Mao was born in Fenghua, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, and, like most women of the era, she was illiterate. She married Chiang Kai-shek in an arranged marriage in 1901.[1][2] When Chiang came back from Japan, he divorced her in 1921.[3] She was killed in 1939 in a Japanese air raid on the Chiang family home [zh] in Xikou.[4]
