Chiang Ching-kuo, son and political heir of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, was born in 1910, when Chinese women, nearly all illiterate, hobbled about on bound feet and men wore pigtails as symbols of subservience to the Manchu Dynasty. In his youth Ching-kuo was a Communist and a Trotskyite, and he lived twelve years in Russia. He died in 1988 as the leader of Taiwan, a Chinese society with a flourishing consumer economy and a budding but already wild, woolly, and open democracy. He was an actor in many of the events of the last century that shaped the history of China's struggles and achievements in the modern era: the surge of nationalism among Chinese youth, the grand appeal of Marxism-Leninism, the terrible battle against fascist Japan, and the long, destructive civil war between the Nationalists and the Communists. In 1949, he fled to Taiwan with his father and two million Nationalists. He led the brutal suppression of dissent on the island and was a major player in the cold, sometimes hot war between Communist China and America. By reacting to changing economic, social, and political dynamics on Taiwan, Sino-American rapprochement, Deng Xiaoping's sweeping reforms on the mainland, and other international events, he led Taiwan on a zigzag but ultimately successful transition from dictatorship to democracy.
Jay Taylor underscores the interaction of political developments on the mainland and in Taiwan and concludes that if China ever makes a similar transition, it will owe much to the Taiwan example and the Generalissimo's son.
Jay Taylor is a Research Associate at The Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University.
All right, I am an autocrat, but I am the last. I am using my power to ensure the introduction of democracy.---Ching-Kuo Chiang.
评分英文版非常好看!线索清晰,巨细恰当,讲述了中国一个时代伟人的故事。
评分光抓人你已经被告多少次了?我想尽办法跟中常会解释,说你刚从苏联回来还不习惯国内那一套,你还到处抓人,难道你还信奉共产主义?你忘了自己是共产党还是国民党?
评分蒋家两代伟人,一脉相承,对比大陆,蒋介石在台湾建立了“模范社会”,经国进一步把它进化为真正的民主。 蒋经国1988年去世,让大部分中国人错过的最后也是最近的一个民主契机。 马英九继承了经国的理想,台湾现在是昏暗大陆边上的一站自由明灯,虽然中国人的未来依旧渺茫,姑且只能寄希望于他。
评分始于2012-01-31,是kindle买来读的第一本书。去年因准备考试暂停,今年冬天再次翻开,终于读完了。
二十世纪号称中国四大传记,我读过二本,林语堂写的苏东坡,梁启超写的李鸿章,觉得都不错。朱东润的张居正,吴晗的朱元璋,据说差一点,还没有读。其他的传记也读过一些,国内建国以后的,满纸谎言,自不必说,国外的,写得好,真实而又有趣的也不多。 这个周一,在南京太平...
评分去年,母亲于台湾游玩归来,讲起台湾种种旅行见闻兴高采烈,唯有讲到白色恐怖时我竖耳听得认真。说是台湾民众到现在都没忘记当时国民党岛内实施的恐怖,台湾总统府前立有一座白色恐怖受难者纪念碑,进而提到最后的那一段非常有名的碑文:“我们不仅要追求历史真相,追究责任,...
评分早在1950年代,台湾的省辖市市长就是选举产生的,党外人士高玉树分别在1954、1964两度当选台北市长。首府一把手居然不是自己同志,国民党大佬们觉得很没面子(可见选举过程应该还算公正),于是力促将台北升级为直辖市,这样就可以不用选了。总统蒋介石同意了,旋即任命高玉树...
评分15岁时,蒋经国找吴稚晖推荐其去苏联留学。吴稚晖说:“革命不是这么简单的,你再去考虑一下”。两周后,经国依然想去苏联。吴稚晖说:“你去试试也好,青年人多尝试一次,都是好的。“ 16岁时,蒋经国在莫斯科和21岁的邓小平在河边散步,畅谈邓在巴黎的见闻,和两个年轻人对...
评分书里刻画的蒋经国是一个令人尊敬的人物。从赣南专使到主政台湾,在我脑海里的蒋经国是一个干练,细致,不失人情味的领导者。全书既无学术文章的晦涩,也不像戏说的跌宕,眼前就是一个带着黑框眼镜的哈佛学者,将传记本人的历史娓娓道来,功过是非由读者自评。 评论里有好有坏...
