Features: At the age of 15, she married into another family and wed a man who would briefly dominate the political arena—Chiang Kai-shek. By the age of 21, she was abandoned and wandered alone in a foreign land. She witnessed the most critical seven years of Chiang Kai-shek's political career. She became extraordinary because of Chiang Kai-shek, once the glamorous wife of a commander-in-chief; but also because of Chiang Kai-shek, she remained lonely for life. The official history books of the Kuomintang deliberately concealed her, and as a result, this memoir was banned for 30 years after its completion. The book includes 145 precious historical photographs, making it highly valuable in terms of historical research.
