Role in the Community

Dr. Jen-Yih Chu (Albert Chu, chuj@slu.edu) is a prominent historian of the Taiwanese and Taiwanese American experience, documenting early generations of Taiwanese physicians who studied in Europe and the US.

  • Presidency, North American Hakka Association for Public Affairs (北美客協): served as the association’s second president, 1992–1993, in the succession from 陳秋鴻 (1991) to 鍾博史 (1994–1995) — see 99. Care for Taiwan by Taiwanese American: 客家台灣文化的推手.
    • Independently corroborated in two further corpus records: 徐民忠’s association history lists the same succession (1991 陳秋鴻 → 1992–1993 朱真一 → 1994–1995 鍾博史 → …) and notes 朱真一 (Albert Chu, chuj@slu.edu) among officer contacts — 2017; 魏武雄’s sketch of 北美客協 gives the identical president list — 2016. No conflicts with the existing record.

  • Co-author: 「醫界溫馨與關懷」 with 賴其萬 — see 1146. 醫界温馨與關懷.

  • Archival collection: his personal holdings are preserved as a named archive in the corpus — 「11. Collection of Prof. Jen-Yih Chu 朱真一教授的收藏」(2017) — see TAH 檔案 11, 朱真一教授的收藏; own encyclopedia record at TAH 檔案 8, 2018.
  • NATMA early infrastructure: under 廖坤塗’s presidency (1983–1990), the Saint Louis branch’s 朱真一, 沈武典, and 陳澤華 were responsible for publishing the eight issues of the NATMA 會刊 sent to medical-school libraries in Taiwan — see 2014-12.
  • Contributor to 賴其萬’s language memoir: 賴其萬 records a story 朱真一 told him — a Hakka classmate’s father who grew up hearing neither 「國語」 nor 台灣話 on television — as a formative anecdote in 「台灣的語言－我的心路歷程」 — see 2016-03.
  • Prolific community historian — corpus bibliography: the corpus preserves a long line of his own historical/biographical works, establishing him as one of the movement’s principal record-keepers:
  • Biographer of movement pioneers (taiwanjustice.net column record):
  • NTU alumni civic engagement: signed the 2018-07-20 台大校友會抗議聲明 (against 南加州台大校友會邀請管中閔專題演講) listed as 朱真一（醫科） — consistent with his NTU College of Medicine M.D. (1965) — TJJ, 2018-07-21.
