Role in the Community

  • After graduating from the Geology Department at National Taiwan University, went to Irving University in Dallas, Texas; while abroad he frequently submitted contributions to《台灣公論報》— see [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys33||Our Journeys #33(張月英回憶)]].
  • Joined the editorial/translation staff of《台灣公論報》in March–April 1982 (publisher 羅福全 era; the paper’s first issue 1981-07-31 covered the 陳文成事件). Continued as editor after marriage, often working late on the paper’s distribution.
  • Wrote the article〈一個會說台灣話的四腳仔台灣人〉criticising 高資敏 in《台灣公論報》, published under the byline 許台俊; 高資敏 sued the paper for defamation on 1984-10-17 demanding USD 4.15 million (the “四腳仔官司”); the US court ruled in favour of《台灣公論報》, and the suit raised the paper’s profile and donations — see [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys63||Our Journeys #63]].
  • Our Journeys #63 refers to him as「已過世的同事張伯寬先生」— the memoir record indicates he passed away before that memoir was written.
  • Met his wife 張月英 (輔仁大學哲學系, former teacher, then editor/reporter at《台灣公論報》) through work at the paper; married September 1982. Consistent with the Family section (Anna 張月英).
  • His TAH Who’s Who encyclopedia entry is held as a work page: [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos-allen-chang||TAH #2053 Allen Chang 張伯寬 / 03/2018]].
  • Corpus re-grep 2026-09-25 (slice-09231000-19): hit set unchanged — own encyclopedia entry [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos-allen-chang|TAH #2053]], [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys33|Our Journeys #33]], [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys63|#63]] and the works index, all already absorbed above. Verified-saturated; no new corpus facts.
  • 2026-09-25 corpus re-check (deepen-x slice 09250317-14): fresh grep 張伯寬/Allen Chang over works+articles returns the identical set (whos-allen-chang, ourjourneys33, ourjourneys63, works index) — all already linked above. Verified-saturated; SKIP-no-new-facts.
  • The byline 許台俊 is his own pen name: 許台俊’s own memoir [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys207||Our Journeys #207 年會感言 (2016-03)]] states plainly 「公論報刊登一篇署名許台俊(已過世的同事張伯寬先生)的文章」, confirming the byline attribution of the〈一個會說台灣話的四腳仔台灣人〉article and the 四腳仔官司 record from the primary memoir itself.
