Chiang kai shek seems amicble. but i havent seen his pictue in a western suit. and he often wear in zhongshan (same as in mao) and in military uniforms with medals.
his marriage portrait with Mayling seems that he's a chinese methodist. and china before 1949 id run by some christians and others.

Yeah it's quite interesting that he rarely wears a suit...this one though, according to one of his biography, was taken in Shanghai during the 20's...when he made friends with many people from the gangs. Man about town, it seems...

thanks babyblue about the picture and the information. I also think that one of my former classmates looks like him, but not bald.

Always nice to see more photographs of China's great hero.

I personally liked Mao more than Chiang, but time to prune this thread and replace corrupt-links with working pics.

Bet you won't prune this famous one

Something interesting I just read on a recent Mao biography:
On hearing of Chiang's death, Mao became very depressed, refused to talk to anyone and mourned in the dark for day.

History giants have their own set of rules that leave us, laymen, rather flabberghasted.

[ChiangAP]

Personnally, I prefer that one

Chiang, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Winston Churchill met at the Cairo Conference in 1943 during World War II.

I read Churchill did not like Chiangs, specially Madame Chiang who did very doubtfull, self-serving translating work.



Chiang Fang-liang (Faina Ipatyevna Vakhreva) , infant Chiang Hsiao-yung, grandfather Chiang Kai-shek. father Chiang Ching-kuo (center rear, hidden).

Still have to find those images, people need to start using ImageShack more. It only takes three extra minutes to save the picture to your pc and host it on ImageShack. (The reason for my pruning & restoration).

If you don't have time to image host it (Like your grandma just passed out or something), then send it to my email: suumaamiyamoto@yahoo.com.sg

Nice share Chiang, was it an online biography? I'd like to read it.
