Biographical Note
Chang You-ling 張有齡 (Zhang Youling), 1909-2007, was born in Wuxing, Zhejiang Province. In 1934, after graduating from Tsing

taught at several universities, including the National Southwestern Associated University, Sichuan University, and Shanghai

Industry and the First Ministry of Machine Industry. In 1964, he was elected a Member of the People's Political Consultative

in the United States, Taiwan, and Japan. He died in California in 2007.
