Introduction:This brass newspaper rack, in a very common style, was once placed in Chiang Kai-shek's office.
Chiang Kai-shek attached great importance to reading newspapers. In early stage, he read each daily news and evening news reported by mainstream media. Later, the habit was arranged to allow his secretary to browse through the news in early morning and read the news to him at breakfast; however, Chiang Kai-shek still read newspapers by himself afternoons and kept the habit until he got diseases of the eye in old age and started to have the attendants read the news to him.
