Chiang Kai-shek's diary once recorded intimate details with Chen Jieru (picture) According to Taiwan's China Times, the relationship between Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jieru has always been regarded as a sensitive restricted area in the history of the Kuomintang. However, according to the first batch of Chiang's diaries from 1927 to 1931 released to the public by the Hoover Institution of Stanford University in 2006, Chiang Kai-shek himself did record his intimate life with Chen Jieru. According to Shao Minghuang, director of the Kuomintang Party History Museum, he mentioned in the article "Chiang Kai-shek's Family, Love and Friendship" that when he reviewed Chiang Kai-shek's diary, he paid special attention to private notes such as "I was pestering Jieru again last night. Heroes are short of breath since ancient times." Shao Minghuang said that the first appearance of "Jieru" in Chiang Kai-shek's diary was recorded on November 27, 1922: "In the afternoon, I visited Jieru." Since then, the frequency of "Jieru" appearing in the diary has increased. At that time, Jiang led his army on the Northern Expedition, and wrote letters and photos from time to time to "Lumei" (Chen Jieru's real name) to express his longing for her. When Chen Jiongming rebelled, Jiang was urged by Sun Yat-sen's telegram to go to Shanghai. Jiang recorded: "In the evening, I rode in a car with Lumei and visited the night scene. I couldn't save the trouble in Guangdong, so I wrote about my worries." Data map: On March 19, 2009, the five-door cabinet used by Chiang Kai-shek and Chen Jieru when they got married was moved from Chen Jieru’s original Tamsui Road residence to the Shanghai Fu Shou Yuan Humanities Memorial Hall, where it became one of the important collections of the Shanghai Qingming Moon Memorial Exhibition. The picture shows Chen Yaoguang, the 85-year-old adopted daughter of Chen Jieru, donating her mother's "dowry" and taking a "farewell" photo in front of her home. According to reports, on December 5, 1921, Chen Jieru and Chiang Kai-shek held a wedding in Shanghai. This five-door cabinet is one of the dowry furniture given to Chen Jieru by Chen Jieru's mother.
