Originally known as a guohua (traditionalist) painter, by the 1960s he was also renowned as a modern impressionist and expressionist painter. Chang was born in 1899 in Sichuan Province to a financially struggling but artistic family. He started painting at the age of 9. And at the age of 12, Chang earned his first commission for painting a new set of divining cards for a traveling fortune-teller.  In 1924 Chang had his first art show in Shanghai. Due to the political climate of China in 1949, he left the country and resided in Mendoza, Argentina, São Paulo and Mogi das Cruzes, Brazil, and then to Carmel, California, before settling in Taipei, Taiwan in 1978. A meeting between Chang and Picasso in Nice, France in 1956 was viewed as a summit between the preeminent masters of Eastern and Western art. Chang passed away on April 2, 1983, due to failed heart condition. In 2011, Chang was the top-selling artist in the world at auction, total sales of his works topped US$782.4 million for that year.

1885年4月4日 中法簽訂《停戰條件》- 中法戰爭中,中國軍隊的鎮南關-諒山大捷,使中國在軍事上、外交上都處於有利地位。但李鴻章等人卻把它當作乞和的資本。他主張“乘勝即收”,建議清政府立 即與法國締結和約。這種態度,正符合當時處境困難的法國政府的意願。英、美、俄等國都害怕戰爭繼續下去會影響它們在中國的利益,特別是中國抗法鬥爭的勝利 會鼓舞人民的反帝鬥志,危及半殖民地統治秩序。所以紛紛打著“調解”幌子壓迫清政府儘快向法妥協。於是慈禧太后詔令停戰,中法戰爭結束。此令傳到前線,清軍愛國將士們“拔劍斫地,恨恨連聲”。馮子材給兩廣總督張之洞一個電報,請他上折要求“誅議和之人”。全國紛紛通電反對和譴責清政府與法國侵略者議和。人們把清政府給馮子材的退兵命令,比作南宋秦檜命令岳飛從朱仙鎮退兵的金牌詔,悲憤賦詩:“十二金牌事,於今復見之。黃龍將痛飲,花目忽生期。戰骨壘壘在,秋風颯颯吹。莫論交趾役,故壘有餘悲。” The Sino–French War, also known as the Tonkin War, was a conflict fought from August 1884 through April 1885, to decide whether France would supplant China's control of Tonkin (northern Vietnam). Although the Chinese armies performed better than in other nineteenth-century foreign wars and the war ended with French defeat on land, the Qing government decided to end the conflict and start treaty process, against the wills of army and the general public. As the result, French gained most of the aims they wanted in the Treaty of Tientsin.
