Taipei - Thousands of Taiwanese streamed to the mausoleum of late Nationalist Party or Kuomintang (KMT) leader Chiang Kai-shek, reopened Saturday after being shut down by the former government.

He was among a number of emotional elderly visitors who had followed the Chiang Kai-shek troops to Taiwan in 1949.
