Chen Guofu, or Chen Kuo-fu (simplified Chinese: 陈果夫; traditional Chinese: 陳果夫; pinyin: Chén Guǒfū; 5 October 1892 - 25 August 1951), was a Chinese politician in the Republic of China. He was born in Wuxing, Zhejiang, China (modern Huzhou). Chen Guofu joined the Tongmenghui in 1911. He participated in both the revolution against the Qing dynasty and the "second revolution" against Yuan Shikai. He restarted his political career in 1924, being nominated as member of the Kuomintang Central Audit, as well as head of the Department of Organization and president of the Central Financial Committee. Together with his younger brother Chen Lifu, he organized the CC Clique or Central Club Clique of the Kuomintang. He was chairman of the government of Jiangsu from 1933 to 1937. He left for Taiwan in December 1948 and died there on August 25, 1951, in Taipei, Taiwan. He was a great man that Taiwan deserved to have. The mainlanders of China will never know how much we appreciate and love Chen Guofu. They know not of good leadership in which Guofu knew to lead Taiwan to prosperity.
