1. The descendants of the four famous families of Chiang, Song, Kong, and Chen in modern Chinese history are scattered all over the world.

2. The specific situation is as follows:

1 The Chiang family

Since the death of the first generation Chiang Kai-shek, the second generation Chiang Ching-kuo, and Chiang Wei-kuo, the glory of this family has Gradually fading, it has long lost its former power. Today, the descendants of the Chiang family have spread out and have a large population. Most of them have settled in Taiwan, and some live in the United States. Only Chiang Ching-kuo’s beloved daughter, Chiang Xiaozhang, and her family live in the United Kingdom.

After the mid-20th century, the only Chiang family child still active in Taiwan’s political arena was Zhang Xiaoyan (Chiang Xiaoyan), the illegitimate son of Chiang Ching-kuo and Zhang Yaruo. He belongs to the third generation of the Chiang family. He once held such "high and powerful" positions as "Vice President of the Executive Yuan" and Secretary-General of the Kuomintang on the island. He is also a "legislator" of Taiwan. He once announced that he would "recognize his ancestors and return to his clan", but most members of the Chiang family still did not recognize his status as a "Chiang family". On October 27, Zhang Xiaoyan clearly opposed Chen Shui-bian's attempt to cover Soong Meiling's coffin with the Blue Sky and White Sun flag when he was transiting through New York.

The fourth generation of the Jiang family has stayed away from politics. Most of them are engaged in business, education, and performing arts. For example, the fourth generation Zhang Huilan is a highly regarded emerging director in the Taiwanese film industry. In 1999, Zhang Huilan wrote and directed her debut film "Little Girls", starring the movie star Shu Qi. She was also invited to participate in the 2000 Edinburgh Film Festival.

The most famous fourth generation of the Chiang family in Taiwan is probably Chiang Youbai. He is tall and handsome, and is popular among Taiwanese media. He married Taiwanese movie star Lin Hengyi and gave birth to a daughter in September. He was named Jiang Dexi according to the Jiang family's order of "filial piety and friendship". The news that the Chiang family had a fifth generation immediately became a hot topic in Taiwanese media reports. On the full moon day of Chiang Dexi, Chiang Fang Zhiyi served full moon wine, and heavyweights in Taiwanese politics such as Kuomintang Chairman Lien Chan, People First Party Chairman James Soong, and New Party Chairman Yu Muming came to congratulate her. It was a rare event for the Chiang family.

2 Song Family

With the death of Soong Meiling, all six brothers and sisters of the Song family are no longer alive. Most of the descendants of the three brothers Song Ziwen, Song Zian, and Song Ziliang have settled in the United States, and they are usually very low-key and mysterious. The Song family was prosperous and had many descendants, but no one was in politics. When Song Meiling was alive, Song Zian's son Song Zhonghu often visited her. As for the whereabouts of other Song family members, the whereabouts of other Song family members were rarely known to the outside world.

3 Kong Family

The Kong family, founded by Song Ailing and Kong Xiangxi, was one of the richest families in China at that time. On the eve of the Kuomintang's escape to Taiwan, Song and Kong, who had the "foresight" to do so, fled to the United States in a hurry, carrying their wealth and their children.

For decades, the children of the Kong family have been settling in the United States. They appear to be very low-key and mysterious. Except for close relatives and friends, they rarely interact with other Chinese people. No one in the Kong family is in politics, and the family members are sparse. Among Kong Xiangxi's four children, only the youngest son Kong Lingjie has any descendants.

The children of the Kong family are very smart. They invested the large sums of inheritance inherited from Kong Xiangxi and Song Ailing in oil, construction, stocks, futures, wholesale and other industries, and made a fortune as a result. An example shows how wealthy the Kong family is. In the 1980s, American media once revealed that Kong Lingjie had built an "underwater castle" that resembled the set of the famous movie "007". This castle was built under the artificial lake of his private villa. It is very large, with hundreds of rooms, luxurious decoration, advanced equipment, and even a prison. It is said that it can withstand the attack of atomic bombs. You can know how rich the Kong family is from this.

4 Chen Family

The two brothers Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu are the founders of the Chen family among the "Four Major Families". They were once responsible for the spy work within the Kuomintang for Chiang Kai-shek and were extremely powerful. At that time, there was even a saying that "the Jiang family is under the Chen family party". Nowadays, the glory of the Chen family is gone. The descendants have stayed away from politics and have no real influence in Taiwan.

Chen Lifu has 3 sons and 1 daughter, while Chen Guofu only has 1 daughter. In order to continue his brother's legacy, Chen Lifu adopted his eldest son Chen Ze'an to Chen Guofu. Counting from Chen Lifu and Chen Guofu, the Chen family already has the fourth generation, and the family has a large population.

Except for Chen Lifu’s youngest son, who still lives in Taiwan, everyone else in the Chen family lives in the United States. Among the descendants of the Chen family, the most famous is probably Chen Ze'an, the son of the "Er Chen" brother. He is a professor at a university in the United States and an internationally renowned plant pathologist.
