From Russia to Taiwan: Remembering Chiang Ching-kuo (Page 1/9) In 1925, the 16-year-old Chiang Ching-kuo told his teacher Wu Ching-heng that he wanted to go to Moscow to "engage in revolution."

Three times Chiang Ching-kuo requested permission to return home, but each time he was refused, because the communists believed that they could use him as a trump card for improving Soviet-Chinese relations. In 1978 Chiang Ching-kuo became the president of the Republic of China, but his political foundations had been cultivated by his previous life experiences. www.sinorama.com.tw /en/1998/199801/701008e1.html   (472 words)
