Draft:The Four Princelings of Kuomintang

The term "Four Princelings of the Kuomintang" was coined by non-Kuomintang activist Kang Ningxiang in 1978. It refers to Lien Chan, Chen Lu-an, Chien Fu, and Shen Chunshan, a group of four individuals who were believed by many to be the successors to the leadership of the Kuomintang and the government.

Lien Chan, Chen Lu'an, Chien Fu, and Shen Junshan are the eldest sons of Interior Minister Lien Zhen-dong, Vice President Chen Cheng, Academia Sinica President Chien Si-liang, and Chairman of the Joint Commission on Rural Reconstruction Shen Junshan, respectively. They each obtained their Ph.D. degrees from the University of Chicago, MIT, the University of Maryland, and Yale University.
