Just before and after Jiang Wanan was successfully elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee on October 1, some people said that he violated his grandfather's "last wish".
The "last wish" in the rumor is that "the descendants of the Jiang family will not be in politics."
Political circles (WeChat ID: wepolitics) discovered that Jiang Wanan's grandfather was actually targeting whether "there are any Jiang family members or soldiers behind him." The answer to this question is, "Neither can nor will it be."
It has been nearly 30 years since his death. Across the shallow strait of the bay, the flag turns green and blue, blue and green again. The appearance of Jiang Wan'an reminded some elderly people of things many years ago, such as his grandfather and his great-grandfather.
Jiang Wanan's grandfather was of course surnamed Jiang, and his name was Jiang Jingguo.
Birth and genealogy
Jiang Jingguo's surname is Jiang, but Jiang Wan'an's original surname is Zhang. Chapter
is his grandma's surname.
In 1937, Chiang Ching-kuo, who had not long returned from the Soviet Union, was sent by his father Chiang Kai-shek to Nanchang, Jiangxi, where he met his secretary Zhang Yaruo.
Jiang Jingguo and Zhang Yaruo, who have been married for 3 years, came together. Five years later, the two had twin sons—Xiaoyan and Xiaoci. For decades since then, people only know Zhang Xiaoyan and Zhang Xiaoci. The
surname is Zhang Yaruo's surname, and the first name was determined by Chiang Kai-shek. Like other children of Chiang Ching-kuo, they belong to the generation of "filial piety" .
However, when it came to Jiang Wan'an, he didn't use the character "you" to name the other fourth generations of the Jiang family, but the name "Wan'an" was chosen by Jiang Jingguo. Jiang Xiaoyan once recalled, "Mr. Jingguo thought for a few days and told me that the child was named Wan'an. He said that Xiaoyan and Xiaoci suffered a lot in Wan'an (Jiangxi Province)...Mr. Jingguo borrowed his son's This name tells me that I remember the hard times you experienced when you were a child."

said that Jiang Xiaoyan suffered hardships in Wan'an because after Zhang Yaruo's mysterious death, their brothers were taken from Guilin to Jiangxi Wan'an to seek refuge and live in peace , Since then, he has been "incognito" outside the Jiang family's door for many years. It was not until Jiang Wan'an was in high school that his father Jiang Xiaoyan officially told him that they were descendants of the Jiang family.
Of course, the descendants of the Jiang family are far more than Jiang Wanan.
Zhengzhiquan (WeChat ID: wepolitics) has noticed that according to media statistics, there are "six men and five women" in the fourth generation of the Jiang family. Most of the men are in business, and most of the women are art lovers.
Among the fourth generation of males in the Jiang family, Jiang Yousong , born in 1973, is the oldest. After studying in the United States, he has been in the United States for a long time and is a venture capitalist.
Jiang Xiaoyong's three children are all sons, namely Jiang Youbai, Jiang Youchang, and Jiang Youqing.
Zhang Xiaoci's son is Zhang Jinsong, a lawyer and a financier.
Among the fourth generation of women in the Jiang family, Jiang Xiaowen 's only daughter Jiang Youmei has lived in England for a long time; Jiang Xiaowu's daughter Jiang Youlan has settled in the United States.
Jiang Xiaoyan's two daughters, Jiang Huilan and Jiang Huiyun, are engaged in cultural and artistic careers. Zhang Xiaoci's daughter, Zhang Youju, works for the Taiwan Red Cross.
The Fourth Generation's "Revenge"
In "The Fourth Generation of the Jiang Family", Jiang Youbai and Jiang Wanan are about the same age and are the two most famous handsome men, but they have very different personalities.
Jiang Youbai, who was born in 1976, established Chengguo Design Company, hoping that people will find him no longer because of his surname Jiang, but because he is really capable. It gives people the impression of "cool, uncontrolled, angry youth who can shoot guns"; Jiang Wan'an, born in 1977, is a model student of gentleness and elegance, a well-educated and polite boy. It is obviously not too surprising to the public that young people with the image of
enter politics. But what is surprising is that Jiang Wanan did not discuss it with his father when he entered the political arena.
"My decision to run for the election was not told to my father until the day before I announced my candidacy." Jiang Wanan once disclosed to the media that his father was a little surprised at first, "He only told me later that the road was very hard. , but respect my decision.”

