Ho Feng-Shan - After The War

After The War

Ho later served as the Republic of China (ROC)'s ambassador to other countries, including Egypt, Mexico, Bolivia, and Colombia. After his retirement in 1973, Ho settled in San Francisco in the United States, where he wrote his memoirs, 40 Years of My Diplomatic Life (外交生涯四十年) published in 1990.

After his retirement in 1973, the ROC government on Taiwan denied Ho a pension on the grounds that he had "not properly accounted for" the equivalent of USD$300 in embassy expenses. These charges are now widely believed to have been politically motivated. Despite repeated appeals, the ROC has never exonerated him. In the 1980s, he returned several times to his native China and visited his alma mater in Changsha for its 80th anniversary in 1986.
