In 1937, when the [[Second Sino-Japanese war]] broke out, all three of them got together after a 10-year separation in an effort to unite the Kuomintang and Communists against the [[Imperial Japanese army]]. Soong Ai-ling devoted herself to social work such as helping wounded soldiers, refugees and orphans. She donated five ambulances and 37 trucks to the army in [[Shanghai]] and the air force, along with 500 leather uniforms. When the Japanese occupied [[Nanjing]] and [[Wuhan]], the three sisters moved to [[Hong Kong]]. In 1940, they returned to [[Chongqing]] and established the [[Chinese Industrial Cooperatives]], which opened job opportunities for people through weaving, sewing and other crafts. The sisters frequently visited schools, hospitals, orphanages, air raid shelters and aided war torn communities along the way.<ref name="Peterson">Peterson, Barbara Bennett (ed.). (2000).
