Seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Yiwei year

Fine, cold

This morning was a day off for Zhu Guang, therefore I was in the restaurant for the whole day.

L’information reported that Chiang Ching-kuo had been to Rangoon and negotiated with the CCP representatives, and according to what a former American [missing word] has said, Taiwan would become independent during the lifetime of Chiang Kai-shek. This news story is absolutely unbelievable.

I have been sneezing seriously today and I feel extremely ill.
