This essay will discuss interactions between the two unprecedented historical figures-Hu Shih and Chiang Kai-shek from 1948 to 1962. As one of the most important Chinese leading scholars, if not the most, Hu stayed in the United States from 1949 to 1958, with a very serious eye on the political development in Taiwan, as this was the most crucial turning point in his later years or life. Chiang Kai-shek, who was very eager to use force, if necessary, to recover Mainland China to revenge his disgrace at the hands of the CCP, had ample reasons to cooperate with Hu for mutual and joint anticommunism both in China and in the world. As soon as we are now being given the opportunity to study respectively the diaries of these two preeminent figures in China, we can immediately understand the differences between them as regards their personalities and political thoughts, which resulted in their eventual parting of ways of sort. This essay lists roughly four-stages in the unfolding of their interactions: first, there was separation then cooperation between them in various areas; secondly, there was timely help rendered by Hu; thirdly, there were conflicts in acceleration; and finally, there was almost a complete break in their interactions. In the study, it was found that when both Hu and Chiang were faced with serious external stresses, they would support each other. But as history shows, their differences in the matters of political thoughts, publications law amendments, and Chiang's third term of presidency problem and the Lei Chen case did finally make their further and future interactions unprofitable or even impossible.
