Role in the Community
The foundation carries the name of composer Chuang-Shien Lu 呂泉生, one of the most significant Taiwanese composers of the postwar era. The corpus holds multiple community records of his — and by extension his foundation’s cultural sphere’s — presence in the Southern California Taiwanese American community:
- TAHS preserves his community record in two 2016/03 features: 333. Chuang-Shien Lu 呂泉生, Composer & Musician and 864. Chuang-Shien Lu 呂泉生.
- In the memoir Our Journeys 301, 呂泉生 is described as present at a benefit concert where the encore of four Taiwanese folk songs (《月夜愁》《阮若打開心內的門窗》《嘸通嫌台灣》《阿母的頭髮》) moved him and composer Hsiao Tai-jen 蕭泰然 to the point of moving the whole hall — evidence of his living role in the community’s musical life, not just a namesake.
- The Taiwan Center’s own Taiwan School (台灣學校) classical-music appreciation class taught his most famous song 《杯底不可飼金魚》 together with its 228-era context; instructor Dr. Sze-ya Yeh 葉思雅 had studied piano under 呂泉生 herself (

HOLD: the English name “Kee-Jen” vs. the romanization “Chien” in the pinyin-style “Chuang-Shien” of 呂泉生’s name ( Wade-Giles vs. other romanization of 泉生 ) — no auto-merge of spelling; recorded as both appear.
