Song Qingling was born on January 27, 1893 in Shanghai to a family of pastors and industrialists.
Song Qingling, who came from a well-to-do family, went to the United States to study in 1907, where she received a good education and had her own knowledge and understanding of freedom and democracy.
Soon after graduating from university with a Bachelor of Arts degree, Soong Ching Ling served as Sun Yat-sen's assistant, which also began her 70-year revolutionary career, and her status as the "Mother of the Nation" was well deserved.
The most dangerous and wise event in Soong Ching Ling's revolutionary career should be the rescue of the "Seven Gentlemen Incident"
In November 1936, when Soong Ching Ling learned that the Kuomintang reactionaries had illegally detained 7 well-known patriots, she was indignant and immediately issued a solemn statement to the press: "Regarding the arrest of 7 leaders of the All-China Federation for the Salvation of the Nation from all walks of life, in the name of the executive committee of this organization, I hereby protest against this illegal arrest and oppose the imposition of unfounded charges on them... He also openly questioned Chiang Kai-shek of the Kuomintang: "Is patriotism a crime?" Under Song Qingling's one powerful question after another, the other party was dumbfounded. In order to rescue the comrades faster, Song Qingling, led He Xiangning, Hu Yuzhi and more than 10 other comrades of the National Salvation Congress, to the Suzhou High Court at that time with their luggage. And questioned the authorities... In the end, 7 patriotic leaders were successfully rescued.
When Song Qingling died, he died at the age of 88. She was also the only woman to have the United Nations lower its flag to half-mast in mourning.
