Chiang immediately relieved Chen's chairmanship on the charge of collaboration with the Communists. After he went back to Fujian, he filed a report to Chiang Kai-shek about his visit. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Chen_Yi_(Kuomintang)

S.F. then and now: Between the Bridges of the Sun and the Moon Chiang Yee wrote that once when he was at Coit Tower, he thought of "Drinking Alone Under the Moon" by Li Po. Even though it's been nearly 40 years since the publication of Chiang Yee's book, "The Silent Traveller in San Francisco," I frequently think of his drawings and what he had to say about The City. Yee was fascinated with Joshua Norton, who reigned from 1859 to 1880 as Norton I, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico, and discussed him in the chapter, "Living Pre-Assignedly." www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/examiner/archive/2000/02/20/METRO11347.dtl   (314 words)

David Chiang Chiang had graduated to fight-instructor by the time he was spotted by Shaw Brothers leading martial art director Chang Cheh, who brought him into the studio in the winter of 1966 where he then groomed him for a couple of years. Chiang had very much an effete, romantic quality to him but instead of being ineffectual and passive as these types of characters tended to be within the frame of Chinese literature, he could go on a rampage or quietly undermine an opponent with his sneaky, mysterious ways. The meaning of his stage name and it�s origin appear to be rather obscure: Chiang he may have taken it for no other reason than it was a very recognizable name (because of Taiwan president Chiang Kai Shek) with a star quality feel to it. www.brns.com /pages4/chiang.html   (314 words)

Article: The Bridge Between Truth/Death and Power/Knowledge: Ted Chiang's "Seventy-two Letters", by Greg Beatty Chiang's main characters explore their universes on profound levels, and in each story striking images mark a place where the fundamental laws of the universe must be re-examined, and communicate this need on the metaphoric level to both the character and the reader. Chiang has indicated privately that the original source of the term "golem," meaning unformed, or amorphous, was the reason that living and formerly living tissue resists the powers of nomenclature. This makes his fiction extremely economical, and allows Chiang to focus instead on his core concerns, which are the relationships of his point of view characters to their societies and the physical universe, relationships which are always intimately interwoven and mediated by complex conceptual frames. www.strangehorizon.com /2001/20010416/ted_chiang.shtml   (3775 words)
