Birth and education

Chao Shou-po was born in March 1941 to a farming family in the countryside in what is now Lukang Township, Changhua County, Taiwan. In 1945, Taiwan was transferred from Japanese rule to the Nationalist Government of China and in 1947 Chao started his education. He graduated from the Tsaokang Elementary School of Lukang Township in 1953. In the same year, through a very competitive entrance examination, he was admitted to and enrolled at the junior department of the very prestigious Taichung First High School in Taichung. In 1956 he finished his junior high school education and again through a highly competitive entrance examination he entered the senior department of the same Taichung First High School.

Upon his completion of senior high school education in 1959, he took part in the extremely competitive Combined Entrance Examination for Universities and Colleges in Taiwan and was granted admission to the Zoology Department of the highly prestigious National Taiwan University. At the same time, he also passed the entrance examination of the Central Police College (now Central Police University). On August 7, 1959, a big flood swept central part of Taiwan and Chao's family suffered a very heavy property and financial loss. In order to ease the financial burden of his parents, Chao chose to enroll and study at the Central Police College which provided free tuition, books, board and lodging and a monthly allowance for students. He graduated first in his class in 1963 with a Bachelor of Law degree from the Central Police College.[2]

After serving as an inspector at the Taiwan Provincial Police Administration and completing one-year ROTC military service in the army, Chao passed the highly competitive examination for the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Scholarship for Studying Abroad in 1965. He enrolled at the College of Law of the University of Illinois, U.S. in 1967 for a master's degree. In 1968, he got the Master of Comparative Law (M.C.L.) degree from the University of Illinois with Professor Wayne R. LaFave as his thesis advisor. Immediately after his completion of the master's degree, Chao was admitted to the doctoral program in the University of Illinois College of Law. He completed his doctoral study and was conferred upon the Doctor of the Science of Law (S. J. D. or J. S.
