毕业于黄埔一期的胡宗南,是蒋介石最信任的军事将领之一。到1947年指挥进攻占领延安时,胡宗南已成为手握几十万重兵、指挥几个兵团的二级上将与名震一时的“西北王”。而在国共几十年的争斗中,胡宗南也成为与中共交手最多的一个对手。随着国民政府的冰山崩塌,他也迅速从顶峰上跌落下来,从陕北一直退到西昌,几十万军队土崩瓦解,最终成了国民党兵败大陆的象征性人物。到了台湾后的胡宗南成了边缘人物,直至抑郁而终。胡宗南的次子胡为善是台湾中原大学副校长,年幼时他陪着父亲度过了那一段特殊的时光。 Hu Tsung-nan, a graduate of Whampoa I, is one of Chiang Kai-shek’s most trusted military generals. When commanding and directing the occupation of Yan’an in 1947, Hu Zongnan became the “Northwest King”, a lieutenant general who commands hundreds of thousands of troops and commands several corps. During the decades of the Kuomintang-Communist war, Hu Tsung-nan became one of the most opponents of the Chinese communists. With the collapse of the ice sheets of the Kuomintang government, he also quickly plummeted from the summit, and retreated to Xichang from northern Shaanxi. Hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed and eventually became the symbolic figure in the Kuomintang defeat. After arriving in Taiwan, Hu Tsung-nan became marginalized until his depression finally ended. Hu Zongnan’s second son, Hu Wei Shan, is the vice president of Chung Yuan Christian University in Taiwan. When he was young, he spent his special time with his father.
