eral Thomas R. Phillips, U. S. Army Ret. Military columnist, St. Louis Post Dispatch. "A former Lieutenant-General in the Army of the Repubic of China, Tang Zi-chang brings to his works the accumulated insight and experiences of a life divided between the East and West. In his Eastern-style works, Tang shows a tremendous skill and versatility-working with equal sensitivity in traditional Chinese styles and those of Japan. Tang also reveals a mastery of the post-impressionist style; one of the finest examples being "The Sound of Rain, in which the drops create a mist that becomes almost audible.