Jiang Wanan is running for the "legislator". He set up Facebook from the start to get closer to voters. Its personal homepage reads:
"I am Jiang Wanan, the 'legislator' must listen to public opinion and promote 'legislation' to solve people's problems. Pay attention to the six major issues of children, education, employment, entrepreneurship, technology, and the elderly. Please support me!" According to
Facebook, Jiang Wan'an has grassroots activities almost every week. "There is no special shortcut for the election, just go to the grassroots frequently." Jiang Wan'an said.
came to the park at 5 o'clock in the morning and chatted with the old people doing morning exercises. During the morning rush hour, come to the gate of the MRT station or the side of the road with many pedestrians and vehicles, shake hands and say hello to people, and state your political opinions. In the morning and afternoon, go to crowded markets, communities and other places to distribute souvenirs and greet the people. Waiting for the garbage truck to enter the community at night, he took advantage of the time when the residents came out to take out the garbage and went to visit.
In the morning, evening or weekend, he still does not forget to greet the public on Facebook: Good night, folks, today is Saturday, take a good rest. Specially present "Taijiquan Wanan from Scratch" to everyone, I wish you all a happy weekend!
△ Not everyone will accept Jiang Sidai’s hand
Jiang Wan’an’s candidacy this time was interpreted by the media as “going on behalf of his father” and “revenge for his father”. In 2011, Jiang Xiaoyan participated in the "legislator" party primary election, and lost to Luo Shulei by a narrow margin. Jiang Wanan chose the same constituency that his father lost at the time, and won the second round of primary elections, defeating Luo Shulei, who had served for eight years.
On January 16, 2016, Jiang Wanan was elected as the "legislator" of the third constituency of Taipei City. On February 1, he officially entered the "Legislative Yuan" and took office.
"Very complete conditions for entering politics"
As early as 2008, when Jiang Xiaoyan ran for the "legislator", he took Jiang Wanan to sweep the streets to canvass votes, and commented on his son to the media: "He has very complete conditions for entering politics."
△ Father and son
What should be the complete political conditions? I can't tell you about the political circle (WeChat ID: wepolitics), but its resume is quite eye-catching.
Jiang Wan'an went to the United States to study after finishing his university studies in Taiwan, where he successively obtained Penn State University Master of Laws and Doctor of Laws. He then worked as a lawyer in Silicon Valley for seven years.
In 2013, he made a decision that surprised many of his friends—deciding to move his family back to Taiwan.
"I hope my child's mother tongue is Chinese." This is Jiang Wan'an's answer. He and his wife hope that their son will receive education in Taiwan. Another reason is that he assessed that the firm has a large number of Asian clients and great potential. After discussing with his partners, he returned to Taiwan to set up a Taipei office.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, Jiang Wanan, who was originally engaged in professional technical work, turned to politics. For such a thing, it is not surprising to believe his father. As early as 2006, Jiang Xiaoyan brought Jiang Wan'an to the mainland. When asked whether Jiang Wan'an would enter politics, Jiang Xiaoyan replied: "As a member of a political family, if you are a member of a political family, if you are in politics, you have an advantage, but the child's own conditions and interests are more important. Important.”

Political Zhiquan (WeChat ID: wepolitics) I don’t know whether Jiang Xiaoyan’s “advantage” includes connections. At least at Jiang Wanan's wedding in 2009, big shots gathered.
Ma Ying-jeou, the leader of Taiwan at the time, came to the scene to witness the marriage and participated in almost the whole process; the honorary chairman of the Kuomintang, Lien Chan and his wife, Chairman Wu Boxiong, then the head of the executive department Liu Zhaoxuan, and the then head of the legislative department Wang Jinping also came to congratulate. Taipei City Deputy Mayor Jin Pucong also rarely appeared in public.
"The people have given back to the Jiang family. But now the Kuomintang leader and Jiang Xiaoyan are casual friends, and Jiang Wan'an is enough on his own." Some observers said so.
Zhou Yukou, a veteran Taiwanese media person, has known Jiang Wanan for a long time. She said in an interview with Southern Weekly: "I knew him when he was seven or eight years old. The posture of Chiang Kai-shek's descendants is very calm, excellent and attractiveStrength, and he is also very restrained and resourceful. "
" His style is quite friendly, like when he came to accept my interview, he always took a taxi when he left. Zhou Yukou said.
Some people commented: "Although Jiang Wan'an has the blood of the Jiang family, it is not easy for him to be recognized by voters with his very civilian style and professional efforts." Jiang Wanan's entry into politics represents another rise of the Chiang family in Taiwan. "
