04/27/2022 EG: Trip to the Ching-Kuo Chi-Hai Cultural Park

Thank you for joining us at the Ching Kuo Chi-Hai Cultural Park on Wednesday, what a coincidence, it happened to be Chiang’s birthday on this special day.

The park received its eponymous name from the late president Chiang and his home, the Chi-Hai Residence, which he and his family resided in for 19 years. The house interior was unpretentious, the park also features the first Presidential Library in Taiwan. This library is a center for both scholarly research as well as a ever lasting tribute to the late President Chiang Ching Kuo. We were so honored to receive hearty welcome by the foundation chairman Dr. Fredrick Chien, to hear his speech at presidential library and have a very productive dialogue with our members.

When we reflect on Chiang Ching-Kuo’s life, we have new respect for every individual who has struggled and still struggles on behalf of Taiwan.

非常感謝大家週三與我們一起參訪經國七海文化園區,當天是經國先生112歲的冥誕,在這特別的日子來到園區向經國先生致敬。

經國七海文化園區以『七海寓所』及『蔣經國總統圖書館』為核心,七海寓所是經國先生夫婦的生活空間,共住了十九年,這是經國先生在台灣唯一保存下來的故居,內部簡樸,沒有豪奢裝潢。園區的總統圖書館是台灣第一座總統圖書館,規劃為學術研究中心,對已故蔣經國總統的永久致敬。

我們很榮幸受到前外交部長及監察院長,現任基金會董事長錢復博士的熱烈歡迎,在總統圖書館聆聽他的演講,並與我們的會員進行討論與對話。
這座台北人文新地標,融合了歷史,學術,教育,景觀與生態的文化園區,非常值得我們仔細地來探索。我們紀錄了當日參訪活動的照片與大家一同分享。

回顧經國先生的一生,我們對每一位曾經為台灣奮鬥過和仍在奮鬥的人,都懷有新的敬意。
