The "China Daily" in the United States disclosed the secret of Chiang Ching-kuo's diabetes to the outside world as early as 10 years before his death. In fact, it was even earlier, that is, the "Mirror" in Hong Kong preceded it. "China Daily" first made relevant hints in its October 1977 issue. This person was a reporter who knew the inside story of Taiwan's political situation, named Hu Chi. In December 1985, the same madman once again published an article titled "Legends about Chiang Ching-kuo's Numerology, Feng Shui and Health" in Hong Kong's "Mirror". The inside story of Jiang's condition revealed by Hu Chi this time is even more detailed. There is a passage like this: "Chiang Ching-kuo succeeded to the throne and made some achievements at the beginning, but has been declining in recent years. China has launched wave after wave of peaceful reunification offensives, and Taiwan is struggling to cope. Increasingly in the international arena Isolation. In 1982, Chiang Ching-kuo was hospitalized due to advanced diabetes, and the succession crisis broke out. Recently, the Jiangnan case and the Shixin case have occurred, and the crisis has expanded from the political field to the financial and economic field. According to predictions by fortune tellers, Jiang will have good fortunes in the next two years, because in 1986, he will be born in Bingyin, which belongs to fire, and Yin belongs to wood; in 1987, he will be born in Dingmao, which belongs to fire, and Mao belongs to wood, and wood fire is strong. If everything goes well, it will be Chiang's golden moment."
However, in addition to the above statement, this man named Hu Chi wrote this: "Chiang Ching-kuo has become superstitious about fortune-telling in recent years. The folk publication "Thunder" obviously had a purpose in publishing the predictions about Chiang Ching-kuo's good fortune. Whether these predictions can be trusted is another question 60 years ago. Ci Bingyin and Ding Mao were the darkest years of Chiang Ching-kuo's life, and he was tortured in the Soviet Union. Therefore, whether this prediction is true remains to be seen. "
This analysis by Hu Chi, It really jumped out of the category of superstitious reasoning that he had written before. There is a hint of idealism in history. However, Hu Chi's article was published in Hong Kong's "Mirror" monthly magazine, which really made people who were eager to understand Chiang Ching-kuo's physical condition at that time have to do some careful consideration. Especially for those officials who are concerned about whether Chiang Kai-shek's son can continue to maintain strongman rule, Hu Chi's article is indeed not a random analysis without factual basis.
Of course, some analysts believe that Chiang Ching-kuo died because he believed that his nuclear weapons program had been exposed by spies planted by the United States in Taiwan.
