Chang was eventually taken to Taiwan where he remained under arrest until Chiang's 1975 death.<ref name=":02" />{{Rp|page=53}} Much of his time was spent studying [[Ming dynasty]] literature, and the [[Manchu language]], and collecting Chinese fan paintings, calligraphy and other works of art by illustrious artists (a collection of more than 200 works, using his studio's name "Dingyuanzhai" ({{lang|zh-Hant|定遠齋}}), was auctioned with tremendous success by Sotheby's on 10 April 1994).
 
Chang studied the [[New Testament]] [[Bible]]. In 1964, he formally married Edith Chao, daughter of a senior official, who left her family in her teens to become his companion and later followed him into exile. His first wife, Ms. Yu, said she was so moved by Ms. Chao's devotion that she released her husband from his vows. Chang and his wife, Edith, became devout Christians who also regularly attended Sunday services at [[Shilin Official Residence|the Methodist chapel]] in [[Shilin District|Shilin]], a Taipei suburb, with Chiang Kai-Shek's family. After Chiang's death in 1975, his freedom was officially restored.
