'''Winston Hsiao-tzu Chang''' ({{lang-zh|c=章孝慈|p=Zhāng Xiàocí}}; 1 March 1942 – 24 February 1996) was a Taiwanese legal scholar who served as the president of [Soochow University](/source/Soochow_University_(Taiwan)) in [Taipei](/source/Taipei).

==Early life and education==
He and his identical twin brother, [John Chang](/source/John_Chiang_(Taiwan)), were born the sons of [Chiang Ching-kuo](/source/Chiang_Ching-kuo) and [Chang Ya-juo](/source/Chang_Ya-juo) maybe at what is now Second People's Hospital in [Guilin](/source/Guilin).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gleyy.com/newsview.asp?id=924 |title=еڶ ҽԺ |website=www.gleyy.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171005120708/http://www.gleyy.com/newsview.asp?id=924 |archive-date=2017-10-05}}</ref> As they were born out of wedlock, they took their mother's surname (although both were given the [generation name](/source/generation_name) of ''Hsiao'' shared by all of Chiang Ching-kuo's children, (legitimate or otherwise). Chang Ya-juo died when the brothers were infants in August 1942, and they were raised by Chang Ya-juo's younger brother, Chang Hau-juo (章浩若) and his wife Chi Chen (紀琛). Their uncle and aunt were listed as their parents on official documents until December 2002.

The brothers fled to [Hsinchu](/source/Hsinchu), [Taiwan](/source/Taiwan), in 1949 and both studied law at [Soochow University](/source/Soochow_University_(Taiwan)), where Winston graduated with a bachelor's degree in Chinese language and literature and received his [Bachelor of Laws](/source/Bachelor_of_Laws) (LL.B.) in 1971. He then completed graduate studies in the United States at [Southern Methodist University](/source/Southern_Methodist_University), where he earned a [Master of Arts](/source/Master_of_Arts) (M.A.) in [political science](/source/political_science) in 1974, and at [Tulane University](/source/Tulane_University). Chang earned his [Master of Laws](/source/Master_of_Laws) (LL.B.) degree in 1975 and his [Juris Doctor](/source/Juris_Doctor) (J.D.) in 1978 from the [Tulane University Law School](/source/Tulane_University_Law_School).

== Career ==
After returning to Taiwan, he was mostly involved in teaching and research. He later became the chairman of the [Soochow University College of Law](/source/Soochow_University_College_of_Law) as well as the president in 1992.

On 20 August 1993, Chang visited his mother's tomb in Guilin and attended a cross-straits Buddhist conference. In late 1994, Chang suffered a stroke (eventually causing his death) in [Beijing](/source/Beijing) and entered into a [coma](/source/coma). He was flown back to Taiwan via [Hong Kong](/source/Hong_Kong) in his comatose condition. Despite the fact that he never recovered from the coma, he continued to officially serve as president on medical leave until his death two years later.

With Chao Chung-te (趙申德), Chang had a son, Ching-sung (勁松), and a daughter, Yu-chu (友菊).
