She was an ultra liberal and unfortunately had a long history of depression.
This news saddens me greatly. Somehow it does not surprise me.
Yeah, if you read the rest of the article, it's pretty clear that this was a depression-induced suicide.
Very sad. I don't care how liberal she was; she did a service by bringing that history to the front.
I had an uncle and his whole family held by the Japanese in Manila for over three years. I don't feel that Ms. Chang did any exaggerating with regards to the Japanese.
Why do people say she was an *ultra* liberal? Yeah, she stook up for Chinese American causes, but I never read anything that suggested she was a Michael Moore type of person. No one who praised Anne Applebaum's "Gulag" could possibly be an ultra leftist, considering the denial of Communist atrocities was a prerequisite to the "Jean Paul Sartre" mindset.
