So I've changed my home directory to /home/d.tang in my passwd file. I
copied the .bashrc into my new home directory.
But when I restart cygwin, it still doesn't load the .bashrc.
Bash on Cygwin is normally invoked as a login shell, in which case it
doesn't source .bashrc. Instead, it sources .bash_profile or .profile,
so unless you explicitly source .bashrc from there, it won't be
processed.

Thank you Andy! Problem was the missing .bash_profile file.
Cheers,
Dave
