孙中山和宋庆龄的婚姻,可以说是20世纪为数不多的伟大而瑰丽的婚姻之一。熟悉这段关系的学者都知道,当时,这段婚姻不仅受到孙中山的同志和战友的反对,而且受到宋庆龄父母的反对,一些据此演绎出来的小说、电影以至传记更将此描述得有声有色。然而,有根据的可靠史料实在太少。去年8月,我在日本访问期间,收到高知市民图书馆寄赠的《萱野长知·孙文关系史料集》。该书收集了宋庆龄的父亲宋嘉树写给孙中山的4封英文函件,其中 Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching Ling’s marriage can be said to be one of the few great and magnificent marriages of the 20th century. Scholars familiar with this relationship knew that at that time the marriage was not only opposed by Sun Yat-sen’s comrades and comrades-in-arms, but also by Soong Ching-ning’s parents, and some of the novels, films and biographies deduced therefrom made it even more vivid. However, there is too little reliable historical evidence. In August last year, during my visit to Japan, I received a copy of “The Historical Materials of the Relationship of Sun Ching-wen Sun-wen” sent by the Kochi Citizens’ Library. The book collected four letters from Soong Ching Ling’s father, Song Jiach, to Sun Yat-sen
