Speaker: Kuo, Tai-chun
Research Fellow
Hoover Institution
Stanford University
CHINESE LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED!
Outline of the Talk:
The Hoover Institution is building the largest, probably the most unique Chinese archives and special materials collection. These valuable historical materials include party archives of the Kuomintang (KMT) and private papers of top Chinese leaders in the 20th and 21st centuries, such as diaries of Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石) and Chiang Ching-kuo (蔣經國), private papers of T. V. Soong (宋子文), K’ung Hsiang-his (孔祥熙), Chang Chia-ngau (張嘉璈), Huang Fu (黃孚), Chen Du-xiu (陳獨秀), Ying Hai-guang (殷海光), etc.
Hoover Institution’s historical papers record the arguments and different opinions held by Chinese leaders and elites in the 20th century China. The availability of these documents has brought up a reassessment and a re-interpretation of important events and political leaders of modern China. With a growing interest in the West and East to understand China, these historical papers provide an understanding of the new forces at work in Taiwan and China that have roots in the 20th century.
The talk will focus on Chiang Kai-shek and T. V. Soong based on their personal records now preserved at Hoover Institution.
