Chiang Zhongzheng's Diary

"Chiang Zhongzheng's Diary"^[1] Ancestor "Chiang Kai-shek's Diary" is Chiang Kai-shek's private diary , spanning from 1915 to July 21, 1972, when he was unable to continue writing due to hand muscular dystrophy in his hand—a total of 57 years, and is a history of China. The most complete and most informative leader's diary available in the world. However, the diaries of 1915, 1916, and 1917 were lost when they fled from an attack by the Beiyang government in Yongtai County, Fujian Province, at the end of 1918. The Diary of 1915 only survived for 13 Scholars. Scholars also cite history, which scholars also note, but it is not a diary. The 1924 diary may have been lost during the Whampoa Military Academy period. Scholars of Cross-strait relations believe that this diary is highly authentic and authoritative, subverting the past official narratives of the Chinese Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party^[1].

Chiang Zhongzheng's diary was initially kept by himself. After Chiang's death, it was handed over to Chiang Ching-kuo for safekeeping; after Chiang Ching-kuo's death, it was handed over to Chiang Hsiao-yung for safekeeping; after Chiang Hsiao-yung's death, it was handed over to Chiang Fang Zhiyi for safekeeping. At the end of 2004, researchers at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, Guo Daijun, and Ramon H. Myers, obtained Chiang Fangzhiyi's authorization and personally visited the Chiang family in Canada and the United States to bring the diaries to the Hoover Institution Library and Archives for storage^[2].

Chiang Kai-shek's diary is "temporarily stored in the archives of the Hoover Institution Library and Archives of Stanford University in the United States and has been opened for researchers to refer to^[3]microform , but it may be because Chiang Ching-kuo or Chiang Zhongzheng himself, or other members of the Chiang family The diaries have been omitted or blackened out, resulting in a small portion of the diaries being incomplete. At the request of the Chiang family, the Hoover Institution has also processed a small amount of content that has no privacy implications for history research. This part of the content will be fully disclosed in 2035. ^[4]

On September 14, 2023, Chiang Kai-shek's diary was transported to Taiwan from Stanford University and became a collection of the National History Museum. ^[5] On October 31, 2023, the National History Museum published the seven-volume "Diary of Chiang Kai-shek" from 1948 to 1954, authorized by the Republic of China History and Culture Society to publish it. Chen Yishen, director of the National History Museum, and Lu, president of the Republic of China History and Culture Society Seven volumes of General Fang were presented to Frederick Chien, Chairman of the Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation, and Jiang Fang Zhiyi, Chairman of the Chiang Kai-Shek Cultural and Educational Foundation^[1].

Version

There are many versions of Chiang Kai-shek's diary^[6]:

Manuscript: the original manuscript.
Fake copy: a copy copied by Chiang Kai-shek's orders according to the original version, from 1920 to 1970, with 1924, 1948, and 1949 missing in between^[6].
Codex-like
- Category 1: Written by Mao Sicheng, who copied out Chiang Kai-shek's diary by category. Later, during the Cultural Revolution, the Mao family was ransacked by the Red Guards and found hidden in a wall. It was finally left in the Second Historical Archives of China in Nanjing^[7].
- Category 2: During the Second Sino-Japanese War, Chiang ordered Wang Yugao and Wang Yuzheng to continue to classify and excerpt their diaries, which were divided into five categories: "Kong Mian Ji," "Provincial Ke Ji," "Xue Ji," "Love Ji" and "Travel Notes." Kind. The editor also added historical sources to fill in the parts not mentioned in Chiang Kai-shek's diary and also polished Chiang's diary. The National History Museum has now published it^[5].
Quoted version: "A brief story draft, " edited by Sun Yi. Chiang Kai-shek's proclamations and correspondence from 1927 to 1949 are included, but parts of Chiang Kai-shek's diary have been deleted and beautified. There are also other references to Chiang Kai-shek's diary writings, but I will not list them here^[8].

Background

Chiang Zhongzheng's diary was neatly written in the diary with an Ink brush by Chiang Zhongzheng from 1919 until his illness in 1972. The original text has no punctuation marks, all of which were added by later generations. However, the volume is so vast that it takes a lot of effort to decipher it^[9].

Hoover Institution

At the end of 2004, Chiang Fang Zhiyi moved the original private diaries of Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-Kuo (collectively known as the "Two Chiang Diaries") to the Hoover Institution of Stanford University in the United States for temporary storage for 50 years.^[10]Elena Danielson, director of the Hoover Institution Archives, said they currently have more than 100 manuscript files belonging to figures in modern Chinese history, and the diaries of the two Chiang Kai-sheks are only temporarily on loan for safekeeping. Guo Daijun, deputy director of the First Bureau of the Presidential Office during the Lee Teng-hui administration, was hired by the Hoover Institution five years ago^[11].

