Chongqing, September 3, 1945. At the Victory Day celebration dinner, Chiang Kai-shek personally toasted Mao Zedong, the head of the Chinese Communist Party, while Mao shouted long live Chiang Kai-shek.
Some people say that Chiang Kai-shek was an authoritarian dictator like Mao Zedong. Here, let’s put aside his political views and comment on his character alone, and then comment on what kind of person the real Chiang Kai-shek and Mao Zedong both really were.
Chiang Kai-shek lived a simple Life, no cigarettes, no alcohol, no tea, cold water to wash his face, get up early and sleep late. He also insisted on meditating and practicing qigong every night, writing a diary, and praying, never exceeding the rules.
After the assassination of his friend Chen Qimei, no one dared to collect the body of Chen Qimei’s friends in Shanghai because of Yuan Shikai’s power. Only Chiang Kai-shek wrote a suicide note and risked his life to come all the way from his hometown to Shanghai to deal with the aftermath, and wrote a heartfelt and regrettable tribute to his soul, and placed Chen Qimei’s Family and children in his wake.
Chiang Kai-shek in Sun Yat-sen encountered Chen Jiongming rebellion outnumbered, more than critical moments, a telegram, Chiang that disregard for personal safety, from his Home in Zhejiang far to Guangdong, to the ship to protect Sun Yat-sen, and repeatedly braved heavy artillery fire on shore to find Food to feed Mr. Sun Yat-sen, and day and night to guard the side of Mr., calm command response, planning strategy, more than 40 days to get out of danger.
Zhang Xueliang Xi’an Incident, bad the overall situation, many people demanded to kill Zhang to thank the country, Chiang Kai-shek read on the love of friends to understand its use for others, a moment of confusion, only to lift the military power, life is still unfailing care, let him live more than 100 years, Chiang Kai-shek died, Zhang Xueliang fondly waved: “care of the Yin, love as flesh and bone!”
The most important thing is that Chiang Kai-shek is a strong defender of traditional Chinese Culture, advocating propriety, justice and integrity, the four dimensions of the eight virtues, the temperament of being a human being, committed to reviving Chinese culture, the new life movement in the 1930s is in line with China’s national conditions, at the same Time with democratic ideas, there is greater freedom and openness of speech, Lu Xun, Fu Sian, Ma Yanchu and a large number of those who once fiercely opposed the Kuomintang government can end well, unharmed The fact that Guo Moruo, who had published fierce anti-Chiang Kai-shek articles, was still reused by Chiang Kai-shek in the anti-Japanese resistance, and Li Ao, who spoke arrogantly and slandered Chiang Kai-shek out of thin air, still allowed him to survive and live a good life, was locked up in jail, but also had considerable freedom, the freedom to eat well, live well, have guests and read books, and come out red-faced, is evidence of this.
The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you are doing.
In short, Chiang Kai-shek is filial to his elders, loyal to his friends, lenient to his enemies, strict to his own, treating people with sincerity, this is an indisputable fact, his excellent character is worthy of any conscientious nationals to learn, is his old rival Mao Zedong in 1939, entrusted to Zhou Enlai to forward a letter to Chiang Kai-shek also admitted: the comrades who returned from Yan’an, all praised Chiang’s virtues.
In fact, everyone hated Chiang Kai-shek for his ineffective fight against bandits, which plunged the Chinese nation into a boundless sea of misery!
Mao Zedong’s motto: “The philosophy of the Communist Party is the philosophy of struggle” and “With a population of 800 million, is it okay not to fight?” What Mao Zedong did better than all the tyrants of the past and present was that he did not rely solely on killing to establish authority, but rather on the “mass line”, which offered all Chinese people two choices: either to fight or to be fought. Therefore, whenever a struggle movement came, in order to avoid being fought, one had to participate in the “righteous act” of falling on the well. This is why most of the people who participated in the ideological struggles of the past years were already scared out of their wits, and this was exactly the deterrent effect that Mao needed: to make the Chinese people become slaves who crawled under his feet.
The Soviet purge, the Yan’an rectification, the three anti-5 anti, the four-clear campaign, the ten-year Cultural Revolution, ……, are all Mao’s efforts to fight people and secure his own power, to the point of death. Especially for the people around or the so-called close comrades, can only be allowed to fight together, can not sit together in the mountains. Wang Ming, Zhang Guotao, Li Lisan, Zhang Wentian, Gao Gang, Peng Dehuai, Liu Shaoqi, Lin Biao, ……, each became Mao Zedong’s political enemies and put them to death.
