"Chiang Zhongzheng's Diary"[1] Ancestor "Chiang Kai-shek's Diary"[2] is Chiang's private diary from 1915 to July 21, 1972 due to the inability to write due to extinct disease after an autopsy of his hand, a total of 57 years, and is an important part of Chinese history. Among them, the diaries of 1915, 1916 and 1917 were lost when they were fleeing from an attack by the Northern Army in Yongtai County, Fujian Province at the end of 1918. The diary of 1915 only survived for 13 days; Chiang later wrote "A Brief History of the Six Years Before the Republic of China" to recall his personal life before 1917. History is also cited by scholars, but it is not a diary. The 1924 diary may have been lost during the Whampoa Military Academy period. Scholars on both sides of the Taiwan Strait believe that this diary is highly authentic and authoritative, subverting the past official narratives of the Chinese Kuomintang and the Chinese Communist Party.

Chiang Zhongzheng's diary was originally kept by himself. After Chiang's death, it was handed over to Chiang Ching-kuo for safekeeping; after Chiang Ching-kuo's death, it was handed over to Jiang Xiaoyong for safekeeping; after Jiang Xiaoyong's death, it was handed over to Chiang Fang Zhiyi for safekeeping. At the end of 2004, researchers at Stanford University's Hoover Institution, Guo Daijun and Ramon H. Myers, obtained Chiang Fangzhiyi's authorization and personally visited the Chiang family in Canada and the United States to bring the diaries to the Hoover Institution Library and Archives for storage.

Chiang Kai-shek's diary is "temporarily stored in the archives of the Hoover Institution of Stanford University in the United States and has been opened for researchers to refer to"[3]: 10 microphotographs, but it may be because Chiang Ching-kuo or Chiang Zhongzheng himself, or other members of the Chiang family The diaries have been omitted or blackened out, resulting in a small portion of the diaries being incomplete. At the request of the Chiang family, the Hoover Institution has also processed a small amount of content that has no privacy implications for historical research. This part of the content will be fully disclosed in 2035. [4]

On September 14, 2023, Chiang Kai-shek’s diary was transported to Taiwan from Stanford University and became a collection of the National History Museum. [5] On October 31, 2023, the National History Museum published the seven-volume "Diary of Chiang Kai-shek" from 1948 to 1954, authorized by the Republic of China History and Culture Society to publish it. Chen Yishen, director of the National History Museum, and Lu, president of the Republic of China History and Culture Society Seven volumes of General Fang were presented to Qian Fu, Chairman of the Chiang Ching-kuo International Academic Exchange Foundation, and Jiang Fang Zhiyi, Chairman of the Chiang Kai-Shek Cultural and Educational Foundation.

There are many versions of Chiang Kai-shek's diary:

The editor also added historical materials to fill in the parts not mentioned in Chiang Kai-shek's diary, but also polished Chiang's diary. It has now been published by the National History Museum.
