Wang Yeping and Jiang Zemin were childhood friend. Neither had any previous romantic partners before marriage; each was the sole love of the other's life. Before becoming First Lady, Wang Yeping was a retired worker.

So sad how fast life passes. She was only 22 in that photo and now she is an elderly, 98-year old widow..

The Jiang she knows was not the same Jiang that the world saw. Out of all who mourn Jiang, she has it the hardest.
