What are your impressions of Lee Teng-hui?
I'm aware that he is the third president of Taiwan and he has passed away at the 30th of July this year. I don't know too much about him as I'm not Taiwanese but it seems that he is held quite highly by Taiwanese people, as seen from my Taiwanese friends. Even those who I know who support the DPP also look up to him, as he was said to be the person who brought further prosperity to Taiwan and led to much needed political reforms.
So what are the typical impressions of Lee Teng-hui and what are some interesting things that I should know about him? Like I said, I don't know too much about the guy so pls feel free to educate me more about him and correct me if I said anything that is false.
