Beschreibung:

 The Sino-Japanese war broke out in 1937.
 In Brazil, 鍾民强 who had investment in a Brazil aluminum company, lost considerable savings
as a result of the outbreak of the war.
 He played an active role in fundraising in Brazil for the Chinese government during the war and received an official recognition of his contribution from the Chinese government. A copy of this letter of appreciation is being kept till today in the Chinese Association office archive.
 Meanwhile in China,鍾有迴 (Jorge) got stuck due to the war and could not return to Brazil. His first two daughters VeiYen 鍾惠英 and CelYen 鍾秀英 were born in China.
 The war devastated the Chung family as many in the family died from illness, hunger, accident and killing by enemy soldiers.
 When his son was born,鍾有迴 (Jorge) asked his brother 鍾民强 Rodolfo in Brazil to name him. The name 鍾啟祥 Kai Cheung was given, meaning the ‘beginning’ 啟 Kai of luck 祥 Cheung. 祥 Cheung is the designated word for his generation from the genealogy.
 During this tremendous hard time,鍾有迴 (Jorge) had a relative and good friend 鍾光耀 who supported each other under some of the most dire circumstances. This relative later also went to Brazil and lived in Sao Paulo and then in Sao Caetano (photo to be added).
