Birth Time Verification
The birth record gives November 17, 1925 at 02:15; this page uses that recorded time. The chart used here is Yi-Chou, Ding-Hai, Yi-Si, Ding-Chou. It is a Yi Wood day master with the Ding-Hai month pillar and Direct Resource structure; favorable elements lean toward Metal, Fire, and Earth, while excess Wood and Water can add strain. This is an interpretive reading, not a substitute for biography or historical evidence. When the hour is inferred, that premise stays visible.
