Further details

Tchen Hiong-Fei (1911-2004), born in Shanghai, was a prominent diplomat of the Republic of China. He obtained a doctorate degree in law from Aurora University in Shanghai, as well as from the Sorbonne University in Paris. In 1943, he entered the Foreign Service, where he held several posts—most notably, Commissioner at the Commission on Treaties. After World War II, Tchen Hiong-Fei was appointed Minister in charge of the Chinese Embassy in Paris. He initiated contacts with future leaders of French-speaking African countries, contributing substantially to the establishment of diplomatic relations with these emerging African countries. He was made « Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur » under Vincent Auriol and « Commandeur de la Légion d’Honneur » under de Gaulle. From 1963 to 1971, Tchen Hiong-Fei served as Ambassador to the Kingdom of Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, receiving the « Grand Cordon de l’Ordre de Léopold ». He then served as Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs in Taiwan; and as Ambassador to Uruguay. In retirement, Tchen Hiong-Fei remained active as a counselor to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and special advisor to the President. Tchen Hiong-Fei passed away in Taipei in 2004. The present painting was directly gifted by Zhang Daqian to Tchen Hiong-Fei and has been cherished by the family ever since.
