b'Reflecting on this, I recall my mothers words, expressing that while President Chiang Kai-Shek might be a divisive figure in modern Chinese his-tory, he genuinely recognized Fathers significant contributions and fulfilled Fathers desires. For this reason, our family members should be grateful to him as his support and acknowledgement have profoundly impacted our lives in a positive and meaningful way.I recall my father bringing back a local newspaper from the U.S. that fea-tured an article about a general from the Republic of China studying there. However, regrettably, I am unable to locate that newspaper anymore.Many years later, my sister Gigi met Dr. Chen and his wife, who were also studying at Indiana University during the same time as Father. They talked about how Father was very popular among the group of young for-eign students. They admired him for being such a high-ranking general with such a strong thirst for knowledge.Sisters Wedding and the Fun of Driving in the USIn 1965, my eldest sister, Janie, got married in the United States. Father was there to give her away to Terry Liu, who was one of Fathers students that relocated with the Army Ordnance School from China to Taiwan. Terry and Father took turns driving the three of them on a sightseeing trip after the wedding. During that time, there were no energy crises or concerns about pollu-tion, and the population and number of vehicles were considerably smaller. Everyone preferred driving large American-made cars due to their smoother and more comfortable rides. It was quite common to exceed 80 miles per hour while driving on the freeway.When my father reminisced about that trip later on, he didnt speak much about the specific places they visited. However, he enthusiastically de-scribed the joy of driving in the United States. I believed that, compared to driving a jeep on the rugged Burma Road or an armored vehicle on the bat-tlefield, the experience of driving a comfortable American sedan on a wide and smooth US highway left him with a truly delightful memory.43'
