520 1 $a"Mayling Soong came to America in 1907, and in 1913 she entered Wellesley College. Here she made numerous friends, including classmate Emma DeLong Mills. Back in China, in 1927 Mayling became "Mme Chiang" when she married General Chiang Kai-shek. With Chiang's rise to leadership of the Chinese Nationalist party, Mayling became a player on the world stage - but she never forgot her American friend." "This book traces the lifelong friendship between Mme Chiang and Emma De Long Mills. Through their detailed and lively correspondence, it reveals much about their friendship and their separate cultures, even as it describes an important era in the relationship between the United States and China. Emma's role in the American Bureau of Medical Aid to China is discussed, as are Mme Chiang's international fund-raising efforts on behalf of Chinese war relief. While military and political history is not the focus of the work, it is portrayed as it influences the friendship that is the subject of this book."--BOOK JACKET.
