On 20 January 1982, President Chiang received his "11 old friends" and their families. These ordinary folk presented him with a huge carved bas-relief panel. In the photograph he is squatting down by the panel. This was distressing to watch for the bodyguards close by Chiang, for they knew he no longer had much strength in his legs.
七十一年一月二十日，經國先生接見了他在民間的十一位老朋友，老朋友們送總統一幅半人高的淺浮雕畫，照片裡，經國先生扶著畫蹲了下來，這個動作讓接近的侍衛官看得心疼，當時，經國先生兩腿已經力不從心。
