    From: April 2011, Shao Ming-Huang (邵銘煌), 快刀與黑貓：蔣中正反攻大陸的想望, in 蔣中正日記與民國史研究 Vol. 2, p. 590, →ISBN →OCLC
    Tā biǎozhāng Chén Huái shì yīge shíjiàn xìnxīn zhēnyì de gémìng xìntú, bìngjǔ “shèngjīng” jiàoyì chǎnmíng xìnxīn de zhòngyàoxìng. Tā shuō: xìnxīn shǐ Móxī yǒu yǒngqì dàilǐng Yǐsèliè rénmín chū Āijí, dù Hónghǎi, tuōlí qiángquán kòngzhì; xìnxīn shǐ Yuēshūyà yǒu yǒngqì jìnrù Jiānán, xiāomiè dírén, jiànshè guójiā. Jìn'ér shēnyán: “Xìnxīn yě néng shǐ wǒmen xiàng chuānyuè jīngshén shàng de Yuēdàn Hé yīyàng, chuānyuè Táiwān Hǎixiá, ér dàodá bǐ'àn, huí fǎn dàlù, zhànshèng èmó, jiějiù dàlù tóngbāo, chóngjiàn Zhōnghuá Mínguó.” [Pinyin]
    He [Chiang Kai-shek] praised Chen Huai as a disciple of revolution who practiced the true meaning of faith, and then brought up Biblical teaching explaining the importance of faith. He said that faith allowed Moses to have the courage to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt, cross the Red Sea and free themselves from the control of the powerful; faith allowed Joshua the courage to enter Canaan, wipe out the enemy and establish the nation. By extension, he said, "Faith can also allow us, like crossing the River Jordan in spirit, to cross the Taiwan Strait, reach the opposite shore, return to the mainland, have victory in battle over the demons, rescue the compatriots on the mainland and reestablish the Republic of China."
