I did my biography on my grandfather. He was a very successful man who was in the air force. My great grandfather was Guo-Liang Chang. He was working under china's spy system(like the CIA in USA). At the time, China was against Japan, fighting in World War 2. My grandfather was born in December 24th, 1921. He was born in Hunan State in China. His name is Jer-Shian Chang. He was an only child but he had many step-brothers and step-sisters but they always picked on him. It was very peaceful from childhood to high school. There were two parties at the time, the “Guo Ming party” and the “Moaw party”. Guo-Liang Chang(my great grandfather) was working for the Guo Ming party so my grandfather did too. After high school, he joined an Air force college in China. He received pilot training and learned how to fly a propeller fighter plane. But, the Guo Ming party was defeated so they had to transfer to Taiwan. The USA supports Taiwan so the military there has more advanced weapons and equipment. So, instead of flying a propeller plane, he learned to fly the jet plane. It was a combat jet...

Ever since we have been able to walk and talk, we have always been told to respect our elders. As we grew older, we used this old piece of advice to get respect from younger siblings and underclassmen. This quote was established under the understanding that your elders hold more experience, therefore they are wiser. They are able to give you insight into your life, and the world around you. In Rudolfo A. Anaya’s, “A Celebration of Grandfathers”, three insights that he receives from his grandfather consist of having patience, praying for rain, and the transformation of life.
His remarkable abilities as a staff officer led to quick promotion. After serving as chief of police affairs of the Kwantung army (the Japanese army in China), he became its chief of staff in 1937.

In July 1940, as minister of war, he drafted new mobilization plans that strained diplomatic relations with the United States.

The author's tone in the sentence sounds friendly and loving towards the ancianos. "These ancianos from the cultures of the Rio Grande, living side by side, sharing, growing together, they knew the rhythms and cycles of time, from the preparation of the earth in the spring to the digging of the acequias that brought the water to the dance of the harvest in the fall." The author says that the ancianos live together, which means that they treat themselves in a good manner, so they are friendly to each other. Also, it sounds like the narrator is part of their family since he knows a lot of what his ancianos are doing because he knows exactly when his ancianos start preparing for the fall. This paragraph clearly responds the question.
He was born into a peasant family that only owned three acres of land, which has been handed for several generations now. During that time, life in China was difficult for many Chinese citizens but Mao’s family was doing better than others. His father was a grain dealer and his mother was just like any mother that wanted her son to have a religious career. Unlike Gandhi, Mao didn’t have the luxury of going overseas to a university. Although Mao wasn’t able to travel out of his home province until he was twenty-five, in the year of 1918 in Peking, China; his view of the country started to change. With limited knowledge and as a librarian worker of Peking University, he was already convinced of communism. Later, he became a primary school teacher in Hunan where he edited magazines arranged trade unions, and assembled schools of his own that were politically positioned. Initially, he tried other ways to further improve China by grasping the peasant’s attention, using force, strategic plans, and most importantly

Four years ago I lost a very special person in my life from cancer. My grandpa's death had a huge impact on my life along with my other family members. My grandpa was my biggest fan and probably the Wisconsin Badger's as well. Every game I could look into the stands and he would be there. Since he has passed, before every basketball game I think of him saying "Shoot a couple 3's for me tonight". I used this as an inspiration to do my best in every play of the game. My grandpa helped me set personal goals such as making fifty three's in a season, which I accomplished my last game of my junior year.
However, as the years go on, they were treated differently than any other immigrants, Chinese were disenfranchised by a mounting head tax and later, an anti-Chinese immigration policy. They were always considered “heathens” and by 1875. During the Second World War, many debated why or why not should they go and serve in the army of a country that don’t want them. Many agreed to participate in the war and demonstrate their commitment to Canada. As a result, they made a significant contribution on the home front and on the battlefields in the victory of WWII. Without the conscription applying to the Chinese group, over 600 volunteered to service in all three branches of the armed forces. Some were even seconded to the British forces (Chinese Canadian Military Museum Society). Sergeant Roy Chan, one of four Chan brothers from Victoria to serve in the Second World War, volunteered to be part of Special Operations Executive's Operation Oblivion. Dropped behind enemy lines into Japanese held territory, he operated with the 9th Australian Division at Labuan Borneo. There, he organized and led native guerillas and Iban Head-hunters to fight back the Japanese (Veterans Affairs Canada). The Chinese community also raised 10 million to the Victory Loan Drive and participated in Red Cross and many other service works and charities (Poy). The Chinese community contributed a significant amount of manpower, and donations to lead the Allies to the victory of

Mao was born on December 26, 1893 in Shao Shan, a village in Hunan Province. 3 His family lived in a rural village where for hundreds of years the pattern of everyday life had remained largely unbroken. 4 Mao's father, the son of a "poor peasant," during Mao's childhood however, prospered and become a wealthy land owner and rice dealer. 5 Yet, the structure of Mao's family continued to mirror the rigidity of traditional Chinese society. His father, a strict disciplinarian, demanded filial piety. 6 Forced to do farm labor and study the Chinese classics, Mao was expected to be obedient. On the other hand, Mao remembers his mother was "generous and sympathetic." 7 Mao urged his mother to confront his father but Mao's mother who believed in many traditional ideas replied that "was not the Chinese way." 8 Mao in his interviews with historian Edgar Snow reports how during his childhood he tried to escape this traditional Chinese upbringing by running away from home.
China’s ruling party at the time was the Kuomintang (KMT). They had toppled the Qing emperor, but they were unable to truly unite the country. In 1923, the KMT and the CCP briefly allied to defeat the warlords in Northern China, but this was not an alliance that we meant to last; the KMT leader Chia...
