Chiang Kai-shek was a political leader born in Xikou on October 31, 1887. He led the Republic of China from 1930 to 1949 on mainland China until he was overthrown by Mao Zedong. He then fled to Taiwan where he ruled from 1950 until his death in 1975, although his government was still officially called the Republic of China.
