His family members were confidants of Chairman Mao, the founder of the People's Republic of China, as well as China's chief architects and advisors in New China's infancy up through the present day.
Dr. Fu spent a quarter Century in the United States as an advisor to International Law Enforcement agencies on Asian matters, including both Taiwan and China. The lure of homeland and the prospects for China finally brought Fu Lo Jen back to China in the early 1980's. China was still just awakening from years of early development and seclusion. Thus, Dr. Fu Lo Jen was at and assisted in the rebirth of China just as he was at the birth of Nationalist China's Taiwan.
Today, Dr. Fu lives in Dalian, China with his new wife and two year old daughter. He is regarded in China as a wise elder statesman who uniquely, has life experiences and strong irreplaceable contacts in China and in the United States.
