Life

Chang was a native of Xiamen, born on 30 April 1936 to parents Wang Hui-fen and Chang Ch’ing-chen.[1][2] Due to the Chinese Civil War, he and his family moved to Chongqing, then Nanjing, before settling in Taiwan in 1949.[1][2] He graduated from National Taiwan University in 1957,[3] having studied under Yin Haiguang.[1] Chang completed a doctorate at Harvard University in 1966,[3][4] advised by Benjamin I. Schwartz and Yang Lien-sheng.[1]

Chang began his teaching career at Louisiana State University in 1964,[1] then moved to Ohio State University in 1968,[3][4] and joined the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology faculty in 1998,[3] eventually retiring in 2004,[1] and relocating to Reston, Virginia, the following year.[5] Chang was elected an academician of Academia Sinica in 1992,[3] and affiliated with the Academia Sinica's Institute of History and Philology as a corresponding research fellow.[6] In 2022, Chang donated his papers and books to Taiwan's National Central Library.[7]

Chang Hao was married to Liao Jung-jung from 1964 to her death in 2019, of Alzheimer's disease.[2][5] In later life, Chang was also diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and moved to California to be nearer to one of his daughters.[2] Chang died in Albany, California, aged 85, on 21 April 2022.[1][2][8]
