For the Love of Kennedy and my Grandfather

Magic Appeared in the First Summer of Kennedy’s Presidency Without Kennedy, maybe I would never have been able to see my grandfather. Once Kennedy was in power, grandfather came to Taiwan for the first time. I could never forget how he showed up in the middle of my midsummer afternoon nap. I was very pleased to finally meet this loving figure for the first time, and I rubbed my eyes to see a man shrouded in his white shirt with a sparkling smile in his joy. He had the aura of a legendary man. As China’s free democratic leader, he was denied entry by Chiang Kai Shek for fear of competition and as a dissident. It was because education minister Zhu Jia Hua was near death with his stomach cancer bout, and the government relaxed their control. I don’t blame Americans for their misunderstanding toward the good dedicated people in China and Taiwan. Without knowing the language and the right people, it is nearly impossible to understand the dynamics and the convoluted political structures in China and Taiwan. What the world doesn’t say is what the great Nationalists have achieved, but they are always tone deaf in pointing out the wrongs, and they can’t ever tell who did save China as they truly are blind in their assertions to equate Chiang with the Nationalists.

Memorial for Sun Yun Xuan 孫運璿悼文

Sun Yun Xuan, 1913-2006, Former Minister of Economics and Prime Minister for ROC Memorial for Sun Yun Xuan A stellar man like one of the 7 stars of the Big Dipper cluster has passed away. In very ancient Chinese folklore, the 4 upper stars in the Big Dipper are the gentry and literature stars, and the lower 3 are the war-related martial stars. The deep culture line of philosophy and its human to supernatural myth is still in the Heaven’s Peace Altar in the Forbidden City, and many ancient China Proper palaces with Tai Shang Lao Jun, the Supreme old gentleman god. The Chinese philosophy of the universe is to endow the stars with human ability and with powers, so a mystic and great star can descend to do work for the blessing of the earthly kind. This is a holistic view of the universe, surrounded by kindness and harmony, heaven and humans. So the embodiments of the 7 saints are 7 stars. He descended like Sun Yat-sen, Zhu Jiahua, to save China, to save mankind. A Great man has passed away. His greatness was in that he was able to carry out his projects, and contribute to the nation and the people, without being bogged down by politics, serving under a controversial figure like President Chiang Jing-guo. His deep love toward the ROC is buried deep and with action rather than rhetoric, and must have withstood all assaults by extremists in his last few years after his stroke. He said, “I’m younger than the ROC by 2 years, all of my life, looking up to my elder brother to support my loving brother.” No matter if the ROC’s existence was limited to Taiwan, it has the right to survive and the existentialism, “I think, so I exist.” The theory that he and other mainlanders who came to Taiwan committed the “original sin” and disdained by Li Deng Hui is an unfair charge, in contrast to the contributions of many mainlanders like Sun to Taiwan. As a justification for the existence in Taiwan, one must take America into the scale of the unjust, because America forced the Yalta Treaty on the ROC, along with Russia and Britain. No one has the right to charge the ROC for being in Taiwan, and does not have any right to condemn or to discriminate. Li Deng Hui should take up this issue with the U.S. and not to oppress the ROC subjects. Sun’s philosophy was pragmatic and to fulfill his life journey, as such described by the scripture of the Big Dipper. Translation: 抗戰勝利後，面對戰爭後所造成的電力設施破壞，以及日籍技師全面撤出台灣的情況，孫運璿卻在五個月後使台灣電力恢復80%的正常供應，打破日本人的預言「三個月後，台灣將一片黑暗」，也為台灣經濟發展奠定穩定的基礎。 After we won the WWII victory, and the Japanese electrical technicians evacuated from Taiwan, within 5 months, Sun Yun Xuan restored Taiwan’s electricity supply, and he broke the Japanese prediction “After 3 months, Taiwan will be in dark”. This helped Taiwan to secure an economic development foundation. 一九四三年，距今六十五年，在美國田納西州一個小城捷特努加，報上有張十幾個中國工程師合照的照片，上面首段寫著：「當和平來到被戰爭蹂躪的中國時，在龐大的復原計劃中，這些工程師將建造幾個像田納西水壩（當時世界最大水壩）一樣的水力發電工程，」這篇文章更寫道：「他們要將中國的煤油燈換成電燈。」 抗戰勝利，本是這批人圓夢的時刻，但中國內戰槍聲劃破了這批年輕人的理想，可是其中一個年輕人卻把這個夢，移師台灣來實踐。 