Can you tell or guess who's the first or second or third wife of Mao Zedong's?
Here come some little stories of the three: Mao's first wife 杨开慧 was the daughter of a well-known scholar and professor in Beijing University (Peking University, formerly Yan4 Jing1 University 燕京大学, equals to Harvard 哈佛 of the U.S.) from the same village of Hunan 湖南 province, she's been killed at young age by a local warlord's army because of her marriage to Mao Zedong. And Mao's second wife 贺子珍, tall & slender, was considered as one of the most beautiful and educated young ladies in that local, of Jiang1 Xi1 江西 province, and later in that local Red Army base. She was the one who accompanied Mao Zedong accomplish 25,000 Chinese miles of Long March and she's among only a few female Red Army soldiers who survived from the Long March after the arrival of Yanan 延安. She lived long and passed away naturally. Mao's third wife 江青 was a young movie star in Shanghai at age 20, and she went to Yan2 An1 延安 when she's 23 years old, then married Mao Zedong the next year in 延安 of 1938. She committed suicide after was in Beijing's Qincheng Jail 秦城监狱 for 15 years at age 77, of 1991.
Reading recommendation particularly for this post: Red Star Over China, by Edgar R. Snow, 1937
Personally I like the comments within the introduction of the book: Thus in the period when the Japanese expansion over Manchuria and into North China dominated the headlines, this young American had not only reported the events of the day but had got behind them into some contact with the minds and feelings of Chinese patriotic youth. He had proved himself a young man of broad human sympathy, aware of the revolutionary stirrings among China's intellectuals, and able to meet them with some elementary use of the Chinese language. More than this, Ed Snow was an activist, ready to encourage worthy causes rather than be a purely passive spectator. Most of all, he had proved himself a zealous factual reporter, able to appraise the major trends of the day and describe them in vivid color for the American reading public. (p 12)
