摘要
Chiang Kai-shek never personally said that he wanted a cult of personality. In fact, he had been quick to criticize the cults around Stalin and Mao. But it would be hard to ignore the fact that during and for a brief period after his lifetime, a powerful propaganda machine arose to adore and admire him.
Today, many of his statues and pictures have been taken down. People including historians and artists have dug up the horrors of his rule.
