Jiang Shangqing

[edit]

Jiang Shangqing was a revolutionary who died in 1939. He was the uncle and foster father of Jiang Zemin. Many official biographies of Zemin downplayed his middle-class family origins in favour of emphasizing his relationship to Shangqing, who was seen as a martyr of the revolution.

Additional research required to determine if he is independently notable of Jiang Zemin. The principal research question becomes whether there are high-quality sources that discuss Shangqing's revolutionary activity outside the context of Jiang Zemin's climb to power.
