走进歷史的长河裡

台北圆山饭店是一部写满歷史的巨型建筑。 自1949 年蒋介石退居台湾以来实施卧薪嚐胆 ，毋忘在莒及厉精图治之政策， 在这个孤岛上， 因韩战之爆发， 中华民国能予烟火继续， 因而才创造出台湾奇蹟， 為全球写下了许多傲世之成绩。

圆山饭店二楼之长廊上 ，至今尚有许多珍贵的歷史照片， 其中包括艾森豪访问台湾， 伊朗国王、 泰国国王、 沙地国王先后下蹋之套房，台美断交谈判场景，巨星依莉沙白来访， 无数歷史之图片说明当年在圆山饭店之辉煌过去。

细数这些人物已经埋在歷史之长河中，， 试想如果不是当年蒋总统誓死保卫台湾 我们大家共同享受七十多年之和平光景， 我们共同之歷史必将改写。

在古色古香的长廊上， 我再次走过并扶着红色之围栏， 远眺台北101 大楼， 深深地吸了口气， 还是非常甜美的。

An Historical Memory At The Taipei Grand Hotel 

Since 1949, after Chiang's Nationalist Government moved to Taiwan, many government actions involved fighting for survival, especially in the case of the Korean war which was the main reason the U.S. reconsidered to protect Taiwan.

Over the last seventy years, many heads of state, including U.S. President Eisenhower, the kings of Iran and Thailand and even movie star Elizabeth Taylor and many other heads of state, even during such a difficult time, still there were many diplomatic activities that occurred on the small island.

In our lifetime we really have  appreciated President Chiang's strong leadership to be able to spend more than seventy years in peace.

Today once again, we spend time and stand on the wall of history 

with a very deep and touching feeling.
