Chapter 34 Three, treasure legend

Song Meiling has many treasures that outsiders don't know.And this kind of treasure is only placed in a place where a few people know, of course this can only be trusted.People around her jokingly called the place where the treasures were kept "Mrs. Treasure House". This is what happened after Song Meiling lived in the Shilin official residence after she arrived in Taiwan. There is a small room in the mansion building, where Soong Meiling stores gifts, and there are several large suitcases piled up inside.Among these large suitcases, there is another oversized suitcase, which is all used to store the cloth given to the wife by others, and there are everything in silk and satin inside.Of course, it was impossible to give Song Meiling a non-prestige gift, but she didn't take it seriously. More than half of the cloth had been placed there from the beginning.

There are two treasures that accompany Soong Meiling throughout her life, one is her cheongsam, and there are "innumerable" closets for storing cheongsam; the other is a yellow leather box.It is said that Song Meiling brought this suitcase from the mainland to Taiwan with its simple form and slightly dark color, and it contained all kinds of her jewelry.Most of them are pearl jewelry, or some diamond-studded jewelry. There are quite a lot of pure diamond jewelry. For example, the earrings and rings she often wears are all diamond-studded. As for the pearl necklace, she rarely wears it, probably only for state banquets will be worn.

Song Meiling is a woman who loves art.Therefore, in her treasure house, there are also antiques such as some records and antique gramophones. Most of those records were classical pieces, either for violin or piano solo.Miss Kong Er often plays records for her aunt. This mysterious treasure house also stores money. An entourage of Chiang Kai-shek and his wife recalled: "Once, I saw Chiang Kai-shek's secretary XX, carrying a large hard-shell suitcase, coming in from the main entrance of the mansion to go upstairs. At the same time that a certain secretary was going upstairs Chiang Kai-shek happened to ring the bell to ask me to go upstairs. He met a certain secretary at the top of the stairs and greeted each other. Seeing that he was struggling, I kindly moved forward to help him carry it. However, he was very Sensitively took a step back, and said repeatedly: "You don't need your help, thank you! I can, I can, don't come!" Then I struggled to carry the box with both hands, and went upstairs alone."

"I felt very strange at the time, why was he so mysterious? I just wanted to help him, nothing else, and I was usually very close friends with a certain secretary." "Later, I learned from other sources that a certain secretary came to the mansion that day with a box of US dollar bills, and he wanted to give that cash to Chiang Kai-shek..." "But what does Chiang Kai-shek do with so much dollar cash?" "I recalled the scene that day. After I went upstairs with a certain secretary, I exited Chiang Kai-shek's room. My task was to go to the room to do cleaning work after Chiang Kai-shek left the room, and before that, stay at Chiang Kai-shek's door at any time. Wait for his call."

"A certain secretary went in for about half an hour, and then left the room empty-handed. Apart from me, there was a guard on duty sitting at the door of Chiang Kai-shek. If a certain secretary took out that suitcase, he would surely be unable to escape According to our eyes, it is obvious that the suitcase was taken from another door of Chiang Kai-shek's study by another person. The most likely place to hide the money is Soong Meiling's room." It should be said that this passage is credible. As for where the money, which is estimated to be in millions of dollars, has gone, outsiders are just guessing.One is that it was given to Nixon as a sponsor for the US presidential election, and it was this later president who opened up relations with mainland China, which caused Lao Jiang to have a heart attack.

How many suitcases are there in Song Meiling's "treasure house"? On September 21, 1991, the "President" of China Airlines sent Song Meiling to the United States on a special plane, which caused a lot of talk: "What did Madam Jiang take away? What did she leave behind?" "According to China Airlines personnel, the old lady has more than 90 pieces of luggage this time, most of which contain 'clothing', 'cheongsam', 'daily utensils' and 'washing items' for her own use, among which there is a box of bird’s nest and mooncakes.”

"Madame Chiang is very fond of art and painting. It is believed that when she left Taiwan, a large part of her original collection of antiques, calligraphy and paintings should also be consigned with her. In addition, the old lady is very nostalgic, and some old-fashioned exquisite woodcarving furniture that is easy to move may also be there. Some of them were carefully packaged and randomly shipped to American mansions..." Then, the crew of the plane was busy loading and unloading luggage, which contained more than 100 boxes.Of course, there are also personal items of the entourage.

Song Meiling's "treasure house" is a "mystery".
