Because of this, although the 228 Incident meant that the Chang family lost many members and four were arrested, with only Chang I-jen escaping because he was a military doctor at the time (although he finally went far away to Brazil), and the main branch of the Chang family was completely dispersed in one night, the survivors did not transfer their anger onto so-called "provincial outsiders."
因此，對張家而言，雖然「二二八事件」讓他們家破人亡，四人被捕，只有張依仁當時因有軍醫身分而得以倖免，不過最後還是遠走巴西。
