是吧,我来台湾玩之前做了一点功课,其实蒋介石对民族的贡献也是很大的。比如在清末军阀割据的时候领导了两次北伐,统一了乱世中的中国;比如对文化教育的重视等等。还有他到死都坚持一个中国的信念,坚决不搞台独。

Yeah. Before I went to Taiwan I did some research. In fact, Chiang Kai-shek's contributions to the people were pretty great. For example, when the country was being carved up by warlords at the end of the Qing Dynasty, he led an invasion into the north two times to unite China. Another example was his valuing of culture and education. And even at the end of his life he was still committed to the idea of one China, and that Taiwan should not be independent.
