Thus, the actual name that Chiang received at birth was Jiang Ruiyuan ().

For the next fifteen years or so, Chiang was known as Jiang Zhiqing ( Wade-Giles: Chiang Chi-ching ).

In 1912, when Jiang Zhiqing was in Japan, he started to use the name Chiang Kai-shek ( Chinese: 蔣介石 ; Pinyin: ; Wade-Giles: Chiang Chieh-shih ) as a pen name for the articles that he published in a Chinese magazine he founded ( Voice of the Army ( Chinese: 軍聲 ).

Since Jiang Zemin became the national party chief in June 1989, all but one former Shanghai party chief was elevated to the Politburo Standing Committee, the de facto highest decision-making body in China, including Jiang Zemin ( General secretary and President ), Zhu Rongji ( Premier ), Wu Bangguo ( Chairman of the National People's Congress ), Huang Ju ( Vice Premier ), and Xi Jinping ( Vice President ).

On April 6, 1967, Liu Shaoqi was openly and widely denounced by a Zhongnanhai faction whose members included Jiang Qing and Kang Sheng, and ultimately, Mao himself.

This was followed by a protest and mass demonstrations, most notably in Wuhan on July 20, where Jiang openly denounced any " counter-revolutionary activity "; she later personally flew to Wuhan to criticize Chen Zaidao, the general in charge of the Wuhan area.

Furthermore, despite Mao's efforts to put on a show of unity at the Congress, the factional divide between Lin Biao's PLA camp and the Jiang Qing-led radical camp was intensifying.

With Mao's health on the decline, it was clear that Jiang Qing had political ambitions of her own.

But it diluted blame on Mao himself by asserting that the movement was " manipulated by the counterrevolutionary groups of Lin Biao and Jiang Qing ", who caused its worst excesses.

The group was led by Jiang Qing, and consisted of three of her close associates, Zhang Chunqiao, Yao Wenyuan, and Wang Hongwen.

During the trial, Jiang Qing in particular was extremely defiant, protesting loudly and bursting into tears at some points.

President Jiang Zemin was alerted to the demonstration by Politburo member Luo Gan, and was reportedly angered by the audacity of the demonstration — the largest since the Tiananmen Square protests ten years earlier, and called for resolute action to suppress the group.

That Falun Gong, whose belief system represented a revival of traditional Chinese religion, was being practiced by a large number of Communist Party members and members of the military was seen as particularly disturbing to Jiang Zemin.

Jiang Qing served as Mao's personal secretary in the 1940s and was head of the Film Section of the CPC Propaganda Department in the 1950s.

However, Jiang Qing's political success was limited.

Since then, Jiang Qing and Lin Biao have been branded by official historical documents in China as the " Lin Biao and Jiang Qing Counter-revolutionary Cliques " ( 林彪江青反革命集团 / 林彪江青反革命集團 ), to which most of the blame for the damage and devastation caused by the Cultural Revolution was assigned.
