In 1936, when Chiang was kidnaped by a group of Nationalist officers who wanted to stop the anti-Communist campaign and unite against the Japanese invaders, he refused to bow. "If you want to shoot me," he said, "do so at once." He was finally released at the behest of a young Communist, Chou Enlai...
