Chiang Kai-shek was born on October 31, 1887 in Fenghua, Zhejiang Province, with the young name Ruiyuan, and later changed his name to Zhongzheng (中正), the character Jieshi. He was a famous Chinese politician and military figure, and the president of the Chinese Kuomintang. His political career had an extremely important impact on the course of Modern and Contemporary Chinese history. Chiang Kai-shek went from a son of an ordinary family to the president of the Republic of China, which can be described as a magnificent wave, he once led the Chinese people to jointly resist Japan, and after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan in 1945, he also stood at the highest peak in China.
He was later forced to retire to the island in 1949 due to his perverse actions. He personally led the Chinese revolution to lay down the Jiangshan, and also personally destroyed the Jiangshan he had laid, so he had to retreat to the island and died on April 5, 1975 at the Shilin Official Residence in Taipei. He had 4 wives in his lifetime, although he divorced his previous wife when he married his next wife. But this does not deny that they were all chiang kai-shek's wives.
Chiang Kai-shek's first wife, Mao Fumei, when Chiang Kai-shek was 14 years old, was introduced by his mother to marry Mao Fumei, who was 3 years older than him. Mao Fumei was born into a solid family, but Mao Fumei was a woman who was edified from feudal etiquette and believed in the proverb that "a woman without talent is virtuous". After Mao Fumei married Chiang Kai-shek, the young couple was still quite affectionate. Chiang Kai-shek's mother also sent Mao Fumei to a new school in the county seat to study culture.
Mao Fumei and Chiang Kai-shek had a son, named Chiang Ching-kuo, and as Chiang Kai-shek embraced new ideas outside, he became dissatisfied with Mao Fumei and filed for divorce many times, but for various reasons did not divorce until he married Soong Mei-ling. But Mao Fumei has always lived in the old house of the Jiang family, people still regard her as the Jiang family, and her name is still preserved on the Jiang family tree. Mao Fumei's only relative was Chiang Ching-kuo, who lived alone in the Chiang family compound and was killed by a Japanese plane in 1939 at the Chiang family's old residence.
Yao Zhicheng was a concubine of Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Fumei after their marriage, and Yao Zhicheng was married for the second time. After the victory of the Xinhai Revolution, Chiang Kai-shek, under the leadership of his eldest brother Chen Qimei, often went to the place of the wind and moon, and only then did he know Yao Zhicheng. Later, the two lived together, Chiang Kai-shek also brought it home, mao Fumei also accepted Yao Zhicheng as a concubine, the three of them got along well, Yao Zhicheng was also filial to his mother-in-law.
Chiang Kai-shek also entrusted his son Jiang Weiguo to Yao Zhicheng to raise, but soon Chiang Kai-shek became tired of Yao Zhicheng, believing that Yao Zhicheng was not considerate enough for himself, and that Yao Zhicheng was addicted to gambling. Finally, before Chiang Kai-shek married Soong Mei-ling in 1927, Yao Zhicheng was ordered to leave and took Chiang Weiguo to Suzhou, but the living expenses were borne by Chiang Kai-shek. In 1949, Jiang Weiguo escorted Yao Zhicheng to settle on the island, and in 1966, Yao Zhicheng died on the island at the age of 79.
Chiang Kai-shek's third wife, Chen Jieru, was born in 1905, the home of small merchants in Ningbo. Chiang Kai-shek was in crisis in his previous two marriages. The 34-year-old Chiang Kai-shek met 13-year-old Chen Jieru at the home of the revolutionary elder Zhang Jingchu, and Chiang Kai-shek was attracted to Chen Jieru, a new woman, so he began a crazy pursuit of her, and the two were getting married in 1921. After that, the two also loved each other for a while.
With the improvement of Chiang Kai-shek's status, his standard for choosing a wife began to improve, and Chen Jieru, who was born in a small family of jasper, did not fit his standards, so he tricked Chen Jieru into studying in the United States, and when Chen Jieru returned from studying for five years, everything changed. Chen Jieru has never remarried, she has adopted a daughter Yaoguang, and mother and son rely on each other for their lives. When Chiang Kai-shek retired to the island in 1949, she chose to stay on the mainland and still live in Shanghai. Yao Zhicheng, a member of the CppcC National Committee of Shanghai's Luwan District, died of a stroke in 1971 at the age of 65.
Soong Mei-ling was Chiang Kai-shek's last wife and Chiang Kai-shek's favorite person, and both Soong Mei-ling's talent and Soong Mei-ling's family situation were Chiang Kai-shek's most satisfied. Although some people think that the union between the two is a political marriage, the two have also worked together for more than half a century. In 1922, when Chiang Kai-shek first met Soong Mei-ling in Sun Yat-sen's apartment, he began to make unrelenting demands on Soong Mei-ling, and it was not until 1927 that Soong Mei-ling and Chiang Kai-shek married according to Christian etiquette.
Since then, Song Meiling has begun her career as "First Lady". Soong Mei-ling was proficient in the Six Chinese, became Chiang Kai-shek's diplomatic assistant, and went to Xi'an alone to rescue Chiang Kai-shek during the Xi'an Incident, and during Chiang Kai-shek's reign, Soong Mei-ling played an immeasurable role. In 1949, Soong Mei Ling accompanied Chiang Kai-shek to the island, her position of power was still quite large, until Chiang Kai-shek's death in 1975, her power was slowly weakened, and finally she left the island to settle in the United States, died in the United States in 2003, at the age of 106, is the longest-lived woman among Chiang Kai-shek's wives, her life spanned 3 centuries.
