  Tomb of Song Qingling
Song Qingling (1893-1981), whose family was originally from Wenchang, Guangdong Province, was born in Shanghai and studied in America in her early ages.
Song Qingling devoted herself to Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary cause and was a loyal partner of her husband during her ten years with Sun.
Thus Song Qingling broke completely from Kuomintang that had turned renegade and continued the unfinished career of Song Yat-sen. In the 1930s, she initiated the establishment of the Chinese Alliance for the Protection of Civil Rights together with Lu Xun and Cai Yuanpei to resist the increasingly fascistic rules of Kuomintang.
