Chiang died in his seventies in China after spending over forty years away from his homeland, on a day variously recorded as October 7 or 26, 1977. His tomb is on the slopes of Lu-Shan above his home town; he is now part of the landscape and environment that influenced his painting over the years.

Famous quotes containing the word china:
“Consider the China pride and stagnant self-complacency of mankind. This generation inclines a little to congratulate itself on being the last of an illustrious line; and in Boston and London and Paris and Rome, thinking of its long descent, it speaks of its progress in art and science and literature with satisfaction.... It is the good Adam contemplating his own virtue.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
