Kong Sizhen was the daughter of Kong Youde (died 1652), a Chinese military commander awarded with the title of prince for his service to the Qing dynasty. She married Sun Yanling, military governor in Guanxi. Her spouse joined the rebellion of Wu Sangui, which caused him to be deposed by his army. Kong Sizhen became his successor, which was confirmed by the Emperor in 1676, a very unusual position for a woman in Qing dynasty China. She kept her position until the end of the rebellion.