On March 25, 2006, the Chairman of the Kuomintang , Ma Ying-jeou, and Chiang Fang Zhiyi visited Stanford University. He made the original Chiang Kai-shek diary (from 1917 to 1931) public for the first time^[10].

The "Modern China Archives and Special Collections of Historical Materials" established by the Hoover Institution include the archives of the Chinese Kuomintang, the diaries of the two Chiang Kai-sheks, the archives of the Chinese Women's Federation, etc. Chen Cheng donated the original documents captured during his campaign to suppress the Communist Party in Jiangxi and conquered the CCP's Ruijin to the Hoover Institution.^[11]Chang Kia-ngau, an essential figure in Northeast China who was admitted to the Second World War during World War II, also gave his documents to the Hoover Institution. ^[10]T. V. Soong's documents and the diaries of the two Chiang Kai-sheks have also been given to the Hoover Institution. It belongs to the Hoover Institution. The Premier of the Republic of China, Hau Pei-tsun and Tang Fei, and the list of presidents of the Control Yuan, Wang Tso-jung, and other Chinese Kuomintang elders also gave their documents and archives to them for collection.^[11]

Court protection order

On September 25, 2013, Stanford University filed a lawsuit against Chiang's diary in the California court where it is located.^[12]The university's appointed lawyer said that the lawsuit's purpose is to ask the court to rule that Chiang's diaries should be kept by Stanford University or returned to the descendants of the Chiang family rather than to ask the court to rule on who owns the Chiang diaries. Only Jiang Fangzhiyi signed a contract with the university to keep Chiang's diary, and the ownership of the diary belongs to the descendants of the Chiang family. Hence, the university's current authorization to keep it is incomplete^[12].

The joint heirs to the ownership of Jiang's diary are Chiang Hsiao-chang, Jiang Cai Huimei, Jiang Fangzhiyi, Jiang Youmei, Jiang Youlan, Jiang Yousong, Demos Chiang, Jiang Youchang, and Jiang Youqing^[13]^[14].

On June 19, 2020, the Taiwan Taipei District Court that the part of Chiang Kai-shek's diary during Chiang Kai-shek's term as president is a state-owned cultural relic of the Republic of China and should be managed by the National History Museum, while the remaining part is shared by descendants of the Chiang family^[15]^[14].

On July 11, 2023, after a series of judgments and a settlement between the National History Museum and the Chiang family, the Federal District Court in San Jose, California, USA, ruled that the ownership of these documents will belong to the National History Museum^[14]^[16].

National History Museum

According to the U.S. court's ruling on July 11, 2023, Stanford University should transfer the complete documents to the National History Museum within 60 days. On September 14 of the same year, 59 boxes of diaries of Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo and his son were successfully shipped to Taiwan. They were taken over and managed by the staff of the National History Museum^[17]. The first batch of partial diary contents is planned to be published in October 2023. It will be published as soon as possible in the future. Digitization for public research use^[17]^[18].

Influence

Lu Fang, a professor at the Department of History at Tunghai University, said: From Chiang Kai-shek's diary, we can see the journey of an "ordinary person" to a "leader." There is no need to sanctify or demonize deliberately. Many people know Chiang was thrifty, mended rags, was not picky about food, had dentures, and ate. Jiang did not drink or smoke, and Zhuan drank boiled water. ^[19]His life was very ordinary. From Chiang's diary, we can understand that he found it easy to form alliances and enemies; Forming alliances may be related to his life experience in Shanghai, while forming enemies may involve personality. It can be seen from Chiang’s diary that he was harsh in criticizing characters, had a military style, and was both modern and traditional. ^[18] But because he likes reading, he is still different from ordinary soldiers and has a somewhat literati temperament. He admitted that he had a bad temper, scolding civilian officials and punching and kicking soldiers. Although he tried to restrain himself, his personality seemed challenging to change. ^[19]He is diligent in his work and attaches great importance to manuscripts. He often writes manuscripts and speeches by himself. ^[19] The history study should be based on human nature, and this diary is a rare book for research with a "human touch"^[19].

Guo Daijun said that Chiang Kai-shek's diary often contains text analyzing current international situations and newspaper clippings^[19]. Chiang’s diary shows he had a higher vision and usually considered problems from multiple aspects, so he achieved greatness. Chiang's diary describes the tragic situation of the ruined farmhouses and the drift of the people, and he feels heartbroken for the people trapped in the fire and water. He is concerned about national issues, not just military interests, but also people's lives^[20].

Yang Tianshi, a researcher at the Institute of Modern History of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that Chiang Kai-shek's diary lasted for more than 50 years, which helps people understand his inner world and many unknown historical secrets^[21]. Chiang Kai-shek's diary was generally written for his use rather than to be passed down to others. The diary is more realistic and expressive and is used for memoranda, arranging work and life, moral cultivation, summarizing human experience, or venting emotions^[22].
