14-year-old Chiang Kai-shek married 18-year-old Mao: the honeymoon period is two months before marriage.

Jiang Zhongzheng Zi Jieshi was born at noon on September 15th, 13th year of Guangxu reign (1887,10,31). He was born in Xikou Town, Fenghua County, Zhejiang Province, and his ancestral home is Ningbo. Jiang family is the most popular surname in Xikou. Si Qian Chiang, Chiang Kai-shek's grandfather, was a jade watch merchant, a brewer and a salt merchant. Father Jiang Minghuo, also known as Su 'an, is the second son of Jiang. He was born in the twenty-second year of Daoguang and inherited his father's business. He runs "Yutai" salt shop in Xikou and needs exclusive rights. Because of his business skills, he is smart and capable, which makes his family rich. Wang Caiyu, Chiang Kai-shek's mother, is the second staircase in Jiang Su Temple. She has two sons and two daughters. Chiang Kai-shek is the eldest son, and he was also born with salt floors.

Due to his well-off family, Chiang Kai-shek was educated in a private school from the age of 6 and took the scientific name "educated youth". 190 1 year, he married Mao, who was chosen by his mother and also from Fenghua.

Mao, the daughter of businessman Mao Dingqiu, was 18 years old when she got married, and Chiang Kai-shek was 4 years old. They never met before marriage. On the wedding day, the little son-in-law played a big joke. At 4 pm, the bride's sedan chair arrived at the door. It sounds like an explosion of happiness (bamboo) at this time. A group of children who watched the fun with the sedan chair and small guests who came to eat with adults flocked to the patio to grab the heads of firecrackers. 14-year-old Chiang Kai-shek saw this scene and immediately got carried away, rushed out, squeezed among other children, grabbed the head of firecrackers, and attracted friends and relatives to laugh. There is a saying in Fenghua that "the groom takes the lead, and it is difficult for the husband and wife to go to the end". People are jealous of this matter and think it indicates that the newlyweds may not agree. The bride Mao sitting in the sedan chair can imagine her pain. Mother Jiang stamped her feet and cursed with anger. Wang Caiyu scolded her son with tears in her eyes, counting while crying, but after her brothers, sisters and wife took turns to encourage her, she managed to stop the tears.

The relationship between the two people after marriage is really not harmonious. For example, Jiang Yu once said in his diary that Mao "fought with me again, which was really indecent." But Chen Jieru also pointed out that Mao's personal views on Mei are different from those of outsiders. According to Memoirs of Chen Jieru, when Chen Jieru and Mao met for the first time after their marriage, Mao told Chen Jieru that she and Jiang had a honeymoon period two months before their marriage. At that time, Jiang had no job and had no intention of studying. She takes her out for a walk every day, indulging in the wild interest in the mountains, but it didn't take long for Mrs. Wang to stop all this. Mrs. Wang blamed her for bringing a bad son and made him lazy. She scolded her, "I have no good food for my lazy mouth." You are such a shameless bitch. You go to the temple with a man all day and have fun everywhere. From today on, I forbid you to waste my son's time again unless you can guarantee his future. "Since then, Chiang Kai-shek and Mao have been at arm's length, and their feelings have never been harmonious.
