Ai-ling partiu cedo para os Estados Unidos da América para, tal como o seu pai, receber uma educação americana e católica. A ela se seguiram as irmãs, Ching-ling e May-ling. Ao voltar à China casa com H. H. Kung, mais tarde ministro das finanças chinês durante a ascenção e queda do "generalíssimo" Chiang Kai-Shek, marido da sua irmã mais nova May-link.
