Mao Fumei (Chinese: 毛福梅, 9 November 1882 – 12 December 1939) was the first wife of Chiang Kai-shek, and the biological mother of Chiang Ching-Kuo.
Mao was born in Fenghua, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, and married Chiang Kai-shek in an arranged marriage. She died in World War II during a bombardment. Like most women of the era, she was not given the opportunity to learn to read or write. When Chiang came back from Japan he divorced her. She stayed in her home town and was killed by the Japanese bomb intended for her ex-husband.
