This article quotes Hou Han-ting's view, using strong irony to discuss Chiang Kai-shek's historical status. It concedes that Chiang Kai-shek killed people, but points out that the killings occurred in the historical context of resisting Japan, fighting Communism, and purging Communist believers. The article highlights Chiang Kai-shek's contributions to Taiwan Province, including bringing in talent (such as Qian Mu and Hu Shih), gold, Palace Museum artifacts, and promoting land reform and nine-year compulsory education. It argues that these contributions were the foundation for Taiwan Province's post-war development and prosperity. The author calls for the restoration of historical truth and emphasizes the need to be grateful for the benefits received and remember his achievements.
