Chiang Kai-shek

A community portal about Chiang Kai-shek with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Chiang Kai-shek was a Chinese military and political leader who assumed the leadership of the Kuomintang after the 1925 death of Sun Yat-sen. He began his military education at the Baoding Military Academy, in 1906, attended the Military State Academy in Japan in 1907. Chiang Kai-shek served in the Imperial Japanese Army from 1909 to 1911. He commanded the Northern Expedition to unify China against the warlords and emerged victorious in 1928 as the overall leader of the Republic of China. Chiang led China in the Second Sino-Japanese War, during which Chiang's stature within China weakened, but his international prominence grew. During the Chinese Civil War, Chiang attempted to eradicate the Chinese Communists, but ultimately failed, forcing his government to retreat to Taiwan, where he continued serving as the President of the Republic of China and Director-General of the KMT for the remainder of his life.

Taiwan - Blue hour over Ceremonial gateway at the entrance to the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial

The National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall is a famous monument erected in memory of Chiang Kai-shek, former President of the Republic of China. It is located in Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China. The monument, surrounded by a park, stands at the east end of the Gate of Great Centrality and Perfect Uprightness. The structure is framed on the north and south by the National Theater and National Concert Hall. The entire plaza is located within sight of the Presidential Office Building.

It is not always about looking up but also looking down. While being on the square in front of the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial I noticed that there was a further attention paid to the way the tiles or stones have been laid. I have used it as additional interesting component to my composition.
