The Soong Sisters, also known as the "Three Sisters of Shanghai," were three Chinese women who played important roles in the political and cultural development of China during the 20th century.
The eldest sister, Ai-ling Soong (1888-1973), married H. H. Kung, a wealthy businessman and politically connected figure who served as China's finance minister. During World War II, she served as a representative of the Chinese government in the United States.
The middle sister, Ching-ling Soong (1893-1981), married Sun Yat-sen, China's first president and founding father of the Republic of China. After Sun's death, she became a prominent figure in the Chinese Communist Party and served as the vice chairwoman of the People's Republic of China from 1959 to 1972.
The youngest sister, Mei-ling Soong (1898-2003), married Chiang Kai-shek, the leader of the Nationalist Party and a major political figure in China for several decades. During World War II, she was heavily involved in efforts to drum up support for China in the United States and Europe.
Together, the Soong Sisters played a significant role in Chinese politics and society during a period of great upheaval and change, from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the establishment of the People's Republic of China.
