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
