When I was a kid, I learned from my mother that my grandfather was a high-ranking general in Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek’s army. My grandfather subsequently remarried and had five children: Zhao Liang (Alex), Yu Liang (Sally), Xiao Liang (Fred), Zhong Liang (Al) and Wen Liang (Pearl). In later years, my grandfather became the Dean of Political Science at the Huang Pu Military Academy. A very meaningful part of my grandfather’s life was his constant effort to build a bridge between the overseas Chinese and their motherland. He wrote editorials in the overseas newspapers to enlighten overseas Chinese about the situation in China and rally support for Chiang Kai-shek.
