Do you want to know about Chiang Kai-shek? Do you want to uncover the private lives of the Chiang family in the presidential palace? Do you want to learn about the true circumstances of the Chiang family in Taiwan? The personal aide and deputy adjutant of Chiang Kai-shek reveals a Chiang Kai-shek and his family as seen through his eyes. As a loyal retainer and inner servant of the Chiang family, the author faithfully accompanied Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Jingguo on their travels across the country for nearly forty-three years, until the father and son passed away. It is precisely the author's rich and precious experiences around and at the core of the "family" that have given us the opportunity to fully understand the humanity, character, habits, emotions, beliefs, spirit, talents, dreams, will, and personnel philosophy of Chiang Kai-shek. It offers a glimpse into the private lives of the Chiang and Soong couple in the "presidential palace" and the unknown inner mysteries of the Chiang family's rule in Taiwan. It allows us to "witness" the Chiang family's journey from decline to strength and back to decline.
