Features: This book takes the personal growth of the three sisters, Soong Ai-ling, Soong Qing-ling, and Soong Mei-ling, as the main storyline, with a narrative that seeks to have a clear beginning and end. It focuses on their marriages, highlighting the distinct personalities of the three sisters—“one loves money, one loves the country, and one loves power.” It also emphasizes the second major split within the Soong family and its relationship with the Chinese Revolution. The personal emotional journeys and deep bond between the sisters vividly portray the theme that political divisions separate them, but family ties cannot sever the unbreakable bond of blood.