1943, in Tennessee, in a local Chattanooga newspapers, there is a photo of ten some Chinese engineers, and the first paragraph, is written as this: “When peace arrives in the war ravaged China, in the large scale post-war reconstruction plan, all these engineers shall build several such Tennessee dams (The world’s largest dam at the time), the same hydro-electrical power projects. This article wrote further: “They want to change Chinese’s gas lamps to electrical lamps.” After victory of WWII, the Resistance war against Japan, it was time for these people to realize their dreams. However, the Chinese Civil War broke these young men’s ideals, leading one young man to fulfill his dream in Taiwan. Commentary: Tennessee Valley Authority Large government projects funded at government expense. Hoover started and Roosevelt finished the Hoover Dam. When a Republican started something good, Democrats can take the credit. The Power of the U.S. Governmental structure, the U.S. Governmental Transition There were many good Transition projects, but from Roosevelt to Truman, the bad transition was very costly. Henry Morgenthau, the Secretary of the Treasury, was with Roosevelt’s New Deal plan, and he suppressed Chinese soldiers’ request for payment by Chinese treasurer Kong Xiang Xi. By removing Kong, the Chinese economy was derailed and inflation and economic collapse happened. After millions sacrificed for freedom, peace and sovereignty, and all the war efforts for U.S., Britain, France, and there were no comparable figures from Indians, Vietnamese, Burmese soldiers, the U.S. left wing subverted China’s Nationalist government. Secretary of State Marshall was to help Europe in his March 1947 Harvard speech, the initial conceptualized “Marshall Plan”. This was after Marshall intervened in the Chinese Civil War and made sure that the communists were on the winning side, and he left in January 1947. http://forums.chinatimes.com/report/siuen/Htm/people01.htm An Engineer to Bring Brightness to Taiwan’s Future Author: Yang Ailee, 1.1.1998 From TianXia, Worldwide Magazine, issue number 200 為台灣帶來光明未來的工程師 【作者：楊艾俐 1998.01.01 】　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 天下雜誌第200期 如果你問經濟部長孫運璿一生最大的願是什麼？他會毫不猶豫地說：「當工程師。」在哈爾濱工業大學唸電機系的時候，他的心目中擺著一個當工程師的願望，希望透過工程師的腦海，一手讓某種夢想實現。(楊嘉慶攝） 抗戰勝利後，面對戰爭後所造成的電力設施破壞，以及日籍技師全面撤出台灣的情況，孫運璿卻在五個月後使台灣電力恢復80%的正常供應，打破日本人的預言「三個月後，台灣將一片黑暗」，也為台灣經濟發展奠定穩定的基礎。 一九四三年，距今六十五年，在美國田納西州一個小城捷特努加，報上有張十幾個中國工程師合照的照片，上面首段寫著：「當和平來到被戰爭蹂躪的中國時，在龐大的復原計劃中，這些工程師將建造幾個像田納西水壩（當時世界最大水壩）一樣的水力發電工程，」這篇文章更寫道：「他們要將中國的煤油燈換成電燈。」 抗戰勝利，本是這批人圓夢的時刻，但中國內戰槍聲劃破了這批年輕人的理想，可是其中一個年輕人卻把這個夢，移師台灣來實踐。 剛剛過完八十四歲生日的孫運璿，靜靜地住在台北市重慶南路，平日忙於復健、訪客不多。白髮蕭蕭，雖已遠離紛擾國事，但仍以家國為念。 他走過中華民國最動盪年代，也走過中華民國最驕傲年代，在偏遠的甘肅做過基層工程師，也平步青雲、擔任百官之長——行政院長。 不服輸的心 半世紀公僕生涯中，孫運璿挽起袖子、動手去做的特質，最令人懷念。 尤其愈遭困難，他愈要披荊斬棘，克服困難。民國三十六年，台灣百廢待興、滿目瘡痍，尤其盟軍轟炸，台灣輸電線幾乎全毀。日本人行將撤退，臨行前，台電的日本技師預測，台灣在三個月內必將黑暗一片，因為中國人沒有能力修復龐雜電力設施。 當時孫運璿從重慶調來台灣、任台電機電處長，滿心不服輸，對部屬說：「他們打敗了，還看不起我們，我們一定要做給他們看。」 當時，人、財、貨都缺。孫運璿帶領部屬，一一解決難題。他到當時的台北工專、台南工專，借調三、四年級學生，他對校長說，情況緊急，不要讀書了，到台電來工作，供吃供住，又能學技術。這些人與台電原有工程師，在台灣山澗溪邊，並肩修復電力。 盟軍轟炸過的電廠，不是缺零件，就是缺外殼，連螺絲釘都常告缺。孫運璿帶領部屬，拼裝機器，這邊缺的零件到那邊去找，找不到的就到土式工廠去做，上萬個零件就如此拼成。「唯一的辦法，就是沒有辦法中想辦法，」台電前任總經理陳蘭皋說。 結果五個月間，全台灣的電力已恢復八○％，日本技師回台灣看時，都嘖嘖稱奇，不敢相信中國人有此成績。 當時的孫運璿才三十四歲。「全靠這股勁，打敗日本人的預言，」他說。 之後，政府開始發展工業，因為復電順利，無後顧之憂，台灣終在風雨飄搖中駛出自己航道，更打出經濟奇蹟基礎。 民國四十年代，孫運璿以行動，為台灣開拓另一里程碑——人人享受電力。 身為台電總工程師的他，力主人人都有權享用現代科技，於是擬訂長期計劃，在深山、僻遠農村架設電線。 在偏僻深山架電線不但困難，而且穩賠本，做幾公里的路線，只有一兩家用電，出毛病還要修理。他說服電力公司的營業和財務單位，進行農村電氣化工程，「縱使賠，也要做，」他一直這樣堅持。 這項計劃使得本省九九．七％的人口都享受電力，比日本、韓國還普及。今天，不管到台灣哪個角落，舉頭都可看到盤空錯節的輸電線、變電器；當初農戶用的幾支小燈泡，也變成冰箱、電視，拉近了城鄉間的距離。 不論身居何種崗位，孫運璿更能號召大家一起動手。在台電時，他常坐著拼裝的、門隨時會掉下來的吉普車，走遍全省工地。每到一地，他和部屬喝酒談天，叫出對方的名字，甚至還記得部屬的小孩名字，讓員工覺得自己很受重視，更加賣力工作。 他與士卒同甘苦，更身先士卒。有一次台中日月潭發生山崩，當時任台電機電處長的孫運璿趕往現場，要深入地下三、四十公尺，檢查減壓水槽是否損壞，任務危險，不小心就會粉身碎骨。現場有廠長、工程師，都是他的屬下，但孫運璿自告奮勇坐搖車下去檢查，經過許久，才安全出來，旁觀人都為他捏把冷汗。 孫運璿不論擔負何種責任，都堅持兩種理念——堅持行動，關懷基層人民。「不要講無力感，想你能為國家做什麼！」有次他在立法院院會裡說。 在經濟部長任內，他排除眾議，發展半導體，選派研究員赴美學習半導體製造技術，又支持工研院設立工廠，成立聯華電子，奠定現今台灣產值兩千億台幣，全世界排名第四的半導體產業。「跟著他做值得，你知道，他不是為官場下一步打算，」當年曾義務幫忙的旅美學人潘文淵說。 孫運璿沒有忘記政府存在是為人民。民國六十年代，台灣經濟開始轉型，農村子女北上求職，但因為交通不便，北上後，常常一、兩年才能回家一次。有一次，孫運璿在雲林台西汽車站看到一對老夫婦，與一位年輕女子抱頭痛哭，原來是送女兒北上做工。當時擔任經濟部長的他，決定要在中南部設立工業區，使得那些農村子女就業時，不必離鄉背井。「誰無子女？到現在我還記得那對老夫婦的白頭髮，」二十餘年後，他仍難忘。 即使擔任行政院長，孫運璿也時時以基層老百姓為念。民國六十八年，他首次舉行鄉鎮長會議，千位鄉鎮長齊聚僑光堂，他要直接聽基層人民的心聲。當高雄縣茄定鄉女鄉長楊金治，講到自己家鄉年年海水倒灌，鄉民損失慘重，他禁不住痛哭失聲，「我覺得對不起那裡的人民，人民受那樣的苦，我都不知道，」他說：「政府不怕問題多，就怕不知道問題所在。」 他撥出兩百億元經費，修水溝、建海堤、裝路燈，看似瑣碎，卻能實在造福百姓。一位南投縣的老農夫當時曾寫信到行政院：「附近裝了路燈後，我讀夜間部的小女兒，再也不怕走夜路回家了。」 世紀交替、政權交替，國家及個人命運也在交替。從窗外射進的冬陽，靜靜射在孫運璿身上，宦海浮沈、政壇是非，已告終結，但領導人影響深遠，在他身上已充分展現。 《下一篇：帶領台灣走出風雨年代的行政院長》

