The second photo features, from left to right, Chiang Kai-shek, Madame Chiang, Chiang Kai-shek again (well, it is the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall) - this time looking tanned - and Mao Zedong. Mao is, of course, the guy who pushed Chiang out of China and onto Taiwan.
Two of Taiwan's six presidents are missing. Lee Teng-hui, president 1988-2000, and Chen Shui-bian, the man who succeeded him and held office until 2008. Chen isn't a popular figure these days (he's in jail after being convicted of money laundering) but why on Earth isn't Lee represented?
