(book review on Ying-Ying Chang, The Woman Who Could not Forget; Iris Chang before and beyond The Rape of Nanking. Pegasus, 2011)

Quote: "a biographical memoir written by her mother, Ying-Ying Chang * * * Her [Ying-Ying's] family emigrated to Taiwan, and Ying-Ying eventually made her way to America and married a fellow Harvard Ph.D. student, Shau-Jin

(c) Iris Chang
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_Chang
(Iris Shun-Ru Chang 張純如; 1968-2004; born in Princeton, New Jersey but raised in Champaign-Urbana; earned a bachelor's degree in journalism at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1989; married Bretton Lee Douglas, whom she had met in college. The couple had one son, Christopher, who was 2 years old at the time of her death; lived in San Jose, California in the final years of her life; an atheist)

Judging from the spelling of her name "Shun-Ru," I'd venture that her parents--at least one--is Cantonese.
(d) brief reactive psychosis
