在我为本书旅行、研究和访谈的过程,我发现蒋是个高度矛盾的人物。他是个现代的新儒家,支持女权,也能接受他太太的外甥女兼亲信公开穿着男装的女同志行径。他是个强烈的民族主义者,极端痛恨过去西方列强对中国的侵凌与羞辱,可是他却一点也不介意自己除了两个非婚生孙子之外,所有的孙子女全是欧亚混血儿。他没有太多领袖魅力,大体上也不为同侪 During my travels, studies and interviews with this book, I found Chiang a highly ambivalent figure. He is a modern Neo-Confucian, supporting feminism and accepting the lesbianism and decency of his wife’s open lesbianism in men’s wear. He is a strong nationalist who hates the past invasion and humiliation of China by the Western powers. However, he does not mind at all that all his grandchildren are Eurasians except for two non-marital grandchildren. He does not have too many charismatic leaders, and in general is not his peers
