Talk:Soong Ching-ling

Untitled

I believe she joined the communist party much earlier than 1984. Whoever wrote this page should revise this topic more profoundly. I very discontent about this mistake and hope someone will fix it immediately.

It's not a mistake. Here are several references, and there are dozens of others.....

Soong was not a Communist Party member for most of her life, and it seems likely that she was unaware that she had been made a member. In Chinese terms Soong was considered a member of the united front allied with the Communist Party.

Even when she was given a membership, it was purely honorary position. Not to mention that she couldn't be a "real" member, belonging to the different political organization.

This is a Wiki. You should feel free to fix it yourself. --Jiang 05:41, 17 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Page move

"Soong Ching-ling" is by far the most common form of her name (20000 on google) while "Rosamond Soong" is seldom used (134 on google). moved page back to original location--Jiang 10:27, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Soong Ching-ling and education.

From my understanding, Soong Ching-ling was not able to have children. There are many kindergardens in China named after her. I am not sure of the connection.

Also, it is possible to visit a former residence of Soong Ching-Ling in Shanghai. It is located on Huahai Zhong Rd near the intersection of Wanping Rd.

Last Paragraph Needs Revision

Although Ching-ling remained in mainland China while Soong May-ling, or Madame Chiang Kai-shek, her younger sister fled to Taiwan with her husband Chiang Kai-shek, both are today quite beloved and memorized by the public in the mainland for their unique charismas and contribution. However, both of them lived long life to witness the marginalization of their respective political beliefs and themselves in China's history, and the conflict between them, with their era, is gone.

Removed text as it is very poorly written and pure speculation. Prince Roy (talk) 17:32, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Asia's first female head of state?!

Soong Ching-ling was not the first in Asia, The first was a woman born in the qing dynasty who ruled the republic of Tannu Tuva. --82.134.154.25 (talk) 17:19, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

That is true. Her name was Khertek Anchimaa-Toka. I'll simply remove the reference to Soong Ching-Ling being first. -- User:Natsymir

The Cultural Revolution and Song Qing Ling

I recall reading on this article, a few years back, a short paragraph regarding how Song was "struggled against" during the Cultural revolution. I also recall reading about how her sister in Taiwan actually tried to visit her or to have her "emigrated" to Taiwan? Who removed that stuff? If there are proper citations for that, please would someone bring that back? Children of the dragon (talk) 10:58, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Soong's college

For about the third time the college was edited from Wesleyan to Wellesley. This is wrong; Soong attended Wesleyan College in Macon, Georgia, not Wellesley College in Massachusetts. Every biographical sources plainly says so, including all the works cited in this article. Do not change things like this unless you have a good source and make sure you cite the source in a standard research format. Rgr09 (talk) 02:03, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
