Biography[edit]
Tang was born in 1946 in Hengyang, Hunan, which was also the hometown of Wang Fuzhi.[3] His father Tang Zhenchu (唐振楚;1914–1999) was a member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang and official in the National Government.[4][5] His mother named Wang Dehui (王德蕙).[4][5] His elder brother Tang Yiming (唐翼明; born 1942) is a scholar on Wei and Jin dynasties literature who graduated from Wuhan University and Columbia University.[4][5] His elder sister Tang Shuming (唐漱明) died of dysentery during the Land Reform Movement in the 1950s.[4] In 1949, before moving to Taiwan, Tang's parents entrusted their children to Tang Zhenchu's elder brother Tang Xuanzu (唐宣祖).[4] In the Land Reform Movement, Tang Xuanzu was brought to be persecuted because he was a landlord.[4] Shortly after, Tang Haoming was adopted by Deng Xianhong (邓显宏), a hairdresser of Hengyang No. 2 Middle School, and renamed Deng Yunsheng (邓云生).[4]
He was a graduate student in water conservancy at the Central China College of Water Conservancy. After graduation, he worked in a farm and hydropower station as a technician.
In 1966, the Cultural Revolution was launched by Mao Zedong, at this time, he read the Twenty-Four Histories. With the resumption of the University Entrance Examination in 1977, he was accepted to the Central China Normal University and graduated in 1982. After graduation, he worked in Yuelu Publishing House as an editor.[6]
In 1986, Tang became famous for his novel, Zeng Guofan. In 2002, Tang published the novel Zhang Zhidong. He no longer writes, so this book has become his last novel.[7]
