Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall - Taipei, Taiwan

In the middle of Taipei is a mind boggling memorial that’ll make you feel the size of an ant. The democratic nation of Taiwan has a complicated history that continues to shape the action of today. On this episode we’ll take a look at this Taipei’s Enormous Dictator Memorial.
The National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall was built in memory of Chiang Kai-shek, former President of the Republic of China. This landmark, located in the Zhongzheng District of Taipei, Taiwan will leave in you awe as your eyes first take in the sight. The building and ground space this national monument occupies is enormous. Upon entering through the main gate, immediately to your left and right are two massive buildings. The National Theater and National Concert Hall are the huge orange roofed buildings with the memorial hall being the taller white building with a blue roof at the end of a long walkway.
The site sprawls across 59 acres or 240,000 square meters of land. The memorial hall itself is 76 meters or 249 feet tall with that construction starting in 1976 and completing in 1980. The two sets of white stairs leading up to the building’s opening have exactly 89 steps which represent Chiang Kai-shek’s age when he passed. The doors to the memorial hall are outrageous to say the least, these doors are 52 feet or 16 meters tall as weigh as much as 11 african elephants.
Inside the main chamber honour guards stand fixed in position for 1 hour at a time before switching with another guard. A ceremony has the multiple honour guards walking rigidly, spinning their guns among other things as they hand off the position in the hall. There is also a second entrance into the Memorial Hall at ground level that has some of Chiang’s possessions on display like a calligraphy, uniforms and 2 bulletproof cadillacs. I guess that was his car of choice. If that isn’t enough action for you there is a flag lowering ceremony at 5:00pm every day.
While you might think this landmark is in the outskirts of town, it’s actually smack dab right in the middle of town. It’s a relaxing place to get away from the busy streets of Taipei, with that said you won’t be the only one there though, there are plenty of tourists scurrying around.
The park surrounding The National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall was renamed in 2007 to Liberty Park in honour of Taiwan's transfer to becoming a democratic nation. Chiang Kai-shek was a leader of the Republic of China and an influential member of the KMT or Kuomintang which makes it so ironic that the main entrance, called Liberty Gate, leads to the communist leader’s memorial. Debate continues off and on whether the dictator’s bronze statue and merchandise sold should be removed from the site and the memorial’s name be changed completely.
If you want to learn more about the Kuomintang I talk more about their actions in Taiwan in one of our other videos “The Most Beautiful Subway Station”. So be sure to check that out.
Whether you care about the history of this place or not, if you are ever in Taipei, you really need to stop off to see this place. The sheer scale of the building is beyond impressive. So along with the long stroll between buildings, ceremonies and selfies, there are immaculate gardens with ponds on either sides of the path. These ponds are home to turtles, carp, frogs and kingfisher. So there is plenty to see here.

八月末放風日誌 End of August: Explore cafe, bar, Ning Xia night market | Mexxupjournal #5
謝謝觀看我的八月日誌，片段有些破碎，但卻是我在這個月中難得的快樂日子。即便生活有很多無法預知且難以掌控的顛簸，我還是希望自己能打起精神來。我覺得在這段時間出現在我身邊的朋友都是天使，偶爾出個門溜達、聊聊天、吃吃喝喝的，讓自己從不好的情緒中釋放。快樂是一天，不快樂也是一天，那還是快樂些你說是吧！
Hello guys, I'm finally back on youtube since forever. I'm bringing you a super random end of August #Vlog. Its been a very tough month for me, but I'm not letting myself being down. So I picked up my phone and filmed the (rare) happy moments to remind myself of the good things in life. I am so grateful for my friends who spend time with me and I had a lot of fun bar hopping, trying a new hip brunch spot, Ikea and last but not least Ningxia Night Market.
So, here I left you some details where I went, if you are interested. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, would always love to hear from you.

Chiang Kai-shek | Wikipedia audio article
This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:
Chiang Kai-shek
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Chiang Kai-shek (; 31 October 1887 – 5 April 1975), also known as Generalissimo Chiang or Chiang Chungcheng and romanized as Chiang Chieh-shih or Jiang Jieshi, was a politician and military leader who served as the leader of the Republic of China between 1928 and 1975, first in mainland China until 1949 and then in exile in Taiwan. He was recognized by much of the world as the head of the legitimate government of China until the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Chiang was an influential member of the Kuomintang (KMT), the Chinese Nationalist Party, as well as a close ally of Sun Yat-sen's. Chiang became the Commandant of the Kuomintang's Whampoa Military Academy and took Sun's place as leader of the KMT following the Canton Coup in early 1926. Having neutralized the party's left wing, Chiang then led Sun's long-postponed Northern Expedition, conquering or reaching accommodations with China's many warlords.From 1928 to 1948, Chiang served as chairman of the National Government of the Republic of China (ROC). Chiang was socially conservative, promoting traditional Chinese culture in the New Life Movement. Unable to maintain Sun's good relations with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Chiang purged them in a massacre at Shanghai and repressed uprisings at Kwangtung (Canton region) and elsewhere.
At the onset of the Second Sino-Japanese War, which later became the Chinese theater of World War II, Manchurian warlord Zhang Xueliang kidnapped Chiang and obliged him to establish a Second United Front with the CCP. After the defeat of the Japanese, the American-sponsored Marshall Mission, an attempt to negotiate a coalition government, failed in 1946. The Chinese Civil War resumed, with the CCP led by Mao Zedong defeating the KMT and declaring the People's Republic of China in 1949. Chiang's government and army retreated to Taiwan, where Chiang imposed martial law and persecuted critics in a period known as the White Terror. After evacuating to Taiwan, Chiang's government continued to declare its intention to retake mainland China. Chiang ruled Taiwan securely as President of the Republic of China and General of the Kuomintang until his death in 1975, just one year before Mao's death.Like Mao, Chiang is regarded as a controversial figure. Supporters credit him with playing a major part in the Allied victory of World War II and unifying the nation and a national figure of the Chinese resistance against Japan as well as his staunch anti-Soviet and anti-communist stance. Detractors and critics denounce him as a dictator at the front of an authoritarian autocracy who suppressed and purged opponents and critics and arbitrarily incarcerated those he deemed as opposing to the Kuomintang among others.

孟喬森跳蚤 ||||||||| 影像聯展
【Munchausen Flea Photo Exhibition】
– Only dead fish go with the flow
孟喬森男爵虛構了許多自己的荒誕故事，
而成為了心理疾病和負面幻想的代名詞。
一次有趣的生物實驗，
科學家在瓶中放入一隻跳蚤，
跳蚤輕易的就跳出來了。改把這隻跳蚤放入加蓋的瓶中，
跳蚤每次跳起後都會碰撞，
漸漸地，
跳蚤開始根據蓋子的高度來調整自己所跳的高度。
一段時間後取下蓋子，
跳蚤卻再也跳不出來了。
孟喬森跳蚤，總幻想自己活在受限的空間中，
因害怕碰撞而彆扭的跳著，
卻不知自己的潛能是很強大的，
只要揭開心裡的那個蓋子，便能跳得更高更遠。

Puppets for the Gods
To make the gods happy on a Saturday night: Puppet theatre playing in front of a small temple in ZhongZheng Rd (中正路) in central LinKou, Taiwan. Only one human spectator (and me for a few minutes), but that does not matter.
