ABSTRACT
Chiang Ch'ing is the best-known woman in modern Chinese history. In 1935 she began an affair with the film actor, writer, and leftist critic T'ang Na, and in April 1936 they were married. Her explanation of the failure of the marriage is the subject of 'Why I Parted with T'ang Na', which was published in 1937 in Lien-hua hua-pao, Shanghai. Recently various small publications have carried a number of news items concerning T'ang Na and myself. Originally she thought that she would just remain silent and let this affair pass. Because this is how it could have been, T'ang Na and she had no contact for some time, and he had no reason to come and bother me over and over again. On International Women's Day, we were very short of money and she was sick. But for an entertainment at the Young Women's Club, she ran out on that cold day with her illness and went on stage sick.
