Soong Ching-Ling was born in Shanghai on the 27th of January in 1893 to well-educated, Christian parents. Before marrying Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Ching-ling travelled to the United States for her education; she and her three sisters became the first Chinese girls to be educated in the states. At the age of eighteen, Ching-ling began to speak out against the conditions of women in her country in a non-violent manner which expressed her ideals of Liberty and Equality. For the next seven decades, Soong Ching-ling became an active character within both the political and social arenas of Chinese culture. She came to be known as "the Mother of China" by both the main political parties, the Kuomintang and the Communists.
| A Brief Timeline of the Life of Soong Ching-Ling | ||
| 1893 | Born. | |
| 1915 | Marries Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the first Chinese Republic. Together they struggle to bring social and economic order to the chaos of post-Imperial China. | |
| 1924 | El • The Soong sisters: Women of influence in 20th Century ChinaThe youngest sister, Meiling, did not immediately marry. But all three sisters were very much in the public eye, and in the news magazines almost as often as film stars, says Verity Wilson, who has written several books on Chinese clothing and culture. "They were constantly on show in a way that the imperial family in days gone by, had never been," she says. But life wasn't just a round of photo opportunities and jazz. Qingling's husband Sun Yatsen died in 1925 and his movement split into warring camps. His successor, Chiang Kaishek, was a no-nonsense military man, some would say a fascist. Qingling was horrified by his tactics. And doubly horrified when she discovered her younger sister Meiling was planning to marry him. In Mabel Cheung's film, she complains to her elder sister Ailing that Chiang Kaishek is just trying to use the Soong family name to boost his career. "So what?" | |
