This book takes the personal growth of the three sisters, Soong Ai-ling, Soong Qing-ling, and Soong Mei-ling, as the main thread, with a story that seeks 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”—and emphasizes the second major split of the Soong family and its relationship with the Chinese revolution. The personal emotional journeys of the three sisters and their deep bond as sisters profoundly depict the theme that political divisions separate them, but family ties cannot sever the unbreakable bond of blood.
