Oh my goodness, why do you admire CKS so much ? There is enough evidence of his corruption. There is also evidence of his cruel nature. Are you related to him ?
CKS was not a good leader. Many of his decisions were wrong, one of them which caused the lost of Northeast to Japan (1931) and loss of million of lives.

I understand him. And remember, no man is perfect. Mao is no angel also. Great men are always misunderstood by commoners. Take for example Cao Cao, he is not as evil as most think and his intention is not completely selfish.

When did Chiang lost the northeast to Japan???

Northeast was under Japan's control before Chiang could tame all the warlords.

Chiang did lost the northeast, but it was to the Russians and the Communists.

By the way, that dog is so cute!!!!

Honestly, I find your your glorification and attempts at sympathetic portrayal of CKS personally offensive. In fact you appear to have joined this forum for this purpose in the main.

If you intention was to disgust people, then I guess congratulations, you have at least succeeded with one.

[urofpersia]

C'mon give the man a break. I like Hitler, OK?

Oh, no problem with you, its much easier to ignore you.

In any case, like I said its just me that find the posts offensive, not the rest of CHF. I didnt ask him to stop posting.

There is nothing wrong with this thread...

CKS (Chiang Kai Shek) is an important historical figure in modern chinese history..he was the military head during ROC period in China. Posting this picture thread is appropriate in a history forum such as CHF.

[Sephodwyrm]

Like I said, Chiang, like all other leaders, should be viewed with a fair historical point of view. Without Chiang's leadership ROC would have been a lot worse, but at the same time Chiang has plenty of room to improve his standing, which he didn't.

One must also realize that his connections to the US (through his wife Song Meiling) obtained invaluable aid to the mainland and latter of course to Taiwan.

What... are... you... insinuating?  

Huh? Did you say something?

(Just kidding, I read every single one of your post religiously)

[Insignificant]

Well, to say the least, he is far less repulsive and brutish than Mao

[Chiang Kai-shek]

Well, as he ages he looks like a friendly grandfather.

Did someone else notice that all images of Chiang were broken in linkage? Here are some of my collections:-





















Once upon a time, a perfect man and a perfect woman met. After a perfect courtship, they had a perfect wedding. Their life together was, of course, perfect. One snowy, stormy Christmas Eve, this perfect couple was driving their perfect car (a Grand Caravan) along a winding road, when they noticed someone at the side of the road in distress. Being the perfect couple, they stopped to help. There stood Santa Claus with a huge bundle of toys. Not wanting to disappoint any children on the eve of Christmas, the perfect couple loaded Santa and his toys into their vehicle. Soon they were driving along delivering the toys. Unfortunately, the driving conditions deteriorated and the perfect couple and Santa Claus had an accident. Only one of them survived the accident. Who was the survivor? (Scroll down for the answer.)
























































The perfect woman survived. She's the only one who really existed in the first place. Everyone knows there is no Santa Claus and there is no such thing as a perfect man.

History is written by the victors. Maybe part of the reason Chiang is viewed negatively by many is because the Communists who defeated him wanted it that way. If the south had won the American Civil War, Abraham Lincoln would probabaly be viewed as a villain today instead of a hero. But would it be true? It's all a matter of perspective.
