The Reminiscences of Tsiang T'ing-fu (Chinese: 蔣廷黻回憶錄; pinyin: Jiǎngtíngfú huíyìlù) is an English memoir written by Tsiang Tingfu. [2] It contains chapters on Tsiang's family background, studying in the United States, teaching in Nankai University and Tsinghua University, visiting Moscow, and others.[3] Due to the death of Tsiang on 9 October 1965, the oral autobiography was an unfinished project and was not completed until 1974 when it was embellished and revised by Anita O'Brien.[4]

The book was originally part of the Chinese Oral History Project, East Asian Institute of Columbia University, hosted by Franklin Ho and C. Martin Wilbur, [5] and done with Crystal Lorch Seidman.[6]

The Reminiscences of Tsiang T'ing-fu was first published in 1974 by East Asian Institute of Columbia University in New York.[7] The Chinese translation of the book was first published in 1979 by Biographical Literature Press in Taipei. [8]
