Features: Xikou Town, Fenghua County, Zhejiang Province, is renowned both domestically and internationally for giving birth to two generations of "rulers" of the "Jiang Family Dynasty." The official history of the Kuomintang praises it as a place "where the land is blessed and the people are outstanding." Mao Fumei entered the Jiang family at the age of 19 and was divorced at 45, maintaining a marital name with Jiang Jieshi for 26 years. She was kind-hearted and gentle, caring for her young, unstable husband, Jiang Jieshi, like an older sister. When Jiang Jieshi proposed to Song Meiling, Song Qingling immediately rejected it: "I would rather see my sister die than marry a reckless man who already has wives and concubines and likes to chase after other women." Among the three direct descendants of Jiang Jingguo, Jiang Xiaowen was charming and unrestrained, while Jiang Xiaowu was domineering and arrogant; Jiang Xiaoyong was cautious and reserved. This book is a complete record of the Jiang family during the Republic of China era. The history of the Kuomintang is largely the history of the Jiang family dynasty. The purpose of compiling this book is to gain insight into the vicissitudes of 20th-century Chinese society through the rise and fall of the Jiang family.