Advice on President's Day

In Celebration of President’s Day Respectable Eisenhower Reigns Best in My Memory Saving wars, lives, and pools of blood is the man’s ultimate decision. In 1954, Eisenhower, against his top advisers’ recommendations, did not use nuclear weapons against China. Eisenhower told Hagerty that his “one purpose” was “the job of keeping this world at peace.” p.379, “Eisenhower Soldier and President” by Stephen E. Ambrose. Five Times in 1954, virtually the entire NSC, JCS, and State Department recommended that he intervene in Asia, even using atomic bombs against China. 1. 4/1954, the Dien Bien Phu crisis grew critical 2. 5/1954, on the eve of the fall of Dien Bien Phu. 3. 6/1954, French said the Chinese were about to enter the Indochina conflict. 4. 9/1954. Chinese Communists began shelling Quemoy and Matsu. 5. 11/1954. Chinese Communists announced the prison terms for the American fliers. Five times in one year the experts advised the President to launch an atomic strike against China. Five times he said no. Eisenhower was talented in disengaging the domestic pressure to attack China by using nuclear weapons. How Eisenhower Administered CIA to Maintain Peace in Asia (from book excerpt, by Free Mind) Under Allen Dulles’ direction, and with Eisenhower’s encouragement, the CIA had been conducting covert operations around the world. (footnote, bibliography p.475 “Eisenhower Soldier and President” by Stephen E. Ambrose). Also, by late Ambassador Sheng Qi’s article when he served as interpreter in 1953 for Chiang Kai Shek, when Eisenhower’s ambassador was talking in Taiwan. Eisenhower’s CIA works and Taiwan In 1953, Eisenhower started to talk to Chiang Kai Shek and eventually led to the dissolution of the Third Power in Hong Kong and employed them in Hong Kong Chinese University, and allowed the democratic dissidents to serve in the Senate and different teaching posts, and economical sectors in Taiwan. This group of people was a good anchor to regulate Chiang Kai Shek’s military power and rule in Taiwan. Serving as educators, administrators, government employees, they would organize and stimulate and augment Taiwan’s depleted human resources after 50 years of suppressive ruling under Japan. This group of people maintained stability, and contributed to economical prosperity to China. How Chinese Blood Saved Korea and Insured Korea Stability Since 1953 According to Marine General Zhou Yu Huan’s article, from July 16 to July 18 1953, in the Dongshan East Mountain Island battle, over 1000 Communist soldiers lives and over 3000 Nationalist soliders lives were shed in order to secure Mao’s agreement on a cease fire, for the Korean people’s peace that continues until today. US used Chinese soldiers, and 3000 died on both sides, in order to press Mao to sign the peace treaty on Korea war. 東山島戰役地面登陸攻擊係於1953年 〈而非1962年〉七月十六日清晨五時四十二分發動，與中共防守及增援的解放軍激戰後，載運部隊撤退的兩棲登陸戰車LVT-3C於十八日凌晨二時二十分完成在黑夜中自灘頭搶運所有地面作戰部隊返航的任務，歷時不足兩天〈而非三天〉〈參自楊友三於中外雜誌2003年，四月號，海軍陸戰隊周宇寰將軍一文〉。 登陸部隊的編成包括金防部、陸軍第十九軍、空降部隊、海、空軍和陸戰隊。 陸戰隊以第一旅為基礎編成一個登陸部隊，代名河北支隊。〈參自孔令晟於中外雜誌2003年，一月號，追念海軍陸戰隊故司令周宇寰將軍一文〉。筆者註：第十九軍參戰部隊主要為第四十五師的兩個團所組成。另有乘坐機帆船的國軍反共救國軍參戰，而隨同傘兵空降作戰的尚有十數位政戰學校學生志願軍，筆者就讀台南二中高中時軍訓教官傅峻即為其中一員，傅先生於著陸後在戰鬥中身中五槍，可以想像戰況之慘烈，極幸運地後為登陸部隊搶救返航。 據徐焰著的台海大戰〈上〉中共觀點一書引述中國社科出版社的〈當代中國軍隊的軍事工作〉提及該役解放軍以傷亡、失蹤1250人的代價，殲滅國軍3319人〈其中死傷2477人、被俘842人〉。 〈陸戰隊只派了一個旅，而桑文稱陸戰隊派了兩個師損失了一個師，即便與此一出自中共內部的消息來源出入均甚大〉 該役為當時金防部司令官胡璉與美國情報單位西方公司所共同策劃完成〈參自胡璉金門憶舊文，桑文說沒有知會美方並不正確〉。 Quemoy defense commander general Hu Lian and American intelligence unit Western Company to jointly devised the plan, this is based on general Hu Lian’s memoir article, American not only knew about it, they jointly participated and executed the plan. 在當時的時空下，韓戰停戰協定尚在拉扯仍未簽署，〈即使到了1953年七月十三日夜中共抗美援朝“志願軍 ”尚以1000餘門大炮及卡秋莎火箭部隊兩個師在韓國金城西南及金城川以北地區對盟軍野戰工事猛烈轟擊，在20分鐘內落彈1900餘噸，突擊部隊發起衝擊，一小時內全面突破盟軍前沿陣地：參自遼寧人民出版社朱世良著彭德懷在朝鮮戰場〉。 On July 13, Communist Chinese anti-American, and aid Korea “Volunteer Army” fired violently with over 1000 cannons and rockets. It dropped over 1900 tons of bombs in 20 minutes. The attack front line broke the allied troops entire front line. 〈筆者認為〉：美方當時為了給在韓國戰場談判中的中共造成心理上的壓力以促談，又藉在台灣的老蔣總統三年多來一心一意反攻大陸的宿願與決心及中共佔據中國大陸腳步未穩懼怕台灣反攻等因素，而提出以傘兵空降與陸戰隊作先鋒的三軍突擊方案給台灣。 American added psychological pressure to the Communist Chinese in the Korea war zone negotiation in order to complete the peace talk, and also to use Chiang Kai Shek’s old wish and resolution to make a comeback in mainland China, and the deep fear and worry by the Communists that Taiwan would attack back before China communists thoroughly were standing firm in their stability, and thus America proposed a "3 branch" war strategy to Taiwan, with parachutes and marines as the frontal force. Hence the DongShan battle happened. 老蔣總統方面意識到韓戰一旦停戰，共軍勢必大舉南移，解決台灣問題迫在眉睫。藉由美國嚴肅看待中共對美國的威脅，如果美國能協助中華民國逐步完成反攻大陸的願景，此正其時。東山島正是中選的實驗場。 Chiang realized that once the Korean War ended, the communists would come south, so the Taiwan problem was imminent. If America could help ROC in the prospect of recovering China gradually, America was seriously evaluating the threat from China, then this was the moment to have the battle, hence, Dong Shan island became the ‘select target for Experimentation for Combat’. 東山島雖然它是侷促於中國大陸極南方的一個小島，可是1953年七月十六日在島上發生的戰鬥對位於千里之外的韓戰結束起了臨門一腳的作用，毛澤東終於願意簽字了，韓戰最後停戰協定簽署於1953年七月二十七日板門店。 Although a tiny island, in a July 16, 1953 battle, Dongshan had a deep impact on the Korea war conclusion 1000 miles away, as it kicked the cease-fire into the door as previously it was right outside the door, Mao finally agreed to sign. This Korea War Cease Fire agreement was signed on July 27, 1953. So the outcome of this was that America was instrumental in having the communists and the nationalists fight each other, and the assessment of the Dongshan battle outcome was that neither side would gain if the war continued, so this prompted Mao to sign the Korean War cease fire. This also was after Mao incurred 1,000,000 Chinese soldiers lives lost in Korea, he did not have another 1,000,000 to sacrifice. Two points 1) America designed a package to ask Chinese to kill off each other. This is hardly a courageous act, to see who outlasts in a duel format in Dongshan Island battle. America didn't have to waste a life, and got a cease fire agreement in Korea which saved many more American lives, without committing any blood. 2) This cast in stone or status quo is 'secure and tidy' for the American interests, but this split many families up, and restrained Chiang and many young ROC soldiers and government employees the chance to ever go back to China, trapping them in Taiwan for the rest of their lives without getting any benefit of land or capital. This is cruelty and against the principles of human rights and human conscience. We need to credit and give condolences to the Nationalist government and to pay tribute to all the sacrificial blood, only to honor them, and by realizing this historical injustice, can God give or once again grant America the freedom to live without the plague of war and attacks, after the Chinese Nationalists fought very hard to shelter Americans from suffering. How CIA grabbed Chinese Mine Resources from Jiangxi Province (From Excerpt of Chinese Contribution after WWII and Waived the Japanese War Retribution by the U.S., researched and written by Free Mind) From a real encounter of the rare mineral mine owner’s personal testimonials. U.S. president always needs to find an equilibrium balance between two extreme voices. As the trade dispute with China, the best policy is to remain moderate. The pro-China American beneficiaries provide two forceful arguments to support trade, first, China being the fastest growing consumers of US exports, second, China gives the US a low inflation climate, and enrich homeowners, home equity is the essence of consumer market economy. The anti-China sentiment is that Americans lose jobs to China. But America sells Boeing and China should be able to sell other items to America. If you break down this mutual economic circle, no one can repair it, not even India, Japan, or any country. China also should realize that to hurt the U.S. economy doesn’t portend too well for China. This is because through trade with Americans, China is able to rise from rags to riches, to create a middle class, although this doesn’t come easy, many are from sheer intensive hard labor and toil in the factories. America needs to have sympathetic ways to understand that China has contributed greatly to World peace and that the U.S. has a historical record of abusing its power to demand Chinese to serve U.S. purposes. Many historical events point to the fact even during early 1900’s, U.S. sold off Chinese interests. During World War II, Chinese soldiers fought for free for the Americans, without being paid by America. When treasurer Kong Xiang Xi requested some payment, he was forced down to leave his post. Much of the corruption attached to Nationalists is on a smaller scale compared to the U.S. lobby group who influence policies on a larger scale, so is the communist network of interests, each node is many folds more mightier than Kong or Soong family.

