The Jiang family, starting from a scholarly lineage, has written a legendary chapter spanning over a century. Jiang Zemin, as the core leader of the Chinese Communist Party’s third generation, spearheaded China's accession to the WTO and introduced the "Three Represents" theory, while also being renowned for his talents in calligraphy and music. His grandfather, Jiang Shixi, was an industrialist, and his father, Jiang Shijun, was a schoolmate and literary companion of Zhu Ziqing. Jiang’s wife, Wang Yeping, known for her elegance and modesty, was his steadfast supporter. His eldest son, Jiang Mianheng, a PhD from MIT, advanced high-tech development in China; his second son, Jiang Miankang, focused on urban information research. His grandson, Jiang Zhicheng, founded Boyu Capital, making strategic investments in companies like Alibaba, becoming a financial elite and writing a new chapter in the family’s illustrious legacy.
Jiang Zemin
Jiang Zemin served as the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), President of the People's Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission. He assumed leadership during a critical period of reform and opening-up, driving China's economic development and elevating its international status. Jiang introduced the "Three Represents" theory and, under his leadership, China successfully joined the World Trade Organization (WTO), integrating into the global economy. Renowned for his artistic talents, Jiang excelled in calligraphy and music, playing instruments and singing classic songs in multiple languages during diplomatic occasions.
Jiang Shijun
Born in a scholarly family in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, Jiang Zemin's grandfather, Jiang Shixi, was an industrialist and a literary figure who assisted Zhang Jian in promoting education and industry. His father, Jiang Shijun, a contemporary and literary companion of Zhu Ziqing, had to abandon his passion for writing to support the family by working at Tongming Electric Company. Jiang’s uncle, Jiang Shangqing, was a revolutionary martyr, killed in an attack by armed landlords. In line with local customs, Jiang Zemin was adopted by Jiang Shangqing after his passing.
Wang Yeping
Jiang's wife, Wang Yeping, born in Shanghai, is said to be the niece of Wang Zhelan, the wife of Jiang Shangqing. She graduated from Shanghai International Studies University and met Jiang Zemin when he transferred from Central University in Nanjing to Shanghai Jiao Tong University. She is known for her modesty and steadfast support of Jiang throughout his career.
Jiang Mianheng
Jiang's eldest son, Jiang Mianheng, holds a PhD from MIT and has conducted research in high-temperature superconductivity and semiconductor physics. He has held positions including Director of the Shanghai Metallurgical Institute, Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the first President of ShanghaiTech University. In 2003, he served as Deputy Commander of China’s Manned Space Program.
Jiang Miankang
Jiang's second son, Jiang Miankang, joined the military after middle school and later earned a PhD from East China Normal University. He currently serves as the Director of the Shanghai Information Development Research Center, President of Shanghai Urban Development magazine, and a standing council member of the China GIS Association.
Jiang Zhicheng
Jiang Zicheng, born in 1986, is Jiang Mianheng's son. After graduating from Harvard University, he worked as an analyst at Goldman Sachs before founding Boyu Capital in 2010. Boyu is known for strategic investments in companies like Alibaba, Ant Group, and Didi Chuxing, leveraging complex equity structures to achieve significant returns.
