Disambiguation: fresh corpus grep for the romanization “Christopher Lin” also hits taiwanjustice.net press coverage of 林榮基 (Causeway Books HK bookseller in Taiwan) — different person, hanzi does not match; not absorbable here.
Corpus re-check 2026-09-26 (slice 09251023-23): fresh ZH+EN grep of works/ + articles/ — hit set unchanged (own TAH #1436 record + index row only); no memoir or movement text beyond what is absorbed above. SKIP.
Re-grep 2026-10-07 (deepen-x slice 10051918-16): extended grep 林楷夫/Christopher Lin/楷夫 across all five corpus dirs returns only own record [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whoswho1436|TAH #1436]] + index rows + father’s page rev-rui-long-lin (already absorbed in Family above); NATLA/FAPA chapter files (#20 Greater DC, ourjourneys320/49) contain no 林楷夫 mention. 林榮基 disambiguation still stands. Verified-saturated.
Family
Father:Rev. Rui-Long Lin 林瑞隆牧師 — his community record lists sons 林楷夫 and 林毅夫 ([[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whoswho1436|TAH #1436]] cross-checked against [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos-who-1674-rui-long-lin|TAH #1674 林瑞隆牧師]]). HOLD: relationship inferred from the father’s Who’s Who family listing; the father’s page carries no English name to confirm identity against Christopher Lin’s profile.
