Additional material

[edit]

I became interested in this person when I visited a memorial in his honor in Shanghu Lake Scenic Area, a park in Changshu, Suzhou, Jiangsu, with a family member. I'll share some notes with material that I couldn't add to the article because I couldn't find a citable online source to corroborate it. Perhaps it will be useful for expanding the article in the future.

The house at Shanghu Lake is the house he grew up in, though it sounded like it was physically moved from elsewhere in Changshu. The signs were all in Chinese and I couldn't read them, but here's what I remember:

  • He was born in the house, but the house was moved from elsewhere in Changshu
  • He was an undergraduate at some college in Minnesota, then earned a master's degree at Harvard
  • He was part of some progressive group that also included Mao Zedong
  • He was part of a group that evacuated the universities from Beijing during the Japanese invasion; he eventually went to Sichuan
  • He was a KMT member and attended the founding of the United Nations in 1945 in San Francisco as a ROC representative
  • Later he moved to Taiwan with the KMT
  • He served in government positions there, then moved to the US

I was able to add some but not all of this to the article based on online sources I was able to find. A Chinese speaker will surely be able to find more.

From snippets:

  • Wife was named Lu Pei-yu, born 1904
  • Pu was educated at Tsinghua, then got a BA at Hamline in 1923 and an MA at Harvard in 1925
