Wang Guangmei

Wang Guangmei
▪ 2007

      Chinese first lady (b. Sept. 26, 1921, China—d. Oct. 13, 2006, Beijing, China), was renowned for her beauty and her bourgeois lifestyle as the fifth wife of Liu Shaoqi, who served (1959–68) as chairman of the People's Republic of China and chief theoretician for the Communist Party of China. In 1967, however, both Wang and Liu were imprisoned, victims of the Cultural Revolution of Mao Zedong. Wang, who apparently raised the ire of Mao's wife, Jiang Qing, for wearing pearls and eschewing the standard Mao uniform, was publicly humiliated and paraded around wearing a necklace made of Ping-Pong balls. Wang was released from prison in 1979 and rehabilitated—Liu died in prison—and she dedicated the remainder of her life to helping stamp out poverty.
