(ECNS) -- The Kuomintang (KMT) History Museum was unveiled in Taipei on Tuesday after its seventh relocation, featuring precious collections including Mao Zedong's pay slips and Sun Yat-sen's manuscripts, Taiwan's China Times reported.
There are about three million items in the museum, including the declaration of Hsing Chung Hui, the surrender document of the Japanese government, and Chiang Kai-shek's personal belongings.
The museum also showcases collections related to Chairman Mao, former leader of the Communist Party. Among them, Mao's pay slips show that he got 120 silver dollars per month from the KMT. Another interesting item is a letter he wrote to Gan Naiguang in June 1924.
Some other interesting collections can be seen in the museum, such as Sun Yat-sen's teeth, Sun Fo's bookcase for storing the Twenty-four Histories, and Chiang Ching-kuo's favorite Fuji camera.
Ma Ying-jeou, president of the KMT, said at the unveiling ceremony that although documents and collections in the museum belong to the KMT, they should be accessible to the public.
