  Photographs of a circular walled village in Yung-ting, Fukien, at the present time will be found in plates 131 and 132 in Andrew Boyd, Chinese Architecture and Town Planning, 1500 B.C.-A.D. 1911, Chicago, 1962.

  Chang was born in Chin-sha village, Yung-ting hsien, a rural area in southwest Fukien not far from the Kwangtung border. […] Again the record is obscure, but it suggests that he returned to southwest Fukien during the year 1925 to teach again in a primary school. This was a primary school in Feng-lang village in Shang-hang hsien, the neighboring county to Yung-ting. The latter information is drawn from a biography of Liu Yung-sheng, a fellow radical from Shang-hang hsien who later commanded local forces in Yung-ting belonging to the army of Chang Ting-ch’eng.

  But Wang Hai-yang, pursued by Fang Yao's Kwangtung provincial troops, reentered Fukien and laid siege to Yung-ting on May 15th. Wang and his fellow commanders launched a massive attack with 70,000 men on K’ang Kuo-ch’i’s army May 19th but were repulsed. Two days later, after a fierce counterattack on Chien-t'an that cost the Taipings over 6,000 casualties, the siege of Yung-ting was raised and Wang led a retreat to the northwest.
