Poetic Obituaries: "The elder Chang and his daughter both contributed

articles to The Korea Times as English professors, which is a rare case in any newspaper. (The younger) [Young-hee] Chang's work was never political and touched the hearts of many readers, both foreign and local," said Park Chang-seok, a former managing editor of The Korea Times and writer of the book "History of English Language Newspapers in Korea."

Both father and daughter also won in The Korea Times' Modern Korean Literature Translation Awards. The elder Chang picked up an award in the novel division for his translation of "Trees on the Mountain Slopes," while Chang won a prize 10 years later by translating the poem "The Fragrance of Autumn."
