In 1912, Sun Yat-sen was elected as the interim president of the NNG. Yuan Shikai, who sits in Peiping, designed to force the Qing Dynasty to abdicate, seize the fruits of the revolutionary victory, and was elected as the president. After that, Sun Yat-sen disarmed and returned to the field and went to Dongying. Song Jiaoren was full of ambition, formed a parliament, ran for president, continued to promote the implementation of the republic, and was assassinated by the Yuan party instead. Hearing the bad news, Sun rushed back to the motherland, issued a manifesto against Yuan, and set off a second revolution.   The revolution finally failed. Sun and Huang Xing fled to Japan one after another. Former friends parted ways, and the domestic revolution situation is not optimistic. At this time, Soong Ching Ling appeared in Sun Yat-sen's life.
