The late President Chiang Kai-shek augmented Dr. Sun Yat-sen's thoughts by explaining the foundation of the Three Principles of the People through "humanity", "justice" and "legality". He also pointed out that the spirit "of the people, by the people, for the people" embodied in the Three Principles of the People was consistent with the ideal of "freedom", "equality" and "compassion". In addition, the late president revealed the truth of "ethics", "democracy" and "science".
