Xi Jinping's first marriage was to Ke Lingling, the daughter of Ke Hua, who served as China's ambassador to the United Kingdom in the early 1980s. Their marriage ended in divorce within a few years, reportedly due to frequent conflicts, with Ke later relocating to England. In 1987, Xi married the renowned Chinese folk singer Peng Liyuan. The couple was introduced by mutual friends, a common practice for couples in China during the 1980s. During their courtship, Xi was noted for his academic demeanor, often asking about singing techniques. Peng Liyuan, a prominent figure in Chinese culture, was more widely recognized than Xi until his rise in politics. Their professional commitments often led to them living apart. As China's "first lady," Peng has taken on a more prominent role compared to her predecessors; she notably hosted U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama during her high-profile visit to China in March 2014. | |||
