On this day, 41 years ago, March 21, 1984 (February 19, 1984, the lunar calendar), Chiang Ching-kuo and Lee Teng-hui became the new president and vice president of Taiwan. On March 21, 1984, Chiang Ching-kuo and Lee Teng-hui were elected as Taiwan's seventh "President" and "Vice President" at the "Seventh Session of the First National Assembly" this day and the next day. They will take office on May 20 for a six-year term. Chiang Ching-kuo was elected Taiwan's sixth "president" in 1978 after the death of his father Chiang Kai-shek. He is 75 years old and is ill due to old age. Last year, it was rumored in Taiwan and overseas that he would no longer run for "president". However, the decision was made not long ago at the Second Plenary Session of the 12th Central Committee of the Kuomintang that he would continue to serve as the "president" candidate. Lee Teng-hui, who served as the "Vice President" for the first time, is a native of Taipei, Taiwan. He is 61 years old and graduated from the Department of Agricultural Economics at National Taiwan University. He has gone to the United States twice to further study and obtained a doctorate in agricultural economics. He served as mayor of Taipei. Before serving as "Vice President" this time, he served as Chairman of the Taiwan Province Government.
