| Summary: | The Soong family befriended Eugene B. Sledge while he was stationed in Peiping (Beijing), China at the end of World War II. Sledge describes his friendship with them and the Catholic priest Marcel von Hemelryjck as "his personal bridge back to civilization and culture after so many months of killing" in his book China Marine, which takes up Sledge's story where With The Old Breed left off. Pictured here are Margaret Soong (center), Dr. Soong's wife, her sister Anna (right), and Anna's son, Chieh-ni (left).
