She was the First Lady of the Republic of China between 1948 and 1975, married to Generalissimo and President Chiang Kai-Shek. She lived from 1898 to 2003. With her first class education in the USA, and with her resultant excellent English she played an important role in political discussions. She was a politician and involved in charitable causes, as well as an accomplished painter in the traditional Chinese style, and after the death of her husband in 1975, moved from Taiwan back to the USA. Around 1988 to 1990 she did return to Taiwan (where this book was signed) and tried and become involved in politics again, but this time was unsuccessful, and returned to the USA. She was a beautiful and formidable lady, and has even been nicknamed The Last Empress.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 8px 0px; vertical-align: top; color: #777777; line-height: 26.239999771118164px;\"\u003e\r\n\tThis 2 volume set is a first edition set, Volume 1 being produced in 1956 (Year 45, Republic of China) and Volume 2 in 1961 (Year 50, Republic of China).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 8px 0px; vertical-align: top; color: #777777; line-height: 26.239999771118164px;\"\u003e\r\n\tPublished in Taiwan by Shih-Ling Studio, Taipei, Taiwan and printed by Benrido Co, Kyoto, Japan in exquisite Japanese style binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 8px 0px; vertical-align: top; color: #777777; line-height: 26.239999771118164px;\"\u003e\r\n\tEach volume consists on outer hardback silk covered folio which unfolds to reveal a thread-sewn book inside with silk covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 8px 0px; vertical-align: top; color: #777777; line-height: 26.239999771118164px;\"\u003e\r\n\tEach folio is approx 40cm high x 30cm wide x 2.5cm deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 8px 0px; vertical-align: top; color: #777777; line-height: 26.239999771118164px;\"\u003e\r\n\tBoth volumes carry an introductory section in both English and Chinese, with the introduction being by Chiang Kai-Shek, during his presidency.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 8px 0px; vertical-align: top; color: #777777; line-height: 26.239999771118164px;\"\u003e\r\n\tVolume 1 carries a lovely hand signed inscription by Soong May-ling.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.727272033691406px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 8px 0px; vertical-align: top; color: #777777; line-height: 26.239999771118164px;\"\u003e\r\n\tThis set is in near fine condition and is very beautiful indeed.
