Taiwanese learn to be patient under Generalissimo Chinag Kai-shek.
I am Cantonese and all people in Taiwan surrounding me knew that. But they trusted me, so they often (but not always speak their mind--but not too much). They said time was on their side, for the generalissimo and his clique would die in no time. They had no weapons, so if they rose up, they would be the one who got killed. So they were all waiting. (Some of them also said they would kill all mainlanders upon gaining power. I was not considered one, however. Anyway, it was not carried out.)
