Thinking Thinking: About My Life

By Yu Nien Tze Chang

"Thinking Thinking," -- an unusual name for a young girl...Born during a turbulent time in China, she lived through the years of the Sino-Japanese wars, World War II, and the civil war between the Chinese Nationalists and the Communists, leaving China for India just prior to the Communist takeover of the country. Her father was an early revolutionary in the waning days of the Qing Dynasty, a leader in the founding of the Republic of China, and also a prominent Chinese calligrapher, educator, founder of a university, and journalist, whose legacy is claimed by both China and Taiwan and is highly respected by both. Her husband was one of the first people to translate major Tibetan Buddhist works into English and to introduce Buddhism to Western readers. Her story of life in China, then India and her subsequent immigration to the United States, and the struggle for economic survival in a foreign land are inspirational. This is my mother's story, a thread starting in China and spanning the globe and the turn of the century, reaching to our modern era, and somewhat improbably, to Clearwater, Florida.