Comments on KMT Chairman Ma Ying Jiu's Strategy

http://www.takungpao.com/news/06/02/16/GWTG-525557.htm Hong Kong Newspaper: Ma Ying Jiu’s Team Is Not Mature KMT chairman Ma Ying Jiu made his speech over consecutive days, in the London Political Economic College, about his position on China/Taiwan unification or independence. According to the Hong Kong media, this is too early to express his position and provided to his opponents ammunition to attack him. It once again reveals his team is immature. 評論認為，在台灣「總統」陳水扁將推動廢除「國統綱領」和「國統會」提上議事日程，加速推進法理台獨進程、可能導致兩岸關係進一步緊張惡化的今天，馬英九公開表示「不排除以兩岸的終極統一作為選項」，這樣的表態顯然有與陳水扁對對幹的意味，馬英九對自己政治魅力的自信也顯露無遺。 To counter Chen Shui Bian’s plan to put the “abolish national unification” resolution on the discussion table, Ma expresses “Not to rule out the possibility to have the eventual unification as the elective”. 港報: 馬英九團隊不成熟2006-2-16 【大公網訊】針對中國國民黨主席馬英九連日來在倫敦政經學院發表的兩岸統獨談話，，香港媒體認為，馬英九過早地在兩岸政策和統獨方面表明自己的立場，無異於向對手提供攻擊自己的彈藥，也再次暴露馬英九團隊的不成熟。 香港報章今天發表評論稱，作為二零零八年台灣總統選舉的最熱門人選，馬英九的相關闡述雖然讓外界清晰看到他對兩岸關係未來發展的思路，但作為在野黨領袖，尤其是在統獨陣營壁壘分明、執政民進黨正在加快推進法理台獨進程的台灣，馬英九這番表白，需冒的一個風險是，過早地在兩岸政策和統獨方面表明自己的立場，無異於向對手提供攻擊自己的彈藥。 評論認為，在台灣「總統」陳水扁將推動廢除「國統綱領」和「國統會」提上議事日程，加速推進法理台獨進程、可能導致兩岸關係進一步緊張惡化的今天，馬英九公開表示「不排除以兩岸的終極統一作為選項」，這樣的表態顯然有與陳水扁對對幹的意味，馬英九對自己政治魅力的自信也顯露無遺。 評論又說，台灣政治的險惡，馬英九應當具有清醒的認識。連戰、宋楚瑜在二零零四年的「總統」選舉中最後因兩顆不明子彈輸給陳水扁、呂秀蓮，這樣的教訓馬英九不得不記取。作為在野黨領袖，馬英九原本應採取的策略是以逸待勞、後發制人，將自己的著力點放在對民進黨的監督之上，或許對自己未來的「總統」選戰規劃更為有利。 「中央社」香港十六日電 注:【大公網訊】或【大公專訊】為本網即時新聞，非引自《大公報》，敬請留意。 http://www.takungpao.com/news/06/02/16/TM-525551.htm The next thing Ma did, to woo the pan green voters, was to put out an ad in the green media, to list “Taiwan Independence” as a political option that he will not rule out. Ma asked KMT spokeswoman Zheng Liwen to come back to Taiwan from Europe to clarify the motif for this ad. 馬英九急派鄭麗文返台灭火2006-2-16 【大公網訊】國民黨主席馬英九急於討好台灣泛綠選民，以國民黨名義在綠系色彩的媒體刊登廣告，首度在國民黨史上將「台獨」列入日後兩岸關係政策選項。台獨選項說不但引起國民黨榮譽主席連戰嚴辭駁斥「反對」，也讓「立法院長」王金平提出質疑未經黨內決策。 據中時電子報消息，由於茲事體大，馬英九急於澄清滅火，立即要求國民黨文傳會主委兼發言人鄭麗文火速奔回台灣，鄭麗文銜馬之命從歐洲返台後，立即於今（16）日上午在國民黨中央黨部發表談話，澄清這次國民黨刊登廣告動機其實相當單純，只是讓自由時報的讀者瞭解馬英九主席的談話，並不是國民黨在兩岸政策上有重大或不同以往的宣示。 鄭麗文表示，大陸對岸的反應也沒有媒體報導的如此緊張，她表示國共溝通平台一直相當暢通，就是為了兩岸避免因為誤會造成擦槍走火，因此兩黨之間一直透過大陸事務部主任張榮恭有固定的溝通，他們對國民黨的立場一直都很清楚，經過簡單說明之後，也已經沒有疑慮，大家可以不用擔心。 注:【大公網訊】或【大公專訊】為本網即時新聞，非引自《大公報》，敬請留意。 Comments: Ma’s Team is immature and has stirred up troubles which need good fixes. In the process to try to please all sides, he has angered all sides. The blunder is that Ma made a statement by saying “The eventual outcome is to unify.” This caused an uproar of the deep green independence supporters. The following comment caused a big stir in the deep Reds, “In our KMT agenda electives, we won’t rule out the possibility to discuss Taiwan Independence”. Ma should replace his immature spokeswoman, Miss Zheng Liwen. In examining her past, she has done damage to bring down the Nationalist construct. Many of the eroding forces such as Zhu Gao Zheng and Cheng Wen Qian, according to English Cai’s professor, Zhang LinZheng’s words, “Have given up their dark practices and are running toward the light.” The DPP racial agitators against the Nationalists have righted the wrong by giving up their DPP affiliation, and are turning toward the light. She helped out the DPP in attacking Chinese. She made errors. Then she turned around after the DPP deserted her and paid her nothing in return. This is called the utilitarian politician style, not true spirit. Unless she is the only choice and no one can exceed her, this is indeed the tragic declining in the mind of the Nationalists in Taiwan. We offer the critique: No one is above a party, not even Ma Ying Jiu. Real depth will win, not the shallow media-hyped type such as Miss Zheng Liwen. Ma Ying Jiu should be the leading force, above the media, not being driven by the media, not the dog being wagged by the tail. Otherwise, he is being represented and manipulated. The collective contribution and sacrifice is the basic anchor of the party’s spirit. No one can represent it, or ruin it. Ma ought to hire a serious Ji Yao Mi Shu, Chief of staff, or top adviser, not a media junkie, this is not a show. Even in Taiwan, the standard is lower than the U.S., but still, Ma needs to stand out as a serious contender, not a showman, and along with an actress. This immature Public spokesman will doom