This article does not even state the charge against Jiang Qing. Shorne 03:42, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Encyclopedia Britannica says that she was Mao's third wife; is the current article correct in saying that she was his fourth wife?

Yes! On page 7 Jung Chang quotes Mao (The Unknown Story): 'When I was 14, my parents married me to a girl of 20. But I never lived with her...I do not consider her my wife...' Gather the confusion is of this origin. But indeed it was an actual marriage.

""" "Comment" Jung Chang's book "The Unknown Story" is not a work to rely on, it has been research by a large number of experts in this area and they all agreed on the many faults of the book. She is not a historian. Unfortunately I do not at the moment have the source for this except a leading sinologist telling me this face to face. Will return with facts. """

There are accurate accounts suggesting Mao did have an arranged marriage when he was still working as a farmer. The marriage did not formally take place, but is considered as one that had. [[User:Colipon|Colipon+(T)]] 23:02, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

If it wasn't legally recognized why are we writing "fourth wife" all over her wiki page? It contradicts Mao Zedong's page where it says she was his 3rd wife. Someone needs to fix it because it looks dumb and makes wikipedia look bad. Unless there is undeniable fact showing its his fourth wife she should be called 3rd. If we choose not to do that than change Mao's page too so its not so contradictory. Please, figure this out its really confusing for those of us just passing by and reading it.

此篇文章可能尚存错误。最后一段说道江青在1991年保外就医,在释放后自杀,但是现实说法是江青是在1991年5月14日保外就医的过程中在公寓用毛巾上吊自杀的。The last sentence sais Jiang released for medical reasons in 1991, then release. But maybe the truth isn't it. Many articles said that Jiang suicided herself on May 14, 1991, in her apartment in the time of medical with a towel.--Flsxx 01:23, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Wait, why is she listed as a "polygamist?"

[edit] Suicide

Note that the entry under Jiang Qing states that she committed suicide, but the entry under Gang of Four says that she "supposedly" committed suicide. Given the nature of the Chinese government I think it unlikely we have good information about her death, but shouldn't the two have similar language? Suggest something along the lines of "according to the government, she committed suicide", rather than getting into the implications behind "supposedly" or the presumed factuality of "she committed suicide". 70.107.171.204 (talk) 11:14, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Photograph Caption?

Shouldn't the first photo have a caption? When was it taken? Where? - Speaker for the Dead 15:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
