Chang Fu-hsing (; 21 July 1942 – 18 May 2003) was a Taiwanese politician who served as a member of the Legislative Yuan from 1999 to 2001 and as Hualien County magistrate from 2001 until his death in 2003.
Chang attended schools in his native Hualien before earning a bachelor's degree in law from Soochow University. He then furthered his legal education at Kinki University in Japan.[1]
Chang served in the Legislative Yuan from 1999 to 2001 when he was elected Hualien County magistrate with 59,591 votes in the local elections.[2] He was a cofounder of the Taroko Gorge Marathon, which started in 2000.[3]
Chang died of lung cancer on 18 May 2003 at Taipei Veterans General Hospital.[4] He was married to Liu Chao-a (劉詔娥) until his death.[5] Liu attempted to capture the Kuomintang nomination for her husband's position,[6] but later mounted an independent election bid supported by the Democratic Progressive Party to succeed her husband in the early stages of a four-way race.[7] [8] She won neither party's endorsement and later dropped out of the race.[9] Chang was succeeded by Hsieh Shen-shan, who won 73,710 votes in the by-election following Chang's death.[10]