Ma Jing Jiu, if it keeps prolonging the stabbing the beehive strategy. By taking out a letter in the Wall Street Journal, is to secure nothing more than a roused show, without substance or strong theoretical backing. What he needs is passion, and theories to state the case of the collective Nationalists for honor and freedom, not for the pleasing of China, or the DPP, but for the Nationalists. Then he can stand with a straight backbone, and the world will listen. When the blue supporters start to desert him, then he will lose. He still has chances, to get it done with care to prevent the DPP’s agenda of abolishing the Unification measurements. What is wrong with someone being used: Li Deng Hui used many people to oust his KMT opponents. A Ph.D. told me that Lee Deng Hui’s one man presidential candidate is to serve the democracy. His reasoning is that Lee’s way was to remove Chiang Kai Shek and his son’s power in Taiwan, and gave democracy a chance. What he failed to see is that one candidate for presidency is not a democracy, irregardless of whether the purpose was to conclude the mainlanders control in Taiwan or not. Likewise, with Miss Zheng was being used as a pawn to do demonstration against the KMT by Li Deng Hui, to oust them, now has a change of heart, to work for the KMT. How can Ma Ying Jiu’s good name to be put on a yoyo and to re-establish KMT after the traumatic evaporation works administered by Li Deng Hui for 12 years under his belt and rein as the KMT chairman and ROC president? A Zen master and some master needs to instill in him and help him with a wise methodology before it is too late, and the chance passes him by that will never come again.

KMT Party Headquarters Should Not Be Knocked Down or Sold

We should try to look up to the dignity of a Chinese political party, and not remove the symbol of the KMT, the party headquarters building in Taipei. Hopefully, the China reform movement will be able to incorporate all of the Chinese factions. Can anyone tell me the reasoning for toppling the KMT building? 1 American pressure to get money to buy weapons 2 DPP wants to remove what they consider an eyesore 3 KMT chairman Ma Ying Jiu wants to cash in by selling off the KMT property 4 Communist China wants their old enemy’s symbol to be gone Is the answer all of the above, none of the above, any number, or some other reason I didn’t think of? The problem is, if the building is removed there will be complications, backlash, and instability. The complications will be: 1) America may become a hated country in Taiwan because they resent the pressure to purchase arms. 2) The DPP will hasten its own decline. 3) KMT will be weakened as they lose the dignified and symbolic building. 4) Communist China will be forced into a fast paced reform to remove all the luxury county buildings in order to match the humble small KMT building.

General Feng and the Nationalists

The picture is General Feng’s army in 1924, Peking. Feng Yu-Xiang (1882 – 1948) was referred to as “General Christian” and he chased out the last Qing dynasty emperor Pu Yi out of the Forbidden City and welcomed Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, founder of ROC. The "Fengian army" was a faction of the Beiyang Army, an important military body that served the Beijing government.

http://www.takungpao.com/news/2005-7-14/ZM-426952.htm

但在北伐勝利後與蔣介石爭奪全國政權時，西北軍卻遭失利，並被分化瓦解，馮玉祥本人也一度隱居泰山。

After the 1927 Northern expedition and victory, General Feng was competing against Chiang, and his Northwestern army was losing and dissolved. Feng went to live in Taishan, Shangdong Province.

1933年8月，侵佔了中國東北全境的日軍分兵入侵平、津，華北局勢危急。馮玉祥不顧蔣介石的反對，從泰山到張家口，組織塞北民眾抗日同盟軍，並迅速發展到八萬人左右。就在抗日同盟軍連戰皆捷，準備興師出關，收復東北之際，曾與他義結金蘭的蔣介石卻調集兵力對身為義兄的馮玉祥實行全面封鎖包圍，並威逼馮取消同盟軍，停止對日作戰。在日寇和蔣介石的共同鎮壓下，馮玉祥迫不得已隱居泰山，

In August 1933, after taking Manchuria, the Japanese army invaded Beijing and Tianjin, to threaten northern China. Feng ignored Chiang’s opposition, to come from Taishan to Zhang Jiakou, to organize the northern border people to resist the Japanese, and develop into 80,000 men. After several winning streaks, when he was about to go out of the great wall gate to fight, to recover the Manchuria land, Chiang encircled Feng to stop the war against Japan. Feng was forced to live in Taishan, Shangdon province.

