Features: A "Three Principles of the People" reader marked with circles and dots won him Chiang Kai-shek's favor; a few counter-bullets against Chen Jingming further earned Chiang's special attention. This marked the beginning of his meteoric rise in the Chiang family's dynasty. From the Warlord Era to the War of Resistance Against Japan, from his ignominious retreat from the mainland to his arduous efforts in Taiwan, he strove tirelessly to mend the broken sky. He spent his entire life opposing the Communists, shouting for counter-offense, yet at the end of his days, not a single word mentioned this. Strange? Peculiar? This book is well-researched and presents an impartial perspective, being the first publication in China dedicated to the life of Chen Cheng.
