What spirit did the royal tailor of Song Meiling explain with his life?

Hello, dear friends, welcome to today's journey of talking about historical time. Today I want to introduce modern history to you. I believe everyone has heard of the name Song Meiling. We all know that Song Meiling is a famous diplomat in the history of China, and we also know the love story between Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling. Today, we don't talk about those so-called love. Let's talk about cheongsam today. We all know that Song Meiling basically wears cheongsam. It is said that all the clothes in Song Meiling's wardrobe are cheongsam. We all know that Song Meiling studied in the United States since she was a child, and her lifestyle is naturally foreign. Even after returning home, she still has the temperament to maintain western-style eating habits, but only cheongsam is something she can't give up. Then why?

Zhang Ailing once said, "A woman should collect two things in her life, one is a jade bracelet and the other is a cheongsam." Song Meiling has been practicing this sentence all her life, and her collection of cheongsam is probably unparalleled in the Guinness Book of World Records. Then why? We all know that Song Meiling lives in the Republic of China. At that time, celebrities generally liked to wear cheongsam. Because cheongsam can show the beauty of oriental women, Song Meiling, who loves beauty, is no exception, and Song Meiling was the first lady at that time. Then, when all the women in the street are wearing cheongsam, as our first lady, how can Song Meiling lag behind the Jade Man? You know, when Song Meiling moved to the United States in his later years, more than two-thirds of the uncles transported by private jet were cheongsam. This shows Song Meiling's love for cheongsam.

We all know what kind of woman Song Meiling is. She is a luxury person, and she was the first lady at that time, so in order to put on a unique cheongsam, she hired a cheongsam master Zhang Ruixiang. Zhang Ruixiang is a special official cheongsam teacher in Song Meiling. She had only opened a shop in Nanjing, and she was very skilled and dedicated, so Song Meiling admired her very much. I believe many people may not have heard of his name. But you must have seen his work. He makes a cheongsam every two or three days on average, and every cheongsam will be invited to Song Meiling for the first time, but our first lady generally doesn't wear it. She just admired it and asked someone to take it to the closet for safekeeping. I don't think Song Meiling's cheongsam knows how much it weighs.

Although our Zhang Ruixiang has a day off on New Year's Eve and New Year's Eve in China, he spends about 364 days a year making clothes, and only for Song Meiling. Even after he was ill in bed, he still insisted on making cheongsam for Song Meiling. It can be said that as long as Song Meiling attends the occasion, Zhang Ruixiang always accompanies her. If the cheongsam is not good or needs to be modified, Zhang Ruixiang can always modify it at the first time. Even in his later years, Song Meiling still wore cheongsam. She once said to her personal doctor, "Look, I can still wear the cheongsam from 30 years ago!" " You know what kind of occasions Song Meiling was afraid to attend later. She always wore a cheongsam made in Zhang Ruixiang. For Zhang Ruixiang, he has learned Song Meiling's figure by heart.

It can be said that Zhang Ruixiang has been making cheongsam all his life, and only for Song Meiling. Wherever she goes, he follows, where she gives a speech and what kind of clothes she wears. It can be said that Zhang Ruixiang has a ruler in his heart. In his life, he doesn't want to be rich, but he wants to have a clear conscience. For decades, he has been meticulously sewing every needle and thread in his hand. Even though Song Meiling has more cheongsam, he has been making it. Until the day he died. Luckily, he met someone who admired him, Song Meiling. Our impression of the first lady will always be wearing a cheongsam. She represents the spirit of China, and cheongsam is also the spirit of China. It represents the spirit of a craftsman and the painstaking efforts of Zhang Ruixiang for decades.

There may be many people who look down on a needleworker and think that he is just a nobody and is not worth mentioning, but what we are going to talk about today is this spirit in him. Zhang Ruixiang's spirit is a kind of spirit which is very lacking in our contemporary society, which is what we call the craftsman spirit. Maybe it's not a big deal that he makes cheongsam, but he has done one thing all his life, that is, making cheongsam, which we are very short of now. Doing one thing for a year or two is nothing, and doing it for ten or twenty years is nothing. What is commendable is that you have been practicing it all your life, which is a great thing, whether it is out of love or anything, which is a great thing in itself. Well, today's short story of the Republic of China is over. Thank you very much for watching. Welcome to leave a message
