Historical records

During the Anti Japanese War, Song Qingling came to Chongqing twice and lived and worked in Chongqing for more than four years. On March 31, 1940, accompanied by her two sisters, Soong Ching Ling came to the wartime capital Chongqing for the first time, which attracted the attention of people from all walks of life and was the center of media discussion at that time. However, Song Qingling decided to go to Chongqing not because of the personal relationship of the three sisters, but for the purpose of uniting in the war of resistance against Japan. It was to realize her ideal of unity, unity and uniting in the war of resistance against Japan by action. Song Qingling expounded this point of view in her talk "impressions of traveling in Chongqing".

As soon as Song Qingling arrived in Chongqing, accompanied by her sister, she visited the children in Chongqing child care center in just a few days. They also went to Geleshan No.1 child care home to see the orphans who were taken in during the war, and to the Fifth Army Hospital, the General Hospital of friends of the wounded society, to express their sympathy to the wounded. She keeps going out to inspect, meet women representatives, write articles and letters, and watch children's performances. Full of concern for the fate of the motherland, women and children. On May 9, Soong flew back to Hong Kong with her sisters. The trip of the three sisters caused a great sensation at home and abroad and was regarded as a symbol of China's unity in the war of resistance against Japan.

On December 8, 1941, the Pacific War broke out. On December 10, Song Qingling came to Chongqing from Hong Kong with the help of Liao Chengzhi and other CPC members.

The main purpose of Soong's visit to Chongqing is to rebuild the "alliance to defend China.". She had no house in Chongqing, so she had to stay with her elder sister song ailing, whose husband was Kong Xiangxi, finance minister of the Kuomintang. Song Qingling's every move in the Kong family was monitored by the servants of the Kong family, and she was in a dangerous situation. She could not carry out the work of "protecting the league". She asked someone to find a new house. With the help of her younger brother Song Ziwen, she lived in No. 3 of LiangLuKou new village (now No. 5 of LiangLuKou New Village). Song Qingling is very happy to tell Deng Yingchao that she has won "freedom in the first floor" and that her friends can come to visit at any time.

In 1938, Song Qingling invited famous people from home and abroad in Hong Kong to organize the alliance. In June of the same year, Soong Ching Ling's residence in Ka Lam side road, Kowloon, Hong Kong was officially established by Soong Ching Ling. Song Qingling is the chairman of baomeng, Song Ziwen is the president, Hilda Selvin Clark is the honorary secretary, Norman France is the honorary treasurer and Epstein is in charge of publicity. ① Baomeng is a very extensive united front organization, which has attracted people from all walks of life and political parties at home and abroad. After the founding meeting, Song Qingling, Song Ziwen, Mrs. Clark, Frances and Epstein jointly signed the Declaration on the establishment of the Alliance for the defense of China, which determined the organizational nature and main tasks of the alliance. The Manifesto pointed out: "the objectives of the alliance are two: first, to encourage all peace loving and democratic people all over the world to make further efforts to supply China with medicine and relief materials during the current anti Japanese war. 2、 Focus and cooperate closely to enhance the effectiveness of such efforts. " ② The main activities are to mobilize and win over the overseas Chinese and people from all over the world to support China's Anti Japanese War, and the main goal is to assist the Anti Japanese forces led by the Communist Party of China. He published the news bulletin of the Alliance for the defense of China.

As soon as Soong Ching Ling moved to Xincun No.3, she kept writing letters to foreign countries, inviting international friends such as Smedley, snow, and Eli, who were members of the former baomeng Central Committee, to come to Chongqing to rebuild baomeng. Zhou Enlai transferred Liao Mengxing to Chongqing to assist Song Qingling in her "alliance protection" work. In August 1942, the "baomeng" Central Committee was reestablished in Chongqing. Song Qingling still served as the chairman, with members including Epstein, Anna Wang, Liao Mengxing, John Foster, Jane steinerforth Baker, and sushi Chen. Honorary members: Claire bush, Feng Yuxiang, He Xiangning, Sun Ke, Mao Dun, Richard Walsh, etc. ③ Baomeng's office is located in Song Qingling's apartment, No. 3, new village, LiangLuKou, Chongqing. Song Qingling, Wang Anna and Liao Mengxing are the only three people who often work in baomeng office.

Chongqing is the wartime capital, so it is very difficult to carry out the work of "protecting the league" in the Kuomintang controlled areas, and it often encounters many obstacles from all aspects of the Kuomintang. In the "baomeng" office --- around Soong Ching Ling's apartment, there are often spies. The official publication "baomeng news bulletin" was restricted by the KMT and could not get permission. In addition to the soaring domestic prices during the war, "baomeng" work was even more difficult. In her article from Hong Kong to Chongqing, Song Qingling expounded the work of "baomeng" in the past five years and the difficulties in carrying out "baomeng" work in Chongqing. However, Soong Ching Ling did not flinch. She used her high reputation in the world to break through all kinds of blockades imposed by the Kuomintang, constantly wrote letters to contact with foreign countries, reported the real situation of the Chinese people's Anti Japanese War, and sought international assistance. We should actively organize fund-raising, provide relief to refugees, wounded soldiers and children, organize materials, and continuously transport large amounts of funds, medicines, medical equipment, food supplies and other relief materials to the people in the Anti Japanese base areas under the leadership of the Communist Party of China through various channels, and actively introduce and transport foreign doctors to work in the Anti Japanese base areas. He made outstanding contributions to supporting the Chinese people in the Anti Japanese war.

Today, the courtyard where Soong Qingling lives, fights and works in Chongqing is a national key cultural relic protection unit. It is the exhibition hall of Soong Qingling's former residence in Chongqing. It is also the site of the "Alliance for the defense of China" led by Soong Qingling during the Anti Japanese war. There are many tall buildings around the exhibition hall, which makes the former residence of Soong Ching Ling particularly elegant.
