</p><p>Released in a newspaper on Sept. 19, 1927, together with an article by A. P.
Topic of the article was a claim made by Chiang Kai-Shek, that Chen Jieru was not his wife, but only his concubine.
(He made this claim after she went to the United States and about two months before he married Soong Meiling, who was politically more convenient.
