T. V. Soong
In the years leading up to the revolution in 1911, Charlie Soong started a family in Shanghai with his wife from Ningbo, Ni Kwei-Tseng (倪桂珍 "Ní Guìzhēn"). The couple had their first child in 1888—a girl whom they named Soong Ai-ling. Their next daughter, Soong Ching-ling was born in 1893, followed by their first son, T. V. Soong (Soong Tse Ven), a year later. Their last daughter, Soong Mei-ling came in 1898 and was followed by the brothers T. L. Soong (Soong Tse Liang, 宋子良 "Sòng Zǐliáng") and T. A. Soong (Soong Tse An, 宋子安 "Sòng Zǐ'ān").
