ABSTRACT

The war began during the summer vacation, and Liang Zhaotao's family decided that he should not flee with the Xiamen University community to the interior during the upcoming academic year. Seeking to remain closer to his family in Hong Kong, Liang Zhaotao transferred to Zhongshan University 1 and entered the History Department. Lin Huixiang personally introduced and recommended him to Yang Chengzhi, the head of the anthropology division. When Lin later left China for Southeast Asia, Liang remained as Yang's loyal student.
