Kung Ling-kan (10 December 1916 – 1 August 1992) was the eldest son of H. H. Kung and Soong Ai-ling.[1] Kung was a 76th generation of Confucius, in which he earned the generation name "ling".
Life
In 1933, Kung Ling-kan studied at St. John's University in Shanghai. After graduating from college in 1936, he served as the Secret Secretary of the Ministry of Finance and then entered the newly established Central Trust. After the Japanese occupation of Shanghai in 1937, the Central Trust Bureau was withdrawn to Hong Kong, and Kung served as executive director and presided over the business.
In 1939, the British Hong Kong authorities seized the secret radio station and expelled it from Hong Kong. So Kung Ling-kan went to Harvard University to study in the United States, and married Man Shengli's ex-wife on the way to Manila.
In 1943, Soong Mei-ling went to the United States to visit, and Kung Ling-kan served as secretary. After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Ku returned to Shanghai to establish Yangzi Jianye Co., Ltd.
In 1948, in the late period of the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party, China experienced severe hyperinflation. The government decided to release a new currency, the 金圓券. Chiang Ching-kuo went to Shanghai to supervise the economic control. The iron fist method was used to suppress the price.[2]
Kung has transferred funds overseas and has settled in the United States. After Soong Mei-ling came to the United States, she lived in an apartment that Kung bought for her in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. In 1992, Kung Ling-kan died in New York, at the age of 76, without a son.
