Chuang Yung-Ming (April 3, 1942 – August 7, 2020), born in Dadaocheng district, Taipei, was a scholar of Taiwan literature and history[1]. He was also a writer and a pioneer in collecting historical materials in Taiwan. He served as directory of the Taipei City Archives and director of the Wu San-lien Taiwan Historical Foundation.[2][3][4][5]
Life and Career
Chuang Yung-Ming spent his childhood in Dadaocheng district. He attended the Junior High Division of Chien Kuo High School and Taiwan Provincial Taipei Junior College of Business, and then he went on to study at the Craft Division of the Art and Craft Department of the National Taiwan Academy of Arts. After graduation, he worked as an accountant for Tatung Company’s affiliations. In his spare time, Chuang began writing about the history of his hometown and submitting articles to newspapers. He also began to become a tour guide. After retiring from his accounting job, Chuang devoted himself to writing about Taiwan’s local history and was invited by the China Times to write a column titled “First in Taiwan,” which was later compiled into a book. [6][7]The “Dadaocheng Area Tour” historical-story-telling session led by Chuang has reached a total of more than 10,000 participants.
Residence
The Chuang family’s historical house, Chuang Hsieh-Fa Grocery Store built in the 1920s has been designated by The Department of Cultural Affairs, Taipei City Government as a city-designated historic site under the name “Dadaocheng Qianqiu Street Stores—Chuang Hsieh-Fa,” which makes it the first grocery store in Taipei to be designated as a historic site. Chuang transformed the historical house into the “Chuang Hsieh-Fa Harbor Area Historical Lecture Pavilion.”
Contributions
In 2005, Chuang wrote a biography, The Life Story of Hahn Shyr-Chyuan, which introduces the life story of Dr. Hahn Shyr-Chyuan, a famous doctor practiced in Tainan City. In September 2014, the descendants of Hahn Shyr-Chyuan donated Chuang’s manuscript to National Museum of Taiwan Literature, and that makes this biography his first manuscript to be preserved in a national museum.[8][9]
On August 7, 2020, Chuang passed away at the age of 79. On the day of his death, Minister of Culture Lee Yung-Te paid tribute to Chuang for his life of discovering, collecting, promoting and nurturing Taiwan literature and history.[10] [11]On August 23, President Tsai Ing-Wen personally issued a commendation for his outstanding contributions to the inheritance and promotion of Taiwanese culture, praising Chuang as “the first person in Taiwanese public history.”[12][13]
