Looking Back

Abstract

By the end of the war in 1945, Fu had spent almost a full three years in Soviet Russia. When he left Chongqing he was forty-seven years of age and working as Chiang’s political vice minister for foreign affairs. He had a wife, Kitty, and a teenage son and adopted daughter studying at the University of Chongqing. His concubine, Song Chongfan, was living with their daughter and relatives of the Fu family in Hong Kong. Fu’s beautiful young mistress, Fanny, with whom he was very much in love with at the time, had just given birth to their second daughter. Leaving Chongqing had meant that Kitty and her children would be alone, and Fanny and the girls would be sent south to live with her family. Eventually Fanny met someone else, and Fu would not be reunited with his young girls until 1956 in Taiwan, when they were almost grown up.