1937年蘆溝橋事變，全面抗戰爆發，蔣介石請馮玉祥出山，並出任軍事委員會副委員長一職。據馮理達回憶，馮玉祥在抗戰期間抱著共赴國難的願望，奔走各地，視察前線，宣傳抗日，號召青年參軍，並呼籲國共合作，一致對外。由於馮玉祥帶兵有方，西北軍在抗戰期間的表現可圈可點，湧現了一大批抗戰名將，如宋哲元、吉鴻昌、佟麟閣、張自忠、趙登禹、梁冠英、孫連仲等。

After the 1937 Marco Polo bridge incidence, the full scale war exploded. Feng was invited as the vice chairman for the military committee. He enlisted the youth to join the army and wanted the communists and nationalists to cooperate and fight against foreign invasion. His northwestern troops had high achievements and had many famed generals such as Soong Zeyuan, Dong Linge, and Zhang Zizhong etc.

縱馬疆場誓驅虜　功勳未立志不墜 馮玉祥舊部二十九軍在「七七事變」中奮起抵抗日軍。馮玉祥通電舊部將領，囑其努力「抗敵守土」，「以保千萬年之光榮歷史」。 7月28日，馮玉祥部下佟麟閣、趙登禹在與日軍的激戰中犧牲，馮玉祥痛哭，因為佟、趙都從十五六歲起跟著馮玉祥，大家都是同生死共患難的好兄弟。馮玉祥在自傳中說，他一睜眼一閉眼就看見兩位死者在他的眼前。他隨後寫下了一首白話詩，稱讚兩位將軍「二人是一樣的忠，二人是一樣的勇」，並寫道，「你們二位在前面等我，我要不久把你們趕上」。 10月，馮被調回南京，第六戰區亦被撤銷。馮玉祥在這種情況下，仍未消極，曾動員並介紹舊部將領回鄉組織地方抗日武裝。馮自己也利用視察國防工事機會，親自到河南各地宣傳抗日，號召青年參軍，支援前線。

In October, Feng went to Henan Province to ask the youth to join the army to support the frontline.

在河南，馮玉祥曾多次招兵買馬，因為這裡曾有花木蘭代父從軍的故事，有著愛國從軍的傳統。有一天，馮玉祥正在山坡上視察陣地，忽然來了兩位老先生，一人拿著一個籃子，其中裡盛著幾十條黃瓜。兩位老人一見到馮玉祥，就大哭道：「你是馮先生啊？您這幾年跑到哪裡去了？可苦了我們啦！」

In Henan, this is the ancient Hua Mulan, The young girl dressing up like a man to replace her old father to go to the battle zone ancient story. Even the women are patriotic to go to the army.

One day, Feng was on the slope to survey the battle ground, there were two old men to come to see him. One with a basket, it has several dozens of cucumbers. Two old men saw him and cried out loud: “You are Mr. Feng? Where have you been all these years? We are in torment!” Feng told them to resist against Japan, else you can’t go on. You will owe it to your ancestors and your descendants.

He is the vice military chairman for the Nationalist government, and he did fight in defiance of Chiang Kai-Shek's order not to fight, so we can't finger point that Nationalists didn't fight. In the U.S. foreign policy, we always have to remember the variety of the Nationalist party and personnel, they are not all corrupt, we cannot stereotype them, they are very patriotic and held in high esteem by the people.

馮玉祥告訴他們說，非抗日不能活，非抗日對不住自己的祖先，非抗日對不住自己的子子孫孫，並且亡國奴還不如喪家犬。兩位老人聽了，摩拳擦掌、咬牙切齒，他們說道：「我們老了，不能跟您去，只能讓我們的兒子、孫子、侄子、外甥跟您去，同日本鬼子拚命，為我們的國家來報仇雪恥。」 Comments: Henan people have very patriotic tradition since ancient time, even the women have the grace to help out. During the battles of the Nationalists guarding Taiwan, many Henan generals and soldiers were buried in rubbles. With these savage battles, America never helped out. In fact, America relied on the Nationalists to help out on the Korean War, in sending the planes. In invoking the peace treaty conditions for Mao to sign in 1953 cease fire treaty, all with sacrifices of blood and will to defend freedom for the country and the people.

But Taiwanese can never appreciate this being the historical facts. Taiwanese always can bend the story. If I would to tell them that in 1949 Gu Ning Tou, Quemoy war, it was a bloody battle between Nationalists in facing the invasion of the Communists. They would say that the pain is on Taiwan youth who were dragged to the war from the street. But if you check on the draft system, Taiwanese boys were not drafted in 1949. In fact, there were many Henan soldiers and in 1958, the bombings killed high ranking generals from Henan province.

I believe that General Feng Yu-Xiang (1882-1948) was patriotic, in that, against Chiang Kai-Shek’s orders, in 1933 he defended China against the Japanese in the region outside Beijing.

This is to remind the country that the KMT implemented the unification of the Chinese factions in 1926. The KMT unified the country, and defended China during the Japanese invasion. Economically, they had a great ten year era from 1928-1937, which laid the foundation for the country’s banking infrastructure, which sustained the country during the 8 year war.

After the war, the U.S. did not handle it correctly or fairly, and did not reward its ally China in any sense, so the Nationalists were forced to retreat to Taiwan.Once in Taiwan, the U.S. stopped the Nationalists from returning to China, so the U.S. should feel some responsibility, and not let the KMT disappear under pressure from the DPP and the communists.

Analysis of the Fall of the KMT Party Legacy Symbolic Building

Dr. Jiang Wei Sui (1890-1931), a peaceful democratic political leader, who advocated rights of Taiwan residents during the era of colonial rule by Japan (1895-1945), after the Qing Dynasty lost the 1894 war to Japan.

