The Generalissimo's Son pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
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.

評分蔣傢兩代偉人,一脈相承,對比大陸,蔣介石在颱灣建立瞭“模範社會”,經國進一步把它進化為真正的民主。 蔣經國1988年去世,讓大部分中國人錯過的最後也是最近的一個民主契機。 馬英九繼承瞭經國的理想,颱灣現在是昏暗大陸邊上的一站自由明燈,雖然中國人的未來依舊渺茫,姑且隻能寄希望於他。
評分英文版非常好看!綫索清晰,巨細恰當,講述瞭中國一個時代偉人的故事。

这是一段初中、高中六年来反复背诵的历史,但印在脑子的记忆是被人阉割整容过的,此书虽不尽深入,但展现了历史的另一面。历史、世界从来都不是只有一面,而且也并非一定有正邪,也许看似敌对的两边只是选择的路线不同。读《台湾那些年》时,惊奇于那一岸的生活里有自己...
評分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...
評分去年,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,...

評分历史越是向前推进,或许越能彰显出蒋经国的难能可贵。南方朔说:“在所有的民意调查里,蒋经国都是遥遥领先他人的最优领导人,这不是台湾人对权威时代有乡愁,而是在经过二十多年的历史淘洗,人们终于惊悟到蒋经国当然不完美,但却是相对最好的领导人。”他以独裁开始...
