^* I did not see Sun Li-jen again. On Taiwan, soon after Chiang Kai-shek fled the China mainland in 1949, Sun was appointed commander of the army divisions which the Generalissimo had transferred to the island before the fall of Nanking and Shanghai. In August 1955, Sun was accused of plotting a coup against Chiang. He was placed under house arrest. More than three decades later, in March 1988, the Nationalist government Control Yuan declared him exonerated and released him. The timing was significant in that the amnesty was granted after the death that year of the Generalissimo’s son, President Chiang Ching-kuo, who evidently had viewed Sun as a contender for power. Sun died two years after his release at the age of ninety-one. In 2001, the convictions of members of Sun’s staff who were accused with him in 1955 and jailed were reviewed by the government. Their trials were declared to have been conducted improperly on a basis of forged evidence. The officers were released and awarded financial compensation.
