Based primarily on the book Piloted to Serve, Professor Chung will illustrate Modern Chinese history, particularly around 1900-1950, as witnessed by its contemporaries (participants of the Chinese Revolution, the post-revolution unrest and World War II).

Professor Chung’s maternal grandfather was a participant in the 1911 revolution, and her mother served as a nurse with the Flying Tigers, the US Army, and the China National Aviation Corporation.
