Details:Former ROC President Chiang Ching-kuo was born on the 18th day of the third lunar month in 1910 in Fenghua County of Chekiang Province, and he died on January 13, 1988. April 13, 2009 is his 100th birthday. In honor and in remembrance of him, Chunghwa Post is issuing a commemorative set of four stamps and a miniature sheet, featuring his portraits and pictures of him out among the people he loved.
Chiang Ching-kuo served as chairman of the Vocational Assistance Commission for Retired Servicemen, minister of national defense, vice-premier, premier, and president of the ROC (for the sixth and seventh terms of that office). He launched the Ten Major Construction Projects and the Twelve New Development Projects, which promoted the nation’s economic prosperity and created the world famous “Taiwan experience.” He undertook political reforms, lifted martial law and bans on the creation of new newspapers and political parties, laying down a solid foundation for a democratic Taiwan. Under his leadership, people were allowed to visit their relatives in mainland China. That decision marked a new page in the history of relations between Taiwan and mainland China. The people of Taiwan revered and loved Chiang Ching-kuo because of his devotion to the nation.
