Memories of Dad: Tsien Chung Chou (1902-2000)
Dad in New York, 1949	Dad was a quiet man, a scholar of few words. He read The New York Times passionately every day, as well as biographies, and books on history, art, poetry, and literature in Chinese, English, and French. We encouraged him to write his memoirs as many of his friends have done. But Dad refused, telling me, “I'm not interested in name dropping and tooting my own trumpet.” Dad was a man of action rather than words. In these sketches, I'm sharing with family and friends the memorable stories he shared with me and the wonderful times we had together. — Peter Y. Chou
