It is located 39 kilometers (24 mi) west of Ningbo and covers 381 square kilometers (147 sq mi). It is under the administration of Fenghua District, and is the birthplace and ancestral home [zh] of the former President of the Republic of China Chiang Kai-shek.[3][4] Mao Fumei, divorced wife of ROC President Chiang Kai-shek and mother of ROC President Chiang Ching-kuo, was killed during the Japanese bombing of Xikou on December 12, 1939.

  • ^ Xikou is sometimes transliterated as Chikow/Qikou/Kikow. Until the 20th century, 溪 was pronounced [t͡ɕʰi55], as evidenced by its fanqie reading (苦奚切). This archaic pronunciation of 溪 gives rise to the spelling 'Chikow', or 'Qikou' in the Hanyu Pinyin system. The old Postal Romanization 'Kikow' reflects the 19th century pronunciation of 溪 in conservative Mandarin dialects (e.g. Nanking dialect) in which velars had not undergone palatalization (from [kʰ] to [t͡ɕʰ] in this case).
