Now, at the age of 92, he is the oldest soldier of Doi Mae Salong. He no longer desires to be involved in politics. He has surrendered and has given up hope of finding the rest of his extended family who have all scattered and disappeared through the course of the war. Thailand. December 10, 2007. The Kuomintang or KMT, a moderate socialist democratic party was founded in 1912, by several revolutionary groups and ruled much of China from 1928 until their defeat by the Communist Party of China, in 1949. The Kuomintang forces had to flee in Taiwan and Thailand from Communist persecution. In Thailand, there descendents have settled in the area of Baan Tam-Ngob, Chaiprakarn, Doi Mae Salong, Chiang Rai Province. Today there are very few exiled Kuomintang soldiers still alive. They try to preserve as much historical evidence in their area as they can.
