FAMILY SCATTERED: Chinese Student Attends U' After War Experience Football Weekend Promises Unusual Themes for Parties By BARB HECHT On this campus there is a junior coed, Ann Chen, who has been a witness to two dreadful wars which have separated and chased her family from their native land, China. When Miss Chen was two years old, the Japanese invaded China. Their home was bombed and con- ditions were so bad that Miss Chen and her mother went to Singapore in search of refuge. At this time Mrs. Chen was ex- pecting another child. Proper food and care were impossible to obtain in China. According to the pa- to Shanghai, China. Fortunately, they were able to find Chen and the family once again found peace. Chens Again Scattered However, this peace did not last for a long time. Soon after the Chens became settled, the Chinese Communists started another war with the Chinese Nationalists and again the Chen home was scatter- ed. Once again Mrs. Chen and her daughters sought refuge in Sing- apore, while Chen stayed to help his country. Miss Chen's education was in- terrupted by the war, when there was no school. After the war she took a placement test and was put in junior high school, although she was younger than the average junior high student. Follows Parents Sentimental feelings overwhelm Miss Chen when she realizes that she is now a part of the institu- tion where her parents first met. Miss Chen's parents were born and educated in China. They came to this country to .obtain their PhD degrees at the University. While living here, the Chens met, were married, and continued their studies. Miss then was born in Ann Arbor shortly before her parents departed for China. She was born in the University Hospi- tal and was named after the city of Ann Arbor. The Chens went back to Shang- hai, where Chen taught economics and Mrs. Chen taught biology. Life was very peaceful for them until the time of the Japanese invasion. Ann Chen returned to this coun- try in order to complete her last year of high school in Iowa. She then went to Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa, for the first two years of her college education. This fall she transferred to the University, where she is taking pre-medical courses. May Return to China When she completes her educa- tion here she may return to China, depending upon the world situa- tion. Miss Chen says. that faith keeps her family going, with a constant optimistic view on life. Chen is still somewhere in Chi- na, but no one has heard from him in about six months. Yet they all have faith that someday peace will come to the world and they will be united again, always.
