The four major families generally refer to the four major families of Jiang, Song, Kong and Chen, which refer to the four families that controlled China’s political and economic lifeline in the first half of the 20th century, namely the Chiang Zhongzheng family, the Song Ziwen family, the Kong Xiangxi family and the Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu families. There is a saying: the Jiang family's world is the Chen family's party, and the Song family's sisters are the Kong family's wealth. Chiang Kai-shek is the undoubted leader of the "Four Great Families". With Chiang Zhongzheng's talent and ambition, the once extremely illustrious "Four Great Families" - "Chiang, Song, Kong, Chen" came into being. In addition, there are also the four major families in Dream of Red Mansions, the four major families in colleges and universities, the four major families in the United States, and the four major families in Death.

The following are the four major families in the United States......The Adams family, the Roosevelt family, the Kennedy family and the Bush family.

The first is the Adams family at the beginning of the founding of the United States. The father and son of this family, John Adams and John Quincy Adams, served as the second and sixth presidents of the United States. The Adams family has an inseparable and close connection with American history: Samuel Adams personally participated in the initiation and organization of the American Revolution; John Adams was one of the four drafters of the American Declaration of Independence and served as the first The first vice president, the second president; and John Adams's son John Quincy Adams, after the independence of the United States, served as ambassador to Prussia, the Netherlands and Russia, a member of the House of Representatives, and secretary of state, and later became the sixth president of the United States. President. Some people jokingly call the Adams family "the first dynasty in American history." This is not an exaggeration, because the only three founders of the United States of America who can compare with it are Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson, but none of them has the legal status of a male. heir.

The second largest family is the Roosevelt family. The Roosevelt family has more than 300 years of history in the United States. Of course, it is well known that there are 2 US presidents from this family. In this family, two uncles and nephews, Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt, served as presidents of the United States. Theodore Roosevelt became president in 1901, at the age of 43. In 1905 he was re-elected president. The famous "carrot and stick" expansionist policy came from Roosevelt. Franklin D. Roosevelt is his distant nephew, and he is better known to people. He is the only person in the history of the United States to serve four consecutive terms as president. From March 1933 until his death in April 1945, he served for 12 years. Year.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was born in New York. His father, James Roosevelt, was a millionaire. His mother, Sara Delano, is 26 years younger than his father. Roosevelt studied at Harvard University and Columbia University. In 1910, he became a New York State Senator. In 1913, he was appointed Deputy Secretary of the Navy. In 1921, he became disabled due to poliomyelitis (commonly known as poliomyelitis). Served as governor of New York State in 1928. Won the presidential election in 1932. After taking power, he used the "New Deal" to deal with the economic crisis, which was quite effective, so he was re-elected in the 1936, 1940, and 1944 elections. At the beginning of World War II, the United States adopted a policy of non-intervention and appeasement towards Hitler, but provided arms and supplies to the Allies under the Lend-Lease Act. At the end of 1941, the United States entered the war. Roosevelt represented the United States twice at the "Big Three" meetings of the Allied Powers. Roosevelt died in office due to a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 63.

In addition to being successful in politics, the Roosevelt family is also famous in the business field. When New York was founded, most of the real estate from 22nd Street to 46th Street in Manhattan, and from 5th Avenue to the Hudson River was owned by the Roosevelt family. Roads, highways and buildings named after the Roosevelt family can be seen in many major cities in the United States, including the famous USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier in the US Navy. Since the 19th century, the Roosevelt family has begun to develop and achieve significant achievements in finance and investment. In addition to managing their own family assets, the Roosevelt family also manages funds entrusted by others. The Roosevelt Trust has a history of more than 100 years and has numerous investments around the world.

The third one is the Kennedy family that everyone is very familiar with. The Kennedy family is descended from immigrants who came to the United States from Ireland. Kennedy's great-grandfather was a native of Wexford, Ireland, and served as a congressman from Massachusetts. The Kennedy family arose during the time of Joseph Patrick Kennedy. At the age of 25, Kennedy was president of a Boston bank. When he married the daughter of the mayor of Boston, he began to enter the inner circle of local politics. Later, he was able to serve as the U.S. ambassador to Britain because of his support for Franklin Roosevelt's successful election as president. He had nine children, four boys and five girls, and John F. Kennedy was the second son. The Kennedy family has a long-held dream: the presidential dream. Someone in this family must become the president of the United States. Joseph once swore when he was praying in church: I have reached the highest peak of wealth, and I want my son to reach the highest peak of power. Joseph Kennedy's four sons, except for the eldest son who died in a plane crash in his early years, the other three sons are all prominent figures in politics. John F. Kennedy first served as a senator and was elected as the 35th President of the United States in 1961. He was assassinated on November 22, 1963. Robert Kennedy, who served as a senator and then attorney general, was shot and died in a Los Angeles hotel on the morning of June 5, 1968.

The youngest Edward Kennedy was also a senator. Edward Kennedy was elected to the Senate in 1962 and has been elected to the U.S. Senate for 46 years. Edward Kennedy is one of five senators in U.S. history who served in the Senate for more than forty years. Edward Kennedy, the most promising of the Kennedys, failed to run for president. However, American politicians believe that this may be his luck, because he is the only one of the three brothers who survived. As some people say, if he is elected president (or even nominated to run for president), he is likely to follow in the footsteps of his two brothers.

The situation of the next generation of the Kennedy family is not good. Several people are crazy drug addicts. Robert Kennedy’s son Bobby was sentenced for drug abuse in 1983. His younger brother David was even worse, dying of a drug addiction the following year. Originally, the family's last hope rested on John F. Kennedy Jr. He is handsome, popular, and has the ability to revitalize the Kennedy family. But a plane crash cut off the Kennedy family's last hope. Perhaps the troubled Kennedy family will pin its hopes for a comeback on the next generation. In 1960, the American "Happiness" magazine ranked the Kennedy family as the twelfth largest family in the United States, with estimated assets of US$200-400 million (about US$7 billion today). According to statistics, there are currently 26 members of the Kennedy family active in American politics.

The fourth family is the Bush family. The Bush family has been involved in politics for at least four generations. Bush's great-grandfather, Samuel P. Bush, was a steel and oil tycoon who served as president of the National Business Association and an adviser to President Hoover. The first person to gain a foothold in the political arena was Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush. He first engaged in business and then entered politics. He served as a federal senator for many years and met President Eisenhower, which laid the foundation for future generations to enter politics. Prescott's son, George Bush, has successively served as a member of Congress, ambassador to the United Nations, director of the CIA and other important positions. He served two terms as vice president during the Reagan administration and became president of the United States in 1989. Today, George Bush's two sons have become pivotal figures in American politics. The development trajectory of the eldest son, George Walker Bush, is very similar to that of his father. After graduating from Yale University, he entered the oil industry and later served as governor of Texas and two terms as president of the United States. Jeb Bush, the second son, served two terms as governor of Florida. The next generation of the Bush family is also keen to expand the family's political territory.
