The Rainy Night at Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall

He relished Japan's harsh winters and the academy's strict regime, later boasting that they allowed him to nourish his appetite for "eating bitterness.

He married the famous Soong`s sisters ( Soong May Ling ).

In 1949, after a long battle with Chinese Communists for control of China, Kuomintang leader Chiang Kai-shek was forced to flee with what remained of his troops to the island of Taiwan. There, he reestablished the Nationalist government and served as its president until his death in 1975.

Chiang Kai-shek left behind a prosperous economy that grew into a genuine democracy.
