Rob Cheng's Blog

My grandfather was an accomplished writer in addition to a public speaker. Many of his publications were considered leading edge in the 60’s, and consulted with Richard Nixon when he decided to create a detente between the US and China. I remember as a child reading the World Book encyclopedia, and seeing with pride my grandfather’s name for the articles for Taiwan and China.

As I was looking through my grandfather’s things after his death, I found a floppy disk, and it had a lot of information. One of them is a bibliography of all of his publications.

  1. Hi,

    I noticed you occasionally write and share some posts about Rio de Janeiro.

    We just put together an infographic about the upcoming Summer Games 2016 that will be held in Rio deJaneiro, Brazil.

    It would probably entertain your audience and be a good fit for your site.

    Let me know if you want to check it out, I’ll be happy to share it. 🙂

    Cheers,

    Mary

  2. Hi Rob,

    Thank you so much for kindly sharing the publication list of Dr. Chen. I’m a Chinese PhD student studying in Canada and writing my dissertation on the history of education in communist China, and among my hundreds of readings Dr. Chen’s stand out as the most informative and captivating. I was just reading another memoir written in Chinese about him before coming across yours:

    I wish Dr. Chen had a peaceful retirement life.

    Best,
    Zhipeng
