内容説明
Chen Li-fu's memoir, The Storm Clouds Clear over China, describes the tragedy and hope of China's twentieth-century revolution as seen through the eyes of a major participant. Chen served as the private secretary and close confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, president of the Republic of China, holding important official posts during the momentous years from 1926 to 1950.

After twenty years' absence from activepolitical life, Chen returned to Taiwan from the United States in 1970, at Chiang's invitation. In addition to devoting himself to the arts, traditional Chinese medicine and Confucian learning, Chen continued his close relationship with the Kuomintang leadership. He provides add
