Cash My Check

In my today piece on the late Madame Chiang Kai-shek, I left the impression

that Chiang himself is buried in that grand mausoleum whose site I linked

to. Not so, as a reader reminds me: “Chiang is not interred at the CKS

Memorial hall. I’ve recently come back from spending a year in Taiwan.

Chiang’s body is at one of his summer villas in Taoyuan County, in the

mountains near Shih Men Dam. … I went there in January of last year.

You can walk through the room where his body lies, and all of the Chinese

will bow towards him.”
