Personal life

Chiang Hsiao-chang's husband, Yu Yang-ho, is the eldest son of Yu Ta-wei, the Minister of National Defense of the Republic of China, and his German-Italian wife. Chiang and Yu met and married while studying in the United States. In the spring of 1961, they had a son. The newborn's maternal grandfather, Chiang Ching-kuo, named his first grandson Yu Tsu-sheng using the ancient poem "克紹祖裘,聲望遠播" ("Inherit the ancestors' robes, and let their fame be widely spread").{{cite news |author=陳運璞 |date=August 18, 2011 |title=蔣經國女婿 俞揚和去年5月19日過世 |url=http://sf.worldjournal.com/view/full_story/15133710/article-%E8%94%A3%E7%B6%93%E5%9C%8B%E5%A5%B3%E5%A9%BF-%E4%BF%9E%E6%8F%9A%E5%92%8C%E5%8E%BB%E5%B9%B45%E6%9C%8819%E6%97%A5%E9%81%8E%E4%B8%96 |newspaper=World Journal |location=New York City |accessdate=November 12, 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141015051957/http://sf.worldjournal.com/view/full_story/15133710/article-%E8%94%A3%E7%B6%93%E5%9C%8B%E5%A5%B3%E5%A9%BF-%E4%BF%9E%E6%8F%9A%E5%92%8C%E5%8E%BB%E5%B9%B45%E6%9C%8819%E6%97%A5%E9%81%8E%E4%B8%96 |archivedate=2014-10-15 }}{{cite news |author=劉豔宇 |date=April 1, 2007 |title=蔣介石一家人 |url=https://zh.wenxuecity.com/book/?act=view&chapterID=5923699&bookID=60482402 }}
