Soong Ching Ling was a very important person in Chinese history. She was born in Sharghai in 1893 to well educated Christian Parents, Soong.Ching-ling traveled to the Unite States with her 2 sisters and were educated at Wesley College. They all graduated as one of the first Chinese girls to get this type of education.She began to speak out against the conditions of the women in her country in a non violent manner. 
As the Wesley education and influence gave thought of emancipation of Soong Ching-ling when she understood and she saw the plight of Chinese woman beginning with the issue of arranged marriages. However the sisters returned to China where they all married important to important people.
All three play an important part in Chinese history. Soong Ling married a Dr. Sun Yat-sen, which only lasted ten years before his death. However, she not only became his wife and a stong polical collegue of his. In a time when women were invisible in the eyes of society, few women would show their faces in public. He was much older then she, but she appeared in public with her husband and became first consort of a plitical leader anywhere in the world. A kin to the ” First Lady” of China Even .Meeting President Roosevelt and his First Lady, Elenore and addressing Congress.
She went on to lead a political party during WWII. Even her sisters husband were with the opposition party. The two parties untied during the war of aggression by the Japanese. After the war her sisters husband became president and Soong was a voice of opposition. Our guide said that Soong sisters husband hated outspoken Soong was and wanted her eliminated but that couldn’t happen because she was her sister sister and she was loved by the people. This is how the story goes.
