Tan Shufen

Tan Shufen, date of birth unknown, previously worked in fund services at a bank and, while holding that bank position, was based in Hong Kong. Among her family members, her husband is Liang Jinsong. Liang Jinsong’s date of birth and upbringing are not provided, but he served as a senior banking executive in Hong Kong, specifically as the head of the bank’s Hong Kong region.

Liang Jinsong served as student union president at university, while Tan Shufen was a student union officer. The two met during their university years. Liang was actively involved in the student movement, promoted the “Ren Zhong Guan She” activities, and studied at Jinggangshan, a site esteemed in Chinese culture and by the Chinese revolutionary movement. During that time he demonstrated strong patriotic feelings toward China.

After marriage, Tan Shufen continued working at the bank, primarily responsible for fund business. Reports indicate that Liang Jinsong was promoted to Hong Kong regional head while working at Wanguo Baotong Bank. Because of work requirements, Tan Shufen resigned and became a homemaker. In a 1992 public interview, Liang mentioned that Tan did not like golf but had learned to play in order to accompany him. Up to 1997, Tan still accompanied Liang to various social engagements. Former colleagues who knew her described her as modestly dressed, down-to-earth in manner, and not very talkative in conversation.

In 1998, Liang Jinsong and Tan Shufen divorced by mutual agreement. After the divorce, Tan was allocated the marital luxury residence; details about other assets and alimony were not disclosed. It is notable that there was a connection between Tan Shufen and Chen Meixia; Chen Meixia was reported to have been involved in an amorous scandal. Tan Shufen reportedly expressed displeasure upon learning of this.

To date, detailed personal information about Tan Shufen—such as her date of birth, family background, and other personal particulars—has not been publicly disclosed. Her banking career and her marriage to Liang Jinsong are what have been reported publicly.
