n modern Chinese fairy tale is the story of three sisters from Shanghai, who for most of the twentieth century were at the centre of power in China. It was sometimes said that one loved money, one loved power and one loved her country, but there was far more to the soong sisters than these caricatures. As China battled through a hundred years of Wars, revolutions and seismic transformations, each sister played an important, sometimes critical role, and left an indelible mark on history. Red sister, ching-ling, married sun yat-sen, founding father of the Chinese Republic, and later became maos vice-chair. Little sister, may-ling, was Madame chiang kai-shek, first lady of the pre-communist nationalist China and a major political figure in her own right. Big sister, ei-ling, was chiangs unofficial main adviser. She made herself one of Chinas richest women and her husband chiangs prime Minister. All three sisters enjoyed tremendous privilege and glory, but also endured constant attacks and mortal danger. They showed great courage and experienced passionate love, as well as despair and heartbreak. The relationship between them was highly charged emotionally, especially once they had embraced opposing political camps and ching-ling dedicated herself to destroying her two sisters world. big sister, little sister, red sister
