Madame Chiang Kai-shek speaks beside her husband

Before shrubs and blossoms, Chiang Kai-shek, shaven-headed with a clipped moustache and a plain buttoned tunic with breast pockets, sits with his hands folded and his eyes turned towards his wife; Soong Mei-ling, in a high-collared qipao patterned with large flowers and with pendant earrings, speaks towards the camera. According to the source she speaks of a united China. Educated in the United States, she often spoke to American audiences for the Nationalist government her husband led.
