They would make only one more visit to China together as a family, in 1939, and after the Communists won the Chinese Civil War in 1949 her parents had no further desire to return to their country of birth.〔 (She herself would finally re-visit the country in 2005, accompanying her husband on a trip to Shenyang.)〔 She enrolled at Sweet Briar College, where she earned freshman and Dean's List honors.〔 Working part-time as a waitress, she earned a degree in zoology at Sweet Briar.〔 She later earned a master's degree in embryology from Bryn Mawr College, and a Ph.D. in developmental genetics from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, and worked as a researcher and professor at Montclair State University in New Jersey, where she was known by the nickname "Chips".〔 She later married David Pai (白先忠), a grandson of the National Revolutionary Army general Bai Chongxi, who had worked with her uncle Marshal Zhang Xueliang during the Kuomintang Northern Expedition. In 2009 they moved to Davidson, North Carolina.〔 She is the author of the genetics textbooks ''Foundations of Genetics: A Science for Society'' (McGraw-Hill 1974, ISBN 978-0070480933) and ''Genetics, Its Concepts and Implications'' (Prentice Hall 1981, ISBN 978-0133510072). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anna Chao Pai」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
