Chang was born in Kuichou (current Guizhou), China. In his early years, he went to Tianjin to live with his relative there, and graduated from Tianjin Nankai High School. When Chang was a student he was very active in politics, and joined the Chinese Revolutionary Party.
In 1919, Chang went to study in Europe with the financial aid from then Chinese government. Chang spent three years in London at Slade School of Fine Art, an art school of the University College London.[1] Chang also spent more than one year in Paris at the École des Beaux-Arts. He married a French woman, Suzanne Grimonprez, in 1928 although he had met and admired Jiang Biwei, but she was the partner of the artist Xu Beihong.[2] According to Xu's second wife, Liao Jingwen, Chang spread gossip about Xu having an affair with the student and artist, Sun Duoci, in order to drive a wedge between the couple.[3]
In 1937, he was exchanging letters with Jiang Biwei who was now single, as her partner had fallen for his student, the painter Sun Duoci. Chang knew that the Japanese were thought to be about to bomb Nanjing and he arranged for Jiang Biwei to escape to Chongqing. Here, they could correspond and secretly see each other but she could not appear as his consort if he was on official business. (Jiang Biwei was married to a man she had abandoned to live with Yu). Chang was a married man and the vice-minister of education. He arranged for Jiang to be given a job.[2] Chang adopted Biwei's daughter, Lilian, or Lilian was Chang and Biwei's daughter outside wedlock. Lilian was raised by Chang's wife Suzanne.
Chang's French wife was a difficulty in Chinese society and Chang sent her abroad for some years. Chinese students who had brought back foreign wives were considered foolish.[4]
