Mao Fumei

Mao Fumei, the first wife of Chiang Kai-shek, played a significant role in the early years of China's tumultuous history. Born into a prominent family, she married Chiang Kai-shek in 1917 and became the biological mother of Chiang Ching-Kuo, who later served as the President of the Republic of China on Taiwan. Although their marriage faced many challenges due to Chiang's political ambitions and eventual infidelities, Mao remained a steadfast partner for many years. Her life was intricately interwoven with the political landscape of China, making her an essential figure in the story of the Chiang family and the nation.
