Chiang Kai-Shek Dies at 87 After Long Anti Communist Rule
A long memorial outlines Chiang Kai-shek as a tireless anti Communist advocate and Nationalist Chinese leader who fled to Taiwan in 1949 after losing mainland China. It notes his pneumonia in 1972, gradual withdrawal from day to day affairs to his son Chiang Ching-kuo, and the aging regime’s vow to reclaim the mainland. Details cover his early life in Zhejiang, education in Japan, founding of the Kuomintang, the northern expedition, purges of Communists in 1927, and the two parties alliance before the civil war and exile.
