Answer to puzzle 5089

Person: Chiang Kai-Shek

Chiang Kai-Shek was the leader of KMT who lead the Northern Expedition to unite China. Eventually there was a civil war between the Nationalists lead by Chiang Kai-Shek and the communists ((CCP) lead by Mao Zedong. CKS moved to Taiwan and became the leader of Taiwan forming Republic of China. Mao Zedong consolidated his power in China and formed a communist government People's Republic of China in mainland China. He led the second Sino-Japanese War during the second world war.

In Taiwan, he formed his government and ruled until his death in 1975. He was also responsible for "White Terror" - killing communists and dissidents.

In the west and in Soviet Union, he was known as the "Red General".

Clues:

Image 4: Verbal Clue for "KMT"

Chiang Kai-Shek has his memorial in Taipei Taiwan. Some pictures from my trip to his memorial. The guards stand still for one hour and then there is a change of guard. The change of guard ceremony is worth watching.
