He Xiangning was a renowned
artist-turned-social activist and national leader.

Born in Hong
Kong in 1879, He was married to Liao Zhongkai, a senior statesman of the Kuomintang,
in Guangzhou in 1897.

In 1902, He
sold her dowries to support her husband to study in Japan. In 1903, He followed
her husband to Japan, becoming one of the earliest female Chinese students
studying abroad.

During her stay in Japan, He got to know Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and started to devote
herself to the revolutionary movement.

In 1905, she
participated in the establishment of the Chinese Revolutionary League, working
as a liaison officer.

In 1909, she
was admitted into the Hongo Women’s School of Fine Arts in Tokyo to study
landscape and flower painting, and then continued to study animal painting
under the Japanese royal artist Raiaki Tanaka.

Throughout her
life, He enjoyed using her paintings of plum blossoms, pine trees, lions,
tigers and landscapes to convey her political views.

When the
Revolution of 1911 broke out, He moved back to Guangzhou with her husband.
After returning to China, she came under the influence of the Lingnan School of
Painting, one of the modern schools of Chinese brush painting, led by renowned
artists Chen Shuren and Gao Jianfu.

In her later
works, her earlier Japanese painting influence began to be replaced by more
traditional Chinese forms.

Around 1924,
He and Liao assisted Sun Yat-sen in reorganizing the Kuomintang, and urged the
party to cooperate with the Communist Party of China (CPC).

After her
husband was assassinated in 1925, He continued to fight against the
Kuomintang’s right-wing leaders.

During the
eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression from 1937 through
1945, He endeavored to fight against the Kuomintang’s dictatorship and
infighting, and actively participated in anti-Japanese movements.

In 1948, by
uniting the Kuomintang’s right-wing leaders, He organized the Kuomintang
Revolutionary Committee to answer the CPC’s call to hold the new political
consultative conference.

After the People’s
Republic of China was founded in 1949, He was appointed vice chairwoman of the
National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference
and vice chairperson of the Standing Committee of the National People’s
Congress.

In 1960, He
was elected chairperson of the Chinese Artists Association. She died in Beijing
in 1972.
