Chinese tradition and culture is infectious. Yet, the CCP and some members try to restrict the very meaning of being Chinese here. Does CCP, a government merely half a century old, have any right to sole monopoly on something that is thousands of years old? Can CCP pervert the meaning of being a patriot, so as to narrowly define it to mean a person who believes and thinks what he is ordered to, without any due consideration?
Let's be clear -- CCP is not China. Chinese is something that is deep. A true Chinese could never have done the crime of the Cultural Revolution. CCP was a traitor to Chinese civilization for Cultural Revolution.
But the traitors within CCP, the ones who were wed more to their dedication of Class Struggle than to China, more to Communism than to China were defeated. Deng Xiaoping, the greatest Chinese Leader of the 20th century, reverted blind ideology, and brought about a complete transformation. His successors largely kept abreast.
Today I will tell you the story of a Chinese patriot.
Leroy L. Chang's family was from Jiutai County, Jilin province in Northeastern China (Manchuria). After Manchuria was occupied by Imperial Japan in 1931, his family escaped to inland China and Chang was born on 20 January 1936 in Kaifeng, Henan province.[1][2] His father was Zhang Shenfu (张莘夫), a well-known geologist and Republic of China official[1] who was assassinated by the Communists in 1946.[3]
After moving to Taiwan, Chang studied electrical engineering at National Taiwan University, graduating in 1957.[4]He obtained his master's degree in 1961 at the University of South Carolina.[5] His doctorate (PhD) in solid-state electronics and electrical engineering was awarded by Stanford University in 1963.

Struggling in the United States with everything, he never forgot what he truly was -- a Chinese. Nothing could have changed that simple fact. He forced her daughter to attend weekend Chinese classes, celebrated Lunar New Year with gusto, and pledged to return to China once the opportunity came in.
He never particularly trusted the Communists. Especially after what they had done to his country in the 60s. But was still willing to give them a chance after the era of Deng.
He kept his contact with the Chinese academic community, got the rare distinction of being a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Finally, he came to Hong Kong, to build the Chinese academic community.
I will keep posting the stories of many other Chinese nationalists.

I would never have come to Hong Kong if it was going to remain just a British colony. We came because of 1997.
