Ma Ying-jeou's background and political achievements
Successful leaders often have unique strengths when it comes to politics. They usually come from prominent family backgrounds and enjoy abundant resources and academic conditions.
This background has undoubtedly had a positive impact on their success on their political path. Taking Tsai Ing-wen as an example, her family has a deep Hakka background in Fenggang, Fangshan Township, her father Tsai Jiesheng is a large landowner in Taipei City, and the family's property includes the "Lema Hotel", the predecessor of the Haibawang Restaurant on Zhongshan North Road.
Such a privileged living environment has undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for her success.
Ma Ying-jeou, the former leader of Taiwan, came from a prominent family. He was born on July 13, 1950 in Hengshan County, Hunan Province. His mother, Qin Houxiu, was born on November 19, 1922 and died on May 2, 2014, and studied in Zhounan Middle School in Hunan Province.
And Qin Houxiu's father, Qin Zhuo, is the director of the Confidential Division of the Kuomintang 11th Group Army.
Ma Ying-jeou's father, Ma Heling, studied at Yueyun Middle School in Hunan and was admitted to ** University, and was full of patriotic enthusiasm when he was young. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Ma Heling resolutely joined the Kuomintang army, and because of his shrewdness and patriotism, he was appreciated by Chiang Kai-shek and became Chiang Kai-shek's bodyguard.
Ma Heling was appreciated by Chiang Ching-kuo for his loyalty and outstanding performance, and later held important positions in the "National Salvation Regiment" personally established by Chiang Ching-kuo. The full name of this organization is the "Chinese Youth National Salvation Regiment," which aims to organize students from various schools in Taiwan to form revolutionary groups and cultivate their feelings for national salvation through military combat training during the summer vacation.
Chiang Ching-kuo's attention to Ma Heling, and the fact that he was appreciated one after another, are enough to prove that he is a talented talent. Ma Heling has always been a Kuomintang figure loyal to the motherland, and even in his later years, he resolutely opposed ** and took practical actions to promote cross-strait exchanges.
In 2004, in order to oppose the "referendum" and "**" to the Ma people on the island of Taiwan, he issued a letter of appeal to the people surnamed Ma on the island of Taiwan, calling on them to vote together to elect a leader who is conducive to Taiwan's peace and stability.
Therefore, Ma Ying-jeou was also deeply influenced by his father, and opposed from the bottom of his heart that "during his administration, ** basically normalized exchanges and communication, avoiding the current tense situation."
Please see the efforts made by Ma Ying-jeou during his administration to promote ***: first, the comprehensive, direct and two-way "three links" between the two sides of the strait have finally been realized 30 years after the mainland's initiative, and the long-awaited desire of compatriots on both sides of the strait to visit relatives has been realized, and at the same time, Taiwan has also opened up travel to Taiwan for mainland residents; Second, the financial regulatory authorities on both sides of the strait signed a series of agreements and memoranda of understanding in 2009, so that cross-strait financial exchanges and cooperation can be carried out normally. Finally, the two sides of the strait have established a liaison and communication mechanism between the departments in charge of affairs, and this has been effectively operated.
Ma Ying-jeou has made efforts and practical actions on the road of promoting normalization, leaving a good reputation for the history of evolution.
