At the beginning of 1949, with the victory of our army's three major battles, the millions of Kuomintang troops on which Chiang Kai-shek depended for survival collapsed in an instant. After successive defeats, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to "resign" due to unfavorable war conditions and went to the field for the third time.
After leaving the wilderness, after handing over the power of the National Government to "Acting President" Li Zongren, he returned to his hometown in Fenghua Xikou Town, Zhejiang Province, as usual, to conduct another "reflection." January 30, 1949, was the second day of the Lunar New Year. Chiang Kai-shek, who got up early in the morning, decided to go to Xuedou Temple after breakfast to visit the Buddha and ask for a fortune teller. Chiang Kai-shek followed his mother often in and out of Buddhist temples, and he believed in the art of signing.
There was a senior monk in Xuedou Temple, known as Master Taixu and old monk of the Snow Mountain, and after meeting, the old monk immediately told Chiang Kai-shek's fortune. After some questions and answers, the old monk (the old monk of the snowy mountain) said: "The flying dragon returns to the abyss, and Tengjun is in sight." After listening to these eight words, Chiang Kai-shek's face turned pale in an instant, and he did not understand his intentions and continued to ask questions.
After saying these eight words, the old monk performed a joint palm salute to Chiang Kai-shek and smiled: "Don't worry! Congratulations to the Commander-in-Chief, every time the murder is auspicious. The disaster will pass, and the blessings are immeasurable, the long is two years, the short is one year, and the misfortune will inevitably disappear! The old monk of the Snow Mountain said that Chiang Kai-shek, who was worried and unexplained, was smiling happily and said happily: "I wish that as master said, I should rebuild the monastery and reshape the golden body." ”
