Sun Liren was deprived of military power and placed under house arrest, which greatly damaged the image of the Kuomintang and Chiang's father and son. After his death, Sun himself and his relatives and friends put forward strong demands for "rehabilitation" and "rehabilitation" to the Kuomintang authorities, which had a considerable impact on the political situation in Taiwan Province. Under the pressure of public opinion, the Taiwan Province authorities have actually given Sun some freedom and allowed him to make public appearances. Sun was born in 1900 and died in 1990. He is an Anhui native, graduated from Tsinghua University, studied in the United States, and served in the Kuomintang army for a long time.
Sun Liren, a native of Shucheng, Anhui Province, graduated from Tsinghua University and was sent to Purdue University, Indiana, USA, with a bachelor's degree in engineering. Later, he entered the Virginia Military School to study military affairs, and was successively in the same class as General Marshall of the United States. After returning to China, he successively served as deputy commander of the army, navy and air force command, head of the special corps of the tax police general regiment, commander of the 38 th division, commander of the new army and commander of the Changchun garrison. Participated in the "August 13th" Shanghai Anti-Japanese War; He led an expedition to Myanmar, rescued the besieged British army in the Battle of yenangyaung on the Yunnan-Myanmar border, and made great achievements in the counterattack against northern Myanmar. He is known as "Rommel of the East" and won the Royal Medal of England. 1947 Taiwan Province Province was transferred to the training commander to be responsible for the training of new recruits. 1in July, 949, he served as deputy director of the office of the southeast military commander and defense commander of Taiwan Province province. 1March 950, promoted to "Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Commander-in-Chief of Security". 195 1 was promoted to the second general of the army.
Although Sun Liren's official career is relatively smooth, because he is an Englishman, he also suffers from jealousy. He is not a member of the Huangpu Department, and has many contradictions with Zhou Zhirou, the chief of staff, Gui Yongqing, the commander-in-chief of the navy and Wang Shuming, the commander-in-chief of the air force, so he can't get the trust of Chiang's father and son. He advocated western military thoughts, resisted the Kuomintang's methods of running the army, opposed Jiang Jingguo's establishment of a "political work system" in the army, and opposed the strengthening of spy rule; He also refuted Chiang Kai-shek's statement of "attacking the mainland" and advocated "doing a good job in Taiwan Province Province first". These led to an increase in the contradiction between him and Jiang and his son. At the beginning of Chiang Kai-shek's resignation, he used Sun Liren to seek American assistance. After the situation eased, Sun's role was obviously weakened and he was in the position of "the president of the army", which greatly hindered the expansion of his power. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek intends to recall Sun Liren when his two terms of office expire in 1954. After Sun Liren noticed this, he wanted to establish his own sphere of influence, but the effect was not obvious. 1In June, 954, Sun Liren was dismissed as "Commander-in-Chief of the Army" and transferred to "Chief of Staff of the Army of the Presidential Palace". 1In June, 955, Guo and Jiang Yunjin, the old men widely rumored in Taiwan Province Province, had planned to launch a "remonstrance" during Chiang Kai-shek's military parade. The Kuomintang secret service system acted immediately and arrested Guo et al. 103 officers and men, who were also interrogated. On August 3rd, Sun Liren signed a letter of resignation to Chiang Kai-shek. On August 2 1 day, Chiang Kai-shek ordered Sun Liren to be dismissed as "Army Chief of Staff" and organized personnel to investigate the case of "Military remonstrance". Two months later, the "investigation committee" made a conclusion, accusing Guo Wei, a subordinate of Sun, of "working in the Communist Party of China (CPC)" and using Sun's relationship to contact military officers to prepare for a "protest". Sun failed to "report" in time and "take appropriate preventive measures" and "should be responsible". Chiang Kai-shek finally sent Sun Liren to Taichung for house arrest on charges of "conniving at his subordinates' armed treason and harboring crimes of espionage". This is the "Sun Liren Incident", also known as the "Sun Liren mutiny". It was not until May 1988 that Sun Li was released from house arrest.
Both Sun Liren and Wu Guozhen in the Wu Guozhen incident were victims of the power struggle within the Kuomintang and the dictatorship established by Chiang Kai-shek.
