Although he rushed off to China and changed his name to Wang Yue-chih, he gave his eldest son the single name "Tai," as in Taiwan. He told his wife that they would never return to Taiwan as long as it was in the hands of the Japanese, that they would return only after Taiwan had been recovered.
他直奔中國，改名叫王悅之，長子卻單名為「台」；他告訴妻子，只要台灣還在日本手中，我們就不回去，一旦光復我們再回去。
