wife When an interviewer, urging him to send
Madame Chang to America, said, She would
be worth division to you there" Chang re-
piled, "Ah, but she is worth 10 divisions to

Chang knows as well as any wife alive
what every woman knows - that to put
her husbands interests and aims and dreams
first, to guide and never to lead, to counsel
and never to command, to suggest and never
to insist, is to stay not only supreme in his
heart but foremost in his councils Today
everyone in China knows that the Gissimo is
the handspring of China's great war effort
and the dynamo of the Chinese Renaissance
- but they also know that Madame Chang
supplies much of the electrical energy

is, at best, the moon, while he is the sun of

dame believes that without her husband
China today would probably be japanese

still be in there fighting, not 50 yell, perhaps
but still fighting. For Is long years she
has shared - not shouldered - all his disap-
pointments, discomforts and dangers.
After seven-year courtship - courtship
of which her Christian Chinese mother did not
approve because at that time young General
Chang was heathen Miss Mayling Soong

to the altar. They were married in Shanghai
in 1927 by the President of the Y.M.C.A.
Mayling wore beautiful white veil and car

But unlike any Western bride, from that day

she slept and ate with him

best mothers. Perhaps no other woman living
has played the role of mother to so many
babies, children and young boys and girls.
She has personally adopted 10000 war or
phans. She has made it her unique business
to see, not only that they are fed and clothed,
instructed to read and write, given vocational
training, but that like good children of good
mother, they grow up loving one another and
China. She spends hours and days of her
time, visiting with them, talking with them,
singing and playing with them. planning and
hoping for them.
THIRD: Madame Chang is one of the worlds
great organizers. In the early days of her mar
riage she started what came to be known as
the New Life Movement in China. This move
ment, ridiculed at first by the intelligentsia,
began by fighting for nationwide campaign
against dirty houses and dirty bodies against
splitting in public places and against frivolities
OF all sorts among the upper classes. But
through the years the movement has grad
ually widened until it is now dynamic polit-
ical and social force in China Today it has
enlisted the aid of Chinese women every-
where - brought Chinese women who have
never before been out of their back yards"
into the arena of public life; inspired them to
take part in government, to educate the ''un-
derprivileged"; to instruct young girls how to
be healthy and useful mothers; to institute
schools for vocational training, handicrafts
and scientific farming; to fight womans war
against sloth. corruption and ignorance among
the masses; to help do away with child slavery,
the scourge of China" and opium smoking
(smugglers today are summarily shot in
China) - in short, to take vigorous part
in the reconstruction of China, in the verv
midst of Japans brutal effort to destroy it.
No feminist, Madame Chang has neverthe-
less liberated for useful social activity more

members of her sex than any other woman
alive.
FOURTH: She is the nearest thing to Joan
Of Arc that this DECADE has produced For a long
time she was Chief of China's Air Force. She
was one of the first in China to see the i'm
portance of air power in modern combat
With her air generals she plotted the cam
paigns of Chinas. young air service until
when the World War broke over Europe, her
air force, getting no further reinforcements
from Germany or Russia, was whitfield out of
the skies by the vastly superior Jap planes
When at last China constructed its own plane
factories and began to build up its own air
force again - she turned the Job over to
generals who had at last become as belliger-
emily alr-minded as she was. She has visited
the front lines under shell-6re time and time
again with the Gissimo and in the many
bombings she has undergone, she is the first to
leave her shelter and 60 among the soldiers and
citizens to rally them
FIFTH: She is also the nearest thing to a
Florence Nightingale that this decade has pro-
duced. She has worked incessantly to develop
strong and well-equipped Chinese Red
Cross: In land where Chinese ladies were
taught throughout the centuries never to
lose face" before the lower classes by serving
them, in land traditionally Indifferent to-
wards wholesale suffering, she has herself
washed the gangrened feet of farmer soldiers
and bound the wounds of peasants caught in
air raids. Her example has aroused the peo-
PIE particularly the upper classes - to a
oelated appreciation of the sufferings and
sacrifices of their soldiers and civilians
