Wang Ye-ping graduated from the Shanghai Foreign Language Institute.
She is Wang Zhelan's niece.
After Jiang Ze-min transferred from the Japanese puppet Central University to Shanghai Jiao Tong University, he visited her family and somewhat liked her, though neither of the two thought much of it at the time.
In 1949 when it's obvious that the CCP would soon seize power, Jiang Ze-min was struck by an idea and began pursuing Wang Ye-ping.
Jiang Shi-jun regarded his brother Jiang Shang-qing as a communist bandit, and after the brother got killed, he never gave Wang Zhelan's family any financial help.
When Wang Zhe-lan saw Jiang Ze-min and her niece were dating, she didn't realize that what Jiang Zemin wanted was the glory of the son of a revolutionary martyr.
She thought that Jiang Ze-min was different from his cold-hearted, disloyal father.

In 1956, soon after Jiang Ze-min returned to Changchun from the Soviet Union, his wife, Wang Ye-pin, and their two young sons moved from Shanghai to Changchun.
He first became the head of the department, and then was promoted to deputy director and concurrently the party branch secretary.

Upon assuming any real work, his incompetent is exposed.
The nickname "Kericon" not only suited Jiang's personality but was also befitting the standards the CCP used to promote people.
During Mao Ze Dong's Great Leap Forward, exaggerating and lying reached a peak.
In the automobile industry, within half a year, more than 200 types of automobiles were said to have been designed and manufactured.
Moreover, the CCP claimed that advanced technologies were put into the new vehicles.
China's auto-industry was said to be advancing rapidly and surpassing other countries.
One of the more advanced auto-mobile was allegedly created by Jiang Ze-min and his co-workers.
The new automobile employed a wooden air pump, and, a bamboo body.
Of course, Jiang Ze-min knew that his group's inventions were not much use, but one thing, he understood perfectly, was that only by doing so could he keep in step with the Party and continue to rise through the ranks.
The Great Leap Forward brought about economic disasters and horrible famine that...
