I am looking for an old friend. We were penpals in the 1960's. He lived in Taipai, was married, and last I heard had one son. He was a school teacher, teaching English classes. He was my mother's and then my penpal. We called him Johnny. I may have have spelled his Chinese name correctly. He left China when he was 16 years old with the help of an uncle. His parents remained behind in China. If anyone in Taiwan knows of a way to search for my old friend, I would appreciate an email.

I know it's a long shot, but I've been thinking about him recently and would like to know that he and his family are okay.

Excuse me. I meant to say I may have spelled his Chinese name INcorrectly.

If you have his address in Taipei, the police in Taiwan may be able to locate his famiy.

Since he has other family members in China, it also possible that he had already reconnected with them. My father-in-law was one of such when Taiwan goverment recognized the regime of communist China in late 80's.

If my calculation is right, he should be at least 78 years old today.( assuming he came to Taiwan with KMT when he was age 16 which was 1949.)

Good luck.
