Introduction:Chiang Kai-shek's Memoirs of Mother consists of an Inscription on Temple Stele at Chiang Jinzi Garden, Epitaph on Chiang Suan's Grave, Monument of the Centenary of Deceased Mother Madame Chiang, née Wang's Birth, article of Dedication to the Service of the Country and Remembrances of Mother, Epitaph on Chiang's Mother Madame Chiang's Grave, and Chiang's Mother Madame Chiang's Memorial Address by President Sun Yat-sen. These pieces of writings have been inscribed on steles embedded in wooden frames and stored in the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall to commemorate forever.
On his 50th birthday, October 31, 1936, Chiang Kai-shek, then Chairman of the Nationalist Government, remembered with deep gratitude toward his mother Madame Wang for her teaching that "the greatest filial piety is to dedicate oneself to the service of the country," when the country was in the chaos of internal revolts and foreign invasions. He wrote down his sentimental reflections "Dedication to the Service of the Country and Remembrances of Mother" to be an inspiration to himself. In the summer of 1964, Zhao Hengti was asked to calligraph the article into a quire of ten leaves.
