与姊姊宋庆龄政见分歧而导致姊妹关系破裂。1936年12月西安事变发生后，亲赴西安，参与和平解决并迎蒋回南京。抗日战争时期，曾担任航空委员会秘书长，并代表蒋介石出访美国，在国会等发表演讲，呼吁美各界支援中国战区抗日。在国内积极参与募捐、劳军等后方支援活动。1975年蒋介石病逝后不久即去美国就医、定居。

中共建政后，宋美龄致力于反共活动，并长期游说美国国会和白宫，极力阻挠中华人民共和国重返联合国。1971年，当美国政府认识到已无力阻止中国大陆时，曾建议台湾接受“两个中国”或“一中一台”妥协方案。宋美龄站出来坚决反对，并力排众议，要求台湾断然拒绝，主持会议的蒋介石亦无能为力。台湾人将此事称为“蒋夫人一言定江山”。

宋美龄堪称中国近代史上一位传奇女性。在国内，通过蒋、宋联姻，把宋、孔财团和蒋介石结合在一起，形成蒋宋孔陈四大家族政治和经济联盟，统治中国长达22年之久。而其深厚的美国文化背景又把蒋介石政权和美国政府紧紧联系在一起。直至中美建交，美国人也没有抛弃台湾，这其中宋美龄的影响力是一个重要因素。

抗战时期，宋美龄代表蒋介石访美受到隆重欢迎，其演讲更引起全美轰动。

Mayling Soong’s address at New York City Hall:

If we thought we were fighting alone, if we thought we were fighting only for China, to be very frank with you, China would not be the China of today, but would have been a conquered China. But we realized that justice will prevail and that the people of America knew and realized what was at stake. Perhaps I can best illustrate to you what I mean by a little story. More than two thousand years ago, in the reign of Tsin-Shi Wang, the emperor who built the Great Wall, there were continually overflowing, and causing death and destruction to many thousands of people in that part of the country. The emperor sent a very high official to build dykes to prevent the floods. The official failed and he paid the final penalty for his failure. The emperor sent a second high official. The second official also failed. He too paid the final penalty. Finally he sent a third man, this man succeeded and high honors were bestowed upon him. When I visited the spot last year with Generalissimo, we found three graves there. I asked, “Why are there three graves?” and I was told, “these are the graves of three men, the two who had attempted to make the dyke and failed, and the third who succeeded.” I asked why was the third man buried with the other two. And the reply was that when the third official succeeded and honors were bestowed upon him, he declined the honors and killed himself because, he said, he could not profit himself by the price others had paid with their lives. I feel that American people have the same highmindedness. They would not benefit from the price anyone else had paid for liberty or freedom. This highmindedness, this integrity, this feeling that we shall suffer with others, and together work and strive for a common cause, constitute the common meeting ground for your people and mine.

In Mayling’s Chicago address:

There are peoples and nations who are yet bent on tramping underfoot the inalienable rights and diginity of men. They have not the eyes to see that over the blue horizon, beyond the smoky ruins following in the wake of the bursting bombs, there is a vision of a new world – a world founded on practiced justive and equality for all mankind.

Mayling’s speech before the House of Representatives:

The 160 years of traditional friendship between our two great peoples, China and America, which has never been marred by misunderstandings, is unsurpassed in the annals of the world. I can also assure you that China is eager and ready to co-operate with you and other peoples to lay a true and lasting foundation for a sane and progressive world society which would make it impossible for any arrogant or predatory neighbor to plung future generations into another orgy of blood.

In the past, China has not computed the cost to her manpower in her fight against aggression, although she well realized that manpower is the real wealth of a nation and it takes generations to grow it. She has been soberly conscious of her responsibilities and has not concerned herself with privileges and gains which she might have obtained through compromise of principles. Nor will she demean herself and all she holds dear to the practices of the market place. We in China, like you, want a better world no for ourselves alone but for all mankind, and we must have it. It is not enough, however, to proclaim our ideals or even to be convinced that we have them. In order to preserve, uphold and maintain them, there are times when we should throw all we cherish into our effort to fulfill these ideals even at the risk of failure.