The Analysis of the Impending Toppling of a Political Party’s Legacy Building The title of the building in Taipei, Taiwan, is, “Central Party Headquarters”. It is about to be evacuated and auctioned off. There are views of this event from four sides that can be analyzed. It is for the wise to weigh in. 1) From the DPP (Taiwan Independence) side. The KMT building is an eyesore confronting the ruling DPP party, directly facing the Presidential Building. Many times, logos are hung there espousing the Taiwan democracy leaders past and current. One example (see photo) is past leaders such as Jiang Wei Sui (1890-1931), a Taiwan doctor during the Japanese colonial era, who founded a workers movement and raised intellectual awareness to go against the ruling Japanese control in a peaceful way, as a patriotic Chinese conscience in advocating opportunities for racial equality. 2) From the KMT Chairman Ma Ying Jiu. His focus is the 2008 Presidential election. He believes that a Democracy Fortress needs to be humbled, and we need a spiritual togetherness, and not a fortress, in particular, this real estate prime lot. So, even though he is the KMT chairman, he wants the KMT to move out of the building to another smaller location. As the KMT members and employees inside the building have dwindled and it is too expensive for maintenance sake for an economically straddled party. But, to counter this logic is that the building has been in its place since after WWII. It has its full force as a symbol of the presence of the party. The KMT building is not lavish and grand compared with the communist party and local government offices in mainland China. If for the humble imagery sake, the entire China mentality is that the Chinese in mainland China turned against their own luxurious local county office buildings as many are much more luxurious and plush than the KMT Party headquarters building. The Chinese are very aware of the lavish corruption of the local government, so that they are shocked to see that the KMT building looks so humble. People from website are in uproar and critical of their own government in need of reform, rather than thinking KMT party building is too sumptuous. So really it is the symbolic removal of the party that is the motif for the plot in Taiwan to decimate this symbolic building. Comment: Since its founding, the KMT is a noble and sacred ground for democracy in China, over the years many great minds and figured have worked for the KMT and sacrificed themselves to fight for democracy. Another Comment: Because the building is in such a strategically important site in the capital, and in the current politically-charged atmosphere, whatever replaces the KMT at this site will be watched carefully by all sides, so it will be difficult to replace it with anything that will not further inflame some political group in Taiwan. 3) America is high handed in pressing for the military purchases by Taiwan, and the DPP is not in control of the Senate and can’t coerce the Senate to pay the amount. Americans were outdone by the DPP, because DPP already had the Senate long ago to have approved the Kaoxiong Transportation construction, and delayed the U.S. military to be discussed later in the Senate. After DPP lost Senate seats, they were unable to counter the democratic professors leading force to turn up all the cash as the economics have fallen behind and the people lost their work and say they rather have milk than arms. The problem is to negotiate a favorable package from both sides. After the 3 pan-blue party leaders from Taiwan all went to China to visit, they don’t feel the urgency of an impending threat, just as the DPP party is still in hateful warring sparring with China. The soldiers do not feel like they are in a war. No one is anxious to protect themselves from the threat. 4) Communist policy, although lightened up against the KMT, still lacks the sign that they want to add more voices to a one party system. So sometimes, the KMT building is perceived as an old nemesis, and it is best to remove the old enemy in order to resolve all the past grievances. If a fortress is gone, the spirit may surface even stronger in America, or elsewhere. You can’t stifle a just cause. America has cherry-picked data on discriminating against the Nationalists. The KMT’s control of China was toppled through the dark conscience and scheme by Truman’s cabinet, infiltrated by the communists, which forced Hurley to resign and Truman to impose an arms embargo against the KMT right after World War II, at the height of the civil war against the communists. We need not to endorse more wrong policies to settle a historical great unjust error.

Under the Dadu Mountain Foot 大度山腳下, 台灣

Henry Luce and John F. Kennedy

Luce , Henry Robinson 1898–1967. American editor and publisher who cofounded Time (1923) and founded Fortune (1930), Life (1936), and Sports.

I grew up under the foot of Dadu Mountain in Taichung which is a basin surrounded by mountains. Enclave of Freedom in Taiwan After WWII there was a “Third Zone” which was free from Chiang Kai-Shek’s militarism and Mao’s terrorist communism. This enclave was made possible by the Nationalist Education Department and American friends like Henry Luce and his legacy. After the war fire, relocated to another environment, artists could re-create their reminiscences about their old culture. It may retain a Shangri-La, ideal world in a corner. Taiwan’s later DPP movement came in to existence to protest Chiang Kai-Shek and Mao, but should not have protested against the KMT in general or repressed this liberal arts and sciences existence which was prevalent among all schools. The mistake of the DPP is to mix in all Chinese without the ability to distinguish, so they commit a racial crime to condemn all in the race, this is called Fascism. Americans were irresponsible over the years to distinguish the real meaning of movement, a claim of democracy should not be targeted against a gentle race, they should not be lumped with some of the hardliners, this is a disservice to the great multitudes of humanity. At the 1979 critical moment, Taiwan’s neck was saved by a Nationalist party member, alias, “Mr. Africa”, as he made a great contribution in his diplomatic and farming service work in Africa. When American president Carter recognized China, Taiwan’s status was in jeopardy, but Mr. Africa helped out together with General Wedemeyer, in his ‘Friendship house’, created a new status, called TECO, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, in order to keep Taiwan’s lifeline support going to this day by creative diplomacy. We must recognize America’s great talents at the same time, and condemn the hardliners, in particular to reflect which Chinese were oppressed, and to hear their voice. Chiang Jing Guo, with his Gulag Russian training and his secret service activities, did a “white terror” against his political opponents, and assassinated many mainlanders. Taiwanese hate him less than his father because Chiang Jing Guo suppressed the “KMT democracy group” and promoted and raised Taiwan “extremist hardliners” like Lee Deng Hui. The “KMT Sun Yat-Sen democracy group” were the weak ones and the biggest victims, being suppressed by many sides, including Chiang Kai-Shek’s side, Mao’s communists, and the proposed “Taiwan-specific democracy” by the DPP. The American harsh general Stillwell had the cold heart to send Chinese soldiers in an extreme harsh way, and without any consideration, or treatment of humanity. When utilizing these young Chinese boys, Stillwell treated them like dogs. The soldiers cried “Who didn’t have parents?” But Vinegar Joe could not feel anything, because he looked down on Chinese and couldn’t feel the bleakness and danger of a jungle to any human being’s life. During WWII, Chinese soldiers bore the brunt of the wars and harsh treatments by an American commander general. The martyrs should not have died in vain! Speak for justice. Written by Free Mind

Henry Luce and I

Painting of Yangtze River Thank you so much, Henry Luce! I always treasure your beautiful gift to Taichung, and I can feel your gentle love. Because of your love toward China, a marvelous university like Donghai Eastern Sea University came about. In my opinion, perhaps because of my bias that I can’t help, as it is my birthplace, it is the most idyllic campus in the world. I came to know this great architect today in World Journal’s art display by Donghai University architect designer, Mr. Cheng Qi Kuan. Cheng, the designer of the campus and founder of the architecture department, internalized Chinese philosophy, aesthetics, which were passed on to me in Dong Hai University campus. A full course design on the wide acreage campus in the woods Classic expression abounds Leading to tranquil section With ultra modern dormitory Pulsating the science mythic wonders Who can express the western Church of the ultimate power Than I. M. Pei To exalt the mind A rare art wonder layout masterminded by great architects Filled in their hearts of passion of culture Interwoven in our psyche For years, I have been wondering how such a dream campus came about. Then I found the answer today, from the architect Dr. Chen Qi Kuan, and his life and temperament depicted an artistic abode’s life filled with spiritual dance in the tapestry. I have never been to Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, but I experienced it in its pure form when I visited Donghai University campus in my childhood. Off the woods The Literature Department, an arc leading to the courtyard A pair of white butterflies dancing in front of the powdered wall in the garden But it is just like ancient feeling of Tang Dynasty Chinese classic is still in the air Art designed brick with Chinese pattern Luce’s sister donated the fund, and Dr. I. M. Pei designed the church, and Dr. Chen Qi Kuan designed the campus. Mingled Art with life. A lost wonder world. A Tang Dynasty court yard for Literature wing from sheep intestine alley leading to. A pair of Butterflies flying with powdered wall. Newest modern dormitory. You created such a haute and exalt humanity art and science aesthetic environment in Taichung, Taiwan. It is like utopian, with ancient court yard and art nouveau. Because of you, so many dull minds were lifted to be in touch with graceful worlds. The original campus designing was requested by I. M. Pei to Dr. Chen Qi Kuan. My vibrant dream and romance breathed there. I talked to Doolittle’s old pilots and they told me how Nationalists in Jiangxi Province helped them. How the hungry guerrillas escorted the lost soldiers. How Nationalists gave America rare minerals, and the U.S. ordered China not to demand any redemption from Japan to help out with China's rebuilding after the war.

