"James Hudson Taylor III (1929–2009), a great-grandson of Hudson Taylor, was born in Kaifeng, Henan. In 1942, aged twelve, he was interned with siblings and his grandfather in the Japanese camp at Weifang (Weihsien), Shandong, remaining there until Japan's defeat in 1945. In June 1955 he and his wife arrived in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, to begin missionary work; in 1970 he became the founding president of China Evangelical Seminary, and from 1980 to 1991 he served as the seventh General Director of OMF."
