Role in the Community

  • Recorded in the TAH encyclopedia as record 177: 177. David Chu 朱欽騏 (published 2014-12-28, value band B), catalogued in the TAH story index.
  • Otherwise absent from memoir/corpus narrative — the only other corpus match (“David Chun-Ming Lai”, Our Journeys 305) is a different person (牧師 David Chun-Ming Lai 賴), not this David Chu; no community-activity facts absorbed.
  • 2026-09-20 / 2026-09-21 / 2026-09-22 re-verified: corpus grep returns only these records, the story index, and Our Journeys 305 (牧師 David Chun-Ming Lai 賴, different person) — no new material to absorb.
  • Re-verified 2026-09-25 (slice 09231300-6): corpus grep returns #177, the works index, and Our Journeys 305 (different person) — nothing new absorbable; skip stance stands.

SKIP re-check (deepen-x slice 10051918-27, 2026-10-07): exact 朱欽騏/朱钦骐 + EN greps across all five corpus dirs return only own [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/177-david-chu-e6-9c-b1-e6-ac-bd-e9-a8-8f|TAH #177]] record + index lines; loose ‘Nautica’ substring hits resolve to ‘nautical’ (SeaGuardian drone articles), not the brand — verified-saturated, nothing absorbable.
