Red Sister, Ching-ling, married the "Father of China," Sun Yat-sen, and rose to be Mao's vice-chair.

Reviews
"Chang seamlessly chronicles the lives and marriages of the Soong sisters in this captivating triple biography . . . This juicy tale will satisfy readers interested in politics, world affairs, and family dynamics."-- Publisher's Weekly, "Chang seamlessly chronicles the lives and marriages of the Soong sisters in this captivating triple biography. . . . This juicy tale will satisfy readers interested in politics, world affairs, and family dynamics." -- Publishers Weekly "One of this autumn's biggest reads, it's an astounding story told with verve and insight"-- Stylist "Big Sister, Little Sister, Red Sister is a monumental work . . . Its three fairy-tale heroines, poised between east and west, spanned three centuries, two continents and a revolution, with consequences that reverberate, perhaps now more than ever, in all our lives to this day." --The Spectator "The book's strongest point is its nuanced sympathy for the sisters . . . The lives of the three Song sisters--the subjects of Jung Chang's spirited new book--are more than worthy of an operatic plot." -- The Guardian "[Chang] paints China's intense and complex history in bold strokes . . . It is a rollicking ride." -- Literary Review "Absorbing . . . In this lucid, wise, forgiving biography Chang gives a new twist to an old line. Behind every great man . . . is a Soong sister." -- The Times (UK) "Utterly engrossing...it stars a trio of extraordinary women, each of whom enjoyed tremendous privilege and fame, but also endured contact attached and mortal danger as well as heartbreak and despair. Their gripping collecting story reads like Wild Swans meets the Mitfords; and the history feels remarkably close to our own times too."-- The Bookseller "[Chang's] book is well worth reading, in particular for the way it shows how powerful women have helped to shape modern China. At a time when, 70 years after Mao's victory, the country's political leadership contains almost no prominent women at all, that is a particularly apposite message to hear." --The Sunday Times