I don't understand the government's cruelty toward China, but I like the private individuals' kindness.

General Wedemeyer didn’t despise the inner land Chinese, but understanding and sympathetic. China gave America so much, and very nice Americans as our loyal friends, like Henry Luce, Wedemeyer, and many many more, make me feel great hope in America and my dream of China is so beautiful still ever.

A Little Flower 一朵小花

***一朵小花*** 〈一朵小花，啊～～～，啊～～～，啊～～～，一朵小花〉 小花生長在我家的粉牆下喲，我帶著小花兒送給了他，送給了他，幾番風吹雨打，不知花落誰家，我始終忘不了他，忘不了我的小花，我願和他帶來這朵小花兒回家，陪他騎著白馬去到那山上的古樹下，啊～～～，同看雨後雲空的片片彩霞，片片彩霞。 幾番風吹雨打，不知花落誰家，我始終忘不了他，忘不了我的小花，我願和他帶來這朵小花兒回家，陪他騎著白馬去到那山上的古樹下，啊～～～，同看雨後雲空的片片彩霞，片片彩霞。 One little flower Song of Ideology popular in Taiwan in the 1960s A deep wish embedded in an artistic song A little flower grew underneath my home powdered wall I took it to give to him Several rounds of wind blowing rain beating down Don’t know where the flower drop to whose home I never could forget him Can’t forget my little flower I wish to bring this flower home with him Accompany him ride the white horse to Beneath the ancient tree on the hill Ah ~ ~ ~ to see the pieces of rainbows After the rain In the cloud sky Many shreds of rainbows A Nationalist song in Taiwan who yearned to return home to China Some were never able to Because the home is across the deep strait Where ideology disallowed the reunion Where it remained a taboo Two decades later, this song disappeared In 1988 the government didn't care so much Because the Taiwan local conscious reined in any alien expresssion Because the politicians told them they were Disloyal to Taiwan if returning home Some even shouted "Get Out Thief!" So the little flower is no more Just long hollow echoing the Wind murmuring

A Journalist’s Memoir on the Soviet Red Army’s Rape of Manchuria

During the period of recovering Manchuria, General Sun Li Ren in Chang Chun City. He is in the center of the photograph, with his hand on his waist.

1000 Years of Sighs – The Soviet Red Army’s Rape of Manchuria and Memoir of Chinese Communist Occupation By Journalist Yu Heng

This is my principle during 25 years of writing. I write my own eyewitness accounts. With politics as longitude, and my reporter’s life as latitude, I weave such a book. I try to search through old newspapers, to match my memory and my diaries. I want to reach a high degree of truth.

“Every phrase has its bearing, and every word penned has its basis”. I don’t ever want to exaggerate to make it tainted, in order to keep its real credibility. After 25 years life as a journalist, I intend to use 2 years to write a complete document, so that there is an authentic record.

His record is about the era between 1945-1949, when communists took over Manchuria, and then all of China.

During this time, the United States was dominated by left-wing policymakers such as Harry Truman, George Marshall, Stuart Leighton, and John Fairbank, who tried to coerce the Chinese Nationalist government to split the country up with Mao, and when the Nationalists refused, retaliated with an arms embargo that crippled their war efforts.

During this period, the Chinese Nationalists were not supplied with even one gun from America, while the Soviets and Chinese Communists took weapons from the surrendered Japanese Guandong Army in Manchuria. Because of the secret pact of Yalta, the Japanese surrendered not to the Chinese, but to the Soviet Red Army in Manchuria.

In the beginning the Nationalists were recovering with success, but when George Marshall showed up in China, things started to turn for the bad. Marshall asked the Nationalists for a truce, while the Chinese Communists such as Lin Biao were growing in power and recruiting new troops.

I Woke Up With Edelweiss, and then I met the Young Marshal's Daughter

Old Marshall's Granddaughter, and Granddaughter of Central Committee Member, who Took Back Manchuria

Chang Tso-lin (1873–1928), the Old Marshall, was a Chinese general who fought in Manchuria against the Japanese in the Russo-Japanese war (1904-1905).

CCA group picture, with Manchurian Young Marshal's Daughter in the Center, in blue. I woke up with Edelweiss pure and white. Echoing in my dream is the yearning of a nation for their natural land and love Bless my homeland forever. Then I thought of the Chinese folksong, Moli Hua, Jasmine flower. A very pure young child’s voice. Sandor Petofi (1823-1849), a Hungarian poet said: “Liberty, love! These two I need. For my love I will sacrifice life, for liberty I will sacrifice my love.” Petõfi was a devoted advocate of freedom and self-determination of Hungary. Please listen attentively to Petofi’s heartbeat and passion. Eastern Europeans were resisting against tyrannical ruling of foreign control. It is all because of such horrible misunderstandings about the Nationalist and their defending their freedom against invasion from foreign country, either Soviet international communist ideology, or Japanese militarism. Why would Russia, America, and England jointly decide in a secret treaty called Yalta to give a country’s sovereignty to be under Russian control? Sympathy for Manchuria’s Tragic Fate The Day I met Young Marshal’s daughter My high school teacher introduced me to his Manchurian regional celebrity, the young Marshal’s daughter. She said “All seems so far away...” I chatted with her at a Chinese New Year celebration gathering. They are in seclusion, but make rare appearances. I told her I like her family, and believe that her father was a good man. She told me that her grandfather founded a university and how the Manchurian airplanes and Manchurian pilots served China against Japanese. Your grandfather is Zhang Zuo Lin, the old marshal? She said, “He was killed by the Japanese.” “I was very little.” At that time, the Nationalist government didn’t have air force or airplanes. Zhang’s army was the one that had the planes. I was in disbelief that after my near 3 decade study of Manchuria, I can see the relative subject in front of me. During that era, grandmother was in college, and dating grandfather. Grandmother’s father was younger than the old marshal.
