Ex-Red Chef Says To Open Restaurant
Here
Smiling and plump, looking every inch a chef, Kuo
Teh-lu
, former cook of the Chinese Communist “mission” in
London, said he was glad to see his own countrymen in free China.
Kuo, 47, of Shantung, spoke in heavy Shantung accent from
a written statement at a press conference at the Free China Relief
Association
this morning. He arrived here late last night from
England to join in the Jan.23 Freedom Day celebrations.
Jan. 23 is designated Freedom Day to commemorate the arrival
of 14,000 POWs in the Korean War who chose freedom in Taiwan.
Kuo called on Ku Cheng-kang, president of the FCRA, this
morning before he met with the press. Ku is arranging a trip to Central and Southern
Taiwan for Kuo before he returns to London.
Kuo said he would like to come to Taiwan again next year
and start a restaurant here.
Kuo sneaked out from the Red Chinese “mission”
in London on Feb. 26, 1960 while others were attending a “political lesson.”
He asked and was given political asylum by the British government.
He has been in London, running several Chinese
restaurants, and is quite successful. He jumped to freedom when ordered to
return to the China mainland. He said he made up his mind to quit after a
vacation on the China mainland in 1957. He saw starvation with his own eyes. He
went to London as chef for the Red Chinese “mission” in 1954.
