Chiang Kai-shek
Chiang Kai-shek (31 October 1887 – 5 April 1975), also known as Chiang Chung-cheng and romanized via Mandarin as Chiang Chieh-shih and Jiang Jieshi, was a Chinese nationalist politician, revolutionary and military leader who served as the leader of the Republic of China between 1928 and 1975, first in mainland China until 1949
and then in Taiwan until his death.
Born in Chekiang Province, Chiang was a member of the Kuomintang and a lieutenant of Sun Yat-sen in the revolution to overthrow the Beiyang government and reunify China.
With Soviet and communist (CCP) help, Chiang organized the military for Sun's Canton Nationalist Government and headed the Whampoa Military Academy.
Commander in chief of the National Revolutionary Army (from which he came to be known as Generalissimo), he led the Northern Expedition from 1926 to 1928, before defeating a coalition of warlords and nominally reunifying China under a new Nationalist government.
Midway through the campaign, the KMT–CPC alliance broke down and Chiang purged the communists inside the party, triggering a civil war with the CCP, which he eventually lost in 1949.
As leader of the Republic of China in the Nanjing decade, Chiang sought to strike a difficult balance between the modernizing China while also devoting resources to defending the nation against the impending Japanese threat.
Trying to avoid a war with Japan while hostilities with CCP continued, he was kidnapped in the Xi'an Incident and obliged to form an Anti-Japanese United Front with the CCP.
Following the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in 1937, he mobilized China for the Second Sino-Japanese War.
For eight years he led the war of resistance against a vastly superior enemy, mostly from the wartime capital Chongqing.
As the leader of a major Allied power, Chiang met with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the Cairo Conference to discuss terms for Japanese surrender.
No sooner had the Second World War ended than the Civil War with the communists, by then led by Mao Zedong, resumed.
Under Chiang's command, the nationalists were mostly defeated in a few decisive battles in 1948.
In 1949 Chiang's government and army retreated to Taiwan, where Chiang imposed martial law and persecuted critics during the White Terror.
Presiding over a period of social reforms and economic prosperity, Chiang won five elections to six-year terms as President of the Republic of China and was Director-General of the Kuomintang until his death in 1975, three years into his fifth term as President and just one year before Mao's death.
One of the longest-serving non-royal head of states in the 20th century
, Chiang was the longest-serving non-royal ruler of China having held the post for 46 years.
Like Mao, he is regarded as a controversial figure.
Supporters credit him with playing a major part in unifying the nation and leading the Chinese resistance against Japan, as well as with countering Soviet-communist encroachment.
Detractors and critics denounce him as a dictator at the front of an authoritarian regime who suppressed opponents.

Yao Yecheng
Yao Yecheng (26 August 1887 – 1966), along with Chen Jieru ("Jennie", 1906–1971) was among the two concubines of Nationalist Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek (1887–1975) during the time when Chiang was also in an arranged marriage to Mao Fumei (1882–1939).
In 1921, Chiang married Jennie.
In 1927, Chiang divorced Mao Fumei and exiled Jennie—denying any association with the latter.
In the busy year of 1927, Chiang also dropped Yao and married Soong Mei-ling ("MeilingMadame Chiang", 1897–2003).
Yao was a sing-song girl whom Chiang "took as his concubine" though at the time she "belonged to an elderly man who became jealous of her relationship" with Chiang.
Once as she was serving bubbling-hot soup at a meal with both Chiang and the elderly patron present, the elder seized the bowl and emptied it onto her head while chiding her about the contacts with Chiang—an assault in which "the boiling liquid disfigured her, and ruined her career of entertaining men in teahouses."
Yao lived with Chiang for a time at a villa at 99 Daichengqiao Road in Suzhou.
The spacious villa, later renamed Garden Hotel Suzhou, still stands and was used by the Communist Chinese government as an "official state guest house for leaders of the Party, the State and foreign countries" and visiting celebrities.
It is now a hotel open to the general public.
Chiang entrusted Yao with the parenting of his adopted son Chiang Wei-kuo ("Wego", 1916–1997).
Young "Wego" grew up to study military tactics in Nazi Germany where he commanded a Panzer unit before being recalled to China in 1938 where he was quickly promoted through ranks up to Major General in the Kuomintang's National Revolutionary Army; he later was a senior officer in the Taiwanese Republic of China Armed Forces (until 1964 when he was moved to figurehead status after the Hukou Incident).
Yao died in Taiwan in 1966 at age 79.
Mao Fumei
Mao Fumei (9 November 1882 – 12 December 1939) was the first wife of Chiang Kai-shek, and the biological mother of Chiang Ching-Kuo.
Mao was born in Fenghua, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, and, like most women of the era, she was illiterate.
She married Chiang Kai-shek in an arranged marriage in 1901.
When Chiang came back from Japan he divorced her in 1921.
She was killed in 1939 in a Japanese air raid on the in Xikou.

Question: What nationality is Mao Fumei's husband?
